Hi!
I'm using Prestigio 5000 duo and this method does not seem to work for me. Mostly the script remains in the infinite loop, sometimes it said it completed however there was a mount - no permission error and no rotting was done.
I also tried MTK tools without any luck. Is there any other way?
My version is: PAP5000DUO.V20130419.V1.0.10
Please help! I'd like to create a backup (install CWM) and fix the jumping wifi mac address bug. (apply custom mac address). Rooting is needed.
Thanks!
It seems like I have JB 4.1.1. and this one works for 4.0 only. I'm looking at this solution ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245259 ) but I haven't been brave enough to start it as I first tried to read back the recovery from the phone before flashing the new, it does not work (0% does not move). Also when I cat the proc/mtd file in abd shell it returns an empty list.

Now I was able to read back but cannot download the recovery: SP Flash Tool Error 8038. I have Prestigio PAP5000Duo.
I have MTK6577 scatter file (MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt). Should I press upgrade instead of download? Will it work with only a single recovery file?
Thanks!
OK, I figured out it myself. The process did not work with the scatter file that was provided with the recovery image. Using MTKDroidTools it was two clicks to create one. (/prec/mtd was empty, that was a nogo).
Now it works. Unfortunately mac address changing does not work even with root. I get random every time. What a pity...

So did anyone finally found out how to root it without any problems? Could someone pls post a video tutorial on youtube? I need that RAM memory it's crashing too often, and battery is draind really fast and I have the phone for about 4 weeks only. And I'd like to update kernel and do other things with franco kernel updater. (Look on google play-costs few bucks).
What to do with PAP5000T? Need more RAM. It's always in red,need 200 mb RAM more.

I bought a chinese phone Telsda/TSD A198 . The firmware reports it as an MT6589 CPU but the computer reports it as a spreadtrum phone. I need to root the phone to get rid of some apps on this to make space. Also without rooting is there anyway to backup the stock rom on my phone before I mess up to root? I have seen a method on XDA but that requires root. Now I am trying to backup to get to rooot !!!! Also I have also researched researchdownload but without a ROM backup and not knowing which CPU model to flash its impossible to it right. I also looked into mtkdroidtools and it tells me "unstructured rom backup not possible" , so I am guessing its a fake MTK CPU that is being reported by tweaking the firmware.
This is the link to the phone

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I also interesting for this phone, but I have some doubt about the specs of this item. If you could clear some important properties for me, such as:
Does it have GPS functionality?
If not, this indirectly indicates that CPU is not MTK-based (likely Spreadtrum SC6820 if 3G functionality is absent or Spreadtrum SC8810 if it is present)
What is the real width of the phone?
It seems to me it is about 64mm, not 60.8 (as described in seller specs)
What is the RAM size?
Does it have 256 or 512MB RAM?
What is the real Andriod version?
Does it have Android 2.3.X disguised as Android 4.X.X?
I will be grateful for your response.

Ok, first my honest suggestion dont buy this phone it has pathetic performance. For the same price go for a real MTK6577 dual core. ANyways below are the answers to your question
> Real CPU frequence seems to be 1GHZ
>Mali 300 GPU
>no 3G
>no GPS
>256MB RAM and 256 MB ROM
>I am not sure if its real JB and I cant figure it out but it says JB 4.2.1 and the kernel is 2.6.35.7 and hence I guess its a fake JB. The funny part is under baseband version it says "MT6589 1.5GHZ quad cores" !!!! offcourse it means the firmware/build.prop has been tweaked and is reporting false values. Also when I ran Antutu it gives a score of about 3500 which is useless when compared to what is required to run games ..etc. I hope I have helped.
Thank you much - you helped me to avoid hasty purchase. And good luck in rooting your device.

I have stitched firmware which works perfectly and is rooted. I also got google play store installed. Its not original firmware, the original one is supposedly 4.2.1 (I think its fake), what I have got installed is 4.0.4 if that works for you let me know.

