Hello dear XDA-developers,
I am thinking of buying a new phone, so i came across this phone called the "K-Touch Hornet II V9", it is a Chinees phone. and I couldn't find it on xda-developers.com.
So I was wondering if it is possible to have a Custom Rom installed on it.
Maybe to create my own Custom Rom with this toolbox:http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...stallation-with-android-ultimate-toolbox-pro/
I have a technical background so I guess this should be manageable for me to understand.
Anyways hope to get some reactions on this topic.
Cheers, and many thnxs in advanced,
DesireDroid
Ps.: I currently have a HTC Desire (classic) and rooted that one. and installed some custom roms on it. like the Leedroid custom rom:
Hello,
I am interesting in your request because i have the same device.
Could you tell me if you found anything about an alternative ROM for the "K-Touch Hornet II V9" ?
Regards
ROM found
I've found a ROM (Cyanogen 10.1) at the following web site (i can't post a link due to my too young status) : needrom (add www end dot com )
Then add the following path : /mobile/k-touch-v9-2/

Succelfully ROOT K-Touch V9
Hi, las nigth I rooted the Phone whis this tool www . srsroot.com
I have selected the First Root method.
and the program tried to root the phone whith several different tools, and in the process make the phone reboot several times...
In the final steps i was very nervous becouse the phone was rebooting in a loop like half and hour... The Root program in my PC were telling me to wait 1 minute after the phone boot and press ok in the win window after that.
1 time the phone stop looping the boot, so then i tried to unlock the screen to check... but once i didt it, the phone starts to reboot in a loop again.
So, the next time i saw the phone boot ok, i didnt unlock the screnn. I just wait ti finish the boot and press the ok button in my PC.
An then the root program tells me that the root its OK!! The program finished intalling the Superuser.apk... And thats all...
I download Root Checker.apk and verify the succes root after agree to the Superuser App to allow root privileges to the aplication...
I rebooted again the phone and I checked that the root in permanet..
So, by now is how far a can go...
Now I need to intall the CMW 6.0.1.1 to finally Flash a ROM in Spanish and after that intall Gapps from Google...
The same program that root the phone, can make it reboot in recovery mode whit CWM 6.0.1 but in chinese, anyway helping me whit another phone whit the same recovery in English i can go on whit the program and made a Backup of the rooted phone... but i think i am not safe this way flashing a new rom becouse if something go wrong i cannot boot again this mode if i dont boot the phone first in the normal way...
Could anybody help me whit that?
I almost forget, my version of android of my Ktouch V9 is 4.0 and with CN/EN Languages
I hope i did will be helpfull
Bye!

I found k touch stock and custom rom on http://www.ndroidzone.com/
Stock rom with occidental google apps that cam with the 2nd gen of V6888 (The one with no logo and with the back you can remove from top right)
No Root, no Recovery, but no chinese apps: just for prople who wants to restore the phone to a clean stock rom then you can easily root and add recovery.
I had to ask a seller for it, Pandawill has only the old one with tons of china apps and no european market.
The archive contains drivers with explanation, SP Flash Tools and the folder with the rom itself.
You must use "download" function since BOOT ini will remain the older one.
Apparently this firmware saved even my camera that didn't work before.
Be careful and, anyhow, you can find the older stock rom from Pandawill easily.
Here is the UbuntuOne Link
Hero V6888.rar
Mediafire Mirror:
Hero_V6888.rar
Hello
I have download Hero V6888.rar and extracted. but i dont understand how to restore this on my phone. Where may i find explanation to do it ?
If you did it, can you explain me how to do that, please ?
and please excuse my poor english.
Would help

Inside the rar you'll find the flash tool, just follow a tutorial to flash an MTK.
In a nutshell:
-open the SPFlashTool
-choose file->open scatter and select the scatter in the firmware folder (there is just one, you can't go wrong)
-connect the phone to the computer (Win only, sorry) without the battery, press Download, then Ok when he says boot.ini is missing
-insert the battery and the it will start flashing the firmware till you see a green circle.
Disconnect, boot, and here you are!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdUdHejJor4
here is a video of a full tutorial that consider even the driver setup, but you don't need it if you installed snappea or PDAnet , since the MTK driver are installed by those two software.
Or just google around for the MTK6577 drivers, maybe you can find them in a standalone installer.
If you have win 7/8 remember to allow the non signed driver installation (google is your friend here too...hehehe)
Thanks DioMOrgan
I have few questions:
Will this work on an already rooted phone? (more like do I have to skip any steps so as not to root it again?)
Does this install ENglish Play store (You mentioned Occidental but was not sure of which language it might contain)
WIl this also cure the satellite and GPS problmes reported elsewhwre?
Kindly guide me.
Thanks

