I got a THL W8 16gb yesterday and it arrived and I installed CWM designed for it and backed up the stock build and then proceeded to update to the gravitymod2 2.6 build for it. On this or the original build I cant seem to get any sim to connect to a network and sometimes even says error when looking for a network. Any ideas on what might be wrong or how to resolve it?
Love the phone itself
Hi,
I humbly ask for assistance on my issue.
To begin with I swapped my iphone5 for an s4 to join the android os, and sad to say the s4 provided was a clone.
Reality bites and I cannot undo the epic fail that has happened. So now I am trying to use this s4 clone.
Details:
- all the features of the s4 clone works okay when I got it, sim is being read and able to make calls and sms.
- it had a theme selector icon button, wherein if you click it, it allows you to select different themes to select and apply.
- i think it is rooted from the start
Problem started as follows:
- being the new user I applied factory reset on the phone via: settings-accounts-backup and reset-factory data reset(selected erase phone storage)-reset phone.
-phone reset did happen but problem is when phone restarted: the sim card is not being read by the phone, (sim management option is greyed out(via setting-mydevice)
-basically the phone is not reading the sim card
-tried changing sim card, I even brought the phone to a repairshop but told me they cant fix it because its a clone, but was advised it was not a hardware issue.
-repairman said the phone should be re-programmed, was advised that the sim card reader software probably got erased when the phone was factory reset.
-repairman also checked the IMEI and said that IMEI is okay (no problem)
-there is no problem with my sim since it works on my nokia phone.
Phone details:
Single sim (micro sim)

Hdc i9500 galaxy s4 layout (as per cpu identifier)
512mb ram

Wifi works
Compass works
Air gesture works only on home screen and apps screen
Please help me..I really want to enjoy the android os, I cannot get a real s4 now, given I wasted my iphone5 for a knockoff.
Hopefully someone can help me on how this s4 clone can read the sim again.
If you need any additional info for my device please tell me so I can help.
S4 clone
Please help.l
I have this phone and have not used this setting yet. I have a backup of my original so if something like this were to happen, I can just use that and get back to where I was.
Essentially, I think that you may have lost your root (or something) with the factory reset... Check if you are still rooted by downloading Root Checker by Joey Krim. It's free, and will tell you if you are rooted or not. If you aren't, then maybe the root is what made sure the sim card was readable...
Now, if you don't have a root, you can follow the instructions on this page: http://semayi.blogspot.com/2013/03/mxnec-m307-mt6577-rooting-and-back-up.html
For our phones, if it is "stock", the phone will read as rooted according to Root Checker. However, if you use the program stated in the article it will show a yellow box in the lower-right corner if rooted. The article states that box should be green if fully rooted. I also saw the Backup button grayed out because of this... I hit the "Root" button, and it fully rooted the phone after several minutes (maybe 10 or so). This allowed me to create a full backup of my phone (as well as create a custom recovery from a copy of that backup).
If you're still having issues, tell me any other things you've tried or any other details and we'll go from there.
samsung S4 clone problem
well i read your post and i have 2 phones with same situation as yours and phone is full functionally but no network and seen "emergency only "
so its clear its sim is not read or some problem with reading to sim ....
so if anyone have some idea to solve this issue please help us..........
thanks a lot......
basically, you need to re-write the IMEI's (should be behind the backcover under the battery) into your NVRAM. there are basically 2 ways of doing this:
generating the IMEI file manually or using MAUI META 3G, SN Write Tool or MTK Droid tools. the first 2 methods will hardwrite them to your device, so if you want to wipe again everything will work fine from start. last one will softwrite them and they got wiped again after a factory reset. for now, just download Droid tools, klick on imei something and enter your imeis. (device needs to be in debugging mode, check your settings for that)
Im having a similar problem can anyone help
Hi All,
Im experiencing the same issue as the original poster.. after lots of searching in a relieved to have found this thread. My Galaxy S4 Spark is showing "no sim card detected"..
Having checked my Imei number and it is different from that on the back sticker. I have tried using MTK Tools to change it to the original one which is 3573********29 every thing looks to be successful but when i reboot and check the imei using *(Hash)06(hash) it show my imei as 3573********28/01..
I have also tried changing it using the mobile uncle app with the same result.. Needless to say my phone is showing no sim.
IS this normal or should the IMEI be showing as exactly the same as on the sticker.
Thanks in advanced,
Jonathan.
what phone did i buy?
Hello guys,
A few weeks ago i bought a samsung s4 clone 1:1 copy.Last days ive been reading allot on the forums but as a noob i cant see the trees through the wood ...im stuck... i did manage to root my divice but only after trying 10 -20 times.I used mtk droid tools.
My question is if anyone can tell me if there are other roms for this Phone and what Phone did i buy.
I hope someone can help me out. thanks .
MT6577 DualCore 2x1 Ghz, Android ICS 4.0 (4.2.2 is fake), Kernel Version 3.0.13. Device maybe can identified as mtk77_cu_ics2, but there are maybe few other builds out there using this name. i would higly recommend to store your backup on a safe place, if you lose it while playing around with ROMs device may be bricked forever. i cannot link you to another ROM - you need to port them yourself if you don't find a working one. you can search and try different ROM's, needrom.com is a good way to go. before flashing anything, make sure you never replace preloader or DSP_BL in flashtool. that is, for now, all can say. you need to dig deeper into your firmware to get all needed informations.
Hello all and thanks for reading. I am hoping I can get some guidance and some sort of solution.
Long story short while in China I purchased a Y511-T00 instead of a Y511-U00. The first issue was upon returning home i realized I had no 3G. That I can live with using a MiFI device.
The problem I am facing is the Rom is laggy and it seems to be a half baked rom that was ported perhaps so the phone would be in english.
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn do not stay logged in when I restart.
Launcher sometimes freezes or goes blank for about 5-10 seconds
Contacts dont always show with a number immediately.
I am desperately in search of a Stock Rom with the regular Huawei Emotion UI or any other rom that may be more stable and user friendly. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Alternatively does anyone know if i can use the U00 firmware on a T00 phone? I am worried I may brick the device if I start doing trial and error.
My phone details are as follows
Model Number : HUAWEI Y511-T00 (China Mobile)
Android version : 4.2.2
Baseband version MOLY.WR8.W1319.MD.TG.MP.V4.P18 , 2013/07/31 15:37
Kernel Version 3.4.5
Build Number : Y511-U30V100R001C328B120
Hardware version : VER.A

