Yes I did but that DLL was missing but I found it and the problem has gone... But now MTK program doesnt detect my phone (The computer does detect it).

EDIT: Ok, now the phone is detected but when i try to backup it says: zero file no space left on device (i have like 25GB free...)
[Android General] shadow78:
I have no idea how to fix the camera or what to replace. For me everything works except the camera and the flash. I think the flash because the issue with the camera itself.

I will try to replace the camera related files in system/lib from 4.2.2 and see what happens..

I was unable to replace the files even I was rooted, rolling back to 4.2.2 Android L Mod. Unfortunately Im not a developer and I hope someone will come up with a solution.
[Android General] krtek2k:
see #175 post dont know how i can do a CWM backup if it will be without mine personal passwords to google play or the other apps.
[Android General] celka:
Simple: backup your current state.

do a full wipe.

backup that state, share with others.

Then restore your personal backup :)
[Android General] krtek2k:
you need to activate debugging mode to activate mtkdroidtools to see the phone
[Android General] VRez:
I finally was able to do everything except the installation of the backup. When I try to restore it It does nothing.
[Android General] rincal:
Hi Celka, I am unable to install your rom in either twrp or cwm - keep getting failure. could you or someone give instructions please? I have installed another rom from zip file and it was successful.

I'm pretty sure that you can create a copy of rom for recovery with sp flash tools - that would be really awesome!

thanks.
[Android General] Pajarilio:
Do you unzip the file? Remember, put the unzipped folder into the CWM's backups folder before restore

This is the easiest way.

BTW, you must have a CWM recovery

Thanks for your advice Pajarilio, I have it restored now, my lack of understanding of CWM.

Thanks also to Celka, my phone still has no rear camera but I have learnt much from process.

thanks.
[Android General] Pajarilio:
Rear camera also doesn't work for me. This ROM is pretty good. I liked.

thanks again Celka

One of the chap from needrom contacted Cubot and looks like the circuit board is different on the old version running 4.2.2 that`s why the camera does not work.

"Sorry to reply you late, thanks for your patience and honorable manners.

Sorry it's not. I want to be sincere with , the circuit board of the 4.2 version is different from that of recent 4.4 version. Sorry for the inconvenience.

All the best to you"

I am sure there is a way around it its is just a matter of time someone find it. I did not even expected a good support when purchased the phone but having it for 3 months and the hardware is already outdated?.... :)
[Android General] rincal:
Hi Shadow, thanks for heads up.

I contacted cubot some time back because of having problems with my bury hands free car kit, and they told me in reply that they were testing kit kat and to watch for news on their website, nothing was said to me about hardware changes. I could never get into forum part of the old website, now the site is new, forum has gone and the so called members area is impossible to register or login with Facebook, (keeps coming back with error on both). Like you I am not happy after spending £120 and find in short time that their is no chance of future update support. just a point of information, I notice that the 4.42 version available on needrom has facility for ota update.
[Android General] krtek2k:
so titanium backup of 4.2.2 camera apk , is not working if it is loaded at 4.4.2? Dont be stucked in the way how the original FW is , use your own creativity. thjs was the cheapest 8-core, so what u expected? ... open eyes plz

root

Hello

I can't copy files from my sd card into any folder which is not writable only in root mode.No sdcard in root mode :o

I checked with adb shell,after I enter su i got root rights,but /storage/sdcard is not mounted.

[IMG="iamge"]http://kepfeltoltes.hu/141030/root_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.png[/IMG]

(As I see mounted for user_id 1023 only, this is the problem)

There is no /etc/fstab, so where do I have to change the mount command line to mount that sdcard for all users?

thanks

Cubot X6 with secured boot.img, how to disable ?

Hi to all,

I have a Cubot X6 ( rooted ) and i would like to flash a new recovery but got a problem: I can´t do this because

the device has a secured boot.img.

Anybody knows how to disable this "security" feature ?

Tried with MTKDroid tools creating a new CWM and a new unsecure boot.img and flashing it with SPFlashTools, but after

first reboot.....my new recovery goes away...:crying:

Best regards,

[Android General] bedeegc:
Good idea, maybe they will listen.

Last week i got a message back from MOJO form CUBOT with an answer on my question Cubot X6 and Kitkat.

Dear there ,

I am so sorry about that, your old X6 can not be upgraded to Android 4.4.

