I recently purchased two M88 Miphones from China (Windows Mobile 6.0 version). Both were supposed to be in English but when they were shipped to me, one was in English and the other Spanish. How can I change the language from Spanish to English? Or maybe I can install an entirely new English version of Windows Mobile 6.0? Can I extract the ROM from the English one and use it for the other (Spanish) one? Please help. Thanks.
It's great to find a way to install or restore the Windows on M88. My one just died. I haven't access to anything but the "phone" functions, so i need to restore it somehow from my PC. Some advices?

Hi, I think there is a way to change your Windows to English. I received the same phone with the same problem. I wrote to the supplier and they respond with the decision: they provided the original english WM6 ROM for M88 MiPhone on the website, so you can download it from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/168534489/DX.SKU16783.UPDATE.ENGLISH.AUG01.rar
But my problem is that I can't go in to the bootloader mode - just don't know how so to start loading the Windows OS. The instructions on the site are very poor and don't work. So I'm stuck again. Here there are the instructions:
"English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) available for download
- To update ROM, format your TF card with FAT32 and unzip all files and folders from the downloaded file into the root folder of the TF card. Then, restart the phone to begin updating. This update converts all non-English versions of this phone into English version."
And some more instructions from my correspondence with the supplier, which shows different way of putting the phone in to the bootloader mode:
"we have a better idea to solve this inconvenience for you
we had updated a file on our website for you
you can download it and put it in your memory card to update the language into English.
you can put the file in the memory card no need to creat a folder for it
and insert the card into your cellphone
press the power bottom and the home bottom together
a few second later there would be a message on the screen shows you can press the home bottom again to restart the cellphone"
So maybe you can see they are showing different ways to enter the boot loader. Neidher 2 of them are working for me.
Since I have this phone I didn't find a way to enter the bootloader mode! I tried every combination between the keys but NOTHING! The only thing what I can do with the buttons is SWITCH OFF, SOFT RESET AND HARD RESET.
Please if somebody discover how to do that on that phone -M88 to share here with the rest of us!
Best of luck!

Hi, I'm From Brazil
I'm selling this phone here in my country.
I think I've got same problem here. But I've tried to get bootscren and it seems to be that procedure correct.
Once you shutdown the phone first remove it battery for 10 seconds, and than put back into the phone. Than press power and home(that center buttom) until phone show 2 messages(one for master boot and other for clear boot).
After this message you may release power buttom and keep pressing home buttom untill phone shows it boot screen.
You will face a "downloading program, please wait" message on phone screem
But be extremelly carefull than, make sure you have a power cable attached to the phone and it battery at least 90% charged because update took lot of time sometimes.
I'm telling that because today I have one M88 "dead" in my hands because I did not followed all this procedure and after 35 minutes, by mystake I pressed reset buttom.
Now my phone not even turns on, nor charge it battery, is dead.
But I think using one of those "BOX" devices I will ressucitate it!
Thanks m8!
The thing is that when I press the 2 buttons at once I can only get blue screen for less than 1 second and after that Windows is loading. When it is done - the phone is after hard reset. I've tried hundreds of times - always the same. I can't get messages asking me to load software - only hard reset is the result. I've tried any other combination, including the reset buton under the cover, next to USB, but never managed to enter the service mode or boot mode or whatever it is.
One week I'm wasting my time in doing hundreds of attemts to enter the bootloader and nothing! How then do you make a hard reset on the M88?
Do you thing if I can use backup from english version of the same model that will change the situation - the spanish will be substituted by english? And if it's possible can you upload such a backup, made by Spb backup software for me, please?
Best regards
I have stupid problem. Some files disappeared, some programs stopped working and the entire system blocked. I made many soft and hard resets, which fixed the things... for a while. After one hour it's blocking again, without any settings, or interventions.
I downloaded the ROM, created a "root" folder in the card and unzipped everything there.
The thing is that it ROM-boot looks too fast - only couple of minutes. Can it be?

Go ahead
But be pretty calm when performing update or you gonna get a bricked phone.
But is it possible that the update takes only few minutes? Or i'm doing only hard reset?

It's a really nice phone isn't it?

How to install WM6 ROM - English version on M88 MiPhone from SD card
Please download the original ROM from here
I was adwised to do this:
1. Duplicate the update.img file and rename the second one as "uploader"
2. Copy both "update.img" and "uploader" on the SD - formatted in FAT32
3. Press POWER and HOME butons at the same time.
4. There are two possible options from here:
a) White screen with blue text showing "Upload image... please wait..."
b) Red screen with the options what to do in the next step -
5. I saw first the a) option - the white screen. So after 3 minutes of waiting the phone said it is done and it will selfrestart.
After the restart it will load the English OS on your M88
Enjoy
the mine is dead too.

