You have flashed the recovery image that has emmc disabled. Just flash the one that is on my Dev-Host area (see link in post #2) and you're good to go.

OK. i downloaded "V970 CWM Recovery V6.0.1.2.7z" and flash MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt through SP Flash tool with marked the first two squares and the recovery square, and after restart still there is no internal sdcard... what im doing wrong???

Ok, i try to flash MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt from "V970 CWM Recovery V6.0.1.2.7z" only with Recovery square marked and again there is no internal sdcard :(

what im doing wrong? can i fix this?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
You know what you did wrong? You didn't read the first posts carefully. :silly:

It seems you have blindly applied mod from post #4 without knowing what you're doing. If you want to revert to stock you have to reflash the stock files (MBR and MBR1) which can be found under "stock partitions" folder.

Hi,

I've two MK6575 phones and none of them has good GPS reception.

They both fix very well (fast), capture many satellites (7-9) but too much meters in accuracy meter... 50-30m are frequent.

My Galaxy Mini goes down to 3-6m easily, in same conditions.

How good is this phone both in ICS and JB?

[ZTE Grand X V970] tlac:
not too good, mine

if the software works correctly, no difference between ICS and JB

I didn't move. If the agps (or epo) works correctly, it will quickly enough connect to satellites and after it's approximately the best accuracy that I can reach, needed some minutes for it. If I start to move it, it will loose some accuracy.

Has anyone compared ICS camera to JB camera?

Does the image quality is better on ICS? or the quality is average on both?

if someone can upload photos that compares ICS to JB it would be great!!

thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] pkubko:
And this should be the answer?

A clever developer could take JB 4.1.2 from another MT6577 phone and port it to V970.

By the way, I use Lewa ROM a few weeks and I think this is the best ROM for V970.

Fast, stable, with lots of cool improvements.

A constantly developed.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Of course that should not be the answer... but you got it all wrong. What I said was that Lewa OS is not a pure Android UI (read my post).
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Please re-read Bruno's answer.

Im porting two roms to our ZTE v970, and both are based on 4.1.2 Android JB

Based = its not 100% an v. 4.1.2 android version.

Ex: Not all .apk's are 4.1.2 JB, some are 4.1.1

Best regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
Tap the phone to focus!

No need to compare, there is no camera quality specific update in JB, so how would it improve? It's Jelly Bean not Magic Beans. :good:

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

That sounds lovely, enjoy your superior ROM, makes you wonder though... why come here begging for 4.1.2 when you are already so happy with someone else's ROM :rolleyes:

Hello,

I have used 3.1 version during 5 months and now 1 month on the 1.1 R2 but i have an issue with both rom, since some weeks now, my phone shutdwon without reasons. When i restart it if i put my pin code it shutdown direct i have tried with other sim and so on, same issue. Only if i'm on sector no issue.

Most of times my batterie is still charged at least 60% when it's arrive but that happens also just after plug off battery. If i try to call, shutdown if i activate 3G sometimes shutdown. Always related to an action on the first sim card (with different sim also) do ypou think than it could be a battery problem or it's the phone ?

It's intermittent.

With both roms

With any sims

With any level of battery charge

Always after an action on first sim place (receive call sms or activate 3g, or simply call)

never when plug in to sector

possibility :

battery

sim place (phone replacement)

humidity or temperature

Could i activate some logs to debug or a specific apply ? (if possible to provide some tuto it's beautiful because i'm not an expert)

An hight thank you at everyone could help me or redirect me

and always thank's to bruno for it's great rom !

[ZTE Grand X V970] XxMaRCoRexX:

I might have problems with other rom in the future?

if I change rom different from yours through sp flash tool I have problems?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
You don't have any problem, unless you flash a wrong preloader. Whenever you want to go back, you can flash stock ROM via SP Flash Tool.

Skype problem...

Hello I have the ZTE v970 with V1.1R2MOD ROM and I have problem with skype. I can not signing in, I am giving the skype account details and the skype application stays at “signing in”. I have delete the skype data, I have reinstall the skype application and the same.

Is there any known issue with V1.1R2MOD ROM and Skype?

Thank you in advance!
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
I had the same problem last week, 2 days later it fixed itself. I didn't do anything special to make it work again which suggests to me that it's a problem with Skype internally and not so much the app itself.

After setting the MTK Engineering mode --> Hardware Testing --> Audio --> to Max Vol 160 . At first everything was all right (the speaker volume not high.. but bearable) Now, after 3 months of use it started today to be heard like distorted & scratchy. So I guess the speakerphone is not blown. Be careful with this setting!! Is anything I can do to save the speaker now? :confused:

Same here. My earphone stopped working at all after I played with those settings. After I solved the problem, I have not ever use the secret menu and I've never had problems. For this reason I use ICS (on Jelly Bean the sound is very low and I miss calls).

I don't understand why you think those things in connection. Maybe you just accidentally hit the speaker and that caused the scratchy voice.

I have also tweaked those volume settings under engineering mode and it still works fine, no damage whatsoever. I won't say it is related or not, but the fact is that there are several warnings about the hidden engineering mode.

Stuck green android

Hey guys.

I got 2 V970 phones.

