In all Galaxy family there is this code to see the firmware version of the camera

You can see that the "phone to cam" options are darker and you can´t select them.
When you click on the first option, the "version check" you can see that it isn´t updated
The phone versions are newer than the ones written on the Camera.
Other versiones just need to add a small file called 1q2w3e4r.key to the main memory and then the options to write the new version can be selected without root or any mod, but with this one doesn´t work this way.
Anyone know a way to do it?
I have the same data.
Maybe there is a rom that let you write the firmware... some kind of developer rom
Any idea?
I also have this problem with my S6 but I couldn't do anything until now ..maybe some clever guys can help us
I have (still) not rooted or modified my phone and my camera fw is like yours not the same like the phone fw. i dont think its a bug...

Hope so!
With my old s5 it only works with one ROM and a file, but I don't find any for this
I upgraded the firmware and now I have a newer firmware on the phone but the camera still with the original one..
Any idea on this?
Pay attention to LOAD. That's the one that the phone's camera is using. Days of updating camera firmware are over, for the past few years. No need anymore.

So why isn't the same?
On the S3 and S5 it was exactly the same and when you added the correct files and you updated it appears the same on Cam ver. Load ver. and Phone ver.

Also when I add to the phone memory this small file I talked about this is what is happens...
It says: "Update firmware" and the option now appears in dark grey like the others.
The problem is that I don't have the files on the same folder so I can't select the other options and when I say yes to this popup I have to wait few minutes and any update appears.
I think I have the camera firmware files found.
The files are probably stored in:
/system/vendor/firmware
or
/vendor/firmware
In Samsung Stock ROM's.
When I copy the files (include key file) into the root of the internal SD, but they are not recognized.
The both firmware write menus remain dark gray.
Probably the sensor matching files must be identified and renamed.
Sorry for my bad English.

Great!! I think they are the firmware files too!!
I tried but happens the same, maybe we need other rom or a rooted phone.
Hope someone else try it and works to tell us how to do it.
We are in progress!
In older GALAXY models you had to rename the firmware file accordingly.
Only then they were recognized by the system.
One must also choose the correct matching built for the sensor.

Back when these phones were released, you had only cam version and phone version. Which is why we were all on neverending quest to make them same.
Subsequently they have added the load section which compares cam firmware, phone firmware (which is deposited by latest system firmware update) and decides to use latest one.
I guess they did not want users flashing different camera firmwares, from different modules, so they beefed up security on later models, as well removed the need for it, in one fell swoop.
Which is why I said for the past few years in my previous comment.

A track can be :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/camera-firmware-thread-t2832384
It works the same way that in S5 or S6 if I rename them but when I push the update option after 2 minutes updating it still the same.
I think I don't have the correct files..
Same Problem here, but how did you unlock Default FW Write etc.?
They are greyed out (S6 Edge) and if i use the apk´s from MrFhenix the Camera Test wont work at all.
Could maybe someone Save his apk´s - i think it´s because of incompatibility of Kitkat and MM (i´m on 6.0.1)

You can ungrey it by doing the following
Rename "yoursensor modexxx.bin" to CamFW_Main.bin
Rename "yoursensor modelxxx.bin" to CamFW_Companion.bin
You also have to add an empty file called 1q2w3e4r.key
You can create it with a pc, just create a text file name it like that and add .key to the name, it doesnt need to have anything inside.

important from the chinese one is the kernel and related partitions etc from sbf.
so if you restore the system image uploaded with cwm, you just need to flash the chinese boot+recovery+partitions as i think such sbf exists too somewhere in a thread?

thanks for this rom, i love sense.
It's... just beautiful.
i can confirm that https://www.htcsense.com/ work like hell with my defy. it recognize it as a nullxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx phone, but works good.
Can anyone test the quality of the camera in this rom? The DesireHD base had a much better quality on my HD2 with the same Kernel.

Hardware did not change , and currently the Camera apps, need to be modified to support defy resolution at higher res.. so for now its less perfect..
but its maybe even easier to fix than said now.. (when rom is finally released that is)

Hello!
Good links. I tried to read the all 18 pages translated by google, but the translation is not very good.
Could you speak russian?
Must I have such a cable to adjust the IMEI after updating?
On my A3000 version (dual sim android 2.2) the GPS is not working and the other forum explains that this could be solved by a new firmware version...
I speak russian.
those ROM has two problems: GPS Doens't work and Market application defective.
Flashing this ROM might be a huge mistake (IMHO)
Let's wait and see
hi friend, u have found other russian Rom work with a3000 ? Pls send link. Thanks
The A3000 i recently bought has no GPS chip in it, the battery does not charge, and the resistive touchscreen has a large dead spot on it. It seems there are several hundred versions of the A3000 and I doubt the ROMs from one will work on the other because the hardware varies so much.
i have buy this model A3000. Arrive today. The firmware version is
e1000_pxht2 2011/0/22
is rooted ;-)
i think is last firmware found on this forum.... try upgrade your telephone at this firmware.

