Did you try Superoneclick?
I rooted phone with MT6573 without problem and Unrooted it too. Should work for MT6575 too.
Im running Superoneclick v2.3.3.0 on win7. Im not an expert, but I did like this.
Connect phone on USB, make shure that you have debuging, start superoneclick and click on Root,
I think superoneclik will ask you to instal driver for mt65xx phones....and process will start, it will ask you to install busy box also, and its done after that.
Just tell me if you succeed, I want to buy same phone with totally same ROM, I want to know if its possible to root it.

not working, Superoneclick v2.3.3.0 just for android 2.3.x, thanks.

Ah no!
Ok,just write here if you succeed with anything so I know....
By the way, little of topic, did you try Skype on that one? Is Skype video working?
Thanks!

Dear aviator-hk,
Actually rooting chinese mtk65xx phone is difficult part. We have to try again and again with superoneclick.
Please download SuperOneClick, which is I am using http://www.mediafire.com/?c87n484114171u6
I have added motofail exploit with this.
Tricky part is rooting this phone with SuperOneClick
When superoneclick hangs on 7th step, do as per below instruction.
1. goto phone settings->applications->development->USB debugging uncheck it and recheck it again.
2. now click root again.
If not works, try a couple of time, again and again. you will succeed.
In this method, I have rooted lot of times.
Thats all, your phone will be rooted now, have fun.

Superoneclick 2.3.3.0 still hangs on 7th step, can not root.

I bought phone
same for me, also hangs on step 7, I tried many many times, same result.
On the side of superoneclick I can see its written something about android 2.2 and 2.3, maybe its trying to find directories which doesn't exist because its 4.0.3 android.
Did you also got version with 2Gb internal SD memory? Do you know how to move aplications to aditional SD which you can put in the slot. Applications menu showing only internal memory and internal SD card 2Gb as option to move aplication. 2gb is a lot for apps, but anyway is it not better to have an option to use additional SD card, feels more free....

I succeded!
Its a little tricky....
I used both superuser and one more program
First download root.exe program from
dropbox . c o m /s/6hy3kxhsr8eobid/Root.rar
extract it to desktop
then download usb drivers from
mediafire . c o m /?b4v3gen9735jj
You need to download only "MT6575 USB VCOM drivers.7z"
extract them to any place
Read first, and do later so that you dont miss anything
I don't know If you already tried to root with superoneclick and did superoneclick installed drivers for you? You can check that on device manager, when phone connected and debuging on you should see device "Android phone" and under installed driver something like "ADB compatible device".... and all that without any ! or ? sign. If you have that, jump over step 1. with superoneclick
1. Start superoneclick, connect usb and enable debuging on the phone, click Root! Program will ask you to install ADB driver for you, just click yes and proceed yes on any other question from windows.
superoneclick will hang on step 7 as usual. Just unplug usb and turn off superoneclick, you dont need it anymore.
2. Connect again usb cable to the phone. There must be several ways to do this but I did on this way....
after You connected USB cable start program ROOT.exe
I don't have any idea what is written in Chinese there, but just click ONES on left button(ROOT), it looks like nothing happens but....phone will turn off...and some message will appier again in Chinese on a root program, 3 words... and there is only OK button.Wait with this button.
Now when phone is OFF don't worry about it, look into Device manager on a PC and try to find something like MT65XX preloader driver, should be with yellow question sign next to it.Right click on it and choose update driver. Navigate to your drivers which you extracted before from "MT6575 USB Vcom Driver.7z" and choose folder for win7 if you use win7... Installation of driver should succeed. Phone will probably already start itself under time you installed preloader driver.... don't worry about that.
If phone is started now click on OK button on Chinese program and wait, phone will probably turn off itself again. You will get again Chinese message with 3 words and OK to click but wait with that. It takes little until phone starting itself again, just don't touch anything. After this final restart check phone menu,you should have phone rooted and super user installed if so, remove USB cable. If not, repeat last step.
It was little long explanation I hope you understand.
Now when I did that finally, Im wondering if in case I need to restore my phone and delete google account from it. How can I do it in an easy way? Is it safe to factory reset an rooted phone??

No,you dont need to have anything on the phone, just debuging on, and you need to have drivers installed on pc, for both when phone is ON and when phone is OFF

Tricks when you are using Supper click
if you are using windows 7 run super click as Administrator and when you are unlocking before it hangs remove usb cable and connect it immediately after it has finished installing busy box.

1) Is there any firmware upgrade available for my phone?
My phone info says-
Model - X10i
Firmware - 1.6
Baseband version - 1.0.14
Build number - R1FA014
2) My phone does not have the Android market application inbuilt in it! how & from where do i download that app?
3) How do i install applications downloaded to my computer from Android market, to my phone?
4) I am not able to access Calender since it requires me to log in to my Gmail account. everytime i try to do that, it says "error, try next time"! is there any way i can start the calender without registering?
Thanks.

