Since there isn't much information (in English) about how to upgrade the Zopo ZP100 phone to ICS I've now done it myself (after reading a lot of Russian forums using Google Translate I finally took the plunge into the deep end of the pool and just did it).
Files needed
ICS ROM (b79):
http://narod.ru/disk/48456521001.ee...T75_h932_b79_pulid_sw 20120428-14151.rar.html
Root:
http://files.dangerd.org/pub/ZP100//zopo zp100 4.0ROOT by008.rar
Flashtool:
http://narod.ru/disk/44888871001.ee...6c3e795/SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1206.01.zip.html
USB Drivers (and a flashtool I didn't use):
http://chinamobiles.org/downloads/zap/ZP100fix.zip
CWM Recovery:
http://files.dangerd.org/pub/ZP100//recovery.img
First of all: Make a note of your IMEI-number(s)
Download the files and unpack all (in seperate folders).
Shutdown the phone and plug it in via USB, Windows will search for a driver which you find in the package ZP100fix.zip (different inf-files depending on windows version).
Unplug phone, remove the battery.
Replace the recovery.img from the ICS ROM with the one downloaded seperately.
Start flashutil.
Load Scatter-file: MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc2.txt
Make sure that Options -> USB Mode is selected.
Click Download
Connect phone (still with no battery, at least I had to leave it out).
Flashing begins.
When all is done it displays an "OK window".
Now reboot the phone and when booted connect to USB again and run Root.bat from the package: zopo zp100 4.0root by008"
Follow on-screen instructions.
I did not need to install any separate Google Apps, it was included in the ROM.
Now you need to add some IMEI-numbers to your phone.
In the original ROM I could only ever see one IMEI for my zp100, so I wrote that down.
IMEI2 I took from an old Nokia I hadn't used for a few years.
Use terminal app or adb shell or whatever to execute the following (replace IMEI_1 and IMEI_2 with your IMEI's):
echo 'AT + EGMR = 1,7, "IMEI_1"'> /dev/pttycmd1
echo 'AT + EGMR = 1,10, "IMEI_2"'> /dev/pttycmd1
Update: Zopo IMEI Tool in English can be downloaded from here: http://depositfiles.com/files/wi41lcuvb (should eliminate the need for the terminal-hack above). If the system language on your phone isn't set to English the utility will be displayed in Chinese by default, so setup your phone to use English before running it.
If you want your external sdcard mounted as /sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) instead of /mnt/sdcard2 you have to replace the /etc/vold.fstab with the following:
http://www.cactuz.net/files/zp100/vold.fstab
Use root-explorer (make a backup of the old one) to replace it, then shutdown your phone and remove the battery, then plug it all back in and start again and your external sdcard shoudl be mounted on /sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) instead.
Hope this helps.
I'll report back here with any bugs etc.
To use RecoveryMod I have to chose it from the menu in MobileUncle Tools or ClockWorkMod Rom Manager, I have not been able to boot to CWM using VolUp+Power.
Some of my favorite apps can't be downloaded from Google Play Market:
Vignette
Endomondo Pro
Snowstorm Weather Widget
GPS Status
I have been able to restore them all using MyBackup Pro and they are running fine, they just aren't compatible according to Play Market.
So any app you really need is good to make a backup of using MyBackup (or Titanium or any other backup app of your choice) so you can restore it if it can't be installed using market after the ICS upgrade.
Note that all these apps can be installed fine on my other devices using ICS (HTC Desire with CM9 and Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 with CM9 or AOKP) so it's this ROM that is the issue AFAIK.
Thank you ... I'll follow up in a couple weeks
Ordered my zopo yesterday (for the second time -- waited 2 weeks from the first store (merimobiles) and then cancelled when they still hadn't shipped it. Hopefully I'll have better luck this time.)
I appreciate you posting this info and will try it out when I get the phone.
Good luck Dave,
I ordered mine from etotalk.com, got it in about a week with DHL used for shipping.
I've updated the first post with some more info in regards to RecoveryMod and mounting external SDcard as /mnt/sdcard (/sdcard).
Since I use this phone daily I will probably not experiment much with it until any new official release is available. But the current one (b79) is good enough.
There are quite a lot of crappy chinese apps (crappy since I don't know what they do and they aren't translated into a language I can understand) installed with this ROM bit they can all be removed using the normal App-menu in the system settings.
imei no.
hello, u said that u have write the imei no. of old nokia phone which u don't use. i want to know that can i also change both the imei no. as i m from india and in india only valid imei no. works, and i m planning to purchase this phone but i am afraid that if the imei no. are not according to india then it will not work so i just wanted to know that if i write my old dual sim phone imei to zopo zp100, will it work without any problem.
rohit: I can't say for sure if the phone actually reports two IMEI's to the service provider, but at least it displays two IMEI's when I check "About phone" in the sytem settings.
Sorry I can't say if it works or not in India.
hello
hyy , i have ihtc one x aka b79 , followed your procedure it works gr8. but i am facing a problem with usb mass storage and am not able to lock into gps any possibilities to fix this error? and does anyone has an access to orignal android 2.3.4 rom for b79 , to restore to previous bug free state?

ZP100 and ICS upgrade experiences
Hi Guys,
I bought the ZP100 1,5 weeks ago from etotalk.com.
After 1 week i tried to upgrade to ICS about this and Colonel ZAP's description.
My experiences with the ICS upgrade:
When i received the phone, on that was etotalk v1.0 firmware.
It is a very good customized rooted ROM, works fast and it has just some minor bugs.
The only problem was, it could only read the internal storage, when i insert an external SD card. It was strange, but i accept it programming defects.
I downloaded the official 2.3.6 and this B79 ICS, VCOM (Flash) drivers and the flash program.
At first, i downloaded the ClockWorkMod Recovery for chinese phones.
Unfortunately it is make a factory reset on the phone, but after you customize it, you can make full backup about your ROM.
IMPORTANT! Copy the backup to your computer, because the ICS ROM formatted my external SD
This is very recommended, because...
At first i installed the linked B79 ICS ROM.
The default language is chinese, but it contains english, so if you know the android, it is not a challenge to change it. It couldn't read the internal memory neither, just after format it.
It wasn't rooted, and deleted IMEI. When i tried to root (different way as 2.3.6, need USB debug mode and ADB) the Windows doesn't recognize the ADB driver. The driver wasn't in Android SDK, and i can't download it (i haven't tried it on Linux yet). For a moment Windows showed it found HTC Dream device. I downloaded HTC drivers, but it didn't work with it neither.
Without this you can't restore the IMEI.
Ok, go back to the official 2.3.6.
I flashed it back. Almost the same effects. Default chinese language, the internal memory cannot readable. I could root it and install CWM recovery back.
Basically it doesn't contains Play store, but you can install it.
The ROM full of chinese programmes and my experience was it is very unstable.
I uninstalled the chinese programmes, and installed Play store. When i wanted make a call, the phone restarts. The Google Play Store froze every time.
Finally i restore back the etotalk ROM, and i use it.
Maybe if i have time/mood i will install the official ICS, but about my experiences i have doubts with it.
p.s.: in about 30C outside temperature i used the phone (installing programmes). After 10 minutes using it sings that the battery is too hot, remove it from the phone.
Is any other better quality battery what is compatible with this phone? thanks