Mojo

So no updates from Cubot for the old (mine is 5 months old, Dilivered with 1.0)
[Android General] Brammie2005:
i have a "new" x6 delivered just a few days ago...from banggood..

do they mean the x6 is outdated model or is there an old and new x6 model? what/where can I check about the 1.0 you talk about?

found a 4.4.2 rom but i prefer to wait for cubot or find some people who tried it allready..
[Android General] rincal:
Hi,

my understanding is that the phones that come with 4.4 are the newer model but I will stand corrected by others here if wrong. My x6 was purchased in uk 4 months back obviously with 4.2 and they are still being advertised now with the same 4.2 version. I have not seen these x6 phones advertised anywhere in uk with 4.4 so you ar not aone unless your phone has 4.4 .

if you go to system settings, scroll to bottom and select about phone you will see details there:

example: G807_C1_D1_CUBOT_V1.0_20140512 = version 1.0

G807_C1_D1_CUBOT_V0.9 = version 0.9

CUBOT-X6_Stock_130614_v1.1 = version 1.1
[Android General] celka:
helo

for me version is 0,2 I got it with KitKat.
[Android General] shadow78:
This is correct. I did not find anywhere a KK version of Cubot advert. Mine is from Amazon, but Ebay only have 4.2 as well. So I think this is the Europe stock and if you order directly from China you may have the KK version with the new board. I don`t really care now at least it is working and plenty of other roms are available to flash.

I already started thinking for the future and checked the Honor 6. Huawei may have a better upgrade on their products.
[Android General] rincal:
Hi Shadow,

that's interesting I was seriously considering this Huawei Honor 3C 1.9gh 0ctacore until I noticed it only had 4gb rom but the specs are good and price also £81.00. inc free shipping from china.

Update issue reason to..

This update issue a for me a reason to avoid next time the Cubot mobile phone. They change the hardware without any announcement, and only the updated version they provide with a update.

It is a shame after 5 months a phone is to old to update, and they don't take the uportunity to make two updates one for the new Cubot X6 and one for the old one. Can not be that hard....

Yes, i know not everybody needs the update, but still strange two versions of the X6.
[Android General] painterKDM:
Cubot support sent me download link last friday for kitkat. i have v1.1 and flashed no problem.So i think v1.1 must be new circuit board. I had to use "format all and download" with SP Flashtools got no green circle but 4.4.2 was installed. I then flashed again with just "download" and flashed correctly this time.Cannot get roehsoft ram-expander to work now though but maybe kitkat problem. but now have 3gb internal storage and 10.67gb phone storage.Camera works fine

Cubot X6 keyboard

Hi all,

I've just received a Cubot X6 from Amazon.co.uk., however I have an issue with the phone. I don't know if this is a Cubot or Android version issue. I had been using Samsung S2 for a long time and I've enjoyed the keyboard that had special lithuanian characters on top of the english keyboard. I've tried to achieve same result on Cubot. No luck.

Do you know if this is a Cubot or Android version issue? Is there any way to have the same keyboard I had on Samsung S2?

Thanks.

P.S. See the picture below that represents the problem I have.
[Android General] painterKDM:
Link is on needrom but apparently is same as before. As I said before sp flash tools kept giving error when i pushed download so i clicked help icon which recommended "format all and download" I flashed twrp recovery(needrom again) and noticed just now that mtk droid tools only seems to want to do back up from recovery but perhaps thats best way to do it
[Android General] sao150326:
:cool: Hi painterKDM,

Mine it´s v1.1 too and Cubot support also sent me a link to download KK 4.4.2.

Did you flash Preloader too ? (I am I'm afraid to flash it) ....

I did not uncheck anything but perhaps why i had to flash twice.Just make sure to backup old rom, imei/nvram and apps and data(if needed). Rooted with Kingo

[Android General] sao150326:
:cool: Hi painterKDM,

Today I tried to flash (just Download All option, no Format) the kk4.4 rom and had not success.

I got this error message: "PMT Changed for the ROM;it must be downloaded"

Perhaps Format + Download All be mandatory because the new rom seems to need different partitions size.

As I am not sure about this, I sent a new email to Cubot Support asking about this issue (I´ll wait for them to respond)

By the way, front and rear cameras are working properly with KK ?

Best regards,

[Android General] Sachitoge:
Hey guys (im actually not new here, just too lazy to make an account)

Firstly, i got Cubot X6 black version (its said to be 2nd gen phone). The ROM is stock 4.4.2 ROM and kernel says its at 23-27 oct (not sure the date, too lazy to check), it has OTA Update, it is ART and Dalvik compatible working without problem on both runtime.

Rear and Front cam works good. Vibration, spekers etc works. Games work, aaand Facebool works! Also its rootable (not with framaroot towelroot etc). However in short, its working problem free! BUT I RECOMMEND YOU TO ROOT! reason is simple, if u play graphic intensive games, CPU temps hit to 70-75celcius (which can be the reason people reporting problems about the device like touchscreen not working or screen looks crazy etc). Soo what i did is underclock to 800mhz (although, its laggy but there is no choice to choose 900-1000mhz soo u can then choose 1.1ghz and above). What i did was run on 1.1ghz and works smooth (asphalt8 on max graphic works same as running at full clock speed. Some games (like Magic 2015) causes for some reason cpu work on max load when there is no reason for th phone to run at max load, even asphalt doesnt cause cpu max load. Magic 2015 causes huge temp problems, so even if i underclock, thanks to that crazy game, it approaches high temps. This device doesnt support batt temp (but i believ cpu temp is more important cuz batt temp is caused by cpu temp heating battery, and screem brightness etc). gpu is not heating! Cpu is problem.