Hi.
Yes there is, considering a lot of us are running R2BA026, that should give you an idea of how far behind you are.

Personally, I would debrand and update your handset with UK generic FW, which will give you the Market app, which will answer question 3, and as you need to register for the Market to use it, that also answers your 4th question.
1) Install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service).
You can get it from here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1275980198/Update_Service_Setup-2.10.6.21.exe
2) Run SEUS, follow the prompts. You don't need to update the phone through it, but get the phone ready for updating. This process should install the drivers necessary for the rooting process.
Note: I suggest you keep your USB cable attached to that USB port. Remember which USB port of your computer it's attached to, as changing USB ports can lead to a bit of confusion for the next 2 steps!
3) To check if #2 was successful, click on Start, click Run, and type: regedit
In the Registry Editor that pops up, click on Computer, press CTRL+F, and search for this: USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\
After it's finished finding, on the right side you'll see DeviceInstance, then it says REG_SZ, then it says something like USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\5&270d2a78&0&3
You'll need that last bit (in this example: 5&270d2a78&0&3 Yours would probably be different). This is your DeviceID (you'll need it soon!)
Note: You may have multiple of these if you plugged the USB cord into many USB ports on your computer. Each USB port will give a different DeviceID, so if you have more than one DeviceID, you'll have to choose one, and if it doesn't work (you'll find out when you reach #5!) you will have to choose another one.
Alternatively, download the file in the next step and extract it, go to the folder called 1st, and run the DeviceID.jar file. It should give your DeviceID
4) Download this:
http://filevo.com/1nlq8wryo11u.html
or from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/404363083/i_R1FA16_ft.rar.html
Extract it.
In the step1 folder, you'll see a file called DeviceID.txt
Open it up, delete whatever's there, and put YOUR DeviceID (that you found from the previous step).
Save the file and close notepad.
Note: Make sure there are no extra spaces or lines after/before the DeviceID. The ONLY thing that should be in the file is your DeviceID, NO SPACES/LINES (for example, only this: 5&270d2a78&0&3 [yours will probably be different])
5) Take out the USB cable from your phone (leave it plugged into your computer)
Turn your phone OFF
Open up step1.cmd (it's not inside the step1 folder, but outside it), but DON'T PRESS ANYTHING
Now we have to put the phone into flash mode. This is how you do it:
Hold the Back button on your phone, and while holding the back button, insert the USB cable into the phone.
A green light should come on the phone (like when it's charging or a missed call)
Quickly "Press any key to continue..." in the open step1.cmd window.
Let it finish what it's doing. It will say "Press any key to continue..." after it's finished. Until then, DON'T touch anything!
If you get problems in this step, refer to this post:

Here's a helpful video for common java issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713457

Follow those steps and when you've completed them run SEUS which should update you to R2BA026, and give you the Market app. If you run in to any issues read the links provided as the chances are it will be user error if you do.
Thanks a lot buddy.
Will de-branding my phone affect future upgrades to Android 2.1 in any way?
Also, why is de-branding necessary to access calender???

It isn't, but if want to use the Market you are going to need a gmail account.
I tried using SEUS but failed at step 2 itself!
It says press back button while inserting USB cable in phone & keep pressing back button. i did the same & waited & waited for 5 minutes, but no response!
then my finger started hurting & i had to abort the process! does it take so long?

You're not doing it right, should take about 5 seconds for seus to recognise the phone. Try again.
Sorry for the back-to-back posts, but can i update my phone country to India instead of UK? i think Indian X10s do get Android Market. Since i am using the phone here in India & in future would like to get this serviced in india itself, i would prefer my phone to show India in country!
It honestly doesn't matter. I'm in Canada but I'm using a Latin American firmware. But yes, to get it serviced I guess you need it. How about asking someone with the Indian firmware to dump it for you?
That is precisely the reason i am looking for the indian version instead of UK.
None of my friends have a X10 & strangely, even google dint yield any satisfactory results.
I will opt for the UK update only if Indian update is not available.
Also, i am still not able to open the calender using my gmail account. evertime it says "error! try again later" !!!

so did you manage to update to a newer firmware yet? you said a while back that "holding the back button" did not work. You need to have the phone off before you do this step.
1. turn phone off
2. connect usb cable to phone, but not to pc.
3. open SEUS and get to the stage that it says waiting for phone connect.
4. press and hold the back button (which will power your phone on in flash mode) and connect the USB cable to pc.
SEUS should now say "stop pressing back button" or something to that effect.