Hi!
To root the phone use z4root (permanent root. temporary root doesn't work!). Also install TitaniumBackup and backup all applications from phone (WARNING! It is NOT full backup!)
There are good thread at russian forum for flashing this phone, ROMs for it and related problems/bugs. -- http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9519&start=760
If you do not understand Russian and translate.google.com cannot help you, I may provide some essential information from there soon.
First of all, perform full backup of your phone! Otherwise you can lost IMEIs after reflashing OR restoring to initial settings.
For FULL backup of your phone use this manual -- http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?uid=76043&f=31&t=11788&start=0 See text under "Сливаем прошивку" spoiler there.
Backup also content of /nvram forder from phone.
I also recommend you perform backup of all files from phone using tar utility.
Tar you can get there -- http://groomws.info/index.php?title=AndroidNativeBinaries
Copy tar binary to sd-card.
Commands for tar backup:
Code:
su
cat /mnt/sdcard/tar > /data/tar
chmod 0755 /data/tar
/data/tar -cvpf "/mnt/sdcard/rootfs.tar" --same-permissions --same-owner --verify --exclude="/mnt/sdcard/" --exclude="/sys/power/wait_for_fb_wake" -C "/" "./"
Ok !
thank you so much !
No i don't speak russian either chinese !
I'll try in an hour !
@darthtony
Plase use the "Tanks" button next time!
Sorry,
but i've not understood
i need of two different cable?
No. You will need stock cable from phone's kit only.
And what step(s) exactly do you not understand?
i had understood that to flash my phone i need this cable :
item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=8591547110
And i'm searching one !
SP update can't find the com port with the standard cable !
So i'm stucked !
Another thing ! i made the backup with YAFF2 ! it was the only thing i've to do , wasn't it ?
i've also backuped the nvram directory !
Isn't there a way to make the backup with SP update ?
for the rest i hope it is simple !
I install the modem driver when i plug the phone to the PC, then using "SP update" i set the port and the speed , i set the file MT6516_Android_scatter.txt from the rom zip
and if it works ... it works ! xD
another question : would this resolve the GPS problem ?

No! For flashing your phone you DO NOT need flashing cable! "Flashing" cable are used for restoring IMEIs if you did not backup /nvram directory from your phone.
For flashing your phone you can use attached bundle of software and instructions. -- http://us.ua/199217/
This manual explain recovery.img flashing process. For full flashing -- select all .img files from ROM archive (except preloader.img, if it exists).
Archived .DOС-file is in russian, but instructions, contained in it, are simple, so you can use translate.google.com for translation.
If you cannot understand some steps, ask here.
There are also needed modem drivers in this archive. Power off phone, then connect it (powered OFF!) to the computer via usual USB cable. MTK USB modem device will appear FOR 5 SECONDS. After this timeout it will disappear.
You should manually locate folder with this driver in "New Hardware Found" wizard in these 5 seconds and install this driver. Otherwise SP Flash Tool will not found your phone.
Specifying a COM-port number in SP Tool is NOT needed, this program will find phone automatically.

In newest batches of A3000 phones GPS chip is physically absent.
You can check it presence in Factory mode.
Power off phone. Press one of side volume buttons (check each of it, I do not remember exactly) and power button. "Factory mode" text will appear. Then you can go to the underlying menu - GPS test. If you will get "-8" test result -- there is no GPS chip in your phone. If test will pass -- there are no hardware problems with GPS in your phone.

