I am still stuck. Flash tool doesn't seem to work on my phone, perhaps because its not a real Zophone but a copy (ALPS version).

Zophone i5 BRICKED, HELP! :"(

Hey guys! I flashed colonel zap's pure android rom for the zophone, and flashed it without the .img for PRELOADER as . Unfortunately, i bricked my phone and all i got was a blank screen with backlight. I couldn't turn it off, nor on. So what i did is i ran down the battery just to get it to power off, then once it did, i plugged it in the PC and flashed the firmware again this time with the PRELOADER. Now my phone won't turn on at all, all i need is a way to get it recognized by my PC again so i can flash my backup of my original rom from MTKDroidTools. Please guys, i really really need your help. :"((
[General Questions and Answers] Chaos Storm:
Ok I finally got my Zophone Clone working 100%. It took allot of work. Google services working, I removed as many of the Chinese apps without bricking the system. I included Offline APN Editor as a system app, so you can find APN by whatever SIM is installed. Because it is a system app ignore any message about ICS, just tell it to apply APN and it will work. Google Keyboard is now the default keyboard.

Yandex Shell is now part of the ROM as before whenever I was testing if my APK installs worked, I noticed the Apple shell would never show me these other apps but as soon as Yandex launched all my apps showed up.

Google Chrome is part of the ROM as well. When you first boot it may take at least 5 minutes as everything loads and yesi, it will be in Chinese. The first thing it will ask is to pick your default launcher. My advice is select the checkbox for default and tap Yandex.

The settings app and a few other key areas still have an iOS skin but these are things I can't or don't want to risk changing at this point.

Now, this CWM backup is about 400MB. Where is a good place to host this file? This is the first time Ive needed to host a file this big.
[General Questions and Answers] trjons:
How about YouSendIt?
[General Questions and Answers] Chaos Storm:
Apparently You Send It has changed names and files over 50MB require membership. I think I will upload to hotfile as I am going to purchase membership there anyways since they have allot of the Samsung firmwares that I use at work.

I just finished upgrading the battery in my Alps clone using a iPhone 4S battery, was worried when it would not turn on but when I got home from work and used the special lightning cable it started charging at 2% so I guess that 4S battery was good and dead lol. Next time I have it open I need to make the wires a bit thinner as one edge of the phone bulges a bit. But all in due time which means once its in a iPhone case and I forget about it...never. ;)

I will post that file next chance I get. To be on the safe side, I will post my hardware info from MKTDroidTools so you can compare with yours (and anyone else)
[General Questions and Answers] jesse_rdz:
Quick question, are any of you able to get 3g network on this phone? I have Tmobile and it only connects to Edge. I have entered into engineer mode and saw that the 1700, 1900, and the 2100 bands are not enabled for WCDMA. Is this the case for all zophone i5s, or are those settings subjective to the sim card you install? Please help.

https://hotfile.com/dl/237835802/d933a69/clockworkmod.zip.html

I'm unable to get device info at this time as my battery failed so I am waiting for a new one. But as long as your two button combo for ClockWork mod works, you should not have an issue.

Please, make a backup in CWM before flashing this backup just in case it does not work, this has saved me before.
[General Questions and Answers] trjons:
I get into CWM, I locate the file and attempt to install the zip but it aborts. Same thing happened with every other CWM file I attempted.
[General Questions and Answers] Chaos Storm:
Sorry my bad. This is not a flashable zip. This is a zipped up backup. Unzip the contents and it should be on your SD Card as:

clockworkmod/backup/datetimeetc

From CWM go to the backup/restore menu and restore from backup.

[General Questions and Answers] Garrafone:
In wich country are you?

I live in Spain using Vodafone network and here 3G is over 2100 and 900, and in big cities i dont have any problem, the phone always connect to 3G over 2100 (i think WCDMA 2000 is in fact the band as we know as 2100, but is only an idea), but in little cities or in rural areas i only have Edge because im not able to connect to WCDMA 900.

