Bricked HDC Galaxy Note Max N9006 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I just received my Note Max N9006 form Fastcard Tech and decided to change the ROM from one I found on Needrom.com. The ROM I chose was titled: N9006/N900 iBaby888 as this one has been improved and it states is for the N9006.
I thought this was the correct rom and I followed the instructions for Sflash Tools (found elsewhere) and it seemed to complete OK in that I got the Green circle at the end of the flashing.
However, when I boot my phone, I can hear the start up sound/music but my display is just multicolored vertical pinstripes.
It seems to be moving to different screens whilst booting as the pinstripe display changes colors but I don't get any real display that makes any sense.
Anyone any idea how I can get my phone back to working display?
Is my phone just an expensive paperweight now?
Thanks in advance.:good:
Paul

did you manage to fix your Max ?

Had to send it back to China at my expense. Eventually got a refund after 2 months thanks to PayPal.

We just received this phone as well and will be putting a full review up soon on youtube and the site. It appears the phone is either an OEM or copy (more likely) ZP800H / ZP810. Beyond looks and specs, it installs "ZP800H" drivers when plugged into a PC.
I will have a full video review up soon on the site today and attempt some auto root methods as well.

Okay, the good news is the phone isn't bricked. Bad news is Bin4ry method certainly doesn't work. Tried both normal and special modes.
I bought this phone pre-rooted from MeriMobiles. If by the time i get it (2 weeks give or take) there is no root, i'll be happy to share a dump of the rom to help get it rooted
Caesar A9600
Just received this phone, wondering how I would go about rooting it? I have been told its a clone of the zp900H, however, mine is a quad core.

It's the OEM version of the ZP810/ZP800H. There doesn't seem to be a root yet.

Interesting. The ZP900H is the same as ZP910. What's the screen resolution in yours? if it is a ZP900H it should be QHD

That means your phone is an A9600, not an H7500+
http://www.merimobiles.com/caesar-a...roid-4-1-2-dual-camera-1gb-ram_p/meri8002.htm
the H7500+ has a 720p screen.

Yes, that is what I said I have in my original post, I mentioned the other ones because I'm told mine is pretty much a clone of them at least with regards to size and looks of the phone. It's not too common of a phone, I haven't seen much in the way of information on this phone, just thought it was a very decent phone ( better than my SG2 in most all areas)
My son suggested maybe seeing if I could find information on rooting it, hense my post and question here.
ahhhh, i always forget you can have titles on posts on this forum >_<
I think MT6890 phones are a bit too new, thus the lack of development so far. Should pick up at least enough to get root soon
Its okay. Unfortunately the screen got cracked tonight by accident Messaged the supplier but not sure what they can do for me. I only just got the phone a few days ago. Hopefully I can send it back to get a screen replacement. Thank you for your replies.
Hi, I bought this phone also (h7500+) and I'm very pleased with it, my only problem is the GPS is having a very hard time getting a lock, so I need to root it to modify gps.conf
Anyone find a way yet?

Does your phone come with CWM or just with the stock recovery(3e)? If it has CWM installed, you can root it easily with a flashable zip file.

Thanks for the reply. I just checked, and sadly it is the stock recovery (3e). I would try to flash CWM if there was a way, but I don't think there is without a bricking yet.
I also found there is a factory mode for this phone however (pwr + vol dwn) and it contains a plethora of options, problem is, it's all in chinese. I saw an option called GPS, it was followed by chinese characters, so I was too afraid to select anything.

take a look on this link, it has a detiled guide on how to root the phone.

p.s. since im new to this forum, i cant post links to external sites, just remove the [dot] from the link and replace it with . and it should lead you to the website.
How did you manage to crack the screen? Is this a glass screen by the way?
I really like my H7500+, have it since March 19 and I really love the extremely great WiFi coverage. The GPS works with mine, takes about 2 to 3 minutes to get a sat lock. I tried Sygic today, just on my way home (walking) and the signal from the satellites seem to be strong enough.
great phone, a bit heavy, true, yet still a great phone.

are you going to do coinCity based on latest firmware v3 from cubot site

Anyone else have a problem flashing the latest 803/v3 firmware? I've also tried the CoinCity rom but couldn't see anything new...exactly the same for me.
Screen gamma/saturation - can this be changed?
What's your cell standby battery usage like? Mine is 35%+ :/
Changing the lcd density to 245 makes everything looks awesome

Hmm, have you tired restarting holding the volume button down while pressing the power button?

no, recovery is made through holding volume up and pressing power button. After you see androind with "no command", release up button and press shortly power button. Then in menu: volume down-scrolling through menus, volume up-enter/ok.

