After a successful root I probably made mistake in editing "vold.fstab" (I want to change the sdcard1 for sdcard2) a tablet hangs when loading ( still spinning wheel and the system will not boot ) .
I download a recovery file by "nandroid" from some Czech Republic Android forum, put in on SD card but in CWM I'm still see that "restore not found". So I can not restore with this file.
Could someone help me?
Somebody said that update firmware can help, I have officialy firmware update in format img . PMP5101C_20131019_v1.0.8.img , but do the update through the program what official makes Prestigio requires the tablet is on (boot in system), which unfortunately is not possible .
Maybe it is possible to do it with RKAndroidTool, there can be tablet off (just turf off, push volume+ and connect cable) . But I dont know, what is the numbers in box " Address" for firmware update ((
Alternatively, maybe somebody can create a update.zip file for me, that I can use in the CWM and make a update with this and overwrite the "vold.fstab" to the original.
If someone help , I also like to reward for PayPal.
I do not want have a tablet for 200 EUR as a paperweight.
Sorry for my poooor english.

Do you have the files to root this device as i have CMW 6.03 installed, but when i use the SuperSU-v1.65.zip that came with it, it errors.
Please help as this is a great device from Maplins at a great price.
@dvd73
Not sure if you managed to fix your problem.
I messed up my framework-res.apk trying to get usb tether enabled and my 5101C also did not boot.
I reflashed my rom to v.1.0.11 from the official website according the instructions provided and it was like new.
No need to start it up, you only need to get to flash mode by holding vol+ while pluging in the usb, then RKbatchtool will recognize your tablet.
@happy2help
Try updating your rom to v.1.0.11 and then flashing the CWM recovery. Then download the latest SuperSU zip from xda and install the zip, this worked for me.

Hi,
I want to root a Huawei IDEOS X3 (U8510) any leads?
Thanks in Advance,
I tried Gingerbreak and it didn't work. Can someone help with this?
Just rooted my U8510:
Using Huawei U8650 Firmware
These two worked for me to root:
U8650V100R001C223B826(Malaysia General)
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...9918&attachmentName=U8650V100R001C223B826.zip
U8650-1 V100R001C86B823SP05(Spain Yoigo)
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...hod=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=39968
This firmware is compatible with our Huawei U8510.
Install the normal way by placing dload in SD and update (Settings,- storage,- Software Upgrade,- SD card Upgrade. accept, update installation will start when finished will restart and let it completely turn on.
To root:
download the file update.zip from here http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...ip from here&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13127313803713, copy it in your SD card (Leave it compacted in zip) then turn off the phone and put it in recovery mode (volume up+on/off switch for a few seconds).
Once in the recovery menu select "update from SD , chose the file, then reboot et voilà!
Your phone is rooted!
Note: the Huawei U8650 Firmware is 100% compatible but then you cant go back to U8510 firmare if you need the warranty. Also has a bug in compass.
Install at your own risk.
This is my only problem because i am new with ANDROID, is there is anyone that can help me with the recovering image for the Huawei U8510 just in case i need it.
But up till now the software is the same and running smoothly like original the Huawei U8510.

Does anyone know if the above method works on s42hw (AKA. pocket wifi s II) which is sold under E-mobile in Japan?
I don't have the phone yet but I believe it is a same phone as U8510.
I tried to do as you said, mngt135, but i get the error right when i select "upgrade from sd card": E:failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)
Can u guys help me?
Worked like a charm here. The only thing i miss is that the X3 Vodafone rom has toggles in the notification bar for wifi/gps/etc and at the U8650V100R001C223B826(Malaysia General) firmware doesn't. Someone tried the other rom? Does it have toggles in the notification area?

No it doesn't have togglers i use Extended Controls
attention cascalheira the two roms i have mentioned work to root the others like (U8650 V100R001C00B828SP03(general) did not work.
After disabling some system services i ended up with an unbeatable phone (Stuck at Huawei logo). After some time trying everything finally and almost getting mad, finally came across a way to reinstall it:
Put the update file in the dload folder on the sdcard root (using another phone or a card reader), and start your phone by pressing Volume Up+Volume Down+Power (Flash mode i think). It will install the file on the dload folder.
Probably these are OLD news for everyone else here, but anyway decided to post it so it can save some time to someone else.
Compass
Followed your steps to root the phone and everything worked perfectly. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the compass...
the two ROMs have Portuguese on language selection?
any fix for the compass?
there is some more things that need fix?
Thanks
Obrigado
Yes, both have portuguese and everything seems to work except the compass.
If you need the original ROM you can find it here
Huawei_Firmware_U8510
Also known as the Ideos X3 or Huawei Blaze.
Is there any way to install the ROM by ADB command?
Or convert the ROM to zip (recovery) or fastboot?
if there is a way to convert i like to know.
I want to return to the original version (U8510-1 V100R001C02B827 (Portugal Vodafone))
Not working on my phone:
bluetooth
compass
Well, I tried to root my u8510 using the method of "mngt135". But I have a problem: when is was in Android system recovery menu and choose "apply update from sdcard", when starts do install appears an error:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
What can I do?

