I´m not responsible for what you do! This guide could “destroy” your phone if you do something different how it is explained!!!
I do not have any claim of fullness! If here should be any mistakes feel free to correct me!
Support is now stopped, read this post for more details...
Hi folks
I saw that here is missing a basic guide for our device, then I noticed that we have get a lot of new members, too!
This guide will be so noobfriendly that even my grandmother will understand it
I will try to answer here every question and I will add it then to the front page. I will answer very kindly, too! So feel free to ask everything =)
Please follow each step, don´t skip any step and do all exactly how I explain it...
Must haves:
Following things are must haves for every I9001 phone. In this guide I will explain how to get them on YOUR phone.
Most things will be installed automated by a installation of a custom rom, which is then more easily for you to get them!
Busybox
USB-Debugging
Clockworkmod
Root
Deodex
1. Basics:
About Roms:
What is a Rom:
The whole system of your phone is a rom. Windows 7 is a Rom for your computer (just a metaphor)
A rom contains different sections:
boot.img (kernel)
system.img (the main-system)
recovery.img (recovery mode)cache.img (caches)
Stock-Rom:
The Stock-Rom is the system which Samsung is delivering to the store. Samsung built this rom from the google sources and changed android they way they like it.
The stock-rom is the original rom of your phone!
You can find a lot of stock roms in the Index or just here in the dev forum
Custom-Rom:
A custom-rom is a modified rom which has different improvements. The base can be of a stock rom or it is an AOSP-Rom.
You can find a lot of custom roms here in the forum or just visit the Index
AOSP-Rom:
This is a Custom-Rom too, but the base is built from the sources of Google. The advantages are that there is not any garbage, it is more stable and it has more functionality. But the disadvantage is that it is hard to build and it will take long time for being bug free.
Basic knowledge:
What are Tweaks:
Tweaks are changing values in the system. Tweaks ussually improves the whole system
Kernel Description:
The Kernel is a piece of software which controls everything on your system.
The kernel controls the cpu with the governor. The governor decides the behavior of the cpu, like when the cpu has to be on the max. clock or when it has to be on the min. clock.
The kernel controls the ram and sd-card behavior with the scheduler. The scheduler decides how long a process should be saved in the ram and it influences the sd-card read and write speed.
The kernel controls the voltage of the battery on a specific cpu clock, too
The kernels which are offered here are oc (overclocked), UV (under volted), they add new governors and scheduler and the add the init.d support.
Init.d makes it possible to launch tweaks at the boot of the phone if they are in the init.d folder (system/etc/init.d).
A description of governors and scheduler are here and here
You can change the governor and scheduler with AnTuTu CPU Master
I recommend strongly to change the kernel because it improves your system immense, but in the other hand the car cardle will not work anymore with these kernels.
Only Stock Kernel and the stock kernel with init.d support the car cardle
At the moment are following kernel popular:
Skyhigh
Feamod
Vitality
Stock Kernel with Init.d - KQ7
Bloadware:
Bloadware are apps which nobody needs. Samsung implement them in their stock roms. When they are removed there will be more free space for other apps and more ram will be available
Brick:
Your phone is bricked when it can not boot anymore.
There are two types bricks
Soft Brick:
When your phone is soft bricked it can cause a boot-loop (the reboot-procedure begins always as new) or your phone will stick in the boot.
Soft bricks happen often by installing themes over a odex system (more informations in the 8. point)
You can solve soft bricks easily by installing a new rom with the clockworkmod or with odin (more informations in the 2. point)
Hard Brick:
When your phone is hard bricked it will not do anything. You will not be able to enter the clockworkmod or the downloadmode!
Hard bricks often happen by flashing roms of other phones or flashing bad custom roms (at the moment there aren´t any "bad" customs roms for our device)
You can solve SOMETIMES a hard brick with a JTAG. If the jtag could not help you have to send your phone to samsung for a expensive repair
Batterly life:
You can improve your battery life by changing the governor, the scheduler, turning off gps, bluetooth, wi-fi and by changing the brightness of your display.
