I don't understand your question.
Is this about developing software, or a rom?
Three days and no update from OP.
Closing thread.
Hello!
I just bought an Chinese Android Phone Hero H6. I guess it's the cheapest Android Phone available (it sells for like US$120) and it has a MTK6516 chip.
I could root it using Universal Androot, but I'd like to take it to the next step:
use apps2sd or maybe update it to Froyo (I don't know if it's possible since it appears to have only 128MB RAM).
To install apps2sd I'd have to update the recovery, right?
Does anyone here has the same device so we can try to make it happen?
I'd be very grateful!
Thank you!

I Wont Lie To You, I'm Not Really Familiar With The Chinese Version, But I Do Have The Cdma Hero!!
You Should Be Able To Do The Same Thing As Me!! Don't See Why Not??
Try *Z4Root* For "Root", & Install
*Rom Manager* For "Recovery"
Also There's A App Called *Install- Manager* That Will Allow You To Move Apps From Phone Without Partitioning Your Sdcard!!
Hope This Helps!!

Go To My Posts! I Think I Posted A App Called "Z4Root"?
Anyway, Use That To Root Your Phone (May Take A Few Tries)
But Definitely Works!!!
Then Depending If You Have S-on You May Have To Download "Unrevoked-Forever" From The Unrevoked.com Website.
Next You Can Go To The Market & Install "ROM Manager" Open That App, Select Flash Recovery, Confirm, Then Go To Install From SdCard.
Select The Unrevoked-Forever Zip, (Make Sure It's Put On The Main Directory Of Your SdCard)
Next I Believe It Will Bring You To Your New Recovery Screen!!
*Note* Recovery Menu Can Be Accessed By Powering Off, Then Powering Back On While Holding Volume Down, Once The Phones On Press The Home Button To Get Into Recovery!
Hopefully This Helps!!
Any Other Questions,
PM Me.... I'll Help You Out!

Hi guys,
I recently bought a Chinese SuperPad and now I'm looking for a Chinese Android Phone. I am thinking of the H6, H9 or Star A3000. All use the same processor.
How are your experiences until now with your phones?

Hi there
I am looking for a recovery.img for my H6 (mtk6516) which gives me the 'update.zip' option when I start the phone in recovery mode. My recovery just shows a triangle with exclamation mark, no options. or am i doing something wrong? Can anyone post a recovery.img?
I appreciate any help!

here is the recovery for the h6.
i flashed it using the serial cable, but i am sure you can flash it using adb
megaupload.com/?d=TPYW1GT6
Thanks fat_fat!
i have the 2.2.1 udate by the way.. but its not a zi file!
I need the original firmware for H6, can somebody upload it?
Here is the driver for USB MT6516
megaupload.com/?d=DDRGAX32
So I tried fat_fats recovery.img for the H6, thanks again for the file.
it didn't work though. my screen just flashes in bright light and then the device reboots normally. i do have another revovery that gives me just an exclamation mark and no update.zip option. is there any other way or another recovery.img around to update the h6 from 2.1 to 2.2? any ideas? thanks!
hmm.. thats Odd.. maybe we don't have the same phone???
does your phone have 2 sim cards readers? you might have to life the black sticker under the battery.
the recovery i have, i flashed using a serial/usb cable.
i have the schamatics to build the cable and the flashing utility. I can upload when i get to my computer if you would like!
thats how i was able to update my phone.

Anyway, i have a similar problem but that's because i am trying it on win7 64bit. In fact, there's people reporting that it works on their win7 64bit. It seems to be different no matter what OS you are using.

I have a question for you. Did you just follow the O3D instructions and did you flash baseband? I'm also curious what your experience using the leaked gingerbread roms?

If that doesn't work either, try using the windows XP mode. You can get it for free on Microsoft.com just Google for it. That was the only way getting it to work on my win7. Only XP seemed to recognize the OMAP drivers and installed it. After several attempts it eventually worked.

If you install every single driver with administrator privileges (aka Run as Administrator) you won't face such problems.
What baseband did you use for your Thrill. Thats where I stopped, I wasn't sure if I should use one of the Euro ones, and which.
I am on W7x64 and doing the battery out SIM out thing worked for me. PC saw it and the LG Flash Tool looked like it was going to work. I just had second thougts about the baseband.

well i tried all of the above and i still cant get it to work,there needs to be a better tutorial on this thats explains step by step
Root your phone without unlocking the bootloader. How? A new application called UnlockRoot does it all for you! Literally, all you need to do is download the UnlockRoot.exe, run it and enjoy your new rooted device. I can confirm that it is 100% working and took about 2 minutes from start to finish.
All you have to do is connect to your computer, enable USB debugging which is accessible through Settings>applications>devlopment>USB debugging
open UnlockRoot.exe and click root, after that it should take the comp. 1 min tounlock then 1 min to reboot then voila you have it rooted! You will then see the superuser app inside your app drawer. I recommend you to download busybox and titanium backup to have full control on your device. I've just rooted my xperia play and my wife's arc s using this method. Both of them are running v2.3.4 so this should work on older android versions.
If there will be an instance wherein your device didn't reboot automatically,manually restart your device. :

Have fun
Please leave a comment if it worked for you and please mention the device that you're using.

