[q] need original rom spice-mi700 build 5012_3_16p

Hi
I wonder if anyone here can help me out, I just damage the original rom of my Spice Mi700 build 5012_3_16P (Indonesian Version) I cant make a phone call, browse internet, etc. Now I need the original ROM of it to flash it back to my device. I couldn't go to the store to get it fix cause i'm too far away from the store (needs 2 flights to get there).
So if anyone here got the device and can dump the clean ROM for me or if anyone had the original ROM would you please share it to me??
BIG THANKS,
ps: mods, if this is the wrong place to ask please move it to the right place, tq.

Did u tried to flash a custom ROM or damaged it while using?
Before flashing try factory reset ur device.Follow the steps below.
---->IF U CAN BOOT INTO RECOVERY VIA KEY THEN SKIP THE 1) N 2) 3) STEP.
IF NOT THEN FOLLOW ALL THE 4 STEPS.
1)Turn on ur pc n search for quick boot app on the internet.
2)Install it run it.
3)Select the recovery boot.(This will boot ur device with inbuilt recovery mode present in ur device.)
4)Then select the wipe date or factory reset something like that.
Wait until it is finished.Then reboot ur device n check weather the prob is solved or not.
Here's the quick boot app:
I am not allowed to post link but here's the path for it:
Google for quickboot.apk u will see the mediafire link download it.

Thanks for the reply,
I have done repairing the device, I search all over the net finnally I have solution flash back using custom ROM.
Here's what happen that make my OS broken, at the time my phone was temporary rooted, then I do a Factory Reset (while it still rooted). After the reset there's when a lot of my device features can't be use. I can't make a phone call, lost my browser, can't install apps, my builtin file browser was not installed. So I'm almost can not do anything. I even tried to install the apps using ADB and still failed. So in my confusion status i search here the any possibilities to fix it, what i found is a custom ROM but its for 5012_3_16I (mine is 16P). I'm afraid it will not work for my device. But anyway what's the worst it can be, so i do this way :
1. Install clokwordrecovery.img
2. Reboot to the recovery (using adb commands)
3. Backup the last state of my device
4. Then install the custom ROM from this XDA (i cannot post a link too, just search it with a thread title "[REQ] Developers Interest NEEDED: Samsung Tab Alternative - Spice Mi700 DroidPad")
5. Aaannnndddd it works, my phone got all the function back.
6. Oooo, I also overclock the Proc to 864mhz (using a solution from the neighbours forum)
7. I found out about yaffs2expert in the market.
8. Using yaffs tool I extract the system img from my backup files earlier
9. I remove the folder system and boot.img in the custom ROM that i got before and change it with my extracted folder from the extracted img and the backup boot.img too (the original backup boot.img was not extracted).
10. I compressed it using zip
11. Using recovery mod install the ROM that i have just build before.
12. And again it now back to its original (like new from the store) state of the device.
13. The proc is still OC to 864mhz.
Do what I have just done is a bad idea (customizing a moded ROM with my original ROM)????
Ok now I have a new problem, everytime I turn the wifi on the device is restarted, is there any solution??
Thanks,

[Tronsmart TS7 - MTK6582] ROOT / CMW Recovery / Stock Rom / Tips

Hi,
there are some different MTK Chipsets in the Tronsmart TS7.
If your device is a MTK6589 take a look at here
For the newer device based on MTK6582 i want to share my experience, mine is a 4GB version:
Root
- Activate USB debugging
- Download the Root Genius from here to your PC
- Start the 'root genius' and root the phone ...
- Install SuperSU
- Install a Filemanager with root permissions
- Move the KingUser.apk at /system/app/ to everywhere for backup or delete it
but don't deinstall the King User App
- Reboot phone
- Start SuperSU -> the SU Binary will get to update (method -> normal)
CWM Recovery
- Download the TS7_4G_CMW.rar from here
- Download the MTK Droid Tool 2.51 (or higher) & start it
- Click the root button -> permit the ADB Shell root access at SuperSU
- Go to 'root, Backup & recovery' -> activate 'To Use boot from phone'
- Click Button 'Recovery & Boot'
- Question "to make CWM recovery automatically ?" -> No
- Select the downloaded Gacier-TS7_130805__recovery_130815-142418.img

Remove the Google-Search-Bar from Homescreen
- Rename/Move/Delete these files, which are located in /system/app

Edit :

I cant flash a new, custom rom, because is rar, and the cwm want zip, and the site is say too: "Copy the update.ZIP to tf card"
where is the zip?

