I have a umi iron but if I plug in the battery it doesn't boot but it gets a bit hot so it's kind of working except that the screen doesn't turn on for some reason. This all happened after I installed a sim card in it.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Strange issue....
I would create an account so you can post in other forums, and then add a post to the > Android Development and Hacking > Android General > UMI IRON, 5.5" IPS Full HD, MTK6753, 3GB RAM, Sony IMX214, Android 5.1, Eyeprint ID thread.
Please include the conditions you mentioned here, as well as any potential customization's you may have tried (e.g. root), and if there was any recent OTA (firmware upgrade).
If no customization's were done, it could just be a faulty phone which if it has a warranty, wouldn't be voided yet. So replacement with your provider/supplier is still an option.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hello everyone. I am new in this forum.
The reason I registered is because I bought a ZOPO ZP700 about 5 months ago and I've been having serious problems with it. At first I thought that the touch screen sensor got screwed up because when I touched-selected an icon or option, the phone would select anything but what I wanted. I cannot even type a proper SMS or punch in a password because the phone has a mind of its own and it types characters by itself. It pops up windows by itself and if I'm lucky enough I get to tap-select the option I want after like 10 tries. I have also noticed that it goes even crazier if it's plugged in the power charger.
I have also attached a little video to show what's going on.
I am using the original ROM the phone came with (it was already rooted by default) and Android 4.2.2.
I read somewhere that ZOPO has officially published Android 4.4 Kitkat for the ZP700 model but I cannot install it using the phone's default update app. I have downloaded it separately but I keep having problems using the flashtools, etc. I'm a rookie with such stuff.
Is there anyone who can help? I would like to install Android 4.4 or at least be able to flash the ROM, well, if that's the issue here.
Soooo frustrated!
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
Hopefully its not a hardware issue but if it turns out to be consider sending it in for RMA

Greetings. I have researched the web and it pointed me yo this community as the best source for rooted android info.
I have acquired a low end phone, and I noticed the GPS stays on all the time (even if you disable it in settings, the GSM battery (and even the regular battery) usage monitor shows it is on 100% of the time.
This is a major inconvenience because whenever an application requests location, it simply bypass my "do not use GPS" setting, turns it on and start searching for sattelites. This is a big battery drain.
Well, I started looking around, found about rooting, and made a self taught crash course about it.
I managed to root my device, installed XPrivacy, DisableService and System Uninstall , fumbled around and uninstalling a few things, fidgetting with permissions and going into the specified processes services I managed to reduce this "GPS Search" quite a bit.
Then I went into the new level, and started thinking about custom ROMs. Thats when I bumped into a problem. My phone is a CCE Motion.evo SK352, local manufacturer, and here in Brazil we have almost NO experience with root and custom phones. Few brazilians understand english AND tech to the point of even start to learn.
Well, the thing is, there is no custom rom avaiable anywhere that shows to be compatible with the model.
HOWEVER, I know CCE does not make chips, and it is using some other manufacturers chips to build their phones. this makes them a half frankenstein half clone.
I wonder if I post enough info abou it, can you point me to a working custom ROM (cyanogen? Paranoidandroid?, ANYONE?) that I can use, downloading the compatible version that matches my specs?
Thanks in advance.
to speed things up, I will type here what I believe are the important bits to know

Hi
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device. And keep in mind, There's more to a device than its chipset. Flashing anything not made for your exact device can brick your device, same chip or not. So you're likely not going to find anything useful about it... Other than guesses. But it's your device, so I'd not flash anything that hasn't been proven to work.
Feel free to ask about it here though,
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
Thanks!
Yeah, I found out (with the help of CPU Identifier) that it is an MTK 6572, and those are hard to make custom roms for it.
I guess I will have to live with this one as it is, until I can get something more palatable, such as a Galaxy something or a motorola whatever. (next two months)
By the way, any ideas on how to turn off the GPS for good? I mean, until I really want to turn it on, or something? xpermission and disableservice can only go so far. I cannot disable "4.2.2-eng ccadmin" to avoid it listening to requests to turn it off, now can I
One last thing, thou....
wouldl this work>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687487 ?
You can ask any questions about your device here,
[Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly]
And again, Flashing any roms that don't mention your model specifically will be a gamble.
That's all I will say on that. But good luck! ?