How to unlock?
Any news on this?
Hello to all.
I bought recently a Tengda T94 (also being referred to as Dapeng T94).It has MTK6589 chip.
Me,the smartass,wanted to change the DPI setting of the smartphone,because Real Racing 3 lagged a little bit and thought changing it might fix the framerate.I changed it from 320 dpi to 221 with LCD modder and reboot.Then the surprise struck me,when it didnt start,it just stood on the logo and kept replaying it.I have tried with ADB commands - some works,some not.
I am with stock recovery 3e.
Has only few commands like reboot now,install update from adb,cache,sd card and wiping cache and another option for wiping data to factory settings (and two irrelevant options of restoring/backing up user data).
I tried wiping all data and cache,still bootlooping.
Tried with mediatek firmware adapter tool,but i think it cannot change the build.prop file while bootlooping (it cannot find my device when in recovery mode),because it is either in use,or in read-only mode.
Tried with android commander,but didnt know what to do there.
I downloaded rather late a CWM recovery for my phone,and also if I am not mistaken two roms - one of them is exactly like mine.
But when tried to install thru recovery adb sideload it starts and then says : restating ADBD ....... installation aborted and returns me to main recovery menu. Tried with my backed up build.prop which i have put in flashable zip file.
However,the two roms i have downloaded arent working properly.They are zip,but still adb sideload cannot read them.
And another (i dont know if it is relevant) my external sd card 16 gb default,when i put it in my old gsm to put the two roms and cwm recovery files,first windows wanted to format it and the only option was FAT 32,total of 2.87GB.What has happened to my sd card ?
Still I couldnt install from the external sd card the roms,only zip with build.prop file was listed and gave the same mistake as said above : restating ADBD ....... installation aborted.
PP: I have arrived at the conclusion that the problem is this line ro.sf.lcd_density=221,which is in build.prop file (I might be wrong).So the question is can i somehow modify the prop file or what should i do ?
And why has my sd card shortened from 14,6gb to 2.87 ?
Sorry for the long post.
Problem with T94 too
I tried to modify the build.prop file to enable the soft keys and the phone doesn't work now! stops at the android logo and I don't know how to make it work now. I re-edited the file back to its original using ADB explorers and still the same. Any help on how to recover it would be highly appreciated.
---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------
if you want the original build.prop file i have got it,
can you tell me how did you do the CWM recovery without the phone being working?
Installing CWM Recovery Tengda T94
My phone has been bricked and after really hard work I could install CWM Recovery and I'm about to try the Spanish rom, so wanted to share what I have reached to before I forget.
----Do at you own risk-----
-My phone was in a boot loop and USB debugging was previously activated before it bricked
-I installed all the necessary drivers, USB_VCOM_Drivers (Available here: http://goo.im/devs/C3C0/THLW8/tools/USB_VCOM_drivers.zip)
I created the scatter file/map using MTK droid tool, and used the CWM Recovery of the Spanish Rom at this link:
http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/threads/42700-ROM-Custom-ROM-T94-v1-0b
I'm going to upload the scatter file and the CWMrecoveryT94.img, download this sp flash tool for quad core scatter files
http://www.4shared.com/zip/kf__h7u-/sp_flash_tool_zopomobileshop_q.html?cau2=403tNull
Switch off your phone, open SP Flash Tool Quad Core that you downloaded, choose the scatter file available here, double click recovery and choose the CWMrecoveryT94.img available here and press "Download" press yes for the message that appears and connect your phone, it will confirm the success by a green big circle message.
I will update my further proceeding.
Tengda T94 GPS never works
Does anyone have any idea about fixing the GPS problem? I watched a video in youtube in spanish who showed a working fast GPS but I don't understand what he says but he showed in the description that he added a copper foil piece to the GPS antenna, if anyone had luck fixing it please share.
Here is the video:

