I can say that my Diamond jailbreak the PS3 at first boot "everytime".
I use HERMES V4 and OPEN MANAGER 2.1
The solution that I found is simple (with XDAndroid 2.2 RC 2.1 + System RC 2.2).
The first time:
-check to have replace zImage
-check to have put modules-2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49-dirty.tar.gz in the directory of xdandroid (delete the old modules)
-put psfreedom.ko in the root of memory
-download payload from attachment
-put payload_hermesV4.bin in the root of memory
-overclock the phone (in startup.txt add inside "set cmdline": acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=680000) or download my STARTUP.TXT from attachment (only DIAM100)
-edit "froyo.user.conf" in the conf directory and replace the section "# custom shell commands, these commands run last" with this:
# custom shell commands, these commands run last
custom_shells{
rm -f /sdcard/fsck*.rec
echo ""
echo ""
echo "*************************************"
echo "*************************************"
echo "******D i s c o n n e c t ****** U S B ******"
echo "*************************************"
echo "*************************************"
echo ""
echo ""
sleep 3
insmod /sdcard/psfreedom.ko
sleep 2
echo "**********************************"
echo "**********************************"
echo "********P a y l o a d ****************"
echo "**********************************"
echo "**********************************"
cat /sdcard/payload_hermesV4.bin > /proc/psfreedom/payload
}
or download my conf file from attachment and put the file in the conf directory (only DIAM100)
-launch haret with USB connected to PC
-disconnect cable when the message "Disconnect USB from PC" is display
-put the phone to airplane mode
-install Advanced Task Killer Free (ATK)
-launch ATK
-change setting and set security to LOW (kill more application)
-kill all application (after I have 50Mb free)
-connect to PS3
jailbreak in normal way
The next time you just:
-launch haret with USB connected to PC
-disconnect cable when the message "Disconnect USB from PC" is display
-launch ATK and kill all application
-connect PS3
jailbreak in normal way
I hope this can help everyone who jailbreak with Diamond
UPDATE(only for DIAM100):
The STARTUP.TXT attached contains my path.
Change the name of the directory: "rel_path=your directory"
EXAMPLE: "rel_path=andboot"
HELP1:
If you don't have 50 Mb of free memory from ATK try:
-remove all widget from all the android desktop
-set as background of the desktop a simple color (not an image)
-disable the animation of the video (in the configuration of android you can find video option)
-etc... (all other simple procedure to free more memory)
HELP2:
If you don't find where to set security level LOW:
-open ATK
-press HOME button
-press Setting
-press Security Level
-select Low
-press BACK button (turn back)
-press BACK button (turn back)
-KILL selected apps
I have more than 50Mb free after this operation.

HTC_Diamond_PSFreedom_Hermes_V4b.rar
All-In-One Solution: PSFreedom 3.41 v1.3.1 PL3 Hermes v4b with PSN Patch
HTC_Diamond_PSFreedom_3.41_v1.3.1_Hermes_V4b_PSN_Patch.rar
Download this file and decompress it on your root.This file contains already ALL that you need.(include HermesV4)
It is ready for Diam100.
Change the startup.txt file if you have other phone.
NB: If you change the startup.txt file remember to edit it to set rel_path=xdandroid
Last payload:
For the last payload visit the HTC HERO psfreedom wiki page
Download the payload that you want and then change the conf file to load it (replace payload_hermesV4.bin with the name of the new payload)
Good day.
Works great!
Great solution, i tried a similar procedure (by me) but yours is great!
Now I've only the same problem as described in other post.
When i try to load backup of my game (original) from an external disk (2,5"), it returns always on xmb and not load nothing.
Any idea?
worked first time for me too, i've got psfreedom auto loading in the init file, so all you have todo is kill apps and jail break.
[one thing left to try is set ATK to autoload and set it to aggressive autokill and hopefully all you'll need todo is boot into andriod and jailbreak.] - scratch this bit as auto kill smallest interval is 30 mins
edit: tried a second time and the jailbreak didn't work first time... actually tried several times and then eventually rebooted phone and tried again, worked on second attempt (got unknown usb device on first try)
Ok, now works perfect.
It was an hard disk problem (external 2.5" samsung model 0804h hd 80gb), it is not fully supported.
Now i use another hard disk and it works

Click to collapse
control the memory free (on ATK)
I have 50Mb and I jailbreak everytime at first boot
I did also:
-in settings/display disable all effect
-in desktop load like background a single color (and not a picture)
-remove ALL the gadget from all the desktop
...
it works great
ATTENTION: Autoload psfreedom.ko
I think that initrd.gz is not the right place where insert the insmod command.
Try to edit "froyo.user.conf" in the conf directory and insert in the section # custom shell commands, these commands run last
insmod /sdcard/psfreedom.ko
obviously before the } that end the list of commands...
You must have something like
# custom shell commands, these commands run last
custom_shells{
rm -f /sdcard/fsck*.rec
insmod /sdcard/psfreedom.ko
}
This for two reasons:
1.is more simple to modify (is a plain text file in XDAndroid directories, so you don't need Linux)
2.you load the module "after" the other modules that psfreedom.ko need
Now I am at work, I will try this solution this afternoon... but if someone can test... is simple to modify the conf file.
EDIT:
Ok, it works
You can edit the conf file and then when xdandroid boot you have only to launch ATK and kill all application
@bastard: You're spreading FUD. PSF module does not depend on any module which is loaded in conjunction with XDandroid. Why are you claiming this?
And you consider booting a full blown OS (which IS Linux by the way), installing apps and configuring a lot of other stuff more simple than booting another Linux (or just using your main OS if it's Linux compatible) and modify initrd once?
Anyway, have a good day!

