thank you

Always "Update failed"
I've tried all the different UPDATE.APP versions. And every one of them starts to unpack, and then, just as it's about to start installing,
I get a yellow warning triangle and an "Update failed" message.
Anyone experienced the same or know what to do with this?
I'd like to root the current 2.3.6 or upgrade to ICS or something, but everything just fails
The phone is totally stock from manufacturer, I haven't flashed or done anything.

Update 12.04.2013: Different Sound improvements
People who have problems with sound try this link from Zopo-Forum
or from Patchworkoftips
Update 11.04.2013: Data Resize partition to 2.74GB Detailed description from here
1. We backup with recovery.
2. Unloaded and 2.74GB decompressed data (Thx to spanish friends! ).
3. SP Open Flashtool and as we have done before installing the recovery in scatter-loading MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt select the file in the folder where we unzipped 2.74GB Data
4. We ensure that only EBR1 and EBR2 are marked.
5. We Give to Download, accept the prompt, connect via USB the phone off the PC. As with the recovery if the process fails, disconnect the cable, remove and put the battery and repeat this step.
6. If all goes well, will back the green circle. Disconnect the phone from the PC.
7. Now we go back to recovery (Turn on the phone by holding the power key + volume +).
8. In the recovery do wipe data / factory reset.
9. Optionally if you want to restore the data and installed applications we advance restore, choose the backup you made ​​in step 1, and finally we give to Restore data.
10. Reboot from recovery. In this first boot after repartitioning we may see a notification saying the phone storage is damaged, then click in it. It will show a dialog box asking if you want to format the SD card, does not refer to the External SD but the phone's internal memory, so we do not fear clicking on Format. After doing the latter, voila, you have the Data partition (where apps are installed) extended to 2.74GB

I've got a quad core 6589 version, so far cannot find a way to root it..
And it's NetworkLocation.apk is missing, i tried a couple of NetworkLocation.apk from JellyBean gapps zip files, no one seems to work, either not installable, crash on boot or not working.
3G connection seems to be dodgy, H/H+ is shown on the top bar but data is not coming down normally, during 1 minute, only less than 100k data come down and not able to load even 1 page...
Anyone has the same problem?

star b943 (mtk6589 b94m)
could someone translate recovery menu from Chinese Language

Yes the baseband or antennas seems to be crap.
Start download and remove your hands from the device or take it only with two fingers on the upper side, then my downlads finish and downloads show normal values. Speedtest with upload is seems to be fine,...
If someone needs root or cwm write me pm, or give me public upload location I´m not so experienced with this,...
Best regards

Thanks for the advice

The MT6589 is really good stuff, for me its my personal Favorite , but I would prefer smaller devices with 4-4,7" max screensize.
5,5" and higher does not really fit in any shirt pocket. If I ever have to carry a bag for my phone I would prefer a tablet with much better screens and battery life.
So i´m looking forward to Jiayu G4, G5, UMI X1S, or something similar screensize

Thank you everyone for your hard work and time. I have very little experience (twice with well established models)

The MTK chipsets have always been weak on data connection starting from the MTK6573. It's so bad that connection can be lost while my Samsung right beside it has a good connection.
Anybody knows what is wrong with this China made phones?

I managed to root. Thanks for the help guys (sarcasm).......The files that "cmoegele" posted worked except for the usb driver files. I had to use PdAnet for connection. I'll be watching to see what other members find on the camera focus and poor data comms.
Thank You

Data upload is stable, and downlad has good values for a while, but slows down from time to time. So I think the device is not doing completly wrong. There needs to be still some finetuning in Baseband and Rom like man other devices always need.
The performance and quality is really good, even +2 days Batter lifetime is a good value for this powerful device.
I´m waiting for new Roms

Hi fmehrtens, may I know the RAM and ROM capacity of your phone model? I am wondering if 8GB ROM and 1GB RAM model can be rooted using same method, thanks.

Spec says 8GB ROM and 1GB RAM, however AnTuTu shows only 1GB ROM and 1GB RAM. Am I missing anything here?

Hello,
I've ordered this new phone Star One B943 Quad core, and i want to thank u for the rooting method ^^
I'm searching for the ROM stock, does anyone have the idea where i can find it ?
And i found that the Miz Z1 is the same phone, but with Android 4.2.1 installed. Do u think it's possible to upgrade the Star OS version with the Miz Z1 firmware ?

It is a 4G ROM and 1G RAM. Just FYI, the first time I tried to root it did not root, I had to try it a couple of times, and then I also loaded the ZIP file on the ROM memory along with the SD card. It worked that time. Not sure if that's what helped or not. The phone is a really nice phone ecpecially after rooting. I am also having trouble with Amazon App store app, Netflix playing too slow and the camera focus.
Good Luck and Thanks!