Hi jbctiong,
I used CWM recovery 5.5.0.4.
Just carefully, because it make a full factory reset.
And you need to insert an external SD card

@vzzoli
Thanks for your experiences
What is the ClockWorkMod Recovery for chinese phones.
WHy you needed it ?
Now we can download the 4.0 official
Somebody try it ?
hello carabaothai,
I used it for backup/restore my ROM.
But you can use nandroid backup too.
Sorry for my abscence from this thread, I've been busy all weekend actually tuning a car instead of my phone
buntybauva: I've got no problems with USB Mass Storage, could you explain what problems you experience?
I made a nandroid backup of the old ROM, but I haven't used it so don't actually know if it works.
rohit: I ordered mine from etotalk.com
carabaothai:I forgot to mention that the ICS-rom I linked to (and flashed myself) is in Chinese as default, but can be changed to English using the System Settings, luckily there are icons in there so you can find the symbol for language (hint for anyone who doesn't know: It's an "A").
ICS = Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)
I have not experienced problems with loosing network on the SIM cards.
jbctiong: I had not tried any nandroid backup/recovery yet, tested right now and it doesn't seem to be able to actually do any backup. Some mount errors for sdcard.
vzzoli: Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I agree that the etotalk-ROM is quite good, but I always want the latest stuff on my gadgets
I have not had any issues with reading my sdcard nor in etotalk-rom or in the later ICS-rom.
The ICS rom did not format my external SD. But one should always make a backup of course (I backup my SDcard before every flash I try).
One bug I found in the current ROM is that the Cam/Videocam-switch on the phone doesn't make any difference what position it's in.
I'm going to see what the russian forum says about the official release, I'm quite happy with the one I'm currently running so no real need to change, but there could be performance reasons to change or maybe something else.
I downloaded to the "official" ROM and updated my phone
I think this is the same ROM as B79, just renamed the version.
Remove the IMEI, not rooted, other MTP driver needed etc.
@cactuz:
What operating system did you use for root the phone?
I'm using Windows, and the new official ICS ROM wants different ADB drivers than the 2.3.6.
Without this, i can't root it, and restore IMEI.
Buntybauva's mass storage problem maybe that the Windows recognize the ICS phone as media device, but can't mount as usb mass storage without a third party program
vzzoli: I used Win7 32bit when I rooted the phone, used the scripts supplied in one of the links in my initial post.
When I restored the IMEI I used Linux since that is my prefered choice whenever using ADB.
I can't check right now what version because I've apparently forgot my VPN-password so I can't connect to my computer at work
Does the camera-switch work for changing between Camera and VideoCam on the new official rom?
hyy
after ics upgrade is anyone facing problem with gps lock?
buntybauva: Not worse than before, the GPS was terrible for me before as well as after (but I do get a fix after quite some time). Though some of the guys on the russian forum has modified the antenna as far as I know.
Maybe DangerD could help us out because I think he has been involved in it.

I built from source a CWM Recovery, version 6.0.4.4 adapted by me to build in cm-10.1 environment, for ZTE V967S phone. I have to say Thank you to C3C076 for his help. He was kind to help me to figure out how to tweak building source for recovery, to obtain a compatible recovery. So, you should thank him, or even better to donate to him if you can. Now I improved the MTK compatibility, I fixed restore old recovery issue.
The CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery can be downloaded from downloads section. If you care enough, and you like what I did, after download just hit the Thanks button. If you use it or port it and ask other to hit Thanks for you, do the same here to show respect for my work.It is fully functional: it works for flash zip, to wipe, mount (both internal and external sdcard), backup, restore, format to factory from phone settings menu, apply updates from stock ROM, etc.If you share my compiled recovery on other sites or forums, please give proper credits for it!
CREDITS and THANKS
C3C076 for his help on tweaking recovery source.
bgcngm for his wonderful tool for unpacking and repacking img.
rua1 for MTK Droid Root & Tools.
dsixda for his Android Kitchen.
Cyanogenmod Team for their wonderful project.
Koushik for creating Clockworkmod Recovery and for constant improvement of it.
-- You really should thank to all of these guys or if you can to donate to them, because without their hard and fine work, we couldn't enjoy our phones as we should.
If you choose to use these, you are doing that on your own risk, and I can not be held responsible for any damage you made to your phone.
1. SPFlashTool backup ROM
A SPFlashTool prepared backup from last stock version 1.0.0 - 27.08.2013 for NonChina Market, if you need to unbrick your phone, or if you want to revert to stock. This version has English as default, and also include Chinese and Russian. It has root and custom CWM, otherwise is untouched. You have to flash this one with SPFlashTools. The scatter file is included.
3. A version prepared from last LewaOS v5 - only English - LewaMax v2.
Rooted, optimized, gapps included. The ROM will not change your recovery.
INSTALL INSTRUCTION:
Many people have problems with force closed processes because they don't flash a new ROM properly.
- In recovery, mount USB Mass storage and delete from sdcard these folders:
.android_secure
Android
LOSTDIR
- then back in recovery do a wipe all data/factory reset in CWM or Pre-Flash wipe in COT
- in CWM in advanced menu wipe Dalvik cache / in COT in storage management menu wipe Dalvik cache
- Now flash the ROM zip.
ATTENTION:
For extending data partition please refer to this source. It's better than my previous modd and I think it's safer. Thank you meteos.But, I recommend you to use top 2.5 Gb data partition size, and let remaining 237 Mb for sdcard failure situations.
Here you will find MTKDroidTools of rua1's.

1. A SPFlashTool prepared backup from last stock version 1.0.5, if you need to unbrick your phone, or if you want to revert to stock. It has only root, otherwise is untouched. I removed from that the preloader, since is a high risk to damage your phone using that. But if someone need it I will send him private. You have to flash this one with SPFlashTools. The scatter file is included.
2. An optimized ROM, prepared from 1.0.5 stock version, ZTE V967S ROM Max Flavour v-2. Slimed, odexed (about 60Mb apps on data usage), zipaligned, busybox, debloated, multilingual (sort of), and some other things. I replaced the Launcher with SOLOLauncher because is lighter (only 5-6 Mb instead of 20) and have more features. I've tested it and it works flawless. You should flash it with CWM Recovery.
3. Will come a version prepared from last LewaOS v5 for MIUI fans.

