Thanks for that. I have been using the guide that was postedearlier, although in that I can see the process for GB->ICS, for GB->GB and for ICS->ICS...I don't see ICS->GB mentioned. Anyway I have the ROM, drivers and Flash Tool (its what I tried) - but I haven't tried re-installing the driver, I will do that and follow your reboot phone/PC advice next - hopefully with better results. thanks again.

Is this LED patch of ISC working for you? No luck for me :(

I'm on Star B79
[Android General] pbezza:
I didn't test it as the Taiwan ROM fixed the LED flash brightness for me. I posted the link to provide a fix for those who aren't using the Taiwan ROM. Sorry it doesn't work. Is it brighter when used in torch apps? My notification LED is still not working.
[Android General] Waxwrong:
I didn't have either of these problem but my ics firmware was basically stock from zopo. Gingerbread was fine with the LED and sdcard mount.

[Android General] spec0071:
Sorry, not using torch apps...
[Android General] pbezza:
If the patch is the same as what is uncluded in the the Taiwan ROM, there might be a way to enable the Bright LED mode? Every time I have reflashed the Taiwan ROM on my phone, the LEDs are dull when used with my favorite torch app. When I use the LED torch app that is included in the Taiwan ROM I notice that the LEDs are super bright. After using that app, the LEDs become super bright in my favorite torch app as well.

The included LED torch app might be the enabler?

Has somebody a file name like .thumbdata4--1967290299 (or other number) in DCIM/Thumbnails folder of sdcard ?

I have one of 1,3 or 1,4 GB or more. This file take all the free place of the sdcard and it is impossible to save anything on the sdcard

I must erase it but it comes back quickly.

What is this file ? How can i erase it definitively ?

Thanks
[Android General] Waxwrong:
Hi Mate

The DCIM folder is normally associated with pictures/photos so if you have lots of pictures you will have lots of thumbnails which go in this folder. It can't be erased but can be reduced in size by deleting some of your images and then deleting all the thumbnails in the folder. The DCIM folder will regenerate the thumbnails of the current (remaining) images as you use them. I am afraid to say that the more thumbnails generated, the larger your DCIM folder will become. You cannot delete this folder (it will re-generate) but you can delete all it's contents. Unfortunately, also, the thumbnails will re-generate and populate the DCIM folder again. The only way to effectively reduce it's size is to reduce the number of image files you have on your sdcard. I don't know what the .thumbdata folder is but it has to be associated somehow with the thumbnails. I have checked 3 phones and none of them have a sub-folder called .thumbdata in the DCIM folder. The size is also very large for thumbs and I think you will have to go through all your apps and try to find which app is generating this sub-folder.

Sorry I cannot help more.

I have downloaded the Thai Rom, because I also have the gps problem on my B79. What do I use for a scatterfile for this Rom in the SP flashtool? Or do I just use Rom manager?
[Android General] pbezza:
You need to flash the .zip file with CWM Recovery. Flashtool is only required for the firmware files.
[Android General] a3onflux:
Thought as much. I hope it will improve the GPS reception. Thanks!
[Android General] jopereira:
I have a x310e but the problems seems to be the same...

I get good reception, good and fast fix but navigation gets messed up somewhere while driving - like I'm somewhere else in the vicinity. That seems to happen more often when GPS signals get weak (tall buildings, etc). I can drive 5-10km with that bad GPS positioning, in good reception areas :confused:
[Android General] Skorp:
This is related to the mtk chipset, possibly hardware related.

To get better reception for gps without being inaccurate, disable gsm, wifi and bluetooth.

[Android General] pbezza:
Can you provide links to the page with the details about the ROM. I have a feeling that a link to that ROM has already been provided.

On a sepperate note

GPS Fix

I am currently trying this GPS fix http://derekgordon.com/gps-files/agps.patch.asus.prime.build.v1.0.zip which can be applied with CWM Recovery. The file is from the Asus Transformer Prime page but I couldn't see anything within the files that was specific to that device and it also appears to be a universal GPS fix - currently compatible with many phones. If you have any concerns about applying this with CWM Recovery, you can patch manually (as I have) and set permissions to 644. I haven't fully tested the difference with GPS acquisition however it got an extremely accurate GPS fix (within a few metres) in less than 10 seconds whilst I was sitting inside my house. My phone has never been this accurate.

For me, GPS is really fast on 3G. While using WiFi its so quick!

Face Unlock is working well. Also Email app.

