Hello,
I'm new to flashing and installing ROM on android phones.
I enabled root in this phone.
I wanted to install JellyBean 4.2.2.
After a long search on the internet and a lot of trying I decided to open a thread here.
My phone is Star N800 MTK6575 with Android 4.0.4.
When I tried to install ROM through recovery mode it showed me this:
"Failed to verify whole-file signature"
I tried to install ClockWorkMode Recovery without success
SP flash tool and Odin also disappointed me..
Could anyone help me please?
Maybe I did something wrong, can you please explain me step by step how to upgrade this phone?
Please help me, every answer will be appreciated.
Thank you!
P.S
I think I found the problem.
When I plug in my phone in the usb, when it's turn off and without the battery, I see it in the Device Manager appearing and then disconnecting.
I tried to change the Power Settings but it didn't help. Anyone faced this problem in the past and knows how to fix it?
HELP ME PLEASE :crying:
I have just received my Iocean X7 Elite and was about to install a new rom. I had successfully rooted the device and then was trying to flash
the recovery with SP Flash Tool.
After the recovery flashed my phone refuses to turn on I believe its somehow bricked but have no idea how this could have happened. I did
format flash i only downloaded the recovery to the device.
In Device Manager when i plug the phone it it either shows up as 'DA USB VCOM Port' or 'MTK USB Port'.
When I try to use SP Tool to flash the stock Rom back onto the device I get an error saying 'BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL(4032)'
I have no idea what to do next can someone help me.
I have tried what this thread suggests:
bump
same as u..but differ phone model.(N9589)
had a few upgrd...til the recent brick it.
Tried a few version of flash tool and still the same

Same problem here - tried to install stock firmware and got this error...
these are common problems when flashing MT65xx based phones,
ie : error 4008, 4xxx, 5xxx whatever those codes mean, no explanation after extensive search on google.
once I managed to flash this one phone successfully, but I don't know exactly what I did.
as long as I recall, I tried to delete the whole flashtool folders, re-extract them, let the phone cool down a bit
and oh, try to press volume up, or down button (varies on devices) while connecting to USB, once the flashing progress bar starts, release the button.
In the flashtool option, at the OPTIONS-->DA DOWNLOAD ALL-->, check WITHOUT BATTERY.
and in the option, DA DOWNLOAD ALL--> SPEED, check DO NOT SWITCH SPEED.
try flashing your phone without battery inserted, it works many times for me.
NOTE : BEWARE, flashing your MTK65xx based phone, sometimes this tool tried to REMOVE YOUR PHONE's IMEI information, so take caution !
I haven't managed how to prevent IMEI removal when flashing those phones, because I'm not a developer.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply, but this doesn't help... ;(
Anyone?
I think I figured out that the error above means you are trying to flash an incorrect ROM. Make sure you are using the right one and also make sure you're using the latest version of sp flash tool.
Once I downloaded a later version of the flash tool it began installing the ROM but then a different error appeared.
So I formatted the nand with the sp flash tool.
Then I flashed the stock ROM again and it worked
Formatting it seemed to make the errors go away even though its advised not to do so.

I fixed this error by completely removing and reinstalling other drivers for mtk vcom loader

I've had the same problem with the following installation Sp Tools
SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1316.0.150
Rom: MP_mt89_v9_iocean_ousheng_jb2_20130520-184014_zhongyeqing_PC

Iocean X7 Youth
I don't have the same problem but i flashed the latest version of official rom for iOcean x7 Youth : 03 july 2013 : and wtf no more internal sdcard only the rom stockage. So i can't download anything, i can't use camera .
On the official website, I read that before flashing the 20 may 2013 rom one and the 03 July 2013 one, your baseband version have to be 23/04 or higher( you have to flash the 23/04 official rom first). This is only avalaible for the YOUTH version.
So tomorrow i will try what i said below to see if i have internal sd card again.
noob question::: since the iocean x7 young and turbo are the same phones...only different clock rates...will flashing the firmware for turbo on iocean x7 young work??assuming that the mtk6589T and mtk6589 are the same chipset only different clock rates??

Clearly: Wrong driver. I had also this error. SPflash tool did not readback. I did not flash anything! I fixed this by showing the nonpresent devices in devicemanagement (google for show nonpresent devices for explanation)
Go to com ports, and delete all mediatek drivers except preloader driver. Now start over. It can help if you choose the same usb port where you had success last time.
SP flash tool shows in the statusbar which driver it is using.

Yes, you got it
SP Flash Tool couldn't find my phone, but now it works
It's exactly a windoze driver problem.
Going to devicemanagement, in LAN-Devices I a had an Alcatel device,
chosing driver by hand and use the mtk usb driver, now Flashtool finds the phone
Thanks a lotttttttt....

Hi all,
i just started with the KDZ update to recover my bricked phone (i rooted it before begin bricked) so i cant get a normal fix. When it goes for 5% it shows me this error:
- drivers/mstrgen.sys file search fail
I just wanna know if i have to get another program to install the missing file... i'm using windows 8.1
I attached an image file of the error.
Thank you all!
I'd reinstall all lg drivers again, new kzd updater offline version. If that doesen't work maybe you should search google "fix mstrgen.sys windows 8"
I will give you my kzd updater/flasher tomorow.

You could adb twrp to the phone, and get a nandroid backup from somewhere.
