ActiveSync :This program by Microsoft is what we all use to connect to our computers at work or at home. It allows contacts, tasks, emails and Calendar events to be synchronised with Outlook aswell as such things as media and favorites. In Windows Vista this has been replaced by the Windows Mobile Device Center. In addition ActiveSync allows browsing of the device in Windows Explorer. ActiveSync download link
AKU: Adaptation Kit Update - they usually patch up existing bugs and enable several new features. Each newly released AKU pack retains fixes found in previous versions of AKU. Starting with Windows Mobile 5 Microsoft began a policy of updates similar to that of the desktop windows. Rather the replacing the whole OS some functionality may be added. For example AKU 2.0 introduced push mail. These updates are distributed through the OEMs and are given to the consumer in form of ROM updates. Note that OEM may choose not to create an update with the latest AKU for their devices. Getting an AKU for your phone is like getting the SP2 (Service Pack 2) for your Windows Xp.
Application Unlock: Most Windows Mobile devices only allow you to load applications that have an acceptable digital signature. If you try to edit the registry or load an application it will give you an error. Application Unlocking removes this barrier and allows you to install any application or edit the registry to your liking.
Baked ROM : that the original shipped complete ROM (CE, Extended and radio) has been modified. A Baked ROM could have a CE ROM from one operator, a Radio stack from a second operator, an Extended ROM from a third operator or even a “cooked” extended ROM.
Bootloader : The bootloader is the first thing to load once you turn on the device, this does the job of booting up the device hardware and loading various items into memory before the ROM starts in the device. The bootloader is also responsible for enabling the flashing of new ROMs and other components such as the Radio and the Ext_ROM. Two modified bootloaders for the Hermes are HardSPL and SSPL. To enter the bootloader, press and hold the OK and POWER buttons while inserting the stylus into the reset hole on the bottom of the Hermes.
.CAB Files : Cabinet - is the Microsoft Windows native compressed archive format. cab files are files used to install programs. cab files are similar to what you might know as .exe files from your PC. cab files can be downloaded directly to your Hermes with Wifi or GPRS, you can also transfer them to your Hermes using File Explorer on your PC. cab files are not supposed to be unpacked/unzipped on the PC. Copy the intact .cab file as you downloaded it directly to your Hermes
Chef / Cook : Its a term coined by the developer community to refer to people who build custom ROMs ( ie; people who cooks ROM ).
CID lock (aka vendor lock): Carrier Id - put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them. Commonly used in the form `CID-Unlocking`. If you purchase your phone (example) from 3Mobile (3Mobile is the ‘carrier’), your phone will only accept 3Mobile ROMs (the carrier’s ROMs). If you want to flash ROMs from other carrier, you’ll need to CID-unlock your phone, so that your phone will accept other ROMs. All bootloaders (apart from HardSPL and SSPL) will only allow a ROM with the correct CID to be flashed onto the device. A device which has been CID unlocked will have ‘SuperCID’ which allows ANY ROM to be loaded onto the device, SuperCID also unlocks the Ext_ROM and allows it to be mounted. Note: In general, the phrase ‘unlock your phone’ usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.
Cooked ROM : means that the ROM has been modified with other files
CustomRUU: is an RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) which has support for all SPL versions including HardSPL and SSPL.
Device Lock : The device lock is a today screen plugin that locks all the buttons (and the touch screen) until you unlock it, it will allow you to answer calls. To use it simply tap the ‘device unlocked’ today item and it will lock the device, to unlock press the left hand soft key and tap the unlock button on screen.
Dopod 838 Pro / i-mate JASJAM / O2 Xda Trion / HTC TyTN : all of these are essentially the same device
ExtROM: Extended ROM - is the section of the ROM which the distributor of the phone (eg O2, T-Mobile, iMate, etc) store their customization (eg Today theme, ring tones, extra software) data. In WM5, the customization data will be automatically installed after the initial configuration (after every hardreset), just after the security section. In most cases, ExtROM can be unlocked to allow users to store/build their own customizations that will be automatically installed upon every hardreset.
Firmware: This is a piece of software that is stored in a device to make it function. It is, unlike ordinary software, usually semi-permanent and resides in a non-volatile storage area which is unaffected by “hard resetting” a device. The term usually refers to low-level code that controls individual hardware components such as a radio rom.
Flashing : a ROM is the process putting a new ROM on your device or otherwise know as upgrading.
Hard Reset : Switch the device off. Press and hold the Left SOFT KEY and Right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device. You will be presented with a menu saying ‘press R to reset, X to exit’. If you press R, your device will be set back to factory default settings. Hard Reset will delete all data you have put on the device: Programs, Settings, Mail, SMS, MMS, etc., so be careful and make a backup before doing this. After a hard reset, you will have a complete clean new install of Windows Mobile on your device. Data on \Storage Card & \Extended_Rom folder will not be deleted
HardSPL : This modified bootloader (by Olipro>>xda-developers) allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your Hermes device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing.
IPL: Initial Program Loader - It boots up SPL. Its the bootloader for PPC, much like the BIOS is the boot loader for your PC. Note: IPL/SPL are highly hardware dependent, flashing the wrong IPL/SPL is much more serious than a flashing the wrong ROM. It may be noted that, sometimes a ROM package also contains the IPL/SPL which will be flashed into your phone. Hence be extra careful what you are flashing. Note: although a ROM may also contains the IPL/SPL
OEM : Original Equipment Manufacturer - is a company that supplied equipment to other companies to resell or incorporate into another product using the reseller’s brand name.