PSfreedom depend on the modules that you load on boot.
In particolary g_android.ko that enable debugging via USB
This is why on the psfreedom procedure you find to "copy" the modules in xdandroid directory
Now, i don't know if you have to load before or after...
But the psfreedom procedure say to load psfreedom.ko in terminal so I think this is the right order:
1.modules
2.psfreedom.ko
in this way it work... in the other... i don't know

I didn't say this...
I think (and wrote) that is "more simple" to modify a text file (the conf file) directly on phone rather than copy initrd.gz, boot to Linux, expand initrd.gz, edit init file, recompile to initrd.gz and then put it again on phone ONLY to autoload psfreedom on startup... (and allways do the rest of stuff)
Then I think (and wrote) that to have the order 1.modules 2.psfreedom.ko
modify the conf is better than modify initrd.gz
I don't understand why you have to enter into a debate...
if you don't like my procedure... use another.
Anyway, have a good day!
2 issues.
-overclock the phone (in startup.txt put the line acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=700000)
I can't put 700000, the phone crash when I start Android, I can put 680000, but no more.
-change setting and set security to LOW (kill more application)
I don't understand this, how can I change this setting?
I've tried the trick and it works like before for me, not better...

I use 700000 and works fine for me, but I think it's normal... on the xdandroid you can find:
Overclocking
acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXXXXX ( i personally use 600000-640000 )
but it very unstable if you try to get higher than 650000-700000
Use the value that works for you.

I have more than 50Mb free
With this I jailbreak every time at first time.
Have you change the phone to airplane mode? It use less cpu...
Yeah.
I have done the security think and now yes, it always works, at the moment, I've tried twice, but works both.
Thanks for the trick, you are my hero!!
By the way, I am spanish, it's possible that I wrote some word or sentence incorrectly, but I try do it well ^^
could someone upload these modified files? i can't find in my phone,thanks
I did everything you said but still it doesnt run every time on first boot it takes like 5 to 10 times to boot
any new version psfreedom for openmanager v1.13？
That would be awesome
agreed, I really want no bluray disc needed.
Also with the hermes payload, they will eventually create some custom firmware, no more psfreedom!
Thank you for opening this thread! But...
I did everything u recommended but still receiving the "unknown USB device connected". So, the same problem persists: It only works after the first boot!
Any other suggestions so we can solve the diamond problem once for all?
PS: PS3 jailbreak USBs are not available in my country so i have to count on the diamond jailbreak
UPDATE 1: After switching to Windows mobile--->Reconnect to PC in active sync mode--->Disconnect when the message appears--->Connect to PS3 and apply Jailbreak! It REALLY WORKS!
Do Note that using HTC Diamond is tricky when it comes to Jailbreaking the PS3 since it's not 100% compatible So take real care of the time between the power and eject buttons: YOU SHOULD WAIT LIKE 1/2 A SECOND TO PRESS THE EJECT AFTER THE POWER & IT WILL WORK WITH A RATE OF 1 OVER 2
UPDATE 2 : After Rebooting the phone from Win Mobile to Android (While connected to PC) if the JB doesn't work with the error "Unknown USB device connected", Just shut down the phone, reboot in win mobile reconnect to PC and boot back to Android then try again it should work!
Hope this helps!
Recheck procedure

I reply to you, but it's ok for everyone who have some troubles:
-you don't need to reboot to windows mobile
-you don't need to reboot the phone
If you have "unknown USB device connected" simply retry the jailbreak (leave the phone connect to PS3).
NOW
For my procedure...
It works ALLWAYS at first boot (not AFTER first boot)
If you have some problem check all the step, particolary:
-overclock (700000 or 680000 works fine, try which one works for you)
-phone in airplane mode
-security level LOW in ATK
-memory after kill all the application MUST be more than 50Mb
If you don't have this value of free memory try:
-remove all widget from all the android desktop
-set as background of the desktop a simple color (not an image)
-disable the animation of the video (in the configuration of android you can find video option)
-etc... (all other simple procedure to free more memory)
I wrote this guide becouse I NEVER try two time to jailbreak my PS3 after this trick... NEVER
So, eventually you can try different timing from press Power button and Eject button, but the REAL problem is the free memory and the speed of Diamond.
So I suggest:
- re-check the speed of overclock (try 680000 maybe is more stable)
- re-check alll the step of my guide
- re-check this list of trick to free more memory
I hope to help everyone with DIAMOND (DIAM100)

It is WORKING with a 99% rate!
1. The Overclocking to 7,000 is working at its best.
2. I am not using ATK.
3. Phone in airplane mode is a must, i agree.
4. Disabling the animation is a must also.
5. I need to boot in WinMobile so i can use my phone normally...
6. I really noticed that one of the most important points is: the lapse of time between the Power & Eject buttons. It has to be larger than other devices at 1/2 sec. aprox. (as compared to HTC HD2 or others...)
Regards