You can improve your battery life too by changing the max. and min. clock of your cpu. But here is to say you have to find your personal middle way of performance and battery life settings.
Wipe:
A wipe is when you delete everything on your phone. It has the same meaning as "format" and "delete". How to wipe your phone is explained in the 6. point
Other Settings:
Animations:
In the default settings the animations are diactivated, but they look so nice that you have to activate them . If you want for example the old screen off you have to activate the animations.
How to activate animations:
Enter in the settings of your smart-phone
Select "display"
Choose "animation"
Choose "all animations"
Wi-Fi troubles:
If you face Wi-Fi troubles could this method solve your problems
Enter in the settings of your phone
Choose "Wirelless and network"
Choose "Wi-Fi settings"
Press the Menu-Button
Choose "Advanced"
Activate "use static IP"
Busybox:
Busybox is a collection of commands and functions for every android phone. Some custom roms will even not be working properly without Busybox! Normally Busybox will be installed automated by a custom rom installation , but if not you can install the .zip in the post #3 through Clockworkmod (detailed explanation for installing .zips with clockworkmod are in the 2. Point)
USB Settings:
What is USB-Debugging:
USB-Debugging is a function of Android. If it is enabled you will be able to use adb. Make sure that you have it always enabled because you will need it often and by the way it does not have any disadvantages
What is adb:
adb means: Android Debug Bridge
With adb you can change/edit/install files on your phone with your computer. Broodplank1337 made a big configurator which can do incredible things!
Configurator
How To use Adb is explained in this Tutorial
How to enable USB-Debugging:
Enter in the settings of your phone
Enter in the “Applications”
Enter in “Development”
Enable “USB-Debugging”
How to copy files on your internal SD card:
Make sure that you´ve got at least installed the USB Driver if not download them from the download section (if you have installed kies you got the USB Driver installed too)
Make sure that you have enabled USB-Debugging in the Settings of your phone
Connect now your device with your computer with the usb-wire
Now just pull down your status bar and select the usb notification then you choose "connect storage to PC"
Now you can copy files on your internal SD-card
Your internal SD-card is the storage with 5 GB
2. How to install every Rom/Kernel/Recovery/Mod:
General
If it is a zip file you have to install it with Clockworkmod Recovery. If it is a .tar or a .tar.md5 file you have to install it with Odin!
Odin:
What is Odin:
Odin is a program on windows where you can install custom roms and kernel during your phone is in the Download Mode. To use Odin you need the AriesVE.ops and the kernel or custom rom you want to install.
What is the Download Mode:
When you phone is in the Download Mode you will be able to flash kernel, roms, new recovery modes with Odin. You can only exit the Download Mode by taking of the battery or when odin finished flashing!
How to get in the Download Mode:
Please turn off your phone and wait until it is completely shut down
Press the Home-button + volume-down + power button until there is an android icon
(In post#2) is a Imagine which could help you)
Installing Custom Roms and Kernels with Odin
Download:
Odin
AriesVE
(downloadlinks are in post#3)
Start Odin.exe
Press on "OPS" and choose the AriesVE.ops
Activate the Option "One Package"
Click on "One Package" and select the .tar or .tar.md5 file
Put your phone in to the download mode
Connect your phone with the usb-wire
Press "Start" in Odin
Wait until your phone reboots automatically
(In post#2) is a Imagine which could help you)
Recovery-Mode:
What is the Recovery Mode:
The Recovery Mode is like the BIOS of your computer. There you can manage your phone easily. The Stock Recovery Mode does not have a lot of functions, because of this there were made new recovery mode by good devs. A better recovery mode is the clockworkmod
What is the clockworkmod:
The clockworkmod is actually the most popular recovery mode. At the moment it is the most stable one, too
Other expressions for "clockworkmod":
"CWM"
"Recovery Mode"
"feamod"
What are the differences between Stock-Recovery Mod and Clockworkmod:
With the stock Recovery Mod you can just make a Factory Reset and install simple zip files. You will not be able to install custom roms!