So 4.2.1 or 4.0.4 for me is not important. I am new in the firmware of the phone (did the firmware only the tablet). Thankful for step by step instructions from the specialist.

ok looks like lot of people have issues with this phone. Its a junk phone, all fake stuff on it. ANyways I will upload the firmware images and then you guys can use those to flash on your phones. Below is what I have done
1> Patched a 4.0.4 ROM which works perfectly
2>Removed useless preinstalled apps
3>rooted
4>Perfectly working dual sim,GPRS,WIFI,Camera,Camcorder .,..etc etc
4>The issue is with the IMEI, because of the way its stored you guys will need to use your own NV files.
The only thing I havent been able to do is get a working CWM, but you dont need it as you can flash the firmware images using researchdownload.
Braindia, you even pierced smartphone using researchdownload? Maybe I need a USB driver or researchdownload? What have you used? I can't understand how to enable the firmware on this phone: food & + -test menu; food & - picture with your phone and the triangle, but windows does not find the device driver.

Here you go, you flash at your own risk. If there are bricks/issues you are responsible for your own device.(Standard disclaimer) . I have uploaded all the files except system and NV, system image is kind of big and I am trying to figure it out where to upload it.. You dont need to worry about NV unless you completely erased the flash(never erase the complete flash or format it). If you havent done so then you are good to go.
Please google to find researchdownload and use it to flash the attached files. I wont be able to write the tutorial on using researchdownload so google is your friend.
I have also uploaded the gapps zip which will get you up and running with google play store. You need root to copy these files directly into system/apps folder.
I will be able to upload a system file which works, not the patched one with google play store, root ...etc etc . You do that on your own, I will help you do it.
Thanks !
Tutorial researchdownload not needed. I installed the USB driver and researchdownload. When the phone is loaded, I can connect it to your computer . BUT when I try to flash the phone with the help of researchdownload I need to enable firmware on your phone. In the mode of firmware (if I understand it correctly) phone is not detected by Windows. I wanted to know what USB drivers and version researchdownload used you, and as included mode firmware on your phone.
I have the original firmware.

your phone is probably not detected due to 2 reasons
1> windows disabling non signed driver.. if thats the issue while you start the PC keep hitting F8 you will be shown various options
Select disable windows driver signature enforcement
2> Second reason is you need to add an entry in adb_usb.ini file I think its 0x1782 which is for SPRD enumerator. There are tons of links for this one of which is

getting root is simple, flash a CWM I have attached one, please note this does not work but it works enough to get you root. follow the below steps
1> Flash attached recovery
2> boot into recovery ... this will not show the normal CWM options but dont worry just connect to your pc
3> run ADB shell, you will be automatically in root mode
4> perform mount /system and then exit shell
5> push su binary & busybox directly to /system/bin (from the command prompt using adb push)
6>change permissions for su & busybox to make them runnable
7> exit from the shell and reboot
8> do adb install superuser.apk(optional this can be done later)
thats it you have su, and then you can sideload the superuser apk or you can do step 8 as above. Once you have rebooted and verified that you indeed have superuser you can flash the stock recovery back on the phone.
Note note note : The CWM recovery image is only for you to get root and it doesnt work and doesnt show the normal CWM options... you have been warned. You should flash your old recovery/stock recovery after you have achieved root.
Also can you give me the stock recovery image so that I can build a working CWM out of it. I overwrote mine and now stuck with another recovery which works but is not for this phone.
Thanks

Hmm... I am not sure what is the issue please try attached drivers and pray that they work . use either 64bit or 32bit depending on your OS.
Also you said you have the firmware can you upload it ? I can do something more with the stock/original firmware, so please upload it
I installed a different driver for windowsXP and windows7, but the result is the same. Too much time for 54$. I buried this smartphone. So good luck to you on the path to custom firmware. One month firmware will be available my personal archive: http://files.mail.ru/A9FBE04381094135959559784E5F49A4

