Vkworld VK700x Review - A $60 Smartphone - Android General

The VKWorld VK700 is a super cheap device costing just about $59.99 but with specs that are quite good for this price tag.
The phone looks quite good, has a CNC metal frame and a 6.9mm thin body.
It features the MT6580a quad-core chipset clocked at 1.5GHz, with 1GB RAM and 8GB of storage. This is further expandable up to 64GB via MicroSD. There’s a 5-inch display with 720p resolution, which is quite impressive given the price tag.
At the back, there’s an 5mp camera intrapolated to 8mp while up front, there is a 2mp sensor intrapolated to 5mp. Both cameras do a decent job in bright conditions, however any pictures taken in low light look pretty bad. This was to be expected for such a cheap device.
The device is running Android 5.1 Lollipop OS. Unfortunately the manufacturer decided to use their own launcher so it can add a few "features" to the device. That doesn't work that well; the phone becomes laggy and the offered features are useless. Installing nova launcher makes wonders and the phone becomes quite fast and snappy.
Another disappointing thing about this device is the 2200mah battery. It seems quite impossible to get more than 2h of screen time on. Of course, not everyone uses their phone that much, and it js quite possible that the phone will make it through an entire day with moderate usage.
Most apps and games work really well on this device even with the 1gb of ram. The phone does get quite hot while playing games. Luckily the heat dissipates quick enough thru the metal frame.
This phone doesn't have a notification light and the 3 buttons at the bottom of the device don't light up.
Overall, for $60usd you get a good looking phone that cuts some corners in order to keep that low price.

Last question: how can I have recovery in English? Thanks for your work, Kywrosaki!

I can´t download the official firmware + recovery.
The download failed all times.
could somebody upload the files again?
Thanks,
Edit: I got it now. Thanks

OTA update to v11 firmware now available. But I don't want to loose root and the custom recovery, so I did not install it yet. The update.zip contains a lot of checks and probably also checks the bootloader and recovery.
Somebody already updated to v11? On the vkworld site, you can only download v08 firmware.
Thanks

You have to put recovery. After that in recovery you have to install "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" and ready. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxh2gs7XEYrYa3RDNUJWam02WGs/view?usp=sharing)

Getting the SPFlash Tool to work with the right drivers and timing is not always easy.
So is it possible to flash the custom TWRP through fastboot? Did somebody try that?

I own the VK700, paid around $65. Nice entry level phone, happy with it. Just some freezes sometimes probably because of the 1GB ram, and a lazy GPS. Except those minor issues, works great.

I rooted a VK700 a few months ago using RootGenius 2.2.6. More recently I wanted to root another VK700 but RootGenius was unable to do it, telling the VK700 was not in the list of rootable devices. I found it weird but then I used VRoot 1.8.6 and it worked fine.
Maybe you can try using these tools to root the VK700x?

I found some Tablets with stereo speakers and enchanced NAND memory. Seems like we got the same thrill here as we got at the HeroTab M802. Correct me if I'm wrong but there where also two versions, one with one speaker and one with stereo speakers, right?

Pretty good to know. I will add it soon. Would be nice if we could discover some good/bad things about this devices from some users.
Unfortunately both the PandaWill Site and Forum are offline..
I just got this tablet today and I am already wanting to hack on it Unfortunately the Android ADK cant see it so I can't ADB to it. has anyone else had this issue?
Since I'm not using this tablet now I can't help you anyway. You may wanna take a lookt at the PandaWill forum. They got some new firmware updates over there. Maybe they will fix your problem?
Can you tell me if the backbody is real aluminium or just poor plastic?
PandaWill Thread: http://www.pandawillforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=2660&extra=page=1
Thanks!
the backbody is real aluminium! The touch is from LG and the same like ipad (glas).
Now everybody how i come into recovery?