OS: Operating System - the platform software for your phone, much like the Windows Xp/Vista for your PC. Upgrading the OS is like, in PC terms upgrading from Windows XP to Windows Vista. Os for PPC are WM2002, WM 2003, WM2003SE, WM5, WM6
PIE : Pocket Internet Explorer - is the default browser that comes with the Windows Mobile Operating System.
PPC : Pocket PC - is a hardware specification for a Personal digital assistant that runs the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system.
Program memory: The non-persistent memory part of WM5, which is used for all the temporary memory requirements, much like the RAM of your PC. A soft-reset or flat battery will erase everything from the program memory. You can’t adjust the ratio of Storage memory and Program memory in WM5 like WinCE2003.
Radio: commonly used in the form `upgrading the Radio/GSM` - in the field of ROM upgrading. The `Radio` is essentially a ROM that controls the phone function part (as oppose to PDA function part) of your phone. Upgrading this `Radio` software may have effect on your phone reception quality, battery life (optimized phone function), signal strength, etc.
RIL: Radio Interface Layer -
ROM: Read Only Memory - commonly used in the form of `ROM upgrade`. The ROM is the firmware/software, which controls everything on your phone. ROM itself usually comes in a package, with IPL/SPL, OS, Radio, and ExtRom. However, in most cases, `upgrading a ROM` usually means just the OS and the ExtRom, as these are the obvious/visible part of an ROM upgrade.
RTM : Release to Manufacturing or Ready to Market.
RUU: ROM Upgrade Utility - Its the s/w used on your PC to do a ROM upgrade for your PPC
SIP : Software Input Panel - for devices that does not have a hardware keyboard the SIP is used to enter data on to the PPC eg: the software keyboard, Symbol Pad, Block Recoganizer, etc . Note : SIP can also stand for Session Initiation Protocol , check the wikipedia entry SIP as a voice over IP protocol.
Smartphone : Pre WM6 class, Smartphone is defined as a mobile phone which offers advanced capabilities like that of a PC. It will not have a touchscreen as compared to a Pocket PC. With the introduction of WM6 all mobile phone devices running Windows Mobile are no classed as Windows Mobile powered Smartphones
Soft Reset : Put your stylus in the hole in the lower left corner. Soft Reset will reboot your device just like when you reboot your PC. No data will be lost, under normal circumstances.
SPL: Secondary Program Loader - Loads the actual OS.
SSPL : is a modified bootloader (by Des) which is loaded into RAM when run, this allows us to overwrite any aspect of the ROM, Radio or Bootloader far easier than using mtty.
Storage memory: The persistent memory part of WM5, where all the files and documents are kept, much like the hard disk of your PC. Data in the storage memory is unaffected by soft-reset or a flat battery. You can’t adjust the ratio of Storage memory and Program memory in WM5 like WinCE2003.
SuperCID : by CID unlocking your device the value of the CID is changed to SuperCID . This allows the flashing of ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier and also unlocks the read/write capability of the Ext_ROM.
Touch Cube : usually simply referred to as the Cube. It is a 3d navigation interface created by HTC that uses their TouchFlo technology. The interface was introduced with the HTC Touch and has since been used in several other devices. It has also been ported to devices that pre-date the Touch.
TouchFlo : This is the HTC version of the flick-to-scroll technology often associated with the iPhone. This is not to be confused with the Touch Cube which is another HTC technology. It was 1st seen in HTC Touch.
TouchFlo 3D : this was code named ” Manilla ” and is another HTC technology , its an extension on to the today screen to give the user a finger friendly approach to using the PPC. It was 1st seen with the Touch Diamond.
UI : User Interface - some notable examples would be TouchFlo, PointUI
USSD : Unstructured Supplementary Service Data - is a capability of all GSM phones. It is generally associated with real-time or instant messaging type phone services. There is no store-and-forward capability that is typical of ‘normal’ short messages. Response times for interactive USSD based services are generally quicker than those used for SMS. Its used to send text between a mobile phone and an application program in the network eg: *123# for balance etc.
USIM : Universal Subscriber Identity Module - is an SIM for UMTS mobile telephony running on 3G mobile network.
WindowsCE / WinCE : aka Windows Embedded CE since version 6.0 Microsoft has stated that the ‘CE’ is not an intentional initialism, but many people believe CE stands for ‘Consumer Electronics’ or ‘Compact Edition’;The first version, was known during development under the codename “Pegasus”.
WM: Windows Mobile - the OS of the PPC
WM Classic : Windows Mobile Classic - the OS for PPC device without a phone.
WM Professional : Windows Mobile Professional - the OS for Phone enabled device with a touchscreen (formerly Phone Edition).
WM Standard : Windows Mobile Standard - the OS for Phone enabled device without a touchscreen (formerly Smartphone).
WWE Edition: World Wide English Edition - Its usually appended along with new ROM releases , to show that its a ROM that will have English as the default Language
WDA : Wireless Digital Assistant - This is the term that Hewlett Packard coined with their new 928 WDA Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition which integrates a cell phone with a Pocket PC.
