I suggest you load barsuk_CWMRecovery first, its down in the 2nd post..and do the usual wipes that you should do before flashing a rom..
Just a quick note, hopefully will save others some time too..
I think if you just went ahead and flashed the zip from the sdcard..
and now got 'android' loading with blinking cursor and no further..
For the hell of it, I did the same and got the same result..
The download is not a flash-able zip straight from the sdcard..
read further down for instructions
Then I went ahead and used the USB method..

No drama.. flashed and working fine.. just no camera at the moment.. I might play with some of the uboot's to see if it makes a difference.. but for now if you want your pad back.. I suggest go the USB route..
if you need a cable.. I use the same cable that comes with the usb cooling fans,
that power the cooling boards that people use under laptops.. Make sure you load the drivers or your computer will not recognize the pad.
Follow SmaRkieS thread and you should be fine..
If you cant burn the main android image using USB method.
You can try the MicroSD card method, but this is only applicable if your tablet will display the right uboot versions under the InfoTMIC start up logo.
@dyfren What does file zSYS.img?
I would say this is recovery.. I flashed it into this section..
hope this helps..
Will play over the weekend with it..
but at this stage running real smooth..

i had a go following the guide and it was fine until i got to flashing the actual Android image, (number 19 in the Guide). PC does its bit, then tablet comes up with "flashing/updating linux" (first bit tablet does) or something like that but the progress bar always stays empty, left it for 10-15 mins and still hadnt moved. tried the version in the guide and the version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067746
also tried SD card method, comes up with "Updating image hRamdisk" and a dead progress bar.
Which version of Android did you use at step 19?
Thanks for your help so far, seems to be getting there

Yes.. I recommend it.. makes it feel just that bit more snappy..
Once I get time this weekend will try the root methods..then load in the V6 scripts and see how it goes..
sent from yet another MikG HTC Evo

which u-boot are you using?
mines still getting stuck at "Updating image linux-2.6.32.9"

MS
mine is Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587)
Try the usual.. plug unplug and reboot computer..
as IUW can be a bit painful..

anybody test this FW ? i wanna try that new 4325 .

rooting
Working root using universal androot 1.6.2beta5
@hunterx: 4325 is working very fast. IT won't shutdown when in standby but drains battery faster.

Someone can explain how to modify the firmware to support the 3G _Barsuk_ as he had done?

Thanks for the new ROM, just installed USB method, works fine.
Generaly looks very "snappy" for a Pad with only 256mb of RAM.
Camera "force closes"; Youtube works fine, and Wifi also.
I'll keep posting as long as i play with it.
Sheers

anyone got USB1 or USB2 readable?
when I plug them in I am getting "preparing memory device" then "memory device ready for remove"
To me, this is saying that it see's it.. but for some reason is calling to unmount it straight away..
I would say it is fixable as we had a similar problem on other Roms.. its just setting up the right command..
I have loaded a mix of drivers in to the system/lib/modules...but no success..
Then tried to use terminal but not getting access in to the root..
I kinda need to learn a few more commands in terminal..
(Back to DOS days..)
is there a cheat sheet around for the basic commands?
was playing with the aps2sd.. got the sdcard formatted with a sd2ext
But its a no go at the moment.. as even with TB backup
This Rom is not mounting into it..
As said before, I can't even get script manager to load up so can't load V6 scripts..
Maybe someone will have better luck then me..

question about the flash
Last time I flashed is a while ago so dont know if im doing things right.
So ive got a few questions before I will flash
On startup my pad shows 0.6.1.2. (587) at the right bottom
So can I skip the uboot part of the SMarkies guide?
The folder of 4325 contains more files than mentioned in the guide if i'm correct I only have to use : Kernal, user, system and ramdisk? Please confirm?
Do i have to use ramdisk in 4325 folder or the one mentioned in the Smarkies guide?
Your advice please have to use my pad on christmastrip for my kids so I cant risk to brick it

It's not a problem with this Rom, I also faced the same with previous versions and stock Rom, any of you guys face accelerometer axels inverted when playing games like Raging Thunder or Labyrinth? When bending down turns right and bending up turns left.
Strange, it happens with all games and still can’t find a solution.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Try this patched lib.
View attachment libreference_ril.Universal.zip
Is new solution for 3g. It is much easier. Who want may create update.zip for CWM.
Just replace original lib and set permissions to 644 (owner root).
EDIT
Some patched binaries and libs: View attachment patched_binaries.zip
Include wpa_supplicant with ad-hoc (not tested), vold with ntfs support (need to load kernel module first), ril libs with disabled check for modem model (for gsm only, not for cdma).