Hello
I bought this china phone called vkworld vk700pro . rooted it and used the official firmware to build recovery cwm and modified the EBR1, EBR2 files to extend the app partition size from 1 gb to 3gb .
Make sure the mtk drivers installed before u do this .
1- Download the Official firmware from here.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_lwKUeCfjkPSXlHV0FFUF9VWTA/view
unrar it ,
2- download below link , its all what u need to root it and flash the cwm, ebr files .
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1YQfWNB26xbTTdLQWNwZzM0aU0/view?usp=sharing
unrar it .
3-backup the ebr1,ebr2,recovery.img,checksum.ini files from the original firmware in case something goes wrong.
4-copy ebr1,ebr2,recovery.img u downloaded from the second link and paste them in the official rom folder .
5-rename the ini file checksum.ini to something els like cheksum_old.ini .. this file is in the rom folder .
6-open SP_flash tool and locat your scatter file which is in the rom folder and hit download .
7-when its finished root ur device using kingo root software .
this a a quick demo i made on YouTube to how to do it .
https://youtu.be/XfI2tXf-CqY
Thanks!
Thanks so much for doing and sharing this! This is just what I needed for my daughter's phone since she was having trouble installing apps with the 1GB limit.
Have you tried to install another ROM on this device? If you know how, please share and make another video. The youtube video was very helpful in getting the 3GB partition to work on my daughter's phone.
Awesome job! :good:
Glad it helped u , i did not try another rom , i think the stock rom is pretty fine . no blotware apps or junk adware .. the only think i hate about this phone is the signal its very week it won't go to one bar when 3g is enabled . i was going to hack the gsm antenna but am not much into hardware soldering ..

I've removed one link from your OP. The host site you used for that one is not allowed on XDA, as it requires registration to it, or social media sites, to use.
Please replace it with a direct download host site link.

I can confirm that this works. Only problem I had was installing the MTK drivers before starting, because I'm running Windows 10 and I think the OP is running Windows 7. Just search online, download and install the drivers first and then follow the excellent video created by OP.
hi there
great tutorial do you have any problems with the gps on this phone i have one and i cant get the gps to work.

Maybe i'll try it by myself one day. But still a little worried. Thank you all the same.
Can you post a tutorial using Windows 10?
I tried installing Win10 drivers with no avail.
I have the vk700 not the vk700 pro cannot find any hardware differences so my question is if anyone knows if the procedure will work with vk700 too.
Thanks in advance
Worked very well, just lets get clear some steps:
1. Download
2. Unzip
3. Run the tool, find the file.
4. Plug the phone, turn off the phone.
5. If u get an error after the installation, just try again with the battery phone off. Is not breaked yet.
Thanks OP.
P.S. Im using it with the MIUI launcher (look for it in the miui oficial forums), and goes very smooth.

How can we do to make the 1GB ROM of this phone to be 3GB? I don't quite follow you. And if you want to get an affordable smartphone with larger RAM, we can get the Bluboo Maya with 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM.

Well there is a tutorial at
cinafoniaci.com/smartphones/guide-e-tutorial/vkworld-vk700-pro-aumentare-la-partizione-per-le-app-fino-a-3gb
Me neither dont speak italian and yet easy to follow. I mean...if ever crossed path with flash tools - hard to forget since it turns to same
me,however, have the problem after flashing related to camera. no switch icon anywhere neither any app recognizes there is a front one,just rear.
tried cleaning data,cache, general system reset and nothing helped. is there a way to manualy ad another cam with different id and force android to accept it?
This is only for chip mtk 6580?
Is anybody out there who has rooted VKworld VK700X? I just can't find any instructions on that topic, I just found lots of misleading titles on the net. I'd like to install GNU/Linux on this outdated phone I don't use anymore.
Hi everyone,
I just want to share about this Lenovo S856 LTE rom. Yesterday, I have accidentally uninstall 1 system app which is I do not know if it will make this device bricked and it is IDEA.apk and some themes app. Before that, I have also root this device using kingroot and all work fine as it should. Spent all night trying to find best solution as the device won't booting and just stuck at bootanimation and ended with blackscreen. Since this is my first time using this model, I also don't know it's quiet complicated to flash new ROM with QPST softwares.
But thanks to whoever who compiled this Lenovo s856 rom into 1 flashable file ( QSB file ). It's huge than normal ROM I ever found, it was 1.5 GB and I did successfully recover my device after several attempt and findings.
Firstly, download ROM - I can't include ext links here as I'm still new :angel:, you can find the rom Lenovo_S856_ROW_S138_141113 from google drive. Using IDM would be great to download this 1.1GB zip file.
2. Enter recovery mode by pressing Vol + and Vol - together and press Power button and reset device to its factory. ( format data/cache)
3. Reboot again and now enter Service Mode by pressing Vol - and Power button. There is 13 options available and selecting them using volume button and power button is for OK.
4. Choose number 5 ( factory reset ) and number 6 ( erase user data ) this is necessary as I tried once skipping this option and device keep rebooting non stop. I'm not sure what makes it rebooting and rebooting. maybe caches or dalvik not wiped completely using recovery wipe method.
5. Choose number 8, ( backup MRD data ) and next number 10 ( Save Parameter ) to backing up modem files into your external SD card.
[Edit] 6. Once you got your download file ready, extract it into your PC or directly to your sdcard ( external sd ).
7. Create a 'new folder' in sdcard and rename it to 'sdfuse' and copy .qsb ROM file you extracted earlier into sdfuse folder. So the path will be /sdcard1/sdfuse/romfile.qsb
And now, reboot into service mode. Now choose number 4 ( SD update ) and let's it do it work, flashing will take about 5 minutes.
and REBOOT!
Now, let see if you're having any issue e.g stuck at boot, please repeat the process once again and I'm sure it will fix.
And if phone not detecting your SIMcard. please boot into Service Mode and choose number 11 ( Load Parameter ) and REBOOT.
Good Luck! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Low ram issue on my s856
Hi mate thanks for the info, i have td-lte model i think is cn set. I have problem with low ram issue, my free ram always below 300mb which causing game auto quit eg. Coc, boombeach. It started auto quit when free ram reach below 150mb. Need restart phone to restore free ram above 300mb then can run game but after a few play the game auto quit again, also having problem keyboard not display in game due to low ram. I find out that the vibe ui is consume alot of ram than non vibe, example open setting it consume about 66mb of ram, with non vibe from lenovo a536 just used 23mb of ram. Now im root and disable unimportant system app to free up more 300mb ram just to get some game run. When compare mine s856 without app running with a536, mine will get average 350mb(heavily system app disable)free ram but a536 without app easily get 550mb free ram. Any solution? Or how to downgrade to non vibe.