With the clockworkmod you can backup, restore and format your system and install any custom rom
Do I need the Clockworkmod:
Yes it is a must have, you will not be able to install any custom rom or other mods
How to get in the stock-Recovery Mode:
Please turn off your phone and wait until it is completely shut down
Press please the power + the volume up button for 10 seconds
When you see a Box with an android icon press once the menu button to be able to use it
How to navigate in stock Recovery Mode:
Navigating:
Volume Up/Down
Selecting:
Home-Button
How to install the Clockworkmod:
Download:
AriesVE
Odin
FeaModRecovery 1.2
(downloadlinks are in post#3)
Enter the Download Mod
Now start Odin
Select as always AriesVE.ops as ops file
Then activate “one package” option in Odin and choose as “one package” “FeaModRecovery_1.2.tar.md5”
Press "Start" and wait until your phone reboots
How to get in the Clockworkmod:
Please turn off your phone and wait until it is completely shut down
Press please the power + the volume up button for 10 seconds
How to navigate in Clockworkmod:
Navigating:
Volume Up/Down
Selecting:
Menu-Button
Back:
Back-Button
What is "mounting":
If you mount something you will be able to edit/delete/add files to your system. Developer always recommend to mount /system before installing a mod, because if you don´t do it the mod will not be installed successfully
How can I mount /system:
Enter in the Clockworkmod
Choose "mounts and storage"
Choose "mount /system"
It works with /data , /cache , /efs , /emmc , /sdcard ,too
How to install Custom Roms/Kernel/Recovery/Mods with the Clockworkmod:
Put the zip file on your external-card in a folder (Do not put it in a folder with starting with a ".")
Enter in the Clockworkmod
Choose “install zip from sdcard”
Choose “choose zip from sdcard”
Choose the .zip file and install it
Reboot
3. Root:
What is a Root:
You can compare "Root" with the "admin" on your computer or with a “Jailbreak” for Apple products. If you have "root" you can modify all on your system. If you have installed root there will be no more borders.
Other expressions for "root":
"superuser""su"
What can I do exactly with a Root:
Firstly you can backup your apps (will explain this later more precise)
You can change the cpu frequency (cpu=processor an electronic circuit which executes computer programs)
You can run every app which needs root access
Does the root pay up:
Yes it does because it is the first border to cross for having the best of your phone
How to install Root with Clockworkmod:
Download the root from post#3
Put the root.zip on your external-sd-card in a folder (Do not put it in a folder with starting with a ".")
Enter the Clockworkmod
Choose "install zip from sdcard"
Choose "choose zip from sdcard"
Choose the root.zip and install it
Reboot your phone
How to install Root with stock Recovery:
Download the root from post#3
Put it on your internal SD card. Please just copy it on your SD-card and NOT in any folder
Enter in the stock Recovery Mod
Then you choose “apply update” and you choose the root.zip and install it
Reboot then your Phone by choosing “rebooting”
How to Unroot:
Download the "unroot.zip" from post#3
Put the .zip on your external-sdcard in a folder
Enter in the clockworkmod/stock recovery mode
Install it like you installed the root.zip
4. How to Backup:
There are two ways of backing up your data.
With Titanium Backup:
Titanium Backup is an app which will only backup your apps
Titanium Backup is a free app but I recommend only the pro version, because the free is too slow
Your backup will be saved on you internal-card in:
/titanium backup/
With Clockworkmod:
With the clockworkmod you can backup your apps and your whole system with all settings. I prefer this method because it is simple and secure...
