Use Mobileuncle to flash your Mediatek Android device - aus9 - 2014-04-21 Hi TRY AT OWN RISK Pre-amble Instead of using a windows Flashtool or Mediatek Flashtool that needs windows or Linux/Wine or Linux/virtual machine for windows, it is far easier to install Mobileuncle from Google playstore. Step 1 Ensure you download a TWRP or a CWM recovery image you know from others will work for your device please. Step 2 Rename the recovery image as either recovery-cwm.img or recovery-twrp.img Please use lower case names. Step 3 Use your file manager to put it at the root of your internal storage or removeable storage card Step 4 Go into Google Playstore search and install mobileuncle It works for most Mediatek devices Step 5 Enter mobileuncle and if you have granted permanent root power access to mobileuncle you won't get a prompt to access su OTHERWISE you will get a prompt. The choice is yours. I use it regularly so prefer auto granted root permission -----you set this in your superuser app......such as supplied by chainfire. YMMV Once you have granted it root access or got it automatically then...... Click on the recovery update selection and then follow the prompts. Mobileuncle searches your internal storage and SD card for all files that start with the string recovery Once it has finished it search it will display one or more hits of files start with the name recovery. Choose yours and then allow it to be installed. You will then be given the option to reboot into recovery mode. I suggest you do so......to do a backup. TWRP or CWM recoveries offer you an option to reboot into normal mode. To keep the movie short, I am not showing how to use TWRP to flash a new custom ROM onto your flash device. Sorry for hand held webcam movie as I do not own a fancy digital camera and No audio was recorded for this video. First video is TWRP Second video is CWM with sound but still hand held cam. good luck RE: Use Mobileuncle to flash your Mediatek Android device - aus9 - 2014-04-27 update video link corrected using formula Code: [video=youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPWe3aHjue0[/video] Original attempt failed as I had a capital V in first video added a download link for an AVI movie of same movie for those without flashplayer now in spoiler to reduce display issue RE: Use Mobileuncle to flash your Mediatek Android device - aus9 - 2014-07-05 extra update. Method also works for CWM......so if you can't find a TWRP, replace it for CWM in the first post add a comment about su access good luck |
