[ROM] Custom Roms For the GoGear Connect 3 8Gb

as I have promised here is are the first 3 custom ROMs for the gogear connect 3 8gb. if there is interest i will work on a few ROMs for the 16gb version also.
The way of installing roms on this device is a little different than most people are used to so i have included instructions
(with pictures this time!) but because of this way to do it it also makes this device almost brick proof and easy to fix.
before we start make sure your battery is at least charged 50%
THIS WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR DATA EVEN THE STUFF ON THE "SD CARD"
In this guide i will be using the AndroidGeneric Rom for the example.
be sure to look in the rom package to see if i have given any extra instructions for the specific rom
1. Download the MfgTool Package at the bottom of this post. also download the rom package you wish to install.
2. extract the MfgTool Package somewhere onto your computer
3. extract the rom Package somewhere on your computer also.
4. now take the actual rom folder (in this case the AndroidGeneric folder) and put it into the profiles folder in MFG tool folder
5. Turn off your MP3 Player Compleatly
6. now with your player still turned off hold Volume Up and plug it into your computer.
7. dont let go of Volume Up untill a new device named SE Blank ELVIS shows up on your computer

}
8. install the driver located in the Drivers folder inside the MfgTools Folder (the driver isnt signed so you have to click a popup allowing it to install, x64 users may need to turn off driver signing to get this to work)
9. After Thats Done open MfgTool.exe
10. once Mfg tool is open click on the Options drop down menu from the menu bar and click Configuration
11. in the window that pops up Select the USB Ports tab. then scroll down the menu untill you find "Freescale i.MX51 USB BulkIO Device" and put a check mark in the check box next to it. then select ok.
12. now your back to the Mfg tool main window. Check the Profile drop down menu to make sure it is on the rom you want. then hit start.
13. it will install the rom you selected. when you get to the part where it says "please connect device" and the stop button is red it is done installing. hit the stop button and unplug your mp3 player from the computer.
14. turn on your mp3 player with its new rom. it may take a little bit longer than usual to start up but thats only because its for the first time.
15. you are done unless there are more instructions with the rom.
for people that have already done this, here is a set of instructions to install differant roms
1. extract the rom Package somewhere on your computer.
2. now take the actual rom folder (in this case the AndroidGeneric folder) and put it into the profiles folder in MFG tool folder
3. Turn off your MP3 Player Compleatly
4. now with your player still turned off hold Volume Up and plug it into your computer using the same usb port that you used the first time
5. dont let go of Volume Up untill you hear the beep of the computer recognizing the device.
9. After Thats Done open MfgTool.exe
12.Check the Profile drop down menu to make sure it is on the rom you want. then hit start.
13. it will install the rom you selected. when you get to the part where it says "please connect device" and the stop button is red it is done installing. hit the stop button and unplug your mp3 player from the computer.
14. turn on your mp3 player with its new rom. it may take a little bit longer than usual to start up but thats only because its for the first time.
15. you are done unless there are more instructions with the rom.
Here Are the Files:

Custom rom AndroidGeneric with root and all the gogear modifications removed and the regular android files installed.(regular android boot screen also) (radio app is from original rom)
Download
Original Rom with Root

Original Rom With Root and all the bloatware removed

Do I need to be rooted already to follow these steps or it doesn't matter?

you dont need to be rooted this can be used as an alternative to rooting

thanks for the guide im rooted running stock rom minus bloat that u uploaded

im working on a pretty cool ROM. ill release it when i get all the bugs out. it will be completely different from the roms i have posted so far. im working on a mix between the honeycomb blue accents and ipod touch styling with the page transitions form ICS.and custom fonts. im using the MUIUI Music app to give it a mor ipod touch feel. when im done testing the rom ill post it up here for you guys.

at this moment in time i am unable to continue in develpoment on the device i had to sell it because of some financial issues. i will post the rom i made as it stood the day i sold the device. it was a pretty good rom and it was pretty straight foward. i will post it online within the next few days

I have a 16GB version and would love to install a custom ROM on it. Please count me ad interested in getting a 16GB version. I am also running a 64bit Version of Windows, does your guide support this, or only 32bit systems?

thanks! this gogear is my first android device.. i am currently running your -bloat rom. i would like to create my own roms. i was wondering though how is it you create these rom?? is there a tutorial somewhere about this?