My optimus 3D also not successful. After clicked root, it was running to check the mobile and a box popup (this version is not support your phone and tell us to wait for upgrade), something like that. My device is version 2.3.5 and V20c.
i finally rooted my xperia neo v through this method, i experienced errors before, unlockroot can't detect my phone so i tried to adjust some settings. first make sure you have pc companion for the mtp drivers so that your phone will be detected, some computers can't download the drivers if you don't install pc companion first. also make sure that you enable usb debugging and connect your phone via media transfer mode (MTP). you can adjust the connection mode in the notification bar when your phone is already connected in the pc, just slide it down and click the "change connectivity mode" you will find the connectivity settings there
I am not able to root my Micromax A75 mobile. Please assist.

Rezound not detected
I tried this on an HTC Rezound ADR6425LVW, Android 2.3.4 and it immediately fails on trying to recognize the phone. I get a dialog box with blank boxes where the name should be. This phone got the updated GB push from Verizon. Not sure if that is the problem, but so far this doesn't seem to work. Currently I am running this in a Windows XP VM under Mac/Fusion. Not sure if that makes a difference, because HTC Synch can see and identify the phone just fine. Any hints?

Hi,
Since ICS update I have been going insane with the speed of my phone, and today I saw my friends Desire HD running Jelly Bean and it was flying. So naturally I have spent the last 5 hours reading up on how to get it!
I'm an absolute noob with Android, this is my first android and I my other smart phones ran windows 5.5 and 6.5 so however buggy the new OS it can not beat them.
I am confused about a couple of things and I have found many many guides that go in circles. my HBOOTS 1.29
1. Do I need S-off or do I just need my device rooted?
I have found the following guides that seem the most effective:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
2. What is Flashing Firmware and why do I need to do it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
3. It seems the best ROM is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009
Are there anything better?
I don't care about looks, I want the usual phone features, speed, GPS, better battery life and bluetooth connectivity to my external Pressure Variometer (I use it for Paragliding). I don't care about issues with Wifi!
Many Thanks and sorry for repeating previous posts at times
You have 2 options. 1.) S-OFF your device, following the guide you linked. It opens up the whole phone, so after that you can do whatever you would like to. (Recommended)
2.) Unlock your bootloader through HTCDEV.COM website. (If you choose this, you can still install custom roms, but are unable to flash firmware/radio. For more info how to install custom roms with s-on see HERE)
Flashing the newest firmware is "always" an extra. They all come with stability/performance/radio... enhancement. ICS firmwares are 3.32 or 3.33. Whichever you have installed on your device, you are good to go as all recent ICS and Jelly Bean roms are working under both firmware. Some of them recommend 3.33 but are still working on 3.32. As far as I know 3.33 comes with newer radio...?
Rom-wise... It is really up to you what you are looking for and what you expect from your phone. Have a look around in the development section, there are plenty of custom roms/kernel about, either it is aosp/cm or sense based roms. They are all excellent and come with amazing support.
Have fun and good luck! :good:
edit: Have a look HERE too for some more info!
S-on/off
Is it possible to install a ROM on the phone with S-on and on the new rom later turn S-off if required. As I mentioned I'm new so I want to do one step at a time.

HTC Sync issue
Hi,
I have just tried to get started on the process of rooting from HTCDev however my phone is unable to connect to my PC. (not a great start I know )
I have installed HTC sync however it can not connect to my PC either. Would resetting my phone to factory settings sort the issue?

You do not need to do anything to your phone.
You need to have the correct drivers on your PC.
If you are on a windows 7 or 8 then use THESE DRIVERS

Make sure you are not using a USB hub or USB 3.0 connection.
Try different USB ports.(front and back)
Try a different PC/laptop.

4)Trun off ur device and boot into hboot...select fastboot and it 'll show bootloader and other options...

Great, thank you that seemed to have worked I'm going to now proceed with S-off and ROM installation. Will undoubtedly re-post again.
Just one more question, Do I need to delete/format the files off my SD card or not, I have backed up anything of value.
Also the network is not unlocked, would the network be unlocked with a new ROM?
