8. correction watermark information loss after taking a photo of the problem
. 9 adjust some irrational layout
. Bug 10 other partially known optimization

if you wish i can prepare mokee 4.4.2 and cyanogenmod 11 guide. i have tried all of them, smooter then miui and coustomized stock roms with ART modealso you can use double click wake up. battery life is not bad, you can easily get 4 hours screen on time but you cant use infared, fm radio, free screenshot and other stock genstures.
there is also trwp recovery. but i must have free time to prepare these things

Yes, the other Roms would be great, too.

i heard ZTE releasing Kitkat and nubia UI 2.0 for rest of the devices at the end of this month. that includes Z5s and Z5sn.

Remember to turn on the developer options (debug)...must go to about phone...press 7 time the serial of the phone.

Hi Thanks for the instructions,
I just got my phone updated and everything seems fine. However I can not get any GPS signal using google map and was wondering if you know a fix. Any help will be much appreciated.

Can we still get the OTA update with this Rom ?
And if i do the update then, will i loose root ?

I know they will release UI2 version... Can not wait to try it.
:laugh:
I also have trouble with GPS - sometimes it works good, sometimes it looses signal frequently (with GPS test - i see it drop from using 10 sattelites to zero in less then a second...)
Is the GPS zip file you posted the same as if i use the APK GpsFix ?( i tried a lot of programs and put different GPS Conf. files but none of them solved my problem)
Tanx in advance

[How To] Install The New GOT Update On Milestone

Hello My Friends I've Heard You Are Having Troubler Installing The New Upgrade Or Understanding What Is Needed To Be Done.
Note: THIS IS A WINDOWS BASED HOW TO AND WILL WORK ON WINDOWS ONLY​
Before I Start I must Say, This Is a combination of process and I have not created any of those files or own the right to them so all the links are the same links found on other posts from where i got the info, so by downloading those files you are, supporting them not me i take no credit for this work
Well Here Is the quick Easy Guide In How To Do This
-Fist we Need To Get The Tools To Perform This Operation
pulled From This Tread we need
1. Motorola Drivers For Either 32 or 64 Bits
2. RSD Lite, witch is a tool for flashing your phone.
3. The GOT Open Recovery ToolUpdate: Added Latest version from G.O.T.'S Blog
4.The Firmware Files From Got
2.2.1 FIRMWARE FILES

EDIT: G.O.T. Has Added the burnerable open recovery to these sfb files so no need to flash it latter
-Now That We Have The Stuff We Need We are going to do it, fist i must say that unlike other roms that are applied by a backup restore (corect me if im whrong) this is a full flash and its going to reset everything so no apps will remain no setting will remain and is highly recommended that you uninstall every app you have, don't back them up(except for apps some apps that have a create backup file, those seem to work) just uninstall them, and when we are done have them installed again, Here Is A Tool That Will Help You Get There Faster
1.ok you have everything uninstalled right? now time for some action
2.install the proper divers (32 or 64)
3.install the RSD Lite tool
4.unzip the 2.2.1 FIRMWARE FILES you downloaded and you will find a ".sbf" file
5.now connect your phone to USB cable and turn it off
6.boot it in boot-loader mode (press the D-PAD UP key while pressing the power button), some night need you to release the button after a minute, a black screen will be shown on your phone and you will see the divers being installed on your computer.
7.when drivers are done open the RSD Lite tool and your device should appear you can click on it to see details.
8.now click on the "..." buttons that are close to the start button and look for the ".sbf" file, after a couple of seconds it should be ready to start
9.press the start button and do not unplug the cable or let your computer show the screen saver or go to sleep, the posses must not be stopped while it has started .
10.when the posses is done the devise will restart and voala, you have 2.2
-As GOT stands there are some bugs on the firmware and they have developed a fix to them and get root and overclock, here is what you have to do.
1. unzip the got open recovery tool into the root of your SD card
2.check this quote
NOTE: On some devices, we have encountered that rooting directly after flashing without rebooting after the initial flash can bring some issues with RootExplorer not asking for root permissions. To be safe, reboot after flash so that the “welcome to milestone” menu comes up, set up the device in general, then reboot to recovery and root the device as well as apply our 2.2.1 tweaks with Launcher, Services.jar fix and Wireless Tethering app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this means if the fist time your milestone got restarted and you saw "Welcome to Milestone" Message You are good an you can root.
but if you didn't then restart you phone and see if the message comes out, if not , a factory reset should have that scree message shown.
3. open the open recovery by pressing camera and power button at the same time while the device id off. you should see a scree with a "!" symbol on it then press fist volume rocker up button a leave it pressed then press camera button, some letter will pop out.
4. using the pad scroll down to "apply update.zip", after a couple of seconds the GOT menu should pop out (everything from now on uses the pad)
5.root your phone (why not)
6.go down to "Launch 2.2.1 Menu" Option.
7.Here you will see the "Fix Bugs They Are Talking About
One of the first things you should do is use the “Fix 2.2.1 bugs” selection in the new OR 2.2.1 menu after you flash the sbf file.
This tweak will fix some of the issues with the generic sbf build such as dual USB notifications, replacing some stock Motorola applications such as the old launcher/mediagallery and adding the Wireless Tethering application.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. there is the overclock too.
Now your device should have all the things you need to start playing with it,I encourage you to check on some tweaks the GOT team might have, and you might want.
I Hope This Was Helpful enjoy ^_^

