I am a still learning and not a developer !
Hi All ZOPO ZP900 Leader Owners,
This is a guide for Installing Clock Work Mod Recovery Image on ZOPO ZP900 Leader Phone. Most of the owners of this fantastic phone would have desperately tried like me to install CWM on this phone (some may have found success). ZOPO does gives an option to order the phone pre-rooted however they do not install CWM ....or for that matter there is no Stock Recovery on the phone !!!. Start the phone with Power + Volume Up button pressed and your presented with an image of sick Android lying down with a Red triangle coming out of his opened stomach :laugh:
DONT TRY TO USE ROM MANAGER APP TO INSTALL CWM, THIS WILL ONLY BRICK YOUR PHONE !
So after breaking my head for couple of days, searching the net, downloading stuff I have successfully installed CWM !
So here are the steps !.
What you need
1. ZOPO ZP900 Leader phone
2. Download Fully working English CWM from here http://www.4shared.com/file/16vuWyiU/recovery.html. The one posted in Zopo website does not work.
3. Download latest SP Flash Tool for MTK6577 from here http://www.4shared.com/zip/Xgc3G_hB/SP_Flash_Tool_v3122200.html
4. Download the latest Stock ICS ROM for ZP900 from Zopo website link http://www.4shared.com/rar/hGY2ahbu/MP_MT77_root_en_play_fix_zp900.html
5. Download MTK6577 Driver from Zopo website http://www.4shared.com/zip/YXlLFoLm/6577driver_install_3_steps.html
Installation Steps
1. Unzip and Install the USB drivers on your Windows PC using the MTK 6577 Driver Zip file. There will be 3 folders named First Step, Second Step & Third Step. Open First Step install the MTK driver MSI file. Post completion open Second Step, click on ClickInstall Driver, it will automatically install the USB driver. Press Exit after installation (Win 7 may give error that installation was incorrect, just ignore)
Repeat the same for folder Third Step
Connect your phone switched off and battery removed using USB cable. Windows will recognize and install the MTK drivers for your phone (any free COM ports) will be configured. Disconnect the phone. Put the battery back but do not switch on the phone
2.Extract the latest ROM folder from downloaded ICS ROM. You will get 2 folders
database
MP_MT77_h958_zp900_zwx_ics_20120912-155136_TSZ_PC
Open the second folder (MP_MT77***). This is the folder that has all the image files. You will find recovery.img file. This is original file. You can either rename it or keep a back up and delete it.
3. Copy the new CWM recovery.img file that you downloaded from ZOPO website in this folder. Rename it to be recovery.img
4. Extract and run SP flash Tool.exe (the one with Blue image icon)
5.Click on Options, USB Mode will be checked, DA Download All will be checked, in the sub options Speed will be Checked High Speed, Battery select With Battery. Come to the main Application window
6. Click on Scatter-loading button which is on the right side below Downloading Agent. A window will open. Browse to your extracted ICS ROM folder, click on folder MP_MT77****. By default you will have only one map file of name MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc. Select this
7. The flash tool will populate the Map file on the application window. You will see multiple Entries such as
PRELOADER
DSP_BL
MBR
etc etc. Each will have a check box which is by default checked.
8. UNCHECK all entries EXCEPT FOR "RECOVERY". Leave Recovery checked.
9. Now click on "Download" on the Application or press F9 on keyboard. A warning message will pop up. Press YES
10. You will see in the status bar below "Searching"
11. Connect your phone (switched off and with battery inserted) via the USB cable.
12. Flash tool will do its stuff. First a red progress bar, then a count down, a quick yellow progress bar and final window showing Green Circle.
If you get this the Congrats You have flashed CWM !
Check by unplugging the phone and re-starting it with Power+Volume Up button Pressed. The Phone will boot into CWM !.
Enjoy !
Warning - Please follow the instructions. Don't mess around with anything else. Not responsible if you do anything else and brick your device !
In case you get any other error on SP Flash Tool, then recheck your MTK driver installation. Try on another PC.
Now I hope this opens the door for many other things !
Additional Info -
Install PDAnet from here http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php or Snappea from www.snappea.com to make your device get recognized when connected to the computer. Install this with your phone switched on, this software installs the necessary drivers for the phone, post which you can use flash tool.

