can any one help me making a cwm for my phone? - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I am using samsung galaxy trend 2 duos s7572..i couldn't find a single custom recovery for my phone on google.then i found a post about online cwm builder.i tried to use that builder.but after uploading the recovery.img the page says:
"Your build has been queued. The build id is:
ce45a0bc59aeacd716de24f1e2e0aebc
Continue to the build server.
View the current build output."
Then after clicking the "view the current build output" it says:
"HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /job/recovery/lastBuild/console. Reason:
Not Found
Powered by Jetty:// "
I dont know what the problem is. Anyone help me solve the issue.or it would be better if anyone can build me a cwm for my phone.my phone's recovery img has been attached.
Thanks in advance

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)!

wow finally i found someone with the A8500. i hope u guys can do something to this phone, basically to speed up / overclock it. that's all i want. sorry i can't help coz i m a NOOB with android.

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?

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

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.

Chinese Note II clone problem (Star S7100 - MTK6577)

Hi,
I have just bought a chinese Note II clone.
Code:
www dot cellphonemic dot com/mtk6577-android-phones/s7100-mtk6577
The phone seems to be unable to handle SIM properly. On every start I get the error message:
com.android.phone stopped
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SIM Toolkit is also unable to start. When I start or receive a call, the display goes blank or just flashes up for a moment. (This problem is resolved already, see here)
I was told it is most likely a firmware error. On searching, I didn't find this model or similar in the forum. I also tried several rooting methods described here without success.
Here are some details I could get from the phone:

I asked the chinese merchant I bought the phone from but he seems quite uncertain, although he promised to send a new ROM.
Can anybody help? Thanks in advance
Unfortunately is often quite difficult to get support for those Chinese clone devices. I hope you'll find someone that can help you but I think your best bet is to ask the seller for a replacement.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
At least I could root. Then I could try some custom ROM at my own risk.

It was never in my mind. This is why I posted here. But the question is still academic, since firmware update requires rooting (as far as I know) and I am unable even to root.
Proximity sensor
The problem of blank/flashing screen during calls has been resolved. The proximity sensor needed a proper calibration. I did the calibration many times so far, but not the correct way. I have just figured out how it should be done effectively.
pls teach me.

It is actually a simple process. Locate your proximity sensor, it is a small LED-like thing next to the speaker, on either side. Look for calibration of proximity sensor, you can find it usually amongst the display options. Tap on it, target-like concentric circles appear and the application asks you to place some obstacles over the sensors. The easiest way is to hold your palm above the sensor approx. 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Touch the Start button, and then try to complete the process with your hand motionless. The whole process takes a few seconds. If you did everything right, during a call, holding the phone to your ear the screen goes blank, and the phone application re-appears when moving the phone away.

Hi,
thanks for the response. How is your ROM working? Is it fully functioning, rooted or not etc.
How should it be installed? From SD card or by flashing application?
Send it anyway, having itself doesn't do any matter.
Thanks in advance
I have the exact same phone as you but mine seems to be working fine. I've tried to root it and there is no way I can find to root it. Especially since my boot menu is in Chinese! I would give you my ROM if I knew how.
I guess buyers should run the risk when buying clone phone. Asking replacement seems to be the answer.

You may try to flash the original factory ROM via Flash Tool, if your phone still can be recognized.
Btw. root access can be gained by replacing the Chinese recovery with CWM recovery, then installing SU from CWM recovery.
Successfully rooted
I have just successfully rooted my phone. The process was as follows:
I replaced the Chinese factory recovery mode with CWM recovery via Flash Tool.
Started the phone with CWM recovery and installed a superuser package from it.
If anybody interested, I can provide links to files needed along with description of the process.
Hi just joined this group
Can you post how you rooted the S7100 please
Been trying all day with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18
but phone will not root that way

Flashing CWM Recovery and install root
Download CWM_and_root_flash.rar from here.
Unpack the archive with its folder structure to a path not containing any special characters.
Flashing CWM Recovery:
Turn off the phone without connected to the computer.
Take out the battery and insert it back after a few seconds.
(If the driver is already installed, continue with step 5) Connect the phone to the computer with USB cable. The operating system will detect a new device - direct the wizard to the folder containing the driver (for your version of OS)
[*]When driver is installed, disconnect the cable from the computer.
Run the program SP Flash Tool.

