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 ...
w8 beyond dead
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.

When work was mounted W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618
I followed this guide
h**p://***.tinhte.vn/threads/thl-w8-beyond-recovery-root-may.2132474/ # post-38561380
in the end I also showed the window of ok with the green circle but by that time you are no longer on again.
if I connect it to the PC you will hear the sound that is connected but nothing happens

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.

Hi all,
Please I am making another thread on the topic of lost root after an update of 4.3 on my S3 GT I9300, Plus no pc/laptop is recognizing my phone , When ever I connect USB windows says unknown device, windows error code 10 and 43. I would run my phone without root but after update the phone is not register network, IMEI is there in setting/about phone/status , But even for bringing network back I have to root the phone and I spended 3 days finding stuff if I am able to root the phone without pc suport.
I am really frustreted & can't handle anymore so, please developers if anyone of you can see and get me a flashable zip file package which I can flash over system recovery to get root. Details of the firmware are as follow....
Bootloader: I9300XWUGML4
Build: JSS15J.I9300XWUGML4
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband: I9300DDUGNB1
Kernel Ver: 3.0.31-2363855 [email protected] #1 Fri Dec 27 20:00:26 KST 2013
Please Developers Help or my phone has become a toy for kids to play games.
I have tried all the possible methods, I mean by framaroot, iroot, rootmaster, and somany other apps which I can download through wifi and run on the phone. I am able to go to recovery/download mode but pc is not recongnizing my phone I think the update has mas up something on the phone and operating system. So, for all the aspects I require to have root whether I wish to flash custom rom, custom recovery, stock rom through mobile odin or anything. I have read and tried to apply anything that has come across to me in last few days but no luck. :crying: I hope this thread would bring my luck back and my phone will be as earlier. Please help and reply earliest.
Thanks in advance.
Perform a factory reset. Reinstall the device drivers in PC and then try connecting.
Good morning.
I got this Tablet from my company but it has allready pre-installed some OS that doesnt let it work as a normal tablet,but a company software,so i want to clean it up,and install a android software 4.2 JB or something that could make this tablet to work again as a normal tablet,and not with the company software.
In this link,i tried to download it,but didnt manage to run it,cause at some point the computer needs to recognise the tablet in order to run this file "RKBatchTool" from witch there you can tell the device where to look and get the new OS - Root etc,and that is not possible.
I also tried hitting this aswell , but here i couldnt even get to downloading something ( or i am doing something wrong) cause no files are beeing downloaded from there or something like that.
In general i need to find something that can fit in the Prestigio MultiPad 4 Quantum (OS-Root-Firmware) something that will change the pre-installed things that are allready installed.
I tried to google a lot of things,but no hope :/
Some help pls...
Any hope ?
Any ideas ? (
Thanks in advance.

Hi , try to put your phone into Download mode , and use latest Odin version in order to re-flash the latest stock version of OS if you are note sure which one is , just send me 7 and 8 number from imei ...
Thank you for your answer, I managed to fix my phone by flashing the latest firmware. I was downloading it from a website and it turns out it wasn't the last one.
After I looked on different site, I went on sammobile and I downloaded the latest version, It took me one entire day, the download speed was slow AF and my internet connection crashed in the middle of it.
I had to ask a friend to download it at his place and then, bring it to me.
I'm really happy, I managed to fix it.