I made the test and it failed !
But if i open google navigator it shows my position !
Also installing another 2 navigator it founds my position ! So i thought that it was a software problem !
Disconnect from WiFi and Bluetooth, pull out both SIM cards and launch your navigation software again.
If it will show your location correctly, it is GPS. Otherwise base-station-based location were used.
You can also use GpsTest software from Android Market.
I disconnected from everything but i forgot that i've only google maps navigator in this time so i've put on WI-fi connection to download the map and then i'm gone where the Wi-fi signal is off !
It indicates my right position !
I've a home wi-fi to connect pc between floors ....
It is enough ?
If you have bought one of these phones from eBay or wherever as I did you will probably be struggling with all the annoying Chinese stuff (unless your Chinese of course) and trying to root and ROM it.
It is NOT possible to brick the MTK65x3 chipset phones so don't worry about breaking it if you have one of these. Some people are saying they have 'soft bricked' their MTK65x3 phones but that is only because they do not have the correct software to do what it is they are trying to do.
There is another method posted on XDA by a chap (or chapette) called 'bn' someone or other but I personally found it a very long winded, badly explained and difficault tutorial. I in no way am suggesting that 'bn' is not professional, he likely knows much more about this stuff than I but I didn't find he was very 'layman' friendly for us folke that need more detailed instructions.
If your reading this 'bn' I mean that with total respect and have a tool I have found called 'MTK ROM Studio' that I was hoping you may be able to help teach us how to use correctly to backup and modify our ROM images.
If anybody wants to ammend or correct anything I write here then please feel free to do so if you are sure of your method. I am not an expert at this but I can tell you how to easily do the following with software I am posting.
1. Root the Chinese MTK phones.
2. Install Uncle_Tools which is simular to Clockwork (CW does not work on some or all of these phones).
3. Uninstall all Chinese stuff from your current ROM at the touch of a button.
4. Download your own scatter.txt from your phone.
5. Download your own firmware information text document
6. Install BusyBox
7. Install Superuser
8. Backup your current ROM to your SD card.
9. Change IMEI 1
10. Change IMEI 2
Download the file I have posted at the bottom of this page and extract (Run) the 'MTKdroidTools_v106.exe' setup file.
The other file, 'ROM Studio' is for those that feel confident in using it to develop some ROM mods or whatever that they will hopefully let us know about. I am not going any further into that without help.
Open the MTKdroidTools folder and start (double click) the green MTKdroidTools.exe icon.
Don't be alarmed that some of the text is mumbo jumbo, just ignore it and read the English bits! I have converted some of the original Russian text to English but if anyone can clean it up please feel free.
In some or all cases (sorry I'm not sure) it may be required for you to pre-flash the recovery.img first. You may as well do this anyway and I have included everything you need in this file MTK65x3_Recovery_Flashing.rar (Sorry I no longer have this software)
The pictures explain it all. I hope this helps you out somewhat.

Are you sure your not using some naffy download manager as the link works fine when I click it.
If your trying to download this on your phone then don't, this is a Windows application that accesses your phone over USB
This mistake arose in Mozilla Firefox 12, Google Chrome 19, Internet Explorer 9, Opera 12 (computers). I suspect that a problem simply in the file name????

Sorry your quite right, a corrupted archive. I have uploaded it to my own website so please try again, it should be fine.
Also I have tried some of the other ROM's for download on here and they are not as good as the pre-installed one on mine. In my opinion your better off just deleting the chinese crap and tweaking your existing ROM.
Oh and I have mixed boot images and data files from different ROM's loads of times and black screened my phone but easily got it back again so I guess you really can't brick these! That's a first for me!
Thanks! Now everything managed to be downloaded!
Hi,
I think by 'bn' you'are talking about BM (Bruno martins, a portugues guy), who posted his work on:
- his website
- eten users forum
I already root my s820 using Unlock Root and installed SuperUser, But wanted to try you proposition, to remove chinese applications...
... but when I download your .rar, "MTKdroidTools_v106.exe" cannot be executed.
Am' I the only one who cannot launch it ?