Hi, could anyone help me with Adobe Flash? I installed Opera Classic and Opera for Android, tested my pages meteo.pozorka88.cz/teplomer.php and realized that flash doesn't work. Tried icon Flash player settings, finish with Opera and also built in browser but nothing happened. Help please.
I just came across this phone and am considering purchasing it. Before I do, can anyone comment on the pros and cons of the phone? What I am most interested in is the screen as far as viewing angles. I have contemplated the Alcatel Fierce (which has similar guts as this) but was really disappointed with the viewing angles - if you are not looking at it straight on, it gets all washed out/dark/bluish looking. If this phone has a better display than that I may consider getting the GT99.
Thanks all.
I have it few weeks with CoinCity 2.0 ROM.
Pros:
-display
-nearly excellent camera-does detailed pictures
-GPS problems can be fixed with a piece of wire connected to the gps connector-further contact from camera lens. GPS fixes faster and has stronger signal. This week I tried it in my car and capitol city Prague and with some version of Sygic it had ~400m lag from real position of my car. After update to newest version it has no lag. But when standing on lights, arrow moves around my position. Do you remember "static navigation" switching on Sirfstar chipsets? This is exactly what it is about.
-back silicone cover included
-it's fast, no lags
-no trash in stock rom and even more no trash in CoinCity ROM
-good speaker, my wife often says, that I am absolutely deaf, in Cubot I hear everything (I want )
-cheap (banggood.com: 146USD with voucher, free delivery and well packed and on envelope marked as cheap MP4 player for customs reason).
Cons:
-I'm bored from typing anything on display-a lot of mistypings, uncomfortable.. As I had xperia mini pro SK17 and HW keyboard was absolutely comfortable for me
-only one colour led (blue)
-hw under display keys lit only when touched, not with display. Not very easy to find back button on first touch.
Others:
-still did not find ideal contacts and dialer app, as the built in (Coincity) is stupid. I have ConTacTs from some japanese (I think) developer, it is nearly ideal, but could be better.
I appreciate your quick response...not to pester you, but could you tell me about the display? Does it wash out/black out if you tilt the screen too much one way or another?
No problem. I tried to read SMS from ~80degree angle left/right/up/down from direct view and I think I could read it (but the shiny display behaves as mirror, so it is the only reason for hard reading from that angle). No problem with colors, yes, white is not so white as when it directly lights to your eyes. If you mean normal tilt, with normal use, ie. say 45 degree, you will not see any difference from direct view.
I know what you mean from my old camera, where lcd display shows something totally different when looking directly and when lcd slightly tilted. This is not the case with Cubot.

[Q] Unusual & unlikely Samsung GS3 i9300 running Gingerbread

Hi everyone! Today I finally decided to register in this great community, mainly because I'm looking for help and you are the ones that can help me.
I'm Henry and as the title says, I've hold and played with a Samsung Galaxy S3 running nothing more than Gingerbread. Why and how were my first questions when I first saw it, but I haven't been able to answer that.
This is the story: a friend of mine was given that GS3 hoping that he could solve the stuttering and lagging that it had (has) after a professor of him took it to a "technician". He, being the Android lover he is became surprised, so he came to me yesterday hoping that we could bring things back to normal (install stock jelly bean), but with no avail. That "thing" has the stock recovery and is not rooted, things we found EXTREMELY weird. We spent three hours trying to root it and then install a new recovery using different tools (gingerbreak, odin, odin mobile [we realized odin mobile needs root permissions to work, but still], samsung kies, universal_gb_root, framaroot) but you guessed: nothing worked. The only thing we didn't use was SuperOneClick. We couldn't put it into download mode and when we connected it to the pc, it didn't appeared as "adb interface" or "android composite device" but appeared with another strange name that had nothing to do with samsung or android, I can't recall the name of it right now. The other things we found was that the GS3 was showing that the internal storage was just 200mb, when it's a phone with "16"gb of storage, and that the battery says SAMSONG instead of SAMSUNG.
Long story short: it was an international, unlocked Samsung Galaxy GS3 i9300 running Gingerbread. My friend got it because a professor of him wanted he to fix it because after she took it to a "technician" it was very laggy. It was not rooted, it has stock android recovery (useless) and odin won't recognize it.
Do you guys have any effing idea of what is going on and how can we fix it?
We have three hypothesis: 1) they swapped her phone with a chinese knockoff (an extremely identical and functional knockoff); 2) they swapped the GS3's hard drive; 3) they didn't know what they were doing and installed Gingerbread instead of Jelly Bean (yup, sounds unlikely).
Thank you very much for yor help and attention!