Nothing like this happens in my case. Dont know whats wrong!
Guys, i managed to install Astro File Manager over the air! i did install a few apps to my comp & then to my phone using AFM but not all apps are available to install on the comp! thats the reason i needed Android Market on my phone.
Also, i dont understand why i cant register to google through my phone as i have to use the phone calender.
Guys, it re-installed SEUS & it detected my phone but i again failed! i am dumb!!!

I reached till here & searched for "USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\" but no files were detected!
then i searched for "USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde" & i found a file which says-
MatchingDeviceId Reg_SZ usb\vid_0fce&Pid_adde
Thats it! no device ID in front of it!

Can you clarify, did you get into flash mode for it to install the drivers?
I re-installed SEUS. then I started SEUS, switched off my phone for 30 secs, connected USB cable to computer, then connected USB cable to phone while pressing the back button & kept pressing the back button until the phone got switched ON.
then SEUS asked me to open Notification bar & turn ON USB. i left the back button & did the same. then the screen showed "X10i connected" & your phone is up to date!
then i tried whatever you had mentioned but it was of no use as mentioned in my post above.
Also, SEUS detects my phone only 1 out of 5 times. the remaining times, it takes soooooo long that i have to abort the process & SEUS hangs!
Also, i have noticed that in my SEUS, in the phone models where you have to select your phone, there are two options, both which look like an X10 with names "X10" & "SO-01B". which one should i select? i tried with X10 but failed. then i tried with SO-01B & it dint detect.
You problem is that seus is not detecting your device..
Soln... User a laptop with win xp or vista or 7 32 bit...
Do a complete uninstall of seus. Clean the registry of any seus entries..
Reinstall seus..
Use a different usb port.
Now try..
The device is an x10 unless you your it from japan which if the case is then it is the so-o1.
If you want dump of indian firmware I can help you but I dont think a dump will be of much use to
You..

I re-installed SEUS. then I started SEUS, switched off my phone for 30 secs, connected USB cable to computer, then connected USB cable to phone while pressing the back button & kept pressing the back button until the phone got switched ON.
then SEUS asked me to open Notification bar & turn ON USB. i left the back button & did the same. then the screen showed "X10i connected" & your phone is up to date!
then i tried whatever you had mentioned but it was of no use as mentioned in my post above.
Also, SEUS detects my phone only 1 out of 5 times. the remaining times, it takes soooooo long that i have to abort the process & SEUS hangs!
Also, i have noticed that in my SEUS, in the phone models where you have to select your phone, there are two options, both which look like an X10 with names "X10" & "SO-01B". which one should i select? i tried with X10 but failed. then i tried with SO-01B & it dint detect.

Do a complete uninstall of seus. Clean the registry of any seus entries..
Reinstall seus..
Use a different usb port.

yes, i would like to have the Indian firmware as that would make servicing my phones in India easier!
Can you tell me the disadvantages of having the Indian firmware when compared to the UK one?
I read that even Indian firmware has Android market & even India is getting a upgrade to Android 2.1 along with UK.
I tried using SEUS with different USB port & my phone was detected but again i found no DEVICE ID! the same thing happened which i have written in Post #14.
Is there any other method to find DEVICE ID? i even tried this-
Alternatively, download the file in the next step and extract it, go to the folder called 1st, and run the DeviceID.jar file. It should give your DeviceID

SEUS doesn't ask you to do that, PC Companion does though. I've never known anyone have such problems getting SEUS to run.

[Q] Bricked after attempting to upgrade to 2.3.5... HELP PLEASE

Hello, I am a newbie Android user and I have been exploring the greatness of the OS for few days now.
Just now I tried to update my firmware to 2.3.5 and followed instruction from a non-xda developer site and little did I know, it messed up my phone big time.
While I was loading all the files (CSC, tar, modem, etc), and I should've known better when the site told me to check the "re partition" box, but I was stupid enough to go along with it.
So Odin got stuck at re-writing the modem or something like that and I had to pull out the battery from the phone.
Now the phone turns on only in recovery mode and none of the recovery choices work, if I choose one it just shows a little green android with white bordered triangle with an orange exclamation mark in the middle.
I can still access the download mode by using conventional button pressing method, but my phone is NO LONGER RECOGNIZED through the USB so I cannot flash the old stock firmware...
Is there a fix for this? If anyone can help me resolve this issue I am willing to compensate very well in return...
Thank you so much for reading my convoluted troubled story, and I really hope to find some resolution in your wisdom.

i dont know if this helps you out buddy but maybe if you read in this thread you might find people that had the same trouble as you..just try and search the thread first and if nothing comes up try and read the first page maybe there you might get an idea on how to unbrick the phone