Need for MRD and Parameters data backup.
Unfortunately, restoring modem configuration (11 . Load Parameter) doesn't work for ROW firmwares installed on Chinese models.
Regards,
Luigi
Hello RidzVarn, unfortunately I read your post too late... :'(
I also flashed Lenovo_S856_ROW_S138_141113 because the stock ROM was the Chinese one. While the OS is far more stable and polished now, 3G/LTE functionality now is gone... GSM radio signal is also less stable than before.
I'm desperately trying to find the original Chinese stock ROM so as to backup MRD and Parameters but... no way, only ROW firmwares out there.
I'm wondering whether your phone is the same Chinese LTE version (MSM8926 CPU, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB ROM) of mine and, if you saved those MRD and Parameters data, you want/can share them with me in order to allow me to bring 3G/LTE functionalities back.
Thank you in advance,
Luigi

Hi Luigi,
Apparently, I'm not very sure if my S856 is China Set or not ( but well.. specs are same with yours though ). You can try to restore this MRD and Parameters backup files onto your phone.
Backup your own modem files first and copy paste them into separate folder ( e.g : 'sdfuse-backup' ) in case something going wrong.
Download here ( Google Drive )
Good Luck

Hi RidzVarn,
sorry for the late reply. Actually I managed to take those files out from a stock Chinese ROM, but simply saving/restoring them through the Service Menu doesn't do the job. I guess there are other file and settings in /system and/or in other partitions that are needed in order to make modem working.
In the end, I just reflashed a Chinese ROM flashing also GApps and SuperSU through TWRP, and I'm fine with the result.
I'd like to thank you, however, for your efforts to help me in sorting the issue out -- it was very kind of you.
Best wishes,
Luigi

Please try to:
pull the battery out;
wait 20-30 seconds;
plug the battery in;
plug the USB cable to the PC end only;
and keeping pressed Volume-Down...;
... plug also the microUSB connector to the phone;
release the Volume Down after 3-5 seconds;
check via Device Manager if a 'Bulk' interface has been detected.
If not, retry the same procedure but keep pressing the Volume-Up, this time.
If the Bulk interface got detected by Windows, use the MiFlash tool to flash your favourite firmware again.
Remember to disable the Windows' 'Driver Signature Enforcement' at the boot-up, and disable also any Host-IPS and Antivirus running on your machine.
Hope this can help.

Hi dxshah,
Weeww.. That's quiet buthurted. You can try to fix it using MiFlash tools as said by Luigi.
Always take a pre-caution step before flashing/updating ROM. Make sure your battery is at 80% and above or just plug in the charger while doing live update.[emoji1]
Thanks Luigi for your post, I didn't know and haven't discover that steps yet. Will try to find out more about MiFlash tools[emoji106] [emoji1]

Did you flash a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP)?
If so, restore the stock recovery first, and then try again.