Anyone have any idea? I tried using google launcher but it tells me that I already have a default launcher and yet in applications there is no default set and the button is greyed out.
anyone idea please?
have the same phone which is rooted & I know of some stock ROMs which can be flashed with HiSuite.
I am a bit confused about what ROM you are running now, is it modded ?
I'll take a look at the build number you have specified and see what matches.
This phone is very low end Huawei.
Curious: What is the Build date ? (at bottom of about phone)
Well I have a copy of this ROM on my PC & it matches the Build Number (see screenshot) of what I have on my phone now.
It's stock but contains root too, so I have read. However I actually have not flashed my phone with this ROM.
It runs OK, some system messages still show in Chinese, but those are rare.
I rooted mine via an alternate method, I plan to slowly do some more tweaks when I have time
The ROM is around 270 Mb & another chopped version down I have is about 180 Mb
I cant see why you cant get 3G network, I am in Mainland China and have no real issues here, hope it works in Australia when I visit there.
With root I am sure you could tweak this.
My HuaWei USB 3g USB card works fine in Oz & China.
The primary use of this phone for me is to supply my 10" Tab 3 with 3G via WiFi.
Solution finally
After about 12 hours or so of trying different rom's namely u30 rom's including custom roms like Lewa Os. i realised that everytime my baseband would come up as unknown.
I finally used HUAWEI-Y511-T00 flash with SP Flash Tool to flash a basic T00 rom with no bloatware whatsoever just the core android apps.
I then used ES File, Framaroot and the South African system.img . I extracted all of the APK files from the system.img from the U30 rom and copied them one by one setting permissions to read, write - read - read for each Apk. I did a dalvic wipe and a cache wipe and restarted.
The end result is I know have Google Apps (the ones that I wanted) running perfectly with sync etc across all apps and my china mobile Y511-T00 now behaves like a normal y511-U00.
Points to note, you will need to backup your NVRAM so you can restore your imei and mac ID to get rid of the Warning NVRAM error. You will also need to write your original IMEI back use MKTdroid tools.
Custom rom's will not work, but I have set google launcher as my launcher and removed the regular launcher which I am happy with.
What ever you do, make sure you make a back up. The only thing I have not fixed is the startup animation and logo which i can live with. For UMTS / 3G I am using a mifi device that gives me 8 hours on the go but i barely need 3g as i use wifi more than anyting at home and office.
@ZWstyles
Yeah nice you have it sorted.
Still surprised you cant make use of 3G network natively in the phone do you have any ideas on that ?
Hi every one
i need orginal rom for HTC E8 Dual Sim (M8sb) Version...
i installed this rom , my phone not boot anymore ...
Hi: I hope all seniors are good.
I'm also stuck in this situation.
Tried to update Marshmallow on my 100% working phone, which installed ok but I was not able to connect to wifi or sim networks.
I performed a factory reset (HBoot>Recovery>Wipe.......) and from then my phone doesn't pass the HTC logo screen.
it also shows the red message "this build is for development purpose only ......." under HTC logo and it never starts completely.
I have been trying to install all the ROMS available on this great website and others too but nothing suits my phone.
My phone is a: HTC One E8 Dual Sim | Model: 0PAJ210 M8Sb. I was using Android 4.2.2 on it earlier.

It acts like as if its drivers aint installed and am using a Chinese SIM. PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP
Download the stock rom for your device, double check the model, its probably a bad modem error, where your imei and baseband is null. Flash it and get back your device alive.
