Download the 315 mb Rar file which i gave the link for ....Extract it in one folder on pc , switch off your phone , open sp flash tool and select the scatter file inside this folder... (once you select the scatter file, it should populate all the entries pointing to a file in the extracted folder , no entries should be missing, if it is, than something is not right and you cant proceed) if all entries are populated and with a check mark in front click on upgrade firmware with your usb cable connected, but swtiched off phone , if it doesnt do anything and says "searching" just take out usb cable and plug back in, it will detect your phone and start the process., let it do its process till you see a green circle , saying completed.

After that start your phone and you should see this update in "wireless update" application. just download and install it.

Above procedure I used for my zp980 32gb. Please make sure you download correct stock rom from zopo site or anywhere else, .it should work in zp980 16gb or c2, but i dont have that phone so cant test......Better to download the version which has worked previously in your mobile,,

zopo zp980 rom 2/32 gb

HELLO Manan79

i am using king slim rom right now which is good overall but wifi is not working(also showing some NVRAM ERROR NETWORK )

CAN YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ME LING THAT WORKED BEST FOR ZP980 2GB/32GB.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lospider:
Hello, Manan 79!

You said earlier that the best ROM for you was Iocean X7 Pot. I'm assuming it's mostly because of it's ghost touch "stability".

I'll update my phone with the newest stock ROM from ZOPO (zp980 20130818-173942) and download the newest touchscreen firmware via wifi. After that, which ROM do you suggest?? (at this point, I think I shouldn't be worried about ghost touches, so I want the fastest and more stable ROM)

Thanks!!

PS: thanks for being so kind with the people here and for researching new ROMs for us!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
It is again up to individual choice ...both Roms are almost similar..however I noticed quick battery drain in the new updated ROM from zopo 100 to 84 % in 30 min with WiFi ...will continue using it for day or 2 and if not satisfied then back to iocean :)

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Please read the entire thread last 4-5 pages specially you will get many links ...iocean x7 and Sony xperia by soaham are good ROMs apart from the stock firmware latest update

HDR in camera app missing

Hi all. I installed the latest OTA update on my ZP980+ and am pretty happy with it. One thing I noticed is that the camera app shows you how to use it the first time, and in that intro shows the HDR option. In the actual app it's not there. Is there any way to get it in there?

how to port language..

hey guys.

does anyone know of a guide that explains how to port language from one rom to the other.. I want to port the Hebrew language from stock rom to iiocean rom.

thanks!

I have an annoying issue here. I got the message that there was an OTA update available it failed for me (I think because I was rooted) So I flashed the stock image form zopo mobile shop. I had to use version B, because with normal version the phone would nto turn on. then I applied the update which installed fine this time.

Now the problem is my phone storage shows as 1.2gb, it should be 32gb. somehow the stock rom makes it think the device is 2gb version nto the 32 version. How do I fix this??

exact stock rom i used: 980_C2_20130610_B¦µ

phone is: 32gig/2gig ultimate zopo zp980 (no stickers under battery)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
All will have same problem it is very common ...solution is simple...erase phone memory in settings storage...it will reformat it with 27 GB space ...but If you have data in that space take backup... I don't keep any data there as have 16 gig external card inuf for me....erasing phone data will solve the issue...take backup if you can
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flamebo:
that worked! thank you.

Well my next problem is, after flashing the stock rom. i lost everything so luckily I had titanium backup. So anyways, i did a batch restore and selected the option "restore missing apps + all system data" which was the option recommended in the titanium FAQ for a full restore, I tried both the snapshot and the xml option restore everything and it tells me to reboot, during the reboot the phone will freeze on the zopo logo. And I have to reflash the rom again to get the phone working again. its driving me bonkers. How can I restore all my settings and apps without crashing the system?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] doongoo:
Hello Topicmates,

could you please provide me a step-by-step guide how to come back to factory state of the phone. I have a ZP980 2GB/32GB version.

I have rooted with framaroot, everything was ok. After that I have OTA updated with the latest update and now all the google apps are force closing. Therefore I want to revert back to Stock ROM and after it OTA update (an thereafter root again).