help tengda t94
i flashed tengda t94 spflash tools stockrom phone works boots but can see nothing phone works in background
Hi folks,
unfortunately I somehow bricked my ZTE Open. I flashed cwm (worked fine) but after flashing both system AND userdata via flash_image, the phone won't boot and what is much worse it won't boot into cwm anymore as it hangs there with just showing the logo and the cwm version. The menus are missing, it does not react buttons and does not show up in adb. FTM mode is also non-functional, holding volup gets you also into broken recovery.
For earlier ZTE devices like the ZTE Blade it seems to be possible to low level flash them in diagnostics mode. Diagnostics mode is working fine on the ZTE Open (it shows up with the diagnostics port on USB. Luckily I also have all the 20 partitions backed up, but I don't know how to flash them in this diagnostics mode. I tried putting the files into the root of the SD card and including sha1/256/512 plus md5sum files, but it was not impressed by that. Not sure if this only works in FTM mode, though.
Any help would be highly appreciated! I highly assume that the procedure is the same as for the ZTE Blade.
This may help. http://pof.eslack.org/2013/07/05/zte-open-firefoxos-phone-root-and-first-impressions/
At least there is more going on for Firefox Open over there.
Thanks but as you might have noticed I posted several comments there already, but I thought XDA would be the right place for unbricking devices.

Are there any updates on this one?
I have bricked Open too, I'm attaching the PCB picture, if it is any help to maybe find UART or JTAG pins?
Can someone be really nice and please dump the bootloader from working ZTE Open in send it to me?
I've found some guy, who maybe can help me write bootloder with JTAG.
I think this should work, but no promises: https://sites.google.com/site/zteopenfirmware/download-mode

Thanks for your time to help, but this does not work for me. I get an error, when I press flash button (printscreen under attachments).

tpt files for the zte open
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rnj3rja7gd54s98/_twgXEkMFH/P752D04_DEV_EU_20131212_v1.2.7z
Thank you for the link. But what tool is supposed to be used to flash the files? And is there a way I can use my backup as well? In this case: how can I transform it to TPT files?
Update: I tried flashing it by following the instructions of the link posted by psywolf, but unfortunately I am getting the same error as aversario. I tried also flashing just recovery, but it seems like no single partition is flashed successfully.
So, I've ordered jtagulator and it showed the pins. Now I need jtag programmer, which one do you guys recommend?
And I am still looking for some great guy to share with me his bootloader of a functional zte open.

Well, I don't know the partition names by heart, but as I remember the bootloader is one of the small partitions (so definitely not system or boot or userdata or recovery).
The way to get that small partitions would be installing CWM recovery first -> http://pof.eslack.org/2013/07/05/zte-open-firefoxos-phone-root-and-first-impressions/
then enter adb shell on computer
su # to get root privileges
then it should be something like explained here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3GOzUURSgM&feature=player_detailpage#t=153
And thank you very much for your time
If i figure out how to do that without CWM i'll upload it for you. Cannot install CWM because i need to be on stock recovery for development of update packages, sorry

OK, I get that. I'm sure there exists a way to do it without changing recovery also. I just can't figure it out because that's the only Firefox OS phone I've had.
try to reinstall
Hi, I bricked my ZTE Open (EU version) too. Had bought it from a German Ebay seller and tried to flash FirefoxOS 2.0 on my device. I don't have the CWM recovery installed, only the "Firefox OS System Recovery" Big mistake, I know . When I switch on the device, the Firefox OS logo appears, then disappeas after a few seconds, and so on, the perfect bootloop
I can't access the device via ADB or fastboot.
When I ty to install any downloaded zip (even from ZTE's homepage) from the SD card, I get following messages:
Code:
--Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
So there is no valid signature.
Can you help me please? Thank you!

Found a solution by myself!:victory:
I downloaded the update.zip file from firefox.ztems.com (Update package of Android GB for OPEN device) and installed it.
After that I could flash the CWM recovery. It seems to work...