They all do. These things you listed are the easiest things to "clone". In fact, since they live in software, they could easily have been ripped out of the official firmware. A friend of mine (willingly) bought a Note 2 clone. It even has the annoying whistle notification.
It's not that accurate a clone though, if it comes with gingerbread, which the S3 never came with.

You need to prove 2 things.
1) It is a fake
2) It was not a fake before
2 is quite easy if it was supplied form an official network / carrier / provider store. 1 will involve screenshots of the about phone area and some physical shots as well as some info gained from this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cpuid.cpu_z&hl=en

You're welcome. Please let me know how you get on,
Easiest way to tell a clone is to take the back off and compare side by side with a genuine s3, the shape of the inner mouldings, position of sim and sd readers is very hard to exactly match during the reverse engineering process.
But the gingerbread and lack of download mode is conclusive in itself.
Check the imei and serial numbers on the original phone packaging against the imei of the handset you hold, if they are the same then your friend bought a clone.

[Q] No. 1 N3 [Note 3 - Replica] + Cyanogenmod?

Hey everyone!
I couple of days ago I bought this phone from alibaba.com because I got a good price for it and the specs where decent, atleast for the price.
So far, it's a great phone. It has one bug though which is that sometimes, not always, the volume will go from mute to FULL and force itself to stay there. Like if you were to try and lower the volume, either via the phone menu, or with the side buttons, it would go back up.
This is kind anoying, and these spasms lasts for maximum 30 seconds, ie after 30 seconds you can normally turn the volume down.
But overall, good phone, would've been better if it wasnt doing that. Anyways, to my question.
I want to install Cyanogen mod on this phone. That is the reason why I made this thread, to ask for help/informationg regarding this process, wether its possible or not.
Here are some information I took from the "about phone" window;
Model Number: N3
Android Version: 4.3.0
Baseband Version: N3XXUAMDK
Kernel Version: 3.4.5-526212 [email protected]#1 tue aPR 23 23:00:57 kst 2013
Build number: N3_V1.0_V01_2013
SELinux Status: Enforcing
For specifications phonewise visit this link; turns out I cannot post links yet, but just google "No.1 N3" and their main page will pop out and there are the specs. (I have the 1gb version btw, on their page it costs 199 i think)
So, is this possible? I feel like if this is some kind of software failure, installing cyanogen/or any other rom might fix it.
Also, if it isnt going to fix it, I'd still want my phone to have cyanogen if possible.
Thanks in advance everyone!
issues
Just got this phone in the mail....looks identical to note 3 butttt ...it just isn't connecting to my mobile network. Very frustrating
Radio frequencies are correct etc. I'm on Telus network, I did get a connection for 2 mins and then gone.
On the manufactures website the specs indicate it comes with 4.2 but mine has 4.3. Wondering if the 4.3 is an issue.
The status bars are all grey with a red x above them. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks
Porting cyanogen-mod is possible, but just in the way, that almost nothing is impossible.
There is no cyanogen-mod porting so far for the 6589 phones, so you have to port every driver and everything by hand.
If i were you, i would try to flash the newest no1. n3 rom and look if it runs better.
At my No.1 S6 the last firmware solved always every annoying issues from the beginning.
I haven't found a thread about this phone here yet, so i cant give you a link to the latest firmware.
I saw that needrom.com has a rom for the No. 1 N3 so you who had a problem with your phone could maybe use that.
The volume error has seem to have dissapeared now for some strange reason?
Anyways I'm happy, but I still want more discussion about this phone. It's very good actually.
Thanks to the one posted here.
Also, I have no experience with android development so me porting cyanogen to this phone would not work at all
I think i will get my N3 next week.
Now i'm on my No.1 - S6...

Is here a general discussion thread about this phone?
I got mine today, with firmware from 2013-11-18, and the camera-pictures are very noisy.
I guess this is an issue of the camera-drivers.

American noob here. XDA Developer Boocy has some interesting info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438752
I received my No.1 N3 (the lower end $179 version as a matter of poverty) with the black boot animation. I believe it shipped with the updated ROM version on http://www.needrom.com/mobile/no-1-n3-2/ . I didn't use Boocy's backup and root tutorial because the cpu name has a T at the end of it (MTK6589T) and this is Android 4.3.0... it seems this phone needs some time on the market before developers see a demand for custom ROMs and we can get a straight forward fix for the GPS issues.
MTK Droid Tools reference in Boocy's post rooted the phone with the superuser button and SuperSu (after spending 8 hours researching why my MTKDroidTools didn't have a root button as seen in some image searches).
As a noob who spent the past 3 days on this phone, MTKDroidTools rooted the phone, but none of the GPS "fixes" or apps I've found work... and GPS is essential for my job. I've researched other custom ROMs but found nothing. I"m stuck at attempting to go back to stock with the needrom.com version posted above (because I didn't know enough about creating and flashing backups until it was too late).
Please link any relevant guides that have helped you in working with this phone. Keep on Google and let the rest of us know when this phone gets the attention it deserves from the developer community! (Thank you developers!)