Try to use ATK and it will work with 100% rate!
I repeat that timing between power and eject is less important...
Try ATK and then you never try two time!!!
(ATK free that you can download free on the internet. You can put the apk directly on xdandroid directory and it autoinstall )

Try deleting Backup Manager and reinstalling. I had the same problem and that worked for me. Good luck.
Hey all,
I own an unlocked ATT Tilt 1 (Kaiser 8925). It is currently running windows mobile which is extremely slow. I have read all over the internet that you can put the Android 2.2 OS on this phone and have seen youtube videos on this topic also.
Ideally I need to be able to buy apps from the android marketplace.
Since I'm not a phone hacker I'd like to find a professional cel phone service company that can do this for me.
I searched extensively on Google and can't seem to find one. So who can do this and what is the normal charge for something like this.
Just trying make my old phone useful in wifi mode.
Any advice would be great.
Regards Henry
I don't think there is a company that provides such a service especially if we take in to account that kaiser/tilt is a 3 year old device and the android port is not official. There are plenty of topics in the forum describing how to replace winmo with Android. You don't have to be a hacker to run Android on your phone. Just read the stickies and you wil be able to flash ityourself in no time
There are phone dealers out there (in the USA anyway), that will do this for a fee on the Kaiser, but trust me, with what has gone into the development of this, almost anyone can do it. Save yourself the money and try it yourself. The worst I've heard about is a mis-flashed phone needing some master reset.
The question is who?
I live here in the Orlando area and have called a number of cel phone companies.
I was treated like King Gidorah Three Headed Space Monster. They didn't have a clue this could be done.

Listen HenrykJR there are about dozens of android builds on this forum + many different versions of two kernels, not all of those will work correctly for you. You might experience different issues with one setup but the other will work correctly for you. So even if there was a company that could flash it for you, you might end up with an unstable device. Also how could a company gain knowledge on flashing android builds to a phone that was originally shipped with windows mobile??? You seem to be looking for Nessy....in woods.
Your best bet now is to find someone in the forums to help you flash your device....maybe even use skype to show you how to do it. It really isn't that hard.
Hehe, i don´t think you´ll find a Company that will do it for you. Maybe you find some guys that do it for Money (me to ). But if you spend a little time with reading through this forum you could do it yourself and save the money.
Preparing:
1.) You need a SD card (mandatory for android on Kaiser). And you need a Google Mail Account for syncing your contacts etc. and access the android market.
2.) You have to "unlock" your Phone (with HSPL/HardSPL). Only after that you are able to flash things (Cusom WinMo ROMs, Radio, Android) to your Kaiser. So read through this guide and follow step 1-4.
3.) Now you have an unlocked phone an you should be able to flash everything. And the first thing you flash should be the latest "radio". The "radio" for Kaiser is similar to the BIOS for your PC. Like the subsystem and responsible for GSM chipset etc... So look & read in this Radio-Thread, download the latest Radio (it is 1.71.09.01) an follow the guide "Flashing Radio from microSD"
4.) Now your Phone is up-to-date and ready for flashing Android (or WinMo custom roms). YOU NEVER HAVE TO DO THE STEPS 1-3 AGAIN! Your Phone is now completely prepared!
Flashing Android:
For Android on Kaiser you always need 2 Parts. The Kernel (this part initialize the hardware so its similar to "driver" on PC) and the Built (the Android OS itself). But Both should work together so you´ll may find in some kernel suggestions in Built-threads because not ever kernel work with every built. For your beginning i whould suggest you some things:
First the kernel:
DZO is the most popular (the father of android on Kaiser) Kernel-Developer for Kaiser. So go to his repository and download "voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh". Because Vouge and kaiser have almost the same hardware we all could use this kernel. But everyone have to modify this kernel to make phone related optimizations. You can do thy by hand (not recommended for you) or with a tool called "Atools". This tool is writthen in "Python" so mac and linux user could use it too. But you need to install Python. But that is all described in the Atools thread. Read through it and follow the guide.
Modifing Kernel:
We will only modify the madatory things. Not more at the moment...
So run Atools, klick on the "folder" Button and load the "voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh".
Device: "Kaiser" should be checked
Resolution: 240x320 should be checked (native resolution of Kaiser display). Everything else will give blurry optic.
Version: "Froyo" should be checked, because we will flash a Froyo built (thats android 2.2). If you want to flash an older built like a Donut one (1.6) you have to modify & flash your kernel again.
Panel Type: Try "auto" or "1" first. But if you have a fuzzy screen or artifacts you have to try out which paneltype fits best for your device. HTC has built in 3 different displays in the Kaiser and the only way to find out which one is builtin is trial & error.
Keymap: Depends on which hardware keyboard layout you have. Here in Germeny i have to use "qwertz".
We leave the other options as they are an klick on the "Disk" button to save our modificated kernel now. it save it as "KAISIMG.nbh".
Now we need the Built:
I suggest "Fat Free Froyo" at the moment. Fast, stable, an looks good. So go to this thread and download "ODEX DOWNLOAD RLS5 ALL LANG-ODEX" on the bottom of the post.
then unzip/unrar this file...
Flashing your first Android:
1.) You should have a fat32 formatted SD card
2.) put the Kernel (the modified KAISIMG.nbh) to the root of SD card
3.) Create a folder named "andboot" on SD card
4.) Put the unzipped file (androidinstall.tar or .tgz) in the folder "andboot"
5.) Remove SIMcard and any cables from phone and put the SD card in your phone. Battery should be 50% carged or more...
6.) go to bootloader-mode (press and hold camera button and powerbutton). the KAISIMG should be loaded and it will show you "press powerbutton to update" or something similar. Do that... Now a progressbar will appear. When it is at 100% wait a few seconds an then pull the battery. Wait 10 seconds an insert it again. Voila! You flashed your first android kernel!
7.) Now we have to install android itself. So Power on the phone. In the moment when you see small white text on black background you have to press and hold the d-pad button. This one in the middle. Now you get in the install menu.
8.) Leave the options "System on nand" and "DATA on nand" as it is. Navigate to "install system" an press dpad. It ask "format system" and "format data". Both "YES". after this procedure you enter the menu again. navigate to "quit".
9.) Yeah! The first Bootup of Android! The first bootup takes longer as the following ones because now the system prepares for bootup and do a lot of optimisations. Even if you enter the lockscreen you should give it 10 minutes time to finish this optimization process in backround.
10.) Finish! You have flashed your first android completely! Now you can play around and make your settings. Remember: You have to sign in to your google account befor you can access the market or syncronize your contacts etc.!
Sounds more complicated as it is. Try it!
And if you´ll dig in deeper in this stuff you have to read here! Especially the Stickies/Refs/Tutorials! We´ve all done that!
have fun!