Vodafone smart 4 mini doesn't start
Hi
I bought brand new vodafone smart 4 mini and first I did was root to unlock phone, next a very stupid idea came to my had to update software, after that my phone worked terreble, so another stupid idea came to my head to flash oryginal ROM, I downloaded rom, SPFlash tool , load scatter file and pressed download, everything looked good, it took about one minute and green circle ok at the end. I was verry happy, for couple seconds only, my brand new phone never started again. there was only short blink when I pressed power button , and then nothing. I've been trying to flash the phone many times after that with couple different ROM's but no succes. sometime phone doesn't even blink after flashing. Sometimes at the begining of flashing there is mesage "no partition table" or memory error. Please somebody help me, I'm loosing hope.
I think the only good news is that the "Media Tek PreLoader USB VCOM" still works, and looks like phone cooperates with the tool, maybe I should use different tool, or test phone first with some tool, or create partitin table ?

I tried to change the Chinese Firmware to Global firmware to (Meizu Pro 7) and now I have a problem.
I followed this guide on this web:
chinahandys .net (I can't copy the link here since I have a new user
and so I deleted the file "boot.img"
I also couldn't open the Update.zip file with Winrar or another archive program.
then, I tried to do this :
"10. In FlashFire, select the small plus icon at the bottom right and select “Flash ZIP or OTA”. Select the “update.zip” file and confirm the pop-up with the tick at the top right"
but I couldn't find the “update.zip” file there.
finally, I tried to open the update.zip by pressing "Update".
since then my phone won't start.
The only thing i can do is pressing the "plus" button and another button below which will lead to me to a screen of Updating the system. when I try to do it's wrong because "firmware not found".
My phone is stock on the screen "flyme".

I tried to change the Chinese Firmware to Global firmware to (Meizu Pro 7) and now I have a problem.
I followed this guide on this web:
chinahandys .net (I can't copy the link here since I have a new user
and so I deleted the file "boot.img"
I also couldn't open the Update.zip file with Winrar or another archive program.
then, I tried to do this :
"10. In FlashFire, select the small plus icon at the bottom right and select “Flash ZIP or OTA”. Select the “update.zip” file and confirm the pop-up with the tick at the top right"
but I couldn't find the “update.zip” file there.
finally, I tried to open the update.zip by pressing "Update".
since then my phone won't start.
The only thing i can do is pressing the "plus" button and another button below which will lead to me to a screen of Updating the system. when I try to do it's wrong because "firmware not found".
My phone is stock on the screen "flyme".
please help me!! I just bought this phone

Hi,
For 3 month, I hope you have find the solution. If you don't, here is mine :
I had the same problème on my phone.
I couldn't reinstall it, I think the version that I downloaded wasn't compatible with the "Chinese" version of my mobile.
You need to find the good firmware !
Could you try with this chinese firmware : MEIZU PRO7 Standard Version -Flyme6.1.3.2A-7.0
It's worked on my phone.
So,
Press and hold the volume up and power button until the screen goes on recovery mode.
Connect the device to the laptop or PC, you can open the device. You will see an empty partition named recovery.
Now copy the downloaded firmware of your phone and place it in the recovery partition. Just copy update.zip to recovery partition.
Now in the phone select update firmware and clear data and press next.
The phone will reboot and install the firmware.
Wait, wait, wait 15mn be patient.
tell me if it's working on your phone.
excuse me for my poor English !

Hello!
Was everything, such as google playstore and english language, still working on you phone after you updated the firmware?
I was also wondering if theres need to backup the IMEI somewhere?
Im currently running a modified verision of 6.1.3.2A which doesnt have all the features for the 2nd display and hence looking for an upgrade.

I used this chinese version less than 10mn. I would advise you to install the G firmware !
I didn't install the playstore (too thing in chinese in this firmware) that's why after running the version 6.1.3.2A, i used this tutorial :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75297402&postcount=70
"Download the firmware Flyme 6.1.3.2G from here
http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=88&type=1
after you can do the instructions in video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDp6oZL4Wx4 "
Be careful when you install superSU to do the same thing as in the video. I don't do the same than on the vidéo that's why i need to reinstall the chinese firmware. After the installation i wait 15mn and my phone stays on Flyme. i restart it and it worked for installing busybox and flashfire.
I wish you bon courage !

Ah ok, so you only used it to be able to flash the global rom on?
Ive read multiple places that its not possible to update from A to G, thats why i was thinking about going to the 7.0.0.0A ROM instead. The shop i bought it from (CECT, who are not very well informed at all) told me it would brick the phone to go to G from A, my phone is apparently not intended for global sale thats why they make their own version and flashes it on...
So now im just looking for someone who can confirm that updating to the A-rom wont remove google play or english.
EDIT: I have the Helio P25 model