Hello,
I ordered a Herotab M10 2 days ago on pricedinchina.com. I'm aware it doesn't comeis with Android Market preinstalled and therefore I would like to install it manually if possible.
Regarding the firmware you're mentioning for the Gpad Gforce, are we really speaking of the same tablet? Many specs are different: 8GB flash NAND (Gpad Gforce) vs 2 GB (Herotab M10), Webcam (only Gpad), different batteries, etc...
How can we be sure that we're not going to brick the tablet if we use Gpad's firmware ?. Btw, there are 2 different firmwares on pandawill forum: one for the original Gpad Gforce that didn't come with Android Market and another one for the new version that comes with the Market. Which would be the right one for the M10?
One last question: is there any other way to install Android Market in the Herotab M10 apart from a new firmware?
Many thanks.

Hi, so you live in Germany, as I do. But I won't buy from Furtwangen, heard to much bad reputation about them. But I also don't want to buy from Pandawill
Have a look at your tablet, does it have 1 or 2 speakers?
From the research i've done so far I believe that there are at least 2 different version out of the device (And I don't mean just the NAND difference). Maybe there is one "original" device and one cheaper copy of it like it is at the Herotab M802..

i have the original one with one speaker on the right side. i know the problems with furtwangen, but its better to buy from germany as from china. If you have a problem with the tablet, you can send it fast back. send back to china costs 40-60€. So have a little bit trouble with furtwangen is better then have much and expensive trouble with china

Well I think I will wait until the PandaWill site is up again, and then maybe wait until I can buy this device from eBay Germany. It's pretty new though so give it a lil bit of time.
But apart from that I'm assuming you don't have the original one, do you? Because the PandaWill's version is sold with a camera...?
Something new about firmware related issues you may or may not have. Again I'm not owning this device ATM so all I'm saying has not been proved by myself.
As far as it looks now the Pandawill company got connections to the producer of this devices. There are 2 version, one "old" GPad which has no official market by stock and has no Gpad logo on the back, and one "new" version of it which has both.
You may check your device and decide whether you got an old or a new version. If you're done checking there are also 1 firmware update for each version available at the Pandawill forum (Please look at the links in the first post).
Further there is another version from a user in the Pandawill forum that he labeled "clean imx515 2.2 froyo build". You may also want to check out this in the first post.
Hope this helps a lil bit.

Ehm.. you may find one, but it won't bring you any further. The developers of this device haven't just removed the Market (vending.apk) for no reason. They did it because there is currently no way to get a Google ID, which is required to use the market. Another apk you would download from the net will end in the same result.
But anyway, haven't you tried some of the firmwares mentioned in the first thread? Because there should be an firmware with working market for both the old and the new gpad version.

Thank you again! I haven't received my tablet yet (and it won't be shipped before Feb 10th because of the Chinese New Year...) so I haven't been able to test anything yet.
In any case I must admit I'm not 100% confident about installing a Gpad Gforce firmware on the Herotab M10. I haven't seen any reference about this procedure and its results anywhere yet and I wouldn't like to be the first to test it with my limited knowledge... It's not a U$100 tablet!
I will keep you updated. Thanks again for your support!

Well, I stil assume both to be the same devices, but of course I don't know it. I don't think that you can constant damage your device because even if they aren't the same they are quite equal. So the firmware bust be quite equal too. The most horrible that could happen is that you won't be able to use your device anymore. Then you would need a HeroTab M10 firmware. But again i'm 90% sure they are the same.
Please send me a link where you bought it.

Hey. I ordered mine from the same site I had to wait 5 days for the item to come into stock..but when it shipped it arrived within 24 hours. The software shows its 4.0.9 and it comes with google play. So far ive managed to install many popular games such as shadowgun and it runs without a hitch. The only problem i have come across so far is that my head candy headphones dont fit in the audio jack

Well its a good thing to know someone on the forum has actually physically got the set.
Its a new one for you, but do you by any chance plan on to do the rooting and customization of ROM/mods as mentioned on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646544&page=140
I know the thread is for HaiPad MTK6575 i9220....however I guess all of us are waiting for any real proof that the mods are working on the MTK6577 version as well ....
So if by chance you plan on doing anything, then please do post the results over here...would be a great help for the guys like me who are waiting to order this set.
Thanks.
I have been looking around for confirmed rooting techniques but haven't come across any yet.
I am really impressed by the speed and responsiveness of the phone so far.