Looks like this ROM is taken from the original Star B79 dated 2012-07-07.#

Try it! :)
[Android General] jbctiong:
This is a custom ROM modified from STAR B79-0707ROM by Johny Hung. Thanks Johny for sharing.

I'm using it now, so far so good. You may like to try it.

There are some useful applications attached and busybox is pre-installed.

You may need to flash the original B79 4.0, 575MB data ROM first b4 flashing this ROM with CWM Recovery.

The disk configuration is for 575MB Data and 2.23GB SDcrad2. It is Not suitable for 2.5GB Data configuration.

Mine is much less accurate than my Galaxy Mini where I typically get 4m precision.

With my x310e I get (many times) 20m-50m precisions which is enough for highways but impossible to navigate in the city.

In the same place, my x310e fix more satellites than my Galaxy Mini (sometimes I get 4-5 in GM and 8-9 in x310e!!).

What is your GPS precision? (GPS status, Aura and other softwares give you that number)

CWM Recovery

Flash the recovery.img file I attached in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29233113&postcount=344

Replace the original recovery.img file with the one above (backup your original). Launch flastool, select scatter file and deselect all files except for recovery.img. Click download to flash file. Ignore warnings.
[Android General] NHS2008:
Thank you for your reply, But I have already did it.

I used a recovery.img I found on a russian site and then used a tool called MobileUncleTools from market, which has an option called 'Update Recovery'. Now I can backup from CWM Backup manager!

I have still some questions though..

Has it actually patched the Recovery.img or is it running from SD card?

Also I have noticed that CPU is set to Performance mode which really reduced the battery life, I tried setting it to 'Ondemand' and reduced the Low freq, but then Phone becomes unstable, restarts and apps start freezing and hanging..Is there any solution to it. Also phone often won't go into deep sleep mode, which also leads to severe battery drain. Any way to make phone more stable in 'ondemand' governor??

Thank you!

[Android General] NHS2008:
This device seems exactly the same as Zopo ZP100 or B79 or Ihtc...So in essence it should be compatible.

About the undervolting.

I have changed the governor from 'performance' to 'ondemand' using SetCPU but the phone starts frezing, hanging, restarting.

So I have set it to underclock only when the screen is off and Not in call. So When nothing is running it will clockdown to 166 mhz.

With that I can manage around 24 hours with moderate usage.

Wake locks are an issue as well. Especially Leds Wakelock which is randomly triggered and will not let the phone go into 'deep sleep'.

I have mailed Zopo team about it. Hope to hear from them soon.
[Android General] sas007:
Thanks for that,there is no forums for hero h5500 i need/want to do back up nandroid would be good if i can flash in zopo100 custom recovery.

so was wanting to know if its been done..i am happy to experiment to the hills as long as i have a back up.
[Android General] NHS2008:
Download an app called 'Mobileuncle Tools' from market. Then use following file

and paste it to your Sd card's root and then select the option from mobileuncle tools to 'update recovery'.

Worked like a charm for me.

If you have Root Explorer and Super User apps listed then it's rooted or you can use 'Root Checker' from Play Store.

[Android General] HyperEscape:
Hello ,

Since there is not much help otherwise, I am asking here because you have restored the IMEIs.

I am using and have rooted an unbranded brother of ZOPO ZP900 mobile , this step brother is called Hero H9500+ with the same specs (apparently to my knowledge) as of the branded ZP900.

This is further confirmed as I have flashed the branded ZP900 modified ROM over it (removing chinese apps and adding CWM recovery) and it is working just fine, guess maybe like the original ZP900 is supposed to be.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31831839&postcount=35

But I noticed that after flashing the Zopo ROM, my IMEI numbers are not the same as it is printed on the back of the mobile. Maybe it took the IMEI of the ZOPO mobile for which or from which the ROM was extracted.

Being a dual SIM mobile it has two IMEI numbers. However if you go in the system settings, about phone, menu then it only shows the IMEI of the first SIM, is this normal and the same with your original ZOPO ZP100 mobile too.?

I did write down my original IMEI numbers and tried using the zopo IMEI tool apk app from zopo website. But I guess it doesn't work with the hero reborn even with a zopo ROM. Whenever I try to read or write the existing or original IMEI on this app it always fails.

So is there any easy way to restore the original IMEIs of the phone after flashing the ROM.? Does your manual command line method explained in the first post work with Hero H9500+ as well.

Thanks for any response and guidance.