Thank for this tutorial.
My milestone works fine so far, but 3g mobile hotspot and wireless tether not working.
Flash on milestone is so cool
something i don't get
I updated the firmware with RSD Lite, and used the one click tool, because:
whenever i try to hit update.zip i will get an errormessage, stating that these blocks couldn't be found -> ergo, the card not be mounted.
The HTC stuff i always managed, but this one is a mistery to me. Also, i did format fat32, pushed the stuff and then straight on bootup trying to hit the update.zip, without success.
I've read about how other people solved that problem, none of those approaches helped me.
Any hint is more than welcome.
2 bugs i've discovered so far: Battery drain like almost to be declared useless, some market apps "vanish" after installing them. I suppose those fixes would have done the job. I might attempt to use root explorer and execute the scripts like that, still I'd like to know why I'm unable to get the update.zip, resp. the G.O.T or any other "intelligent" boot menu installed.
Edit2: Even when installing the vulnerable sbf, i still get the error: E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ....

-Re download and re flash the files(do the whole thing again)
-there is an app i have called sd dual mount that makes my screen go crazy wen i connect the phone to an usb port, it was stable on 2.1 but now goes crazy on 2.2 check some of your apps to ensure they are not the ones responsible for this

have you tried re downloading the files and doing all over again?, it could be a broken file
thats why i tell devs and chefs they should add an MD5 sum to their files larger than 20MB some errors are caused by just having downloaded broken files
Root phone from the GOT OR menu doesn't seem to actually root my phone (2.2.1 UK version)
Superuser whitelist app FCs instead of prompting to allow access. Have tried using Better Terminal for root access & also Wireless Tether app.
Anyone else getting this? Any ideas? Do any of the 1-click root apps still work with this build of Froyo? Which can we use?

i can confirm this. Simply trying it a second time worked for me
I'd like to add something for Linux users:
Using a virtual machine (virtualizing WinXP) that has USB support (eg Oracle VM VirtuaBox, since VirtualBox OSE does not support USB forwarding) can do this pretty easy. So no worries when trying this via a VM.
i try to instal GOT and its succesfull.
but why i install the application not bring to SD card
but still bring to internal memory
many said 2.2 automatic have app2sd
can you help me?

