Fashion forward :):

LED round batteries http://files.china-iphone.ru/618circle_battery.zip (ZP100 20,120,608 for the firmware-154131_PC) without a nucleus

Thank you for Serehe sources from the new firmware patch!

"

BTW, my gps is very slow in locking, i hv enabled the gps.config from zopo tools, still its very slow.

I found some fix in iphone.ru site, but it looks like it was b79 phone, need to download gpssetup2.apk and any_cut.apk, am not getting that post :(.

I tried on zp100, gpssetup2.apk didnt install :( .

Do u also hv gps locking issues ??

TPSparkyRoot works fine on zp100. The only proviso is that you install pdanet from junefabrics (make sure it is correct version for your pc os and follow directions to install phone and drivers. There is no need to install pdanet on the phone itself. Pdanet should be a pc system startup item. The problem most people have is that they do not wait long enough when the phone reboots to press enter again when using TPSparkyRoot. The best time to press enter after the phone reboots is when pdanet recognizes the phone is connected (you will get a pdanet popup). The phone has to reboot several times so be patient. You will have full root if you do it correctly. The other root.bat file I first tried went through the same processes. TPSparkyRoot is the program that Zopo provide for rooting the phone so you have to presume it works and it does.
[Android General] Waxwrong:
I decided to upgrade to the second ics 4.03 and replaced the recovery.img (see first post) for cwm recovery and everything worked fine. What amazes me is the host of methods used to get to recovery. Once the phone is rooted you only need to install the small app from playstore called 'reboot recovery'. Instead of pressing combinations you just press the icon on screen and it will reboot to recovery (will, of course, ask for su permissions the first use). I have just used it and it rebooted to cwm recovery and I made a backup of everything on the phone in it's present state. The backup will appear in a new folder on your sdcard called 'clockworkmod' and can be restored again using cwm recovery.

PS: I use reboot recovery app on all my android devices, it is much easier than using combinations of hardware buttons.
[Android General] jbctiong:
The B79 Power_menuFix zip does not work on my zopo100 initially. It is after I replaced the system.ui n system.odex extracted from a working rom then it works. Btw, I am running on the original 0511, 4.0.3 base ROM and not the 0608ROM.

I don't prefer the new 0608 with bigger data size as I do not require it. Any excess storage space left in the big data partition cannot be used freely.

GPS is one of the problem point with zopo100. Though I am able to locate position quite fast after the first initialisation attempt which took a longer time, in actual working condition it tends to drift to nearby lane quite often. But again what can you expect from a cheap phone. After all , zopo100 is a value for money buy besides some minor shortfalls.

You may try the ROM listed in my previous posting as it is at least a stable ROM to me. Most of the require functions are working fine in this ROM including market fix.

Do not upgrade the Google Maps with navigation support attached if your country is not under the supporting list. You will lost the Navigation function.

Regarding the download, I would suggest you to register to download and remove the account if you dun feel like it after that. No harm done.

The Rom is too big for me to upload again to another link, sorry abt that.

Happy playing!;)

May I check with you what are the size of the boot.img and recovery.img in your CWM backup folder? Is it 1KB each or more? Thank you.
[Android General] hanu_blr:
It has a drawback, check my previous posts, i update power+battery fix thorugh CWM recovery, then rebooted, it got struck at zopo logo, now there is no way to recover it back w/o flashing the whole image again. If it was possible to to get into CMW by physical key combination, i would hv easily put back the files, which were replaced by the power+battery fix(assuming i hv all the original file on sd card). this would hv saved me frm re-flashing the entire img again.

Ofcouse i could hv backedup my entire system b4 flashing, but sometimes u may need to clear dalvic cache if u cant boot, then u hv to reflash..

I did try the physical key combi, but no luck :(

gps config fix

I tried this gps.config file frm http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630 for my region 'asia' and copied it to /systest/etc/gps.config and set the permission rw-rw-rw. Did a reboot and used gps test app, it locked within 10sec :D Previously it use to take very long time to lock after a reboot.

Or u can flash it using CWM recovery.

Hope its helpful for other ppl :laugh:

Note: internet was not enabled while gps test was run.

[Android General] pbezza:
Finally, a B79 owner with the same (or similar) problem.

Are you saying that neither the flash nor notification LED work?

My LED flash works although it's not all that bright and even less bright when using LED torch apps. My notification LED doesn't work at all. Occasionally when I turn the phone on, I notice that the notification LED is very, very dimly lit.

I receive a new Zopo ZP100 for a friend with official 4.0.3.

I don't see big differences between 2.3.6 and ICS except the merge of SDcard and memory

NO time to test Flash, and GPS today

To root official 4.0.3 is the first post method ok ?

Must i replace recovery.img by the one in the first post before rooting ?

Recovery Fix?

For those who haven't got CWM Recovery working, try the attached recovery.img file. I extracted it from my B79 (with a script) which had CWM Recovery working. To prove that it would work, I flashed a non rooted and non CWM Recovery B79 and ZP100 ROM to my B79 then flashed the attached recovery.img file and CWM Recovery worked on both ROMs. I will stay on the ZP100 ROM for now as it is working fine for me.

