Guest shuete Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) did you extract the rar file? (sorry if im being patronising i dont know how much you know) Nice one :) no problem yes i can extract, but i cannot install the device on my pc, i'll try one more time edit: can't get through "adb.rar and click extract here in the menu that comes up Plug in phone Once you have do go into that adb folder, " done - " hold shift then right click and press "open command window here" in menu" this part i don't know what to do, if i press shift nothing happens Edit: if hold shift then right click the message i get is the programme cannot be executed because adbwinapi.dll is missing Edited June 7, 2013 by shuete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tillaz Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 so for the next part it can be a pain in the arss... you need to get the phone to install the drivers for the flash tool.. we will be using this to pull the stock recovery.img and flash the new one so anyone who is interested you will need to turn off your phone and take out the battery, now plug your phone into the PC (without the battery) and tell me if it starts installing drivers ? if so what ? (you might actually need the tool installed first, but its worth a try while i wright out instructions for the tool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shuete Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) it keeps saying that the programme cannot start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing i don't understand what went wrong edit: I officially give up Edited June 7, 2013 by shuete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ChrisPNE Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Has anyone ordered or received the case that is advertised on the Merimobiles' V5 page in the accessories section? It's not a lot of money but if someone knows it's rubbish there's no point wasting my money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kieranswhite Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm liking the look of the iocean X7 !!! http://www.antelife.com/iocean-x7-mtk6589-quad-core-android-4-2-5inch-ips-screen-1gb-ram-4gb-rom-wifi-8-0mp-camera-3g-gps-smart-phone.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 once i have the recovery.img no one ever needs to do the above guide again or at all... so we only need one person to finish the above really (but we will be using the same tool to flash the new recovery so its best to do it anyway so you get the drivers installed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 it keeps saying that the programme cannot start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing i don't understand what went wrong edit: I officially give up i think what has happened is that your anti virus on your PC is deleting the file when you extract it. its ok though we just need the recovery.img now and the rest should be straight forward from there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest moorish Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 have you rebooted since installing the drivers? Yep, many times. Tried removing the devices - reboot - install drivers - same code 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Yep, many times. Tried removing the devices - reboot - install drivers - same code 10. when you get the code 10 error open device manager, is there anything with a yellow triangle showing up ?

Guest moorish Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 when you get the code 10 error open device manager, is there anything with a yellow triangle showing up ? Yes, the meditek preloader and va drivers. tried removing, rebooting and reinstalling. On re-install it cant find the drivers, but i use advanced and browse to correct inf file. once installed i get the code 10, device can not start error. Will have to try on a different computer. maybe something has gone corrupt on my machine. Is there any other way of getting the recovery image? On the vowney forums, there is the orginal rom which i have downloaded. when unrared, there is a bin folder with recovery image file. Would this work?

Guest ChrisPNE Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I've finally taken the plunge and ordered a V5. I'm hoping a 5 inch display won't be too big a leap from the 4 inch of the G300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aliaird Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Is everyone ordering their V5s from Merimobiles? Looks like I just have! Got impatient and went for DHL delivery!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rico_89 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) How do you track your item? I got an RB... tracking number from Merimobile but when I go here: http://www.track-trace.com/post and enter my tracking number I get another screen telling me to enter my Item number and verification code. Is this right or am I missing something? Ah ok I googled China post tracking and then entered my tracking code here: http://www.trackingkit.com/china-post-tracking/ and it seems to still be in China.

I bought from Merimobiles but went for the free delivery. Knowing my luck I'd pay for express and it'd take longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