Brother, You can do it yourself, I can assure you. Regarding any ambiguity, you can contact me through PM. (I can guide you complete on voice over skype / msn). Its a TIDEOUS job but EASY to do since there is no MEANS OF BRICKING your kaiser (unless you flash something else than what u have do to install android).
I am here to help you in this community. And you can do this thing yourself.
Your device is At&t Tilt. The bad thing about installing android is getting a RIGHT kernel that suits your LCD type and enables wifi in the android build u install. (maybe in 1st try, maybe takes almost 10 tries like it happened for me)
I used to use my Qtek 9100 as my main phone, but then I bought a second hand (second hand for me, was new for the seller) HTC Touch Pro2. I have been using it 'happily' (even with touch flo disabled it's still slow, and i'm not the only one with speed issues).
Anyway, when I got it, I made the mistake of not wiping it completely, however, the previous owner had all ready reset it to 'factory defaults'.
Today I decided to try running xdandroid again, after the miserable time i had before, but I have come across the same problem again.
(to fill you in further, I am using all the other bits for andboot from the blazn rar I downloaded late last year, but am using the FRX06 system file)
When I tapped on 'HARET' the first time, the tiny setup text scrolled down the screen, the animation played and in about ten minutes I was in Android. I couldn't get the data connection working, so (as I had no other access to the internet) I powered the phone of safely (holding down the end call key until the three android options appeared and selected 'power off') and booted back into winmo to find what settings to use.
I then went back to file explorer, navigated to the andboot folder and tapped on haret. (see details of varied results below) I then pressed the reset button with the styus, waited for winmo to boot again and tried again, and again and again etc.
one of three things happened when i tapped on haret:
1) the 'loading linux' bar went along and stayed there. no double vibrate, nothing. reset device to get back to working winmo.
2) (more rare, only happened twice) a large portion of the right bottom corner and right side turned black, nothing else happened.
3) 'loading linux' bar appears, disappears, nothing happens.
Only one (other than the first boot) out of these about 15 attempts resulted in android actually booting again.
any ideas what's wrong?
(btw, i havent changed the default.txt file, it's still just
"set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2292
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 pm.sleep_mode=2 rel_path=andboot hw3d.force=0 htc_battery_smem.fake=0 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=787000 physkeyboard=tilt2 htc_hw.force_cdma=0 "
Boot"
this is exctly the same issue i had several months ago :/

Do not do this!
Start over fresh... Should work fine. Also, post in the build thread, no need to create a new thread.
Follow all the steps in the first post, and wipe that SD card clean of anything from previous installs. You shouldn't reuse old stuff, especially in your case 'ancient' stuff .
ok, thanks
where should I obtain all the files that aren't the main image? (I'm afraid I get confused when trying to find the latest parts as it seems to all be scattered across two wikis, two websites and this forum )
(apologies for starting a new thread, wasn't sure where to put it)