Hi Carliv, thank you very much for your rom. I am trying it and I am quite happy with that. I am only experiencing some problem with GPS: in some cases I was not able to switch on or switch off the GPS. Another thing that looks a little bit strange is that in YGPS -> Information the "chip version" is "UNKNOWN". With the sock ROM I am sure that the information about the chip version was displayed (MTK_GPS_.....). Have you the same issue?
Ciao.

No, I haven't any problem with GPS, and if you check GPS in YGPS with GPS switched ON it will show you chip version.
I don' understand where you can't swith on/off GPS: in quickpanel toggles, in settings locations... You don't say that. So, please, be more specific.
When I need GPS, I turn it ON, and it connects in about 3 sec. if I'm outside, or maybe 10 if I'm inside near a window.
Thanks for appreciations.
I'll try to help you if you give me more informations.
--------------------------later edit------------------
One other thing, I noticed that if you use scheduled power off/on, you have to manualy restart the phone after self turning on, because the WIFI and GPS doesn't work properly... I don't know why, and I think this is a bug in 1.0.5 version.
hello ,
thanks for your support in our phone ZTE V967S
i have bought the phone from minideal.net with 1.0.3 MULTILANGUAGE, rooted and google play store version and chinese CWM, but i want to install 1.0.5 version
and ENGLISH cwm. does your 1.0.5 version support full GREEK language?
how to install CWM Recovery 6.0.3.5??
you gave us the scatter file, the usb drivers for ZTE and the recover.img.
but HOW to use them? give us full details
As i can understand with SLIM version you do not have Google Play Store installed.
right?
i want to install SLIM version to have battery improvement but i am a little afraid if sth goes wrong (someone says that the GPS is not
working perfectly and maybe some important things are missing) what is your opinion for SLIM version in general? will i have a problem if i install SLIM
compared with FULL?
also i want the 5GB userdata partition.. how to manage that?
maybe i need first flash 2.5GB ZTE V967S P188F07 Max_v2
and then flash again Extend2_5GBUserData.zip

You're welcome!
Now, let's see:
1. No ROM is full multilanguage, except the case that all apps have multilanguage support. Otherwise, my version is as much multilanguage as minideal version from what I've seen - I ported translations from a Lenovo P770 because is very much similar. You will have Greek just like in minideal version.
We can try togheter to make a better translation if other users want that; I can post here archives with xml files that have to be translated, you make translations, post here back and I could integrate them in a ROM. That way we can translate even SystemUI, which now isn't.
2. To install CWM the easy way is with SPFlashTools - all you need is the scatter and recovery.img. Of course, you have to install proper drivers before - you can find them in first post. How to use SPFlashTools I can't reproduce here because there are several guides on forum, here is one of them. Just one thing: if you find hard to enter the phone in bootloader, just remove the battery and connect the phone to computer without battery - it will enter in bootloader automate.
3. I don't have gapps in my phone SLIM ROM, but version posted to download has, because many of you use them - I don't. The GPS is working perfect for me, the only bug I found untill now, and don't think is related to my work, but to original release, is that if you use Scheduled power on & off, after phone starts from sleep you have to reboot manualy, otherwise Wifi and GPS won't work correctly. I hope they'll solve that in a next release like they did with camera flash. But, overall slim or full version shares the same drivers, modules and libraries, and only difference is in installed apps. The full version has stock launcher and weather, and live wallpapers, etc. The slim version don't have those things.
4. You can't use a 5GB userdata partition because the entire phone memory is 4GB. You can expand userdata to max. 2.7GB, but I provided a solution for 2.5, because in case o SDCard failure on mount/unmount or other event, the phone will use those 270 MB from internal storage to function properly until you fix sdcard, without losing data. There are some solutions to expand data partition on sdcard, but I didn't tried them and I can't say you how that works. My ROM with 2.5 GB support will repartition userdata for you during install, and when the phone boots up you will see internal storage 2.5 GB instead of 1GB.
Ok, That covers all your concerns. Thank you for appreciations.
1. for Greek Language i think i am ok... as i can understand you import multilanguage support from Lenovo P770. how minideal managed to have Multilanguage support for 1.0.3 ?
did they import from another phone too?
2. another solution to install English CWM recovery is with Mobileuncle MTK Tools. do you agree? but thanks for your help for SPFlashTools.
ZTE USB Driver.zip ,MT6589 drivers.zip, MT6589 USB VCOM drivers.7z. which of the 3 drivers to install in order my PC to recognize my
phone? how to enter CWM? what do i need to press?
3. i want to have your SLIM version but with Google Play Store installed. how can i do this?
Are we sure that the problem with WIFI and GPS not working correctly after phone starts from sleep (Scheduled power on & off) is a problem
of ORIGINAL version? maybe it is sth eith your rom.... can someone confirm that?
4. what is the purpose of Extend2_5GBUserData.zip ???
before i had Xperia Sole . because the internal available memory for installed apps and games was about 4 GB some people developed a
tool to swap the internal memory with the external SD card. in this way if someone has 16 GB external SD card he/she can install BIG games without capacity problems

2. another solution to install English CWM recovery is with Mobileuncle MTK Tools. do you agree? but thanks for your help for SPFlashTools.
ZTE USB Driver.zip ,MT6589 drivers.zip, MT6589 USB VCOM drivers.7z. which of the 3 drivers to install in order my PC to recognize my
phone? how to enter CWM? what do i need to press?
3. i want to have your SLIM version but with Google Play Store installed. how can i do this?
Are we sure that the problem with WIFI and GPS not working correctly after phone starts from sleep (Scheduled power on & off) is a problem
of ORIGINAL version? maybe it is sth eith your rom.... can someone confirm that?
4. what is the purpose of Extend2_5GBUserData.zip ???
before i had Xperia Sole . because the internal available memory for installed apps and games was about 4 GB some people developed a
tool to swap the internal memory with the external SD card. in this way if someone has 16 GB external SD card he/she can install BIG games without problems

