How I fixed my China phone

I bought the LAUDE Pulse S800 off ebay for £24.99 with delivery charge as a temporary phone because my old trusty Galaxy S i9000 couldn’t handle the latest Android ROM, and my (early) upgrade date isn’t until March. All was perfect, however when I came to reinstall all my apps I was getting the dreaded “Not enough space” message. Confused I dug deaper only to discover that the app partition was only 900 megabytes.

With the help of someone over at Needrom.com I now have over 3 gigabyte data partion and as a bonus no more annoying loud start-up music.

(This may or may not work with the Landvo L200 3G version)

How to flash

1.  Backup with MTK Droid tools
2. Download and extract ROM files with WinRAR 5 or newer
3. Flash with SP Flash Tool.

(How do I do that?)

*Install SP Drivers – I found this MT6577 USB VCOM works best

(Note: If you want to install drivers on win 8.1 64-bit, you will need to reboot Windows into recovery mode, troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, restart, # 7 disable driver signature enforcement)

* Open SP Flash Tool, then click Scatter-loading button to load the txt scatter file
* Turn off your phone
* Hit Download button
* Connect phone to USB with data cable
* Wait for the green circle
* Disconnect phone

4. After install start recovery mode, (hold volume+ and power button, then wait until prompt for recovery mode) wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition

5. You’re done, enjoy

  1. Glad you made it lads.
    I’m missing something apparently.
    My PC ”sees” the Laude for few seconds
    then disappear.
    currently this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (code 45)
    I tried a good number of changing options here and there
    No luck so far
