Nobody has an idea how to get the touchscreen's firmware to solve the strange behavior of the older version ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dimitris CH:
You should probably send it to service...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prinsvlad:
check it with cpu-z.

Battery temp should be between 20 and 25 degrees in normal state.

If temp display is high u could flash the rom again and see if the problem is solved , if not u should send it back

ZP980 INTERNAL ROM Config

Hi all:

I recently got a 2GB/32GB ZP980 and the phone is GREAT. I love it but have one issue which I believe is more to do with the ROM config rather than the phone itself. So here is my question/concern.

As you see from the attached image, only 1.48 GB of the 32 GB was allocated as INTERNAL STORAGE. The problem is that this is way too small and after a few days of reinstalling my apps from the previous device, I am already receiving Low Storage warnings. There are single apps on the Google Play that require more space than that, (NFS, FIFA and others). I have exhausted my options speaking to the supplier and others whose only suggestion is to use my SD card. So I have over 23 GB free in ROM, but cannot use and instead am being told to use an SD card.

While I can do this, my concern is that I use multiple SD cards in my devices (some for movies etc.) and do not want to find myself in a situation where i am removing an SD card that has apps installed on it. Personally I prefer to have apps on the device and media on the SD card. The reason I chose a phone with the 32GB ROM is so that I do NOT have to use an SD for apps. My wife's 32 GB Motorola Xoom never had this partition issue and near all of the ROM is available for apps. I feel therefore that this is something that could have been done differently in how the phone was set up with the ROM

I do not know a whole lot about the ROM config and how it is manipulated on Android, but I feel that there must be a way to assign more of the 32 GB to apps. I understand that it would likely involve wiping everything off, but the phone is new and I have all stuff backed up from the old phone anyway.

So...

Does anyone else have this issue?

Can I do something about this?

Can I repartition the ROM as desired and start over as if the phone just came off the production line?

What files and utilities would be required?

What would be the procedure?

My phone is running the Zopo 4.2.1 ROM (update_zp980 20130818-173942) which is what came with the phone.

I really would prefer to keep the firmware that came with the phone, so I am leaning more towards fixing the INTERNAL STORAGE allocation rather than flashing some new ROM onto the device.

Please help....and thanks to all in advance.

catalindinsibiu:

Thank you soooo much!!!! I just changed mine to 7 GB using this tool. You have been a great help as I had looked EVERYDAY on the web since getting my phone, searching for whether this was possible or not. As I indicated in my post, I also spent a week of daily exchanges with the vendor (Official Store), and hours on online chat with another supplier and could not get any relief other than being told that I should buy an SD card.

This was so easy it is almost embarassing the vendor could not suggest it.

Thanks again and have a great weekend.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] catalindinsibiu:
I am glad it worked for you :)

Personally I had very bad experience with different support teams, from HP, Kodak, Creative, Internet provider, and also with 'experts' from computer/electronic stores, they are not real specialists, just ordinary employees looking at some "defect" -> "possible cause" tables...

I guess they are not even allowed to offer a solution out of this standard list.

Back on topic, I found a ROM, called 'Marsapa V20' which is using the memory in a very smart way: Internal storage and Phone storage are in the same place, it gives 28Gb available in total, which means Internal storage can use anything from 0 to 28Gb. What is left unused is available as Phone Storage. I guess 'Phone storage' is just asigned as a folder inside Internal storage. This should become the new way to manage the memory sharing in my opinion :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Andrew0965:
Exactly my point. That is more or less how my wife's Xoom is configured...and why should it not be? I bought a 32 GB phone so I would not have this concern. Okay, now I have 7 GB, but there is still over 20 GB that could be prioritised to apps and leave the SD card for media.

Anyway, I have not played around with custom ROMS since while there are some awesome ones out there, based on reviews it always seems that you give up something to get something. Have you installed this Marsapa V20 and are you pleased with it? I will research it myself as well and see if it is a good all round alternative. For now, your first post and that invaluable link has breathed enough life into my phone that I am happy.

Thanks again...

second, my phone is 16 GB but now only 1,29 GB?? oh man..what happen with this phone???:crying:

please help me..please..i beg to all of u..

thanks..

warm regards

How did you re-flash? By download or doing firmware update?

I mean of course in the sp flash tool...

In case try to flash by firmware update, this is going to format +upgrade

The actual rom....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] catalindinsibiu:
I installed it for one day, then moved back to V19, it is for me the best I could find yet.

Internal/Phone memory management is made the classic style, but so many things improved, I will never return to stock rom :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rovega Unlimited:
By download..is that any relation with my decrease internal storage?because gallery still in my phone..only camera not found..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] catalindinsibiu:
Go to Settings - Storage - Erase Phone storage.

You will see the total available memory (around 12Gb on your phone).

Make a backup of what is stored on the small 1.29Gb Phone storage, obviously it will be erased ;).

