[CUSTOM ROM][SPREADTRUM SC6820] NovaDroid v1.0.0 BETA1 for GT-I9300

Welcome to NovaDroid for GT-I9300​ A Spreadtrum Phone Rom​
​
~Introduction~
I created the custom ROM because there are absolutely none for Spreadtrum phones.This Rom was designed to
make your phone faster and easier to use and give you a little more space to run wild with android. Its also much faster than the
stock ROM and all the Chinese apps have been removed. I also have ported the GOOGLE PLAY MARKET!!! :victory:
This is a BETA ROM and it still has a lot of work to be done on it and more versions are soon to come! If you really liked this ROM,
Support me so i can make more stuff ( Nah jk do whatever ya want )
~Disclaimer~ [READ FIRST!!!]
Use only for this model! Check the Build.Prop in the attachments to make sure its the same as yours!
Make sure you backup ALL your data before doing this and its probably a good idea to do a full backup. I am not
in ANY way responsible to ANY harm that comes to your phone. I have personally tested this ROM but like I said
it is still in beta mode.This ROM also can not yet do a factory reset.If you do it will go into a boot loop.

Looks like you did it right so far! Try keeping your phone disconnected untill the last moment (after you press the start button) .
Then take the battery out of your phone wait 5 sec and put it back in. Hold the volume UP button while you connect it to your
computer (dont let go) (Also you should have already pressed the start button before this). If it starts to download you can let
go of the volume up. Tell me how it works for you :good:

I noticed that without 'nvitem.bin' ResearchDownload doesn't work. It gives error without this file. I used one random pac file and it started downloading but failed after FDL2 file. Particulars of my handset are given below:
Model - Callbar A1
Android - 2.3.5
Kernal Version – 2.6.35.7
Software version – 2.3.001.P1.12065
Hardware version – P1
CPU – SC6820 (1 Ghz.)
Screen – 3.5” HVGA
At the moment I ve lost both Fastboot and CWM Modes. Unfortunately I formatted boot partition and thereafter I lost both modes.

Could be that you have the wrong FDL files for you device. There is a simple solution to finding out which ones works for your phone.
Download this . Then try to flash FDL1 and a FDL2 and see if it works. If not go the to next FDL2 and so on until you find one that works.
Then use those.

I'm not sure about these specs as they don't go into enough depth for me to really see what phone you have. A build.prop will do if you
have a backup of it.

Please give link to FDL files. There is none in your reply. Any way, what are FDL files??? What they tell ResearchDownload to do???
I had taken backup of build.prop earlier but at the moment I am unable to locate it on my PC. I cleaned my PC few days back and removed all junk...!!!
This mobile is made by WingTech....

Oh sorry haha here you go.http://www.mediafire.com/download/c6q2gxobccv32oj/FDL+Files.7z .
One of these are bound to work. Its a archive of nearly every FDL file avalible. I'm actually not quite sure what they do.
I think they must be some sort of preloader for the phone or something.
Also have you made a backup? Its very important.

I am new to Android. Flashed CWM. Phone rebooted. Then I went to CWM for backup. It refused to mount sdcard. I changed the card but same result. I flashed another CWM. Phone rebooted. Again went to CWM... it was working although inverted screen. As sdcard had low spaced. I again rebooted phone to take out my data from sdcard through PC. At that time I also uninstalled some apps. After making enough room on sdcard, I rebooted phone but it didn't.
Then I went into CWM mode and being noob formatted boot partition and Voila 'Phone is DEAD'. I ve boot image available with me which works a bit.... BUT how can I flash it again without fastboot mode. Its simply not powering up becuase all data for booting phone has lost due to formatting of boot partition.
Can you guide me how to flash boot.img on dead phone without fastboot mode??? Atleast it will give it some life... May be not fully working but atleast I can get Fastboot and CWM Modes.

Well flashing a boot image may not give it a cwm recovery because in spreadtrum recovery has its own img.
Also flashing this rom may not work for your phone because it could be a different phone. You can email me
and [email protected] so i can help you .

I know there is 'Recovery' Partition in Android. The Stock Recovery has already been flashed by CWM Recovery. But What went wrong... I only formatted boot partition then why it stopped booting into CWM, if it has nothing to do with boot partition.
I am mailing you. Check ur mail.

