[Q] Installing ROM on MTK6575

Hello,
I'm new to flashing and installing ROM on android phones.
I enabled root in this phone.
I wanted to install JellyBean 4.2.2.
After a long search on the internet and a lot of trying I decided to open a thread here.
My phone is Star N800 MTK6575 with Android 4.0.4.
When I tried to install ROM through recovery mode it showed me this:
"Failed to verify whole-file signature"
I tried to install ClockWorkMode Recovery without success
SP flash tool and Odin also disappointed me..
Could anyone help me please?
Maybe I did something wrong, can you please explain me step by step how to upgrade this phone?
Please help me, every answer will be appreciated.
Thank you!

I think I found the problem.
When I plug in my phone in the usb, when it's turn off and without the battery, I see it in the Device Manager appearing and then disconnecting.
I tried to change the Power Settings but it didn't help. Anyone faced this problem in the past and knows how to fix it?

Dont alter the zip,
in cwm toggle off the sign verification,then try flashing..:thumbup:
SENT FROM MONSTER ! ! !
HIT THANX OR I WILL JUST
CRY...

I don't have CWM, I have a regular android recovery mode..
I can't flash anything with it..

HELP ME PLEASE :crying:

[Q] Help for Xperia Tipo Doesnt Boot anymore

Hello since i decided to help a friend, everything got bad and I don't know why :/
Before this Tipo I rooted/unlocked Boot-loader and changed the ROM of Wildfire S, Nexus One (cyanogen ones).
Today I started to Make this "Tipo" for a friend and that's why is so important for me the phone to work its not mine ( I usually don't make my life so complicated to make someone's phone, why i did it this time).
So It was with official ROM Unrooted and with Locked Boot-loader and I checked it if its possible to
Unlock the boot-loader It was saying Yes.
I Unlocked the Boot-loader following the instructions with "Unlock SE xperia Boot-loaders 1.6" with no problem,
I know because the phone was Reset after the finish.
After that i was able to Root the phone and I had SU privileges already in the phone and
I started to put CWM.
I first Trued with RecoverX I did everything instaling Sony Pc Companion, usb debugging ,unknown sources, busy box installed(SU privilegies) and RecoverX writed me that its installed successfully.
I try to start CWM after the reboot it was not working, I try about 10 times more, it was not working so I searched another way and i found this -
For Tipo and tipo dual users-cwm_tipo_v6.zip for cwm.For TWRP-TWRP_tipo.zip
1 Unzip It using winrar or 7zip.
2 Connect you phone in usb debugging mode to pc
3 Windows users double click on install.bat.
4 Linux users use terminal to run install.sh.
It worked from the first time!
After that I put this ROM and Gapps on the SD Card
[MIRO/TIPO/J][ROM][4.1.2] Jelly Bean Mini Project Release 5
And I Went into Recovery and I Did this
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Patriotion
Advance Wipe Dalvic Cache
Install from SD Card and i find the zip archive of the ROM and the Gapps (from the ROM's directory)
I installed first the ROM after that Gapps (from Install from SD)
After that I went to Reboot System Now
(I usually don't make backup I didn't do it this time too but anyway it wont help I think in this case)
I waited the new ROM to load 10-15 Mins and I saw nothing is happening so I google the ROM and
I reeded that the ROM has sometimes that loop which is just loading for hours and nothing is happening (first boot)
So i took the battery off and I trued to go into Recovery, Sadly the recovery is gone ;(
I trued around 20 times to enter recovery with no success
And now I don't know if I'm able to do something ;( No Recovery No ROM The ROM is already above 1 hour loading
Please somebody to help me with something, or at least to tell me its no point there is nothing I can do
and to look how to buy a new phone for my friend

Try SEUS...!

Z3 in bootloop

The device just keeps rebooting endlessly, I flashed moonbreaker rom and when rebooting the device this happened.
No idea what to do to resolve it, please can someone assist me, the device is completley unsuable. Only option is to return it and hope for a new one I'm guessing?

It would be better if you asked in respective ROM thread ,not opening a new one, just sayin..
You can either :
- enter recovery,flash disable exposed zip,you can find in moonbreaker thread,and see if it solved it.
- clean flash prerooted rom ,you can find one in general section
If all fails,you can enter fastboot mode and flash ftf via flashtool or even try with PC Companion if everything else fails.There should be a repair option within PC companion,haven't used it though,but you should find it easily.

I went into twrp and factory reset the phone and it is still broken! i really need someone to help me im very stuck here!!!

Can you report the exact steps you took prior to this happening? Which files you flashed and in what order? Also which version of the Z3 do you own?
Have you tried restoring a nandroid if you made one?

If your boot loader is locked you can just repair with pc companion.

Help, I hard bricked my Lenovo A806!