Thank you.. But I unfortunately did not follow the instructions that is written there I used an external source which told me to check "re partition" which completely messed up the phone, I think. Thank you for your input, though.

i dont want to advice you wrongly but you say you can get into download mode right? if it was my phone i would try and flash again but this time using the proper way to do it....but its down to you my friend i dont want to say do it and it gets worse..
EDIT: apologies i just saw that your usb is not recognised...do you have kies on the background when you flash with odin?
Check this unbricker
android-roms.googlecode.com/files/DREAIMG-RC29.zip
Download DREAIMG-RC29.zip and unzip the file.
Reformat the SD card to FAT32 and copy the DREAIMG.nbh onto it.
Safely eject the SD card.
Put the SD card into your device.
Step 3: Wipe The Phone
Hold home and press the power button.
When you see the image of an ! mark, open your keyboard and press Alt + L if you cannot see any command options.
Do a factory reset by pressing Alt + W or just using the trackball.
When the reset is done, go ahead and hold the camera button and select the reboot system now option with your trackball.
Step 4: Flashing The Phone
Once the grey screen pops up (or the white screen if your phone was rooted with JesusFreke) it will ask you to hit a button to start installing the image…press that button. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO STOP THIS PROCCESS. It will take about 8-12 minutes.
When the image has completed the installation (it will say completed), go ahead and press the green, red, and menu buttons at the same time. The phone will reboot.
And your done! Your phone is now unbricked!.

Ah I see. Could you please help me understand what you mean by "open keyboard?" I just don't see how I could open keyboard on my SGS2 when it isn't recognized by my computer... If you could clarify what you mean by that it will be really appreciated!
So from your information provided, you have a stock recovery and your phone is semi-bricked. You can still boot and your computer won't recognize your phone.
Do you have a jig? What firmware did you flash? You could use a jig to reset the flash counter on the phone and return it for warranty saying that Kies messed up while upgrading firmware. If you've flashed the KI3 with the new bootloader then the jig won't be able to clear the flash counter.
EDIT: Maybe an experienced senior member might come and look at this thread and provide some other solution. Do wait!
EDIT2: Try reinstalling Kies and the drivers. Don't give up just yet!

I don't think that the guide he posted is particularly for galaxy s2 because he also mentioned a trackball...
but if you can go the settings he mentioned you might find something and lead you.
And if you decide to bring the phone to samsung you might want to have a read at Intratechs Official firmware
thread in (Original Android Development)there you can find a bootloader that you can flash so you can use the jig to reset the counter
edit: wow I also failed to read that your computer can't recognise your phone
anymore....
Have you tried to delete the samsung drivers when you go to
your hardware settings?? and let windows find it's drivers again?
Not sure if this will help. I read somewhere someone else with their PC not really recognizing the phone. Someone else advised to unplug the phone and remove the battery then connect to PC insert battery and put it into download mode.
I could be wrong with the method. Its just from my memory.
Also this may make no difference but maybe removing the sim and SD card. Someone will probably call me stupid for suggesting that though.
I wouldn't try that unbrick method mate. That looks like it is an unroot for an old phone..possible the G1 (AKA HTC Dream).
Thanks for all the help... I have been trying to uninstall the driver and reinstall it but no luck. If I could just get the phone to be recognized I think I will be fine, but I just don't know what to do
Thank you for all the suggestions, please keep them coming!
EDIT: this is the guide I used that messed up my phone.. http://androidflip.com/install-andr...-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-installing-guide/
EDIT: Tried to reinstall KIES, no luck. It's like there's nothing on the other side of the USB cord... Not even a sound when I plug the phone in...
If it had been via XDA the instructions are do not do what they are saying .
In Odin Select Re-Partition , Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time
In Odin select these files
For PIT select u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
BIG BIG NO to the above .
As usual some stuff ripped from XDA and some from elsewhere .
My suggestion would be one buy USB jig it hopefully will clear the rom counter and enter download mode .
two in recovery mode go to mounts and storage and format cache data dalvik system and sd card .
Clean phone with nothing on it .Flash stock firmware .

Thanks, I tried to do this but unfortunately the problem persists... What do you think the root of the problem is? I just dont' get it why it won't be recognized anymore.. I feel like I could easily get it to work if I could just get it to become recognized to flash stock firmware....
EDIT: JJE, I would turn it into the service place but I have custom rom count of 4 And I don't have any USB jigs to work with either.... I am still within the 15 days of the phone purchase day, would they be willing to swap my phone?
BUMP, any input would be appreciated...

Factory Reset went terribly wrong!