How to Backup in CWM:
Enter the Clockworkmod
Select “backup and restore”
Select “backup” and enjoy your backup
Your backup will be saved on your external-card in:
/clockworkmod/backup/
5. Restore:
How to restore the whole system:
Enter the Clockworkmod
Select “backup and restore”
Select “restore” and choose the date of your backup
How to restore only apps:
Before restoring you should always format your device! How to format is explained in the next point!
Enter the Clockworkmod
Select “backup and restore”
Select “advanced restore”
Choose the date of the backup
Choose “data”
6. How to format:
Do this every time before flashing a stock- or custom-rom!
Attention!
You will delete everything on your phone! Your phone will not even be able to boot! Only Clockworkmod and the Download-Mode will be left! (Your SIM-Card will be untouched)
Please make sure that you saved only your backups on another device before formatting your phone (like on your computer)
This is the best method for using the full experience of every custom rom! I recommend this method because in the past a lot of users had issues with custom roms. They had installed a lot of different custom roms before and they didn´t format their phone correctly before flashing the new rom. This caused a lot of problems
Enter in the Clockworkmod
Choose "advanced"
Choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Go back to the main-menu by pressing the back button
Choose “Mounts and storage”
Select all after all
Format /system
Format /cache
Format /data
(Format /emmc)
(Format /sdcard)
Formating "emmc" and "sdcard" is not a duty! You will need it if you installed a mod on your internal or in your external card
7. Warranty:
What makes your warranty dissapear:
Root
Clockworkmod
Custom-Rom
Other Kernel
How to restore your warranty:
You can restore warranty easily, you have just to flash the stock-rom which was on your device when you bought it. If you not remember which stock-rom you had installed as first visit Sammobile and search for I9001. Download the stock-rom which is for your country, flash it with odin and you will have your warranty back
(For using the Search you have to Regist on Sammobile)
8. Deodex(ADVANCED):
What is Odex:
All apps are at the beginning odexed. Odex means that the apps are actually "packed". When the apps are odex it is more difficult to modify them.
What is Deodex:
Deodexing apps means that you are "unpacking" the apps. When you deodex your apps you will be able to modify them. A deodexed Rom belongs to basic because you will need it for installing a theme or other mods.
Deodexing your rom will not cause any disadvantages
How to Deodex:
Requierments:
Root
Busybox
Java SDK (Download is in the post #3)
USB-Debugging
xUltimate-v2.3.3 (Download is in the post #3)
Connect your phone with the usb-wire
Extract xUltimate-v2.3.3.zip
Start the "Test.exe"
Following must be in the command prompt:
adb = PASS!
odex = PASS!
zip = PASS!
busybox = PASS!
java = PASS!
temp = PASS!
deodex = SKIP!
redex = SKIP!
If something is different please do not deodex you phone because you will fail. If it all matches do following things:
Start the "Main.exe"
Press "1"
When it is finished press please "2"
Enter the folder "origi_app" and delete following files:
Maps.apk
Maps.odex
Phonesky.apk
Phonesky.odex
PlusOne.apk
PlusOne.odex
Enter again xUltimate-v2.3.3 and press please "3"
When it is finished press please "4"
After it is finished start the Deodex.bat (big thanks to nikagl for the commands)
After the automated reboot your phone should be successful deodexed
To check if youre phone is deodexed just run again the "Test.exe" and under the point "deodex" should be "PASS!" or under the point "odex" should be "FAIL!"

How To Connect both Storages at the same time on pc with CM9:
Original Post
So found an other solution where people were complainig off!
First big thanks to Campi1995 who tested it as well
So the problem was following:
people were not able to connect two storages at the same time with their computer and I found an interesting app in the market, it is called Multi Mount Sd-card
For mounting both storages do follwing things:
Install Multi Mount Sd-card
Add the Widget off the app on any homescreen (in the app drawer, you can add widget)
Connect your phone with the usb-wire
Click once at the widget (it should get green)
and BUUUUFF both is connected to the pc
Remember the pay app is better, but the free one works as well.