Thank you for creating these ROMS. Can you confirm what build they are based off of?
The latest build from Phillips is:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.3-00054-g1e2e42c
Build Number: GGC3.01.06.10
I am guessing that your builds are based off of these, but would like to make sure before I flash something. (This is good info to have in the OP in some form.)

Have one coming
When I get mines on the 12th ogf february i may see if i can make roms

you need a linux computer and the android sdk to develope and the adb drivers installed.

After following this guide, my GGC became bricked
MfgTool would stop at "Formatting op6 partition" before showing me "Update error -65535-" and after unplugging/plugging back in it shows up as "Linux File-Stor Gadget" and I can't access it from Windows because it says "Please insert a disk into drive X:" (I changed the drive letter so I wouldn't get confused)
It turns on but doesn't get past the Philips logo. I tried repairing it with songbird but I always ends with an unexplained error.
I tried flashing it with mateo1212's OriginalRooted and AndroidGeneric roms as well as the original GGC3 rom found in C:/Program Files/Philips/Philips Songbird Resources/Firmware/SA3CNT/SA3CNT.zip (extracted the archive to MfgTool/Profiles and named it SA3CNT) and still no luck, ending in the same error mentioned above.
Can anyone help? Philips is already sending me a replacement (I played dumb with them) but if I could save this one it would be great...

Can anyone help me with this? I`m doing everything as the instructions say, but the MfgTool wont update the rom.
It starts working on the device, but gets stuck on error message (operation time out). After that it starts all over by itself.
One possible reason could be that the mfgtool version provided here was not working properly on my win7 (64bit). To solve this I downloaded another version of the program form the authors website.
The reason I had to change version was that the mfgtool crashed everytime I entered the "configuration" menu and the "usb ports" submenu.
All the help is much appreciated!

yep

Hi,
I also want to change rom but after reading you, I'm afraid now.
Have you take a look to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396085
It says on the first post that:
I Have Figured out how to unbrick and flash this device if you have Messed it up while having root privileges. this method can also be used to install custom roms once some are made. if people need the repair/flash method or wanna work on roms let me know in the comments and i will post the files and guides needed for it.

Good luck.

I am new to this forum and normally would not dream of rooting so I have printed the instructions and thoughly read them. I wish to use the Original ROM rooted and with bloatware removed. I understand the instructions except for step 8. How do I install the driver?
Anyone know why some people report failure and bricked devices? I would hate for this to go wrong!

Where is everyone?

Hi, just follow the guideline it will be ok, as to step 8, in the device manager you should right click the SE Blank ELVIS and manually install the driver, wait a moment it will successfully install the driver, after that you can follow next step.
By the way, I just flashed under Win7 64, everything went smoothly when just follow the guideline. Thank you mateo1212!

For people with bricks because of this
PPl don't be scared if you get bricked, i try at first and i got bricked, my device was in a loop and did not start, at the beginning just was showing a black screen then i tried to turn it on and it was in a loop.But i manage to recover it! This is what i did to recover it:
Download the mfgtool provided in this post.
Download the android files to flash provided also here
Put the device in flash mode or whatever is called the state when you power on the device with the volume up key pressed. ( for me this was specially hard since it was doing a loop, what i did was to push the reset button with a needle, then as soon as release the reset, push the power button and the volume up, and then connect the usb cable... create your own way to do it, just keep in mind you need to have your device booted in this kind of service mode ( vol up and power) before proceed.
Then just click on start and wait... it did it successfully this time...
Obviously you need to put your rom folder in profiles and everything just as explained in this guide.
THANKS, I UPDATED MY DEVICE WITH ROOT! :cyclops:

In my case it failed just after it erase everything with no reason, however the same method worked the second time so i think is not risky to try, you are going to be able to install it eventually following this method. For more info see my other post. Cheers.

