Guest tipsypedro Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Hi, Ive just got my Skate a couple of days ago. My problem is that my Skate has different specs. Here are some details based on Quadrant. System SDK version: 2.3.5 ID GINGERBREAD OS name: Linux OS version: 2.6.35.7-perf+ Dalvik VM version: 1.4.0 Device Model: Skate4.3 H Product: P843_GENERIC Board: skateplus Brand:zte Fingerprint: zte/P843_GENERIC/ skateplus:2.3.5/GINGERBREAD/eng. 20120514.023538:user/release-keys CPU Name: ARMv7 Processor rev 1 (v71) Current freq.: 1024 MHz Max freq.: 1024 MHz Max freq.: 122.88 MHz Cores: 1 Architecture: 7 BogoMIPS: 681.57 Hardware: skateplus Revision: 1 Serial #: 000000000000000000000 Memory Total 386524 kB Free: 85080 kB Inactive: 175676 kB Display Resolution: 480x800 DPI: 160x160 refresh rate: 0.09 Hz GPU (OpenGL) Vendor: Qualcomm Renderer: Adreno ™ 205 Version: OpenGL ES 2.0 Additional info from AnTUTu Benchmark: CPU model: ARMv7 Processor (VFPv3, NEON) I want to know if I could use the ROMs/rooting process posted here for my Skate? I saw the other Skate model, the U960 which has dual sim. But mine has no dual sim feature. Thanks :) Edited October 1, 2012 by tipsypedro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redstarr1 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sounds like a ZTE Skate Acqua. The roms here won't work, they're for armv6 devices. But Konstat made a recovery for the Acqua over on that forum here on Modaco. Odd that your phone is Android 2.3.5, the Acqua's that are sold here have Android 4.0.

Guest C3C0 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Doesn't Acqua come with adreno 200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is not a Skate Acqua though, it looks the same as the Skate. The ZTE Skate 4.3 H just launched here at the Philippines 2 months ago. It would really be nice to take advantage of the lil higher specs. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KonstaT Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yeah, seems like a completely new device. It's probably msm8x55 platform. Haven't seen anything with that in europe, but I think ZTE Warp is in US. Can you get a copy of your /system/build.prop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tipsypedro Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I need to have my phone rooted to access /system/build.prop right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C3C0 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) boot.img would be nice , too :) to look into kernel config. I could then create the rooted one for you Edited October 1, 2012 by C3C0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KonstaT Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I need to have my phone rooted to access /system/build.prop right? No, you don't need to be rooted to copy files from system. You just need a proper file explorer (androzip or es should do it). Copy /proc/config.gz too, it's your kernel config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tipsypedro Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Got it. I'm going to fetch those files. Gimme a couple of minutes. boot.img would be nice , too to look into kernel config. I could then create the rooted one for you Wheres that files located?

Guest C3C0 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 It could be acquired by dumping /dev/block/mtdblock1 probably. But problem is that it is not readable for normal user. Only by root. So some kind of exploit is needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redstarr1 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Doesn't Acqua come with adreno 200? Yeah you're right, like KonstaT says it's probably an MSM8255 or something like that. Which makes it extra weird to be on GB. The HTC One V has a similar SoC and ships with ICS. Most phones with that chip run GB though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tipsypedro Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) @KonstaT Heres the files you requested. It could be acquired by dumping /dev/block/mtdblock1 probably. But problem is that it is not readable for normal user. Only by root. So some kind of exploit is needed... Hope there would be.files_build_config.zip Edited October 1, 2012 by tipsypedro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C3C0 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 What about trying this backdoor to gain root access? http://www.androidauthority.com/zte-score-m-zte-skate-root-backdoor-found-85445/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tipsypedro Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Good read. I'm no genius about that kind of stuff but aint it for 2.3.4? Well even though, I still dont know how to exploit it. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C3C0 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Use file explorer just to see if you have that file: /system/bin/sync_agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tipsypedro Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Roger that. edited** I only got /system/bin/sync Edited October 1, 2012 by tipsypedro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KonstaT Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yeah, it's a msm8x55 device. I still can't find any reason why ZTE would make such a device though. :P It's even some philipines specific variant (CONFIG_MACH_SKATEPLUS_PH). MSM8x55 was top of the line platform something like two years ago, I guess they've got it now cheap. It also seems to be a nasty hack job where ZTE is building this on top of old Android 2.3.5 and 2.6.35 kernel that they used with ARMv6 devices - not Android 2.3.6 and 2.6.39 kernel like they do with their other ARMv7 devices. Can you copy /proc/mtd too? It will help on dumping boot and recovery partitions after you've gained root access somehow. This seems like a really marginal device so I think there's slim to none chance of getting custom ROMs/ICS to your device though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C3C0 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) That's right. I was browsing a ZTE handset pages for a while and found Skate 4.3H mentioned on Philippines handset page, only... No other Asia/Oceania countries mention it. I haven't had a go through all of them, though. Edited October 1, 2012 by C3C0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Extensis Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I got one too today! I'm excited in getting this one because I have successfully updated my Blade (Netphone 701 in the Philippines). The reason why I bought this beside of its very cheap price is to try the costum roms for skate, and after reading this threads I got disappointed knowing I cannot use custom rom. I'm about to try JB CM10. Also I'm trying to gain root access but not successful. I cannot run Lucky Patcher!. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haxorg Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Interesting, this must be the "skate plus" my friend was talking about, he told me it wasn't an acqua but I didn't believe him :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WiiSky70 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Huh... I 've never seen a variant like this in Europe , maybe it will replace the current Skates ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razzmataz1478 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Huh... I 've never seen a variant like this in Europe , maybe it will replace the current Skates ? No, seems like an Asia only model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Extensis Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) It has an upgraded specs from the original Skate! But this Model will no longer be sold here in the Philippines. Zte made the unit On Sale from Php 9900 to Php 5990. and now you can hardly find it on the store. They are now selling ZTE Grand X Php 9990 and Blade 3 at Php 7990!

Guest Extensis Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Masters any Positive news on how can we Root this device and If possible update the ROM to ICS or Jelly Bean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
