[Celkon A200] Jelly Bean update using Star Mobile Astra Firmware and rooting

Try this at your own risk. I am not a developer, so I can't help you if you brick your phone
All the Credit goes to the original developers in the links shared below.
I found a guide on the net for upgrading Star Mobile Astra to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 with Kernel 3.4.0 and tried it successfully to get JB on my Celkon A200. I have also replaced the recovery image and put TWRP recovery image before flashing.

}
improvements that I noticed after the update are there.
- Considerable improvement in performance
- GPS connection time has improved drastically (connected within a minute where as it used to take >5 mins)
- WiFi connection time improved slightly
- FW upgrade using Wireless option added (There was one minor update which V24 got downloaded. As I had changed the recovery image the upgrade did not happen) [EDIT: It worked with stock recovery image]
Cons
- As expected your phone becomes Starmobile ASTRA, not Celkon anymore
- Status bar cannot be pulled down unless the screen is unlocked
- Few Bloatware targeted to Philippines market
How To:
Follows the steps explained here: http://www.techbloggerzone.com/2013/06/how-to-update-starmobile-astra-to-android-4-1-jelly-bean.html, if you don't want to change the default recovery image.
(There is slight chance that using ASTRA recovery image MAY brick your device, but I have also used ASTRA recovery image also successfully on Celkon A200).
Replacing recovery image to TWRP
1) Download TWRP rcovery image from http://content.wuala.com/contents/ja...3.2.3.img?dl=1
2) Download Starmobile Astra Jellybean files from https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1tFliTP64sUSHhDWEp2NWw1TjA/edit?pli=1 (it is ~530Mb)
3) Download and unzip the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119 from the downloaded file from Step 2. In the extracted folder go to...\SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119\V23\image folder and delete recovery.img file. Copy recoveryTW2.3.2.3.img file from the earlier download. Double click on Checksum_generate.exe to update the checksum. Now you have TWRP in your JB flash file.
Flashing Jellybean ROM
Now follow the instruction exactly as provided here http://www.techbloggerzone.com/2013/06/how-to-update-starmobile-astra-to-android-4-1-jelly-bean.html and your Celkon A200 is updated to Jelly Bean and you have a Starmobile ASTRA phone working for you.
Rooting Guide for ASTRA Jelly Bean
Download these 2 zip files supersu apk.zip (http://d-h.st/SPA ) and su_bin.zip*(http://d-h.st/kMS ).
Copy it on your SDcard
Reboot to TWRP (volumeup + power button)
Install > zip file from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > Select supersu_apk.zip and su_bin.zip
Install
Reboot and your phone now is rooted.

Do you have the original IMEI number with you? Did it change after flashing? I think you may be able to flash the original IMEI number wth Flash tool. Haven't tried it so far...

Only need to extract the folder from the zip to desktop and execute G6SKnife.exe, read the options.
The phone must be ON like normally you use it, plug USB and choose MTP connection and turn debug mode ON.
Start with the ( 0 ) options and if don't work go to the ( f ) option to see what you need to do.
The Java checkup is because need it for the deodex tool.
I can't try the Bootloader unlock option because im already unlocked, if any one try it, please, tell if works.

Which version of kinguser did you try?
Go to Facebook group page and download the kinguser.zip from there. For me it always works on g6-l11 and u-10

It's the same kinguser 3.4.0

Thanx for this one, but bootloader unlock isn't working. You have to have a code, I don't have one, so it says 'invalid key'. No i'm back stuck in fastboot mode where it says 'recovery image verify failed' followed by 'please updat to the authorised images'. So, this is not going well, dunno what to do...

File not found

Could you please provide me a working one?
Thanks

Homtom HT37, MT6580 cannot ROOT, cannot unlock bootloader

Hello
I am having an issue with my Homtom HT37 device which I want to flash with a custom rom because the default one is full with spyware and viruses of all sorts. I did some flashing with SP tool but the roms I tested were not compatible and the device was soft bricked. Fortunately I found the original stock rom together with scatter file and flashed to the original rom.
My question is that I am not able to boot to bootloader (through adb commands or button combination) because the device keeps booting to normal mode.
I also tried also to use mtkdroidtool (to root) but I am not able to root, unlock bootloader or anything.
I get the below screens when using mtkdroidtool:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have seen on many other posts but always I am stuck on the adb reboot bootloader point
Can you give me some clues how can I root HT37 or flash it with some compatible custom rom?
Phone specs: Homtom HT37, MT6580, Android 6.0, Build ID: HOMTOM-P516-HT37-Android_6.0-V01-20170510
Thanks in advance,
Enid

Can you upload your stock recovery and scatter file .... i can try and port a twrp for you.

Hi,
I don't know if I can post a url link here, but I downloaded the official stock rom of H37 including scatter file from here:
h t t p s : // drive.google.com /file/ d/ 0B16vGQMnirEfZFViRjdIMzhRaTg/ view
p.s I entered some spaces on the url

I managed to find a link (from a youtube video) which worked and downloaded the correct TWRP image for Homtom HT37
Homtom recovery image HT37
ALL NECESSARY FILES drive .google . com / open?id=0B4t5Czq54qaxWG1ueUR0R3kwU3M
------------------------------------------------
ALL NECESSARY FILES FOR HT37 PRO VERSION drive .google . com/ open?id=0B4t5Czq54qaxNm5CSHJQMXI2aTA
Now I am able to install custom roms and I tested some of them but all had issues, some didn't boot at all while some other had crashing apps issues:
Roms downloaded from: getdroidtips . com /custom-rom-homtom-ht37/
- Resurrection Remix (821) keeps showing everytime android.process.media keeps stopping, google play services stopped working and reboots without reason.
- LineageOS 13 (doesn't boot at all)
- MIUI 8.1.1 (doesn't boot at all)
- Flyme OS6 (doesn't boot at all)
Do you have any suggestion for a compatible ROM for Homtom HT37?
Thanks
