I have purchased a Chinese HDC Galaxy S5 G9000. It is a dual sim. From the start only face camera works. The first sim card is recognized by cannot place a call with it. When calling it does not dial and then hangs off.
I contacted the Technical service of the company which sold me the phone, and directed me to update ROM and flash tool. Unfortunately their flash tool works only with Windows (which I don't have), and everything is Chinese (which I don't know). I have tried to update the ROM using recovery. In the menu there is an option to update from sdcard. When I use that option and select the new ROM it starts "updating" but after a few seconds I get the message "updating (or operation, not very sure) aborted".
I have tried with ADB (on Ubuntu 12.04). I have succeeded in rooting the phone using fastboot. I have also managed to flash boot.img. But when trying to flash System.img, it takes hours, and at the end I get the message "Failed.... can't find device" or similar. And here I cannot see the device until I remove the phone from the computer and put it again.
I have also tried to update the ROM using ROM manager. But I get the same message: "operation aborted"
Can any one help
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Flashing from recovery is generally not an option
SPFlash tool is available for Linux - I can't post a link but check the forums (thread 2650125) or google it up.
There are heaps of stock and custom RoM's over at needrom dot com .. and most of these have great instructions on how to flash for this phone - Just search for G9000.
Good Luck

try version 3 first the universal one. then you can play with the others by updating through stock recovery. i bet you have a dual core one. press vol down , ok and power button at the same time on boot and go to version. if it says MAUI on the list then we have the same clone

Try to read the chinacarts website because you download the one for quadcore micro_sim_s3_quadcore_dualcore_firmware_20130107 the link i provided you is the the one that worked for me.
Version 3:

i also have issue with my s3 clone mtk6577... its no longer turning on after trying to odex it.. tried to flash the firmware and thats when the phone no longer turning on.. please help me.. im trying to flash it again using the flash tool but stuck in 0% what do i need to do?
I have the same problem. S3 micro sim clone MTK6589, new firmware tried (chinaecarts.com/s3firmware20130320.rar ), then the phone not booting.
I just contacted with Chinaecarts.com, they tried to solve the problem but not working.
Also tried with the universal firmware, but it sad I've MTK6577 phone, not MTK6575.
If I will have fresh news, will post it.
(seller said, I should send the phone back, and they will fix it.)
I tried with this:
H.tps://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4AdByfaH4T0TjVjc2w0OXVqQUE
It is theoretically for the MTK6577 and MTK6589 as well. Got the previous result: "Platform error. The target platform is MT6577_S00."
I think there is a solution for the blank screen problem:
- need a Flash Tool. (on the link above you can find it, or on the link in my previous post)
- need a firmware for MTK6577 micro sim card.
I tried with many sdcard firmware versions, but no effective result.
Hi,
1, You need to know what is exact model of your s3 mtk6577. There are many s3 mtk6577 models in the market. Different s3 mtk6577 is made by different manufacturer, so the ROM is definitely different.
2. After you get the right ROM, then flash your phone by using flash tool SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject
Bricked MTK6577
The image of the S3-micro-sim-version-20121210 this with corronpidos files, and the method that you should have done to retrieve your appliance was using the recover instead of SP tools because the files are not in rar. SP standard my phone so can enter META mode and nothing more.

It looks I have the exact model of yours. I am trying to update the firmware by entering the recovery (I suppose it is {vol up + power}). But my external sdcard is not mounted to pick the rom from.
I hope this may help you? I had the same problems as you with the same phone after rooting it I deleted the original rom as it went into a loop and would not start so I started installing every firmware I can find and install, I got one which works BUT! no English , it boots English then goes into several languages but not English it is HDCI9300 rom. I googled it as no one seems able or do not want to help although I have asked several times in many different ways. I hope this will get your phone at least to boot up, I used sp flash as this rom will not let you do anything with the sd card (if it does you need to translate one of the languages)? I hope this helps, if not you have lost nothing:fingers-crossed:
Hello. I have a similar problem with yours. A friend of mine has a 100% visual clone (MTK6577) with the same sticker under the battery like in the first post, he tried to flash it, but he messed up something, and then he brought it to me completely DEAD . No charging, no PC connection - nothing... I tried many button combos, and accidentally i found out that if i connect the phone without battery, press and hold VOL+, VOL- & POWER for a few seconds, the PC detected the mediatek com port , installed the drivers without problem, and now the real problems begins - the ROM. I tried all of the roms from chinaecarts but without success, first i couldn't flash the thing, and after downloading several roms from chinaecarts, and finally flashed it and guess what - no LCD :silly: . So i tried combining different files from different roms, and now i'm at a point where i can turn on the phone, screen goes white, but the phone boots, it makes the vibration after the boot process completes, and after that the phone is responding to touches (it vibrates), lock/unlock works, PC detects USB Mass Storage Device, USB Composite Device and MTK65xx Android Phone. I also noticed that in the FW packages i downloaded there are some files that aren't flashed (i think) like for example the kernel.img so i was wondering if i can flash it manually? Please someone help, share some FW links, i can't find anymore...
can anyone help with this?? or even identify which s3 clone the phone is from the first post... i have tried many "solutions" for clone 6577 and NONE works.. I have scoured the internet for possible solutions and nothing..