I'm searching for the ROM stock, does anyone have the idea where i can find it ?
And i found that the Miz Z1 is the same phone, but with Android 4.2.1 installed. Do u think it's possible to upgrade the Star OS version with the Miz Z1 firmware ?

I have got a Copy of the origin Rom done with SPFTools. If it is needed. You also can use the Scatterfile from the zip-file.
Do you have a link for the 4.2.1 Miz Z1 firmware ? Perhaps its a fake,...
Otherwise I will flash it to our device except the Preloader, so if it fails I could go back to stock.

Data upload is stable, and downlad has good values for a while, but slows down from time to time. So I think the device is not doing completly wrong. There needs to be still some finetuning in Baseband and Rom like man other devices always need.
The performance and quality is really good, even +2 days Batter lifetime is a good value for this powerful device.
I´m waiting for new Roms

May I know the country you using the phone in? I have very bad experience with MTK chipsets with regards to data transfer. Other phones e.g. Samsung, LG do not give me this problem.
How to improve the data performance?

[Q] Need help with rooting ZTE N5 Grand Memo

Hello :laugh:,
I have an ZTE Grand Memo V9815 N5 Flagship Phone APQ8064 Quad Core 2G 16G Android 4.1.2 5.7inch from China, and i was wandering if anyone allready has found something to Root this device.
I have tried the standard superoneclick, but thats not working and crashes when in progress.:silly:
I want to root it, cause i need Google play on it. I have installed Google Services/Google Framework, and i can setup an account in Google Play, but after the account stuff Google Framework/Google Services/Youtube service/Google Play crashes constantly
So i contacted ZTE for support, but there is no Rom, or any update for this phone.
I googled some, and at some websites they wrote to Root the device, so its not crashing anymore.
Please help me to get Root on my phone, so i can install Google Play Store.
Thanks in Advance !!

Good!
took weeks breaking my head up late at night from surfing the net to find some way to rooting this stunning smartphone. But I've been stuck due to no knowledge of ADB commands and of course having no Chinese idea, since supposedly there's an app that automatically Root the phone, but I can not make it work.
Having my disability, I share with you all the information and resources I've got to give you hope someone knows the correct usage.
And it is a shame that a HIGH terminal does not remove all power performance not ROOT and therefore can not set you GAPPS

Can anyone give detailed directions?
I just got the device. I tried installing a google play store apk (tried a few different versions) all installed but none work.
How can I install the play store? Do I have to root the device? If so, are there detailed (English) instructions somewhere?

Someone knows if the Mobileuncle MTK Tools can root zte v5? I need to find a" one-click" app...

Partial success
I have installed the rom from needrom for the N5 android v 4.2.2. Took a while to flash the recovery, which is in chainese (driver issues). But still have serious connections issues:
The 3G network disconnects on restart and takes forever to reconnect. Wifi doesn't work! Built in keyboard is awful and also... chainese!
But it is rooted and has the google apps.
Does any one recommend a better combination of recovery and rom?
This is my wife's phone and she is having a lot of trouble with it.

I Followed downloaded the files from the dropbox posted upper in this thread. and followd the instructions in the previous page. Pay special attention to installing the driver for the divice. As soon as it reboots into bootloader it requires another driver.
Also if you must not restart the phone before flashing the rom otherwise it won't last.

Unbrick your Tab!
To unbrick your device all you simply have to do is go back to the CWM and restore your backup that you created earlier. If you don't have one, here is a copy of a working backup ---> Google Drive. Credits to @andrei_kr, say thanks!

How to fix touch!
If you unbricked your tablet and your touch isn't working, there is no need to worry. @andrei_kr has provided a guide on how to fix that touchscreen. Credits to him.
NOTE: If your touch is working then do not try this, it will mess up your touch!!
You probably got this touchscreen issue by flashing a different kernel with incorrect drivers.
Now your configuration is likely to differ from the native. You can view the konifig in command prompt or in the terminal :
Code:
cat /proc/gt9xx_config
(only mtk) or using the gtp_tools apk (it is in the attached file below).
It starts with the byte sequence: 0x41 0x1C 0x02 0xC0 0x03
0x41 - 65 version
0x1C 0x02 - 540 horizontal resolution
0xC0 0x03 - 960 vertical resolution
Touch must somehow work to press the button, if there is support otg, then it's easier, you can connect a mouse.
1. Install the gtp_tools_v2.6_20140126_special.apk
2. Go to the option Firmware update. Click refresh, see IC Version: 913_1020 then touch GT913 firmware and 1020.
3. Go to the option Config Settings, press read, the data were considered. Under Normal Config we have:
65 version
540 horizontal resolution
960 vertical resolution
4. Click browse, select click browse to the native config.
5. Native configuration take from your device, in the same paragraph, press the save (saves the backup config file). Native configuration for Fly IQ446 in the attached file. Press send.
6. If nothing has changed, look at the version you have and native config. Then change the version of the file in the native config in your hex.
Example: 0x41 = 65 home, a stranger 0x49 = 73 => replace the 0x41 to 0x49.

