Simdo D98T CWM (Play Store) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I searched for a cheap phone because I have a happit breaking them. I ordered the Simdo D98T.
When I received the Simdo It came in a nice box. But I was supprised there wasn't any playstore. Only Chinese Markets and Apps. But I can't read a word Chinese so I would love to have the normal Play Store. After a few days searching I got across a Rusian forum. With the help of Google Translate, I figured out how to place CWM and also gapps on the Simdo D98T.
You need SP Flash tool (like every other Chinese phone. Ik used version 13.08. If there is somebody who needs it I can provide a link.
After that you need this files from the Russian guy:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8K6WlfE3JM9Ri1PMDZyTGtlZU0/edit
Open SP Flash tool and load the scatter file that you just downloaded. After the scatter is loaded disable the preloader, it might save your phone.
In case (like mine) the other files are empty, fill the recovery with the CWM image and the boot with the bootimg.
Remove the battery from the phone and connect the USB cable. Be sure you have the drivers installed.
Press the DOWNLOAD button in the flashtool. After inserting the battery it needs a few seconds to install. When a green circle is displayed, you have succesfully installed CWM. Now you can download the matching GAPPS (4.2) and place it on the SD Card of your phone.
Boot to CWM and install GAPPS, No need to delete your data it just works out of the box.
I hope somebody is happy with this small explaination. Sorry for my bad English sometimes. But I hope I helped a few people out. Have fun with Goolge Play and CWM

Hello,
Thanks for the info.
But, may I ask you something?. Could you please make a backup of the rom and upload it?
I bought it, and this is the second time that pandawill sent it to me broken. Each time I send it to Pandawill costs me 25€, so I would like to try to fix by myself, because the only solution that they give me is send it back to be fixed.
Thanks in advance.

I bought a couple of phones but got scammed. So to not get a bad name around here I gave my phones away. A new phone from an other seller is on it's way to me. When I receive it I will upload it!

I got the root from here
xxx.slatedroid.com/topic/33144-haipad-i9220-mtk6575-android-40/
1.Please download root file on
xxx.t-kstore.com/4.0root.rar
2.Go to*setting-developer options-click USB debugging
3.Connect the phone with computer,turn on usb device.
4.Click the file you download from the link TPSparkyRoot.bat*
5.Your phone will restart first time,after the phone start finish(until you see the unlock),click enter in the window of TPSparkyRoot.bat.
6.The phone will restart second time,still the same as first time we did.Then start third time,same as we did in last two*times.Click enter,then phone was rooted.
7.You will see two more app was installed in your phone,that mean root phone successfully.
thanks! that was very helpful information! i had some trouble getting windows to connect to my device. kept getting the error: device not found. i suppose it is because i didn't have the proper drivers for the device.
but it is surprisingly easier when done in linux. i just needed to mess around a little with the udev rules.
for the benefit of newbies like me, the instructions provided from that link provided by worldbreaker, i didn't completely follow them. you can choose to install your own superuser and root explorer apk here. in my case, i already installed the Superuser app from the play store even before the rooting process. i also installed Root Explorer separately from the rooting process as well. so no chinese apps for me
now what?

Hi everyone,

Dapeng i9800 firmware found but links dead! Nead russian help!
Hi, I'm from West-Germany and got into trubble:
First of all, I used A Dapeng I9800 for more than 2 years without any problems!
Then, I got my Winter-Blues and cleaned cache from recovery mode!
After that the device didn't boot, because it wanted a passwort to use the cache, which wasn't set. No prob so far!
The solution I found was, that I have to set back to factory default.
But I took off the battery while it was formatting.
Yes, shame on me, I wasn't patient(!) thats my fault!
Now, I've got two new problems:
Is the EMMC bricked?
My russian isn't good enough to enter this forum: china-iphone.ru
to ask these two guys:
BBV1962 http://forum.china-iphone.ru/member12688.html
and:
designed http://forum.china-iphone.ru/member201062.html
via PM, for a working link they posted for my device in their posts on this sides:
http://forum.china-iphone.ru/n9880-6-0-480x854-1-2ghz-android-4-0-3-2x3000-mah-t21999-120.html
http://forum.china-iphone.ru/n9880-6-0-480x854-1-2ghz-android-4-0-3-2x3000-mah-t21999-140.html.
The MTK6575-77 6" original firmware ROM below the posted picture is what I mean.
I hope, someone can get a link for me AND it is not worthless, because the EMMC is broken, as my own backup dosn't work.
Maybee you can get the info hww to flash back exactly, because I get an 4010 format error with the spflash tool.
Thanks a lot

[Q] [THL W8 BEYOND ] HOW TO ROOT and GPS FIX

Hi to all!
I recently bought this phone, I have to admit to being fully satisfied of the features except for one ... the GPS function.
I have read dozens of guides to adjust the GPS W8+ but not for my model. If I knew how to do the root I could at least try to use the same method.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to do it on this phone?