Hm.. don't you need exactly the same ROM version of what your phone was before flashing or what your carrier offered you with KIES?

some people buy their phone as sim unlocked (not carrier related) , and those are usually shipped with one of the stock roms available on sammobile . for the rest of us who got their phone with carrier bloatware, we need to have a backup of that stock rom.
as for this thread, although i support any help for people who are starting with android or are new to the device, but i pretty much don't see something that is not covered in the wiki. (not hating, just saying).
You enter STOCK RECOVERY by pressing vol up and power, and then MENU, not just vol up + power

I'm having this problem: after flashing a custom rom from sammobile I'n unable to update in KIES. The strange thing is that I get for example XXXKQ7/DBTKP2/XXKPK/ and then the last numbers are of the firmware that previous was on the phone. I think I am doing something wrong but I simply don't know what. Can anyone give me a sollution for this.

Acer Liquid Gallant Duo E350 (C8)
by Lucky76
(erlucky)
PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING ATTENTAMEMTE FOLLOWING LINES. Thank you.
ATTENTION as always for clarity and do not take any responsibility for any malfunctions BRICK or several of your Acer E350 Liquid Gallant Duo due to the use of the changes, files and guides that I have proposed here, then do these steps at your own risk danger, and I recommend you perform them only after being certain that you understand what you do and you understand the meaning and having read and re-read this post and the various guides that you will find.
Any operating errors could affect the use of your smartphone forcing you to send it in for repair in service.
Flashing is a dangerous action and should be done very carefully.
First custom rom for this new device of Acer with dual sim. I created this rom is a first base for those who want to try their hand at their own customizations and various modding. The changes made are few so this first custom rom stays true to the original graphics as well as to present the app with only the addition of two new (Quick Boot and NofrillCPU). Do not think in exceptional increases the performance of your device, the purpose is to be a base to start working. Of course, this custom rom is already including Root with SuperUser.
Being the first custom rom for this device and one of the few around these devices based mtk65xx I wanted to BETA version for any bugs that may arise.
In the following lines I will try to make a detailed guide to installing a custom rom.
TECHNICAL SECTION
Type Device: Acer Liquid Gallant Duo E350 (C8).
Base Rom Used: OS_Acer_E350_1.000.18 EMEA.FR_A40I_A ---> used files: system.img and boot.img taken from the downloaded zip file.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Pre Installation (Root, Recovery Mod and Advice)
A. Having the battery to 100%
B. Having a microSD almost 4 gb
C. Read and re-read again carefully review this guide and the guides for the root and recovery.
D. If you have not installed the SuperRecovery with Root passed through this Post and follow the step by step guide of ROOT. Then come back here and go to step E.
E. If you already have or you have just installed the SuperRecovery with Root continue with the installation of ClockworkMod 6.0.2.8 Beta 1 following the guidance found in this Post and then come back here and continue to drive through to step 2.
At this point, the first part is over and you will have your Gallant Duo with the permissions of the new Root and ClockworkMod Recovery installed.
2. Backup (System and Applications)
A. The market download a backup app like Titanium Backup (free) and take a backup of your applications that you have downloaded and installed earlier. Wipe carefully with you also lose all your sms and mms so if you do not want to lose save them with an app that you will surely find the Play Store.
B. Also from the market for those who have problems getting into Recovery with Vol + and Power download Quick Boot (Free).
C. Enter now in recovery using Quick Boot (if downloaded) Recovery choosing the menu for this app otherwise you have to turn off your device and enter the combination of the Vol + and Power.
D. Now you have to do a full backup system for restoring. Use the Volume keys go to the Backup and Restore menu and enter the Power Button.
E. In this sub menu drop down to the line "choose backup format" and confirm by pressing Power now get a line on the choice tar and confirm again with Power. You will set up the compression format. Tar.
F. Confirm that you see now on the first choice and that is "up" with the usual power button. Now just wait until the full backup! your Device (boot.img, recovery.img, System, Data and Cache).
