This is a new thread for the star n9770 mt6577 Dual core.
ROOT
I have just used this method to safely root my star n9770 and worked perfect,it just wipes your time and date after root so just reset them and that's it.
you must follow instructions....

ALWAYS BACKUP DEVICE

Thank you !
Do you know whats the differences between the both firmwares in your post are ?
My N9770 will not fall into Deep Sleep. It just clock the CPU down to 250mhz, but its still on and drains the battery within 12 hours.
I tried several ROMs i've found but all the same. Maybe your stock firmware solves the problem.

i have no idea but i have tried to install the stock firmware i got today but it wont happen,and flashed with the other firmware i got from kylie and its not good.
if you have any working roms i would seriously appreciate a link to some roms as my colours are washed out with the kylie firmware and stock need to be done in recovery but can not do it as wont have saying not signed?so i need a little help
ref battery you need to root and then set cpu to ondemand i use no frills cpu from play to do this

managed to sort out colour issue flashed with mdt and changed the grapics driver so the colour is good now but i have the problem that i started with which created all this hassle and that is the cameras...How do i swap from the front to back camera???
i dont have the little icon to change cameras.

I tried out this Taiwan101 ROM, this one from a russian forum (25/07?) and this one from a chinese forum (newer Taiwan?).
I also had the issue with these strange colors, its the wrong display driver. I fixed it with SP_MDT by selecting RX_50NT_401B as display driver. It seems that these ROMs had all RX_50NT_365A as default which end up in wrong colors.
With the 25/07 Firmware i also killed my cameras, should also be fixable with the correct drivers.
This 'not signed' error appears also with custom recovery ?

yep i can not get the back camera to work/switch, going to try your later rom is it rooted?
How do i install these roms?the later newer Taiwan as i am not used to dual core,do you copy zip to sd card (internal) and go to recovery and update via sd card?
and how would you change the display driver if not flashing via tools
Did you ever have the cameras working as they should?
100 questions.......
hope we can get there in the end

Yes exactly, you had to copy the file to the sd card and flash it via recovery. But you had to install a custom recovery first (i flashed only the recovery. Flashing also the boot.img and the preloader out of this zip ended with a not booting phone.

I flashed the driver with tools. Not the hole ROM, just the uboot.bin. It seems that sp_mdt saves the driver in uboot when you close the programm. I did so and flashed the uboot with the 'normal' flashtool.

Both cameras survived every change of firmware until i flashed the 25/7 ROM.
It seems that there are several hardware version. With the Taiwan101 firmwares the external sd card will not be recognized. I flashed the boot.img from the 13/07 firmware and the sd card came back. SD card is also out of function with your stock rom.
I still had the problem with phone not going into deep sleep. Also NoFrills couldn't change that. Maybe i've not found the right ROM for my hardware yet. I got it from CECT.

Hi i have flashed with the firmware from kylie and changed the display driver whilst flashing with mdt..display is good
I do not have back camera i see no way to switch to back but the front works fine and i have no idea as when i flashed with default driver it was the same no back camera
I do have external SD no problem with 32gb
I had no problems with imei
i need a recovery to flash

The root tutorial posted here does not work with new firmware,so i copied recovery image from custom recovery (brunos)and replaced recovery in new firmware and flashed using mdt with the driver change for graphics..it worked and installed custom recovery and i then proceeded to root with the cwm-su zip in recovery and it worked.
but still no back camera

Cameras and display are working now with these drivers selected in sp_mdt :
mt9p017_raw hi704_yuv RX_50NT_401B
Which display driver have you choosen ? The same ?

i am uploading the modified firmware with these settings in the uboot and with the custom recovery in so can be straight flashed in one go.

You have tested all possible drivers ? Did the second camera work befor flashing ?
I changed the driver and bootet into system test (power+vol. down) to see if the cams are back or not. Its a bit faster than waiting for android to boot completely.