Hello, I did something very stupid, trying to change the ROM. (The Chinese system VIBE UI puts its own bootloader / recovery sequence, that prevents you to load another one from SD card.)
The phone is Lenovo A806 and is viewed by USB as MT6592.
Using Smart Phone Flash Tool and various tutorials, I attempt it to flash a new recovery, but stupidly, chose format and download. This probably wiped everything in the boot sector, because the phone is totally dead: does not start or even light when connected to the charger.
I figured there should be a way to flash back the informations wiped, but the trouble is I don't know where to find the files used to boot. The scatter.txt file found had only indication to the recovery.img file, which I could download from a tutorial.
Some other files, I could find in the zip of what looks like the original ROM, VIBE UI 2.0. So I took them out of the zip and pointed the scatter.txt to their location. So I have covered uboot.img, boot.img, logo.img
I would desperately need the rest of the files, especially: MBR, EBR1, ANDROID
Anyone has any idea where can I download them from? The first two should be some simple text files with lots of numbers in them, the third one, I don't know. But no ROM seems to contain them.
The main folder of the zipped ROM contained also files like: file_contexts and type.txt - but I don't know what to do with these.
When I try to flash the files I have, I get an error with obtain DRAM fail. I tried it with or without the battery in the phone. Because I don't have all files, I can't select format or firmware upgrade.
Any chance I could find those files to try saving the phone, please?
Thank you!

Do U had solve the problem, if not just tell me.... i will give u link to download all file u need.

Hi, I've made some mistake that bricked my Lenovo A806. Now, I could finally unbrick it, but the Android OS only works when it is charging: If I unplug it, in a few seconds start to reboot indefinitely and won't overpass a blank screen with an orange chinese logo (you could find it looking for china unicom mentions in google images)
There is a way to recover the correct behaviour of the phone? Or, after bricked it, is possible that something has been broken ?
The ROM that now I'm running is this: A806_1508_ST_MULTI_DEODEX_SL
And the Tools that I've used was SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1408.00
Any help is welcome!! Thanks for all!

I'll try it, I'm downloading now.
Could be flashed with SP Flash Tool and checking all the rows in the scatter file (including preloader) ?
Thanks again!
EDIT:
I tried installing the official version, but unfortunately the problem persists. It's strange: only If I stop charging, the phone in a lapse of 5 seconds to 2 minutes, start to booting indifferently.
Someone can help me? I need my phone as soon as is possible !!

That means, it boots now ?
If it is behaving abnormally, just start it from scratch by formatting everything with fastboot...

i have the same problem!! do u solve the problem? pls help me!!

Please help:bootloop Iget Blackview a7 (eu gold version)

Hello everyone,
as its said in title i managed to f*** up my device and cant get out of bootloop.
to explain more ill give some hopefully inportant details:
This was my first root attempt ever(meant without apps like kingroot,kingoroot etc.)
I succesfuly got to unlock bootloader and with fastboot i achieved getting TWRP on it,
after change of twrp language i rebooted the phone(the tutorial i read said to do it)
This is the part when i start to f*** up
My phone rebooted and said :
*Orange Code:
Your device is unlocked and can`t be trusted
Your device will boot in 5 seconds. *
... My first idea was that maybe i was supposed to lock the bootloader back so i did that,that resulted in red code with similiar message about something being off and phone rebooting,so i unlocked it back cause orange > red ,then i googled and discovered that i was supposed to delete all of my data n cache to make sure,so i tried,i got some text about success with cache but data failed with text that it cant find this folder,so i tried to reboot like it didnt said anything about failing(this happens in a lot of software and still manage to somehow workout so i told myself this was the situation),what didnt happen?Orange code again,so i started panic,searched how to restore original rom through fastboot,got some tutorial again telling me to download original rom and file after file flash these,so i tried,it worked until i got to boot.img file,it said that it wasnt boot file at all,so in pure panic and desperateness i procceded to download some recovery.img file in hope that this will do the trick and the original bootloader will recognise it and let me back to my phone,well that was terrible,terrible mistake,now im stuck in bootloop(orange code),cant get into recovery or fastboot by any key shortcut(i tried all i could find up+power,down+power,up+donw+power,just power,nothing works,only thing that happens is that after some time it just shows boot logo and is stuck there)so im desperate,my pc doesnt identify it,fastboot doesnt too,not even adb)so i ask here for help with my sincere pleading and thanks.
Disclaimer:Im sorry if there are some mistakes in text english is not my main language and its my first try to ask for help on technical forum so i hope i didnt done something wrong
Edit:i achieved getting to normal boot logo (seems like kind of random thing will try to get more info how,and in this state its just stuck here doing nothing but device manager recognise it as A7 as it would been normally plugged in exept giving warning (Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)),so that could maybe help that pc recognise its being connected but still nothing further,no fastboot no adb,no sp flash tool
