Whoa...this is complicated.

Can I just flash to update firmware without rooting, or CWM, SuperSU or Busybox. Too much information for me. The rest of the things sound "alien" to me. The last thing I want is to "brick" the phone & have no phone to use.

I just want to update to latest firmware to see if wifi issue can be fixed.

Thanks :confused:

Edit: Scratch that...I have a Windows 8 computer and none of the drivers/software will install. The compatibility mode is completely useless because I just cannot install at all so NO WAY to flash or update firmware. I think I'll just return the phone to seller for a refund!

Wifi and pc with windows Xp

Dear Friend,

upgrade is not very complex but you have to change pc ! is preferable to have a pc with windows xp!

As for the WIFI .. I do not think we can do anything!

The Wifi card and 'very poor and I do not send the protocol "N"!

Ringtones

Dear CxCam

i lost a lot of time and reflash two times because i have very fixed with the melodies and ringtones!

I start by saying that with Huawei I lost a lot of time several months to modify and upgrade!

I came across a strange thing! very strange!

Despite having root privileges .. if you touch the melodies and change the system of Zopo 950 changes the parameters of permissions (attributes) rw - xx - xx

and in the end does not recognize the melodies more 'and you reflesh again!

But if you want I'll give you a tip

But in the end I only changed some melodies and I changed the attributes as the original ones and now I have the melodies are identical to the Samsung s3!

But consider that you have to change a tune at a time and you must immediately change the attributes, because if you do not undo the system and even if you see icons do not have more 'note of the music and' as if something changed and the system does not recognizes more '!

If you want you can try!

If you want the melodies of S3 tell me that I put on the forum!

Help! Urgent!

I took the brave step to follow above instructions. Flash was ok and after I press Power button + Vol Up, I got a menu to choose. I didn't understand what you meant by Made a Wipe so I chose Reboot to System (something like this).

Phone boot to system ok. Then I thought your Made a Wipe meant to do Factory Reset. So I went to settings and do reset and erase all data.

Now the phone just get stuck at the Zopo logo and the Android robot animation. They keep flashing & alternating and I can't get into phone.

What did I do wrong???

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sotong33:
I followed all the steps as per the instruction given. Phone flash ok. I press Power Button + Vol Up and the tiny menu appear on screen showing things like "reboot to system", "fastboot", etc. I choose the "reboot to system". Then the phone was ok and turned on. I could get into the main screen and can see the settings, everything, in Chinese. I change the language to English and can see firmware is now 20130107. Very happy at this stage.

Then I remember at the end of the instruction, it says "made a Wipe". I assume "made a Wipe" means "factory reset". So I got to Settings and do a factory reset, choosing to erase storage as well. Then I confirm reset.

Phone goes back to Zopo logo screen and flashes to Android green robot, then zopo logo again, then green robot again. It keeps repeating like this for a long time.

I try to recover by pressing Power Button + Vol Up but this time nothing happens. No menu to "reboot to system". Nothing.

So I remove battery, put it back but did not turn on phone. I decided to re-flash the phone by repeating the flashing instructions. It was successful in flashing but when I press Power Button + Vol Up, no menu to choose. Instead, I get the repeating Zopo logo and the green robot repeating.

Please help...I am very stressed now.

Flash problems

Hey guys,

I have problems to flash the drive. I downloaded the flash tool for JB that is recommend some posts before but I am not able to start a download on the device. The message that is always displayed is "Can´t open Com port". When I did some further investigations on it I saw that the phone is listed in the device manager (of windows 7 and vista). Directly after plug-in it is shortly listed under other devices then it is grayed and the device manager says that the device is not connected anymore :confused:

Hello,

A few questions:

1) Does the ZP950 share the same bootloader/drivers/etc as with the ZP900?

2) Do you think it would be safe to try to flash this ROM on the ZP900?

3) If not, does anyone here know how to use parts of this JellyBean ROM and to cook it with parts from ICS ROM for ZP900?

4) Does anyone know how to get JellyBean on ZP900?

I dont think you will be able to merge the 950 rom to work on your 900, even tho the drivers/bootloader might be the same, the hardware spec (outside of the MTK arm CPU) are different.

Also you will need the source code and recompile it which can be extremely hard for most people.

Thanks for your reply. I'm currently an AT&T customer. Post paid with an iPhone 5. I would be using the phone with AT&T.

I have some questions for you. Where did you get your Zopo 950? If you bought it online, what site, and did you have any fees or taxes to pay when it arrived? Also I was under the impression that I'd be using the 850 mhz band, not 800. And I also thought this would allow for 3G speeds and not HSPA+. (Or maybe 3G HSPA is just 3G?) Also how do you like the phone and have you had any issues? Sorry for all the questions but I really appreciate your answers. Thanks.