Hi used your firmware link outcome the same no camera so i flashed taiwans rom still no back camera,used uboot from n8000 has the correct drivers for cameras but not display...uboot from i9220 has wrong drivers as has the uboot from note.
used the firmware sent to me by supplier renamed it update zip and installed over taiwans rom and still no back camera.
was getting error "can not connect to camera" several times through out the process,have called it a day and am returning device..

Repartition N9770
Has anyone come out with the 2.5g repartition yet??

Try clearing your cache and removing your battery. Then, install any free basic new Jellybean cam app from the market. See if that re-installs your camera.

Hi and thanks for your suggestion i had already tried that with 3-4 different apps,all stated they could not connect to camera,for me it is a hardware fault as i have done everything humanly possible to resolve.i have now returned device and await a new one.
having talked with china supplier the n9770 has a lot of problems and was released to market to early..most of the models sent out have been recalled due to major faults and they said it wont be until middle of September before the chipset mt6577 is back,whether there is any truth in that i do not know..but they had no replacement for me and have already issued a full refund and postage costs on emailing proof of postage so they seem honest....ummm

[Q] Help! Lost all sensors after ColorOS -> CM11

Hi all,
Got my OnePlus One last week. It's a Chinese version that comes with ColorOS. I immediately tried to flash CM11 nightly onto it after I checked the phone is working.
For some reason I thought I could flash CM11 directly, and so the first thing I did was installing TWRP 2.8.0.1. Then, I copied CM11 zip in to /sdcard , booted to TWRP recovery, wiped all partitions (including System) and then flashed CM11. In hindsight, I believe it was the wrong way to get CM11. I could have wiped something really important (sensors drivers?) when wiping System.
Initially, CM11 nightly seemed to work OK. Then I noticed the Auto-Rotate is not working at all. I installed CPU-Z and *gasp*, there's not a single sensor listed in the CPU-Z Sensors tab!
I spent hours today trying various methods (flash CM11S, flash ColorOS, flash /persist, /reserve4 partitions). However, the sensors are still dead! Besides auto-rotate, I think auto-brightness, proximity sensors are all dead.
Is there any way to get the sensors working again? Your help is much appreciated!

Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 and see if your sensors work after restoring to factory images.

Someone else said only twrp 2.7 is supported for opo, another guy had similar device breaking problems with 2.8.

I'm using TWRP 2.8.0.1 and have no problems. TWRP 2.8 had problems, but 2.8.0.1 resolved them.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply, zephiK! I've run flash-all.sh and I'm in CM11S now.
CPU-Z no longer shows an empty Sensors list! however, only the following 4 sensors have readings:
AK8963 Magnetometer
AK8963 Magnetometer Uncalibrated
TMG-3993 IR_Gesture & Proximity
TMG-3993 Ambient
No readings for the rest...

Does auto rotate work? I'm not really sure how your sensors disappeared in the first place, its very odd.

/system is wiped on every ROM flash anyway so that's not the reason. Glad it's working better at least. Any more issues with the sensors other then some not showing?

Nope, the auto-rotate is still not working.
I've just rebooted CM11S, and... the Sensors tab in CPU-Z became empty again! This is very strange indeed...

I think t is a kernel problem,
Maybe you van flash the original boot.img

Rebooted again. The list of sensors are showing in CPU-Z again, and the same 4 lines have readings (AK8963 Magnetometer, TMG-3993). Still no auto-rotate.
My gut feeling is that there is a low level corruption in one of the "special" partitions. By special I mean the ones that are there but not included in any of the ROMs or factory images. Unfortunately, I don't have a NANDROID backup to restore from (Huge mistake on my part).
Is there a way to download an NANDROID image containing those special partitions?
@gurby1, I thought about kernel problem too, but I've tried flashing many ROMs and kernels:
CM11S 33R
CM11 Nightly 20140296
Franco Kernel r20
ColorOS 2.0 beta
ColorOS 1.2
and the results were the same - broken auto-rotate.

Bump. I'm still looking for a full partitions dump of the OPO.
Something similiar to this one for LG G3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766437

Hello,
Did you find a solution ? I have exactly the same issue as you. It even worst, I don't see any sensor on my device. I have installed many ROMs without any success. I hope it is not a HW problem
Thanks.