Push the button Scatter-loading and select the file MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt (it is in the folder CWM Recovery).
IMPORTANT! Make sure, only RECOVERY is selected in the image list, otherwise the phone could stop working!
Push the button Download.
Connect the phone to the computer. The program should recognize it and start flashing.
If the phone is not detected, then unplug it from the computer, remove and insert the battery and re-connect to the computer.
Also the new hardware wizard may pop up again - just let it install the driver automatically.
When flashing is complete, disconnect the phone.
Boot the phone normally to check everything works properly.
Installing root (Superuser):
Save MT6577 blk0p3 Root by CWM-SuperSU 0.99 angelobiz.zip on SD card (internal SD card is preferred).
Turn off the phone and reboot it in recovery mode by keeping pressed Volume+ and Power buttons simultaneously.
You enter CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2 you have just flashed. (Navigate with V+/- and choose with PWR)
Choose "install zip from sdcard" from the main menu.
Either select "choose zip from sdcard" from the next menu if you saved the zip on the external SD card
or select "choose zip from internal sdcard" if you saved the zip on the internal SD card.
Navigate to the zip and press the Power button. When the installation process is complete, reboot the phone normally.
Superuser application is now installed and you can check the root status with a root checker application.

[Q]CM10.1 install error "Can't partition unsafe device" "Can't format unknown volum

[Q]CM10.1 install error "Can't partition unsafe device" "Can't format unknown volum
Noob here. Trying to install CM 10.1.3 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (SGH-i497). Originally had the Status 7 error, and I have already removed the "assert" code, but I still have this problem:
log:
Code:
--Installing: /sdcard/cm-10.1.3-p5100.zip

I: Update location: /sdcard/cm-10.1.3-p5100.zip

I have tried several TWRP and CWM version with both ODIN and Heimdall, but none were able to boot. The ONLY recovery I have successfully booted on my device came from this awesome person: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101044
It's is a CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2. I can't post in their thread because I have noob status :silly:
EDIT: I've also tried other versions of CM 10.1 for the p5110, and get the same error.
I have searched far and wide, and have not found any solutions to this install error, especially pertaining to my device and the version of CM I want to use. Can anyone help me??
I'm fairly certain this has to do with the custom CWM recovery being unsuited for the installation, but the dev claims othewise (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39911421&postcount=92).
What really confuses me is that not ONE recovery from any other publisher will boot on my device, even though I've successfully rooted.
Any suggestions?
What a mess
So in an effort untangle all the variables in this nearly 12-hour project, I realized that the SGH-i497 from AT&T (what I have) is maybe NOT THE SAME as the p51xx series of tablets. They appear nearly identical, but someone with more experience would probably be able to figure out what distinguishes them.
In conclusion, the reason no recoveries work besides childofthehorn's is because hers is the only existing one for this device! (Besides stock obv)
Thus the CM versions for p51xx wouldn't be compatible, hence the original error. But I'm going to attempt the p5113 nightly, and failing that stick with stock.
UPDATE: Error mentioned in OP persists with all versions of CM for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (p51xx). Still no successful installation. Concluding that SGH-i497 is unsupported entirely by Cyanogenmod, unless anyone has experienced otherwise.

error: recovery.img too large

First of all, not sure if this is the correct place to post this. New to XDA.
I'm trying to port TWRP to a MT6580 based tablet branded as 'Tablet DL 2811'. I used twrpdtgen for creating a device tree (located here), and followed the steps for building it. All goes ok until the recovery image generation, when this error pops up:
error: +out/target/product/Tablet_DL_2811/recovery.img too large (15525888 > [12473472 - 270336])
Any suggestions? Correct me if i'm doing anything stupid

Tried changing BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE to the repported size and even commented out this line on BoardConfig.mk. Still no luck
Edit: forgot to mention, when commenting out, the build is sucessful, but flashing it on fastboot fails because of the size being too large (and the device freezes)