[Q] How do I root Lenovo S890 (/get MT6577 drivers installed on Win7x64?)

I searched the forums but couldn't find any answers. This is the first time I'm trying to root an android phone. Things are not going well..
I found a page in Indonesian with instruction on how to root my sister's Lenovo S890. My dad bought her one in China, we live in Europe.
We need to get all the Chinese stuff off and install a "regular" Android version with a normal marketplace (read: whatsapp and google and nothing blocked).
The page with instructions is at http://www.duniaku.net/2013/03/30/u...rtisi-internal-storage-lenovo-ideaphone-s890/ I used Google Translate.
What are the steps? First you need to set up some files such as drivers are required to carry out the process of flashing, SP Flash Tool version 3.1222 or higher, because Lenny chipset MTK6577 S890, S890 and file TWRP to also file a Super User and Busybox will be pushed into the system through TWRP. All the files you can download from the following link:
1 Download Driver Lenovo : Extract file. rar it and then click Install_Driver.exe to install drivers into the system. Rather long process, just wait.
2 Download SP Flash Tool : The author gave the newer version, which v3.1224.01. .
3 Download Team Win Recovery Project : TWRP file is specific to the Lenovo S890, so do not try for another Android, although it also MediaTek chipset.
4 Download Super User and Busybox : Will we push into the system through TWRP custom recovery. Download and copy directly to SD Storage / Memory Cards-mu. Place it outside the / root folder or USB Storage Storage SD / USB storage from your Lenovo S890.
5 Download Data Repartition : This file is optional, just download and place it in the root folder Storage SD / USB Storage. Can later be used to repartition the internal memory is too small Lenovo S890. Author will explain at the bottom.

I first installed the Lenovo S890 drivers. Clicked "Install anyway" for everything and rebooted. No problems.
But when I connect the phone it's still complaining that it can't find drivers (and I can't find any official drivers on the Lenovo website either)?
I also installed the MT6577 USB VCOM drivers that I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206421 (before I did this the SP Flash Tool did nothing).
I enabled USB Debugging mode on the phone, and took out the SIM, the SD card and the battery when I connect it to USB to the PC. I am running Win7x64.
Every time I try to run (step 2) SP Flash tool, it starts downloading fine, but then Win7 'spits out' the phone (I can hear the 'usb device disconnected' sound) and SP Flash Tool obviously stops working then and gives some error.
I think this is because the MediaTek MT6577 USB VCOM drivers somehow refuse to install correctly? It looks like rooting might go well once this driver thing is fixed?
When I force installation of the drivers I get a Code 10 error and a yellow triangle next to the Preloader and the MediaTEL Vcom something USB driver in Windows Device Manager. ( I searched the forums and didn't find a solution for this).
I forced installation by opening Device Manager, click Add, click Add Legacy Hardware - manual - choose the usb2ser_Win764.info file out of the MT6577 USB VCOM drivers folder
This is what's in the .inf file : Is there anything I can change here to force it to work?

How do I stop Windows from ejecting the phone (force it to keep it connected as the MediaTek thingie that seems to work with SP Flash Tool?).
Or is there a better way to get an English Android version on this phone?
When I now try to boot the phone it says
tool dl image fail
uboot is blocking by dl info
Did I (soft)brick it??
Thanks in advance for all the help!!

Giving up
Since this seems to be a less popular phone with very little support available - I'm giving up.
Spent 3 full days on this thing with no results, and I just read the GPS also won't work outside of China either.
Now all I need to do is figure out how to get it out of META mode or Factory mode, and get it to boot back into it's normal Chinese Android system.

Hi, I'm having a much similar problem, since I couldn't flash recovery with SP flash tool, the process was terminated unexpectedly showing error message s_ft_need_download_all_fail (4050), after a couple of days looking for a solution I decided to format the phone with SP Flash Tool, and it worked, right after I tried to flas recovery again...and it worked. I thought I had found the way but when I tried to boot the phone in recovery mode nothing happened, no matter what keys combination I use, how long I press them, the phone just won't react, it doesn't show anything on the screen.
I don't know if this was the logic step to follow, but if you want to try and discover what to do next, up to you, 4 hands are better than 2,maybe yuo find the solution.
Good luck.