It exists a update.rar rom for T9199+ devices on the web:
(see on talkingmobi.com/?s=T9199&x=0&y=0, click on T9199 link, then click on the green button)
According to the date release (2011-10-28), I think this is the original rom of our devices.
The Droid Tools is a "7z.SFX.exe" which is basically a self extracting 7zip archive. You should be able to right click it and extract it with WinRar as I can. If not install 7zip and open it with that.
I have just downloaded my upload, extracted it and ran it and it works fine for me.
Droid_Tools_s810_s820_T9199+.rar
You're right : the second try was the good one !
I launched "MTKdroidTools" and created my scatter.txt
After test, It seems that the Root-Shell is obligatory to launch at each session to allow Device access,
But for me, like on your screenshot, the buttons "delete chines apps", "backup" etc... are not clickable...
(see image below)
I already test an other way to make a backup (by the recovery), but it appears several error messages:
"Error: names longer than 100 chars not supported"
is there an other mean to backup our device (perhaps TitaniumBackup... ) ?
Hmm... That's new!
You won't be able to use the Remove Chinese App's / Backup etc untill your phone has sucessfully rooted which is why those buttons are not clickable.
What I can think of to check so far:
1. Have you got USB debugging enabled? If not then turn it on and try again.
2. Pre-Flash the recovery.img by following this and don't forget to install the included drivers! Recovery_Flash as I did that before using this software.
Let me know how you get on!
I have just noticed that the scatter.txt included in my Recovery_Flash link is formatted slightly differently from the one in the phone. Maybe that is why the root works after, I dunno!
It's all Right !!
I had already :
- enabled USB debugging
- pre-flashed the recovery.img proposed by BM
So I just pre-flashed recovery.img using my new scatter.txt (which indeed is a little different that the one proposed by BM)... AND IT RAN ! (see image below)
Asta la vista Chinese App's & hello backup !
I found the original russian post where this "MTKdroidTools_v106.exe" has been proposed; it seems that it will still evolve... !
Cool, glad u got it to go bud.
Drop me a 'Thanks' if you would
Phill.
Question
How do you flash a splash image to the S820?
sparkyuiop said:
There is another method posted on XDA by a chap (or chapette) called 'bn' someone or other but I personally found it a very long winded, badly explained and difficault tutorial. I in no way am suggesting that 'bn' is not professional, he likely knows much more about this stuff than I but I didn't find he was very 'layman' friendly for us folke that need more detailed instructions.
If your reading this 'bn' I mean that with total respect and have a tool I have found called 'MTK ROM Studio' that I was hoping you may be able to help teach us how to use correctly to backup and modify our ROM images.

problem
I have the s820 and I have done the procedure many times to install recovery. Writes ok in the end. I press power + vol+ and not start anything. When you start to retrieve the letters seem too little and the screen is black. I can not make any choices.

Guide to rooting your Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G - I9305 - Optus firmware
Hi Everyone, so I have been spending the last 3 or 4 days trying to work out how I can gain root access on my I9305.
The only thing I was able to find was horror stories of people bricking their devices...
After a lot of research (and quickly learning how android OS images work!) I was able to generate my own custom rom for the i9305.
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Things to note:
THIS IS FOR THE AUSTRALIAN I9305 (OPTUS) SGSIII 4G ONLY! DO NOT FLASH THIS IMAGES TO ANY OTHER DEVICE!!!
I will not be responsible for any damage done to your device or PC(s), flashing custom rom's can be risky, so please be careful!
This will most likely wipe your phone, so make sure you backup first!
This rom is 100% stock, it does not remove any optus apps or branding,
This will NOT give you the yellow triangle at boot
the MD5 sums for the files are below

to check these, download MD5summer from www.md5summer.org
How did I do it?
I originally created an insecure boot image, flashed it to the device and tried to gain root via adb, however this did not work, so I unpacked the system image file, added the nessicary binaries and repacked it.
Once I had done this, I was able to flash the system image with odin.
What do I need to do?
1. Download Odin (you might be able to use heimdall, however I have not tested this!)
https://hotfile.com/dl/173880315/eee04eb/Odin3_1.85.zip.html
2. Download the image (3 parts, zip files)

http://www.renscreations.com/i9305/I9305_XXALI5_root.z02 - Part 3
3. Unzip Odin to an easy to access place (such as your desktop)
4. Unzip the image file to the same directory.
Use either winrar (www.rarlabs.com) or 7-zip (www.7-zip.org) to extract the multi-part zip.
5. Boot your SGS in to download mode
(power off... then press and hold the power + volume down + home buttons at the same time)
6. Connect your phone to your PC using the cable that came with it.
If you are using a laptop make sure you connect it to a port on the machine not the docking station (if you have one). If your machine has USB3 try to avoid using the USB3 ports.
7. Open the Odin application
Make sure your phone is detected, there will be a yellow square in the top left corner (see below screen dump)
8. Make sure it looks similar to the below screen (same options ticked, the .tar file in the 'PDA' section)
9. Press start and wait. Your phone will be flashed and reboot when it is finished.
10. That's It, once the phone has booted you will have root access.
Very clever mick,
Well done.
Amazing work! So with the three zips - best way to join as one?
i use winrar, however you could use 7-zip as well.
www.rarlabs.com or www.7-zip.org
I'll upload these to my own site for faster immediate download for others . I'm currently redownloading part 3 since it seems to be corrupted. Eager to root my phone, thanks for the ROM!
I am willing to bet it will work on any GT-I9305... Even the european one As its exactly like someone flashing A I9300 to a I9300 from australia or a I9300T they all work together I have done it perfectly without a problem.
So I would say All I9305 are the same Overseas and australians... BUT IT HAS TO BE I9305 Model number

Do you need to do any sort of wipe prior to installing?