What do I need for that? Should I try at first simple factory reset?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bobby-c:
How do you use the update file after you downloaded it? Update within the recovery app (hold vol + and power button)? Like TWRP and CWM?

And "reflash stock recovery.img". So in SP flashtool, deselect everything from the original ROM and only select recovery.img and flash?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flamebo:
1) Download the rom from http://www.zopomobileshop.com/content/9-download-zopo-mobile-latest-rom

2) download sp flash tools form the same link

3) open sp flash tools, click the button "scatter loading" browse to the extracted rom folder and select the scatter file

4) all items should be selected in the list

5) click firmware -> upgrade

6) turn your phone OFF, connect to the pc via USB and once the green circle appears close flash tools, unplug usb and turn on the phone.

On a new note, this new update has absolutely fukt the battery. The charging is extremely slow now, and the battery drains very quickly. Zopo seriously need to fix this and quickly because something is not right here.

I am concerned we could be physically damaging our batteries because if my battery is actually fully charged but the phone says its only 80% charged whilst it son a charger is it possible the battery might get overcharged and overheat?

everything else about the update went fine however I have noticed no differences at all. what exactly did this update give us?

I have a lot of stability issues with this software. the phone will randomly freeze up and reboot about 4-5 times a day, could be sending a text, using web browser or playing a game it will freeze, stall for about 1 minute then reboot its very annoying. also noticed my back button will stop working sometimes, its not a physical issue as a reboot will fix it.

Hi, Could you send to me the link of the download of the ROM iocean x7 for ZOPO C2 PLATINUM? Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
http://d-h.st/d4f --- iocean x7 link for zopo zp980/c2

http://d-h.st/vMj --- lewa 6-27 for zp980/c2 ..very smooth

I am uploading the lewa rom which i like the most ...and i flashed it after the official updated rom of zopo, and dont have any touch screen issues, so it seems that after the official update, no mater what rom you flash , the touch issue is not there any more...

can any one of you confirm this fact? atleast for me the LeWA rom is working without touch issues.. .

---------- Post added at 05:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 AM ----------

That is true about the new update..battery is not good....however if the touch fix is maintained even after installing other ROMS , than it is a great thing...i flashed the LeWa rom and it is also working without touch issue...so i m happy.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kfyros:
Guys, there is no way the rom can control the charging.

The only thing the rom can (maybe) control is the currency that will go to the battery. And for that they would need to install a resistor to do just that (for which i doubt) to decrease the currency to less than 1000mAmps that the charger outputs.

The battery controls the charging, not the phone. The only thing the phone does, is show the battery left, (not very accurately indeed), and use the power needed.

In my phone I thought battery drained fast with new rom, but I'm not sure now.

Charge it with it's own charger since it's a rather big one (1000) and not some other which is probably weaker (most are about 250-500 mAmps).

Let it drain completely for a week and then fully charge it, and don't connect it to cable in between because you can't get correct stats.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] isualk:
Hi,

before you flashed the lewa rom did you make a full wipe (data, system and dalvik-cache) or is it enough to wipe only cache and dalvik-cache?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asrbdn:
I have installed the last official update succesfully and I still have touch screen problems. So for me it didn't work. The only rom which has solved the touchscreen problems for me so far is the full Xperia ROM, and mobile data doesn't work in it

Of course I also have the last touchscreen firmware (0xffa0)

I've tried framaroot 1.6, It gave me "successfull, ...reboot", but after rebootphone is not rooted.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bobby-c:
3 phases in Eroot is not rooting. It's trying to unroot. Probaby because you used Framaroot. I used Framaroot before, I used all versions and none of them rooted my C2 Platinum, even though it says rooting was successful. Eroot now thinks your phone is rooted, so it's trying to unroot. Clear cache of Framaroot app, stop app and uninstall, disconnect USB cable from computer, restart phone (or turn off and on) and try again with Eroot. It took me quite a few times before Eroot worked again. You need 4 phases, then it's rooting your phone.