Regarding the new update, what are the changes? Also, I have installed CWM. Is that file compatible with CWM?

update in 1st Posting

Thanks for the guide
However looking at the contents there appears to be a recovery folder. Would it be correct to say that if I were to flash this zip as it is, it will replace my current CWM recovery?
Also, has anyone actually installed the update? Any changes noticed so far?
Sent from my TS7 using xda app-developers app

i have a question regarding the 3g frequencies of the phone:
it says that it supports the 850 wcdma frequency, however someone i spoke to told me that he checked and the phone doesn't support 850, but 900 wcdma instead. can anybody here check it and see if they get the same result?
thanks.

So I managed to put together a update.zip somehow and managed to update the phone. Disappointing thing is I don't see much changes, the phone is still as sluggish as ever. Also, I lost root, and Root Genius can't get back root, so I have restored my CWM backup.
This phone really needs 4.4 Kitkat stat!

The Rom has no upgrade ... because our Tronsmart TS7 this date with the latest version [G820_C1_F1_Tronsmart_V0.2_20131127]
The flash ROM is only necessary to leave the phone to factory settings and remove the ROOT
you should try the VROOT, with this method you do not have to delete the system APK's
Only download and ready SuperSU the application of the Play Store
the procedure in the Post in Spanish of [HTCMania]
The administrator of this post should update the 1st post and add a second method ROOT
EDIT:
In the post HTCMania, is the link of the Rom already signed!
Ready to flash with CWM
I can not post links because I'm new to XDA

[Q] Help: No software installed and can't boot

Hi guys
It has been a long time since my phone has been this bad.
So last night I go to charge my phone because I had ZERO battery. So I turned it on and then plugged it in. The phone booted fine but then I noticed that the screen was not shutting off. I even tried hitting the "Go to sleep" button from the pull down menu and nothing happened. I also realized the phone was not loading my calendar. When I went into the file manager it didn't show SDCARD 1 or 2.
I decided to clear the memory (dalvik + cache) = SAME PROBLEM
I did a factory restore = same problem
Finally I cleared the system = now i have no OPERATING SYSTEM ON THE PHONE
I went to the external sd card and tried to install the latest version of OMNI....IT SAYS IT CANT READ FROM THE SD CARD.
I also tried to copy the file from external sd to internal sd card and it says FAILED
I don't' know what to do...
I am using Team Win Recovery Project 2.6.3.0
I have the latest omni rom on my external sd card. I can see it but install fails.
Please help :crying:

Calm down dear. Same happened with me. I formatted /system and find that I don't have any operating system in my mobile.
Just pluggin your mobile in recovery mode to your PC. transfer the file-> Flash the ROM-> Gapps -> BINGO..
BTW, wrong area for creating a thread.

Don't worry. Do what D™ said.
Alternatively you can use "adb sideload" method. I used it once with Philz recovery. In sideload method, you won't need to copy the file in Sdcard. File existing on pc can be directly flashed. This would help if you still face problems copying file to Sdcard. Search it on google. You will find steps for it.

A bit more clear please...

Hey
Ok I am a bit calmer knowing I didn't brick my phone or anything...
But when I connect my phone to my computer I know it is connected (I see GTi9103 in device manager with an "!" ) but I cant transfer files.
Could someone provide a link to the adb method or maybe give a bit more advice on this problem..
Thank you guys!

It must installed drivers.. If u cant access the storage, just flash ics via odin and further known actions.

Thanks dude! I will give it a try and post a response! It was just so strange that I couldn't see any of the drives (sdcard 1 or 2) in filemanager. I guess something must have got corrupted? Right now I am trying to push from adb method mentioned from Nikhil.
I am following this procedure.

ADB IS WAY TOO complicated for me right at this moment (actually exhausted).