Hi Pjajiro,
Where did u put that .qsb file? Actually, you have to create a 'new folder' in your sdcard root and rename it to 'sdfuse' and put the ROM qsb file in it. And try again. [emoji1]
My apologies, I have forgot to include that step in this thread, and will edit the line asap.
If you still get the same error, then it might be caused from ROM itself. Maybe its not for your device.

md1_db and ap_db files gretel A7
md1_db and ap_db files. Are there ways to get them somehow. I lost my IMEI and trying to write it with SN writer, but manufacturer did not send me those files, just tool.
Menaged to restore IMEI. Engineering mode doesn't work because there is no CDS settimg. SN writer also not working because of mentioned files missing.
At the end I had to root device, install mobile uncle apk and another tool within mobile uncla app and write it from there.

Hi, I have a gretel a7 cell phone that keeps restarting and showing the message "interf sist stopped" I would like to know if the rom made available in this topic is multi-languages, since I am Brazilian, and if following your tutorial I can use the cell again.
I appreciate the attention

Yes it is multi-language, you can follow the tutorial without any issue.
Just pay attention to keep an EMEI. Don't select download only, ot format+download. Keep it on firmware upgrade!

Hi,
My father have the same phone, and the same issues. I plan to flash the stock ROM and root it.
Which apps have you removed (pretty important, cause I can access to the phone just for some days, when I visit him) ?
And how ? Something like root uninstaller can do the trick ?
Thanks a lot
First you have to flash ROM.
NOTICE:
1.before connecting phone to PS always remove battery
2.Doing "Firmware upgrade" will not work, "Download only" also not working. Do "Format all". This will erase your IMEI, but after flashing and rooting you can install Chamelephon from Play Store and write your IMEI.
I did it with:
ROM：
https://mega.nz/#!NPg1HCCB!mUNgc-hLdwF1V-2XDw71iB1Shb201v2yc2JkK4LWezE
Tool:

There are rooting instructions for rooting with TWRP through Recovery mode, in Power point on this Forum but can't find it right now. After rooting install Unninstall app from Play Store and it would suggest what apps you could unninstall. As i remember there are apps like Medias and com.android.com.service, and so. You should even delete it in file manager if located.
AND VERY IMPORTANT, if you ever try to sign in vit another Google account, or new account to your device, medias will emerge again, so you need to erase it again. It seems that it is a bug that appears with signing in to Google.

Thanks a lot for your time
What exactly do you mean by :
before connecting to PS (<= is for SP Flash Tool ?) always remove the battery (it's seem also unclear in the ppt, at a certain point, it's said to turn off the phone, then connect it for doing things with SP Flash Tool, then turn on by pressing Volume Up and Power Buttons. Is it right than we have to do it with the phone off ? And without battery like you suggest or we just remove the battery for a complet reset, and put it back when connecting to SP flash Tool, or let it remove when using SP ?)
com.android.service seems effectively a part of the problems, it appears in android warning message he receives. It could be usefull to create a list of apps than could safely be remove, for fixing the adware issues, I will do it, but I certainly not doing it before some weeks, I don't have the phone right now.
Thanks for the IEMI trick, I didn't know than an IEMI could be delete so easily.

It is a typing mistake, I ment PC. When connecting phone to the PC with USB you need to remove the battery first (it doesn's say so in the instructions), because if the battery is inside the phone will start charging and connecting to PC like external drive and na Flash can't be performed. When formating and flashing with SP tool is done, than you can disconnect from PC, insert battery, and Root with instructions below through Recovery mode.
Here are a Root instructions
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NJcDBkLk8zMwyv2BTqRjn2NB_ZOWKjP1fRpSVr44Oxk/edit#slide=id.p
This adds popup, and background ram eating processes are a common problem with cheap smartphones from alixpress. There are several "cleaned" ROM-s from PDA developers for Gretel A7, but I didn't want to risk because the phone is now working fine, no bugs etc. Only thing that is pain in the ... is a proximity sensor that doesn't work, and it seems to be a hardware issue, so i need to manually turn off screen after answering the call.