So I got mine W8 beyond two days ago.
So far so good, but:
1. GPS problem. I am geocacher (more at: geocaching.com) and I need accurate GPS. When I stood still in the open for few minutes, I could see GPS jumping around for 400-900 meters for no reason. AGPS and EPO activated. We will see how it goes
2. I would love to get polish language settings, since there are some apps which fetch the content depending on Your language setting (I know that this is poor design, but this is how they works), so that would be nice. Not an issue anymore. I installed MoreLocale2 and pm'ed it which is more than enough at the moment.
3. I do not see option for sorting the apps in the main apps menu (it was working on my old Lenovo A750) - am I missing something?First 9 icons are fixed and alphabelical, the rest is just alphabetical. I can live with that.
4. I have my contacts stored with country prefix which is not used by my operator. I do not see my contacts data when they are calling me.
The SMSes are provided by operator with country prefix, so the problem is with calls only. I tried to follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268120 but I am unable to decompile framework.jar - no classes.dex inside. I am not able to deodex framework.odex either, so I am stuck for the moment.GravityMod2 3.0 ROM fixed that problem.
The link provided with the tools and howto contains W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618-cwm6033.img,
when I go to phone info at my phone I can see W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM8P128_MT6589TV1.0.2_20130626.
Seems like I have newer firmware. If anyone can tell me how to extract this, I would be more than happy to share.
GravityMod2 3.0 installed - not an issue anymore
For my good old Lenovo I was able to modify the ROM as soon as I got my hands on any ROM in zip format. I guess I could also try to compile something (I am a programmer), but since I am extremely low on time I would need MT6589T kernel patch (is it the same like mt6589) and some basic manual.
Anyone interested?

Thanks, but I got A-GPS and EPO already enabled and EPO downloaded.
I till try to go to the engineering menu and locking via YGPS.
As I understood from google translator, I should just wait for lock and then close everything. Since then everything should be running smoothly. Am I right?
What about my other questions? Lack of polish is driving my crazy. My news feeds are all US which is driving me crazy ...

Guys ..... HELP!!!!
with my habit of fiddling I think I brick the cell.
I tried the guide for root and recovery for the beyond, but now I can not turn on anymore, not even in recovery mode, the LED does not light up even if I put it on charge.
Can anyone give me some advice on where I can start to revive the terminal?
Thanks in advance. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

I am not sure if it helps (I am quite sure it does not acctually), but which version was running on your phone prior to root attempt? Which part has failed? writting the CWM image or rooting?
Try to connect the phone to the PC via usb and then turning it on. If PC reacts (ADB device as far as I rememeber will be recognized) then there might be chance for You.

Hi,
Thanks for this great tutorial and for arranging all the needed files in one location!
I have a small problem
1. When I open the flash tool I get the following error: "fail to load a raw data file: "c:\users\stephane\Desktop\thl8beyond\W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618-cwm6033.img
2. When I continue the falsh tool opens but when I try to upload the scatter file I get the following error: "Incorrect scatter file format!"
3. My current build number is: W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.2_20130626. Can I still use the image you provided ?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi guys,
I am having trouble to install the drivers for the THL W8 Beyond that I have. My model is:
W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618
When connecting it to the computer it will install HTC drivers under Android Phone entry in device manager and also W8 Beyond under Portable Device.
I cannot root the phone using the msdos script or SP Flash tool. Also Snapea does not see the device. On the same computer I used a ZOPO C2 Platinum and Snapea found that instantly and I could rooted and also pushed a custom ROM.
Now... wish I could also root this THL to be able to back-up my stock ROM. No need for me to work with a custom, just need to be able to back-up the original ROM just to be safe.
Can you please help me in regards to the communication problem between computer with Win 7 64bit and the THL W8 Beyond phone?
Thank you.

Unbrick Oppo R5 /R5s

Unbrick Oppo R5
Since oppo forums support is minimal and a lot of Oppo R5/ R5s owners are facing difficulties flashing new rom and since Oppo is unbrickable here are a guide as posted to oppo forum members by the member Ricky.
I had clear instructions not to post this tool anywhere BUT THEY DON’T SUPPORT ANY DEVICE and I have to break my promise as they broke any kind of support.
This community (XDA) is to help all members
The tool works with windows 10 and not only with windows 7 as they mention in their instructions
Packages you have to download first
1- Firmware ColorOS https://www.partage-facile.com/LM6Y85FF7Z/r8106ex_11_a.16_150806.tar.bz2.html
File Name: R8106EX_11_A.16_150806.tar.bz2
Size: 1.4GB
MD5: F85ED63BA637B559976D9BFF0AED0187
2- Instructions:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3AWkNVCRSNVZGNRUE1rQW5YOFk/view?sid=
3- Driver : http://en.oppo.com/downloads/firmware/driverForFind5.rar
Mirror for driver http://www109.zippyshare.com/v/MEMiPlOv/file.html
Attention
a-Unbrick tool will wipe all data on your device including photos and music etc, if do you want to reserve your data please make o back up on your PC
b- After unbrick the first time power up take around 5-15 minutes
c- The most important things are to install the driver. For windows 10 you must enable unsigned signature verification through windows advanced settings (google it) prior driver installation.
d- In order to shut phone completely hold the power button for 8 -10 secs
How to use the tool
I tried to use the tool and the files you provided to revive my Oppo R5, but the layout of the tool which you provided is different from the one in the picture (you gave in the links). It is also in foreign characters so difficult to choose with option to tick.
In fact, the version that came with you package does not have as many option as the one in the picture. My confusion actually starts from when the program starts. There is a drop down menu to chose from a long list of 14005 to 15065. Which one do I choose for Oppo R5?
As for the qualcomm port, the device manager identified my phone on port 9006, whereas the picture shows 9008.
Please help me. I really need to get this phone to work. The phone would not do any thing is the buttons are pressed individually or in combination, other than being detected by the computer and enumerated in the device manager.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you so much. it worked. Not my Oppo r5 is back alive.
Where is the download?
Is it normal that when I hit the download link there appear aliexpress??
I thought I had bricked my R5 but while trying to follow this guide it wasn't showing up in the "Ports" section of the Device Manager. I found that my phone still had fastboot, so I used it to install latest TWRP and then the repair rom. And now my phone is finally back to working condition! I hadn't modified in any way my phone and one day it got stuck at the logo. Anyway, thanks for the guide Mermigas!