I don't know how minideal got their translation, maybe they did it, it's not that hard, there are 4 files to translate to every language, and other 2 if you want SystemUI too, but you have to know a lot of foreign languages. That's the reason I said we can make a better translation, but everyone have to translate from English to his language.
Yes, you can install recovery with MobileUncle but you have to be rooted and to have MobileUncle installed. The way I presented works even for untouched stock ROM. Don't matter which order you install drivers. Install them all one by one, and connect phone in normal boot and wait for windows to install previous drivers for the new device, then connect phone in bootloader and wait again for windows to install necesary drivers.
The slim version posted here is with gapps included, you don't have to do anything for that - I thought I made myself clear. The version without gapps I kept it for me, I didn't share it. Most people want gapps and there was no reason to upload a version without them. No, I don't think that refresh for GPS and wifi has anything to do with my intervention, it's related to the way the phone enter to sleep and wake up, because is not completely shut down. My guess is that on wake up, not all modules are started properly, and that's the reason a phone restart solve the problem: when Android starts all modules are loaded correctly.
The purpose of Extend2_5GBUserData.zip is, as I said in that post, that people who don't want to install any of my ROM with 2.5GB support, to achieve an extended partition while they keep their ROM: minideal, stock original, or others not shared by me.
I know about that thing with extend to sdcard, but I didn't tried yet, and from what I've seen compiling recovery, for this phone you need to unpack, repack recovery.img and boot.img too, to modify fstab, not only that from etc folder. So, it's a little bit more complicated. Some people made some scripts for that for this kind of phones but for different cpu. I can't help you with this matter, because I'm not interested in it. For me 2.5GB of internal memory is more than enough.
LewaOS v5 is a different framework, more like MIUI, but with different launcher type. I did a debloated version, because LewaOS is mainly for China, and they have a lot of chinese apps. The people that download it they know what is. I used to like it, but now, the ZTE ROM, optimized please me more.
thanks for your help. I am really appreciate this. so if I want to extend my internal storage to 2,5 GB directly to minideal modded rom version I need to flash Extend2_5GBUserData.zip via CWM. right? there is no need to install first your modded version.
how to connect my phone in bootlader mode???
so you propose me to install lite version. I will give a try when my phone come to my hands!!!
one more question maybe not suitable for this thread but I wll ask you. do you know to propose me good screen protectors and slim caces for ZTE V967s? I heard that V987 quad uses the same protectors and caces with V967s. is it true?

Ok.
I don't use any screen protector. The screen is Gorilla Glass and you can't scratch it even if you want. Actually I can't find that info now, I've read that ZTE support answer that to a user. On official description is an IPS screen. But seems to be very hard. I've tested it with door key, really :good:
And the case... Mine came with some sillicone cheep case, I don't like it. I don't know if the case from v987 fits, because I know that v987 is 0.7mm thinner.
so you have this phone and you bought it from minideal.net. right?
you make me happy. but I am not sure for Gorilla Glass. the specifications does not mention that. and Greek guys say that is normal glass not Gorilla. are you sure for that? if you use your nails it will not scratch the screen.
also you have not answered me for Extend2_5GBUserData.zip
can I flash it directly to minideal modded version or is it necessary to flash your rom first?
about a slim case fitted exactly to our phone do you have sth in your mind to buy ?
also how do you find the photo and video quality of the camera?
thanks for all. you are great

Ok, I modified that to official infos, IPS screen. I've read that in an email support answer from ZTE, but I can't find now the source.
About Extended 2.5 GB I already told you two times, you can use it with any ROM, or to be specific: you can flash it on your minideal ROM.
...
The same steps for those who want only to increase userdata partition, without installing any of my ROM. But you have to download Extend2_5GBUserData.zip from attachments....

I don't know any case because I don't use one, but I read somewhere, I don't remember where, about a leather case for it. I don't know more.
The camera is average, but I didn't expect much from it, I have a DSLR camera for photos.
Cheers.
sorry my friend. just wanted to be sure !!!! sorry if you repeat some things twice for me.
in what way do u extend the data size up to 2,5 gb ? is it dangerous for the phone or does it has any effect to the performance and speed of the phone?
about the screen I have read in the official specifications that it is IPS and not Gorilla glass.
but first as you said somewhere read that it is Gorilla. and secondly you tried with your nails and key to scratch the screen without damages. if the screnn was just IPS this would never happened. what to say?????
I am a little sad with the picture quality!!! never mind.
thanks

Well, the method for repartitioning is presented here by meteos. You just need to modify in hex editor some values for Extended Boot Records EBR1 and EBR2. It's not dangerous if you don't make mistakes and enter some values that extend userdata more than 2.7 GB, and that wipe some portion of primary partition. In that case you will have a bricked phone and you can repair it, only by reflashing entire ROM in SPFlashTool.
EBR is for logical partition (userdata, phone storage or internal sdcard) and MBR for primary partition (Boot, Recovery, System..).
My archives are safe, and I've tested both myself without any problem. I'm using now a slim ROM with 2.5GB userdata (internal memory).
You're welcome.
thanks for your help.
you are always helpfull.
if you have any news for new scripts which swap the internal memory with our external SD card memory just inform us..
did you try to play heavy games? does the phone play them smoothly?
if you increase the storage to 2,5 gb what do you choose in storage option : auto , sd or internal storage?
a greek friend of me tried your SLIM rom. he said it is very LIGHT and FAST. But he has problem to select GREEK keyboard. he selects greek keyboard but the choice can not be saved. please try to fix this!!!

Ok, sorry for late answer. I was busy to update recovery to 6.0.3.6 version.
Now, I don't have time to play games, I never installed one in my phone, so.. I don't know how they work in it.
The increased storage is for memory (if you install heavy apps which needs a lot of memory, they use that as virtual memory). I select always sdcard in storage options as default.
I don't know why your friend has trouble to set greek keyboard. I selected it, test it, reboot phone - still there. To select: Settings - Language & Input - KEYBOARD & INPUT METHODS - Android keyboard settings - select only languages you use and deselect others - go back - Default - select Greek - exit - done.
I know it's light and fast, I wanted to be.

[TUTORIAL][GUIDE]Complete Guide to ROOTING, CWM & ROM(s) for LAVA ETAB XTRON+(RK3066)
Here is a short review first
| HARDWARE |:-: Talking about the Lava Xtron+’s hardware, the tablet boasts a dual core Cortex A9 CPU with each core clocked at 1.5Ghz and a Mali 400 Quad Core GPU.
Well, for the proof of graphics power, see the benchmarks by fonearena.com ,63.9 fps in nenamark, and the most important thing according to me, RK3066 IS THE BEST LAST GEN GAMING CHIPSET BETTER THAN TEGRA 3...I am a true geek and after searching for 20+ hours came to a conclusion that this is the best piece of android till 12-13k,(except Lumia 520 but it is windows)..
| BATTERY | :-:Coming on to battery, When I opened the battery stats page I find that Cell standby had consumed nearly 60% of the battery.WHAT!? Cell standby is the battery used by radio cells for mobile networks. This tablet DOES NOT have cell radio! The engineers working on this tablet didn't even bother to setup the OS properly and instead chose to simply download Android 4.2, flashed it in the tablet and have put it up on sale.
The Flipkart page reports the battery capacity to be 3,700mAh, which is probably wrong since the official specifications page on Lava’s website reports it to be only 3,000mAh. I can't be sure..:silly:
AIRPLANE MODE IS NOT COMPLETELY WORKING DUE TO DEFECTIVE DRIVERS (CELL RADIO DRIVERS ARE PRESENT IN THIS TAB SO IT SEARCHES FOR DRIVERS CONTINUOUSLY AND FUC*S BATTERY UP!:crying There is a fix in the post
| SCREEN |:-:The front of the Lava Xtron+ holds a 7-inch sharp IPS LCD display having a resolution of 1024 x 600. It’s a bright screen and with a pixel density of 170 PPI, it is pretty sharp too. The best part about the display is that, despite being an LCD screen, it’s not a battery consuming monster. I always found its battery usage to be lower than processes. The screen is prone to scratches though and is highly reflective.
We can enable the biggest advantage of PC gaming in android now, i.e 4xMSAA in deveoper settings, makes gaming experience even better than tegra 3