G. Using the Volume keys go to the line + + + + + Go Back + + + + + and press Power.
H. Finally, again by pressing Power up line reboot system now to restart your device.
I. With the device turned on connect it to your PC using the USB cable and you will see the microSD ext (sdcard2) a new folder "ClockworkMod" for further safety advice to copy it to your PC. Else within the full backup of your system and then again get done just before a backup inside your PC.
Now the second point is finished so if you're still not convinced continue with the guide and go to step 3 to flash the custom rom.

Do the same with the next choice "wipe cache partion". You will have reported at this point your device to factory state as the first starting of the engine.
E. Finally you are ready to flash your custom rom going on line "install zip from sdcard" and confirm by pressing Power.
F. Again confirmed on the first choice "choose zip from sdcard" with Power.
G. Now you have to choose the file you want to install name_custom_rom.zip. For my custom rom LiquiDuos.zip confirming with the usual Power button.

I. Wait until the installation is finished.
L. Restart your device confirming the line reboot system now.

HI all,
I saw the need of reposting my post #282 (main ZOPO ZP999 thread) for people who want to root, flash recovery or for some reason lost control of their precious Zopo and want to regain it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have noticed that the link sometimes is unavailable : Mod edit sales link removed
Therefore i post it here again : also THANKS TO JASPER===JG77 and Ghost45
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what you have to do:
- Preferably use a Windows 7 (x32 or x64) system
- Download and install drivers http://www.4shared.com/rar/f0a9TeP8ba/Zopo_ZP999-3X_32-64bit.html
- Download the firmware and extract it (a stock ROM) http://www.zopomobileshop.com/content/9-download-zopo-mobile-latest-rom
- Download a recovery (I used CarlivTouch) http://www.4shared.com/file/xKa5nYyuce/recovery_CarlivTouch_30_ZP999.html
- Download SP Flashtool and extract http://www.4shared.com/zip/FlMUfELsba/SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v514.html
- Download SuperSu https://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip
- Boot your phone and connect to your PC and copy the SuperSu zip to your SD (I used a micro SDcard and not phone storage)
- Disconnect and shutdown the phone
- Start SP Flashtool (as administrator)
- Click 'Scatter-Loading' and select the 'MT6595_Android_Scatter.txt' from the downloaded Firmware! Picture 1
- Remove all selections except (!) recovery
- Click on the location of the recovery
- Select the custom downloaded recovery file (in my case recovery_CarlivTouch_30_ZP999.img) Picture 2
- Remove the battery from your phone (DON'T CONNECT YET) (battery pull :not necessary i think...but does not harm )
- Make sure you see 'Download Only' in SP Flashtool and click the 'Download' button
- Now connect your phone to your computer and leave the battery out of it!
- Wait till you see a green sign Picture 3
- Disconnect your phone but the battery back in but (!) DON'T BOOT
- Connect the phone to a charger and wait till it shows the battery level
- Press the buttons Volume-Up and Power and hold them
- After the first Zopo screen release Power (I kept holding Volume-Up)
- If all is well you now see the custom recovery! (you can let go of the volume button ) (if it didn't work the first time because of wrong timing, just shut down again and retry)
- Immediately install the SuperSU ZIP file (install zip-> Choose zip from /storgage/sdcard1)
- When done choose reboot and if you get questions about fixing to keep the custom recovery and fix root, say YES
- Let it boot into Android and Check ROOT with f.e. rootchecker
- Go to Google Play Store and install Busybox (not necessary)
- Start Busybox and make sure you give it Root right (not necessary)
- Press Install, if it fails the first time do it a second time. You should see an OK message if all is well. (not necessary)
- Reboot your phone, and PRESTO, your phone is rooted.
If you would install MobileUncle Tools from Google Play Store you can see you are rooted. (Here you allways can go in recovery without any problems)
Thanksbutton appreciated