XDA : Extended Digital Assistant - This the term that O2 coined with their new Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition which integrates a cell phone with a Pocket PC.
XIP : Execute in Place - The execution of a program stored in ROM or flash that is run directly from the location where it is stored. The execution does not require the program to be copied into ram before execution. This reduces the amount of ram that an application requires since it does not all have to load into RAM.
AKU: Adaptation Kit Update - they usually patch up existing bugs and enable several new features. Each newly released AKU pack retains fixes found in previous versions of AKU. Starting with Windows Mobile 5 Microsoft began a policy of updates similar to that of the desktop windows. Rather the replacing the whole OS some functionality may be added.

Starting...
As someone with some experience in the embedded development field I will try to explain the procedure to successfully hook an MTK phone up to a computer. I make this work to be as thorough and logical as possible. My target is, provideing all who is interested about chinese mircale phones to make the best and safety action on MTK based phones. I hope you find this thread useful.
Let's begin.
What are we dealing with?
My preferred way of looking at MTK based cell phones is that of looking at small ARM
based embedded platforms. The MTK baseband chips have 33-66 MHz ARM cores. They
come with 4-8 megabytes of SDRAM, and either a NOR or NAND flash for storage.
Q: Is it possible, in theory to run Android on these phones?
A: No. Android has much higher minimum requirements.
My target when interfacing with these phones is to read/write the contents of the flash chip, so we will focus on that for a bit.
The flash chip contains 2 things: the firmware and a file system section. The firmware of course is the program (OS) that works the phone. It handles user interface, communicates with all the attached devices (microSD card, camera, BT module, GSM module, etc..) it’s the central piece of program.
Firmware
MediaTek sells a reference firmware platform to its licensees which they all use (after varying levels of modification). What this means is that all MediaTek firmwares are based on the same code base, and thus all MTK phones have similar, if not identical basic features. For example:basic UI code, such as language handling, input handling, and resource handling code will be the same. This is why a single MTK Firmware Editor can open almost all MTK firmwares, and successfully edit the resources contained within.
This reference platform comes with no support for external executables. All functionality is linked into the firmware at compile time, so adding new features or applications afterwards is infeasible, and without months of reverse engineering, by skilled developers, impossible.There are no such projects so at the time of writing there is no way to run outside code on the MTK platform (unless the firmware of interest has Java support, or NES emu compiled in).
Q: Can I add new apps to the phone?
A: No. (Unless your firmware has Java support or NES emu)
Q: Can I create my own apps that run natively on the phone’s CPU?
A: No.
Usually release firmwares come compiled with a specific set of drivers for the target hardware configuration. Different model phones will not have the same type of LCD display, FM tuner chip, BT chip, camera(s) etc.. But there’s no guarantee that same model phones, manufactured on different dates do either. Indeed same model phones manufactured just a few weeks (or days) apart can have different hardware. It is because of this that 5 different firmware versions of Model X could have been release not because of firmware improvements/bugfixes, but because the hardware in the phone has changed and new drivers were required.
What this also means is that most of the time trying to “upgrade” the firmware on these phones will result in bricking, or the loss or malfunction of an attached device (display, camera(s), BT, etc.)
For example: White screen, black screen, no screen, after flashing, but hearing the phone play the startup chime is because the phone’s display is either different, or connected differently in hardware, and the driver in the firmware we’ve flashed isn’t able to handle it. Similarly, loss of camera support, or malfunctioning keys are all symptoms of this.
A number of firmwares MAY have several drivers compiled into them, with the right one being selectable from the Engineer Menu, so in some cases that may work. Also a model’s hardware configuration may be stagnant, because of an overabundance of the parts used in the original design, in this case upgrading would be feasible, and likely worth it. Sadly however, this is not the case most of the time. It is because of this, and other factors that I’ll talk about
later, that it is HIGHLY recommended to ALWAYS BACK UP the FULL flash image, that was originally on the phone. 5-10 minutes of annoyance, can save you hours/days of frustration.
Q: Can I use firmwares from other MTK phones? They have features I want.
A: 90% chance the phone won’t even start. 100% it won’t work entirely right.
Q: Can I upgrade the firmware version on my phone?
A: You can try, but ALWAYS BACK UP the original flash content, as it’s
unlikely that you’ll get the desired outcome.
Identifying firmwares by version
MTK firmwares have a so called, version code, that when entered will output the firmware version of the phone. You can find a set of these in Appendix A, but the most common ones are *#8375#, and *#4853*#
The phone should immediately display the version screen once you enter the correct code.You should not need to press anything else. If it does not, then you’re not trying the right code for your phone. It is also likely, that your phone has a code that isn’t in the Appendix, as one of the first things some firmware developers seem to do is change these to a random value.When entering these codes you will get a version string (ex.: A6V2.2.2) and a Build Time(ex.:2007/12/04 18:31)
Now you might think that checking just one of these would be enough to identify the firmware, and you would be wrong. The two firmwares below are different, and the hardware of the two phones doesn’t match. So flashing one of these to a phone that had the other one on
it originally, will produce a white screen, and unusable phone.