Guys are Italian and I write a little bad English: I am in a serious fix, my V6888 is corrupted.
I followed the guide you provided, only that when I came out the inscription that is missing the BOOTIMG I have posted the file "uboot_bd86_77_emmc_v6888.bin" inside the folder of ROMS and I gave the OK. I have installed everything except that now the phone stops on initial Android logo and does not go ahead, it seems to go right. What can I do to recover? I tried to redo the flash without check of BOOTIMG, installed everything again but the phone does the same defect. How do I save it? Please help!!! Thank you all and have a nice day!!!

I solved it by installing Pandawull ROM first and then reinstalling this without BOOTIMG. Doing this everything was fine, now the phone works fine! Thanks all the same!!: Vittoria:

It deosnt allow me to go forward. I tried the volume down and power button and it just comes up with the factory page where you test the hardware and reboot.(Blue screen). Doesnt give me download OR recover options. Usually yellow/green.
Even the mtk 6577 drivers are difficult to load on WIndows XP sp3. (although it says downloaded successfully). When connecting this softbricked phone, nothing happens!
Any ideas and help please?
Thanks in advance

Followed the instruction and did everything like explained (enabled USB Debugging), but while the process is in action, I get the following message on my phone;
"Unfortunately, Payload has stopped."
On my PC I also get this error msg;
"_assert(stream.sgetn(static)cast<char *>(data), size) == size)"
The Cydia Impactor shows [stopping process].
Any idea what could be the cause for these errors to occur?
Thanks

I have an issue with 2 P4501's. The top few cm of the touchscreen registers taps, but doesnt correctly register tap & hold. Its like I release the touch immediately even though I keep my finger pressed down. Both my phones have the exact same issue, and its regardless of which app I run. Home screen, game or some touchscreen test app, they all do it.
Anyone else having this, and any chance for a fix?

Here we go.
Download all the above files.
1) Root your device with Root Genius (at time's it might take several attempts so do not give up)
2) as soon as you root, go to the playstore and install super su by chainfire. let super su take over the kingroot because i personaly feel Super Su give's the full root.
3) one's you have super user, open it and make sure its functioning.
4) now install MKT Droid tool and backup your NVRAM for which you got to install Vcom drivers to recognise the device. best OS is Win7 32bit to get things straight. incase if the device is not recognised, reboot your PC and try again.
5) One's MKT Tool recognises the device, install adbd on the mobile. it's a paid version. (you know how to get it)
6) open adbd it's in chinese. tik all the boxes in adbd and close.
7) now click on root button at the bottom of MKT Droid tools. it's initially in yellow color. untill it becomes green, you cannot backup NVRAM (this is your esf and imei which you are going to loose after flashing kitkat rom from different mobile brand)
8)after you succeed backup up the NVRam, you did the toughest job of all time.
9)now flash G750-T00 Rom with flash tools which you are going to find in the last link i've provided. search net how to flash with flash tool.
10) after flashing the base, you will loose the network. first thing you got to do is root your mobile with root genius. then install playstore. google for playstore apk. install playstore, sign in with your gmail id and install adbd again. (if you do not want to install play store you know the black way to do it.) one's you install the adbd, tik the boxes and go to MTK Droid tools to restore the NVRAM. which will bring back your network connections.
11) one's you get the network, flash the 251 base as per the last link provided. this one comes with many goodies like twrp, 3minit battery mode etc. one's you flash this base, go to backup and reset and factory reset your phone to gain access to GPRS. it will fix by itself.
12)reboot into twrp and flash gapps.
Enjoy the Rom. EMUI 3.0 is smooth and changing lockscreen wallpapers will blow your mind. over all the mobile drastically changes from mid-range experience to flasgship experience
there after you can flash any custom roms available on chinese site for T20
Hi @jacktackle, good day!
First of all, excuse me for asking noob questions. I'm new here and I really have limited knowledge about smartphones.
I just wanna ask if this would work on my phone? Will my phone be completely rooted? Because I tried several rooting softwares, and everytime I restart my phone I always lose my root access.
Again, sorry for my noob questions. I would really appreciate your help!