There is no button combination to boot recovery, try droidgram-reboot on play store.

[GUIDE I9500] [SOLVED] MTP device driver error 10 FIX

Please notice: this has been done on i9500 device. you can try it on your i9505 it 100% not dangerous, but I dont know if its working
Well im using i9500 custom rum running android 4.2.2 and I had a problem: whenever i connect my phone to PC it says: "unknown device MTP device driver error 10 device can not start."
METHOD 1:
**make sure your device is disconnected from the PC.
** make sure that usb debugging is enabled (go to 'developer mode')
1) Open Xposed Installer and go to Framework and UNINSTALL it.
2) reboot your phone. (NOT soft reboot- full one).
3) On your PC, go to "driver manager" and under "universal drivers" section, delete "unknown device". (right click-> delete)
4) restart your PC.
5) connect your PC to the computer, it should work now.
6) you can now reinstall Xposed module. reboot your phone (again- not soft reboot) and reconnect it to your PC just to make sure its still working)
METHOD 2:
STEP 1
**MOST CRITICAL: Update ALL your PC drivers using driver software I personally use 'advanced optimizer pro'. UPDATE YOUR BIOS AS WELL! [/COLOR]
- Update drivers using a software.
-Update your bios.
-Download windows updates (start->type 'windows update' in search bar, click on 'windows update'-> 'check for updates'. dont forget to check optional update as well').
dont forget to restart!
now after you are sure both bios and drivers are up to date, try the following
STEP 2/2
- I downloaded and installed samsung drivers
-Try to connect your phone with ANOTHER cable.
-Try to connect your phone to ANOTHER port (this can indicates where the problem is: maybe the cable/port is corrupt)
-I tried deleting ALL samsung drivers and reinstall
-tried connecting my old s1 i9000. try to connect another phone to see where is the problem- phone or maybe computer.
-try to connect phone while its in 'download mode' and recovery mode.
-try running windows error kit.
-download Android ToolKit.
- if non of the above are working, you can always try FULL WIPE+ REFLASH ROM . (or try flashing another rom).
*if its still not working ever after performing all the steps above under method 2, try restart your PC and try Method 1 AGAIN WITH A DIFFERENT PORT AND CABLE. there might be a chance that you have a 'combined' problem (several issues that preventing from your MTP driver to work properly.
After downloading drivers you can be sure 100% ALL YOUR PC DRIVERS ARE PERFECT, try Method 1 again.
METHOD 3
***Coming soon on next update
worked for me with:
custom android 4.2.2 OzcanRom all version including v5.0 according to sep 20 2014.
stock kernel. no system files have been ever modified
working with android 4.1 and above.
Windows 7 SP1 64bit Updated Sep10 2014.

Hi!
on method 1. under device manager, I can't seem to find the UNIVERSAL DRIVER. are you refering to Universal serial bus controller?
thanks!
Edit: sorry I thought you are referring to device manager. anyway where can i find the driver manager? i'm using windows 7
thanks!

yup im talking about the device manger. i will update the thread soon.
you may find one of the following with an error:
1) universal bus controller.
2) MTP driver failed
try to update both of them or uninstall them

tomorrow i will upload METHOD 3
plus method 4 is on its way..