Hello guys. I have been using ADW Launcher for a long time. After I rooted my Android, I uninstalled the stock launcher cause I thought it was useless... I have been trying to find a way to install a custom ROM on my Android, and found a site where it said before I start, I should do a Factory Reset. I forgot that the FR would delete my ADW Launcher, I did it.
Now, whenever I boot my phone, I am stuck on a black screen instead of my ADW Launcher!
I can't buy a new phone at the moment, so I desperately need your help! I know it was stupid, but please, dont' judge... ;u ;
This is the phone I have: sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/xperia-mini-pro/

Go to a windows pc and do it like here in number 2. You can flash it with flashtool, so connect it to pc while holding volume up! That's it!
Or another one: Did you install cwm? Then you could download the 4.0.A.0.69 zip from here. Then you just go to recovery and click mounts/storage and mount your usb storage. You push the zip to your phone and flash the .zip. Then you are on 4.0.A.0.69, but only do this if you were on Gingerbread before, if you were on ics, just flash your phone with flashtool. Go to a windows pc and flash it
If your pc recognizes phone again you could install cwm with that tool. But better flash the ftf!
What do you mean by "my phone doesn't connect"? Does it charge whn you plug usb? Do the leds light up?
If you really do not have access to a pc there are two other solutions:
Install windows on your mac using bootcamp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
or
Create a vritual machine using virtual box
Enjoy
P.S
Next time you walk into an electronics store take a moment for yourself, breathe calmly, look at all the offers around you and ponder "wouldn't any of these machines that have 3times the power at 1/3 the price of a macbook a far wiser choice?" This should keep you from repeating foolish mistakes. Your parents are very wise at not letting you near a pc.

I already have bootcamp. But, I am trying my hardest to work on a Mac, since I know what to do. And yes, the LED lights, but it doesn't connect!
If you have bootcamp, do you alread have a pc partition set up? why don't you use that?
It is very hard to work on these things from a mac, it's THE rival to the android world so compatibility is the lowest possible.
As far as i know (and the cyanogen wiki goes) there are no simple methods for using flashtools on a mac, so best thing is to use bootcamp and load it from there.
Can you be more specific when you say that your phone "doesn not connect"?

I do have Windows setup.
When I say it doesn't connect, I mean that the LED goes on, it starts charging, but I can't access my SD card, nor can I access the Sony Bridge Mac... So I can't do anything with the phone!
Also, a new problem arose. I can't click home. When I click the home button nothing hgappens!
Do you already have sdk tools installed on you mac?
If not
- go here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html, donwload mac version
- go into /platform tools/ and execute the android file
- in /platform tools/ open cmd window and execute "chmod +x fastboot-mac"
- execute "./adb devices", it should give a response if device is connected properly
-If all the above works then all you need to do is get any launcher.apk, place it in the /platform tools and execute "./adb push launcher.apk /system/app"
-If phone doesn't get recognized by the mac some people reported a problem with easy thether, so in terminal type sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext and check if that solves the issue
This is how to manuall install an app from host. Hope it helps.
Btw, do you have cwm recovery installed? Also does the phone reboot constantly or when you get to final loading it just start giving a constant fc message from home?
Which home button started working? on the phone? Of course it does nothing, if you deleted the home app....
As long as connection works and leds light up phone isn't dead

Alright I am on PC. How do I flash?
Well your only problem was the missing home.apk right? You don't need to reflash the whole firmware if you don't want to...here are the two options anyway:
Requisites: adb drivers. Make sure you have the adb drivers for the phone, if not http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623199
Method 1)
-Download flashtool
-Download your phone's stock firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
-Place ftf file in the programs firmware folder
-Start flashtools, select flash icon, point to the ftf file you downloaded earlier (after selecting flash mode)
-holder volume down button and connect usb (with phone powered off) when flashtools prompts you to
-Wait for installation. Done
Method 2)
-Download sdk tools (as said above)
-Download/extract from any rom or market a launcher.apk
-Put apk into platfrom-tools folder
-Opend a cmd window and navigate to your platform-tools folder
- Type adb device to make sure device is connected and recognized (this time it can be turned on and plugged in)
- type "adb remount"
- type adb push (or install) launcher.apk /system/app/
- reboot
Done

2) the android recovery does not have "install zip from sd card" , so i cant flash cwm and root
so, my tab isnt rooted and I cant flash to a new rom due to above reason

try to uninstall yours device drivers from pc. Do a fresh clean and reinstall em. After that if u can t link your device maybe you have a broken cable.
Anyway u aren y be able to see install to zip option because your device isn t rooted yet and u can do that using odin or twp as i know.
^ what he said...your main problem is getting your tab connected to PC. Either reinstall your drivers or use another cable. Once that's done, Odin flash cwm recovery and then only you can root and install custom ROMs.