Before starting i would say that i am not responsible if any guides here bricks your device ( it should not happen at all if u follow all steps properly as the chances of permanent brick of rk3066 is very slim but boot loop is a possibility) I made this thread to collect everything I've done in one place. This should make everything very straightforward and basically most probably n00b-proof.
| ROOTING | :-:
Pre Requisites-Working drivers (if not then no problem), OEM USB Cable, LAVA ETAB XTRON+, 2 windows apps and PATIENCE
{Screen shots of important steps is in the attachements}
(i) For Drivers download and install moborobo
HTML:
http://download.moborobo.com/download/Client/Moborobo(Moborobo_En_official).exe
(ii) In tablet go to in Settings >developers options and turn it on and enable USB Debugging & before connecting it to your PC go into the tab's
settings again and click on storage.In it you will find 3 dots in top right hand corner.> USB computer connection >Enable Mass storage
Note: DO "NOT" TURN USB STORAGE "ON".(When Connected to PC)
Note: Remove your external SD card before rooting.
(iii) Connect it to your PC and click on refresh and install/find drivers and it will download and install them..(there might be a security warning
about force install) Now, it may not recognize the model no, IMEI and other things and say that the device is JB7+ but the only thing you
should look for to make sure it is the right device is the total size and usage of internal Memory and NAND Flash..
(iii) Now drivers are securely installed and the tab is connected in the right way (there is no OEM (LAVA) drivers anywhere)
Download the zdm (Chinese software) in the attachments (For Every Step first see the screenshot)
Note:IT MAY INSTALL SOME USELESS SOFTWARE ON UR PC AND TAB , BUT IT CAN BE UNINSTALLED.
(iii)) When it detects the there will be something written like this in the bottom right corner :??ROOT : ONE or something like that (not in screen
shots as the tab is already rooted ) but it must be in green colour.This is the confirmation that the device can be rooted.
(iv) Now click on the Root Button in left hand side
(v) Click twice on green (thingy) first where it says ROOT then again for the confirmation popup (says something else but in green box)
(vi) Rooting Process has begun and the tab will restart (my PC is quite fast so it was almost instantly restarted and the Super SU was flashed it may or may not take 2-3 mins)
Note:IT WILL INSTALL SUPERUSER , WHICH IS OUTDATED BUT BEFORE DOWNLOADING OTHER SUPERUSER APP , USE THE ONE PRE-INSTALLED TO UPDATE SU BINARY.
DEVICE IS ROOTED WOOT! WOOT! you can also check by using Titanium Backup or root checker.
Mod Edit: Rooting method also described by Mohd.Anas here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48776299
How to fix battery:-:
Get root explorer open system/app and rename phone .apk and telephonesomething.apk to phone.bak and telephonysomething.bak, you are good to go..
Also, you should change the WiFi scanning interval to 500 I.e 5 min as you really just require one scan when connecting to a known network..change the wifi supplicant scan interval to 500 build.prop
| CLOCKWORKMOD CUSTOM RECOVERY (GENERIC RK3066) 6.0.3.1|:-:
There are 2 methods one is tested by me(both are the same recovery created by the famous user "fun" at androtab.info), it works on our tab because when I opened the kernel.img with a hex editor (like Neo Hex Editor) the first line started with "KRNL" so I have a dedicated kernel in the kernel partition and I can just use the generic CWM. You can also follow this procedure just to be sure..make a online nandroid backup find kernel.img and open it up in pc in hex editor..
(A)METHOD TESTED BY ME
(i) Firstly you have to get the arctools apk,either by registering at their forum..
HTML:
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/arctools-application/clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-easy-install-on-rk3066-and-rk3188-devices/
(ii) Click on download and select RK3066 CWM fun androtabinfo 6.0.3.1, there is only one option like that so it may or may not be in order.
(iii) Afer downloading click on install apps give i superuser permission and Voila! CWM.
(iii) You should also see the log right in the middle of the apps to verify that the flash and push thingy worked correctly with no errors
(iii) Select Reboot to recovery or Turn the tab off and press power button+vol up and the recovery should open
YEAH! YOU NOW HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR TAB
(B)METHOD NOT TESTED BY ME
HTML:
http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/
(i) DOWNLOAD RK30GENERIC_CWM.zip from
HTML:
http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/
(ii) Here are the different ways to flash this zip file
HTML:
http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/install/
|CUSTOM ROM(s)|:-:
There is only one ROM which is worth flashing and even that might be slightly buggy..
Well, I don't recommend to flash a custom ROM here as they may have bugs like Wifi still if you want the following features
Auto Install Feature: This allows you to install apk's automatically on first boot, if you have the apk files located in a folder named autoinstall on your external SD card.
HTML:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?8910-Auto-APK-Install-Feature
Rooted with SuperSU
Debloated of all Lava bloatware
Google Play Store tweaks added to improve availability of apps
Init.d support
Busybox support
English language default (all other languages are still supported)
Boot screens by Tattman65
Flash Tool by Finless
Reboot app by Petrus
Here is Lava Xtron+ RileyROM 1.1
HTML:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?10688-Lava-Xtron-RileyROM-1-1
Complete flashing procedure in extreme detail is in the ROM zip file (it is a PDF file named first time user guide , very helpful)..Personally I have not flashed the ROM as I don't think it is worth the hassle and possibility of no Wifi...
PLEASE CLICK ON THANKS IF I HELPED YOU, IT REALLY MOTIVATES ME!:highfive:
Thank you.. I was waiting for a method to crack this tab.. Will comeback with result.
Ext4 support
Can somebody tell me if ext4 is supported or not, when i try link2 sd it says not supported but I am pretty sure that the system partition itself is Ext 4, (I'm the one who made the guide)
Try ext3. It will be supported.

Well, I have tried it there are some problem in link2sd, but according to an nandroid the system and data are ext4 , I have set up everything in ext2 and would hate to do it all over again, is there a way to verify support of ext 3 or 4 acc to wiki, kernel above 2.6 support ext4 and the kernel here is 3.0... One more ting, when I tilt the tab, I think that something heavy is moving around inside slightly, probably battery should I ask for a replacement? I have 4-5 days remaining I bought from flipkart, I do have a complete SD and nandroid backup..
EDIT: in d/tracing events ext4 there is a file called enable and the value inside is zero should I change it to 1
I think I found out the culprit, the first partiton that I tried was ext2 so link2d created a script for that..now, when I try to use ext3 or 4 ..it still tries to use that same script..so I willl delete the script then try again...
Successfully Rooted..! Sorry for the delay..!