[q] need original rom spice-mi700 build 5012_3_16p

Hi
I wonder if anyone here can help me out, I just damage the original rom of my Spice Mi700 build 5012_3_16P (Indonesian Version) I cant make a phone call, browse internet, etc. Now I need the original ROM of it to flash it back to my device. I couldn't go to the store to get it fix cause i'm too far away from the store (needs 2 flights to get there).
So if anyone here got the device and can dump the clean ROM for me or if anyone had the original ROM would you please share it to me??
BIG THANKS,
ps: mods, if this is the wrong place to ask please move it to the right place, tq.
Did u tried to flash a custom ROM or damaged it while using?
Before flashing try factory reset ur device.Follow the steps below.
---->IF U CAN BOOT INTO RECOVERY VIA KEY THEN SKIP THE 1) N 2) 3) STEP.
IF NOT THEN FOLLOW ALL THE 4 STEPS.
1)Turn on ur pc n search for quick boot app on the internet.
2)Install it run it.
3)Select the recovery boot.(This will boot ur device with inbuilt recovery mode present in ur device.)
4)Then select the wipe date or factory reset something like that.
Wait until it is finished.Then reboot ur device n check weather the prob is solved or not.
Here's the quick boot app:
I am not allowed to post link but here's the path for it:
Google for quickboot.apk u will see the mediafire link download it.
Thanks for the reply,
I have done repairing the device, I search all over the net finnally I have solution flash back using custom ROM.
Here's what happen that make my OS broken, at the time my phone was temporary rooted, then I do a Factory Reset (while it still rooted). After the reset there's when a lot of my device features can't be use. I can't make a phone call, lost my browser, can't install apps, my builtin file browser was not installed. So I'm almost can not do anything. I even tried to install the apps using ADB and still failed. So in my confusion status i search here the any possibilities to fix it, what i found is a custom ROM but its for 5012_3_16I (mine is 16P). I'm afraid it will not work for my device. But anyway what's the worst it can be, so i do this way :
1. Install clokwordrecovery.img
2. Reboot to the recovery (using adb commands)
3. Backup the last state of my device
4. Then install the custom ROM from this XDA (i cannot post a link too, just search it with a thread title "[REQ] Developers Interest NEEDED: Samsung Tab Alternative - Spice Mi700 DroidPad")
5. Aaannnndddd it works, my phone got all the function back.
6. Oooo, I also overclock the Proc to 864mhz (using a solution from the neighbours forum)
7. I found out about yaffs2expert in the market.
8. Using yaffs tool I extract the system img from my backup files earlier
9. I remove the folder system and boot.img in the custom ROM that i got before and change it with my extracted folder from the extracted img and the backup boot.img too (the original backup boot.img was not extracted).
10. I compressed it using zip
11. Using recovery mod install the ROM that i have just build before.
12. And again it now back to its original (like new from the store) state of the device.
13. The proc is still OC to 864mhz.
Do what I have just done is a bad idea (customizing a moded ROM with my original ROM)????
Ok now I have a new problem, everytime I turn the wifi on the device is restarted, is there any solution??
Thanks,

[TUT][ROOT+CWM+GAPPS]InFocus M512 Root, CWM and GApps tutorial.

So there is a bargain chinese 4G phone called the 'InFocus M512'.
The problem with it is that it comes without Google Apps and also is not rooted (sometimes is). Also it does not have CWM Recovery.
So this quick tutorial shows you how to root, install CWM Recovery and install google apps on the M512.
I'm not responsible for any damage
Rooting:
Method 1
1.Go to settings>>Security>>Check Unknown Sources tap OK.
2.Download this file.
3.Install
4.Run and tap 'get root' or somthing like that.
5.Delete KingRoot and some chinese app, but DO NOT DELETE KingUser!
6.Done!
Method 2
Flash CWM Recovery using the 2nd method from this post. If you have rooted usign the first method use method 1 from that post.
Download UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip (i used 2.46)
Reboot into CWM.
Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip, press power button
Reboot now
GApps
1.Download this zip file
2.Reboot into CWM.
3.Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select the file, press power button
4.Reboot now.
How to delete KingUser (only if you have SuperSU and it is working)
Download ES File explorer, enable root explorer, go to /system/app and delete KingUser.
So this is how to get root, cwm and gapps on the m512.
First Method no good for me
I put the kingroot file in the adb tools folder and used the install command. It wasn't clear from the above whether the phone needed to be in recovery or some other mode so I tried a few times, in recovery mode and again just connected as an mtp device in the normal way. Either way the result was the same, it said "Invalid APK File: KingRoot.......".
I will have a go at the CWM thing next.
I am still on the 103A ROM that the phone came to me with - I have been trying, on and off, without success to update and then root it , for months.
When trying to flash an update ROM it tells me that the update package has unexpected contents and the there is an error in the update file and then says "Status 7". You can read all about my lack of success on this forum under the threads M512 started by Galaxy Why.
I'm trying, I really am....
Let me start by saying thanks for making the effort to post what you know and so to help people like me, however.
I tried to follow the method 2 (as I don't have root) from your other post (the one linked to above with the words "the 2nd method from this post" but got stuck.
Your instructions in normal my comments in italics.
Method 2: (No root)
1.Connect your phone via USB to your PC. OK
2.Enable MTP. OK
3.Enable USB Debugging. Settings>Developer Options> tick USB Debugging. OK
4.On your computer, 2 drives will appear: One of them is a CD-Rom which contains all drivers. OK
5.Click on that CD-Rom and it will install all drivers. It doesn't, or it may do, but what it definately does is asks me to put a disc in the drive and tries to do some kind of dir_all in windows explorer - I would post a screenshot here but this page only allows URL's- and I'm not sure how to go about that.. but I think I've managed to upload a screenshot....
After waiting for 5 minutes or so to see if something would happen as the green progress bar ground to a halt but the busy circle continued I hit the cancel button on the "please insert a disc dialogue" and then ploughed on anyway ....
6.Plug phone in again. Now this had me confused, I assume you mean unplug AND THEN plug the phone in again.
7.Download the .ZIP file and extract it somewhere. Which/what zip file do you mean exactly?? I couldn't get past this.
8.Click on _install_cwm_6.0.5.1.cmd
9.Your phone will ask you something, just tick "always allow from this computer" and hit OK.
10.Your phone will reboot into DL Mode, then it will reboot again.
11.Recovery is installed.
It's late and I'm tiring so sorry if missed something obvious. Any advice?