Thanks for report.

First want to say much thanks for this thread, it was getting frustrating trying to find a solution.
I have encountered a slight issue trying to unstuck 2 of these devices.
neither have been rooted and are stock devices.
i cant seem to get cwm to locate the backup that you supplied.
do i need to copy it to the cwm backup folder on my sd card?

NuVision TM101A510L
Will this method work with the NuVison TM101A510L. It seems like a lot of work to do if I'm not sure about this model. Also I have a problem with this model overheating and crashing when I play Pixel Gun 3d and it's pissing me off. I just fired off a curse filled missive to NuVision support. They don't even list this model on their registration page and it seems they have no faith in this model. I will never buy this brand again, in fact I would recommend against it to my customers. I've used Azpen tablets with no problem rooting or playing Pixel Gun 3d. I took a chance and I'm so damned sorry I did.
;angry

Thank you so much for this thread!!! I have been looking for a recovery for a few months now and cant believe I didn't find this until now...

ok so a minor problem... I cant seem to flash the recovery... Not sure if ive placed the recovery file on my sd card properly or not cause i locate a few backup files none of which have any effect. I gave up in frustration untill now. ( Currrently working on a few androids one rooting one imea changing so figured id take a crack at these devices again. THe layer of dust on these things are getting a bit thick.)

I think the models numbers are specific so I can't say for certain that this will work with your tab. Try the fastboot/rooting procedure first and then maybe you can just restore the system partition only not corrupting the boot/kernel.

You are using the fastboot method correct? If the recovery script says finished as in no errors show on the screen then it could be the device itself. What do you see?

ill let you know just as soon as i can get back to working on those devices... im prety sure if memory serves correctly, that I was getting some errors regarding unable to mound sd or ext sd. I could be wrong but thats what comes to mind.
Im up to my neck in jobs on other devices. (rooting galaxy S5, changing imei on another S5, IMEI change on a LG Stylo 2 plus, Galaxy Tab 2 system issues need to diagnose, and several screen and lcd replacments)

STUCK
ok so i have a little time to work on these....
When i run the launch.bat and get to fastboot, it goes through the instalation and everything checks ok till the very end where it says failed cause too many links.
included the screenshot so you can see.
At this point im unsure if i just need to try flashing the supersu zip like it instructs but having tried befor it had no luck.
can I not just flash twrp on this thing then su like with most root methods?

after ive flashed super su, when i go to restor the working backup i see a list of backups... including yours but when i select it i always get :
checking md5 sums...
md5 mismatch!
what now?
(i tried just flashing the boot but even that comes back with same error)
I know on other devices the recovery is an img file any the one you provide is a rar... i extracted to my desktop and was gonna try flashing with abd/fastboot but since its not an img file, im thinking it wont work...
any thoughts?
Im still unsure how to flash the recovery that u supply in the section for fixing bootloop....

The too many links error is common for this device. Touch doesn't work with TWRP on this device so CWM is out only go. You can root and using cwm like any other root method.

