Guest bryfly Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) not sure this would be the cause as it failed to flash anything, have you tried flashing a ROM with a full wipe ? guess you mean in cwm? just trying from cwm still got same MAC unavailable and IPv4 unavailable Edited July 1, 2013 by bryfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bryfly Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) what happens when you turn on WiFi ? or Bluetooth ? in settings, pull off to on, stays there for a couple of seconds and goes back to off. Auto, in WLAN advanced is where it shows me. MAC address unavailable, maybe if could get Mac address back and installed, Bluetooth would start to work again. Risk I took messing around so if cannot get back to normal, tough, should have written the Mac address down, remember that from my SF2 / g300 days. Thought MAC address would be in system somewhere, so used root explorer but cannot find it...... Edited July 2, 2013 by bryfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bryfly Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 reflash the stock ROM and recovery using the Flash tool and then reinstall CWM and your ROM?(If all else fails) Maybe you copied the wrong files or they got corrupted or something . cheers for the advice, could try that but at the moment can reinstall back to normal via CWM less WIFI, if I try that will loose that ability, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bryfly Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Think I have identified my MAC address and my ip address from my router android-725fadfb88db4bdc 00:0c:e7:66:0a:db 192.168.1.107 not sure where to try putting it or even if I should?

Guest tillaz Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 actually I've just noticed that when flashing the full factory ROM with the flash tool you are supposed to press "Firmware-> Upgrade" i would try and do the TWRP Guide again with the full ROM added then select Firmware-> Upgrade this will fully restore the phone and should actually work.

Guest Rico_89 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Listen to Tillaz above :) .. Can you install Tillaz's custom rom? If not is it possible that CWM got corrupted? Edited July 2, 2013 by Rico_89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bryfly Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 or extract this and add everything from the bin folder into the TWRP package (same place you see recovery.img) then try. http://www.solidfile...m/d/5e86496106/ the TWRP should work, are you sure you did not flash the stock recovery ? and did you use the modified scatter file to increase the recovery partition ? if you did, just trying to flash the TWRP .img i provided by its self like the cwm guide, should work, if not you must of flashed the whole stock rom including the recovery with stock scatter file = stock recovery and 6mb partition basically running the original TWRP Guide but unticking everything other than recovery box should work, if the partition size "has" changed if you do try it again make sure you are selecting the scatter file from inside the TWRP folder, (pressing the download button for this) To be quite honest not sure, followed adding everything from the bin folder and pasting into the TWRP package post 1 above , then carried out flashing from the TWRP package as normal, then flashed the scatter file shown in the screen print below, the main thing is I have a working phone .....cheers screen pringt 3.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Unless I'm mistaken it seems you can get the V5 from http://www.antelife.com for £104.66 with free shipping to the UK via Swiss Post or Singapore Post. They take paypal but I don't know if there is a charge for it. Anyone know how reliable they are? Edited July 2, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think their exchange rate is a bit off, as pandawill has it for $169.99 when they convert to £ it comes out at approx £114, which is about right at $1.488 to the £. they always charge you in $ so with PayPal conversion it would be approx. £114 I think.......

Guest bryfly Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 GPS problems For interest purposes these two posts taken from Vowney forum and translated to English, seems like they have the same GPS problem in China, strange that the second post seems to say on Baidu maps positioning works ok.... Post 1) I also ah, AGPS, EPO, and all are open, and tried to high German navigation Kay Rucker navigation, Google maps, etc., have been positioning good case, positioning point often drift, can not be accurately positioned using GPS Test test, the phone compass can not be used (V5 should be no gyro), turn the phone will interrupt positioning. Post 2) I can feel it, positioning quite fast, Google Maps can not locate, Baidu positioning can, open space just started a mobile base station location, that is certainly not allowed, only a few hundred meters accuracy, after a while become pure GPS positioning accuracy within 10 meters becomes a. Indeed often drift, Kay Rucker maps also would be almost like it, I feel fairly normal phenomenon. . . . My GPS TEST has a compass, but are not allowed to.

Guest blaster99999 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 The GPS problem must be a software problem as I've not had any problems getting a GPS lock using co pilot , so is it just Google maps that as the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aliaird Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I can get a GPS fix after a while on Google maps. I get a fix quicker on Copilot, but both wander, especially at low speed, so navigating towns slowly is a challenge, as it keeps thinking I'm on a nearby street and trying to re-route me. A right pain to be honest. More annoying in the short term seems to be a newish problem whereby I'm not getting notifications from Whatsapp or MeggageMe. Any thoughts? I think I need a new ROM. Was hanging on for Tillaz' repacked ROM from a couple of days ago but might try one of the ones on NeedRom. I'm on stock at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