Looks like you don't have a adb driver
And... why do you want to root your phone? Installing CWM is not root required.
M512 comes with a unlocked bootloader, just boot into bootloader and you can flash anything you like.
I made a customized stock rom based on version 2280, bloatwares removed and Google Play framework included. (You can download the apps back from Play Store, if you needs those)
Now the phone has 2.09GB free spaces :victory:
If you were interested on it, I can upload it and give you a link.

3) Now download CF_ROOT in the link below and and put in your worling folder better name that folder your phone name cause we always work in this folder. extract files in there. Now open Odin in that foler as admin and click AP and load the md5 file in same folder. and click start. this will flash root and restart device with a modified kernal.

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for my problem but I will give it a try. I have a problem with TWRP recovery on sm-a8000 Chinese version.
Every time I try to flash any zips it fails.
Error 70 failed to mount preload (invalid argument ) I can't do factory reset either in . I'm able to root the phone and the phone works normally except for the custom recovery.
I tried to do factory reset in original recovery and it worked.
My aim is to install Google play apps.
Here are some pictures of the recovery result. My internal memory is only 3Mb in the recovery but if I connect the phone to my computer it shows 10Gb free.
Any idea what's going on?
hey,did you hv any rom of that model (sm-A8000)?

[TWRP] Umidigi Z2 / Z2 special edition Recovery TWRP

Hi
I was ask many times on how i made TWRP and how to get it work on Stock Roms.
so i thought i will make a Thread for this, so here we go.
1 TWRP download:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am93l3qEx-D_hOdRaTHKVKjvN1M9RA
(this is my Port from the Ulefone S3 , flashing /backup etc all works)
Important:
to get TWRP working you need to edit your fstab in your Rom , it needs to be encryptable insteed of forceencrypt..
How do to this:
well very easy , just follow this steps
1. first you need root! (magsik)
1. Download your Stock rom from Umidigi
2. extract it and take out the boot.img
3. copy the extracted boot.img to your Sdcard or Internal Storage on the Phone
4. Download magisk manager apk from Magisk Thread and install magisk manager apk
5. open it and choose install/ and choose boot.img
6. give magisk your boot.img in your storage
7. after its patched its in your downoad folder
8. copy this patched_boot.img to your desktop on pc
now we need to flash it with flashtools
for this use your scatter.txt file of the stock rom you donwloaded and the patched_boot.img
9. place scatter.txt and patched_boot.img into a new folder created on your desktop
10. rename patched_boot.img to boot.img
11. turn of the phone and start flashtools
12. in flashtools choose the "new folder you created"
13. press on start and after connect the phone to pc via usb..
14. wait. done!
now you have root!
all this steps will take 2-3 minutes.
1. now we need to edit the fstab file
because its a MTK device your fstab file looks like fstab.mt6763 or simliar
2. Download Mixplorer from XDA Thread. ( this root explorer is the best because it set permission automaticly.)
3. open mixplorer and browse to root/system/vendor/etc/fstab.mt6763..
4 open that file and search for ( should be line 15)
Code:
/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,noauto_da_alloc,errors=panic wait,check,quota,formattable,resize,[COLOR="blue"]forceencrypt[/COLOR]=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/[COLOR="Blue"]metadata[/COLOR],
5. edit the file to this
Code:
/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,noauto_da_alloc,errors=panic wait,check,quota,formattable,resize,[COLOR="red"]encryptable[/COLOR]=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/[COLOR="Red"]userdata[/COLOR],
6.save and turn off the phone
Flash TWRP with Flashtools
1. now just place the downloaded TWRP recovery to the created "new folder" on your desktop
(where the boot.img and scatter.txt is in)
2. start flashtools choose that folder and press on start
3 connect phone to pc via usb ... wait until its done.
4. congrats you have a working TWRP
Because i dont own this Phone anymore i dont know the button combinations to boot direct into TWRP , but you also can use a playstore app for that , just serch for a advanced power menu in playstore..