Millions of Thanks to Company's Sales Head Officer in my country to whom I talked on Mobile. He was kind enough to spare his precious time and guided me to download StockRom and flash it properly. Without naming him on this public portal, I would like to tell that he is Great Person.
There are 3 Stock ROMs for Models CallBar A1, CallBar A2 and CallBar Tab7 available under the Modem Driver Download Section. The Rar File includes all tools and software required for flashing.

[Completed] HELP: Phone boots to reset mode: manual dump

Good day,
I have a cherry mobile flare s3 lite (spreadtrum SC8830)..the issue started after flashing my device using the upgrade download tool..It's happening on any rom that I flash on my device. After performing any task on CWM then hitting on reboot, it goes to a screen displaying this message.....
Sysdumpping now, keep power on
Reset mode: manual dump
writing 0x1000 bytes to sd file sysdump.core.00
after waiting for it to finish writing, it would ask me to press any key then it goes another screen saying "android is updating" and it would take again a couple of minutes for it to finish..I tried performing "erase flash" on my unit using the upgrade download tool then reflashing a rom / stock rom but same deal..I hope that this issue can still be resolved.

Official Marshmallow 6.0 OTA for canadian xt1563 (telus, koodo, public mobile...)

Marshmallow OTA for canadian xt1563 : https://mega.nz/#!1pxWiSIS!u279kerhsu1HspzFZ4-wrzYfWgtSUqb3o8K8ffLw4lM
For the procedure, look down. Someone posted it on 1st page.
If you altered system ( ex:root) you'll need to go back to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62708260&postcount=5
Root (optional)
TWRP recovery (after applying the OTA) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-t3194656
The correct SuperSU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125

The X Play is actually XT1563. This firmware is for the Moto G.
Update: the above statement is wrong. I can confirm this update is running perfectly on my Koodo X Play!

Click to collapse
Yeah, but the file listed on mega has lux_retca in its name. Moto X Play is codenamed as Lux, so maybe it is in fact the right file for XT1563? Maybe, it was just an error from poster MerlinMerlinMerlin?

Hmm... I have a Koodo X Play and just checked for the OTA and it wasn't available for me yet, but that has me wondering now. I don't wanna risk it until I'm sure though. Hopefully this means the OTA is out soon though.

Oops! I messed up the title.
Corrected the incorrect xt1053 by the correct xt1563

Just finished installing it through ADB sideload (I'm a Canadian Koodo user), I reinstalled the stock firmware before so that I could start on a fresh image. I had trouble getting into stock recovery at first. I was seeing a no command message when trying to enter it but, then I found the solution:
To get passed that point, you have to use the hold power + vol up button solution but, it's tricky, I had to try 3-4 times before getting it right. This part is kind of messed up, if you hold power button for too long, the phone interpret it as a reboot command. What worked best for me was holding vol up button alone for 5-6 seconds and then, I'd tap and release power button while still holding volume up button.

It worked perfectly...

How do you install it? Simply install it in recovery or do we need to install it by adb?

First, you need to have stock recovery, if you installed TWRP custom recovery, you will need to reinstall stock recovery. Entering stock recovery can be tricky, at first you may get an Android robot laying down with a "No command" message.

Edit: a user reported that this method work better (your mileage may vary)
Press and hold the Power Button for 2-5 seconds, while holding it, press and release the Volume Up button. You should now be seeing all the Recovery options.

Once you are booted in stock recovery mode, you can simply follow those steps:
Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC.
Download the OTA update .zip file on your PC and rename it to ota.zip.
Enable USB debugging:
Go to your phone’s settings » About phone » and tap “Build number” Seven times. This will enable Developer options on your phone.
Now go to Settings » Developer options » and tick the USB debugging check box.
Connect your phone to PC.
Now open the folder where you downloaded the OTA update .zip file and then open a command window inside the folder. To do that, do a “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder and select “Open command window here” from the context menu.
Now issue the following window to command window to reboot your device into recovery mode:
adb reboot recovery
└ Check your phone’s screen, if it asks for “Allow USB debugging”, accept it by selecting OK/Yes.
Once in recovery mode, use Volume buttons to navigate up and down between options and Power button to select an option.
Select the “Apply update from ADB” option.
Now issue the following command to finally begin installing the OTA:
adb sideload ota.zip
└ This will begin the OTA installation.
Once the OTA zip is installed, select reboot from the main menu of recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please take note that once Marshmallow is installed, nothing is stopping you from reinstalling TWRP and then, it will work as if nothing ever happened. If you need SuperSU, make sure to use SuperSU 2.62, earlier version may cause problem with Marshmallow. Also, if TWRP , ask if you want to install Root, click "Do not install" as it would install an older version of SuperSU. That's why you need to flash SuperSU 2.62 zipfile.