Well you are familiar with cwm or do you even have it installed, if you do then just go to install zip from sd card and select the zip file...secondly if you have a cwm nandroid backup (recommended) just go to backup and restore select resotre or restore from externel sd and then select the date of the required backup file then click restore..If you do have a cwm nandroid backup then it MUST work...if you don't even have the recovery then, ist step is to install it through THE guide then, try to do the ist (not recommended) option...
I have cwm installed on my tablet but i dont have stock rom of lava xtron plus

Finally, after a series of studies and tests not always gone well, it turns out the first alternative to the official firmware ROM.
Unfortunately we are not yet able to have control on the terminal, since no one on the horizon hopes to release source code, but surely it is still a revolutionary firmware, and although it is a photocopy of the stock firmware, once installed you will not need to make any other changes especially.
Nuff said, I shall list the features of this ROM, as amended and then inside:
PERFECT ROM V1:
1) Based on the latest version of the stock firmware (31/12/2015);
2) Root included;
3) BusyBox included;
4) Recovery TWRP included;
5) BOOT.IMG unlocked;
6) Firmware fully translated into Italian (some applications had not the Italian language);
7) Customizing the boot logo;
8) Customization of the animation in the opening;
9) Make changes to build.prop;
PERFECT ROM V2:
1) Based on the latest version of the stock firmware (28/01/2016);
2) Root included;
3) BusyBox included;
4) Recovery TWRP included;
5) BOOT.IMG unlocked;
6) Firmware fully translated into Italian (some applications had not the Italian language);
7) Customizing the boot logo;
8) Customization of the boot animation;
9) Make changes to build.prop;
10) Removed applications "CallerId Search", "JIAJINAgingTest" and Launcher iBingo (potential sources of malware);
11) Added launcher "Smart Launcher" to replace iBingo (optional and uninstallable);
12) Added Chronos widget (in system);
13) Added notification tones.
IMPORTANT!!!
The V2 version was released in 2 versions:
1) FULL VERSION FIRMWARE - full Firmware of all its parts, ideal for those who want to flash the complete firmware and especially for those who do not possess the V1 version of " Perfect ROM ";
2) VERSION UPDATE - The same firmware, but which inside contains ONLY UPDATES from version 1 to version 2. Designed for those who already have the V1 version and wants to upgrade to the new firmware version, without losing anything.
Whatever version of the firmware you chose to put, the ROM is flashed as if it were in effect an official firmware, then using SP Flash Tool.
Council staff, it is a ROM-based firmware official, who wanted to avoid losing your personal data (applications, etc.), can make advance the backup of your existing firmware and, after you install and configure this, restore its back-up created ONLY PART OF USERDATA !!!! You will have the new firmware, but with your personal data. On how to back up, I refer you to post already abundantly treated on site.
I avoid putting screenshoot, would not make sense as a question of changing the official firmware that we all know.
Since this is a first version, I think it goes without saying that all users are welcome tips, questions, clarifications, report problems and mistakes and all you can relate to this ROM ONLY.
NEW!!!
Menu Reboot original
I have created the file "Reboot original" in order to don't have anymore the reboot menu in italian language. This file you can use ONLY ON "PERFECT ROM V2". I'm not sure that will work if you use it on V1 version.
This is the file to flash with TWRP: Reboot original

Rooting my Ulefone Paris
I want to get root access on my Ulefone Paris and Ulefone Be X too but the Paris first so i have downloaded from one drive the original Firmware or in case things go wrong, But in my search i came across your ROM MOD PERFECT ROM V 1.0 so now as i do not properly understand the root process with the TWRP thing i am wondering if it might be easier for me to just install your ROM MOD, in the description it says root included and it is also based on the original software supplied with the phone,that is if i understand correctly. So i'm just after the easiest most foolproof way to get ROOT there is nothing on the phone i can't replace i have only had it a few weeks, it is KERNEL VERSION

Yes, is correct....if you flash this "PERFECT ROM" you'll never need to improve others mod, because all the mods (root, recovery, busybox, etc) are integrated in my ROM.
I called the ROM in this mode, because you non need to do anithing after the installation!!!
P.S. I'm sorry for my poor english
Thank you

Thank you for your reply, I have not tried it yet,but i think i will. I will read about it and get familiar with the installation process and when i have gained the confidence i will install it. it might be a while i might practice on an older cheaper phone first but when it is done i will let you know how things are.

I'm trying to install your ROM with the official Flashing Tool_v3.1504 but I am running into problems (comports and checksums).
Can I install your Perfect ROM with the other SP_Flash_Tool_5.1532? If yes, where can I find the instructions to install the full ROM as a firmware upgrade? Are they the same as for installing just TWRP as you describe in your other post?
Thank you in advance

how to format the stock rom
hi...i want to format the stock rom because i installed accidentally a malware from playstore that i cant delete with any malware software and the only thing i can do now is to deactivate the file that is infected.
1)i know hot to root the phone but i must first delete the virus...can i format the stock rom with SP Flash Tool?
2)to install perfect rom i just have to download it with sp tool and thats it?
2)if i root the phone ulefone says that we cant receive any updates....so if i choose to install the official updated rom how can i get any future updates? i read somewhere that i can have updates if i reinstall the official flashing Tool v3.1504 , is it true or must i do something else to have updates?
3)can you suggest me any good malware software to avoid future infections.
thanks for your time.
"Perfect ROM V 2.0"
Available on the first page, version "FULL FIRMWARE", designed for people who want to flash the full firmware.
For those who already have the 1.0 version, I'm uploading an "UPDATE" version where there is the opportunity to flash only the changes between the two versions.
Both have to be flashed with SP Flash Tool and you can not flash through recovery. Obviously those who make the UPDATE, do not lose anything, the only changes will be the improvements of the last released firmware (28.01.2016).
IMEI issue
Hi, I downloaded and installed the V2 full rom without any problem... when the phone booted the first time I noticed that there was no signal for either sim cards. I dialed #*06* and saw there was no imei on either. I search on the web for a solution and found a program called "Maui META 3G" and with it I could write the two imei numbers on the phone again... I thought that with this procedure the problem would be solved, but only the first sim card is working, the second one is recognized by the phone and it ask me wich sim card i want to use for calling, data connection and sms, but no signal for the second one... then thinking that the second sim was broken I swapped them and the same happend, the second one was not working and the first one was working. both imei are good now but the sim card I put on the second slot does not works.
Can you help me please?
Hi Cuvetto,
great work creating a custom rom, intend to install this weekend, but i don't want to get into trouble like intolko.
Shoud IMEI also be backed up with MtkDroidTool and should after flashing your rom also be restored like userdata ?
And what about mac address, need that also user attention or should that be no problem ?
Thanks for any clearance,
Shotfac

I think that you flashed the rom using "Format all+download" and in this mode, you lose your IMEI.
To restore your IMEI, you can also use other procedure (MobileUncle is an App for this, but don't take it from Playstore, Take it from internet or blackmarket).
I'm sorry for your problem, but noone installed my rom had IMEI problem.

