I want to flash CWM through sp flash tool for that i have to place recovery and scatter in same folder or it will work in different folder's also after selecting scatter and cwm files separately? Because if i place both in same folder it will be automatically selected.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
no need for flashing cwm through sp flash tool. Just download correct cmw recovery and rename to recovery.img and place on your sdcard. Root your phone with framaroot if you are not root yet. Then flash recovery with mobileuncle tool, download from playstore. Very easy.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bharat701HD:
No i want to check is sp flash tool will work or not cos if anything goes wrong i have to flash stock rom with spft.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
Flashing stock Rom is always done through spft. Also the scatterfile is provided in the package. If you only want other recovery like cwm or twrp I suggest using mobileuncl tool because it's much easier.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bharat701HD:
:) Actually i want to try new rom but after flashing custom rom if it will not work and the device will not start i have to flash stock rom with spft. Now i dont know sp flash tool will work that time because i am not sure if vcom drivers installed properly.

For that i want flash cwm through spft. That way cwm will also install and i I'll get confirmation that vcom installed properly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
You can always try to do a read back (making a backup) with spft. You would need the same setup.

hi guys, my brother's zopo C2 has a problem with the cache and data, when i tried to reflash dezmen3 rom and i turned on the device, after the boot animation, the screen stucks on a russian text and i can't do nothing.. i tried to wipe all data and cache but they're not mounted...

i tried to reflash factory rom but in the sp-flashtool i get the error ''sd_a sd_mmc write failed'' someone can help me to remount data and cache so i can reflash a new rom? maybe my brother has made some trouble with the system, it's very important!! please, someone help me! :eek:

ps: in dezmen3 recovery i have the possibility to use the terminal, what command must i use to remount correctly data and cache? (yes, i tried the 'mount' section but doesen't worked)

sorry for my english.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bharat701HD:
Whats the difference between direct backup rom with only mtk droid tool (easy) and with the combo of mtk droid tool & sp flash tool (readback ...) (Complicated) ....i mean why not choose that only mtk droid tool easiest method ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] biobio76:
using readback function you can download or better, READBACK the whole ROM or only simply part of it , even a single file too

READBACK is downloading the whole rom as it is at the time you runn the readback, nothing is done on the phone

MTK Droid tool need to get a ROOT SHELL to perform the backup, meaning the BOOT.IMG is a bit compromised from this operation and

in case of restore the boot.img can have the root inside as well, who is not the purpose of getting a DUMP 1:1 copy of stock rom

I am agree that using MTKDroid is easier, but with READBACK the DUMP is more clean and "pure", just put it in this way.

I usually do DUMP of a new phone using both programs and only then you can start "playing" with phone on safe side.

Hi there, I have just order my 1st cheap Dual sim the zopo zp980 2gb version, I have been knocking around xda for a while now but with mainly samsung devices so there are a few thing in the 140+ pages i read last night that I am a little unsure on.

Basicly from what i can tell is that at this time the best ROM is the official zopo firmware and that the device is easy to root.

Question 1: If is stay with the stock ROM can i root it and still receive OTA updates?

Question 2: If I dont root can i adjust the storage space for apps?

Im looking forward to being part of this group. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
Congrats on buying a great phone and welcome ;)

Answer 1: If you would use Framaroot (search XDA) you can switch root and unroot, so getting an OTA update is no problem, but not sure if there will be any update :confused:

Answer 2: At the moment I cannot adjust storage space, but I also didnt do any search about it. I have 1,5GB of app space, there are partition tweaks available to change that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bharat701HD:
Biobio , is it necessary to have root,cwm,busybox installed to readback?

And also do u have any link to the good tutorial on it coz the one i following is not clear enough.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] olliesmith6121:
Thanks for your answers, 1.5gb doesnt seem like very much space for apps? Is there a vitual SD card like the galaxy note for all the obb data to go in? Some games have more than 1gb data with them.

Why do they partition so little from the 32gb for apps?

Which ROM are you running at the moment.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
For me 1,5GB is enough. I forgot to mention that I have the C2 Platinum which has 1GB ram and 16GB rom. You can say the rom is divided into 3 pieces, the OS part which without root you cannot access, the internal memory and the phone memory. The internal memory is 1.5GB, this is where you put your apps, and the phone memory is 12.5GB this is where you store pictures, music and so on. Like I said, there are ways to expand the internal memory.

I tried many roms like Lewa and Miui but stock rom is the most stable and usable. If you would root your device I suggest you install Xposed framework and Gravitybox. This will give you full control and you change about everything, add stuff like halo and pie control, very nice.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] laconic5:
I've installed a few large gameloft games (which are more than 1gb) and the data is automatically installed on the larger phone memory/partition (27gb). So 1.5gb of internal should be enough for most people.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] olliesmith6121:
Its here!!!!