* A6V2.2.2 - [BUILD TIME: 2007/12/04 18:31]
* A6V2.2.2 - [BUILD TIME: 2007/12/18 14:46]
This can also happen the other way around with Build Times being identical and version strings being different. It is my experience that comparing both string and build time is sufficient to discern firmware versions, but I usually read back the first 10kilobytes of the firmware from the phone and compare it with the version I have on file, just to make sure.
File system
The file system section comes after the firmware on the flash chip. Different flashing solutions call it differently including FAT, FFS, NVRAM, System/User FS, etc..
This section contains several actual file systems (FAT12, FAT32) on top of a proprietary structured data store layer. I know of no software that can handle this top layer, so access to the file systems within is only possible through the phone itself for the time being. These file
systems contain all the data used by the firmware from system data like device driver settings, to user data like the phonebook, messages, or data account settings. When people refer to formatting a phone, they’re referring to these file systems. Formatting as with formatting file systems on regular PC hard disks, or flash drives erases all data stored in these file systems. Upon starting the phone after a format it will recreate all of its needed files inside these file
systems, and fill them with hardcoded defaults. This includes all calibration data, and device driver settings. Contrary to popular belief formatting these file systems without backing up is anything but safe. As hardcoded defaults can differ from factory set values, so there could beseveral things that you’re influencing by letting the phone use the hardcoded defaults. It is best to back up the FAT of each phone that passes through your hands, as they’re only a small portion of the flash content so it takes about 15-30 seconds, and once again: You may be saving yourself from lots of frustration in the long run. What you should keep in mind about the file system is that IMEI, and personal data are also stored here, so you may want to think twice about publishing your firmwares with FAT included, because of the privacy issue. Also if the people who end up using your firmware are ignorant to these facts, they could end up
making several phones that use the same IMEI (Yours!). Which depending on carrier, may result in banning the IMEI from the network, instantly rendering all phones that use it, inoperable, or another case, where a phone with said IMEI is reported stolen.
Supposing you have 10 phones with the same firmware, you download the firmware from Phone #1 modify it with an editor, save a Full Image then flash said image onto Phones #2- #10. You now have 10 phones with the SAME IMEI. What you should’ve done is either back up the file systems from all the phones and write the originals back after the full flash, or if possible, patch-flashed your phones. (This means flashing only the parts you wish to modify and leaving the rest of the flash chip intact, this isn’t always possible.)
Another thing to keep in mind is that there could be factory protections that use the file system. For example the PSN protection: in this protection form, a serial code generated from a unique hardware ID is stored in a file on the file system. If you flash a full image from one of these phones onto another, even if they’re the same version, the target phone will start up with “Register Mercury” And will STOP FUNCTIONING after a few weeks. If you haven’t backed up the file system of such a phone you essentially have a phone that needs a file system reformat every few weeks to start up, or in other words, a phone that can’t be sold. Few repair boxes can fix PSN, and they’re expensive. So once again: The thing to keep in mind is to ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP. Best is to have full backups, but at the very least, if you already have a full backup for the specific firmware version on the phone, you should still take that 1 minute to back up the file systems from all the phones. You just may be thanking yourself later.
Q: What should I back up?
A: At least 1 full backup per fw version, and the file systems section for each phone.

There are usually at least 2 ways in which you can interface with an MTK phone. With the supplied data cable: through USB, through a 3.3v serial UART, and through BT.The grid below illustrates what you can do with each interface.
As you can see, you can’t access the flash chip with the supplied USB Data Cable. You will need to buy an interface for the Serial UART of the phone if you wish to access it. This is unfortunate, but there’s no way around it. But wait, you say. Your phone has a COM Port in the USB Menu, so surely you could use that. You could not. The usb virtual UART cannot be active at the time it would be needed to boot and flash the phone, as it is only active while the firmware’s running.
The RS/EIA232 Serial UART (or commonly just: serial port) is a very common interface supported by almost every computing platform in the world. Older PCs have COM Ports for example. Those would be an example. Most microcontrollers have either software or hardware based UARTs (universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter). Serial ports require at the minimum 3 wires to work. One Tx(that the device transmits on) one Rx(that the device receives on) and the ground. There are however differences in electrical specifications, and supported data transfer rates. The MTK platform is a 3.3v based system. That means that that most everything in the phone is running off 3.3volts that is generated by a voltage regulator connected to the 3.7v battery. The maximum voltage for logical HIGH states is 3.3volts. The serial port works at 3.3volts as well. On the other hard, a PC’s serial port works at 12volts. You do not wish to connect a 3.3volt system to a 12 volt system directly.
Direct COM Interface (slow)
This is where level shifters come into play: one example of an RS232 level shifter would be the MAX3232.
If you build the above schematic, and supply it 3-5 volts (Phone’s battery works fine) you would be ready to hook up to your MTK phone through your PC’s Com port. Great! If you have one of these chips lying around, this would be your cheapest and quickest solution.
Another option to further simplify the circuit above would be the MAX3233, which has integrated capacitors.
Be sure to use 3233, and not 233. 233 works on 5v, and the phone battery only supplies around 4.2 when fully charged. (In practice 233 would most probably work just as well, but if you have a choice to get either one, get 3233.)
However PC serial ports regardless of what their drivers’ report are limited to 115200 bits per second.