Hi Folks
Thanks for the time at visiting this thread, and I'm offering 2 beers as a part of my appreciation, should someone be able to help me getting the phone to a state, where a system can be flashed.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (GT-I8190), which is now in a hard-bricked state, where the only gasp of life, is the notorious drill from the vibrator, as the phone seems to try and start-up, every 2 seconds. No Screen, light, or anything else.
The story behind is, that while having stock android, it started to spontaneously restart and go into a boot loop, until attached to a charger.
First every 7 days, then 3 days, then once a day, before it was several times a day.
I decided to root it, and install CM 11, and that wasn't without it's quirks, but flashed it became.
I noticed that the problem was still there, and there where some apps force closing all the repeatedly, so I went into TWRP that was flashed together with CM 11, and wiped data, and did a complete system factory setting.
I pushed the reboot to system button, and the next thing I remember, is that it vibrates, and nothing more, which is what it does every 2 second. When I leave it discharged for a while, and try to turn it on the first time, then it sounds like it "tries" the best, as there are 4 seconds between the vibrations, and then it goes as usual....
I suspect that I have manage to damage the boot loader somehow, and it can't either go in download mode, nor system "aka" Hard Bricked.
I have been looking around at the site, and have seen guides for other phones, where the boot loader is put on an micro SD card, and then revived that way.
Any help/method to get this phone into a usable state is widely appreciated, and once again, thanks for taking your time to read this!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. A quick search of XDA has found your device section here:
Samsung Galaxy S III Mini
That's the best place for you to start, all relevant information for your device can be found there. There's even a dedicated Q&A sub-forum for your device there as well:
Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
So if your search in your device section doesn't prove to be fruitful that's the best place to ask your question as it will be seen by people who own the same device and therefore have experience with it. Please note that in order to post in that section you will need to create an XDA acount.
Good luck with your phone!

Hi
I'm new here so sorry if i do any mistake in my post. And im french so please forgive me my errors.
I've research like a maniac all over the web, i looked in like 109372949927 forums and XDA seem to be the one who help the most.
Ok here is my problem and i just dont know where to start, i never read that someone had a problem like mine and im serious when i say that i looked everywhere, i looked everywhere at least 4 hours a day for now 5 weeks. So imagine.
I have a Ulefone Be pro by mediatek... Yup cheap chinese phone but it was working like magic.
Then one day while i was shopping on ebay, my screen froze and my phone was unresponsive .. So i took out the battery.
To my horror, when it turned back on, its like if i did a major factory reset, all my app, my picture , everything was gone. And also, it was written on my phone, no service. Its not working either for txt or call or what ever, just the wifi work.
Also, when i turn it back on, i notice that my phone internal memory was completely saturated by some system file , i mean completely full ,so full i cant even sync an account to go to google play store cuz the memory is to low. I cant take a picture also...
So it doesnt recognize my sim.
I did try to flash it with sp tool, with the same rom, with a different one, with download only and the other one with the preloader select,i did all the option available in the recovery menu, but nothing is working. At all.
My phone tell me that i have no app at all to make phone call or txt even if the built in one are in there
Also the battery is getting empty really quicly.
I have unknown imei, and everything in about phone is unavailable...
I really need help of someone... The company where i bought it are so unprofessional.. Never ever buy from gearbest. Ever. They answer my email 6 days later and make my warranty pass cuz they were taking to much time to answer. I mean i have my phone for 2 month... And they are really really bad... They dont want to help.me at all always sending the same copy paste message... Uurrgghhhhhh
With all the research i did i didnt even come close to find someone with this problem. Even on french forum some guys try to help me but it just didnt work...
Seriously its like a quest this problem so i need a experienced adventurer to help me. Im not rich at all and it took me time to put money aside for this phone and i cant buy an other one. I just cant.
And the phone turn on so in my head im sure there is something to do to fix it... Please please please help me

Hi there,
I bought a 'strange phone' at low cost, the model tag is 'HTC M9et', but the setting shown it is HTC Me, and it looks and works exactly like the Me, but it got dual SIM for the Chinese market sold by China Mobile, so I guess most of the h/w are the same as the Me except the radio. I got 2 problem with it, first it misses the update option on the settings so I couldn't do OTA update, it is still running on Lollipop. Secondly the USB mass storage doesn't work, when I connect it to the PC via USB nothing happened except the charging light, actually it does show briefly a lightning icon inside a square box, but nothing happened on the PC side, I tried both Linux and windows both the same., but I can connect card reader via it's USB, so the port is working normally., Because of the above problem I couldn't do USB tethering with it, I used my phones for internet via USB or Bluetooth for long time without problem regardless the computer OS in use. I suspect it is a locked phone the carrier removed some features, but strange is that I can use any SIM with it without problem. What I am trying to do is to get a custom ROM for it hopefully I can get back the full features, but first I must know the correct ROM to use, I don't want to spoil the phone although it is cheap, and I've little experience flashing my Motorola Droid Razar with CM ROM, please help me out many thanks !!!