About camera, sorry, no idea.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] biobio76:
did you modified the EBR1 and EBR2 files in the past? ( usually it is done to increase interal memory ..)

if you did it...when you flashed back the stock firmware you have re-flashed the original ebr1 and ebr2...that's why maybe your internal memory decreased....

anyway, guess you need to deeply cleen your phone and re-install stock firmware just to put back original condition...

so try again doing as said...NOT DOWNLOAD but do the FIRMWARE UPGRADE in SP FLASH TOOL

then, check if your camera is back to normal operation....

then flash only EBR1 and EBR2 accordingly to your need, I suggest to extend internal memory max to 7GB, more then enough to install everything...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rovega Unlimited:
Thanks dude..its work..my phone storage now 12,21 GB:fingers-crossed:

btw can u explain to me..if i install game or app, it will save in internal storage or phone storage?

whats EBR1 and EBR2? i dunt know about that instead...:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] catalindinsibiu:
Some apps and games install in internal storage only.

Some install in both internal storage (a small part) and in phone storage / SD card(rest of the app/game).

On most apps you can choose to move a part from internal to phone storage / SD card after installing if it's not done already.

Go to Settings - Apps - chose app - Move to SD card.

I prefer to keep them in Internal storage, some are not working when they are moved to SD.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] catalindinsibiu:
As biobio76 said, you should try to bring the phone to original condition.

Follow this tutorial:

You find here everything you need to download:

http://www.zopomobileshop.com/content/9-download-zopo-mobile-latest-rom

If camera is still not working, I would say it is a hardware issue and you need to service the phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] biobio76:
yes, agree as said before.....

internal memory issue you fixed already, was easy just needed to format it...

but the camera can be an hardware issue....if you don't solve it by completely re-flash the stock firmware then you need

to send phone to service center...

Zopo 980 bricked

Hello all,

I bricked my ZOPO 980....

I installed new firmware via SP Tools and the bar went from red to purple to yellow with green Okay, however when disconnecting the Phone from the computer, and starting up the Phone was dead.

It does not start, does not load, does not react on any button. Totally bricked?

When I reconnect the Phone via the USB-cable to the computer, I hear a sound as if USB is recognized. When I then use SP Tools and use the download-function, the bar becomes red and then after 14:00 makes another sound, as if USB is recognized.

When connecting the Phone via USB, the computer does not show that the Phone is connected.

What can I do and what is wrong with it?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Andrew0965:
That was my point with some ROMs. I read that V20 has issues with USB Mass Storage detection when connected to PC. You never know what you are about to lose with a given ROM. Glad you are enjoying V19.

I wanted to pass on to you that the ROM partition feature of V20 can likely be obtained without installing the actual ROM. The ROM update page gives you the EBR1 and EBR2 files needed to repartition ahead of flashing the ROM. If you use those files and SP Flash, you can get the full partition as you pointed out. Once partitioned, I imagine you should be able to flash any ROM on the phone. I have never been able to get SP Flash to work with my phone though, I get the error message which research suggests is a problem with the scatter file (even though I created my own scatter file from my own phone).

C2 / 980 Stability & Core Voltage

Hello !

I have found postings on several forums where owners have reported C2 / 980's spontaneously rebooting - therefore I thought I would write about my own experiences in case it rings a bell in someone's mind.

I recently bought a 2nd hand C2 Platinum (1G / 32G) but am having real problems with it rebooting under load.

Any application that works the phone hard - EG Navigation, or fast panning around a website will cause it to crash and then struggle to reboot.

Using an app "Stability Test (Root Optional)" I have traced the issue to Clock Speed !

At 1.5GHz, the App will crash within ~2 minutes. (Temperature only reaching 25'c)

Limited to 988MHz, it will crash after about 30 minutes (Temperature showing at 34'c)

And limited to 754MHz, it appears to be stable (No crashes in 10+ hours, temperature reaching 36'c)

When the crashed phone struggles to reboot, I think this is also related to Clock speed. EG The phone will boot at full speed 1.5GHz, and only apply the clock limit once booted. If the hot processor is unstable at 1.5G, then it may never fully boot. Taking the battery out for 10 Mins to let it cool is the only way to boot again.

I tried Factory resets (Including recovery); RAM and Flash check test good in SP-FlashTool, and this isn't a bad ROM issue.

If this were a PC, I would look to increase core voltage; but unfortunately that does not appear to be an option with any MKT6589 Kernel (Google Play apps all require Kernel support for Voltage adjustment)

Of course having to limit clock speed to Half what it should be capable of is not ideal since the high resolution screen becomes laggy in use...

But if that is my only option, so be it.

Help Ideas:

1. Does anyone know of a Clock Speed manipulation tool that can apply a limit at switch on? rather than after everything has booted?

- or would the only option be a custom Kernel?