The first one working great 3 months with bruno ICS.

the second phone arrived about a week ago, i installed bruno JB and today the battery was dead(0%), after charging it wont boot, even not boot to recovery.

ITS stuck on green android see picture:

http://i.minus.com/iPbh4BYc7rpcI.jpg

Can someone please help me and tell me what i should do?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Simple, just flash full stock ROM (get the link from post #3) to recover from that bootloop and then re-install the custom ROM you want.
[ZTE Grand X V970] averaraz:
Thanks Bruno,

1) flash stock rom - phone boot again!

2) flash recovery

3) flash your ICS
[ZTE Grand X V970] liorreem:
Hi

After the repartition procedure (4th post), I tried to re-flash the ROM from recovery, but got an Error - can't mount /sdcard/

Now I can't flash anything because I can't see the internal sdcard. :crying:

What should I do?

Thanks!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Do you know what is the purpose and the consequences of applying the mod from post #4? Obviously, internal sdcard is not accessible anymore...
[ZTE Grand X V970] liorreem:
Aham........ so there is no turning back from this mode using only internal card? I guess not.

So How can I flash again the ROM as instructed?

Only by adding an external sd card, copying the ROM on it and flashing from it?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
There is a turning back, if you want you can flash stock partitions and you can have internal sdcard again.

If you want to have the extended userdata partition, you should copy the update.zip to the external sdcard and install it from there. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] liorreem:
Copy and glash update.zip that is on the internal sdcard?

what it includes?

The guide said to flash the ROM again.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Sorry, I don't understand what you wrote, but I will rephrase it: after applying the mod, you must re-install the custom ROM, so copy it to the external sdcard and proceed with the installation through recovery mode.

[ZTE Grand X V970] jeslun:
Hello,

My problem is that the phone turns off at specific areas and only when I use it (if it's in my pocket with screen turned off everything's fine til I get out of the "danger zone"). If the phone turns off I can start it up again but it shuts off shortly after aquiring network again, it seems the only way to get it working again is to plug in charger (atleast that's how I've solved it so far. If I set it to airplane mode or turn off datatrafic it does not turn it seems like (haven't tried it all that many times). I'm not sure but it could be related to low reception.

It seems like it could be when it's trying to change masts. Strange thing is that sometimes it does not shut off (in the "danger zones") and sometimes it does. More strange is that if I don't use it and travel through the zones it's fine when I get out of the zone.

Any ideas on this? Any logs or such that I could provide and in that case where and how do I get them?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Sentrax123:
Hello bgcngm, I have a question.

I've installed MTK6577 drivers, flashed CWM recovery image to my V970M, and when I try to get to recovery mode, i get my stock recovery instead of CWM. What am I doing wrong? I couldn't find the answer in the forum.:(
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Okay, are you sure it is being flashed successfully? Do you get the green circle popup on SP Flash Toll at the end of the process? If so, make sure that you boot immediately into recovery mode and, in case you don't want to flash any custom ROM, disable stock recovery flash when you reboot into system. CWM will present you that option. ;)

If you are still using stock ROM, during the boot process there is a script that checks if stock recovery is installed. If that's not the case, it will overwrite any custom recovery you may have flashed in the meanwhile.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Sentrax123:
Yes, at the end of flashing processs, it gave me a green circle (as much as I remember) and it said: download OK! . So I've turned on my ZTE, open up the app drawer, there was no CWM. That's okay, I turned phone off, janked off the battery, put it back in, pressed vol up and power , and it booted up in stock recovery mode... And one more question, when i connect my turned off phone, it detects my MTK drivers in device manager, but after 4 seconds it disconnects and it won't show any MTK drivers installed in device manager. :'(
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
So, there you have. I have already explained what happened. :cowboy:

What where you expecting to find on the app drawer? You are installing a recovery, not an application. ;)

That's perfectly normal.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Sentrax123:
So, I should try flashing again, but after that immediately reboot into recovery mode , right?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yes, exactly as I told you: if you are not planning to install any custom ROM right now, enter recovery mode and, once you choose to reboot into system, CWM recovery will show you a menu where you must select "disable recovery flash"... or else stock recovery will override it again after boot.

Hi, Bruno,

Please tell me is it problem to install your ROM (for example 3.1) to such a phone?

It seems quite common, bought today here in China from jd.com / 360buy.com, advertised with 1 GB RAM but I see only 512 MB.

(It was 699 Yuan / 115 USD only, cheap enough, as a gift.)

Phone death after night charging

Dear all,

I have the last question on advanced users here at forum. I had fully working phone last night. I put it into a charger (PC USB) and morning the phone was death.

1. I tried to start it with power button - nothing.

2. Battery out, still nothing. The phone stack on ZTE logo and I can't enter recovery or service mode.

3. I tried SP Flash tool - detection of the phone OK, but it couldn't be flashed (see attached file)

Do you have some other ideas what to do with such a death phone? R.I.P.

[ZTE Grand X V970] Sentrax123:
No. It's not fake. There are lots of ZTE v970 models which comes with different backcover text. For example , "ZTE", "ZTE with chinese symbols" ,"China Mobile" . Some doesn't even have any symbols or text on the backcover. It depends where you bought your phone. If you don't like your "China Mobile" text , buy another backcover on ebay or somewhere else and put it on, hehe.