Just got my Zopo zp980 and have booted it up, few questions.

Can you get the new version of Google play store? the white one? and how to I get games center for my Google account games?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
What new version of the play store do you mean? This one? It is version 4.5.10. Dunno about games center :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] olliesmith6121:
Yes that one but it updated its self everything is up to date. Google play games is working now i just had to install google+ and an update and i have my saved games from my old device. so far this phone rocks.

Only thing that has peed me of is that i bought a nice zopo flip case £6.99 but not only did the phone come with 2 x screen protectors one pre-fitted it also came with the flip case to.

How can a young company like zopo offer extras free when company's like Nokia don't even want to supply chargers anymore.

Small Chinese firms are they way forward for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] olliesmith6121:
Where can i find an English manual? I need to work out what all the settings in the camera do?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dead-neM:
in other phone the internat memory and internal sd are the same so you have a larger place

the problem is the cache is on the data so 1.5gb is not enought for me

on my Zp980 i have 3gb data and only 1gb is free

Mtk have to work on it cause it's really an advantage to have only 1 partition for data

hope what i said was clear
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] biobio76:
To readback with sp flash tool it's not need or necessary to have nothing

The dump itself it's a 1:1 copy of the phone at time of download

Readback of full rom can be done by downloading each single block after the other,

Or the common and best way to do that is in combination with the magic mtk DROID tool

Below is the link done by great master RUA1 explaining step by step

I took the plunge and decided to sand off some of the silver paint from the frame. There was already a little scratch and I didn't like how it looked.

I used the finest sand paper I could get and sanded along the frame. But I left the top and bottom untouched to give it a nice little accent. I then cleaned it off with a damp cloth. Then applied liquid silver polish to bring out the black and give it a little shine. Then cleaned it with a damp cloth and wiped with a dry cloth.I accidentally sanded off the paint from the buttons. It would have looked a lot better if I had left them silver. I might get some nail polish and repaint them.

I think it looks nice and won't get mistaken for an oversized iphone 4.

Touchscreen issue

Hello all, i know this is a old topic in the forum, but recently i discover something i would like to share with you. I have a Zopo ZP980 2GB RAM 32GB storage, white color. I had many problems with the touchscreen, no ghost touch, but really strange behavior like when trying to select an option, the screen was scrolling up or down the menu, kind of freeze of the touch with no possibility to select anything in the screen (but sure it wasn't the phone as if i was touching the home button or go back button, the phone was doing it without any latencies), and so on ... So the user experience was really degraded regarding the touchscreen behavior. Then i discover this topic : forum. zopomobileshop. com/thread-964-1-1. html i did the upgrade, i had the 0x98 TP VID and the touchscreen was working better, but still not perfect and still the same issues. Then i cracked my screen, and i had to order a new one. I received it 4 days ago and mount it immediately. First impression after i restarted my phone, the touch sensitivity and behavior are really working great. I can even say that it is working perfectly ... I thought that my previous touchscreen was then the issue, but i wanted to be sure of that. So, i installed the FTS upgrade tool, to check the firmware version of my actual and new touchscreen. The result is TP VID 0x98 still but the version installed is the 0x26. So, there are upgrade for our touchscreen firmware, for sure. But i haven't found them on internet.

the message is that one, people deserve to get these new updates. Who could provide this to everybody, that's the question. I checked if i was able to retreive the firmware as a file, but the tool only allow to flash and not to read the firmware.

I hope that this message will get replies and actions, as i have friends still having old touchscreen firmware not working well compare to mine.

I am also searching a solution, the only one i see is to find out the newer firmware for the touchscreen, there are no other solutions unfortunately. But trust me, it is definitely working much better. A friend came yesterday at home and is also having a ZP980, the behavior was crap compare to mine ...

Hey guys! Yesterday I've flashed an incorrect preloader on a zopo zp980 32gb Rom 2gb RAM. Now my question is: where can I get the right preloader for this device. It has no FC or B sicker so I think it's a normal version.

What kind of OS are you using? It could be a driver issue. The zp980/c2 is pretty hard to brick. Can you do a read back (backup) with spft, just to check if the drivers are installed correctly.

I'm having a weird problem on my zopo zp980 2Gb/32Gb.I am not a gamer and i haven't played any games on my zopo since i bought it.I read some good reviews on IRON MAN 3 official game and i download it from store in order to see the graffics that everybody was saying it perfect for mobile gaming.

I downloaded it and started the game.The weird thing is that the games limited needs in order to play flawlessly are much less than the zopo itself can handle.The gaming expierence is horrible....it's like strobo effect on screen,like multiple frames icons moving.(sorry but i can't express it otherwise,not good in english) and it is not smooth.I tried booting the device,clean cache and dalvik but still the same.I dowenload the solitaire that i am using on my Galaxy S and the same thing happens.In SGS every move in solitaire is smooth.On zopo smoothness is unknown word for solitaire and Iron Man.