Hi guys, I bought the above phone off Amazon. I found out this very strange device also had a root-enabled kernel out of the box, but my question is about recovery. I want to install CWM as a first choice, if not that, TWRP, but a Google search only tuns up loose references to MTK6589 which is presumably the SoC, but nothing for my specific model. Currently when I reboot to recovery with any root app it shows 'no command' (maybe there is no recovery installed to the recovery partition?) and when entering bootloader mode the device displays what is seen in the attached photo.
I would appreciate any help on getting a working recovery set up on this device.
Thanks!

Hi, I also have one of these phones and have been looking at recovery options with little success.
However I have found a set of instructions in the XDA University about porting CWM. (unfortunalty I can't post a link due to being a Noob, but if you Google 'porting cwm' it should be the top result).
I am going to be attempting to do this once I have got my PC set up dual boot for Linux.
Will post back with news on how it's going. Would appreciate any progress you have made about a recovery option.
Regards
Mad.
first, make a backup of your device using mtk droid tools.
if phone isn`t rooted yet, use this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332783
for the recovery, you need to unpack your recovery.img, take the kernel zImage and put it in the cwm-recovery. for mt6589 phones, this one should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357875
you can unpack/repack your boot.img with this tools:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587411
after obtaining new recovery.img, flash it through SP flash tool or mobileuncle tools.
Recovery Quirk
Chrizzly, thanks for the pointers, will be checking out the tools tonight.
Found a quirk though, may just be my phone.
I booted into recovery last night and as expected the "no commands" came up, but then I took the back off the phone and a recovery menu appeared. Had options in there like reboot, delete cache, delete delvik cache....
I'm assuming this is the stock recovery.
I tested it again this morning and booting into recovery and then taking the back off the phone made the menu appear!!
Any one else care to test and see if it's a stock thing or just a quirk of my phone.
replied before, my post disappeared.. this isn`t related to your device , this is recovery-typical. it is showing the android first, without a menu. you need to press hardware buttons, to get into the menu( this is device-specific, you need to try that, also buttons on the touch screen, if there are some) this will usually bring you in recovery MENU. think you accidently pressed one of these buttons while opening the device.

Re: Stock recovery. Thought it was a button press that got me in first time but I tried it several times and no button worked just pulling the back off. Little puzzled about that but it's something I can live with!!

Re: Files. Thanks for the files, going to try them out as soon as I can!!
Done
I have got CWM working on my i9389 now, there was a few quirks in getting it going.
The method I used was as posted in the MTK Droid Root & Tools thread by rua1.
TIPS
Leave the battery out when doing read back or flash in Flash Tools.
Not mentioned in the instruction is the MTK vcom drivers which you will need and can be found in the Root tutorial posted by Chrizzly a bit further up.
Make sure you read the instructions by rua1 closely and use the images posted as it's not always straight forward.
Last tip pay attention to where MTK tools puts the files it creates, had me stumped for a bit!! I've never been very good at following instructions!!

I managed to boot loop mine while messing with a ROM I made (it's not finished yet) but managed to recover by re-flashing using the Flash Tools a back up I had taken just after installing CWM.
Do you have a back up you can flash?
I have just checked mine and even zipped it's still 800MB so I can't email it to you...
...sure if I looked about I could find somewhere to upload it to for you. PM me if you need this!!

Hello
I have an android device brand imobile model iq 6.6 when i purchased it and used it for about an hour it started misbehaving by opening apps automatically like browser, wifi,data. i tried to root this device to remove such annoying built in apps and after removing two to three apps i was using fb and device suddenly switched off i tried to turn on but it couldn't turn on it stucks on boot logo and restarts again and again.
I downloaded official rom both in sd update and through cable but i m not succeeded to install. When i try to install through sd card update it starts installation but after some times it gives som error and installation is aborted.
I also tried to install through smart phone upgrade tool but no success when i press volume up and down buttons and connect it to pc it restarts again and again so the process couldn't be started. I also tried sp flash tool but there is no scatter file inside downloaded rom so that process is also fail and thus im not able to recover my phone please help me.
Thanks developers.

Hello there !
Friend of mine gave me a tablet, which freezes on a MEDIATEK logo.
There is no information about model, the owner sends me via viber some images of a web site with useless information, i don't know if it is true.
The info is: CPU MTK 6796 10 Core, ram 6 gb, rom 128 gb, OS:Android 8.0, res. 2560*1600 pixel, etc...
I can enter into recovery mode, it says ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.10.
there is options apply update from ADB, sdcard, etc...
I have tried wiping and factory reset, apply update from sdcard too, but no success (adb returns error message, go to update systems and after that immediately something wrong and error message).
Can anyone help ?
Re-flash tablet's Stock ROM.
I don't have any ROM, this is why I am searching help
Request it from manufacturer if you can't find it in Internet.
This is the problem - I don't know any information about the tablet, no manufacturer, no model.
Is there any custom ROM I can use or only PRELOADER fix ?
Maybe you can get more information by getting the vendors (boot)-image and peeking inside it; if you can get inside fastboot-mode.
You can get it by "fastboot fetch vendor_boot <out.img>""
Then do the mapping (http://www.microhowto.info/howto/mount_a_partition_located_inside_a_file_or_logical_volume.html) and mounting it.
