Hello,
I'm looking for how to make an update.zip with this firmware Dapeng.
Or how to extract the system.img of this firmware above.
Thank you for your help and sorry for my BAD English !
I gathered all the conversations in XDA about the Dapeng A8500:
jayguruson said:
Dear XDA Noobs and Gurus,
U have this lousy DaPang Dpad which I want to flash, restore, re-rom and just redo. I have managed to completely unlock it and root it but the rom is not available to be backed up or restored. I checked out the root folders and no rom. I have scoured the web and this forum for valuable information but have come up short...
I am unable to get to fastboot mode or find a rom manager that works with it. IF I press the power button, volume rocker up and the menu button, it takes me to "Factory Mode" which has, "Full Test", "Item Test", "Test Report", "Clear Flash", "Version" and "Reboot". Nothing else. I cannot seem to find a restore screen or find a way to restore/flash the original rom or even a new one. I have done my homework around this issue and if there is someone out there that might help me here, great, if not, I will keep plugging away.
Thank you for any help (in advance). Oh and Happy Holidays (Merry Christmas)!

hey jayguruson if u press vol. up + power u will end up at the recovery mode, where u can flash / install 'update.zip' file. i tried to install DSP (equalizer) and uRevoke (some sort of custom recovery mode but were meant for a certain brand phone) but failed. it just stopped halfway. i also used titanium backup to save a backup file (update.zip..inside there is a META-INF and data files, is this the rom backup file?).

I finally decided to look at the datasheet after I couldn't find any useful info to overclock MT6516, & I don't think it can be done. MT6516's max speed is 416Mhz (not 460Mhz) and it's already set to run max speed by default. Even if we manage to configure the scaling governor, that would have been futile (unless you want underclocking )
It would be nice to hear opinions from the real experts here though.

i tried widget overclock. it shows 200+. am i right to assume that is the A8500 speed running. if that is the speed then it can be overclocked, probably to 400 or 500.
i also tried setcpu. it shows a reading of max speed about 500+ but it can't run, always FC.
my understanding is, if the stock rom can be re-packaged (hopefully with a customized 'kernel') and re-flashed back, then the rom will become a customized rom. and all overclock program will only works with a customized rom/kernel.

update zip file
here's the titanium backup update zip file for whoever can make use of it. i m not very sure if it is the original rom file. i created it with titanium backup pro.
http://www.4shared.com/folder/q7JWoBJX/_online.html
i m also not very sure of this upload file. 1st time doing this uploading. i can't upload with megaupload and a few other becos my country malaysia had blocked those sites. so i hope those who have files for sharing can also upload to 4share. tq
Hi cwkhong ,
to start thank you,but the files that are needed is not in the update.zip titanium.
If you want, I will explain how to quickly extract the whole system of Dapeng it's very easy because I need it urgently
1)you need rooted your Dapeng with z4root in Dapeng tools :
(after installed z4root,execute click on permanent root and after the Dapeng re-boot and you rooted)
2)you need install RootExplorer in Dapeng tools.
3)Open RootExplorer and copy the file system (for copy you need long press on the file)
4)open file sdcard in RootEplorer and past,wait for the copy
5) you upload the file system
(Have no fear, no personal data is in system)
There is another way to extract all: boot.img, system, recovery.
This method by the SDK is very interesting in the future if you want to manipulate the system Dapeng and see many other things.
I think I'll need (boot.img) to create an update.zip for recovery by the Dapeng and to provide a ROM for other people who have blocked their Dapeng A8500.
1)you need rooted your Dapeng with z4root here in Dapeng tools :
(after installed z4root,execute click on permanent root and after the Dapeng re-boot and you rooted)
2)you need install the SDK on your PC,just copy SDK file in C:/ :
3)you go in Dapeng and active "débogage USB"in Paramètres/applications/développement.
4)now you follow this tutorial :

ok here is the file (/system) that i copied, i hope this is the one. http://www.4shared.com/zip/Y6wSPyz6/system.html
r u going to create a custom rom? or u unpack, edit, repack and reflash? so that means after this the phone can be overclock?
maybe u teach me how to unpack and repack the rom. i want clean out all those bloatware/rubbish in the original rom to become a clean light rom.
what is the 'recovery-update.zip' file i found in ur Star tools? is that a custom recovery mode that will overide the stock one?
i really hope u can make it. good luck

Hi,
in the Dapeng tools there is a clockrecovery-update.zip, renamed update.zip, you copy your SD and get into the recovery to original flash update.zip.
Then to activate the button return to confirm press: Vol + and return to activate the confirmation button with return key.(insist if not work)
Now not need to sign update.zip for this clockrecovery but is tempory after re-boot not installed, look here:

speakers issue
hello there it's been awhile, any development?
anyway i wonder if there is a way to adjust the phone speakers setting, front and back. i find the sound loud but distorted, very high pitch near crackling. or maybe it is the speakers itself, poor quality. if so, is it possible to replace the speakers on my own without sending to phone shop. i have a few old phones with okay speaker quality.
that's it?
so nothing? it is frustrating to see improvements on those A1000,A2000,A3000..etc but nothing for A8500. guess i'll just use it as a phone, what a shame.
hi, i see you have updated the firmware to A8500 android 2.2 sucessfully.i just checked there is a upgrade version of A8500, called A8500+, it is android 2.3 with MTK6573, do you know whether your firmware can work in this phone?
2.3 update?
where is that a8500 2.3 update? my phone is mt6516. its different fr mt 6573 probably lower cpu. can u explain how to update?
Phone switch off when screen timed out