Guys.. I also have this issue..
Glad if there any solution on this...

Same problem
Guys any solution yet? I'm getting annoyed by this so much.. Please post here if u have found any solutions. Thx.

I also have the sensor problem which is all sensor is "not supported" in antutu and empty in CPU-Z sensor tab. I fixed it by flashing the persist.img from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061

I know it's a very old topic, but was someone able to recover the non working sensors? It's hard to believe it's a hardware issue, as the proximity sensor should be completely separate from the e.g. accelerometer...
Tried flashing all .bin files via fastboot with no luck...

I'm stuck

Hi guys,
for some reason after I did update to KangVIP I can't get rid off it. Besides I got no wifi and bt and I was going to start over with b023 as suggested but at this point I wont bother anymore.
I did wipe the system, I did advanced wipe using twrp but no matter what I do none of the stock firmwares are going through however the Kanga one always goes through.(KangaVIP goes through only in TWRP)
twrp 2.8.7.0
wipe
advanced wipe
I select all the partitions
mkdosfs process ended with error=1
unable to wipe /usb
unknown mtp message type: 1
unable to wipe /usb
I go back, restart to fastboot, (device is saying there is no OS installed), I restore the recovery, create dload folder on my sdcard, put there 028 (actually I tried all of them already), volume+ volume - power and I get error.
What am I missing ?
Anyone can help ?
Thanks in advance.
Eric

First you did a OTA from B029 to B209?
If so you are now on a Android 6 ROM you cant go back to Android 5 without a Rollback from Huawei.

Yes I did then I wiped everything and started with b028 again.
Same thing, wifi didn't work same with BT.
Wipe again and this time I did local update and since the local update I can't go back not even b029.

If you on a Android 5 ROM you can force update a Complete ROM to install a clean system and try if everything works.

I'm stuck on 6.0
I know I can do force update on 5.0 I said it above I just can't do it with 6.0 -> b029, only with your rom.

Anyone else is having this issue ?
The Kanga rom got a quite few problems no wifi and not BT, Google play services crashing (this can be fixed with gapps) my co worker just tried it with his own methods and same issue. After I went through the whole Kanga thread 60% of the posters got problems most of them are ignored.

I don't have any problems but I think the people with problems are people who have a DAV 701L.

I got DAV-703L, just simple question, why is the wifi and bt not working ?
When I get into Kanga I can remove the root or deny access to it is there a way to ditch it ?
Yeah I know it's working for you and it's not working for 10 other people including 703L owners. There is something wrong with the rom no doubt about it.

I think there was an error while flashing and without a full clean Rom flash i can't see a solution.
Before I got it to work I flashed it more than 3 times and everytime everything worked so I think don't think the ROM is that bugged.

The first rom you introduced is working "fine" I get the wifi and bt no problem but once I switch into the latest build it's gone.
Any idea where can I get full clean Rom ?
This one is a no go http://www.needrom.com/download/p8max-dav-703l/

I managed to rollback to 5.1.1 but when I try to force flash it, it says it's not compatible.

If you don't update properly to B209, when you flash any B209 rom you are going to run into issues such as the wireless Bluetooth and sim card switching for some. If you properly updated the dload method should have completed successfully. Look at the kernel and radio version of B209 in About phone and compare it to others and see if they match.

I don't want to use your rom even if you removed the Chinese it's still inside the system. Boot load times take much longer. Unexpected crashes. I did try it on 4 phones with OTA and local updates 2 are working but the Kang does crash twice a day minimum.
All what I'm asking is how to restore it to it's original settings, this was my worst mistake ever.
What I'm trying to say if I do something I do it properly just look at your thread 85% failure ratio that doesn't look like it was done properly does it ?

Really dude?? No worries, it will be the last time I do anything for the P8Max. Maybe you should just sell the phone since you're having all sorts of issues with it....or maybe you should have left it totally stock then. Or maybe read through the Mediapad X2 forums because the two phones are very similar.