[GUIDE][TWRP][ROOT] Oukitel C4 TWRP (by Jemmini) & (systemless) Root

DISCLAIMER: all operations descripted here should be done *only* by trained & expert guys... as every "hacking" operations, they involve the risk of soft/hard bricking your device making it unusable temporary or permanently. I will not be responsable in any way for it. So, pay attention and, if not sure, simply don't do it.
WARNING #1: this is a fast guide describing needed steps and providing needed files only for expert guys. It is *not*suitable* for newbies who need detailed instructions on how to install drivers, programs, flash partitions, etc...
WARNING #2: on this phone there are (strangely...) close ties between boot.img and recovery.img content. This involves that changing contents of recovery.img can produce bootloop and changing contents of boot.img can prevent to access recovery too, creating a soft brick condition. I don't know exactly why, BUT you are warned.
WARNING #3: the procedure and files provided are *only* for ROM1 firmware version 14 of 13 Aug 2016. It is indicated as OUKITEL_C4_V14.0_20160813 in "About phone" and as t637d-oq-s08-fdd3m-hd-64g8g-sd internally. If you are on a differently indicated version and/or release date, *don't*even*think* about trying to apply the provided files: bootloops and (at least) soft bricks are easy coming, expecially because of warning #2...
WARNING #4: all provided files are in .zip format only due to forum rules and limitations. They *all* need to be *unpacked* before use them.
CREDITS: this TWRP recovery has been compiled by Jemmini on 4PDA forum. Since of the Russian only language of that forum and the very hard way to subscribe on it for not Russians (needed to download files too...), I'm reporting it here with more explanations and my hints & experiences too...
Said that... Let's start! :highfive:
IF (and *only* if...) your firmware version is reported as OUKITEL_C4_V14.0_20160813 in your phone, these are the steps to follow:
- unlock your bootloader (no special code needed, just enable the apposite option slider in Developers section of Settings and unlock it by the standard fastboot command in fastload mode... you need adb, fastboot and adb/fastboot drivers installed in your pc obviously )
Please remember that, as ever, unlocking your bootloader will factory reset your phone (and void your warranty...), so take it in proper account....
- using SP Flash Tool (recent versions since of the new MT6737 used in C4... tested one is the v.5.1644, just Google for it) just flash the provided twrp-c4.img (by Jemmini on 4PDA) selecting "Download only" on top, using the provided scatter file and selecting only the recovery row (browsing to twrp-c4.img file). Then press Download button and connect your phone in OFF status. If all was OK and you have MTK drivers properly installed (Google for them... search for MT6737 drivers. To test them just try to connect your phone to PC as storage to check if it is properly seen...), you should see a green checking sign "v" on top of SP Flash tool.
If nothing happens, try to reinstall drivers and/or doublecheck your phone is in OFF status when connected.
- don't try to boot to system now. It simply doesn't anyway.
For some unknown reason connected to warning #2, flashing twrp introduces a bootloop (soft brick...) on this phone.
Nothing to be worried of anyway: systemless rooting will fix it!
To root simply flash by TWRP (yes, you need to enable /system modification on first twrp boot...) SuperSU v.2.78 "standard" version in zip format (just Google for it...).
For standard is intended the released one, not SRx or "forced to system" one... (tested version is SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip) .
Just remember that, since of unability to boot system before flashing SuperSU, its zip have to be already on your device before flashing TWRP. Otherwise you can use a microSD card to flash from it...
If you do all fine you now have your rooted & TWRP 3.0.2-x provided Oukitel C4!!! :highfive:
If you are in a bootloop condition you aren't able to fix, just turn off your phone and, ever using SP Flash Tool in the same way, simply reflashing stock boot.img and recovery.img (both provided as zipped-to-to-be-unzipped attachment for... emergency reasons ).
After, if you want, you can install Xposed (in system mode) or busybox by app (it will be automatically installed in systemless mode since of supersu installation method...).
Don't even try to install Magisk v.9 instead: it will not work and will produce a soft brick (with no recovery access too...) that will requires a boot.img and recovery.img reflashing to be solved (with all this procedure to be redone one more time...).
This said... if you have questions... I'm here to answer them. Otherwise... have a nice time with your TWRP provided and systemless Rooted Oukitel C4!!! :fingers-crossed:

Reserved. :silly:

Added in OP. Don't expect to find more anyway...

I can confirm that this TWRP build also works fine with the newest OUKITEL_C4_V17.0_20161124 Firmware. Important: before flashing TWRP disable your boot lock code, otherwise you will softbrick your device.
Entec do you have an 4pda Account? If yes it would be really awesome if you could add the second TWRP recovery image for oukitel phones with the Rxx_xxxx ROM to OP.
EDIT:
I successfully installed XPOSED on my C4! This rocks the **** out of an 50 EUR budget phone!

Hello thank you for your information, could you provide us also TWRP for 32bits version (R06), I have tried to download from de forum but file is not avalaible.

We need someone with 4PDA Account....
However, have you tried to install the 64Bit rom? You can get the Stock 64 Bit Rom from needrom.com. I advise you to do the software update before flashing TWRP linked in this thread.

Hello thank you I have flashed 64 bits Rom and updated to V17, now all OK with TWRP and SuperSU.
Seam 64 bits version more slow than R06, but OK.
Thanks.

Hello I have tried to use native sip editing the files in /system/etc/permissions but the option is not available in phone menu. Someone know how to activate?

I managed to create an account on 4pda.ru and downloaded twrp for all firmware versions!
Files are attached!
Use twrp_recovery_C4_V.zip if your phone uses the OUKITEL_C4_VXX.X_XXXXXXXX firmware (Tested with OUKITEL_C4_V17.0_20161124)
Use twrp_recovery_R0x.zip if your phone uses the R0X_XXXXXX firmware. (Tested with R06_102033)

Where is OUKITEL_C4_V17.0_20161124 firm now?
I can't find it at needrom.com.

Thank you. twrp_recovery_R0x installed successfully.
However, in my environment, I needed the latest version of SP_Flash_Tool_v 5.1712_Win.
With other versions of sp_flash_tool, I did not succeed any number of times.

After you added an Sip account you can choose you default dailing method as follows: Dailer -> Settings -> Accounts -> Dail With
You also see your SIP account as "additional SIM Card" when Opening the dailer!

Thank you!
