[MENTION=2666341]washere[/MENTION], Thank you for your reply on Zopo forum, even though I've later gone through the whole thread here after posting. Saw what you wrote. Expanded memory stays then.:)

Can you please answer to my "bonus question" from above -- How do you boot into Recovery (TWRP) when phone is off?

What's next?

Now when I'm done with upgrading to Dezmen's ROM and have my memory expanded to 2,49GB, what else should be tweaked as

a must

or highly recommended?

1) GPS fix?

- ZP980 How to get faster FIX position | GPS (EPO) + FasterGPS: http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/thread-474-1-1.html

- Patch Final after the fix 3G: http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/thread-208-1-1.html

2) Stock Power widgets replaced

- To be replaced with Power Toggles (or similar) for more customization.

3) Backup tools

- Nandroid backup app or TWRP or Titanium backup, as you described here: http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=777&pid=7151&fromuid=21903

- App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore&hl=en

What else? :)

Battery problems

I have Dezmen's ROM, battery was on 5%, I switched the phone off and put it into charger for the night. In the morning LED light was telling it's full, when I turned it on: battery on 4% and beeping! I connected the phone to the charger again, restarted the phone and then it was on 96% and LED was green, showing not charging any more (to 100%).

Russian? -- Edit: SOLVED by reinstall everything from the scratch

After doing the pretty same routine on the another C2, App menu has Russian letters. Yes, I switched to English in Languages and keyboard, everything is in English except this -- why is that? Should I flash again Dezmen's ROM? On my other C2 this was in English, after following the same procedure.

TWRP looks different -- Edit: SOLVED by same reinstall without memory explansion; TWRP looks normal

After flashing memory expansion mod, TWRP looks different, it's not colorful as it used to be. Is that because of this mod?

Please help if you can! :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wozhere:
I answered some of your questions on zopo, see there.

Booting into recovery (CWM/TWRP) from off w/ volume rocker neverworked for c2 for me, just get quickboot i linked in zopo in reply to you.

battery probs? get a good task killer pro & more importantly set it up optimum

gps etc i ansered on there too

he made twrp black & white for latest version, i liked the color better but this is a better version apparently

Russian lang? try engineering mode or better this app below to check language options:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileuncle.toolbox

BE VERY CAREFUL & DO NOT DO ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT SURE OF. If you can not install, flash latest gapps i linked before with twrp/cwm.

you can change language settings in build prop file, with a build.prop editor (be careful):

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=build+prod+editor&c=apps

Sorry i jut saw your PMs, glad you managed to install drivers & root. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] owim:
^ Just a quick reply for now -- I did this before I saw your reply:

- Russian? -- SOLVED by reinstall everything from the scratch

- TWRP looks different -- SOLVED by the same reinstall without flashing memory expansion; TWRP looks normal (colorfull)

Let me thank you once again for your help! :)

I've just released an english version with few more tweaks from a chinese rom:

http://www.needrom.com/mobile/c2zp980-based-on-stock-android/

This will also fix ghost touches if they were caused by software (This is mostly for people that got c2 from later batch, for some c2 users its hardware problem)

This rom is based on: http://www.592zn.com/forum.php?mod=...ra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=800&typeid=800

This rom should work on all ZP980 and C2. I think it will work on C3 as well, but had no confirmation of that.

If root does not work properly: http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/thread-877-1-1.html

Few of the changes:

1. Sony display technology software

2. Build is optimized, Camera has been improved and videos + photos are better looking.

3. Ghost touches (If caused by software) are now fixed.

4. Sony bravia engine for better looking videos and photos.

5. English supersu root

6. Apex launcer

7. Improved GPS, first fix might take awhile, but after that it should be quick as lightning with good accuracy.

8. Has all the google apps including gmail, play store, maps etc

All credits go to original maker!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] biobio76:
Hi Dear TC662

thanks for your job and efforts, I will try your rom in the near future.

question: Is there any particular reason why you decided to use the Apex launcer for your customs rom? This is a simple question because I am just curious to find out the best launcher for zopo 980/c2 and I see different developers use Nova Launcher, you use Apex launcer, and on and on...

appreciate your feedback in case of any concrete reason.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tc662:
Apex was already in the chinese rom I based it on, I wanted to change it to nova first, but Apex launcher worked just fine, so didn't feel the need to change it :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] biobio76:
Ok got you.....and thanks for your quick answer!

Just received the C2 Platinum but the most frustrating thing ever - fantastic phone, except...

The headphone jack does not work - with headphones plugged in, sound is output from both headphone and handset speaker when listening to music.

Is this a hardware fault?

i.e. I need to get a replacement.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tc662:
I would try different rom, if that doesn't work i guess it's hardware fault.