Let’s do the math:
(16 megabytes) / (115 200 bits) = 1 165.08444
1165 seconds = 19.4166667 minutes
20 minutes to read a common 16megabyte firmware chip. Not the fastest solution everinvented. 32 megabyte chips are gaining ground in the MTK platform, but I’ve already seen 64 and 128 megabyte NOR chips as well.
(64 megabytes) / (115 200 bits) = 4 660.33778
4660 seconds = 77.6666667 minutes
If you’re patient, this solution would indeed work for you. But it’s far from ideal, and is not generally used except by hobbyists who are just looking to flash their own phones once in a while. If you feel that you fit in this category, go right on ahead.
USB Serial Interface
The serial ports on MTK phones support up to 460800 bits per second. But how can you take advantage of that with a PC? Through a USB Serial cable. Unlike regular PC serial ports USB Serial chips are capable of speeds of up to 921600 bits per second. The MTK phone will initiate communication at this speed, but it won’t be stable, only at 460800 does it work reliably. Let’s check the math again.
(16 megabytes) / (460 800 bits) = 291.271111
291 seconds = 4.85 minutes
Now that’s a lot more promising In practice you can get close to 5 minutes during readbacks.Flashing is usually somewhat slower.
That said, you shouldn’t go out and buy just any USB Serial cable, as the ones that come with a DB9 socket, and sold as USB Serial Ports were made to be used as replacements of regular PC serial ports. So you would probably have the same problems with them as with regular serial ports. They might have on-chip level shifting, that you can’t even disable, or have extra chips that you would need to remove. What you should look for are flashing cables sold for cell phones. There are several available online for an assortment of models, most of them can be modified for the purpose. The procedure differs based on what kind of serial port the phone has that the cable was made for, and what kind of usb-serial converter chip is used, and
whether the cable has any plus features, or the phone any additional steps required to initiate communication on the cable.
For example I used a PL2303 based Nokia DKU-5 clone.
The PL2303 has a special pin that sets the voltage at which the serial port should work. This had to be connected to a 3.3volt regulator that I had to add externally as the PCB of the cable was in a “poured” connector, and couldn’t be accessed without force, and possible damage. PL2303 based cables don’t necessarily have this pin exposed. They could be connected to a 3.3volt regulator on-board, in which case no modification would be needed to use it.
These are FTDI chip based cables. FTDI chips are the chips of choice for usb serial interfacing, so they should be ideal for this purpose, and since you’re buying a cable that was intended for another MTK phone you shouldn’t need to modify anything, except the connector.
Another way for connection:
"The Multimeter method"
1. Plug your new connector into your phone, with solder pads/pins exposed
2. Put Multimeter into fault-check. (or if unavailable, then it’s highest resistance range)
3. Keep negative Multimeter probe on negative battery connector in phone.
4. Touch each pin of the connector in sequence with the other probe until you hear a beep ( or see 0.000 resistance )
5. Note this connector pin as GNDPin
6. Now install battery and switch on Phone
7. Put Multimeter into DC voltage measurement
8. Keep negative Multimeter probe on GNDPin
9. Touch other pins of the connector in sequence and note pins that have voltage between 2.6 and 2.9 volts.(be careful not to short pins )
10. You should end up with a list of 2 or 3 pins. RX and TX will be among these.
11. Try all combinations of RX and TX with these pins you found.
I’ve found several hundred pinouts with the method above. It works 99% of the time, and takes about 2 minutes once you’re in practice.
So you now have your RX, TX, GND wires on your interface end, and your pinout or set of pinouts to try for the phone. It’s time to dive into the flashing in practice.
Flashing theory
After the connection has been established, flashing the phone happens the following way:
Phone is turned off.
Boot process is initiated on the PC in the flashing software. This continuously starts sending a certain byte out on the serial port.
The phone’s power button is pressed, phone reads it’s com port, and if it detects this byte it goes into remote boot mode, otherwise starts the firmware. The piece of software that does this is an internal bootloader that is inaccessible and protected. Meaning, that you will never lose the ability to flash your phone, as long as the hardware is intact, regardless of how much you mess it up while flashing. You can’t corrupt the bootloader, so you will be able to connect to your phone even if the flash chip is completely empty. Once the phone has entered remote boot mode, the flashing software sends it a piece of code called a Download Agent, or DA. The bootloader loads the DA up into ram and starts executing it. This piece of code is actually what’s doing all the hard work related to flashing: Detecting the onboard flash chip, reading and writing content and communicating on the
serial port. The flashing software on the PC side merely sends commands to the DA from this point on.
DA Bugs:
It’s worth mentioning that the DA, like all other pieces of software can have bugs. As the DA is a closed source piece of proprietary software, these are also unlikely to be fixed. One such persistent bug is that certain 32meg+ flash chips cannot be patch flashed.What’s patch flashing you ask? Patch flashing is writing only a specific section into the flash chip, say 414 bytes starting at 0x223421, instead of everything from 0x0 to <CHIP_SIZE>
Boxes
Flashing boxes are capable of opening the Security Zone before a full flash. No, let me rephrase that: The software that comes with flashing boxes is capable of opening the Security Zone before a full flash, allowing the full flashing of phones; this is actually one of the many
things that warrant their existence. Boxes are essentially hardware keys that protect the software that was coded for them, combined with USB Serial adapters. Some also include dynamic pin configuration and automatic pinout finding circuitry. They can cost several hundred USD, but come with support, cables for most MTK phones and flashing software. Some also provide firmware editing software, either in the basic package or as an addon for a fee. Qualities of these vary from box to box.