Method 1 No5 -typo
You will connect your phone to the PC, not the computer to the PC...
Also, updating a BIOS is not straight toward and can cause a bricked pc. Be careful advising people to do that

Soft bricked Panasonic P81

Hi Friends,
This is my first post at XDA.
I unfortunately bricked my Panasonic P81 after rooting it and adding XHalo app and the boot manager app from the Xposed Framework.
The situation is as follows-
I can get to the logo, it screams Panasonic and then doesnt boot. I dont have CWA installed and worse, my SD card which had my stock backup is also lost. This means I need a mechanism to stock recover and perhaps flash boot.img and recovery.img?
I am stuck at this point, not sure how to proceed. I can get to recovery, have cleaned cache, backed up user data ,done a factory reset. Even after factory reset it still cant boot.
Please help me with a step-by-step instruction to recover, this phone is dear to me. How do I flash?(boot.img or rom) I have downloaded Sagar Patel's (good bless him!) backup and the images, but need guidance on how to flash and recover.
Please help friends and apologies for any incovenience. I am still a newbie

Guys please help!!

If you are going to use sp flash tool, Make sure SP flash tool is set to auto-detect com port, not manual selection
If you find that it is driver problem, following may help you.
Please note that there is nothing that much hard in driver installation as it is just to connect your device with your pc but because many users still face problem of driver installation, you can try following tricks!!!
It is observed by me that driver installation and adb interface problem do not happen in windows XP as eventually and generally it is happened in windows 7 and later…so, you can simply try on windows xp if you are able to do so…(you can use dual operating system too!!! Or good relation with neighbor/friends/colleagues/someone/all can be beneficial here!!!)
Note that all tricks here are not necessary to work, but it may still work for you….
Take one by one step, if the first step does not work for you, only then try next step. This is not all steps to be taken at once type guide…This is simply Try and error type tutorial/tricks…
There are following problems I have come to know regarding to driver installation and conflicts:-
Device is charging through usb cable but there is no usb option displaying on either device or no driver installation box/message/pop up appears in pc….
Missing sound of that usb-pc connection
Sound of disconnection after couple of seconds of connection
Adb interface is missing
Ok, sometimes changing usb connection type for example, from mass storage or mtp to camera, ptp, usb tethering or something else can bring adb interface…..
Try with different USB Cable. You can use original nokia or samsung tiny cable instead of cable having long length. Sometimes, length matters!!!!
Try in different USB Port.
Sometimes, you have to disable signature verification in your pc for proper installation of driver.
Had you disabled your antivirus before downloading, installing and while running your tools/softwares? You may need to do so…
Have you installed the software (or say, all associated softwares/tools) in C-System drive?, if not, then you should first install required software/tools in system drive that is usually C drive in Microsoft-Windows OS…or try after installing them on desktop.
Keep all necessary files/tools (driver files, flash tools, rom etc…) on desktop.
Download proper driver According to your model/device, According to chipset inside, According to Official site of manufacturer, Official site of chipset, through PC Suite/flash program of your device…
If the problem still not solve, you should try all available driver packages of your device one by one whether from official site of chipset inside your device, or any forum, adb, pdanet+ or foxfi, universal driver, VCOM Port driver, drivers from hexamob through play store, and find all possible packages and see if someone make positive result after installation…
If the problem still not solve, you should install remaining update packages of your system (PC) including all primary, secondary, essential, Non-essential updates….whatever, just install them all….reboot your pc…and see if problem is solved….
If you can connect the device but somehow found that device driver still not installed properly, just go to device manager in your pc, click on portable device, right click on your device and apply “Update driver”. Click on “automatically search” when a window prompt ask you.
If the problem still persists then,
Just remove all the drivers using usbdeview (I have given link also to download usbdeview in earlier post)
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B511A2txfpAPbmwtQXZqbnVlT1U&usp=sharing
Install usbdeview and remove all the drivers
You can also fix this by showing the nonpresent devices in devicemanagement (google for show nonpresent devices for explanation)
Go to com ports, and delete all mediatek drivers except preloader driver. Now start over. It can help if you choose the same usb port where you had success last time.
Use Usbdeview to uninstall all the drivers before connection, restart the pc, Extract and keep driver zip files and other useful files/tools on desktop…just start your tool… and try to perform your tasks like backup…or restoring the backup…without worrying about that sound of disconnection you may listened after couple of seconds of connection or don’t even worry if you are just missing that sound of usb-pc connection….just try on your tool…
If still problem of driver installation persists, then simply use usbdeview and uninstall all drivers, restart your pc and try following steps:-
There are various ways to install proper drivers at the time of connecting the device with pc depending upon how you connect it.
Follow the procedure both with and without battery
Simply plug in via USB Cable
Connect by holding volume down button
Connect by holding volume up button
Connect by holding Power button
Connect by holding power and volume down
Connect by holding power and volume up
Connect by holding both volume up and down button
Connect by holding thrice volume up, down and power button
Connect by holding power and home button
Connect by holding power and menu button
Remember which method works and which drivers are installed
in LAN-Devices you may have different android device
Select/set drivers by hand and use the mtk usb driver, now Flashtool finds the phone
Suppose holding volume down method without battery works for you then what next you have to do is as below:-
1.TAKE THE BATTERY ,SD ,SIM OUT OF THE PHONE
2.HOLDING VOLUME DOWN CONNECT IT TO PC VIA USB(ONCE YOU HEAR A SOUND FROM PC YOU CAN RELEASE VOLUME DOWN)
3.OPEN DEVICE MANAGER(ON COMPUTER SEARCH IT OR CONTROL PANEL)
4.WAIT FOR 2-3 MINUTES
5.YOU WILL HEAR A SOUND & OTHER DEVICE WILL BE DISPLAYED
6.IN OTHER DEVICES ->MT65XX PRE-LOADER
7.RIGHT CLICK MT65XX PRELOADER
8.UPDATE DRIVER
9.LOCATE THE DRIVERS PROVIDED ACCORDING TO YOUR OS(VISTA,WIN7,XP)
10.IT WILL DO ITS STUFF
Install Mediatek drivers, preloaders, VCOM port etc…
Manually Install MediaTek USB VCOM Drivers
Requirement:-
1. Download MediaTek USB VCOM Drivers
2. Download USBDeview
Here is the link from you can get it:-