And if I want to keep TWRP?

Any chance someone could post a TWRP backup after installing the OTA?

You'll just have to reinstall TWRP after. No big deal, you can easily reinstall it afterward. That's what I did and TWRP is working perfectly as if nothing ever happened.

Totally Screwed up my Honor 8

Howdy folks! In need of some urgent help... I'm also not terribly familiar with android as I came from years of using iphones.... Yesterday I did the OTA update to EMUI 5. Everything was fine except bluetooth would fail to turn on...so I tried doing a factory reset in the settings. The reset failed less than 10% in and when the phone rebooted, it seems like only half the OS reset and is totally screwed up (no access to the soft keyboard anymore, etc.).
Reading on how to either rollback to EMUI 4/Marshmallow, I tried using the Huawei Update Extractor after downloading L04 6.0 firmware from the Huawei site ( Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific ).
After issuing the adb command to flash the first file, boot.img, I get a "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed).
I'm a total loss at this point. I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction in terms of what to do next!

I was in the same position as you. Here is what I did:
Download both the rollback package and the full marshmallow firmware (I used a german one since that is my region, i linked one for the UK version, google your specific model to find them) from the hihonor community website: https://community.hihonor.com/docs/DOC-1752 and read the PDFs that are included in both zips, they contain the instructions to roll back to Marshmallow.
You will need an external SD card and you will lose your data.
In case the steps are not clear enough:
1. Copy the dload folder of the rollback package to the root of the SD.
2. Force update the phone (hold volume up and down at the same time when powering up).
3. Shut down the phone after the force update is done.
4. Delete dload folder of the rollback package and replace it with the dload folder of the full marshmallow firmware.
5. Force update the phone again.

First of all, confirm that your model is the L04 model.
The rollback procedure to MM is the following:
- Download the B300 from here http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details?DOC_ID=92098
- Put the 'Update.APP' (~80MB) file in a folder called 'dload' in your external storage
- Turn off your phone then maintain all the buttons (Volume+, Volume-, Power) to turn it on.
After the update finishes, check your build number, you should be on B300.
- Now, delete the 'Update.APP' that's in your 'dload' folder
- copy the 'Update.APP' (~3 GB or so) of the B122 http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details?DOC_ID=89264
- Turn off your phone then maintain all the buttons (Volume+, Volume-, Power) to turn it on.
Let your phone optimize, reformat its partitions.
You should now have MM on B122, you can then update to B162 through OTA.

Thanks for your replies. I sincerely appreciate it. I tried doing the above and when updating the rollback, it would only read to 5% and when phone rebooted it was in the same state it was before attempting the rollback. Could it be something to do with the SD card? Any other ideas? Thanks again.

Alright now let's try another method to save it.
- Turn off the phone
- Keep holding the volume+ button then plug it to a computer.
- Keep holding the volume+ until you see the honor logo.
- You should now see the eRecovery.
- Choose download latest software and recovery.
This is a video of these steps:

Thanks for your replies. I sincerely appreciate it. I tried doing the above and when updating the rollback, it would only read to 5% and when phone rebooted it was in the same state it was before attempting the rollback. Could it be something to do with the SD card? Any other ideas? Thanks again.

Assuming you have successfully flashed the rollback update (B300), I successfully rolled back to B162 by making a "dload" folder on my external SD card, and placing the Update.APP file in there, and then accessing recovery using the pwr+vol (+/-) buttons.. For some reason placing the Update.APP file in the internal storage did not work with the stock recovery, even though the instructions for the rollback ask you to do so. Hopefully this helps.

Alright now let's try another method to save it.
- Turn off the phone
- Keep holding the volume+ button then plug it to a computer.
- Keep holding the volume+ until you see the honor logo.
- You should now see the eRecovery.
- Choose download latest software and recovery.
This is a video of these steps:

Thanks again. Doing this gave me a "getting package info failed" in eRecovery.