1. Do you have correct driver installed ?
2. Did you try using it as OTG with your usb drive whether it connect as storage ?
3. If you can boot to recovery mode , you'll surely have the option "install zip from sd card" .Try look again into it.What's your recovery version ?
4. You can set your PC folder as Sharing samba and put your 10.1 root.zip into your sdcard.Install es explorer and copy the file as LAN wifi router.
5. Manual back to recovery and root it again.
6. Install latest recovery ver via odin again

You don't have the install zip from sdcard because you're recovery is stock...and the old ( update from sdcard option ) on stock recovery was removed in 4.0.4 ICS...So that's out.
Do as above stated and try a fresh install of drivers/or older set and a different version of Odin. I have an older version linked in my FAQ thread...but only use the recovery zip and root zip in the link if you have a p4wifi only tablet. The Odin version will work though for any tablet model.
I'll look around..I might have an alternative way...but I'm not sure. I'll post back later today, as I'm at work..:good:

Give this thread a read and try the app...its called Framaroot...it has a new exploit that might now work with you're device. If it doesn't..no harm done. But read the thread op...as it will give you info on some things to try if the app fails the first time.
Let me know if it works.. So I can update my FAQs thread and you or myself can post to the apps thread to help update the supported devices for the op over there...Thanks

Do as above stated and try a fresh install of drivers/or older set and a different version of Odin. I have an older version linked in my FAQ thread...but only use the recovery zip and root zip in the link if you have a p4wifi only tablet. The Odin version will work though for any tablet model.
I'll look around..I might have an alternative way...but I'm not sure. I'll post back later today, as I'm at work..:good:

Give this thread a read and try the app...its called Framaroot...it has a new exploit that might now work with you're device. If it doesn't..no harm done. But read the thread op...as it will give you info on some things to try if the app fails the first time.
Let me know if it works.. So I can update my FAQs thread and you or myself can post to the apps thread to help update the supported devices for the op over there...Thanks

guys, thank you for trying to help,
but sorry, none above can solve the problem,
for cable and driver issue ;
i already tried to uninstall and install various type of galaxy tab p7500 driver that available in the internet, and tried to connect it to my pc, my friend's and my wife's pc but still a NO, tried to change the setting>storage>choose usb pc connection, disable USB debugging, but still nothing
and i tried to use the cable to connect my wife's galaxy tab to pc, and it works just fine
so confirm : driver - OK , cable - OK
for ODIN ; NO GO
as related to above issue, i tried to download mode and nothing happen, on the screen only appear "waiting for usb" and no yellow signal from ODIN in pc, tried with Odin3-v1.85
for recovery ; NO GO
in the screen tab, it appear version Android System Recovery <3e>
it only have menu:
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
with the help from airdroid app(via wifi), i put cwm file recovery.img and update.zip/root.zip/superuser.zip for root, but none of them is detected in the recovery
so neither rooting nor flashing can be done here
for Framaroot app NO GO
i installed Framaroot-1.6.1 into the tab, it rejected right away, not supported
mobile odin pro 3.76 ; NO GO
need to root first
terminal emulator; PENDING
need to root, but i found somewhere in the internet that we can root via TE just that need the specific code, I have no idea on this, tried to search terminal emulator help for galaxy tab 10.1 but none found, only found for other devices.
and another problem i cant type anything in the TE
so Terminal Emulator ; can't type , not sure the script/command
USB OTG;
i have no clue on this, do i need a specific driver?
so, is it Terminal emulator or usb otg might able to solve the problem?
really appreciate ur assistance, guys
@khaix
Seen this...maybe worth a try...
Quick STEP:
1. Connect TAB to PC ( with its corresponding USB cord )
2. While its connected ( MTP connected appears on your TAB )
3. GO to Control Panel on your PC ( Find the Devices and printer )
4. while in the " Devices and Printer ( SAMSUNG ANDROID will appear w/ a red marker saying " it has a problem connecting " )
5. Right Click the " SAMSUNG ANDROID " and press the fix problem .
6. then it will automatically fix the problem why your TAB wont connect to your PC ( Just fallow the troubleshoot steps )
7. Then its a rap.
If that is not an option...
Try uninstalling drivers and kies..reboot you're computer( make sure drivers were uninstalled ). Now reinstall drivers,but not kies. Or just plug in you're device and let it download the drivers..but no kies..
Try these two options to get connected and let me know...if they don't work I'll keep look...

As said before, you can't flash anything in your current t recovery because it is the stock recovery. About TE, for some reason you can't type anything using the stock Samsung keyboard. Download Google Keyboard from play store then you can type in it. But you won't be able to write the recovery.img into your tab because that would require root.
Try to go to Settings -> Storage -> press the menu button or the 3 dot button (whatever it is you want to call it) at the top right -> make sure the first checkbox is ticked.