Procedure
(* Note: You might need to disable drivers signature verification in Windows for this to work smoothly.
If you want to turn off device driver signing in Windows completely, do the following.
Windows 7:-
1. Hit the Win+R keys together to open the run dialog
2. Type gpedit.msc to open the local groups policy
editor
3. Expand ‘Administrative Templates’ (it’s under ‘User Configuration’)
4. Expand ‘System’. Click ‘driver Installation’
5. In the right panel, double click on ‘Code Signing for Device Drivers’
6. Choose ‘Enabled’ in the window that appears.
7. In the underlying options, choose ‘Ignore’
8. This disables drivers signing in Windows 7, and now you can install unsigned drivers in Windows 7.
9. Click Apply, OK. Restart your computer to install unsigned drivers
Windows 8
1. Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard and press the letter C to open the Charm menu, then click the gear icon (Settings)
2. Click More PC Settings
3. Click General
4. Under Advanced Startup, click Restart Now
Note: In Windows 8.1, the ‘Restart Now’ button has moved to ‘PC Setting -> Update & Recovery -> Recovery.’
5. After restarting, click Troubleshoot
6. Click advanced options
7. Click Windows Startup Settings
8. Click Restart
9. After restarting your computer a second time,
choose Disable driver signature enforcement
from the list by typing the number 7 on your Keyboard Your computer will restart automatically.
10. After restarting, you will be able to install
unsigned drivers normally; however, Windows
will display a warning message. When the
warning appears, click Install this driver
software anyway. )
1. Install USBDeview and use it to uninstall all Vcom, Mediatek and Preloader drivers
1b. Extract the contents of the Mediatek USB VCOM file
2. In Windows, go to Control Panel and open Device Manager
3. Click any of the device groups (any of the items on the list) you see there, and then from Action menu, select Add legacy hardware
4. Add hardware wizard will be opened, click next
5. Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)
6. Click next two times and click Have Disk button
7. Click browse and find where your driver's .inf file is, then select it (the .inf you'll select is located in drivers > USB Vcom driver > your OS) . Ensure to select the 64 bit .inf if your PC is 64 bit
8. Click Open and OK. You will see the drivers listed.
9. Select your driver there (select Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port)
10. Click Next and finish installing
11. If SP flash tool or other software still dont detect your phone then also install Mediatek DA VCOM (consider installing more from the list of drivers one at a time if need be)
Try in different PC
Sometimes windows XP works when windows 7 fails!!!
Case:-
It did the same thing with my MT6577 (Wiko Cink PEAX), so I connected it with a battery and without holding VOL+. Then "MT65xx preloader" appeared in device manager then disappeared (once). It is normal that it disappears. When you start Flash_tool and when you click Download (or whatever you want to do) THEN you connect the phone (in off state), and the flash operation will succeed.
Guess what? Once my Panasonic P81 could install driver and got detected after approx. 5 hours of continuous connection with win 7 x64!!! Meanwhile, I tried first usbdeview and then manually installation of mediatek driver but manual installation had failed as my p81 was only charging when it was connected with pc….So, mediatek – windows 7 conflicts….but, when I tried tiny (very small) nokia usb cable, it works instantly…
If you ever meet problem when you connect your android with your pc via usb cable and find that your android is charging but could not recognize or there isn’t that options of “USB connection” then just disconnect your android, power off it, remove battery, connect it without battery with your pc through usb, let it have some time to recognize your android or hear that voice of “usb connection” you were just missing…after that, insert battery and switch on your android…you are done!!!
Sometimes removing both sim cards and battery and then re-inserting them after a couple of seconds also works.
Try with different USB Cable
Try in different USB Port
Try in different PC
Sometimes windows XP works when windows 7 fails!!!
Use usbdeview to remove all the usb devices and then add your device