I made a full bundle on March 25th. Everything you need to get up and running is in there.
I'll admit there's _a lot_ of stuff in testing right now. At least start with the base install, then we can talk about integrating testing stuff. Also, the stuff that is being tested right now is going to make it to the main XDAndroid builds in one form or another - just takes time.
okay, thank you very much
Just follow my introduction to android thread to get started from scratch again. The threads in my signature and stickied.
Seems that you have oc'd a bit too much
remove this "acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=787000"
from cmdline in startup and see if it boots
I had a similar problem so I removed oc line and it didn't boot either.
I solved this by overclocking to safe speed or default clock.
This kept happening to me because I was set to overclock on startup in WinMo. I can OC to 768 in Android, but I have to set my clock to the default 528 BEFORE launching Haret.
Thanks all for the replies (sorry for taking so long, I don't think I got an email notification and I find xda-forums rather hard to navigate (esp. some sort of subscribed threads page)).
I installed a more linear style start menu 'tweak' from a site that the HTC site had linked to. After I uninstalled it as I did not like it and it hardly worked, all the names of the start menu items were completely lower case. Now, I like lower case in some circumstances, but having it everywhere was annoying. I navigated to the start section in explorer, but those were still capitalized at the start. I found that adding and then removing a letter to each link's name would fix the capitalization on the start menu. I spent about half an hour methodically making each one work. However, I then accidentally dropped the phone on the floor and the battery fell out. I turned the device back on, and to my horror, they had all turned lower case again. I could not cope with this, so I wrote down a list of all the programs I had installed on it and called this the perfect opportunity to hard reset the device
(This was/is the first time I had wiped the phone since purchase.)
After wiping it, I didn't install the overclocking program for WinMo on the TP2 and I tapped the haret file in explorer. And it booted Android. I restarted the device and tried again, and it worked first time. It now works more often than not
(one query though. How can I tell that GenY DualBoot where to find haret?)
Thanks for the help

That entire ramble and this is your question...
This is a WinMo / Gen.Y issue...
Read the Gen.Y thread. There's a registry key you have to change... This has nothing to do with Android development tho, so please refrain from asking non-Android dev questions in the Android dev section... thanks!
I am using a Defy + 2.2.1 stock.
At some point, my CPU is always at 100%.
I first tried moving more stuff to SD and deleting preinstalled junk with Titanium Backup, in order to free space.
Then I started looking into the processes (using OS Monitor 2.0.5) and found out that the system_server process is always over 70%.(no file-system is full)
I have USB debug set, and I already tried chmod on time_in_state using Phone Prioritizer, but that didn´t do either.
I was preparing to upgrade my android, but I am afraid of doing so over an unstable system. Should I update anyway ?
Is there a better app to monitor processes other than OS Monitor ? (sorting by cpu use doesn´t work)
I searched all topics with similar problems but didnt find anything else to try.
Any suggestions ?
Tks

Not sure if it goes deep enough but "betterbatterystats" give process usage, other usage & partial wakelocks so it may pin point something that OS Monitor doesn't (although I haven't used that so not really sure what it gives you).
I've been using it this week & it really gives some good information http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Hope it helps

Unfortunately not. Nice UI but little info, and just user processes.
Now I´m trying the app System Tuner, but it is too heavy for my already overloaded system.
I am planning to do a factory reset then install app by app to try to figure out where it went wrong ... a hard way ...
Problem fixed :
I found out in tread All-in-one Defy Beginners -
Stock Froyo sometimes lags and/or freezes the phone: Its caused by the VM consuming all memory, all you need to do is adjust the amount of MB the VM should leave free.
There are a few ways to do it:
Use a terminal emulator, or use GScript Lite to run this:
Code:
su;
vm.min_free_kbytes=8192;
(Not permanent, need to be ran every time you reboot)
I placed the comands in the startup script of Phone Prioritizer.
It is still unstable, even with a higher value, but now I think I should go to a newer version of Android.

100% cpu usage
I am using a Defy + 2.2.1 stock.
At some point, my CPU is always at 100%.
Even i am facing the same problem with my defy 2.2.2 stock. The Motorola service center changed my motherboard but i am still facing the problem and it is really getting frustrating now. Can you help me out?
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS OR CONSEQUENCES ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU SO CHOOSE TO USE THIS GUIDE.
I own the ZTE U950 and had realized that there is very little information (in English) on how to do anything beyond stock for this incredible phone. After hours of research and translation I was able to figure out everything needed to get this phone to a "better" state. Since then I - and other XDA members - have been trying to keep the ZTE U950 alive...
ZTE U950 SPECS
NVIDIA TEGRA 3 (1.3MHz)
1GB RAM
4.3" Display (480x800)
5MP Front Camera/0.3MP Back Camera
Android OS 4.0.4
DRIVERS
Here are the "Join Me" drivers so that your PC can recognize the ZTE U950.
KERNEL
Stock - This is the stock kernel's source file.
Custom - This is a custom kernel for stock ROMs that can be OC'd to 2.5GHz.
ROOT
1) Make sure you have USB Debugging Mode and Unknown Sources checked in your phone Settings.
2) Connect your phone to your PC.
3) Download and open Genotools.
4) The program will open, click the 4th tab (last tab on the right).
5) Ensure that your phone is plugged into your PC.
6) Click the 2nd ROOT button.
7) A popup window will appear, press OK.
8) Your phone will then have a popup window, click the "Restore My Data" option.
9) The phone will restart several times, leave it for a few minutes.
10) This is the odd part... The phone will likely not stop restarting, and when you try to click the unlock key for the screen, it will automatically restart. Disconnect the phone. It should continue to restart.
11) Force the phone off.
12) Restart the phone.
13) If you have SuperUser, you are then rooted. If not, repeat these steps.
ROOT - NEW VERSION #1 (UNTESTED!):
1) Download the file here.
2) The instructions read verbatim are, "1 If your phone is not acquired before the ROOT privileges, we choose 1 root [next line] 2 after enter". Which I assume means click root, then enter...
ROOT - NEW VERSION #2 (UNTESTED!):
1) Download the root kit here made for the ZTE U950 (it uses the Chinese recovery), and extract to your desktop.
2) On your phone, go into Settings and enable USB Debugging under Developer options.
3) Connect the phone to your PC (Windows OS should fail to recognize the device).
4) Run either DrvInst_x64.exe or DrvInst_x86.exe. If you are unsure what you have, run both, the wrong one will fail with an error message.
5) After installation, unplug and replug your phone.
6) Go into Device Manager. You should be able to see a "ZTE TD Handset ADB Interface" under the "Android Phone" section. If you don't, reinstall the drivers again.
7). To root, simply run the U950_Root.bat file, and follow the instructions.
RECOVERY (CWM/TWRP)
1) Download the Chinese CWM or English TWRP recovery.img and place it into the root folder of your external SD card.
2) Download a terminal emulator. (If you are unable to download one, use the APP TRICKS described near the bottom to install a terminal emulator onto your phone.)
3) Open the terminal emulator.
4) Type in "su" then hit the return button.
5) Now type in the following:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS
(and press the return button)
6) There should be a few lines beginning with something like 14052 or 14272, if not, then the above input was not typed correctly. If so, the recovery should now be installed.
GET INTO RECOVERY
1) Turn the phone off.
2) Hold the Power button + Volume Down button. When the ZTE logo comes up, count two seconds and then let go of the buttons.
3) The phone will enter into recovery. Use the Volume rockers for up and down and the power button to choose (if on CWM), or simply touch the buttons (if on TWRP).
4) I will describe the standard processes here if using CWM - the menus are top-to-bottom on the phone, which are written left-to-right here:
The Main Menu:
[*] Reboot system now
[*] Select zip to flash/install
[*] Wipe data
[*] Wipe cache
[*] Backup and restore
[*] Flash memory/Format
[*] Advanced setting
[*] Turn off phone
The Zip Menu:
[*] Install from zip
[*] Install from internal
Wipe Date:
[*] Confirm wipe data
[*] Do not wipe data
Wipe Cache:
[*] Confirm wipe cache
[*] Do not wipe cache
Backup and Restore:
[*] Backup
[*] Restore