Hi guys,
I already unistalled Kies and the tab driver, restart, install the latest usb driver and restart again, and connect my tab to pc, still nothing, but when i ttried my wife's tab, it immediately detected the tab, so the cable is ok, only something is wrong with the tab...
i also double checked at setting>storage>3 lines at right end corner>media device (mtp)
still nothing

Sounds to me like you need to clean the charger port...it might have something crossed over...I've seen this in the epic 4g touch forum.. You're device is reading that something is in contact with the charging port...since its not reading the cable that came with the device..it puts the red x over the battery bar. You can't charge these tabs with just any cord..unless you're running a custom ROM..
The sim card I'm not sure...check that port and we'll proceed from there..

I just did that, clean the port carefully and tried again to connect to pc
The result still the same, not detected but only chargin like before, with red x on the battery bar
This is so frustating, am i reaching a dead end?
Sorry if you mentioned it before, but is your tab able to connect to PC normally? I mean without download mode and Odin and all those stuff.
And all this happens after you factory reset your tab using stock recovery right?

The x happens when connected to USB or charging? If USB then its normal since by default it isn't charging.

If its showing the charge icon when not plugged in...don't you think its a port issue...maybe something stuck or bent inside..I've seen this in the e4gt forum. I'm going to look at what their fix was..

Look at this thread.. http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...galaxy-tab-10-1-not-charging-brand-new-3.html
I'm thinking it has to be the port or the 30 pin connector...I know. You said it works with other devices...but trust me when I say...technology is a fickle mistress...
Did he say that? Whoops, I think I missed it.
I don't know much about these ports so I'll let you take over this thread.

Hye Guys
as per title, i read most of the solution ( i think so) in this forum, but none can solve mine,
because..
1) my original usb cable cant be detected by my pc so I cant use ODIN
2) the android recovery does not have "install zip from sd card" , so i cant flash cwm and root
so, my tab isnt rooted and I cant flash to a new rom due to above reason
This is all happened when I tried to factory reset from stock ICS..
please help me with a good solution

I'm experiencing similar problem. I followed the instructions in Odin after bricking my phone via wrong carrier ROM update. I followed these stpes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
I was successful. I also rooted the phone. Yet, I don't see the "install zip from ...." and all recovery apps fail once the phone gets into recovery mode.
Any ideas?

Lenovo P780 -MT6589 device hard bricked - Need help

Hi, I think I am in deep trouble now. My p780 8gb is completely dead after trying to flash a TWRP recovery in to it using a flash tool. Not sure what went wrong I fiddled with some settings in flash tool like 'firmware upgrade' and 'download' and at last saw a Dram failed message. I was using the latest s226 Kitkat ROW. Now all I can see is a red led charging light glowing while connecting it to a computer. The device is not getting recognized by VCOM drivers so no use with flash tool any more. Tried to reboot in to recovery and meta mode but the phone simply does not turn on. Anyone knows how to unbrick this, kindly help.

Hi. Please tell me if your phone is made in 2014. From what i see all phones made in 2014 must be flashed with another preloader. The simptoms you are described here seems that way. Waiting fro reply...

Hi stympy,
Yes it is a 2014 January version. But to be honest I was using a ROM with 2013 version preloader but never faced any problem, Today purposefully changed it to the new 121kb 2014 preloader and everything was fine till I used the v5 flashtool to flash the twrp and I think I selected the upgrade option in it and flashed the twrp> found the ROM and preloaders from needrom.com from the uploader xxxsadistxxx .It worked flawlessly and then after first booting I configured the wi-fi settings again turned it off and tried to install the custom recovery. Now completely helpless because the phone is not getting detected by VCOM drivers.

Look what you have to do!
Hi. The think was someting like this:
0. Unzip/Unrar those 2 archives.
1. First i install the .exe file from archive LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.zip. Reboot PC.
2. Plug the phone to your PC and new hardware wizard has appeared. Install the drivers by pressing automaticaly search the drivers.
3. Now power off the phone, and open the Device Manager, in Ports section.
4. With the Device Manager open, plug the phone this time powered off.
5. At this time in Device Manager/ Ports section, appeared for a second or two not in USB area something with.. MTK65...
6. Double Click fast on it because that will desapear very fast . If you missed the click for the first time unplug and replug the phone after about 5 seconds.
7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver from MTK_USB__Driver_GOOOOODDD.rar archive, and voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
Hope this will help you.
Tell me iff something goes wrong.
Good luck.