Not sure exactly why it worked, but I finally got it restored and am running the latest EMUI 5. Thank you so much everyone for your contributions. I owe you folks a beer!

I'm in the same situation you were in, command not allowed, rollback not working, dload folder with update.app in sd card not working.
How and what did you do after that ?
Thanks in advance

Place the dload folder/files on the root of the internal memory.

Go look on ModaCo.
There is a guy called Paul O'Brien who I think has some thing to do with Honor in some way.
He will help you sort your phone

I somehow managed to actually rollback my phone ! I'm starting to feel a lot better.
Bootloader's locked again, though (no more "this device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted")
Only small problem now is I have the "this device was reset" message problem still around.
Read online here on xda that I need to wait 72 hours before logging on again with my new password (I did change it, that must be why)
I'll just wait these 72 hours and see if it works.
Else if you did have this issue too i'd love to hear about it.

MATE 7 L-09 bricked and dead

Hello
I have a Mate 7 L-09 and I am in the same situation of Sassan_Payehdar described in the his thread
Hi everyone,
I have a Huawei Mate 7 LT-09 16 gig, and I recently did these works:
1. The installed rom was android 6 B513.
2. I read a post in this forum (that is closed now) and updated it to B553 KingVIP Chinese through restoring nandroid TWRP backup.
3. After install I saw lots of bugs, so I wipe all partitions through advanced wipe in TWRP.
4. Then install marshmallow stock recovery using mobopx tool.
after that nothing works.
The USB drive just show hisuite CD-Rom and device not recognize for ADB Options in windows 7,8,8.1 and 10.
There is no recovery,
There is no option using combinations of the buttons vol+,Vol- and power.
I tried installing stock ROM through .app file and dload folder and still nothing works.
I tried Jtag and after lots of work, fastboot screen appears and reinstalling all versions of different recoveries and looks like the software is installing nowhere in neverland!, there is nothing!
I take my device to a technician and he said there is maybe no way to re-run the device. I really need help.
Apologize for poor English and thanks in advance help.

No bootloader, no recovery, no option using combinations of the buttons vol+,Vol- and power, no recognition by ADB on PC only huawei logo.
He tried Jtag to appear fastboot, but I never read anything about Jtag. Where can I find it and how to use it?
Sorry for my English.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you so much!!

What happens when you enable your phone (after shutdown) with pressing power + volume up?
Also, what happens when you do the same but with power + volume down?
I would say that if it loads the logo you should be able to enter fastboot/recovery.
Focus on this first and what is your experience with using custom roms to give us an idea of what could be overlooked etc.
If you can load to fastboot and/or recovery let us know and we start from there.

Thank you very much for the answer......
Ok...
I can' t swich off the phone. When I press power off button it reboot and after a few seconds appears huawei logo and then nothing more happens.
When I try to press VOL- and power or VOL+ and power or any other combination of buttons it happens the same think written above: the phone reboot and after a few seconds appears huawei logo and stop.
I brought the phone to the huawei customer center and they told me it need to change motherboard to fix it but it is out of production. I brought it to two famous Chinese stores to fix phones here in Milano, but they couldn't do anything (so they said).
I would just like to retrieve the use of the phone. I saved all the data.
Thanks again for the help.

Not being able to to overcome the logo boot is unknown to me. Maybe the phone should still be able to be flashed!
I lack the knowledge, but to help out I share a link to someone having a similar issue. I will share the link at the end of this post.
If you are unable to connect to your phone and/or make it enter fastboot or recovery I have no idea if that means your phone is bricked.
For now, make sure you understand how to flash,boot,reset etc your phone, only to be sure you have tried all approaches.
Let us know if you did not succeed also so others can learn from this thread in the future

Good
now I am in this situation: I was able to install TWRP recovery for Marshmallow 3.0.2-0 Mate 7 by Mobopx v.2.1.
I chose this recovery beecause my last firmware was EMUI 4.0 (Marshmallow).
After I tried to apply this method: http://ministryofsolutions.com/2016...09tl10-bootloop-after-marshmallow-update.html, but it didn't work. After flashing I power on the phone and it try to boot (some times the animation start too for a bit) but then nothing. The phone reboot in recovery mode (this is a change compared to before).
Somebody has some ideas??
Thanks
Al