I tried Tc662 solution with the boot.img and flashtools Xperia C rom camera now works :D though not from lockscreen as there it still crashes with same pop up but it does work from launcher menu which is good enough, i like it better than stock (now that one is running well with the update) but for now im sticking with that Xperia C rom i think its Manan79 and Soaham work? not sure :confused: but i got to say for like 999 time i like how smooth it is on the phone and looks good even though with few bugs (tools widget crashes/wont work, camera from lockscreen crash, and battery indicator displays a weird square... when phone is off) not really important stuff but would be nice to get an update :) this on 2/32gb so just saying it is fixable :good: nice job with this

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VladanMovies:
Well, I got impatient and flashed previous ROM. Now, I have other priorities, namely, internal storage is showing 1.2GB instead of 12. I'll try rooting later.

EDIT: Erasing phone storage fixed it. 12.3GB again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xdadevc:
Well... rooting is gone after update, but you can always root again, manually.

First load a proper recovery (cwm/twrp or whatever you prefer) via flashtools

Second boot into recorvery via mtk droid root & tools

Third flash supersu or other su manager.

That's all. I rooted in less than 5 minutes after update.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VladanMovies:
Thank's, I tried that, but to no avail. Anyway, now I'm back to old firmware, starting from scratch and some back ups I had.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kfyros:
I have 25% left after 14hours - 45 minutes on battery,

with both sims ON,

3g dataplan always On,

bluetooth always on with connected headset,

a few calls,

about an hour of browsing- apps checking-emails-sms

about 15 minutes gps navigation..

I think it's satisfactory. I keep letting it drain (to 15%) and fully charging it..

Now only the weak flash is my problem, which will be solved with an external solution like those :

no clue i think its not working as it shows only E but on the micro you get H 3g well you can always cut the sim or some search workaround...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VladanMovies:
OK,

I've managed it. After flashing back to 20130610 and restoring the most of personal data from SnapPea backup, I did OTA again.

Again, it went fine. I tried rooting by booting into recovery from DroidTools and installing SU update, but it did not work.

Then I tried eRoot, and voila, I'm rooted.

Now, I'd gladly do that TWRP thing if I only knew what it is and how it's to be done. Some pointers to "how to for dummies", preferably in proper literary English would be appreciated. I'm not native speaker, but I really have headaches reading through "google translations".

Certain IVRS numbers not working in a roaming SIM with 3g on

Hi All

I have got a new zopo zp980 and I am really loving it. I am facing the below issue. I want to check its a problem with mine or every zp980 model

Certain IVRS numbers not working in a roaming SIM with 3g on in zopo zp980/2gbRAM/32gb model. Below are the steps to reproduce.

1. Get a roaming SIM (do not use a local SIM) and insert it into your zopo zp980.

2. Enable 3g and verify if its working fine.

3. Now call some toll free numbers ( try multiple IVRS call) and try to navigate through the menus using your on call dial-pad

Now you should be able to see that you are not able to navigate. Once you press any numbers from dial-pad you don't hear anything from the other side.

4. Now repeat the steps3 by disabling the 3g. Now you will be able to navigate through the menus using your dial-pad.

Please let me know if others are also facing the same problem.

Those from India can try calling this toll free IVRS number 1-800-209-2229. Where the issue is easily reproducible.

backlight bleed and other issues

Hi

I have just received my 32gb zopo 980 today.

The only issues i have are

1. I have bad backlight bleed in both bottom corners of the phone when the phone is held in portrait - is this common fault? I've googled it and come up with nothing.

I'm thinking of going back to the seller as one of the main reasons I went for this phone is the top quality screen.

2. sometimes i have to tap the screen again or firmer than i am used to - maybe this is me - i just don't know.

3. The back, home and the other button at the bottom are not backlit in any way - is this supposed to be like this? I'm used to my htc desire z having these backlit.

3. When i attempt to make a call i get the message "The sim card that you are about to use is roaming.No local sim is available now. Would you like to continue?" I'm with tmobile in the u.k.. Is this anything to be concerned about and can it be fixed so that i don't get the message any longer?

Cheers