I have just made an experiment, i have disabled EGSM 900 in engineer mode under baseband mode and tomorrow i will try because the phone shows WCDMA 900 enabled, tomorrow i can tell you if disabling EGSM 900 is possible to disable Edge and force the phone to connect to WCDMA networks under 900mhz

How to install CWM in the zophone?

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] Chaos Storm:
Hmm. It is possible that the two phones are slightly different. Did you make a CWM backup? If you did you can use the files from my CWM to make yours the same.

You will need root access. You will need Root Explorer and Titanium Backup. Root explorer might be part of your original ROM if you need Titanium Backup you can just grab the app from one of the many download sites.

I am posting this from my phone when I get ob my computer I will give you full directions.

And for other posters this CWM backup is for clones of the Zophone NOT the actual Zophone. Gettibg CWM on these devices is hard due to the closed design. Every clone is different.
[General Questions and Answers] trjons:
A lot of things that weren't working on the stock rom now work so I'm hoping its just an APN issue?
[General Questions and Answers] Chaos Storm:
Your phone may have a different radio/baseband. Will have to find out where that is stored and see if it xan be flashed.
[General Questions and Answers] trjons:
Is that on the screen cap image I have of my Imei, model etc?
[General Questions and Answers] Garrafone:
Due to our baseband, mine allow WCDMA 2000,1900,850,800 and 900

Mine Zophone has MT6628 chipset and i cant find how to change our baseband yet, for devices with chipset MT6620 (oldest version of MT6628) there is an apk to switch basebands, like defy baseband switcher

Maybe in the future a simillar apk will appear, because lot of chinese MTK6577 phones are in stores now with MT6628
[General Questions and Answers] Garrafone:
Nothing, even with EGSM disabled the Zophone is unable to connect to WCDMA GSM 900, it only uses GPRS if Edge disabled

Quita las aplicaciones del system app que has instalado

Métete en aptoide.com, descárgalo e instálalo, busca Google play services e instálalo, y a continuación busca google play y dale a otros repositorios, en la primera página verás que hay uno que pone Play store (4.3.10) con mas de 200k descargas, instálalo

A mí así me ha funcionado y además, tengo acceso a la sincronización de contactos y calendario con la cuenta de google. Lo pongo en inglés porque está prohibido escribir en otros idiomas aquí

Erase system/app files that you have installed, go to aptoide.com and install, search for google play services and install, and then search google play and in other repositories install too, Play Store (4.3.10) with more than 200k downloads

did I brick it ?

Hi, everyone

I'm new here after purchased a zophone i5 pro, it was a great phone

and I rooted it.

after the root, it worked fine, gps and google account didn't work (I was about to look for it)

I deleted some chinese apps.

but when I installed this app SOFTKEY ENABLE PRO

the phone asked to re-boot, so I did

and then it blocks in start-up screen (apple logo) and it just keeps vibrate(1 time, like when you reboot your phone) every 20 seconds

turned if off and turned it on, it keeps showing apple logo for hours now

once it appeared to the wallpaper and a pop-up window says 'luancher has stopped' and 'UI has stopped working' something like that

I clicked OK, and it keeps poping up again and again.

what should I do ? did I just brick my phone (panic mode)

I've tried the 'MoreLocale 2', but nothing changes, I guess that is because the device is not rooted. In "Language & input" appears 'Language - Spanish', but the entire system is still in English.

Sorry to abuse your generosity, you know how to remove applications that come installed on the ROM itself?.

From the store I bought the device has passed me a ROM (MP_mt77_h918_v08s_kaiy_ics_sw_ephone_20130318-184441_zho), you think this ROM will solve anything?

Ya he probado el 'morelocale 2', pero no cambia nada, supongo que es porque no está rooteado el dispositivo. En "Language & input", aparece 'Language - Español', pero todo el sistema sigue en inglés.

Desde la tienda que compré el dispositivo me ha pasado una ROM (MP_mt77_h918_v08s_kaiy_ics_sw_ephone_20130318-184441_zho), tú crees que esta ROM resolverá algo?