Flashing in practice, using MTK flashtool
MTK FlashTool is the “official” tool used to flash MTK phones. It’s used by the factories and developers. It is also where the DA originates from.
The features of MTK FlashTool include
· Reading(Read-back) and Writing(Download) the flash
· Formatting the File systems
Probaly guides and videos already posted in forum but ı want to inform everybody by pictures.
Reading a full backup with MTK FlashTool
This is MTK FlashTool. You can set your Serial Port settings in the Options menu. If you’re using the Direct COM interface, select COM1/2 and 115200 bps from the Baudrate submenu. Otherwise select the virtual com port number of your USB serial cable, and 460800. Also set Options->Operation Method->NOR (this book only talks about NOR flash)
Click over to the Read Back tab, remove everything you may find in the list, then click Add.
This is what you should see:
Now double click on ROM_0, and Select where you wish to save your image.
Then you will be greeted with the dialog below
It’s fairly obvious what we need to do here. For a full backup we will start at address 0x0000000, this means the very beginning of the flash chip. The length has to be equal the size of our flash chip. Don’t know this? Try reading a small chunk first, and I’ll show you how to find it.
Click Ok, and Click Read back. At this point you should have your phone physically connected to the PC, with it being switched off. Push the power button. Your phone should start booting the DA, nothing will appear on most models while doing this. Some will turn on the back light, some will produce a hissing sound through their speaker. These are all normal.
If the phone turns on and starts the firmware, then your interface, settings are wrong/faulty If you’ve used the Multimeter method now would be the time to try the next possible combination. If it just doesn’t seem to work in any combination, you should loopback test
your interface cable. Or it’s also possible that your phone doesn’t have UART on it’s data cable connector, only on test points, at this time I’m not going to write about finding the right test points on such phones.
Try and try again, until it works. If you’ve read your first backup, Congrats!
Ok, now if you didn’t know your flash chip size the bottom right corner is where you should look, after your initial smaller readback.
You’re interested in NOR: (256Mb+64Mb)
What this means is that this phone has NOR Flash, 256 MegaBITs of it, and 64 MegaBITs of RAM.
Now you can use Google.
Use the following search without the quotes, and substitute the number you got:
“256 *131072 in hex” The result in this case:
256 * 131 072 = 0x2000000
0x2000000 is what you would need to enter in the length field to get a full backup of this chip.
As a quick reference:
128 MB = 0x1000000 (usual file system start: 0xE00000, length:0x200000)
256 MB = 0x2000000 (usual file system start: 0x1C00000, length: 0x400000)
512 MB = 0x4000000
Full Flashing with MTK FlashTool
Full flashing, with no regard for the Security Zone, as discussed above, this will create bricked phone unless you continue with the the fullflash guide, have an image with an open Security Zone, or one with Security Zone protection disabled.
First open notepad (that’s right notepad) Insert the following line:
ROM 0x0
And save it as reflash.txt
Now in FlashTool click the Download Tab.
Click the Scatter-loading button, and locate your reflash.txt
This is what you should see:
Double click ROM, and select the image you wish to flash to your phone.Hit Download, and press the power button on the phone. Sit back and enjoy.
Firmware Editors
Now that you’ve gotten a pretty good idea about how to interface with your MTK phone, and the caveats of flashing we come to the subject of firmware editors.Firmware editors allow you to change internal resources of MTK firmwares, like language packs, graphics, internal ringtones, and fonts.
Notice: there is no free solution to edit firmwares at the moment only paid solutions.(Infinity box---z3x team products----spiderman box----cpf products---Mc tool ---etc.)
For now ı finish my thread but who know in future will continue this thread with new cpu type.
As someone with some experience in the embedded development field I will try to explain the procedure to successfully hook an MTK phone up to a computer. I make this work to be as thorough and logical as possible. My target is, provideing all who is interested about chinese mircale phones to make the best and safety action on MTK based phones. I hope you find this thread useful.
Let's begin.
What are we dealing with?
My preferred way of looking at MTK based cell phones is that of looking at small ARM
based embedded platforms. The MTK baseband chips have 33-66 MHz ARM cores. They
come with 4-8 megabytes of SDRAM, and either a NOR or NAND flash for storage.
Q: Is it possible, in theory to run Android on these phones?
A: No. Android has much higher minimum requirements.
My target when interfacing with these phones is to read/write the contents of the flash chip, so we will focus on that for a bit.
The flash chip contains 2 things: the firmware and a file system section. The firmware of course is the program (OS) that works the phone. It handles user interface, communicates with all the attached devices (microSD card, camera, BT module, GSM module, etc..) it’s the central piece of program.
Firmware
MediaTek sells a reference firmware platform to its licensees which they all use (after varying levels of modification). What this means is that all MediaTek firmwares are based on the same code base, and thus all MTK phones have similar, if not identical basic features. For example:basic UI code, such as language handling, input handling, and resource handling code will be the same. This is why a single MTK Firmware Editor can open almost all MTK firmwares, and successfully edit the resources contained within.