CHANGELOG
./ root permissions
./ HTC style wallpaper/bootanimation
./ add some parameter in the build.prop
./ internal /external storage space exchange
./ battery with % display
./ some tool app
./ disable the home button wake up display function
The custom base on the CWM 5.5.0.4 and correct the fs.tab (MTK6575 / MTK6577 partition number different !)
installation steps
1) flash the custom recovery with "Flash tool" (select the recovery image only in flash tool)
2) keep the volume-up / power button together around 15sec , into the recovery mode
2-1) wipe data/factory reset
2-2) wipe the cache partition
2-3) advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
2-4) install zip from sdcard -> choice the zip from sdcard -> get the correct zip file and press the power button for starting
2-5) reboot system now !
3) Finished !
Have some body know, How about the process for "factory reset" in Official ROM ???
This action should be have some script for it ,right ??? Which / Where is this script ???
Due to Haipai-x710d / STAR-N9770 will kill the /sdcard and /NVRAM partition during "factory reset" , so I think ,maybe the script mistake !!!

I guess /system/bin/factory is a binary executable to process factory reset

That doesn't work. Either you flash an entire (already rooted) firmware, OR you can extract the bootimage from the update.zip, use the Scatter file for flashing the custom recovery and ONLY(!!!!!!) flash the boot image.
And here's a little warning: A factory reset will KILL the phones (both, x710d and N9770) IMEIs!
But if that happens, they can be recovered
I made little "review" videos of these phones to be found on youtube or my blog

I might tend to agree with you. An example of the fakeness is that its got the same processor as the one x yet scores far lesser than the one x.If this continues to hold true might have to go for an xperia L

I just purchased. The Xperia L has lesser Aututu scores though. People were saying Xperia is better and has development. But nonetheless, we should start development for the device.

Already tried a week ago no reply.
I think someone should try customer service number and ask.
Also should mention that if they refuse it is a violation of the gpl licensing terms and a complaint will be filed with the gnu.
any one already with the device can you check wether its got a fastboot bootloader or a custom one.
read some where its got a standard fastboot one.
EDIT : to go into fastboot mode ...
power off the device
press volume up and power key wait till a menu appears.
alternative press power + volume up key for 3 sec then leave power and keep volume pressed till menu appears.
if this works try this command for bootloader unlock.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock

bump hey can you do what i said in my previous post not the bootloader unlock command every thing else please. Dont worry its safe.
I want to purchase this phone.. can anyone already having it could tell me about the pros and cons.. any problems facing with the OS.. Any lag or hang issues?
and what about the battery life.. If anyone can do a quick review, it will be very helpful for me..
I know its specs are impressive but like most domestic companies don't optimize the OS which causes many performance related issues..
Any reply would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance

EDIT: unlock fails. However, there is a recovery which can be achieved by adb reboot recovery command. Will try temp cwm.
EDIT 2: Stock android recovery works. Unable to find a cwm that will boot. sending successful, booting fails. note that i have not flashed cwm but sending. fastboot boot cwm.img
Pro's: Tegra 3 games run awesome. Bechmark awesome. 12k on antutu. Repeated benchmark will reduce score as nvidia chips have a mechanism to reduce heat, overload, it reduces ghz if too much heat/ repeated usage. Good gaming.
Con's: Weaker signal (2g) havent tried 3g. also might be cuz of rain here past few days. Only problem indoor. Outdoor signal is good. GPS locking is bad. Might be also because of rain. not sure. Not FCC certified meaning the radiation levels not tested. Most companies have approved certificates for safe radiation levels. Not sure about XOLO. If 16k is your budget, this would be the only QUALITY handset out there. Rest are all mediatek POOP.
Xolo Plat T1000
Is it safe to assume that this device will ultimately be supported here at XDA (since it is so awesome )? I really want to buy this phone but won't buy unless it can be rooted and custom ROMS are available.