Flash all the files as per no:18 of the guide.. but use the ramdisk that comes with this package - dont use sMarkies at this stage - I flashed it to see if any difference but it only was for reading of the USBports.. the one with this package is stable enough
Your advice please have to use my pad on christmastrip for my kids so I cant risk to brick it

If you follow the guide, you should be right.
as usually people only brick on the U-boot flashing.
just take your time.
make sure you got the right files setup in IUW before you boot the pad..
then...boot-connect-flash...

best rom so far 4325
I am posting from this right now.
problems:
Wifi not starting on boot

Cell standby - fixed by renaming phone.apk
Market included but is missing skype and others

Anyone have advice on overclocking?
Thanks for the rom it is bad-ass.

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
Update 08.04.2013: 3G improvement

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?
Cheers,

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

B94M/B943 quad
Thank you everyone for your hard work and time. I have very little experience (twice with well established models)
I was wondering if someone could clean up the txt instruction translation so someone like me can avoid brick making. Even adding better detail would be sweet. I will copy below. Thanks in advance.

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?

This is a good budget device when compared to other devices from lead manufacturers like Samsung, Sony, LG or Huawei.
While searching on the internet I did find some Root & CWM installation methods.
I will be updating the relevant posts as and when needed.
You can look in the list below for what you want to do with your device.
ATTENTION!!! READ THIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend, there are two versions of this device in the market:
1. A706 (Chinese model)
2. A706_ROW (International Model)
The ROMs in this thread are only for the A706ROW model of this phone unless otherwise stated.
If you have the chinese model or another model A760 (which is a different model) then the ROMs in this thread are not for you.
Model A706 and A760 are two different models with almost same specifications. This DOES NOT mean that the ROMs of A706ROW are compatible with A760.
Please DO NOT confuse Lenovo A706 with Lenovo A760 as these are two different devices!!! Flash or experiment at your own risk!!!!
If you share a ROM link for any of the above devices, then please mention clearly the device for which the ROM can be used.
What to do with your Device ?

Read the instructions (click on SHOW to read) before attempting anything from the list below!
First you need to have the Android SDK installed on your computer. Or atleast you need to have the adb & fastboot files available on your computer.
Here's a good post that tells you how to setup ADB and fastboot.
Here's a post that has a list of adb/shell commands for noobs.
Ok, once you are done with the setup of ADB & fastboot on your computer, then you can proceed with the below instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE FLASHING:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, I have noticed that many people after buying the phone are flashing any firmware to their phones and most of the time without checking the phone versions and the OS versions. In the stock firmware post, I had mentioned that people having the Chinese version of the phone should NOT flash the ROW (international) firmware otherwise it would mess up their phone and network etc.
SOLUTION FOR SIM ERROR & DOWNGRADING TO CHINESE ROM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, some of the people have already done such a mistake and for those people (who are having SIM or network problems and want to go back to chinese ROM, I am sticking this post by danyno1 to the OP:

soloution for #2 problem:
Ok trying again to put my chinese device in ROW rom with sim signal, and found a solution:
1:Flash via droidboot a chinese stock firmware I used the 130325
2:Rooted device with vroot and installed CWM Recovery via ADB
3:In the procedure to install custom rom Qneon one of the steps is to flash boot.img via fastboot... well I just didn´t do this step and flashed directly Qneon_1.7.1.zip via CWM
4: Did data/factory reset, cache reset and dalvik cache reset
5:Reboot system
An Ready! Finally got my chinese device in spanish and sim signal.

CWM Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------------------
Make sure you have all the drivers for your phone installed on your computer. Download for A706 from here. Some other Qualcomm drivers (not sure if required)
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled, Install from Unknown Sources is enabled and device is detected in ADB run this command:
Code:
adb devices
Download the CWM Recovery for A706 from here.
Unzip the downloaded file to get a "recovery.img" recovery image file.
Press SHIFT key + Right mouse click in the folder where the file is located and select Open Command from Here.
Now, in the command prompt do the following:
a. Reboot into Bootloader mode. Use command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
b. Device will reboot and display Lenovo logo. (check if device is in bootloader mode by running command:
Code:
fastboot devices
. If you see a device connected then you have successfully rebooted into fastboot mode.
c. Now, run this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(This will flash the CWM recovery image to the device).
d. Once successful, reboot the device using this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
. Or, you can keep the power+vol up+ vol down buttons pressed to restart.​
If everything has gone well, this should get CWM installed on your device. Your device is still *not rooted*. Once you have installed CWM, please proceed to the ROOT instructions post to *root* your device.