This reference platform comes with no support for external executables. All functionality is linked into the firmware at compile time, so adding new features or applications afterwards is infeasible, and without months of reverse engineering, by skilled developers, impossible.There are no such projects so at the time of writing there is no way to run outside code on the MTK platform (unless the firmware of interest has Java support, or NES emu compiled in).
Q: Can I add new apps to the phone?
A: No. (Unless your firmware has Java support or NES emu)
Q: Can I create my own apps that run natively on the phone’s CPU?
A: No.
Usually release firmwares come compiled with a specific set of drivers for the target hardware configuration. Different model phones will not have the same type of LCD display, FM tuner chip, BT chip, camera(s) etc.. But there’s no guarantee that same model phones, manufactured on different dates do either. Indeed same model phones manufactured just a few weeks (or days) apart can have different hardware. It is because of this that 5 different firmware versions of Model X could have been release not because of firmware improvements/bugfixes, but because the hardware in the phone has changed and new drivers were required.
What this also means is that most of the time trying to “upgrade” the firmware on these phones will result in bricking, or the loss or malfunction of an attached device (display, camera(s), BT, etc.)
For example: White screen, black screen, no screen, after flashing, but hearing the phone play the startup chime is because the phone’s display is either different, or connected differently in hardware, and the driver in the firmware we’ve flashed isn’t able to handle it. Similarly, loss of camera support, or malfunctioning keys are all symptoms of this.
A number of firmwares MAY have several drivers compiled into them, with the right one being selectable from the Engineer Menu, so in some cases that may work. Also a model’s hardware configuration may be stagnant, because of an overabundance of the parts used in the original design, in this case upgrading would be feasible, and likely worth it. Sadly however, this is not the case most of the time. It is because of this, and other factors that I’ll talk about
later, that it is HIGHLY recommended to ALWAYS BACK UP the FULL flash image, that was originally on the phone. 5-10 minutes of annoyance, can save you hours/days of frustration.
Q: Can I use firmwares from other MTK phones? They have features I want.
A: 90% chance the phone won’t even start. 100% it won’t work entirely right.
Q: Can I upgrade the firmware version on my phone?
A: You can try, but ALWAYS BACK UP the original flash content, as it’s
unlikely that you’ll get the desired outcome.
Identifying firmwares by version
MTK firmwares have a so called, version code, that when entered will output the firmware version of the phone. You can find a set of these in Appendix A, but the most common ones are *#8375#, and *#4853*#
The phone should immediately display the version screen once you enter the correct code.You should not need to press anything else. If it does not, then you’re not trying the right code for your phone. It is also likely, that your phone has a code that isn’t in the Appendix, as one of the first things some firmware developers seem to do is change these to a random value.When entering these codes you will get a version string (ex.: A6V2.2.2) and a Build Time(ex.:2007/12/04 18:31)
Now you might think that checking just one of these would be enough to identify the firmware, and you would be wrong. The two firmwares below are different, and the hardware of the two phones doesn’t match. So flashing one of these to a phone that had the other one on
it originally, will produce a white screen, and unusable phone.
* A6V2.2.2 - [BUILD TIME: 2007/12/04 18:31]
* A6V2.2.2 - [BUILD TIME: 2007/12/18 14:46]
This can also happen the other way around with Build Times being identical and version strings being different. It is my experience that comparing both string and build time is sufficient to discern firmware versions, but I usually read back the first 10kilobytes of the firmware from the phone and compare it with the version I have on file, just to make sure.
File system
The file system section comes after the firmware on the flash chip. Different flashing solutions call it differently including FAT, FFS, NVRAM, System/User FS, etc..
This section contains several actual file systems (FAT12, FAT32) on top of a proprietary structured data store layer. I know of no software that can handle this top layer, so access to the file systems within is only possible through the phone itself for the time being. These file
systems contain all the data used by the firmware from system data like device driver settings, to user data like the phonebook, messages, or data account settings. When people refer to formatting a phone, they’re referring to these file systems. Formatting as with formatting file systems on regular PC hard disks, or flash drives erases all data stored in these file systems. Upon starting the phone after a format it will recreate all of its needed files inside these file
systems, and fill them with hardcoded defaults. This includes all calibration data, and device driver settings. Contrary to popular belief formatting these file systems without backing up is anything but safe. As hardcoded defaults can differ from factory set values, so there could beseveral things that you’re influencing by letting the phone use the hardcoded defaults. It is best to back up the FAT of each phone that passes through your hands, as they’re only a small portion of the flash content so it takes about 15-30 seconds, and once again: You may be saving yourself from lots of frustration in the long run. What you should keep in mind about the file system is that IMEI, and personal data are also stored here, so you may want to think twice about publishing your firmwares with FAT included, because of the privacy issue. Also if the people who end up using your firmware are ignorant to these facts, they could end up
making several phones that use the same IMEI (Yours!). Which depending on carrier, may result in banning the IMEI from the network, instantly rendering all phones that use it, inoperable, or another case, where a phone with said IMEI is reported stolen.
Supposing you have 10 phones with the same firmware, you download the firmware from Phone #1 modify it with an editor, save a Full Image then flash said image onto Phones #2- #10. You now have 10 phones with the SAME IMEI. What you should’ve done is either back up the file systems from all the phones and write the originals back after the full flash, or if possible, patch-flashed your phones. (This means flashing only the parts you wish to modify and leaving the rest of the flash chip intact, this isn’t always possible.)