M88 english bootloader
Here is the fix, sponsored by wirelessandmorestore.com
Copy both of these files to your computer.
http://uploading.com/files/YE6JJ36Y/update.img.html
http://uploading.com/files/TA1N0MBA/uploader.img.html
Plug in your phone and copy them to the SD card.
Turn the phone off.
Press the button on the top and the round button on the face at the same time and continue to hold it. As you are holding it, the phone will turn and go thorugh a couple steps before it says something like 'downloading image' or 'updating image' something like that.
Once it gets to that screen, you can let go of the buttons and the phone will update and reboot. This will take a couple of minutes. It will be in English when it turns itself back on and loads Windows.
English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) for M88 MiPhone
Please download from here
If somebody knows how to enter the bootloader mode of this phone please share here with us!
Here is the instruction for this procedure from the supplier which is nor working for me:
"English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) available for download
- To update ROM, format your TF card with FAT32 and unzip all files and folders from the downloaded file into the root folder of the TF card. Then, restart the phone to begin updating. This update converts all non-English versions of this phone into English version."
If somebody can manage to install the ROM please write here the steps!
Thanks!
You can get to the flash update by pressing RESET, MENU, and POWER all at the same time, then release RESET first and wait for a message. The message will tell you to release POWER to do a hard-reset or MENU to do a flash update. In this case, you will release MENU first, then you will get a message asking if you want to update from SD. At this point, none of the buttons do anything so I assume you have to tap the touchscreen. My touchscreen is broken so I couldn't get any further than this.
Problem Fixed!

Check this out:
Resco explorer
Pocket Mechanic
Pocket Toolman
Resco is very useful thing so the other two are very powerful as well. You will definetely uninstall S2U2 with more than one of them.
Good luck!

i have a daxian +999
i flash it whit that file it work but now i have a white screen the phone looks like ok but nothing shows in the screen only a white screen what i can do ??
My touchscreen does work but I get the white screen asking me "updated from SD card?" then it just sits there. I dont have a keyboard to hit Y. None of the buttons do anything. Touching the screen does nothing.
*edit* figured it out. You just keep holding the power button down. Then it flashed to a solid purple screen. I went wtf.... it screwed up again? then after a few minutes it booted up.
problems in m89
hello, I recently bought a M89.
In general the phone is great, but mine has a very big problem.
As a PDA it works great, but when I insert my SIM card the phone just freezes. It works for just a minute after the SIM is inserted. I've even been able to make one or two calls before it freezes.
But past one or two minutes it just stops working. It doesn't respond to anything at all, the only solution is to remove the battery.
I think the problem is in the firmware. I've reinstalled a bunch of diferent firmwares: wm6 english, wm6.1 spanish, wm6 english again... and nothing works.
can anyone help me???, 'cause this is really killing me :'(
Thanks in advance!

Just wondering - What is the size of your microSD card.
As far as I know m88 does not support SD card greater that 4 Gb by default.
Please, let us know.
Updated from SD Card ?
Hello, first of all I want to say thank you because I learned a lot from this thread. I bought M88 phone some months ago and is the first time I cannot use ( I really don't know what went wrong but finally the phone is not working or frezze ).
I bought 2Gb card and was formatted in FAT32. I also complete all steps in order to load the original image but I got this message: "updated from SD card?" and nothing more... What button must be pressed ?
I'll go crazy... do you know what's the next step ?
Thank you very much.
i dont understand sorry. i have to copy the "update" imgfile and rename it as "uploader"... and leave this two files : "update and uploader" in the root folder ?
I've install ROM from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452848
and now, when I try power on my MiPhone - it show only white screen - please help!
bootloading
the file, atleast on windows 7, shows up as "update". Also, I found it works must faster and easier to make 3 copies (4 files total)
naming 1: update.img
2: uploader.img
3: Update
and 4: uploader
(so the last 2 don't actual have .img in the title)
Then just make sure you hold down both the buttons, and vuo-la! haha
Doesn't fix the MMS problem though.
Does anyone know how to make it so that it can use mms?