The CWM from taiwan101 for the 9300+ seems to be working fine. I was able to install .zip file from SD card. However the CWM is in Taiwanese, so if anyone can provide the CWM in English, thanks in advance
link for 9300+ CWM http://d01.megashares.com/dl/KicT315...M_Recovery.rar
UPDATE - Finally got a full working English CWM for ZOPO extracted from Mod ROM posted thanks to Kyrie1965. Tested and everything is working. Download from here http://www.4shared.com/file/16vuWyiU/recovery.html

CWM as such works (able to navigate through the menus etc) but some of the function such as Install from ZIP, Backup etc, mount are not working, Gives an error Unable to Mount Sdcard !. Not sure if the issue is with CWM version supplied by ZOPO, need to try with other/older versions of CWM.
Please feel free to post links of CWM that works

Check your device drivers USB driver has not been installed properly. I faced this issue and after multiple attempts of reinstall of USB drivers the flash tool started working properly
Also you can try installing PDAnet from here http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php
Install this with your phone switched on, this software installs the necessary drivers for the phone, post which you can use flash tool.
Note Connect the phone to flash tool first without battery, in options select with battery, press download after selecting the required file, when it says searching unplug the phone put battery back, dont switch on, plus back the usb. The flash tool should load the required file.

It will flash the entire ROM again. My guide was specifically for flashing only the CWM and not the entire ROM. I wanted to keep the Stock rom intact as it came from ZOPO.
Word of caution, I am yet top try flashing the complete ROM so if you are trying ensure that your have taken a backup via CWM (if already flashed) of your existing full working ROM before attempting anything. Also flash only ZOPO Stock or customised ROMs,

From where did you bought this mobile?
Does the imei start from 355,889,3535
Is it ips 1gb ram .

Driver is mising for MT65xx preloader ... any clue where this driver can be found?

The drivers you can download via the program pdanet:

When the program asks to replace some existing drivers, you should do that.

I just was successful in installing the driver for MT65xx Preloader (had to manually install it during the flashing exclamation mark).
When I now connect the phone without battery, I have no more exclamation marks.
Now, when I start the flash tool and connect my device without battery I get every time a different error and a window that pops-up with some (vague) explanation. Also the bottom bar of the flash tool becomes red.
It does not look good to me and I have to dive into more details to see what I should do.
In the device manager I do not have further exlamation marks ....to be continued.
So, it seems I am now on the same level as you are.

Thats right.
I think that this error means that we have to mark all files on the list but we don't have these files on the computer. I read some hint on similar tutorial (with only recovery checked on the list)
"Please note that, even though it isn't mandatory to select it on the list of images to flash, preloader file must be present in the same folder as the other partition(s) that you want to flash, or else phone will not be able to enter into download mode."

Preamble: DO A BACKUP OF boot.img and recovery.img BEFORE MODIFYING ANYTHING!
-if you are not familar with SP Flash Tool, please google for a full guide regarding this theme: "How to Root JiaYu G3 + working Recovery mode"
the easyest way to install the needed drivers ist to install the app pdanet: h t t p:// junefabrics.com/android/
if some drivers are missing you can find also drivers in the zip files
I attached 2 zip files.
1.) use the files in root.zip with SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1222.00 to flash patched root and recovery with working cwm (english language, searched a while for that)
2.) file root.zip is meant for rooting with cwm (use only if flashing files from 1. does not the complete job)
hint: I struggled a bit on connecting the pone: press power and volume up and plug USB in was only working with attached battery
cheers and sorry for my bad english....

hi, do you know how to upload to phone another language (czech language)? or link to another custom rom. I fail to find anything. Thanks a lot

Just one question: if there is something goes wrong, how can I restore previous situation?
Thanks

Please google for "How to Root JiaYu G3 + working Recovery mode"
to get a full description of backing up boot.img and recovery.img
if youve done this right you should have a backup of your boot and recovery partitions which can be stored back if a fault occours.
the partitions should be the following (please re-check with your device):
boot: F88000 - 1588000 = length of 600000
recovery: 1588000 - 1B88000 = length of 600000
good luck

May be not workable with GB. I think, it's only for ICS. But you can try. By the way, you tried SuperOneClick root, Unlock Root?

I get it. Your device's bootloader is locked. So you need to flash custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, then root your phone. Try to find custom recovery for your device.

Hello! look at the phone has recovery by pressing power and volume, leave these options (muy similar al del samsung ace):
Recovery:
1 - Reboot system now
2 - apply update from sdcard
3 - wipe data / factory reset
4 - wipe cache partition
5 - backup user data
6 - restore user data
is that what you mean? thanks :crying:

Nope. That is stock recovery. You need to use custom recovery. But you've a recovery at least, try to flash SuperSU binary files with that, can be worked.
Download this .zips, place them to your sd card (not in any folder) and flash them from recovery with "Apply update zip from SD card" option.

As far as I know. It's risk free. If it'll work, then work. If not, then not. No damage can't be done like bricking.