Here we go.
Download all the above files.
1) Root your device with Root Genius (at time's it might take several attempts so do not give up)
2) as soon as you root, go to the playstore and install super su by chainfire. let super su take over the kingroot because i personaly feel Super Su give's the full root.
3) one's you have super user, open it and make sure its functioning.
4) now install MKT Droid tool and backup your NVRAM for which you got to install Vcom drivers to recognise the device. best OS is Win7 32bit to get things straight. incase if the device is not recognised, reboot your PC and try again.
5) One's MKT Tool recognises the device, install adbd on the mobile. it's a paid version. (you know how to get it)
6) open adbd it's in chinese. tik all the boxes in adbd and close.
7) now click on root button at the bottom of MKT Droid tools. it's initially in yellow color. untill it becomes green, you cannot backup NVRAM (this is your esf and imei which you are going to loose after flashing kitkat rom from different mobile brand)
8)after you succeed backup up the NVRam, you did the toughest job of all time.
9)now flash G750-T00 Rom with flash tools which you are going to find in the last link i've provided. search net how to flash with flash tool.
10) after flashing the base, you will loose the network. first thing you got to do is root your mobile with root genius. then install playstore. google for playstore apk. install playstore, sign in with your gmail id and install adbd again.

PLEASE NOTE _ THREAD BEING ACTIVELY EDITED [email protected] _
SMART FIRST 6 V695 MTK6572(M)
(vodafone)
Unbrick - Restore - Custom Roms - Root & More
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY POSSIBLE DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE AS A RESULT OF FLASHING!
So, I bricked a vodafone smart first 6 trying to root it (latest update is unrootable at the moment - or a whole lot of messing about if it can be). So I managed to flash a rom and get it all working.
Vodafone do not release a rom for this model so its more or less impossible to unbrick or repair it without the below methods, this will basically turn the Vodafone Smart First 6 into a Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 4. Way better in my opinion as it has full official alcatel support for original firmware, root, custom recovery and custom roms. Dual sim also still supported.
So, your phone is a Smart First 6?, Right?. Well it's basically the same as an Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 4. So we flash the files for the pixi 3 4 and we can unbrick the phone, but then the phone will be a pixi 3 4. Hope that all makes sense!.
Vodafone Smart First 6 specs; GSMARENA
Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 4 specs; GSMARENA
Pixi 3 4 3014D is the firmware we are applying - btw the 4 in pixi 3 4 just means 4" as in screen size - pixi 3 4"
Specs are identical so we can can flash Pixi 3 4 rom onto a vodafone smart first 6. pixi 3 4 stock is definately alot better than the vodafone stock rom, then being able to flash custom roms, improving the device even more.
LINKS TO OTHER XDA THREADS IN RELATION TO THIS GUIDE
Below are links to related guides in xda that contain information regarding this device.
XDA thread by Menroid - whole lot of messing in my opinion and did not work for me - good thread all the same -
XDA thread by kirito9 - Alcatel OneTouch Pixi Thread - very useful, move onto this once you've finished with my thread I guess - stock & custom roms and root for the Pixi 3 4 (your new phone! . . . or your phones new firmware! . . . :silly:!)
Now . . . . . . .
Tools Required
SPFlash Tool, Rom, preloader and scatter file (all files for restore basically); MEGA LINK
(instructions are for this version of SPFlash Tool - do not use a newer version with this guide unless you do not need to follow the instructions)
Alcatel Mobile Upgrade Tool; MEGA LINK
Drivers
drivers can be found in this thread as VCOM, Micromax Drivers or use the PDANet link -THREAD LINK
Restore Device
(well . . . flash pixi 3 4 firmware to repair vodafone smart first 6)
- Install Drivers!!
- Download and unpack rom zip
- Start SPFlash Tool, select scatter-loading, load scatter file from rom folder
- Go to drop-down menu "Window", select "Write Memory", new tab appears
- Go to new tab, "Open Raw Data", open ROM_0 File, Select under "Memory setting" EMMC
- Edit the HEX address
- Begin address : 0x0000000000000000 , Container Length : 0x77500000
- Press "Write memory", connect powered off phone to cable, remember.....to flash with spflash tool.....take battery out and plug phone to pc via usb...flashing on this device is done without the battery in the phone....wait to finish
- After done, reconnect battery, check if phone power on
- If not, return to "Download" Tab, and flash just preloader
- Check if power on, and enter Recovery mode if so
- From recovery, do Wipe Data / Cache , then reboot
- Wait for first start, it takes longer time to boot.
- All done.
Now the device has Pixi 3 4" 4013D firmware.
This method has now flashed pixi 4" firmware and effectively made the phone into a pixi 3 4" model.
The flashed rom was a backup of a working rom so if you want full stock restore, go ahead and restore it with Alcatel Official Mobile Upgrade Tool. Remember the model is 4013 - needs selecting in Mobile Upgrade Tool.
Custom Roms, Custom Recovery (TWRP), Root & More . . .
Follow kirito9's thread and his thread links as linked above as you no longer have a Vodafone Smart First 6, it is now a Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 4" with 4013(D) firmware
ANY PROBLEMS? . . . - I'M HAPPY TO HELP