You will still need root access to boot into CWM Recovery but it is not necessary to root phone before flashing recovery.img first. It doesn't matter if you flash the recovery.img file before or after rooting.

The recovery.img is 6.144MB instead of the usual 4.118MB.

Let me know if it works for you.

I cannot root my Zopo with 4.0.3 Official

Don't know what to do

When i use the procedure from post #1 i have in the dos windows "device not found" for etape 1, 2 , 3

- all drivers are installed

- usb debogging is checked (but no checked it is the same)

- my phone is recognised as Android Phone> Android Composite ADB Interface in Windows XP

Why cannot root ?

I already installed your recovery.img but before it was the same. Impossible to root

Where do you see htis 17july update. In official zopo website i no see such update:(
[Android General] pbezza:
Can't Get Root Access - Try This

I think I may have discovered why some people can't root their phone.

1. Enable USB Debugging and connect phone to PC.

2. Drag down the 'status bar' and select 'Connected as USB Storage - Touch for other USB options' (assuming that's what is displayed for this to be a potential fix).

3. Select 'Media device' (status bar will display 'Connected as a media device').

4. Run the 'Root Program' again.

Before running the root program you can test if it is going to talk to your phone by bringing up a command prompt and changing directory to where the root program is located along with 'adb.exe'. Type: adb shell

You should be greeted with 'shell@android:/ $'

(type 'exit' to exit or press 'Ctrl c')

If it says 'error: device not found' it possibly means you haven't selected 'Media Device' and the phone is still connected as 'USB Storage'.
[Android General] hideki_:
backread some post on previous page. not sure if its legit, but thinking of an update is a relief.
[Android General] carabaothai:
- i connect as media device, windows recognise ok

- i enable usb debugging

but nothing

i type adb shell but i still have error: device not found':crying:

Must i flash again without your recovery image ?

????

Thanks
[Android General] pbezza:
Requiring power is definitely the key. I got the 'power and volume up' combination to work a couple of times and was wondering why it wasn't working any more. I had the phone plugged into power via PC usb when it worked! Just double checked it would work plugged into wall socket power supply without PC. IT WORKS! This key point would have been handy to know on a few occasions already.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

Now that you have selected 'Media device', see if you need to install another driver in 'device manager'.

Having the recovery.img flashed won't affect the funcionality so you can leave it there.
[Android General] carabaothai:
i have already installed and now i see :

Portable device > ZP100 (ok, no red or yellow flag)
[Android General] pbezza:
Try the drivers that get installed with the app 'Android PDA Net' listed in post #286 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28948603&postcount=286

I installed that app just to see what it would do even though I had no issues. The phone appeared in device manager differently after this but all driver support was still there. Thank hanu_blr if it fixes your problem.
[Android General] carabaothai:
All was ok with device manager but .. i restart my computer and Rooting was possible ! :) Miracle of computers !

I have 2 ZP100 : 1 with 2.3.6 and 1 with 4.0.3.

But is there a big difference ?

I no use a lot but it seems very similar no ?

Is there something better, something very important that i don't know that i haven't seen to flash the one with 2.3.6 to new 4.0.3

2.3.6 works good except flash light.

Thanks for help and patience

Other problem : since i flash the ZP100 i no have te APN !

Black screen. nothing to see like if i would take pictures in black room without lights

Has anybody had same problem ?

WHen i receive this new phone (wiht ICS too) the APN worked.
[Android General] hideki_:
this might be a very noob question but how do I replace my recovery.img with that?

I had tried using zopo tools, my device is already rooted and has supresu already. loaded the recovery.img file on sdcard root and then used the zopo tools apk to flash it on. not sire if it worked after the reboot. I just feel its still on stock recovery. pleade enlighten. thanks
[Android General] Firestarter_nl:
I've got the same problems as described. Im losing signal from both sims very often. Theres no problem when i disable data, so its got something to do with 3G connection. It just says "restricted acces changed" and both sims go down for a few minutes. Hope this and the useless gps get fixed soon. :rolleyes:

I've got the pilot version btw.

I have no Camera working on the new ZP1OO (with only one button on the right no video switch)

Sometimes the application start but i have nothing on the screen - black (like a sticker on the lens :(

I try other applications it is the same : black or freeze

I try directly from the right photo button but nothing happens

I had camera working, if i remember good, when i received it yesterday, but since i flash again. Nothing.

Does somebody had the same problem ? A solution ?

Thanks
[Android General] pbezza:
For you, what does APN stand for? As far as I know, it only stands for 'Access Point Name' but it sounds like you are having problems with your camera and capacitive buttons? I just realised that my home button doesn't work but that is probably due to me using a ZP100 ROM on my B79.
[Android General] MrGaryLim:
you have to press on the left top of the home button to get it work. the alightment is slight out.

build prop

@pbezza,

1. Just rebooting the device, eats up 1 or 2% of battery juice, i found this ro.init.screen_brightness=255 in build.prop, I reduced it to 25 or so, i didnt see any brightness diff of the LCD

2. Are there different lockscreen ? curlockscreen=1 in build.prop looks like its screen lock option. changing it to different values 1-12, shd change lockscreen, but i didnt see any diff,

did u try any of these ?
[Android General] pbezza:
1. I have always assumed that the phone lies about the battery percentage. When I charge the phone to 100% and immediately reboot, it shows 93% and another reboot shows 89%. If I charge the phone to 100% straight after this then reboot again, the battery is back to 93% again. Disabling 'quick boot' in - settings - accessibility - allows the phone to turn off completely preventing battery drain whilst off.