Download Stock Indian ICS
Btw, adb sideload method is as follows.
0. Install adb for windows (assuming you have windows). (There shouldn't be any driver missing)
1. Enter into sideload mode in recovery
2. Open cmd in computer with the directory in which zip file is kept. (shift + right click -> open command prompt here would do)
3. Enter adb sideload xyz.zip
Thats it.
I've tried it with TWRP recovery in my friend's phone. It didnt work. But When I tried with Philz recovery, It worked well.
Anyway, if you are finding it complicated, flash stock ics.
Edit : Did you try "mount usb storage" in recovery? because it is required to do. else computer won't recognize your device.

success!
OK so I successfully flashed via ODIN....Can I directly flash omni now? I am assuming yes...Can I flash it through ODIN?
Also can you recommend any good versions of ICS? It is really quite a bit faster than omni...
AGAIN thank you all

Omni is best until now.
you can't flash omni via odin. Flash Philz or TWRP first and then flash omni.
Lv5 ZCLPD is best ICS Rom. But I would choose Omni over Lv5,

reinstall twrp?

Reinstall!
Not if you already installed it.
Read OP of discussion thread. Instructions are there. You will find everything you need.

ICS will faster for few days and then it slow down.. hang.. GB is best for our device..

TWRP Lost?

A strange issue that's occurred when I've flashed roms is I lost the ability to access TWRP and Phil's Touch Wiz, etc.
I'm not to sure as to why it happens, but I always end up having to repeat the whole rooting process again. IE, downgrading to Jellybean. Does anybody know why such a thing happens? And is it possible to install Recovery once you're on Lollipop with a rooted device?

I had found a TWRP version for 5.0.1 and just installed it with flashtool, but I can't find it again now that I upgraded to 5.1.1. I've also posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/whats-to-install-recovery-z3-t3176512

I had the same problem myself and not one reply-wtf. Just grab the latest (Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer.zip) from http://nut.xperia-files.com/. Extract to your pc desktop. With phone on (not lockscreen), run the install.bat file. It will tell you to plug phone in and once recognized, phone will reboot with a proper working xzdr.

Thanks a lot, man. Gonna try that out as soon as I grt some free time.

Had the same issue with 5.1.1.
So far I think I've fixed it using the following steps:
1.- Downloaded SuperSU and copied to the internal storage
2.- Flash dual recovery using NUT's windows installer
3.- Once inside recovery, flash SuperSU
4.- Boot into the system and with a file explorer copied the XZDualRecovery from external storage to internal storage.
Haven't had an issue so far.

How to root samsung galaxy a8(sm-a8000) chinese and install google playstore

Hello guys!
Today i am going to show you how to root samsung galaxy A8(mentioned above) install twrp and then lastly install playstore on it without any troubles!
The problems i faced was so much critical and step by step i faced bugs and fixed them accordingly.
so we come to main topic now.
first of all reset your phone. thats because a frash phone is always perfect. btw non resetted phone also works here.
1) Now download the app in the link below called CROM_Service. open it and just wait it will unlock your bootloader.
2) Now u need drivers. download them also in the link and install on your windows 10 pc. Boot your phone in download mode by pressing home+volume down+power button. in chinese font screen press volume up and then connect you phone with pc using a fairly working usb 2.0 cable.
3) Now download CF_ROOT in the link below and and put in your worling folder better name that folder your phone name cause we always work in this folder. extract files in there. Now open Odin in that foler as admin and click AP and load the md5 file in same folder. and click start. this will flash root and restart device with a modified kernal.

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for my problem but I will give it a try. I have a problem with TWRP recovery on sm-a8000 Chinese version.
Every time I try to flash any zips it fails.
Error 70 failed to mount preload (invalid argument ) I can't do factory reset either in . I'm able to root the phone and the phone works normally except for the custom recovery.
I tried to do factory reset in original recovery and it worked.
My aim is to install Google play apps.
Here are some pictures of the recovery result. My internal memory is only 3Mb in the recovery but if I connect the phone to my computer it shows 10Gb free.
Any idea what's going on?

hey,did you hv any rom of that model (sm-A8000)?