Tethering not working

Hi,

I dońt succeed in having wifi tethering working with rom 610

After rooting and softwares like barnacle tethring pb is the same

Zopo gives an ip adress and gateway , i can ping between client and zopo bur no internet connection shared ( clients xp, seven or android pb the same)

Removed security pb is the same . Does someone have tested it ? Can someone help :good:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] momanx:
same problem here.

tried all market app that promise to unlock tether. no luck.

same sim on another smartphone running android 4.2 allows perfect tethering.

so it is not related to sim, network operator, data plan or android version.

it's something related to zopo 980/c2 rom or hardware.

hello,

i'm interessted in the zp980 32GB model

before buying it i have some questions

1: are the buttons (back, home, ...) with backlight or are they not visible in the dark ?

2: is the GPS compatible with glonass ? (you can figure this out if you see triangles in gps status or square in gps test)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dead-neM:
Hi for the Yamaha chip set I think it's real but all zopo zp980,c2,c3 have it see this on zopomobileshop.com

1/Same as the other model. Me I like it there are not too lighter and when you are outside the sun make the button visible !

2/I don't know if it's really important I can make a test for you. I can say that the GPS have a fix in less 1min without 3g and WiFi

If you have other question I can awnser with pleasure

dead-Nem,

can you please make a test with 3g compatibility on 900MhZ ?

I am looking into this phone, the superb screen and precise GPS are absolute must have for me....

If you can confirm the 900mhz 3g, it will be a no brainer for the zp980...

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dead-neM:
I confirm it's working
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
How did you confirm that ?? I checked mobileuncle tool , it shows 1900 Mhz 3g , but I confirm it doesnt work in zopo zp980 32 gb

I think it is same for 900 Mhz, even though mobileuncle shows it, it is not working. only 850 and 2100 works for 3g.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dead-neM:
Yes mobileuncle tool show 850 900 1800 2100 and there is no reason it's not working my wife got a c2 and it's the same

C2 c3 and 980 are praticaly the same exept memory size, screen, CPU and ram
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alain57:
can you still provide a screenshot of gpstest or gpsstatus so i can have an idea of the precision, the signal strengh or the number of satelites (GPS or glonass) it detects

Yep but tomorrow because it's 2am in France
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
Mobileuncle is showing wrong..no mediatek chip phone supports 900 and 1900 and I m sure about 1900 coz att has network of 1900 here and it does not work 3g if I disable 850 using moiluncle

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dead-neM:
Mm interesting maybe your right but maybe there you are there is no 900signal ? I don't know really how it's working but on zopomobileshop they said 850/2100 so you probably right

It's weird for your GPS normally outside with agps etc... Fix take less than one minute and after reboot without agps etc... Less than 3min !

Maybe reflash your phone you have nothing to loose
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
Here we don't have 900 3g but we have 850 and 1900 3g....but only 850 works that's why I m saying same case for 900 ...mobile uncle developer can only answer why it shows ...and if it is realy supported by hardware some one should develop modem.img to use it

Bluetooth Telephony

Does any ZP980/C2 owner encounter bluetooth phone call problems? I have the following problems

1. When calling using bluetooth to another zp980 (also Motorola Razr HD/M, Blackberry Z10 these are the ones that I tested), I sound like a robot to them. Also, when the call finishes, I'll lost radio signal for both SIMs momentarily.

2. When receiving calls when using bluetooth from the above mentioned phones, as soon as I answered, the call will drop and again I lost radio signal for both SIMs momentarily.

The above problem only occur when using bluetooth and only with those few phones mentioned (may be there are more!). Calls to and from landlines, older mobiles (Samsung S2, iphone etc) have no problem, nor calls without bluetooth.

In the whirlpool.net.au forum, a thl W100 owner reported the same problem. BTW, I have 2 zp980 and both display the same behavior.

I tried many custom ROMs and cooked my own (by pulling bluetooth config and modules from other MTK6589 based phones), so far nothing fixes the problem. Any help and suggestion would be much appreciated.

hi everybody

i made some test for the compatibility of 900 frequency in 3g

is there someone who make a baseband in order to integrate this compatibility, ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
How did you test?

In my test in USA i m getting strange results.

1. I went in mobileuncle and disabled all the wcdma except 2000(2100) I know my sim at&t doesn't support wcdma 2100

2. I restarted phone ...did speedtest ...I got same 3g speeds 3-4 or even more than that Mbps

Is there any other way to test...I m not sure If mobile uncle is saving the band settings correctly else how can I get 3g speed without the supported bands

i confirm that the procedure to have right root is the same to the version zp980 16gb but the preloader must is version "B"!

And for upgrade or reinstall the firmware is the same procedure only you have to format after use flashtool in :