Afternoon all,
Last night I left my Desire charging as normal, having recently installed the Remote Media App. I suspect it used up all my storage with some sort of indexing process, as I returned to the phone this morning to find it perpetually showing the glinting HTC logo.
A reboot failed to clear it, and booting into recovery mode reveals"E:Error in DATA:data/recovery/log, (No space left on device)"
I've tried connecting to it with adb, but I get the following error
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Is there any way out of this bind? I had/have ClockWorkMod recovery installed in order to use ROM Manager, but I'm not terribly clued up on what else is out there on offer.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kyle
Try rebooting the phone into recovery mode and wipe/factory reset and see if this fixes it?
(Although you will loose all your apps/settings/scenes, though)
This should resolve the problem though.
hehe, there is always that option. I was hoping not to lose texts, settings, etc though this time round. Sadly my backup is more than a few days old.
I was mistaken in thinking I had ClockWorkMods recovery image installed, it appears to have gone back to the default image. I've just discovered a modified recovery ROM from JesusFreke here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443041 which may be of use.
Having to wipe and start from scratch again is a disgustingly appaling out of space failure mode. >:-/
bin the phone and use a pineapple
That recovery image is for G1! Don't even think about flashing it.
Even if you have stock recovery, you should still be able to clear storage from HBOOT.
Regards,
Dave
One other thing that might be worth trying is booting the device in safe mode.
Whilst the phone is power down, hold down the menu button and then power on - keep menu held down until the phone is fully booted.
I doubt that it will help in this situation, since clearly /data is completely full, but there's always a slim chance it work.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks for the advice m, I'll be sure to kick you in the nads next time you cross the border
Sadly Safe Mode fails too. The HTC logo appears and glints for a while, and then briefly vanishes just to reappear again. My thumb got sore after 5 minutes of holding the button down
I realised that was a G1 ROM shortly after reading more about it! I see there may be a more suitable recovery ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709146 that I can flash. Failing that, then I'll clear storage and consign myself to failure
Wahey! It's sorted! Well, it was sorted a couple of hours ago, but a meeting got in the way
Wrote up some of the details here - http://lodge.glasgownet.com/2010/08/31/recovering-a-htc-desire/ if anyone is interested!

Sorry to dig up an OLD OLD thread, but your "guide" helped me out last night.
In addition to looking for "big" items in the data partition, I also moved some of the Google updates (5meg Maps.apk anyone ?) from /data/app to /system/app ... renaming to overwrite the original version from my Rom.
Thanks Again.
I recently was given an lg g3 that was supposed to have a damaged kernel, and it being my second g3 I thought I could simply flash a new kernel and OS no problem, WRONG! I worked on it for two days, I found that it has different screens with different crashes but all handled by a program called DEMIGOD CRASH HANDLER.I am able to access the recovery but nothing on there seems to do anything but reboot back to crash screen. I have been able to get win 10 to recognize the device (recent drivers already installed), but none of my linux distros will mount it! I have tried LGFlashtool, adb on CMD admin, i have tried many combinations of button pushes and battery pull/cord unplug, replug maneuvers! I am stuck! I have realized this problem may be bigger than I am able to handle, so I registered with lg and requested repair, I just hate giving up! So I am reaching out hoping someone has dealt with this problem before and knows how to take care of this mess before I raise the white flag! there isn't much back story on the device but as far as i know it has never been modified! LG Flash tool said "model check error" it seems like there is no esn imei or p# is available or downloaded. I have considered it being a case of misplaced data on the partitions, but I am not completely sure how to rearrange or reinstall the partition tables to make it work! Most of the threads that talked about this problem, the author gave up and sent it in. I also heard that this was a prevalent case in older lg models (g2, optimus, etc.) but was also a problem on nexus 6. Help please, frustrated and cold in Colorado.
still no results
To no avail I have tried everything! I have seen some changes but nothing that tells me that its fixed! I have tried qpst, but either I don't know how to run it or it wont connect properly, as a matter of fact I dont think it connects properly to any of the programs I run on it. It doesn't help that the only way the computer recognizes it is when it is on demigod mode.has anyone out there in android land had some experience or any idea of how to format the internal sd and start over from scratch?