So, once we have done this how do we root?
Nice! There's no SPFlash in the rar? I used SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1344.0.212.rar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/tutor-how-to-root-star-g9000-galaxy-s5-t2913488 and the VCOM / Micromax Drivers - worked perfectly, thanks!

Hi. Once this is flashed root can be done with kingroot or follow the thread i have linked too for the pixi 3 4. Kirito9s thread he has full instructions for everything.

Hi. I will update file but yes..you got the right spflash tool. Glad i helped.
Head over too kirito9's thread and get the latest root twrp cuatom roms and more for the pixi 3 4
Kingroot wouldn't work for me (just caused a bootloop and had to start again). http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...4-official-t3193624/post65706654#post65706654 did the job, but as mentioned in the thread, I had to use "SP Flash Tool MOD (Gets rid of most errors)" from the first post of the thread.

EDIT: Ignore this for now, just seen http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...4-official-t3193624/post65706654#post65706654 (somehow missed that the first time), trying now.
I couldn't succeed with kingroot after the SPFlash stage. I have a stock 4013 from a VF695, but applying kingroot either via PC or apk results in a bootloop (wipes don't help) and I have to redo the SPFlash to get a working phone again. Strangely, when I connect the phone to the internet it says there is an update available, but that I can't apply it because the phone is rooted... but it isn't rooted for any apps that I try.
Any suggestions for rooting and then installing a custom recovery?

I used kingroot then flashed the recovery with flashify from the app store before rebooting.

For me, kingroot forced a reboot... guess you got lucky, but the other method above worked for me

Wasn't sure if it was rebooting or crashing for me tbh so disabled internet to stop it running updates while kingroot was working.

Hi. Kingroot works...if it reboots just start the app again when phone starts and you will see it carries on doing the root from the % it was at when it restarted phone.
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA-Developers mobile app
So, on to my next issue...
The "dirty" flash seems to be changing the built in MAC address for WiFi and BT to 3c:cb:7c:3f:cd:a6 and :a5 repetitively. Any idea where this is being set? I still have the original MACs, but I don't know if I can edit anything to change them back permanently?
I ended up editing /data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB/WIFI and then setting to read-only and it seems to have worked... now whether I should do that... who knows!

Hi. Im not sure tbh. The mac address' may change but I've not noticed any faults with it being changed. Wifi and bluetooth work on my flash as expected.

The problems come when you have more than one on the same network.
Nice!
Ehm nice to see an less hectic Guide for the Smart First! I made an Quick entry and exit when i found Kirito9's Thread
Rooting before was Hit and Miss and same for Recovery, but The Pixi thread made me dive deeper understanding more about MTK Devices....sweet!
Testing the 4G now
Keep up the good work & see ya around!
Ps. you can take my Thread link down, because there are more stable ways to do all that.
I will link your Thread via mine so people can be safer!

Hey Menroid, Glad I could help, your post helped but like we agree it is a little hit and miss, i got root but then it unroots on reboot. I will take link down for your thread and you link mine as yours still gets the hits and results at top on search sites like google, etc.
Keep up the contributions too mate.

Hi,
I flashed the memory using SP Flash Tool, and the green tick appeared so I guess it worked ok.
I then went to flash the preloader and I get the following error:
"4032 – BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI] Enable DRAM fail"
Here's a screenshot:
hxxp://i.imgur.com/9DW88qp.png
(swap the xx for tt)
The phone will not turn on or respond to anything, please help, thanks
EDIT: I've got the original firmware backed up, I tried to restore that using SP Flash and I get the same error, is there any way around this error?
suggest new vf695 do not use this way, my new vf695 use this one and dead, same message.
"4032 – BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI] Enable DRAM fail"
i try many ways but not recovery. only i can do, just use it as a hardware spare part.

I managed to fix mine, restored from the Backup I created in SP flash tool. It's not rooted but at least it's working.
If you want to fix your device try restoring your backup.
I had to flash from another PC in the end, SP flash can be rather insonsistent.