Another thing to keep in mind is that there could be factory protections that use the file system. For example the PSN protection: in this protection form, a serial code generated from a unique hardware ID is stored in a file on the file system. If you flash a full image from one of these phones onto another, even if they’re the same version, the target phone will start up with “Register Mercury” And will STOP FUNCTIONING after a few weeks. If you haven’t backed up the file system of such a phone you essentially have a phone that needs a file system reformat every few weeks to start up, or in other words, a phone that can’t be sold. Few repair boxes can fix PSN, and they’re expensive. So once again: The thing to keep in mind is to ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP. Best is to have full backups, but at the very least, if you already have a full backup for the specific firmware version on the phone, you should still take that 1 minute to back up the file systems from all the phones. You just may be thanking yourself later.
Q: What should I back up?
A: At least 1 full backup per fw version, and the file systems section for each phone.
Interface
There are usually at least 2 ways in which you can interface with an MTK phone. With the supplied data cable: through USB, through a 3.3v serial UART, and through BT.The grid below illustrates what you can do with each interface.

Some also include dynamic pin configuration and automatic pinout finding circuitry. They can cost several hundred USD, but come with support, cables for most MTK phones and flashing software. Some also provide firmware editing software, either in the basic package or as an addon for a fee. Qualities of these vary from box to box.
Flashing in practice, using MTK flashtool
MTK FlashTool is the “official” tool used to flash MTK phones. It’s used by the factories and developers. It is also where the DA originates from.
The features of MTK FlashTool include
· Reading(Read-back) and Writing(Download) the flash
· Formatting the File systems
Probaly guides and videos already posted in forum but ı want to inform everybody by pictures.
Reading a full backup with MTK FlashTool
This is MTK FlashTool. You can set your Serial Port settings in the Options menu. If you’re using the Direct COM interface, select COM1/2 and 115200 bps from the Baudrate submenu. Otherwise select the virtual com port number of your USB serial cable, and 460800. Also set Options->Operation Method->NOR (this book only talks about NOR flash)
Click over to the Read Back tab, remove everything you may find in the list, then click Add.
This is what you should see:
Now double click on ROM_0, and Select where you wish to save your image.
Then you will be greeted with the dialog below
It’s fairly obvious what we need to do here. For a full backup we will start at address 0x0000000, this means the very beginning of the flash chip. The length has to be equal the size of our flash chip. Don’t know this? Try reading a small chunk first, and I’ll show you how to find it.
Click Ok, and Click Read back. At this point you should have your phone physically connected to the PC, with it being switched off. Push the power button. Your phone should start booting the DA, nothing will appear on most models while doing this. Some will turn on the back light, some will produce a hissing sound through their speaker. These are all normal.
If the phone turns on and starts the firmware, then your interface, settings are wrong/faulty If you’ve used the Multimeter method now would be the time to try the next possible combination. If it just doesn’t seem to work in any combination, you should loopback test
your interface cable. Or it’s also possible that your phone doesn’t have UART on it’s data cable connector, only on test points, at this time I’m not going to write about finding the right test points on such phones.
Try and try again, until it works. If you’ve read your first backup, Congrats!
Ok, now if you didn’t know your flash chip size the bottom right corner is where you should look, after your initial smaller readback.
You’re interested in NOR: (256Mb+64Mb)
What this means is that this phone has NOR Flash, 256 MegaBITs of it, and 64 MegaBITs of RAM.
Now you can use Google.
Use the following search without the quotes, and substitute the number you got:
“256 *131072 in hex” The result in this case:
256 * 131 072 = 0x2000000
0x2000000 is what you would need to enter in the length field to get a full backup of this chip.
As a quick reference:
128 MB = 0x1000000 (usual file system start: 0xE00000, length:0x200000)
256 MB = 0x2000000 (usual file system start: 0x1C00000, length: 0x400000)
512 MB = 0x4000000
Full Flashing with MTK FlashTool
Full flashing, with no regard for the Security Zone, as discussed above, this will create bricked phone unless you continue with the the fullflash guide, have an image with an open Security Zone, or one with Security Zone protection disabled.
First open notepad (that’s right notepad) Insert the following line:
ROM 0x0
And save it as reflash.txt
Now in FlashTool click the Download Tab.
Click the Scatter-loading button, and locate your reflash.txt
This is what you should see:
Double click ROM, and select the image you wish to flash to your phone.Hit Download, and press the power button on the phone. Sit back and enjoy.
Firmware Editors
Now that you’ve gotten a pretty good idea about how to interface with your MTK phone, and the caveats of flashing we come to the subject of firmware editors.Firmware editors allow you to change internal resources of MTK firmwares, like language packs, graphics, internal ringtones, and fonts.
Notice: there is no free solution to edit firmwares at the moment only paid solutions.(Infinity box---z3x team products----spiderman box----cpf products---Mc tool ---etc.)
For now ı finish my thread but who know in future will continue this thread with new cpu type.
CRACKED IPA's! iPhone AppStore apps
Patching the MobileInstallation.framework is needed to use this method!
How to:
SSH to: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework/
Rename the MobileInstallation to MobileInstallation.bak
Always good to have things backed up, just incase
Now copy the patched file over with 0755 as permission