On the root of the memory card, create a folder called "sdfuse".
Unzip the downloaded firmware, you will get a QSB file.
Copy the QSB file to the sdfuse folder that we created earlier on the root of SD card.
Note: Please make sure that your phone has atleast 60% power before attempting or beginning upgrade. Or keep charger connected during the process.

A menu will appear. Select the fourth option, SDUPDATE.
At the bottom of the screen, you can see the progress and status of the update
When you see the message "SDCARD UPDATE SUCCESS!!!", this means you successfully completed the upgrade process
Now, reboot your device and hopefully it should be updated.
That's it! If you guys have found any more firmware download links (even for different regions, build etc.) just share them with me along with details and I will add them to the list in this post.

scuderialoki, unfortunate that you got stuck. worked for me without any issues. i upped the same file that i used on mediafire. can you re-download the file and then check if the file is ok by extracting the zip using winrar or winzip? if it is ok then try flashing it again.

gr8techie thanks for the reply. i really appreciate it. just downloaded the flashable cwm however it's still the same bro. lemme tell you something though. i rooted the devices before using framaroot and everything is ok but i had to do a factory reset through the settings app in A706. i still see the superuser app in the system apps and i cant uninstall it. when i open the superuser app in the drawer it's giving me an error that the su binary is not installed and su cant install it.

ok, please tell me if you have CWM installed on your device? I believe it is not installed. if this is the case, then you need to flash CWM and then try installing the zip again.
if it is installed then, i believe the super su from previous rooting maybe causing the problem. check on Playstore for a method to unroot your device. or google it. then you need to root again. hope this solves your problem.

thanks
Hi bro thanks for the reply i attached a screenshot of my root validation. I used an app to identify that. And by the way my recovery is installed. I the super su app is killing it

MicroMax Canvas 4 Stock Rom Rocks Spice mi 535 Pinnacle PRO

Dear Friends,
I am porting MicroMAx Canvas 4 stock rom to Spice mi-535 Phone. One of the reader has expressed his wish and I just compiled from my sgtored data.
It is AROMO based and almost all credit goes to AntoBarre, whose rom was downloaded by me from the www.needrom.com site.
You find below some the screens shots.

}
The Rom is uploaded to Google Drive: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bz8Fgu4wkBnqQ3EwRUd4eXJraVk/edit?usp=sharing
Installaion procedure:
Please back up your previous ROM, Data and what all you wanted to save yourself in case if something goes wrong.
1. Download and copy the SPICE-MAX ROM .zip file to your external sdcard.
2. Wipe all data , system and catche
3. wipe dalvik catche
4. Install the ROM which you have down load and when it boots up wait for some seconds or one minute.
5. Now If you do not want wait more than 2 or 3 minutes you can remove the battery and re start your phone.
Then phone immediately will start with update screen.
This is pre rooted one
Enjoy.

Thanks for keeping my request. I am going to flash this ROM. Just curious. All the features of Canvas 4 is working? like blow to unlock?
Please list all the unique features in this rom. So that users will be motivated to flash this ROM.

1. After installing this rom go to storage and see the changes there.
Your external sdcard will become your internal sdcard. If you are using 64 GB, then the entire sdcard can be used as internal and if you are fond of games, it will be faster and there may not be any lack.
The external sdcard will show a storage close to 2GB only. Hence you have to delete the storage to getback your 16 GB internal storage.
Before deleting, be careful, and read belwo:
As internal and external sd card has changed its positions, some times, you may not notice your earlier internal sdcard after phone storage.
you simply save the contents of the internal sdcard ( that one displayed as external sd card - some time only about 2 GB satorage will be shown), either using ES file manager or after usb debugging, you store in your laptop/desktop.
Now Erase this storage, after copying if you need otherwise do not bother.
Do not erase your external sd card ( that is shown as internal sd card in the display)
Now you will get back your 16 GB internal storage.
Now you can use this to store your apps and data or you can store in your actual external sdcard.( which is shown as internal sdcard here).
You can register your SPICE 535 as CANVAS -4 and get the services from Micromax, if you want.
APEX settings is available to ease your operation and change what all you need as per its limit.
In my personal one I have also used Touchwiz.
Use Xposed Installer and gravity box and make your phone equivalant to any other so called top class phone.
I am yet to analyse the advantages over other ROMS. But this one I feel is better than the stock SPICE Mi-535.to my experience and taste.
The quality of photo is good as equal to Micromax 13 GP one.
If you meet with any problems please write here.