CM10/.1 - HeatSka Edition
This should be listed under ROMS, but I felt that it needed its own section. Ska and I worked on this for quite some time getting all the kinks worked out. We did not create the original version of this unofficial Cyanogenmod port, but the original had many issues and was not maintained after its initial release. All the major problems have been worked out in our HeatSka edition.
The ROM was initially CM10 (4.1.2), but it has been mixed with files that list it as 4.2.2 (CM10.1) under the information section. In either case, it is Jelly Bean! Aside from the fixes we have implemented, there are also numerous tweaks and mods for UI speed, network speed, battery consumption, app installs, and much more. There is almost no theming, just enough to know that this is our enhanced (and better) variation.
The only known issue that may arise is CPU throttling. We have included an app called, "LGP880 Booster". This app will allow a CPU speed boost when turned on, with a temperature threshold to prevent overheating. If you wish to save battery, only enable this app when playing a game or using CPU-intensive apps.
DOWNLOAD: CM10.1/2 - HeatSka
FLASH A ROM
1) Download a ROM.
2) Place the ROM in the root of the phone's SD card.
3) Enter into recovery.
4) Wipe data.
5) Wipe cache.
NOTE: Wipe data and cache are the Factory Reset button in TWRP.
6) Follow the menus to get to the ROM in the SD card.
7) Click the power button to choose the ZIP if on CWM (or just push the designated button on TWRP).
8) The ROM is being flashed.
9) Follow the left arrow (the last selection) on the menus to get back to the main menu.
10) Choose the first option on the main menu to reboot on CWM (or click Reboot followed by System in TWRP).
NOTE I: The ROM will probably be in Chinese. Find the Settings icon and click it. Go down to the Language & Input setting and click it (there is a capital "A" next to it). Click the top setting and choose the desired language.
NOTE II: There may not be an English keyboard available, so download this 4.2 keyboard ZIP file and flash it in recovery.
INSTALL GOOGLE PLAY
1) Download and install a file explorer like ES Explorer (free) or Root Explorer (paid). (If the phone is unable to download a file explorer, use the APP TRICKS described near the bottom to install one onto the phone.)
2) Download and take the three files from the RAR file for Google Play and place them in a folder on the phone that can easily be reached with a file explorer.
3) Open up a file explorer.
4) Move the three files to the "/System/App" folder on the phone.
5) Give the three files each the same permissions (Read for all three groups, and Write for User).
6) Restart the phone and Google Play should now be installed.
Notes: a) There are cases where two Google Play store icons may appear. They should both work and not cause problems.
b) If the store does not show, redo the process above.
c) This trick does seem to work on other Android devices as I have successfully done this on a Galaxy Note N7000.
INSTALL FACTORY ROM
1) Download a Factory ROM from above and place the "update.zip" file in the root of your external SD card.
2) Go to Settings.
3) Go down to About Phone and click that.
4) Click on System Updates.
5) Remove the check mark.
6) Click OK.
7) The phone should restore to whichever factory update file was used.
APN FIX (MOBILE DATA FIX)
If your mobile data is not working then use this method to fix your APN:
1) Revert to stock ROM (or any custom ROM where mobile data does work).
2) Download and open a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES Explorer.
3) Go to /system/etc
4) Copy "apns-conf.xml".
5) Go to /sdcard/
6) Paste "apns-conf.xml".
7) Flash ROM.
8) Download a file explorer and open it.
9) Copy "apns-conf.xml".
10) Go to /system/etc
11) Paste "apns-conf.xml" (overwriting the existing file).
12) Reboot the phone.
13) Mobile data should now work.
GAME SUPPORT FOR ZTE U950 (WORKS ONLY FOR U950V1.0.0B02)
Note: I have not tested this. Apparently the first firmware version of this phone is not recognized by Google Play for certain Tegra games. If this occurs, try the following method.
1) Make a backup of the System folder. (It is easier to make a Backup of the entire ROM in recovery...)
2) Insert the build.prop file from this file.
3) Clear the Data for Google Play store (Settings > Apps > Google Play > Clear Data).
4) Reboot the phone.
5) When opening Google Play it should make give their agreement again. If it doesn't, then Data has not been cleared.
6) The rows modified in the build prop is as follows:
Desire ro.product.model = X
HTC ro.product.brand =
Desire ro.product.name = X
Desire ro.product.device = X
...
HTC ro.product.manufacturer =
AGAIN, I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS SO USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
APP SUPPORT FOR ZTE U950
Note: Some apps will throw package errors after downloaded and then will not install. This method will help a lot of these errors from occurring. It doesn't work for all, but it will for some [tested with Dead Trigger 2].
1) Download this file.
2) Use a file explorer like ES Explorer (free) or Root Explorer (paid) and put com.google.android.maps.xml in /system/etc/permissions
3) Put com.google.android.maps.jar in /system/framework
4) Reboot the phone and now apps should install without issue.
DEAD TRIGGER 1
1) Enable graphics details to High in Setup/Others.
2) Exit the game.
3) Use a file explorer like ES Explorer (free) or Root Explorer (paid) and go to /data/data/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger/shared_prefs/
4) Edit the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml file.
5) Change <int name=”UnityGraphicsQuality” value=”1″ /> to <int name=”UnityGraphicsQuality” value=”2″ />
6) Change <int name=”OptionsGraphicDetail” value=”2″ /> to <int name=”OptionsGraphicDetail” value=”3″ />
7) Save the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml file.
8) Remove all write permission on User, Group and Other for the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml file.
9) Delete the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml.bak file.
Note: This technique works on any non-Tegra device.
APP TRICKS
If apps cannot be downloaded normally (from Google Play), this guide will show an alternative method on how to install them:
1) Download the necessary apk file online.
2) Open the 4.2LatinIme.zip with 7zip or WinRAR and delete the keyboard APK (or keep it if not installed yet).
3) While the ZIP is open go into "/Sytem/App" and place in it any APK you want installed.
4) Boot into recovery.
5) Flash the ZIP file.
6) Reboot and the app(s) should be installed.
Note: I have noticed that certain apps do not flash properly so an alternative APK needs to be downloaded. However, once you have the right apps to install Google Play, you should be able to download any apps from the store.
HARDWARE FIXES BY SKA
NOTE: Always work without the battery attached to the phone.
SIM Card No Longer Works
INFO: There is a diode which provides voltage to the SIM card. Somehow it has become loose, which disallows current to the SIM. Thus, the baseband cannot recognize the SIM card any longer.
FIX: The easiest way to fix and check something is to "re-flow" the PCB (printed circuit board). The modem soldering must be re-flowed in order to reconnect the loose diode and re-allow voltage back to the SIM card.
Touchscreen Not Displaying
Open up your phone. If you don't know how, then you won't be able to continue...
There are three connectors on the left soc side. Check the upper connector near the audio jack and try to seat with a pair of tweezers very gently.
There is a white line on every connector - apart from the battery connector - pull up straight. It must be exactly at the of the beginning of the brown clip when pulled downwards.
MISC
I have successfully paired this phone with a PS3 controller using Sixaxis. This is not unique to my phone as I have verified that there is support within the Kernel for this.
It does seem that Wii controller support can be turned on according to the kernel...
There are no known custom kernels for this phone, however, the incomplete Cyanogenmod ROM available does seem to use its own kernel.
The phone is "stuck" on ICS 4.0.4 with almost every ROM. The incomplete Cyanogenmod ROM upgrades the OS to JB 4.1.2.
The phone is known to have heating issues on different (all?) firmware versions. While these do not seem to attribute to hardware failure, it is an annoyance.
Different firmware versions apparently produce varying levels of GPU performance: The best in GPU performance is U950V1.0.0B14, but this build may produce issues in some games. The worst in GPU performance is U950V1.0.0B18, but it is stable. The U950V1.0.0B22 is stable as well but has better GPU performance than B18. I have found no information on how well the first and last firmware versions perform in terms of GPU.
To disconnect the battery connector you need to place a spudger beneath and lift up. It is the same method used for the connectors of fans, temperature sensors, and the battery in a MacBook Pro 2006/7/8.