In my opinion MIUI is best because it has a self large community like xda and launch updates per month so many that you will fed up installing them.....if you download and install one update you will be amazed that it will say 3 more system updates pending......and if you complain a bug next month it got fixed.....only thing is to find one...
PS don't download the miui 6 for p81..complained by many p81 user that it hard bricked the device.
And that miui is not official i.e. some developer made his own one and DO not tested that it works or not......

[Completed] Kingroot - what a disaster - Blu Studio XL

I made the serious mistake of installing Kingroot which failed installing the first time, then it said try again, then it worked but totally took over every aspect of my phone with no apparent way to delete any of the new "features". It didn't seem to be as much about installing root as it was interested in installing some apps they force you to install which totally takes over your phone. (Side note - it is a shame that this is sold as a rooting software, it should be in reality named a virus or malware and avoided. Too bad for BLU users there doesn't seem to be any other way to attempt a root)
Then installing supersu-me created more havoc, then trying to re-install Kingroot completely locked my phone and put it in a boot loop.
Now upon first attempt, I can't seem to make SP Flash Tool or MTK Droid talk to the phone (first time trying now). I installed all the drivers that came with the forced install .exe (which installs the drivers even when no "unknown device" ever appears in device manager) but I have not yet found any "unknown device" in the Device Manager before or after installing these drivers.
When there is no data cable connected, the recovery menu must be used as the only method to power down the phone because it loops on and on with an attempted power up until the battery runs down. However after using the green on black background recovery menu (hold in VolUp and Power), and making the selection to power down, the phone finally powers down. Unfortunately, as soon as the data cable is inserted into the phone, it begins the boot loop again which makes the laptop ding-dong indicating USB driver loading/unloading over and over.
There are options on the green/black recovery menu to load from SD card and to enable ADB but I can't figure out what driver to use and which option on the green/black recovery to attempt. Of course the factory restore option did nothing and the options for ADB, Fastboot and load from SD card seem promising but all I can find for an image is a RAR file which appears as the format of someone's SP Flash Tool dump, and includes the scatter file MT6582_Android_scatter.txt plus other *.img and *.bin files.
With no way to get into my phone, I don't know how to attempt to load this image which I believe is the extraction from the SP Flash tool. I have installed CDC/ACM driver install package, Google Inc USB, Media Tek usbser from 2011 & 2007, usbvcom and Usbvcom_brom.
Any ideas? Thanks!