Here is the complete guide for rooting Symphony W60. It'll work on any MT6575 device. Tested by me on Windows 7.
Instructions:
1. First you need to download & install MT6575's driver on your PC. For this, install & run this app.
2. Now download & extract this package on your computer.
3. Connect your phone to PC with USB debugging option (Media Mode) enabled (Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging > Enable).
4. Now click on "TPSparkyRoot.bat" from your extracted folder.
5. And then follow the on-screen instructions.
Tips: It'll reboot your device three times. After every single reboot, you need to wait until your device fully loaded again and connected to your PC automatically. After then you follow the programme instructions.
After last reboot, your phone will be successfully rooted. You'll get busybox installed, superuser access and you can do whatever you want to do like link2sd, reverse tethering etc..

I found custom recovery from here:

I think it is in Chinese, I have not installed it yet.
Does anyone knows that is it possible to build new recovery by using http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ and does it change the language to English?
I tried that tool by using Chinese recovery.img. It created new recovery.img successfully without any errors, but I have not tried it yet. Is it safe to use? I used builder just with recovery.img but without recovery.fstab because I wasn't able to find it.
What if the device fails to boot? I do have original firmware on .zip file, but not sure is it possible to boot and install original firmware from SD card.

ZTE stock recovery is actually in english !!!!

My bad didnt check beforehand, it seems the stock recovery mode on the zte v985 is actually in english which allows to flash roms from zip files placed on the root directory of the micro sd card.
To enter ZTE Recovery Mode do as follows: Firstly power off device then Hold down volume down key and then hold down power key, when the zte logo appears on screen let go of the power key but still keep the volume down key held you will enter zte recovery mode which will allow you to wipe data, update from micro sd card etc.
Hope this helps.

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3921007642&uk=3945654451
How to do 4.1 update. Remember to backup first!:
1. Download V985_update_4.1.2.7z upgrade package file and unzip the file. Under the folders there's update.zip.
2. Copy update.zip to the external SD card root directory
3. Enter the "Settings" -> "System Software Updates" -> "Storage card upgrade." and uncheck "retain user data upgrade". If this is checked, it will cause some issues and the phone might not boot.
4.Click the OK button to upgrade. Upgrade process starts automatically after a few seconds.

How to root ZTE V985 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
Hi, it seems that ZTE has brought a new android version to the V985 called 222200B1329ZTE V985V1.0.0B04.
I have a V985 with android 4.0.4 version B03 installed, rooted and equipped with Gapps. I can only upgrade into stock which removes my root and Gapps.
Can anyone tell me how to root the V985V1.0.0B04 android 4.1.2 version?
Thanks

I was able to compile and run fully working clockworkmode recovery from CM10.1 stream,
I was also able to compile and port CM10.1 to this device. Currently thinking if we could port CM10.2 to this device.

Phone won't start!
I have installed 4.1.2 update on my v985, but it was draining my battery very fast, i tried to install back to B04, but it was not working, i couldn't install. Then i tried to install Clockwork Recovery and now phone won't start, iz just turns on ZTE logo and stops!
Help please!! Is there anyway to unbrick my phone?

Phone is something like read only
I have a v985. I received it rooted, but a lot of message was in Chinese an it did not download my contacts from gmail.
I've flashed all ROMs that I found, finaly I'm stuck in "enterprise_V985_signed_101613_1017.zip".
Google play does not start. It just flashes up.
I have a Chinese application search app, where I can install apps. It seems to be installed, but the app is nowhere.
I can boot into recovery, but I can't wipe or format at all. Nothing.
I can run "install zip", it loads the zip, the commands are started, it writes that it is OK, but does not change the phone at all.
The strand that I can make photo, it is saved, I can copy files to phone and to sd card...
What can be the problem?

hello there! It seems to be quiet here, did someone solve the problem? I have also this zte version, all things is working correctly except the battery, the current rom is ics 4.0.4 v985v1.0.0B03, the android system consumes itself about 50% of battery everyday even when the phone is in standby, I would like replace the kernel with a new one, if someone has some ideas I'm very interested. :good:

[Guide] Install Custom Recovery for Blu Advance 5.0 D030UX

Before we start this post, I just wanted to say that I am new here (like today new) and XDA does not have this device listed in their website at all so I did not know where else to post this rather than the General Discussion, I do apologize for this annoyance and please forgive me. One last thing, I am not the developer of this, I am only the poster person........guy...... ;-; ....... the person who developed this custom recovery is @lopestom!! Please give him the credit he derserves, not me!! With this being said, let us move onto the post now!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE NOR IS THE DEVELOPER FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE!!*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings XDA Community and Blu Users!
Today I am Sharing this Custom Recovery that was made by @lopestom for the Blu Advance 5.0
Now before we get into this you will need to do the following first for the recovery to install.
You will need to install the MTK VCOM Drivers and the SP Flash Tool.
-How to install MTK VCOM Drivers for Windows 8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693906
-How to install MTK VCOM Drivers for Windows 10 64-bit/32-bit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-m2/help/windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-32-64-t3267033

