Overclocking

Hi,

I am new and am looking to get a ROM for my Zopo C2 mainly to overclock.

Is there a kernel to overclock the CPU and GPU?

Many thanks

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Starships:
Does the above firmware work on the C2? Looks like a lot of significant updates.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wozhere:
Yep, Dezmen's ROM, above, is currently the best for C2 IMHO.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] biobio76:
is this new 1.2B working as well on ZOPO 980 normal version? Guess so but just would like a confirmation from users that installed it already.

many thanks

Hi wozhere,

why you posted those apps? are they related to what dezmen wrote about autobrightness?

Not so clear to me.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wozhere:
Hi santaenzo,

As I quoted before those links, Dezmen said "6589 autobrightness is a mess." ROM Settings: Display, does not work & crashes so timer widgets help (screen off in 3 or 5 or x minutes as people have different needs), the other for reboot to his TWRP is fast with quickboot (recovery boot is now in 1.2b2) & the last one is very useful for auto-rotate problems with display settings.

This is also good & so far in my test ad-free: expand the 4x1 in size as has more hidden, the 1x1 size widget can be configured in settings to show brightness level/auto (problem with this ROM Settings: Display) or volume etc. & you can have many 1x1 widgets:

Just got my C2 today, and I was very excited since everything was working perfectly. However, after sending a few texts the network connection just dropped. It had full bars at first, I have no idea why it won't connect anymore. Tried the sim in my old phone to make sure nothing was going on with my carrier and it works fine. Going to try flashing Dezmens firmware in a bit, is this subject to the FC/B differences? I have one of the B marked phones.

I read that before posting and tried it but it didn't work. Took the sim out, booted without it, turned it off again, and put the sim back in and it's been working since then. Hopefully it was just a one time thing.

Sweet. Saw that thread in the last page, I'll have to look through it when I can. :good:

Installed ADB driver correctly? I´m using PDANet, and it is always connected with usb debugging. Motochopper should work with this phone!

If custom recovery for normal model works with your model ...

You can try to flash custom recovery with spflashtool! All files included in this package, ...

http://chinamobiles.org/downloads.php?do=file&id=820

You can also flash twrp from dezmen instead of cwm recovery, and install "SuperUserSU_1.25_Pro_cwm.zip" with this custom recovery!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pfaverio:
Hi guys, I have a problem.

I can't get into a custom recovery.

I followed all the steps, flashed correctly the 6032 cwm (also tried with twrp by dezmen, same result), then reboot the phone.

The guide request for a recovery reboot using mkt droid or mobile uncle.

I did it.

When I reboot into recovery I see a "no command" text. Pressing the power button I can only get into stock recovery.

No trace of the cwm or twrp recovery.

I'm going mad at this! Please help.:(

PS: The phone is rooted, obviously and I'm on a 20130610 stock firmware.

usb host for mass storage

Hello,

I bought a micro usb to usb A socket (i hope the id pin is connected to ground) to connect a mass storage usb device to the zopo980

and bought on Google play "Nexus media importer" but so far no life.

Is the zopo 980 really able to act as host ?

I bought Nexus because I do not want to root the smartphone.

Kind Regards,

Hello,

At home and around I can use the zopo 980 using 3G with the

belgium Proximus/Belgacom provider.

Unfortuantely, at work I cannot do any data transfer or phone call when 3G is enabled.

When I disable 3G everything is fine (but slow).

The network is ok at work , i tried with my wife huawei smartphone with the same provider.

The Imei starts with 86 as well on the huawei.

I use the lastest ota firmware that fixes the battery recharge issue I met before.

Any idea how to fix that 3G issue ?

Kind regards,

Trying to flash Dezmens 1.2b firmware, but it aborts right after I hit install, "Installation aborted". I rooted using this method http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/thread-381-1-1.html and I'm currently on 20130422. Any ideas? I held power+vol up to get into the stock recovery.

edit: Okay, flashed CWM recovery and was able to proceeded with the 1.2b install, everything went fine this time, but now my phone won't boot. Gets stuck at the first Zopo screen, left for about 20 minutes and was still on it when I got back, pulled battery same thing. ...Tried flashing to stock firmware and the phone won't even turn on now, halp plz?