2. Are there any Kernels available or in the pipeline that may offer voltage control (if indeed possible with this CPU)?

3. Is it possible that Zopo program stability parameters at the factory, which may be lost during ROM updates?

- has anyone translated the Zopo Factory recovery menu (Power on with USB holding Power and Vol Down)

I hope this helps others out in the same situation

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] catalindinsibiu:
I guess not all phones have this problem, mine never restarted (C2 2gb/32gb).

I installed this test and let it run for 12 minutes at 1.5Ghz and nothing happened (using a custom rom).

Answers : (my opinion, I might be wrong):

1. If you really want to underclock before everything has booted, only custom Kernel would work.

2. No idea, I think changing the speed is actually managed by changing min/max voltage.

3. I am sure restoring to original rom with SP Flash is putting the phone exactly in the same state as it came from factory, there are no hidden parameters that will be lost forever when you update the rom.

I would like to thank everyone especially biobio76 for your clear instructions on flashing with SPFT and using the MDT, I've been pretty successful in modifying my phone so far, installing recoveries (CWM/TWRP), partitioning my phone (I own a C2 32GB and I now have 7GB/21GB partitions).

Just got one more weird issue, I'm trying to install Marsapa V21, and seem to have problems going about doing it. If I'm on CWM (I'm using version 6032, version 5504 wouldn't boot for me), the installation process would be quite fast but I won't be able to boot past the white boot screen. If I'm on TWRP, I am unable to mount /sdcard so I can't access the installation zip at all. Any ideas?

Question about Internal ROM access

Hi there:

I have another question for you from my observations..

Ok, as you know I got the ROM partitioned and all is fine with that, but my phone seems to address its memory in a strange manner in that it does not prioritise the Internal ROM once there is an external SD card mounted.

What therefore happens is that if I remove the external SD card and install apps or copy files to the Phone Storage region of the ROM I can use them with NO SD card installed or mounted. Once I mount an SD card, this card seems to be what the OS goes to for media or apps, and apps installed on the ROM are ignored.

Is there something I can do to correct this?

Is it anything to do with the way the ROM's Phone Storage area is formatted?

Thanks...Andrew

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Quick question, I have a similar configuration and through this forum got the phone partitioned as yours. My challenge is that the phone does not seem to read the 21 GB when I have an SD card installed, so apps installed to it are not recognised. As an example, I have Need for Speed installed on the 21 GB partition, but I have to unmount my SD card to use it. If I don't, the program keeps prompting me to download and install the files again.

Do you have a similar problem?

Thanks...Anderw
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] catalindinsibiu:
Yes, I was quite upset first times playing with the phone because of this issue.

When you have no SD card inserted, Phone memory is mounted as SDCARD0.

When you have a SD card, it is mounted as SDCARD0 and Phone memory becomes SDCARD1.

Obviously, apps don't find their data anymore.

NOTE: This behaviour is created on purpose, as in the past many phones had a small Phone memory and a big SD card, people complained a lot because apps were using the Phone memory instead of taking advantage of the SD card. :D

I am still trying to find a solution, by changing vold.fstab file from /system/etc.

This is how it looks like (I modified it already to mount Phone memory as SDCARD0 and SD card as SDCARD1, but still not working as it should.

It only works as long as SD card is not physically removed.

If no SD card is installed, Phone memory is mounted as SDCARD1 instead of SDCARD0.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Andrew0965:
Wooah!!!!!! Twice in a week you've saved my sanity!!!

I just completed your procedure and a round of testing on the phone and all is working fine. All apps installed on ROM seem to be working with the SD card mounted and I still seem to have the option to install to SD. Media is being accessed from either ROM or SD card...all round things seem great. I always plan on having an SD card installed, so I may not suffer from the limitation of this fix that you mentioned.

In the interest of a complete fix, I will continue to search and get back to you if I find anything. BTW, I have just ordered another phone for my wife from another supplier that has agreed to format the entire 32 GB ROM as a seamless partition for storage and apps as per the Marsapa V20 ROM. I should get the phone by next weekend and will report on how that worked out.

Thanks again...I wish I could click the THANKS button more than once... :laugh:

Big SMS limitation

When you want to send a big SMS you can only send 3 linked SMS, after that is made the conversion to MMS... Does anyone know how to remove this limit? I have stock ROM + GravityBox. Please Help.

Thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] catalindinsibiu:
I am not sure I understood the problem.

SMS has a limit of 160 characters or less if you use special characters..

It is not related to the phone you are using, just a limit of old standards still applied today.

If you use more characters, you will send a multipart SMS (like you said, 3 linked SMS) at once.

They will be reassembled by the receiver's phone so it will look like one long SMS.

If you insert emoticons, images, audio files, etc, your message will be transformed from SMS to MMS.

It's not that, when you reach the final of those 3 messages, even if you have not inserted music, photo, video, the message will be converted to an MMS, when let's say you begin to write the begining of the fourth linked SMS... I want to send let's say 5-6 linked SMS, and I can't...:( Help guys