DISCLAIMER:
I AM NOT RESPONAIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ON THE PHONE. ALSO I DONT OWN THE PHONE AND CANT HELP YOU
IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT DO TO OR WHAT IS ROOT OR TWRP , PLEASE CLOSE THIS SIDE AND USE GOOGLE SEARCH TO LEARN A FEW THINGS FIRST.

Make a fullwipe in recovery.

Just doing a wipe in twrp fixed it, thanks
It is work in z2 pro?
does this fstab.mt6763 edit work for one pro to make the twrp read the /data ? everything else is not working and wipe data is pointless since it will just encrypt again when you enter in the operating system.

Umi One Pro
Umidigi One Pro works great according to your instructions, but the camera does not work anymore. Is there a solution, is the error known? More precisely, she does not save the photos.
Thank you
Can I get a reupload of this? Getting an error when I go to link in OP
Finally working thank you very much for this, had issue with gboard & password at first but did the wipe/factory reset & all good now, one question, will this be permanent for the recovery so that I can now install custom rom?
Anyone know what this error is?
If I try to upload the amended boot.img (or TWRP for that matter) from SP Flash Tool v5.1824.00 to the Umidigi One Pro, switching on after pressing Download, I get this. If I also hold down the Volume Up key, the bar goes across the bottom, but I get the same error, and the rooted boot.img has not been uploaded.
I'm using Linux, but I never had this problem with previous phones, Cubot X12, Manito and Max.
Error:
-------------------------------------
ERROR : STATUS_PRELOADER_INVALID (-1073545212) , MSP ERROE CODE : 0x00.
[HINT]:
--------------------------
It worked in Windows 7. I knew it would come in handy one day!
I have a nicely rooted Umidigi One Pro with TWRP and Magisk!
I think the instructions for rooting this phone should start with the warning: Do the minimum to get the phone started, because once you successfully add TWRP, the phone will have to be factory-wiped from TWRP before you can log back into Android!
Still, I'm pleased even though I ended up doing a lot of things twice. Don't tell anyone, but so far Magisk has foxed Barclaycard! I felt when I read the reviews that it might need root in order to correct errors that seem to be 100% software related.

Same here:
The native Camera program doesn't show any sort of preview. After a while there is an error message as follows:
"Can't connect to the camera. Please make sure to close other apps that may use camera or flashlight".
Open Camera takes perfect movies and pictures through the front camera, and saves them. It takes movies through the rear camera, and saves them, but locks up on stills, whether or not flash is enabled. I've seen threads where this behaviour is reported on rooted OnePlus phones, so I'm hope of a resolution.

Unfortunately Open Camera does not work either, the same problem. Photos can not be saved. In what state should the device be in front of the flash? (Delete data completely)
Thank you

I've decided to unroot for now. I'll wait until some better ROMs become available, rather than just adding root to the existing one. My favourite on my old Cubot Max was CrDroid. I had camera problems with all rooted ROMs except that one! To make matters worse, the Barclaycard app suddenly realised that the phone was rooted and stopped working!
Already the standard camera and Open Camera are working now. My main source of rooted fun was messing around with boot animations, but the opening screen on One Pro is surprisingly cool despite being static.