Cool thanks. So am not famililar with wiping except through CWM - do you just use the Samsung wipe in settings??
Dial *2767*3855# in the stock dialer, that is the quickest way.
but you will get NO warning, the phone will just begin to erase itself, so make sure you are ready!

Yes thanks. And is that a complete format of the SD card or a wipe like the CWM wipes which keep some settings on your SD card?
Anyone else happen to have this phone? The device runs on an MT6572 with 1GB, er, 512MB RAM, a 960x540 display, and comes with a swiveling camera (which is why some vendors would pass it off as an "Oppo" model). Android version is reported to be 4.4.2 Kitkat, API verison 19, but afaik the SOC used tops out at Jellybean, so can anyone confirm this, or is there an app to expose it as a fake?
Here's a snap of my phone:

TWRP image (works on the "Oppo" variants. Should also work on other X-BO V5 ROMs from what I can attest):
Code:
http://d-h.st/6C3j
I did a dump of it just recently (even though there's already ROM images for it; had to do mine as I couldn't seem to find any "Oppo"-branded ones yet). I might do a CWM or TWRP recovery for this in case you guys are interested in customising the device in some way, or perhaps even port the ColorOS UI to it for maximum lulz.
EDIT: I couldn't find any hidden settings applets to toggle between device spec options (i.e. fake 4G/RAM/boot logo, etc) other than a "flash select" menu to change the reported internal storage size, but the following properties are confirmed to work:
Code:
persist.sys.changeain (use numbers 1 to 7 to cycle between animations)
persist.sys.signaltype (setting this to "normal" sans quotes displays the actual cellular radio type instead of forcing the UI to display either 3G or 4G)
persist.sys.devicememory (yep, it's for faking the internal memory size. Couldn't force it to display the real capacity for some reason [EDIT: Set it to "true" sans quotes for the phone to report the real capacity])
Hi I bought same mobile in Bangkok...let me know how to insert sim and in which slots??? when i insert sim mobile was detecting service provide and displaying as 4G beside signal bar and unable to make calls etc

Have you tried checking the IMEIs on the phone? I could send you an NVRAM bin backup if that one's hosed i.e. you're getting invalid serial numbers.
Seems like some variants appear to be infected with com.android.ys.services or the ZZPush trojan. In my case it's embedded in /system/priv-app. Not sure if it's the only gremlin residing or if the manufacturer was making a fool of themselves by further infecting the firmware by integrating it deeply into the boot partition as what I attested with a friend's Allwinner tablet:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...e805058f3d85381d215ca778/analysis/1458692140/
Sorry for the triple-post, but thought I might ask if anyone knows how to force the gradient status bar on later firmware revisions. I'd like to use the "S9_72KK_KK_3G_EMMC_32_4_XX_V36_ZXMD 20160116-153508 – yuanda72_cwet_kk-user 4.4.2 KOT49H" build as it has the option to show the actual RAM and /sdcard capacities, yet for some reason the gradient-style status bar doesn't show up whenever I use a third-party launcher.
Trebuchet on stock ROM:
Apex/Trebuchet/whatever on later builds:
Oh and I've also attached a small utility to change the faked device settings to their real values - special thanks to @hrk for the code I used to issue setprop and a bunch of other commands.
The app did not work
Is the app supposed to work, cause my phone is rooted but still the fake values remain.

Strange, it worked on my end and I was able to change the faked storage and cellular modem values to their real equivalents on my phone. Can you give me your phone's firmware build number? Also, if it's running off a later build, can you try updating SuperSU and the su binary to see if my utility works?

Can you tell us your phone's firmware version? Try deleting android_service_800000_0923_outsea.apk,the default launcher and the theme app (forgot the name of that one, let me look for it in a bit) off /system/priv-app then restart your phone. I don't have the phone with me unfortunately.

You can try flashing a stock firmware image to it. It shouldn't be that hard to do so, and there are links to said ROM on NeedROM too.