[WIP][Solution on progress] Meizu M3 note unbrick

Code:
**** DISCLAIMER ****
This post is an EXPERT-LEVEL Post.
I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for what you do to your device.
Please not that I am still working on a solution to this brick.
Hello XDA-Developers,
I recently got my hands on a Meizu M3 note and, of course, wanted the newest - nougat - firmware on it. It seems I accidently flashed a incompatible (or currupted) Update (flashed an A Firmware on a G version phone). Sadly it broke down and showed only vertical stripes on it's display.
Image here: https://ibb.co/cpGunm
After some hours research I found some information on how to reflash the M3 note via SP Flash Tool here and here. Since the first tutorial is for the M3 and M3s and the second tutorial is for the M model of the device (I've got the L model) there are some changes needed for it to somehow magically work.
I exchanged files provided (such as preloader.bin, lk.bin etc) with the matching ones from the latest Official Global Firmware from Meizu. Just extracted them out of the update.zip. (Don't forget to select the Authentication File!)

Short flashing tutorial: make sure your device is turned off and disconneced then click "Download" and connect your device via USB. Don't worry if it now shows an error like "Download DA Failed", just dismiss the error and click "Download" again. It should flash the device now.
Sadly it is not possible to flash the boot.img provided in the latest official update.zip from Meizu (you'll get an security mismatch error). BUT the boot-verified.img provided by the chinese archive is flashable and is accepted by the device. The device is now in a bootloop, fastboot is accessible via holding Vol - and Power, but no recovery access via Vol+ and Power
The files seem to be repaired now but the display still shows these stripes - I think the firmware actually fried something on the display chipset. I bought a replacement screen and then will update this thread as soon as possible. If you have any Ideas of how to unbrick the device feel free to discuss.
Update 18.11.2017
Thanks to @ncristian !
I did as he suggested, downloaded and flashed the files from the russian forum here (if you do not speak russian and want to get straight to the point: Direct Download Link)
I still have the stripes on my screen but the device booted up successfully and got recognized again by my computer! While booting up I could see the stripes changing their color slightly as the bootanimation of flyme was playing. I guess I will have to replace the screen to make the display error go away... I will update this post as soon as I did so
Update 10.11.2018
Sadly I never actually exchanged the screen, I'm running a Pro 7 Plus as a daily driver now and I'm loving it
Update 19.05.2019
I have attached the boot-verified.img as someone requested it
I had the same problem and I solved thanks to this: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=739028&st=24480#entry65580668 and Google Translate; I downloaded the .zip, installed drivers, launched the flash tool and flashed files contained in the folder L691H (Remember to install drivers and disable antivirus or it will not work). Then I downloaded FlyMe 6.1.0.0G, went into recovery with vol up + power, copied the update.zip into the device "Recovery" and flashed it; the only problem I had is that the phone charged but he didn't recognize the battery level; by reflashing the files contained in the 4pda .zip, the battery level went up (obviously, after leaving the phone charging for about an hour).
Someone please help my meizu m3 note bricked after flashing flyme 7.8 beta.

Try reflashing via the original recovery, that might be your easiest solution. If that doesn't work you might try your luck with something like SP flash tool

First of all, thank you mate I successfully downloaded the boot verified. But still it didn't turned on. Just no power but recognized by the sp tool. I'm starting to think that downloaded again the wrong firmware. I also found out that their are two main board(or whatever is that). So this global firmware can be flashed in the both L and M series. I'm wondering what firmware you used to flash. Again, thank you in advance ^_^
l got same problem .. (because I'm not read careful )l tired to flash using many firmware or using boot verified .. i tired that for 2 Days.. So l give up.. take my device to profesional service . and solved. solved with Emmc repair ..
my device is L681H.

I did somwthing wrong and now I can't start my phone

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