Android Ver.: 2.2.1
SW Ver.: 10YW1048MP
The phone goes off whenever the screen is timed out (say display time out at 30 seconds, then the phone shut off automatically after 30 seconds). Even, if I press the power off button to turn off the display, the phone goes off and never switched on pressing the power button. To switch on the phone, I have to re-insert the battery and then press the power on button.
Please advice me how to set the screen time out and power on problem. thanks.
Dapeng A8500+ MT6573 Bricked solid
Hi Bruno,
I happily used the phone for about seven months.
Everything was great until I installed ROM Tool Box, and as soon I installed some larger system font, the phone died instant death. I've tried flashing tools but, by using half a knowledge combined with even lesser:silly: patience, the result is that now I can't even get to the new Android boot logo. Here are the ROM details:
MS Board: e1103_v73_hjy1ctp
UBoot Ver.: 2010.06
Kernel Ver.:
2.6.35.7 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 PREEMPT Mon Mar 19 12:30:44 CST 2012

SW Ver. : ALPS.GB.FDD2.MP.V4.5
Custom Build : 1332139481.
I'm fully prepared to make a donation to enable you to carry on your great work for the community. One also must pay for the foolishness.
Best,
Lev.

Introduction
If you want to put root and TWRP on your device then you have to commit to this as there is no going back from Alcatel to Vodafone firmware after this unless someone uses the scatter file for this device to perform a readback (SP Flash Tool, search: Hovatek how to make a full backup of your stock ROM using sp flash tool, however, the dev blocks should be gathered straight from the scatter file, not MTK droid tools. Will update this if this happens it is successfully conducted by someone ) This little corner of XDA will show you how to:
Flash Alcatel Firmware
Install Custom Recovery (TWRP/CTR)
Root with SuperSU
Install one custom ROM (Cyanogen MOD 13)
NOTE: I will NOT teach you how to install drivers if you need to do that go to https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-440.html (If you are running Windows 7 and up you need to disable 'Driver Signature Verification', this link will show you how to do it: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-752.html
If you can't figure out how to that by yourself (everything is a google search away) then you shouldn't even attempt any of this.
All files will be on AndroidFileHost
If you want to download all the files for all the tutorials, then you can download the complete package which has everything required for the tutorials (except for drivers of course)

I have questions......
Since Google keeps crashing me out of apps and breaking my brightness control to send me ads and try to get me to install experimental zombies this past month, I'm keen to try this on my VFD501 Vodafone Smart Turbo 7 but.....
Does the initial step have to be Alcatel? I only ask because my SIM is 2 Degrees and I don't know if it'll work with it as it's a bit sketchy while it's still thinking it's a Vodafone.
Is the second step the ONLY rom it'll work with? How far can the hardware be pushed or more efficient?
Lastly, would I still be able to get updates for the usual app suspects? I'm getting further into Minecraft now there's online server games and I'm not finding any options for updates other than through the Play Store. I also watch quite a bit of YouTube on it (another Google aquisition). Would these be denied me by the EvilCorp™ once I free my phone from it's clutches and get rid of Google Movies, Google Mail, Google other bloatware aside from Books where I have several and would like to keep reading them?
HIe, when can we get the custom rom.looks great.
Do you still have the mixed Spanish English rom?
Could you post that please if you still have it? When i installed the cyanogenmod after flashing to alcatel after locking the screen and turning it on again it won't render properly anymore, i just see random lines. Thank you in anticipation!
guys, please can anyone make a backup (TWRP)of stock ROM with /system /data /FRP /protect /boot ? with any google account please.
i want to unlock FRP on my vfd500, i gorgot my google account on this phone so i cant go pass setup wizzard, thanks

So far you have to flash Alcatel to do any modding whatsoever, however, I may have a solution so we can get root on VFD 500 running Vodafone stock but not VFD 501 (however I'm begging my friend to borrow his to do a Miracle Box Backup so fingers crossed :silly: so I can get the 501 version of the Vodafone OS) if the solution works I will release a video on it, if you want to know if you have to flash Alcatel for custom ROMs yes you need Alcatel for the ROMs there is currently no ROMs for this device, and I don't know how to make and edit ROMs just gonna put that out their

Solved now using this rom and instructions.
Can't post links so google - Download Vodafone Stock Rom for all models - Android MTK and look for VFD500 in the list
The driver tool uninstalled lots of drivers i think this may have helped it use the "MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port" which allowed it to write to the phone. Took about 10-15 mins to boot afterwards, I thought it was stuck but just a slow phone

Hi!
I get a Vodafone_Smart_Turbo_7_VFD500 phone bricked and was very dificult to find a working rom, there are a few that boot but after locking the phone screen goes mad...
I fixed a RR rom, still not perfect but is better.
One kwon issue is charging with phone off, screen stays white and on...
I Let here a link with:

Vodafone_Smart_Turbo_7_VFD500_MT6735M_V2.39.1_21122016_6.0 ROM to flash with SP Tool
open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20191029.zip
RR-N-v5.8.5-PIXI4_5_4G.zip (Fixed) Rom
TWRP3.0.2-0_VDF500.img Recovey (Use SP Tool with MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt from Vodafone ROM to flash it)
To use SP tool, first install the drivers then open SP tool, search for MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt file. To install full Vodafone ROM click in Download only and select Format All + Download then Download key above and plug USB, to install TWRP unselect all and only select recovery and click in location field, search for TWRP, click in download from above and plug USB ( If faild with error you need to flash all Vodafone ROM first).
After all this, use TWRP to flash RR Rom then Gapps.