If you want, you can create a bak-up of your IMEI with MobileUncle, (I suggest to do everybody, is a safety procedure)
MTKdroid, doesn't work with our smartphone, you can manage our smartphone, with MobileUncle (take it from blackmarket or internet, not on playstore).
Many people ahve installed my rom, and never noone have lost the IMEI, maybe intolko has made confusion during the flashing procedure.
This ROM has some FCs on third party apps (such as Facebook, some Bank apps, etc.), so I deleted all the ROM files because they are useless at this time. Due te fact I have no more time to spend on this project, a moderator can close this thread!
Thank you!
Very well done! I just have one question: what does the CellBroadcastReceiver package do, and why is it installed if we don't need it?

In many Countries they use it to broadcast anything useful/vital to people life. In Italy it's used by Vodafone to broadcast the Province/CellID in GSM, channel 50, and TIM for the "Arancione" plans (does it exist anymore?) to bill by Province/CellID (I don't remember the channel ID).
The -> real <- thing, in Italy, is the battery drain!
The modified Twrp does not work for me... the original twrp link is offline and the standard 2.8.7.0 is not working on fever, and the working version of twrp that i found online (that is 3.0.something) is not able to install this rom for the error "signal 11" Then i do not know how to install this rom... if someone has advice, or has installed it, let me know.

What problems do you have with the modified Twrp? By the way, the Twrp itself was not modified, only the kernel (stock V39 Fever LL) and I deleted the last page asking to install SuperSu everytime... not so useful, because I use to install it separately, or with the Rom with scripts!
The only issue I have with Twrp 2.8.7.0 (vs. 3.x) is that it's continuosly flickering in upper screen, but it's useable for the two/three items it has to do (format/wipe/install).
These problems doesn't appear on Twrp 3.x, but we can not use it, because it expects MarshMallow filesystem paths format and support,... vs we are using Lollipop format. You got signal #11 because the scripts cannot mount and find the /system filesystem were they expects to find in LL format while you are using Twrp 3.x in MM format!
If you'll try to start Twrp 3.x on kernel 3.10.x (LL), if it starts for whatever miracle, you'll get tons of signal #7 errors bacause the /rootfs of the Recovery image is based on MM files and libraries, while Twrp 2.8.7.0 is based on LL files and libraries and does not start on kernels 3.18.x (MM).
Lastly, have you clicked on the "d-h.st/82jl" link? I clicked on it, now, and I downloaded it with no problems... (the original 2.8.7.0 twrp!)...
@Melkor_98 @sun75 When I installed RR for the Canvas 5 on my Wiko Fever I first had to install the Canvas 5 TWRP recovery. This was because otherwise I got a signal 11 error as the updater-script was setup for the Canvas 5 (changing it cause some other errors...). With the Canvas 5 TWRP I had the strange black lines flickering at the top of the screen and some other minor bugs. But then, when I had to reinstall it because the IMEIs were not working, I first flashed the stock Canvas 5 LL firmware ROM and then the recovery. This time it worked perfectly as if I had a Canvas 5. So this could possibly be related as the issue appears to be similar.

Yes, it can be true, but the problem is Wiko and Canvas have different partition schemes: Wiko has one partition more (Apedata) and different partition sizes and entrypoints vs. Canvas. (refer scatter file...). If you change your phone to Canvas, make sure to FIRST, make a *complete* ROM backup of all 26 partitions to files with SP Flash Tool!
Then you can format all the flash eprom, and restore the Canvas Rom. So you will need the SN Write Tools to restore IMEI/WIFI/BAR Code/BT mac addr using the Canvas mddb database.
Then you have to restore all the Wiko hidden partitions except the system, boot and recovery, but from now on, you have to use the Canvas scatter file, because you changed the partition scheme!
Hidden partitions are important because they contain calibration data, security keys, crts, etc... For sure they are used on Stock Roms, ... I don't know if custom Roms use them...
So, be careful on mixing the correct scatter file being on Canvas or on Wiko type Rom...

I thank you for the answer, yes that link after some ads bring me to a page that do not load... about twrp i should try to bring back to LL the phone with the official tool of wiko and with that situation restart to unlock bootload /flash twrp 2.8.7/ install rom? For exemple i use the tool taken from andoidiani (i can not post link...) that should bring back everything to android 5.1 status? ps on the last version of MM for fever (the one that i have) if i flash a different version of twrp that is not the 3.0.something the recovery do not start, the phone remain on the "wiko" screen and stop here...

No, you shouldn't bring back to LL the phone nor unlock anything! I was on MM, and simply flashed with SP flash tool the boot.img & recovery.img. Once in recovery, I erased all except the microSD, and then, installed the Rom.zip. Done.
What problems do you have with recovery flashing it with SP flash tool? It does not start? Let me know!
For the original TWRP you can see here (Twrp Beta1 for LL): Link! I'm correcting the OP!

I was using adb Fastboot, to first unlock the bootloader (that with the wiko tool return locked if you recover the phone) after i use the fastboot command to flash the recovery img, with the classic "fastboot flash recovery" Should i use SP flash tool to flash the twrp 2.8.7? (the reason of why i was using adb fastboot is becouse fever has not the removable battery and sp flash tool have difficulty do detect him)

Yes, you'll bypass the OS, flashing directly the recovery.img to the flash! I never used adb fastboot, etc. commands on Wiko,... and I never unlocked the bootloader! Maybe with other phones it's mandatory, but with the Wiko Fever, you can flash directly on top with SP Flash Tool!

The first time you use the official Wiko Update (V34 MM or V39 LL, it doesn't matter) it installs the Wiko drivers (unsigned drivers, so if you use Win 8/8.1/10 you have to reboot in "allow unsigned drivers install mode" by using the Windows recovery menu' and by pressing F7 (If I remember)) and unpacks the original Rom, then it asks to install it: do not install it, you don't need it!
Once installed the drivers, use the SP Flash Tool (it uses the same drivers installed by the Wiko Update!) to update the required images of the Flash! The phone must be completely off, attach it to the pc after you have started the download process in SP Flash Tool and it will start by itself!

I've got huge battery drain especialy when the phone is used (I think it's correct on sleep mode) and I already set up kernel audiutor to 1040 max CPU speed...
Is it normal ?
Two others minor bugs :
Settings app crash at first boot, need to force stop it and re-launch the app to get it to work (I'm in France if it's matter).
Mobile data on LTE can't connect directly at phone boot, I have to switch to 3G then set it back to LTE and it's good.
Also, I deleted superSU from the rom to be able to install magisk 14.0 + xposed 87.3 + gravitybox 7.0.0 alpha1 and it works great but maybe it cause the battery drain ?