Thanks [MENTION=3000393]wozhere[/MENTION] for the link!

Still, I´m confused about the battery issue. Is the battery draining so fast, or is the problem of the software indicating it?

The phone behaves funny, I just let it rest with full charge, no GPS but WiFi on, it drops about 0,5% an hour.

But yesterday it did drop 80% in an hour, and I have no idea about it´s cause.

I´d like to have the to be relyable, for normal dayli use. What am i supposed to do?

Also, I don´t really have the answer, how to get version 1.2 final into my phone.

Getting my Zp980 16gig tomorrow.

Hi guys,

This place is mine field for me! I know Zp980 & C2 are same but they have different main board so to flash we need to be careful. I am bit confused about those B,C or XYZ mark on battery. I know it has been spoken many time here but it would be great if some one speak again.

Help me on

1) how to root my Zp980 & upgrade to new firmware?

2) Is it safe to do OTA update for my device?

Thanks in Advance!!!

http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/thread-777-1-1.html

Hi blade@Dell, yes it's safe for OTA or use first link below is best ROM, also see other links below for root

Hi lasslax, do a factory reset & install Dezmen third version(final) of 1.2 from first link. if it does not work factory reset & flash official ROM (0521 or whatever) then flash Dezmen ROM. Factory reset deletes apps and data, back up first, I used titanium for apps& data.

My battery life is great as a few others said the same too, I use Dezmen ROM with task killers, try easy task killer (set to auto optimize) or advanced task killer, I might write something on Zoppo forum.

Dezmen ROM, this ROM it is best

http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/thread-707-1-1.html

other links for new people:

For future easy ROM upgrades you need root, mtk6589 drivers, MTK flashtools, CWM (most are chinese or rubbish) & I recommend after CWM to get TWRP

1 minute easy initial root quick & MTK6589 Drivers:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40624111

flashtool, try to get latest one, you only need it once, after installing it once & then CWM, you can use CWM (reboot recovery) to quickly flash future ROMs

Also some report problems with Windows 8 so best to try with Windows7. You might have to register on 4shared for free first below. In his PDF instructions where he says keep volume-down (V), it did not work for me but worked without holding volume down. His package installs English (not Chinese) CWM.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40706359&postcount=35

Now you can flash Dezmen's ROM upgrades in a couple of minutes with CWM. Better than CWM is his TWRP (CWM shell + more commands):

Thank you for the answers. Unfortunately none of them helped, but I tried an other idea, and there was the solution to the upgrade:

I just changed the 32 Gb SD card to an 8 Gb - and the upgrade went through. Thge phone started with the 1.2 final version.

Now put back the 32 Gb card - and the system could not find it at all!

So eigther the size or the partitioning og the 32 Gb card is the problem. It works fine with version 1.2a, there the system memory and the card were swaped. My guess is that the problem is just that. I did not have the time yet, but I plan to format the 32Gb card and will try it again, to find out what´s wrong.

Thanx for your help!

No I would not waste time looking into that figure saying out of 121gb app2sd space you still have 67gb free, meaning you've used 54gb, that's nonsense and simply an error.

Hello everyone, I just got my Zopo C2 "B" ver. phone. I was looking through this very big thread and short C2 thread as well, so have some n00b questions -- pls help me! :D

- Should I download latest FW OTA from Zopo, as the phone suggests? Phone wants to DL it, even the name of the update name is "ZP980...". I have C2 ver.

- Should I stay with Zopo stock ROM? Are there alternatives? Can I install CWM, for instance?

- How to root the phone?

- As I understood, I can not use FW or ROMs made for ZP980 with "B" revision. Is that correct? If not, can I flash this FW: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2234265&page=26

- I'm curently on FW ZP980 20130521 - 152918-v3.1. If I upgrade to ZP980 20130610-083807 are there any bad sides with it? Tested? Works fine? :cool:

- I don't want to brick my phone (like some already did)!

For those having this phone longer than I do: please make me a list of things I should do in order to bring it to useful-shape condition, with later easy managing ROMs, tweaking, etc.