Well, then I will wait for at least a month before I buy a new phone. Right now my HTC One V is doing pretty well with Slim Bean . T1000 is much cheaper than the Nexus.

well you see a developer post here saying Im buying this device and will get a custom rom soon. then you can be assured.
so far from what I see maybe the sp tools(used by all mtd devices) might just not work but thats my guess.
so we need cwm first and then flash any root packages.but so far its all speculations and guess work.

wont work booting woks only with unlocked bootloader you will have to write to the partition.(though that too might be blocked).

[Q] Acer Liquid S1

Hi all,
Since there is still no device specific forum for the Acer Liquid S1.
Me and probably many other people who own this budget 5.7" phablet beast consider this phone as a device that certainly deserves his own forum
Until there is a device specific forum I created this thread so every S1 owner can share tips and questions regarding the Acer Liquid S1 (=S510).
I didn't see any request for a device specific forum, so make sure to request it here:

Haven't seen anyone try it yet - but I'd guess it's done through the standard MTK-procedures? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
Possibly even motochopper that works for the Liquid E2? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604
Hope there will be some dev around this phone too
Agreed and now looking at the details of new Acer Liquid S2 - I feel it definitely deserves it's own section - especially when I compare the specs to the likes of Ultra and Note III a worthy competitor and would like to see some development and discussion on this model.
ps: added a request to create forum - in the new devices section - hope someone does create one and we can see some new development on this

Thats bad news, this is what is holding me off getting it at the moment. I did find a link when searching for a solution that led here :http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2798984876&uk=2318828147 (it is in chinese).
Don't know if it works though, been searching for confirmation of the device rooted but with no luck though.

Thats a shame.
The main reason I need to root initially, is to be able to transfer my files from existing phone. Does anyone know if Helium would enable this ?
If this works, then I don't mind going for this phone, and as long as I can transfer my data, I can hold out for root until hopefully more developers get on board.
Helium could be enough yes. What files exactly do you need to transfer?
Envoyé depuis mon S510
Mainly my game files, well Subway surfers for definite. My apps I can download again from the play store. Of course some games are now connected via G+ sign in, so they are alright, it is just a shame that this feature isn't compulsory on all apps/games. It would make the transition to a new phone easier.
The camera is just of average
Just bought Acer Liquid S1 a couple of weeks ago. Everything works fine except for the camera. With 8MP camera fitted on it, the quality of the picture is just mediocre. The front camera (2MP) is also disappointing, full of noise when it is used indoors. There's no visible notification when the display is off. Therefore, we need to turn on the display to check whether there's a miscall or incoming email or text message.
Is there any way in which I can have root access for this phablet? I have ODIN software installed in my laptop, and I just need a *.tar file special for this product to root it.

@gbas4nie don't use Odin, it's only for Samsung devices....
Edit : And tools are also available on my website : http://acer.shreps.fr
Just moved over from Samsung Note to this phone as it's Dual Sim. Brilliant, as I no longer have to carry two phones with me. Works great. and less than half the price of a Note. I miss the stylus, but apparently a dual sim Note may be coming soon!
Hello, is there any root-guide in english available?

Hi that's strange as the app that flashes will check the ROM version and won't flash if your system is not as expected. Did you use the app ?

Update my phablet BQ Elcano2 (MT8393)

Hi everyone! This is my first post so..first of all I apologize for my grammar, I'm Spanish.
A few days ago I found at home a BQ phablet model Elcano 2 Quadcore. After charging and turning on the device I realized that it currently runs android 4.2.2. I managed to root my device so that I could update it to a more current version of android. The problem comes when I can't find any TWRP recovery or support on Lineage OS.
I have read that you can use the recovery of another device with the same specifications as mine but I have not found anything on the internet either.
Hope you can help me update my phablet. I don't need the latest version of android, by making my device useful I'm satisfied.
I downloaded the Aida64 application to know what processor I have:
MediaTek MT8389
4x ARM Cortex-A7 @ 1508MHz
1Gb Ram
32Gb ROM
7inch
Thanks dudes