A. Make sure 'Download Only' is selected
B. Only Recovery Partition box is checked
C. Make sure correct scatter is loaded
4. Double click in 'Location' field next to recovery partition and select recovery.img
5. Click "Download" Button
6. Power off phone
7. With "Download" button clicked in SPFT, connect phone to USB without powering on (VCOM DRIVERS MUST BE INSTALLED FOR THIS TO WORK)
8. Wait for SPFT to flash, popup with green check-mark will display when complete
9. Disconnect phone from USB, hold power + volume-up keys until boot into TWRP Recovery
10. Done!
11. You have successfully installed this custom recovery for your Blu Advance 5.0!!
As a perk, you can now root your device if you have not already with Super Su: https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip?retrieve_file=1

When is TWRP installed?
Sorry, as a noob, I have no idea at what point TWRP needs to be installed, if at all. Andvance 5.0 isn't on the list in the official TWRP app, so installling that from Google Play Store doesn't help. Do I get blutwrp.img -and how do I install it? Do I flash twrp, too, or install it another way ? Should twrp come up automatically here? I'm totally confused with this guide.

This post looks pretty new. So I thought I'd drop by just in case you never figured out how to install TWRP. At the bottom of the guide there is this:

That download URL is TWRP. If I were to guess, the download is an unofficial port of TWRP. Since TWRP doesn't have an official build for BLU Advance 5.0, you have to use the file provided by OP (I am not aware of any other unofficial ports of TWRP specifically for BLU Advance 5.0).
It has been a while since I rooted the BLU Advance 5.0 for my friend, but I believe it is not possible to directly flash a custom recovery onto the device. That's why you need to install SPFT which was also generously provided by OP:

After you have installed the proper drivers for your computer and SPFT, you are all set to follow the steps OP provided. Any instance where it says "zip file" he is referring to the zip file you should have downloaded from androidfilehost.com (first link I quoted from OP).
As long as you know that, here are the steps 1 - 11 you should follow:

I may be misreading this sentence, but incase I am not, I'll explain. The primary reason people install a custom recovery is so they can root their phones. In the case of BLU Advance 5.0, that phone only has an internal storage of 4GB, which I have recently learned is apparently taken up entirely by Messenger itself (if you download Facebook Messenger). What's the point of having a smartphone if you can't install apps on it? There is an app called Link2SD which can trick the phone into believing the external SD card space is internal (more or less). Link2SD needs root though.
After installing TWRP, now is when you can flash things the way I imagine you're moderately familiar with from your comment. The only thing you should need to flash via this method should be SuperSU, to give you the root privilege necessary for Link2SD. OP has also provided this:

If you followed all the steps properly, you should be able to power down your device, and boot into TWRP by holding the Power and Volume Up buttons until you see the white BLU boot screen. From there, you can flash SuperSU.
Hope this helped clear some things up for you!

While this helps, I've been doing this for months now... And now I am faced with the problem of the new OTA they just gave me, which blocks any and all root access that I had before. Now my problem is figuring out if I need to re-flash the previous version to my firmware or unlock the bootloader and just install a custom ROM, given that a universal ROM is compatible.

A way to unbrick?
So, I have one and bricked it when flashing a recovery I found when I searched blue advance 5.0 custom recovery on google
when I searched, I used the one I found at the blueroms dot info site
it is now in a boot loop, and I can't access anything except the menu between booting factory mode and recovery
is there a way I can fix it, and flash this?

Thanks!
Thanks for not only the instructions, but for accepting the possibility that I may have figured it out myself.
As a regular linux user, I'm not sure why the xda comunity depends on: SP Flash Tool, MTK VCOM Drivers for Windows and MTK VCOM Drivers for Windows 10 64-bit/32-bit. Especially at this point shouldn't there be some tools from Chrome OS? if not Linux itself? Sorry that's kind of off point, but your help is indeed appreciated.

Trying to Root
Hello everyone, I have been desperately trying to root a Blu Advance 5.0 HD that i just got. It runs Android Version 6.0 Kernal 3.18.19 Custom build BLU_A050U_V04_GENERIC 19-09-2016\
So The farthest i got was clicking download and plugging in the phone. It gives me an error and suggests i Format+download. Doing that semi bricks my phone and i have to flash a oem firmware. I even tried using the oem files and just replacing the recovery which did the trick in making it run, but did not install twrp. What am i doing wrong, Id rather not return the phone but i may if i cannot root it.
Thanks anyone who can assist me!

Nothing happened
Greetings,
I was able to install drivers on the PC and flash the recovery through SPFT and directly from fastboot but it didn't work. Although both methods gave me OK, when I boot into recovery I still get the stock recovery 3e version of the BLU. So, is there something that I'm missing?