1) Hi, thanks for the troubleshooting steps but for the 3rd and 4th step, the phone is always in a switched off mode only. It simply doesn't get turn on in any mode.
2) I am using Windows 8.1 OS and Lenovo Usb Driver1.0.10 and VCOM drivers are already installed in it after turning off the digital signature check in win 8x OS and now nothing is happening after clicking on install option of LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.exe Is it a problem or in other OS also it wont prompt to click next or something like in a regular driver installation.
3) Phone is not getting detected in device manager after connecting it, so cant update drivers
Please suggest me what to do next.

Ok. Try this:
1. Open the back case of your phone.
1.1 Open the device manager on your PC.
2. You will find there an small red button.
3. Now plug your phone to your PC.
4. After you plugged the phone press the red button for 20 secconds.not optional
5. Release the button and see what is going on in your device manager.
6. Iff your preloader is messed up something should going on.
7. Should appear something like new hardware detected, that is the point when you update the drivers, and your phone will be detected by your PC
8. Try this and tell me if something goes wrong.
Good luck.

Hi thanks a lot stympy. I am glad that you were spending the time and effort to help me. I saw that red button trouble shooting post in your TWRP thread and luckily for me after clicking on different options in device manager while setting a complete format in sp flashtool the device suddenly got detected and format was done. After the format the device has lost its imei number, BT code and Wlan codes. That was going to be a hectic job to reinstall imei with imei repairing tools and usage of Hexa editor for BT and wi-fi codes just because some drivers were not getting installed properly.. But to my sheer luck I had a "Data' back up in TWRP with my previous version prerooted rom . I was not that confident to get a restore of imei , BT and wlan codes because it is just a 'data' back up not full ROM. I ticked the md5 checksum and voila after installing the back up 'Data' everything , absolutely every single code in my p780 got reinstalled automatically .LONG LIVE TWRP DEVELOPERS......... May be even after formatting the complete flash drive of the phone it still keeps the imei and other codes in factory mode. I am not sure. Now phone is in perfect condition and I am ready for another go. Stympy please create a 2.7.1 twrp for 2014 preloader p780 8gb. thanks again for all your help

WARRNING This are only for 8GB PHONES.
Here you are.
Try to flash with scatter files one by one till works.
Use only SP Flash Tool 5.
After flashing TWRP do not reboot the phone, start the phone with Power button Vol + and Vol - pressed. NOT OPTIONAL
Be carrefoul to select Download not Firmware Upgrade.
Good Luck.
Thank you stympy master

Hey Stympy, you seem to know quite a lot about this! I have the same problem with my p780 4GB. After flashing everything seemed ok, as I got a green circle in SPFlash tools. However now I am not able to boot anymore. When connecting my phone to my computer the red light goes on and Device Manager shows a new MTK USB Port. When pushing the red button it immediately disappears. Does not matter if I push it for 20 seconds, as soon as I let go its bak in device manager.
When trying to reflash using SPFlash, it seems to recognize my phone, but when trying to format or Upgrade or Download, the red bar only loads up to 141776 Bytes and stops. Sometimes I have to push the red button for the phone to get recognized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
ps: CMIIT ID on the battery says 2013xxxxxxx so I guess its a 2013 model?

Hi. Can you tell me what firmware did you have ?
From what you described your phone seems to be from 2014. This are the simptoms when the preloader is messed up.
Look what you should try:
Download from here the preloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-chineese-speed-version-t2874161
Replace your Curent ROM preloader with the one you downloaded.
Drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...ial-kitkat-t2835605/post55587780#post55587780
Try this one and tell me if somethin goes wrong.
Waiting for Reply.

Hi, I think I am in deep trouble now. My p780 8gb is completely dead after trying to flash a TWRP recovery in to it using a flash tool. Not sure what went wrong I fiddled with some settings in flash tool like 'firmware upgrade' and 'download' and at last saw a Dram failed message. I was using the latest s226 Kitkat ROW. Now all I can see is a red led charging light glowing while connecting it to a computer. The device is not getting recognized by VCOM drivers so no use with flash tool any more. Tried to reboot in to recovery and meta mode but the phone simply does not turn on. Anyone knows how to unbrick this, kindly help.

Fool me. I've tried to run CN on russian LiFE ROW with TWRP. You can laugh very loud.
1. unbricked with P780_S136_140306_Lang
cleared IMEI
2. IMEI recovered with Droid Tools
after reboting no gsm signal
3. NVRAM recovered from backup
No success.
SIM cards works fine on other mobile, 911 cal also work on this phone
now running on:
ROM: P780_S226_Life_XVIBE_by_Xakep
Baseband: P780.V23
Last idea is clone p780 (colleague has one) with IMEI change, mac address and sn. Now with which tool it'll be easier?
success