I've installed the first version of the stock rom from needrom.com... black boot animation. I'm installing the update, which is what I believe came on the phone, black boot animation. I don't think I've seen the white or know where it came from. I'm not sure where the boot animation is stored on the phone, but I'm assuming it is attached to the ROM and when you flash you get a different animation?
I forgot to mention I have MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.5.2... and that in rooting by pressing the SuperUser button, I replaced the HBOOT screen with CWM (when you press volume up, power on, and home screen button during boot). Not sure how I did that, but I'm still trying to figure out where the kernel, rom, and recovery screen and recovery ROM are and which one gets replaced with what. Guides appreciated.
Sorry, if GPS is so important for you, i'm afraid to say you got the wrong phone.
No Fix will make a REAL good GPS, because the antennas are not really good.
With EPO and AGPS on, my phone gets a hot fix in less than 10sec, but navigating with maps is nearly impossible.
Finding satellites inside a car with chromed windows is more than hard.
Nearly all china-phones, but specially the clones have bad gps, and i think they always will.
Better buy a better phone than a cheap samsung galaxy grand or something.

Just got this phone in the mail....looks identical to note 3 butttt ...it just isn't connecting to my mobile network. Very frustrating
Radio frequencies are correct etc. I'm on Telus network, I did get a connection for 2 mins and then gone.
On the manufactures website the specs indicate it comes with 4.2 but mine has 4.3. Wondering if the 4.3 is an issue.
The status bars are all grey with a red x above them. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks

[Q] Note 3 demo live unit .Something called watermark on display and UI permanently

Hello .Any advice would be useful.I`m new to this forum so thanks in advance for you help.My problem consists in :
I have a Samsung Note 3 demo live unit ,bought for mini tablet purpose few days ago.It had installed 4.3 on it and of course that awful retail mode when i bought it .I didn`t deactivate that retail mode ,i just proceeded for flashing a new rom ,the official kitkat ,next minutes after i bought it .after that the retail mode was gone ....i had some problems with the continuous reboot but after finding some interesting articles here on xda forum ,i solved that .It was that wireless option (allways on bug) that created the rebooting.But something still remains .I have some kind of a pic permanently on all the pages,programs,and the entire UI .....it`s like an add or banner. related to a campaign ,Samsung-Orange for autist children called, a world of happy faces....I think probably this note 3 was exposed in an Orange store along this campaign last months ...and had something installed on it .
Here is this campaign official site :
aworldofhappyfaces.com
I have a picture like that flower banner (which can be seen on that website ) permanently on my screen everrywhere.I heard it`s called a watermark.I`m not sure.But what i know It is that is stressing me deeply ,especialy when i try to use my spen in notes ,you can observe it better .It is also very pregnant on white and any other light colors as well.
I tried to find something related to it in all aplication manager ,anything to deactivate it ..but nothing present.Of course i tried factory reset,hard reset ,but didn`t help either.What can i do ?
It is possible that this thing to be somehow linked to this demo live motherboard or is it a software -hardware problem ,something implemented which isn`t intended to be removed.
Kind regards,
Catalin
ps:it gets more strange than this when i try to capture a screenshot ...on the screenshot that background banner can be observed but when i transfer it in my computer it isn`t there

Have you tried checking the screen for any film that might need peeling?

hello thanks for answering ........well in the first instance i didn`t check .earlier i did it ,and it doesn`t seem to have any film or screen protector ,sticker ,etc attached on the exterior of the display.I took a good look in all the corners ,tried with my nails to see if i can remove something which cannot be seen with the bare eye ,but it seems nothing like that is present here.And to be honest i never heard that a galaxy device to come with a built in film protector ....but given the fact this is a demo live ,it came into my mind that this thing could be possilbe.Anyway at this point i think there isn`t anything attached there.Is it somehow possible that the display itself to be manufactured especially for that campaign ?..with that dim sticker into it ...i mean something like a hardware characteristic! if i had any other display for note 3 i would have tried a short replacement to see if this is the problem ,but i dont`t have .
It is possilbe to be something beneath the glass ...between lcd and gorilla glass?
I know this is a old topic but I don't know if you had figured this one out.
The thing you are/were seeing is a burned logo in the display. Most probably the unit was stuck on that screen while playing demo videos in the store.
I work in a telecom store and I've seen them a lot.
Thought might be interesting to know this.