If you want to change the screen brightness, make the changes in - settings - display - brightness. Why were you trying to change this in build.prop?

2. Change the screen lock in - settings - security - screenlock. There aren't as many options as cyanogen mod but there is probably a way to add more with CWM Recovery.
[Android General] hanu_blr:
1. Agreed, for screen brightness, i can change in settings and in fact am using the auto brightness economy patch fix from ru forum.

My idea was to limit the screen brightness to low while booting, no real use in seeing a very bright screen with zopo log :) i found that disabling boot animation in build prop made the screen brightness setting effective.

Trying to save battery juice for unnecessary things.

2. was expecting some hidden screenlock :D
[Android General] pbezza:
Fair enough. It is unecessarily bright during boot up. I will look into patching the kernel boot screen with a custom dark image.

[Android General] Firestarter_nl:
Its definitely a software problem. Ive downgraded to GB 2.3.6, and there a no problems whatsoever.

Current ICS rom is just not stable (enough).
[Android General] hendrojo:
How do I downgrade tl Gingerbread? I received the phone with ICS out of the box. Faced with similar issues here: camera works, but I cannot do anything with the setting. And the result is far from good. GPS works sometimes. Play Store says that certain apps are not compatible with the device.

So I guess downgrading it would the best solution for now. At least until there's a stable update is available. Jelly Bean hopefully.

Any suggestions?

[Android General] hugo81:

How can i do a full backup of my rom?!

Because im a newb here i cant post direct links but i used the guide on colonel zap's blog. Just google it.

I used the ROM with the name MP_MT75_h932_h5500_zwx_20120419-203646_ZYQ_PC. You'll find it with google as well.

I didnt make a backup of my ICS rom because i didnt need that. I did backup my IMEI which is highly recommended to do because it gets erased when flashing a new rom on the device.

ics official update

can anyone get the 3g working? its not working in canada, I can only get it connected.to 2g.

also anyone update to ics official update? maybe someone can write up a tutorial?
[Android General] vzzoli:
@ cactuz: Ok, thanks. Yes, the camera mode switcher works normally.

Finally the ADB driver problem solved. After i flashed the ROM, it found an unrecognized MTP device in USB debugging mode as i wrote earlier.

I clicked next, it couldn't find the proper driver, but after i closed this window, it found and installed HTC Dream ADB driver. I could root it with the fix that you posted.

After I set the IMEI I started to customize it and install apps.

There is an update pack on zopo offical site what contains official 4.0.3 ROM, Flash drivers, Flash utility, Serial number utility and guide to flashing, IMEI restore, etc. in pdf format.

The guides are chinese but all of them full of screenshots so relatively easy to follow steps.

My opinion is the official way to restore IMEI is complicated, so if somebody decide to update the 4.0.3 ROM, i suggest to restore IMEI that way as cactuz wrote.

The ROM version:

Android version: 4.0.3

Baseband version: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V13, 2012/04/18 13:51

Kernel version: 3.0.13 user@linux-user #1

Build number: ZP100 20120510-110347

Experiences:

As i wrote this is the (almost) same ROM as B79.

- When i connect to the computer it find a B79 media device.

- In default i cannot attach to the computer as usb mass storage.

- Bluetooth, Wifi, Data connection, Camera works well.

- I haven't tested the GPS yet. When i enable it, i can enable GPS EPO and A-GPS functions. In the 2.3.6 ROM wasn't A-GPS menu item.

- Entering the menu and icons drawing slower than 2.3.6

- The browser much faster than 2.3.6

- The battery drains faster than 2.3.6

- After every restarts it forgets the local and keyboard settings, and set back to default

- The ROM doesn't contain Google Maps and Youtube apps. If i look for them, the Play Store doesn't appear hits (for example: google maps, fancy widgets). When yes, it said the app doesn't compatible with the phone. I had to download the apk, and install manually. After install they work perfectly.

- The free memory amount is depending of the installed apps, but i have the same size of free memory like on 2.3.6. ~155Mb

- The CWM recovery can't mount /cache/recovery. Can't backup the ROM with this method.

- The CPU tuner apps doesn't support this hardware (on 2.3.6 neither)
[Android General] cactuz:
Good to hear you got things working vzzoli.

Could you check if any of these apps are compatible for you in Play Market?

Snowstorm Weather Widget

[Android General] vzzoli:
Hi noobkidd,

3G problem:

- check your sim card because just the upper sim slot supports 3G. If you inserted the other one, it will work only on GSM.

- Check the settings. Is the wcdma enabled?

- the phone supports 850Mhz and 2100Mhz 3G networks. Check your operators frequency

Maybe if i have free time, i translate the official description