About Phone info:

Model: ZP980 (it's not, it's C2!)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mawe79:
we testet it out....it's not important if you have A, B , C, D, E, F or whatever and doesn't mind if you have ZP980 or C2.

All FW are same. There is only one difference. They got diffrent preloaders.....but while flashing new FW, never flash the preloader, so you can flash every fw, made for this device. (just uncheck "preloader"

and yes you can install cwm, but than OTA update doesn't work automaticly.

And there is no problem to get the zp980 ota update, just install it.

You wonder why your Phone is regocnize as zp980?

That's why there is no original Android FW for c2 out, all are for zp980! Because c2 has stock other fw installed (not android)

there are so many ways to root this phone...just have a look at the first post for example...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] biobio76:
[MENTION=2664502]ovim[/MENTION]

in case , afetr installation, you want that into your phone specifiucation will appear still C2 you can download from playstore a free app

like buil prop editor ( you need rooting access )

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor

then you can edit the build.prop and write C2, C3 or whatever you like instead of zopo 980....

enjoy, cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] owim:
@Mawe & BioBio, thanks for the heads-up! :)

Now I know C2 and ZP980 are pretty much the same so I can use any FW, like Dezmen's, which is great!

Thanks for mentioning the preloader, since I guess that's the way to brick the device (as some reported in the C2 thread). I just have to go though all previous posts now and do a good job as a total newbie! :)

^ Short n00b Qs:

- do i have to root C2 before installing Dezmen's ROM? I haven't done anything to it so far, it's on stock everything, not even self-suggested OTA had been done. :) I did'n even put a SIM card yet, just playing on WiFi.

- do I need.SD card (for putting Dezmen's ROM 1.2b2?

- if internal memory is 4GB why is 2,xx MB a good thing with this patch? Does it combines two system partitions into one? Or...?

- what are the fist things I need to do? Is this the list: Backup current FW that works (using stock Backup & Restore?). I have no apps and data yet. Factory reset. Boot into Recovery. Do I need any SW for that or just power+vol up? Then follow the instructions given here on previous pages. When do I use MTK drivers and MTK flashtool? Is that it for 1st timers?

- I have normal size SIM, can I use it only one SIM and have HSDPA on it (WCDMA)?

On the firmware file that you used with flash tool there is a logo.bin

Change the .bin by .rgb454(or something like this) then use paint.net and make what you want respect only the resolution of your phone , after that make rename the rgb454 by bin and flash it with flashtool

Be carrefull there is a limit of the file .bin size and it's depend of the device so be sure of what you do and have man droid backup OK?

Good luck man

put CWM (English version in my link) in SP-Flashtool folder, install CWM

Use CWM To install & update ROMs, GAPPS, TWRP (better than CWM) etc.

flashing ROMs need wiping CACHE & Dlalvik cache preferrably, factory reset is not needed (deletes apps & data) but is good when moving to a new ROM though not needed when upgrading same ROM. Dezmen ROM is best currently.

I installed 1GB to 2.49GB MEMORY Expansion. Workes fine. All installed apps work like nothing happened. :good:

I noticed two issues:

1. In Settings - Storage section, under Default write disk now there is only one option "SD card", instead of both "SD card" and "Phone Memory" before this update (as expected). However, I noticed that this setting under "Default write disk" doesn't really work. It's was set to SD card, but most of my apps were installed on internal memory. Why is that?

2. I was warned:

This was really annoying for me. Yes, I was warned, and I don't like it, that's like having Windows C: and D: drivers browsing together from the File Manager, not knowing which is where. Because of this I was thinking of removing this memory expansion.

Edit

: ES File Explorer app sees internal memory and SD card together, but File Expert is able to see as different drives, like before. (To be tested more.)

What do YOU think? :)

Bonus Q

: How do you boot into Recovery (TWRP) when phone is off? Power+vol down doesn't work for me (explained in my previous post). If my phone is off, the only way to get into Recovery is to connect phone via USB to PC, start Win app MTK Droid Root and Tools and select Reboot into Recovery. If my phone is on, then I have option to reboot into Recovery on the Power button (from Dezmen's ROM). I'd like to be able to enter Recovery when my phone is off my pressing keys, not using PC. Is there a painless way to set it? Thanks a lot! :)