[6045O] Attempting to upgrade to Lineage 13

Alright, This is just because I am trying to take precautions so that way I do not end up with a brick.
Currently I am rocking 5.1 PAC-MAN and things are going well. But LineageOS for MM for 6045 came already and I want to use that as my daily driver.
Here is where I run into a problem. For those of you that know I only have LP radios and modems on my system. Main problem I am having and is keeping me from flashing is the lack of a MM radio and or modem. Is there anyone that is on 6045O that had tried this out without having that lockscreen problem?

If you don't flash the MM radios, you will end up with lock screen issues, unfortunately.
-EDIT-
So apparently I can't read. I have the 6045O and this link has the correct modem files to fix the lock screen issues.
https://mega.nz/#F!u0UBAICD!DzKYnswfK5J6dw5WQNgEDg
6.0.1 modem is the file you need.

While playing around with ROMs for the phone I had some odd issues here and there. As far as the SuperSU flash, it almost always loops a couple times during the reboot process, but I've switched to the lineageOS official su addon because I like native support and root management. Also it never did those initial boot loops. When I did have an issue (just recently, in fact) I ran a wipe of the system partition, then installed the rom, and ran the repair file system option in TWRP, and since then it's been smooth as butter. If you're interested in giving it another go, just let me know and I should be able to link you the files, as they're on my google drive.

May I ask one more thing? Have you ever gotten the PIN lock or password or pattern lock to work?
EDIT: Nvm. Using Hi-Locker for now. All is good.

I use a pattern lock on mine, and after flashing the modem files, the lock screen functions as it should with all methods. Consider re-flashing the modem and ROM if you get to where you want to play with it, full wipe prior, no dirty flash.

stable android 11 released for op7p

why is no one discussing stable android 11 for op7p ? got my update round 3 a.m. this morning. been searching all day for a working twrp since the stable android 11 been released. no luck though......

Hi,
Today I installed the update manually and my phone keeps flashing the TWRP load-screen at boot. It's stuck now. Is that because there is no compatible TWRP version yet? How do I fix this?? Any idea?

There is no working TWRP yet for Android 11. You'll need to flash the stock boot.img or rooted boot.img from one of the threads in the news, guides section.
Edit: TWRP screen flashing is because it's incompatible. I had the same issue on the open betas.

Have the exact same issue as above, Twrp screen flashing, cannot boot back to normal even with adb... anybody has a rooted boot.img link that knows works with Android 11?
Should have checked on xda first *slaps his face*
Always check xda first *slaps his face again*
EDIT: For other poor saps with this issue use this -> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693770594 I didnt managed to get booted with rooted img but the original boot img file worked well ... at least I got a phone now...

im on 10.3.8 and rooted..
can i just do the same old process.. twrp isnt an issue as long as may apps are safe and root..

No, its not the same process.... For me for example I couldnt get wifi to actually work on rooted image AND you lose the ability to do backups via TWRP..... Refer here for the latest on this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...p-recovery-for-oneplus-7-pro.3931322/page-153

I mean.. same steps.. that ive used so far amd retain its root.
1. Download rom via o2 updater
2. Flash it via local update
3. Install magisk to inactive slot
4. Reboot.
So if i do this.. wifi wont work??? Is that it???
Finished updating my phone..after downloading it for about 2 hours.
And im quite satisfied with the results. No problems whatsoever..

Glad for you... You probably had already removed the encryption on your mobile... from what I'm reading that is the main incompatibility issue with TWRP...
FWIW after playing around for a day, I had to revert everything Phone wifi was weird (weirder with root and all mods disabled) and system was a little unstable in some 3p apps and there seems to be some bugs with the phone screen 60/90 refresh... Gonna wait a bit to update again.

i dont mind not having TWRP for the meantime,, i just used TWRP previously for flashing CUSTOM kernels.. hehehehe.
anyways, what problem have you encountered regarding wifi?? i dont seem to experience those,, maybe because i came from stable oos 10.3.8..
what app crashed and problems have you encountered???