Huge battery drain? Are you using this rom or the 5.8.4_r29 for Canvas?
If you're on this Rom, why you have set kernel audiutor to 1040 max cpu speed? I can achieve a normal day full battery chargeless whith no particular settings!
The Settings app never crashed at first boot to me (anyone else?), but, instead, with SuperSu installed, it asked for Root permissions!
For mobile data: I think it depends on where you live! I adapted /system/etc/firmware and /system/etc/mddb for SE (Southern Europe, Italy, etc.) Region. If you live elsewhere, you have to simply replace or adapt the contents of these two folders with the data you can copy from your Stock Rom (same paths). One more config, there is a "ro.telephony.default_network=10" in build.prop in /system that works for sure in Italy..., maybe in other countries the LTE default network is not 10 but another value...

I have a Wiko Fever 4G and I use the rom you recommended : "RR-N-v5.8.3-20170527-l5460-Official" installed from stock Wiko Fever lollipop v22. (What's better ? Installing from lollipop or marshmallow, and which version ? I can't find lollipop v39 anymore)
I deleted superSU from the rom to be able to install magisk 14.0 + xposed 87.3 + gravitybox 7.0.0 alpha1 and it works great but maybe it cause the battery drain ?
Also why we need superSU ? Can't we use lineage/cm integrated root ?
Mobile data isn't a problem for me, I use a tasker task that send an intent to gravitybox at system start to switch to 3G then switch back to LTE. I'm in France and LTE default network is also 10 I think, it also work with 9 if I remember correctly.
Do you know if I can sent an intent to the system to do the same thing, I mean without needing of gravitybox ?
The Settings app doesn't crash at first boot but sometimes (often) at system start. Same thing, I use a shell command with tasker to open settings in background at system start then another command to force close it, and it works.
Another thing, why there is two camera app exactly ?

I have a Wiko Fever 4G and I use the rom you recommended : "RR-N-v5.8.3-20170527-l5460-Official" installed from stock Wiko Fever lollipop v22. (What's better ? Installing from lollipop or marshmallow, and which version ? I can't find lollipop v39 anymore)
I deleted superSU from the rom to be able to install magisk 14.0 + xposed 87.3 + gravitybox 7.0.0 alpha1 and it works great but maybe it cause the battery drain ?

It's not a problem what version of LL or MM did you came from...: the problem, maybe is the Region you are for the Baseband. I "statically linked" the SE Baseband (in the Stock MM Rom it is chosen by reading the NVRAM for the suffix _XX and then it loads the right files from /etc/firmware and ../mddb directories). Now, with the custom ROM, all the scripts reading the NVRAM for the suffix are gone, so it loads everytime the _n modem and mddb databases, whatever they are! So I overvritten the generic _n modem and mddb databases with the _SE ones. For your region to work correctly, I suggest you to upgrade to MM Stock, go in Factory Mode Menu and select Version Info -> check your Region Zone! If it's SE, ok, otherwise you have to copy/paste the zone modem/mddb _XX files to _n overwriting it for each group!
I don't know magisk and the other software you mentioned... so I can not help you for the battery drain with them!
For SuperSu... I tried to use /xbin/su but it doesn't work for all apps... Something works, most not! So, because are years I used SuperSu for all, I installed it solving the rooting problems for all apps requesting it!
Idem with Settings: it's requesting SuperSu with Root Permissions from the first start... maybe not installing SuperSu breaked something. You can check it by logging the boot process "adb shell logcat > log.txt" and looking for the cause of the crash! I can not replicate the problem...
For LTE,... in Italy I'm attaching LTE with no problems with two distinct network operators... it switchs automatically from H+ to 4G and viceversa without any interaction from me! I suspect you are on the wrong Baseband Zone... By the way, I got the Baseband from the MM V.34 ROM (the latest!).
Two cameras? Yes... only because every app has some nice features the other app does not have! Feel free to delete the one you don't like/don't use!
Some Bugs...
Hi,
I found some bugs in this Rom and/or port on Wiko Fever. I'll describe them so you can confirm them!
- In these days I'm working in a DataCenter at floor -1. Well, there is no GSM/data available here. The problem is that when coming back on ground or upper floors, the phone correctly reattach itself to H+/LTE data connection, but it never establishes an ip connection to the Internet, with the "x" in the LTE signal fixed as no ip was negotiated. This is true until a reboot is done! Once a reboot is done, the problem is solved: data connection and ip connection to the Internet are established automatically! I think it's the MM baseband that is not fully compatible with this Nougat Rom based on LL...: I'll try to substitute the Baseband with the LL V39 one and test it!
- FM radio module: I fixed it. BUT... : it's complaining about a "Alsasound: no defined handler specified for .... " forever (draining battery) and info on radio stations and RDS is not working (but radio and audio is working ok!). I'll investigate more on this!
- AudioFX mixer: apparently working,... but ... it's making no difference on sound, no matter on settings you select on its panel! So it's useless! I'll investigate to correct it, to change it, or the like. There is something wrong on the mixer config.
- As someone suggested me, I found that flashing TWRP 2.8.x and the Rom from MM results in some screen glitches and flickering on kernel boot, on charge and on TWRP operation. These can be annoying! To solve them, flash the Fever LL V39 Stock Rom before flashing anything else. Then flash the TWRP 2.8.x, and then the Rom. Doing so, you will never experience screen glitches and flickering on boot and TWRP operation. I think the big difference from the two versions (LL and MM) is the bootloader.bin that is different from the two releases.
- I added some MTK Engineer Mode Modules... someone asked me to do so....: some modules are crashing, e.g. the audio interface test suite, maybe for the Alsasound interface.
- I updated the OpenGLES driver library with the Fever V39 one: more stability.
- I updated all the audio/mixer interface to make FM Radio module work. Maybe this breaks AudioFX, maybe not...
- I updated the installer scripts to look for /gapps/gapps.zip and for /supersu/supersu.zip, so you can download them separately (the version you want) and integrate them yourself. Zip the Rom, and flash!
- Settings -> Backup & Restore -> Factory Reset : is NOT working (if you press "restore", it does NOTHING!!). Ok ok...you can hard reset by TWRP... I Know!
I think it's all... for now!
I'll update the Rom .zip once I'll solve the major issues here explained.
I finally saw someone interested in making a rom for wiko fever and here i am. I would like to know if i can install this rom in the wiko fever 16gb/2g ram version. I noyticed by the stock systems version that this is for wiko fever with 3gb ram. Anyways thank you for your goooooooood work!!
Edit: i have an hanuna twrp already installed in my phone, will it work or i have to install the version metion in the rom description??