HOW TO CHANGE imei IN YOUR MAX OR SPICE
puduraja said:
Thanks
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Dear Reader,
I am getting questions about how to change IMEI and IMEI is invalid how to correct it.
Open ES explorer / Root explorer or any other tool and make your phone system to accept read and write. Norrnaly I use Android Root Tool kid. Open the tool kid and go to Remount option and in that make the System ----> read / write and (rootfs) read/ write. Also try to save your root.
I thought of using the reply channel to give the simple tutorial here.
1. Remove your battery and look at the scribes there. You will notice IMEI numbers there.
2. Just write down these numbers in a sheet. or store it in your system desktop.
3. You should have rooted phone.
4. Goto play store and install Mobileuncle MTK tool.
5. Open the mobile uncle tool and scroll to Engineering mode and click it.
6. Go to MTK section and click it.
7. You find Engineering mode pop up at the top and below it you notice the row with different section.
8. In that section you just slide and tap the connectivity section.
9. In the connectivity at the column below you touch CDS information
10.In the pop uo you tocuh the Radio information and you will get pbone 1 and below that phone 2.
11. Now you touch phone 1 and in the popup you touch the AT+
12. Once you touch the Key board will pop up. In the key board you type any single letter and cancel only the letter you have type.
13. Immediately you can notice the scribes that is required for you It looks like AT+EGMR=1,7""
14. you touch the first row and after 7 you can notice the simple "" and in that two inverted commas you delete one at the end.
15 after deleting that, just type the 15 degite number you have written down in the point no 2 here.
16. Verify your typed numbers and close the inverted commas "
17. Then touch the row which says SEND AT COMMAND
18. Once the pop up display indicates AT command successfully send.
It is all over for one of your sim, you have got the valid imei number.
Now repeat the same for phone 2.
This exercise is not required if you have saved your IMEI number using the same Mobile uncle tool. This tool has IMEI backup restore facility.
Just use that facility and back up your imei number not only in your mobile keep a copy some where in your laptop/ desktop.
If you have already saved and backed up there is no need for the above exercise.
thanks.

One Issue I have seen - Once you restart the phone, it forgets the accounts that are added except Google.
Every reboot, you have to enter password for FB.

Kindly go to settings and then to backup &reset. Tick both Back up my data and Automatic restore.

Note:
If you need I have a set of mixed S4,Xperia N9500 and Note 3 Roms cooked to suit the Spice Mi-535 and I am using it. Now and then some problems arises if you can be able to manage those minor corrections yourself then I can port this custom ROM that has partly Android 4.3 ROMs, 4.2.3 ROMS with basic Spice rom. It needs SPFT flashable nvram.bin to get stock network and Mac back again.

I got the J9110 from WondaMobile (hk) a couple weeks ago. Finally saw that the J8170's US firmware is out on Xperifirm, so I downloaded and flashed it. VoLTE works on Tmobile! Only downside is that 2nd sim isn't in the settings option, and unsure if it works. I use 1 sim + microsd card anyway.

It'd be best if you also flash the userdata.sin file. Since we're flashing a different variant, it'd be best to wipe everything clean. Taking out userdata will keep data intact.

Does anyone know if J8110 and J9110 share the same hardware? Guess I'm asking if it's possible to flash J9110 firmware on J8110 to get dual sim functionality?

They have the same hardware, except for the modem I'm guessing. You only have 1 IMEI number, so you won't be able to use the 2nd sim. You can flash the firmware, but 2nd sim most likely won't work.

May anyone confirm if Verizon is working on non-J8170 devices flashed to J8170? I got a J9110 and I'm thinking of flashing it to J8170 for Verizon support, but if it doesn't work for calls and text it will be useless : ( Thanks for any help!