Unfortunately I haven't found anything that would suggest that you can. The best I could do is have one of my friends tell me what each section states, but that may be a long while from now.
The menus I have figured out and listed are the most necessary. The others are just icing I suppose.
Unable to switch it back on
Hi,
first of all, please excuse me if this is not exactly related to this post, but I see there is not much discussion around this device so I figured this would be an okayish place to ask.
I got my ZTE U950 just today, put my SIM and MicroSD cards in it, turned it on, all OK. I played with it for a while, changed the language into English, tried some apps, deleted lots of default installed Chinese apps (such as Baidu, QQ, Baidu maps, etc).
I run Debian on my machine, so this guide wasn't working for me. However, I tried to run Genotools on Wine and followed the first steps, but no pop-up showed in my phone and I decided that probably Wine wasn't forwarding the USB dev properly. The phone kept on working normally for a while, I even recieved a phone call.
Then I turned it off just to switch the SIM back to my old phone and, after that, I haven't been able to switch the ZTE back on again. At first I thought it'd be the battery running out (although it reported 50% left while it was on), but I've had it connected for about 30 minutes now and I still can't turn it on...
Do you guys know if there is something I can try?
Thanks a lot and excuse me again if I posted in the wrong place... (and if I have, could you please point out where should I post it?)
Bernat.
EDIT: Today I woke up, I pressed the power button and... surprise! It just worked!