You managed to fix it?
am facing the same issue.
Not yet i am thinking about just sending it back to lg. It's mixed up partitions, due to power surge from unauthorized power cords.
Do you have your phone rooted and with a custom recovery?
If yes,
Give this a try:
1.Enter recovery
2.Wipe data
3.Wipe cache
4.Wipe dalvic cache
5.Reboot
I've had the same problem with an LG L9 ii and this one fixed it.
So i really hope this will help. Inform me after doing this.
Greetings.
About five months ago I was able to access recovery but nothing was functional, now I cant even turn it on, if you left it on a different charger, kernal crash handler popped up half the time. Before it quit turning on the lg boot logo started going fuzzy, logic leads me to believe its a messed up Q C mother and the partitions are scrambled due to me using a non-oem charging cord and block, I also suspect the power button mounted to the back, on top of mother might have caused some hw problems. But those are just theories, it could simply be a bad battery!
Hi all!
Some days ago I urooted my TV android tv box with superSU and then I restarted it. From that moment when I plug the device it only reach the T9 logo (not the android one) and don't go further.
I've tried different ways to try to unstuck it, but nothing has worked.
I tried:
- enter recovery boot by holding the button in the av hole -> nothing happens
- install new firmware with adb sideload with both ubuntu and windows 10 -> always get errors (often error: closed, sometime other errors that at the moment don't remember)
- install new firmware with sd card using SDCard Installer -> the device doesn't boot when the sd is inserted
Moreover, with adb in ubuntu sometimes it recognises the device and I can enter the adb shell (but obtain errors when try any tipe of command), and sometimes don't (after adb devices I see list of attached devices: ??????????????? offline)
Now I'm thinking to try to install an ubuntu like on an usb pendrive...
I will be very grateful of any help/suggestion to how to revive my device :fingers-crossed:
Thank you!!!
Does this happen to be a pendoo model? I have a pendoo x10 MAX and i actually simply just installed supersu while it was rooted. Since then, I haven't gotten this thing to boot. Just stays on the boot screen the entire way. I wiped in recovery, knew that'd do nothing. I just wanted a root MANAGER. I tried Magisk, my favorite.. no go.. so then I went a bit old school.. so I tried ChainFire's SuperSU.. and THAT updated the SU binary! It said it succeeded.. it asked to do recovery install or normal install.. on phones, I've always done normal.. so I chose normal. Plus.. this thing has no custom recovery. I found it on Amazon. Overpriced, but great with the controller it had. It looks like I'll need a replacement and maybe a request to ask this guy if he could possibly NOT use something like KingRoot/KingoRoot/AmaraRoot or ANY One click root tool.. they just cause more bloatware, inciting boot issues and problems within the Android box itself. These One Click Root tools are out of control. It's to the point where I need to find a way in to adb and find the firmware for the latest version of this thing... X10Max from Pendoo.. I have not found a thing anywhere regarding firmware, and their website is ****. NOTHING *anywhere* on these things.. hell I'm about to return it as I bought it for $72. I have another one, same model.. wondering if the root method was different. About to boot that up and find out. I'll even swap the board. At this point.. he rooted it.. the WRONG way.. you can MOUNT THE /SYSTEM PARTITION IN RECOVERY. THIS IS ANDROID 9 we're talking about--the recovery supported by API v3.
This can and should have a TWRP custom recovery. If none exists, don't bother. As long as you can mount /system then you have a chance, at least, to root the damn thing.. which is why I'm still messing with it. I have another two weeks to return it. I'll give it another couple of days before I call it off and just switch out the good board for the bad one, return it, then return the other one and just use it until I find a way to use a custom recovery on this thing. There has to be.. unless there is no firmware available in sight (for an RK3318 or 3328, can't tell.. recovery mode says 3328, model name says RK3318. I see no difference at the moment aside from processor naming at this point--maybe speed?)
I'm still a nub with Android TV boxes so don't hold it against me for updating the damn root binary. If I could find a way to just reinstall the entire firmware and delete all previous stuff, I would. It would be worth it to learn. I would then mount /system in recovery and soldier on.
One little issue with this thing.. there's only one USB port that actually works. Same applies for the same exact product, a replication of the same thing.. was a "replacement" that still have/has the same qualities.
I've ranted enough. I vote more research into RK33xx processors and possible custom recoveries. I'm about to look for it based on only the device itself.
Note: Been stuck at boot screen ever since the binary was updated. I felt it was necessary to have a boot manager. I don't know where to even find the firmware. Can.. anyone point me in any direction? Something that MIGHT work on this thing? Android 6 or 7 would even suffice, return or no return, as "stuck on boot screen" will be my complaint. That's.. the actual complaint. I can't just *flash it* like the old days.. and maybe the original Android 9.0 firmware would suffice.. I don't know, but Pendoo.. wouldn't that be preferred?
You will need an SDcard to recover this box. I think the T9 32GB 4GB rom will do the job since its a cut down version.
Make a update SDcard and pop it in and power on the box. It will start the recovery on its own.
hello, sorry for my English I live in France I would have a question about the box: TV T9 RK3318, 4gb / 64gb. the problem is that the time is desynchronized on restart and creates problems to connect to applications when the time is out of order, I tried everything changed the time zone to deactivate and entered the time Manual it goes out of order all the time . is there a custom version or a version 10?
Very cook did I checked this out awhile back alot of good information that's for your contribution