Does anybody faces the same issue or its just my device?:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dead-neM:
Hi the gpu of the zopo zp980 is a sgx and they not the best at all so if the game is not really optimize for your graphics processor the game can lag or some effect are missing to improve fps

the real problem is gameloft... they have the worst communication in the world and they do update of their game only to add content or ****ty ad

(i think gameloft doesn't like android due to the facility to install hacked games)

the solution is to email dev but don't esperate too much the mtk6589 is little quadcore and the hd screen drain a lot of load

maybe you can use a cpu control app to gain some power

Hi, caring games for my 8 months experience with the 1,2ghz/1gb ram .....simply the zp980 isn't such a gamers device.

....this for few reason,

.... the high resolution display is heavy for the HW capacity...

.... as told few games are optimized for the zp980 GPU

.... the actual games, update after update are becoming something absolutely heavy, (Gameloft is champion in this) as example, 8 months ago I could play at Wild Blood or Real Racing 3 with sufficient fluidity and almost without lag...

....now just to start RR3 I need to use an external apps to reduce the graphic detail; Wild Blood became so heavy that some game level are almost impossible to be played...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ioannis_m:
Τhank you for the answers.So it is not my idea.....other also having this issues with their zopo's.I thought that i had a proplematic gpu.:D

In daily use i don't have any complaint from it,but in gaming it sucks (the least word to describe.thank god i am not a gamer.:p).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] laconic5:
1080p is too much for the processor, you can emulate a lower res by installing a resolution changer such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer and reduce the resolution to 720p or 576p. You'll have to calculate the right dpi. The downside is that hardware navigation keys will be disabled, so you'll need an alternative way to navigate (enable onscreen navigation buttons, gesture navigation or pie navigation).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] olliesmith6121:
So the GPU is good enough to display the very nice crisp looking screen but as soon as you start playing HD games it will struggle?

So the 2gb of RAM dose not help much then in the end.

I have had the phone 4 days now and had no problems with playing games like samuria seige and battle loot. I am running the most recent stock rom do any of the custom roms help the GPU and graphics lag?

Also off topic can any one explain the camera presets to me?????
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kasperbau:
I tried something like 15 different ROM, between upgrades original beta or custom Roms....

....My experience is that to have 1 or 2gb of ram....doesn't metter so much....and that there isn't a sw that can increase the game performance....

For sure the last 980/C2 version are suppose to be better also cause an higher GPU clock ( from zopo specifications), and a most powerful hw.

Anyway, if what is missing is sw optimization with the GPU, it is really hard that something can change.....

Yes I forgot to tell you....my 980 is now back to zopo to be repaired.... cause of many problems with 3g, phone that during the call was going in flight mode for itself and signal falling down......

I looked at your screenshot again and noticed, what I think is a wrong driver. In the statusbar you see what comport is used for the connection. There is also the name of driver, I see mtk usb port instead of mtk preloader usb vcom. I think you should remove all usb drivers, download the Vcom drivers, connected your phone without the battery, and then you should see a device in devicemanager, select it and install vcom driver.

Bad sound with video calling.

I have found an issue with my C2 Platinum, and am curious if someone else encountered the same thing.

Last week I tried to do video calling with my wife, using hangouts, but the sound was all distorted, only cracks and blieps. It sounded like the audio from the speaker was being picked-up by the mic. Of course I tried other apps like skype, or even facebook messenger (only audio), but all gave the same result. When I turned my mic off, I could hear my wife crystal clear... I tried using wifi (full signal) and 3g/h+, but no change in sound quality. Like I said, I'm using a C2 platinum 1GB/16GB with stock firmware.

Can someone test this please? Or perhaps tell me how to fix this ;)

Letters disappear, Wallpaper corrupted = buggy

Hey guys,

just got my Zopo ZP 980 with 2GB RAM and 32GB NAND. Since I was looking for a Dual-SIM smartphone with decent specifications (FHD, reasonable Performance) I thought I would give this thing from China a shot.

At frist I was quiet impressed by the quality of the case, but after a few hours of usage I am more and more disapointed. The preinstalled Android 4.2.1 does have a lot of bugs. Letters in menus and messages disappear, wallpaper gets corrupted, GPS fix takes like forever, WiFi signal is rather poor...

Considering that I have found those rather annoying bugs during a few hours of usage, I can only assume that I will find much more in the next couple of weeks.

I've already looked for ROM updates, but all I could find were custom roms, which are using the official rom as base or are copied from other phones like the Zopo C3. Cyanogenmod or other well known ROM devs don't have any ROMs up until now - heck...it doesn't even have an own subforum @ xda.

So I guess I will send it back to the retailer - or am I missing something? Any other suggestions?