Do you have the usb-drivers installed ? (doublechek in device manager for windows ) Sometimes Win7-64 or Firewalls block uncertified drivers to install correctly. For 7-64 you can press F8 during early boot and choose "force unsigned drivers" or something simiar. On linux you should go through an Android adb installation howto, to correctly get debuginterface running.
Once you have installed chinese recover you can install some prerooted images from the hungarion or chinese sites.

3G
Hi guys,
does anybody know if/how it is possible to connect to a 3G network with this terminal? In the specs it says it can only connect to Chinese 3G networks, so I'd like to know whether this is a software or a hardware restriction.
If it's a hardware one, I guess the solution must be pretty complex...
Cheers!

I was able to root my ZTE V985 couple days ago. Download root installation package from:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=68344&uk=2753639880
1. Install ZTE USB driver first: Goto Settings -Developer options - enable Driver CDROM. Connect your phone to the computer and install driver package from ZTE. 985root.7z package has also ZTE USB driver but it didn't work on my Win 7, so I installed drivers from phone.
2. Turn off CDROM mode and enable USB debugging mode and Unknown sources
3. Unzip 985root.7z file to any folder
4. Run xxxroot.bat and command window appears. Script will stop and ask you to press any key (in Chinese)
5. Check that your phone is connected and press any key. Script will upload files to your phone
6. There will be popup window on your phone. Click Restore my data
7. Phone will then boot up but keep it connected to PC and wait until it is fully booted
8. if there's nothing going on in command window, press any key and command window closes. If your are rooted, you have SuperUser app

Hahaha you silly billy, i know whats happened to you! You got the ZTE U985 instead of the V985. The ZTE U985 only supports TD-SCDMA 3g network which is CHINA only. You should have bought the ZTE V985 which is WCDMA 800/1900/2100 mhz which supports western 3G networks. LMFAO. I feel sorry for you fella.
Where did you buy the v985 ? I only can find offers from 350-400$ and for this pricing I can´t find any real advantages buying a chinese phone , there is also no DualSim,and normally very limited languages ( chinese cwm?),....

I bought it from fastcardtech.com, only 275 USD with free delivery.
From hardware specs point of view this is a really good phone, fast as my Asus TF700T tab with Tegra 3. It also supports WCDMA 900/2100MHz which are the most used 3G frequencies in EU. It does have only English and Chinese languages, but I used MoreLocale 2 to get more choices. More Locale does not change system language (like settings, caller app etc) so those will remain in English, but for example now other apps like Google play, Chrome etc. supports the language you have chosen in MoreLocale.

Where did you buy the v985 ? I only can find offers from 350-400$ and for this pricing I can´t find any real advantages buying a chinese phone , there is also no DualSim,and normally very limited languages ( chinese cwm?),....

Dont get it wrong my mate the zte v985 is a beast of a phone + a smart piece of hardware. Only downfall i see is the limited rom/root/customization support since its new (october 2012)
Reasons why you should purchase the zte v985:
1. really supports APP2SD (install apps to external sd so you never run out of space and you dont have to throw away your phone when internal memory of 4GB gets full like most other android phones)
2. quad core cpu + 12 core NVIDIA gpu (theres websites full of games made only for this cpu + gpu)
3. USB OTG (using your superfast cpu and gpu together with usb otg you can turn your phone into an high class gaming system using two usb game controllers playing arcade roms and 3d games ON YOUR PHONE!). This is an awesome feature that not all phones support even some high performance quad core phones dont have this function.
4. 720P HD screen + 1080P HD Playback/Recording
5. Full MHL support (usb to hdmi)
6. Cheapest all round high performance quad core. Awesome price (£190) for a phone compared to other quad core high performance phones e.g galaxy note 2 @ £500
NOTE: if you would like to buy this phone for the price mentioned leave a message with your email or contact me i know a seller in china.
NOTE: Or you could wait another month or two and buy the new mtk 6589 quad core phones such as the UMI X2 which is quad core, DUAL SIM, usb otg, 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM and dirt cheap (£200!!!)
I get my ZTE V985 today through the post, cant wait till i get it!