However, wnted to share some info ppl owning cubot being too lazy to test phone and write results.

Also, antutu is impressive, ram operation is really high (higher thn htc one (m8). Cpu is impressive toov(thanks to octa, but its not optimized to prevent overheating, cuz it hs no thermal throttle). In 10-15sec of max cpu load, it hitted +70celcius (cpu temp) which is high! Think it being max load for 5min... Yeah as i though, it will melt phone components, worst case, burn the chipset, or battery explosion. (Not kidding).

I experimented, and found out that my old SGS3 got therml throttle, after batt temp hittingc42-44celcius, it throttles cpu clock speed to 800mhz (cpu hits then HARDLY to 70celcius), aaand thermal throttle, baang goes down to 55-60celcius. Batt temp in result, never exceeds then 45-46 celcius!

Nvm, i would like to ask people owning stock 4.4.2 rom, if they tried customizing and modding the phone? Example with lucky patcher or Xposed Installer?

Guys, i really need to know if it works in 4.4.2 cuz heard it causes soft-brick on 4.2.2. Aaand since i dont know chinese, i dont neither get the recovery mode in it. Its fully chinese, so it is rlly hard. Tell me if xposed framework and lucky patcher works on ur stock 4.4.2 ROM (Cubot X6).

Thanks!
[Android General] celka:
Hello

I am using it with xposed, gravity box. I can't use a phone without Gravity Box :)

I play only Catan on this phone, its not overheating with that game)

(Stock 4.4.2 , rooted (with KingoROOT))

I installed a CWM(rua autoCWM v5.5.0.4 for Cubot x6)

Hard to brick this phone, never flash PRELOADER and you will be ok.
[Android General] Sachitoge:
so it works? And i rooted with kingroot too. Btw. Im on school now,

Ill install xposed. Btw, what does gravity box?

And how did u install cwm recovery? Thru MobileUncle?

Aand does lucky patcher work? (Patches to the core.jar)

Thanks bro! U saved ma life!
[Android General] celka:
I never used LuckyPatcher so I dont know, i dont remember how I installed recovery.

Gravity Box: try it and u see it)

(example: traffic monitor in status bar,notification toggle appears if you swipe on the right side of the phone, etc.and a lot of other useful customizations.)

uploaded a pic from GravityBox main menu:

Hey,

Well i tried to send 2 times a reply but for some unknown reason it didnt got sended. Anyway, i installed xposed and works good! Rarely random boots happening (thats when i play around with xposed, but its not a problem). Aaand, how did u find out that recovery? I couldnt find it on google, could u share me link? Ill try to install with mobileuncle app.

Thanks!!
[Android General] ferdyfist:
Hey man, could you elaborate on how you under clocked it?
[Android General] Sachitoge:
Get Root and install SetCPU. And u can set to all cores a max clock speed rule.

Also, u can set ur own thermal throttle, by creating a custom rule. Example, if cpu temp hits 60celcius, underclock max speed to 800mhz. It really helps a lot to prevent heat. I hope it helps and soz for late reply (looks like my previous reply didnt get sent, wierd, gotta confirm from now on if my posts get seded sucessfully.

Lucky patcher and its all core.jar patches works! BusyBox also works (try it with Busy Box X app).

Could someone help me with cwm recovery? Want to backup my phone (nandroid backup). Thanks guys! Keep submit your experimental things so more people can get compatible apps with this device.

Also, i must admit that my screen's pixels (5-10 pixels) are DEAD! But its almost impossible to notice it if u use regularly without in-depth controls checks etc.

Also, touchscreen is problem too! If u are not a FPS maniac (or freaky game maniac) then u might notice it is not very sensitive, and some part of the screen doesnt recognize my fingers (its hard to explain soz guys).
[Android General] Sachitoge:
Guys a wierd part is when i turn all cores to max speed and from settings turning on cpu batt save option, my phone with full charge doesnt hit more then 53-55 celcius. But at low battery it hits (and wil probably hit over 65-70 celcius). Pretty wierd. Ill try full clock speed for 1-2 days and report back how it is. While writing this thru tapatalk over wifi with HORRIBLE DATA CONNECTION = A lot of juice and extra heat generated. So, counting that in, i got now 40celcius, and it slowly goes down :o wondering how much it will.

Sometimes im really suprised, and sometimes... Im horrified of this octa.

Battery over wifi with bad operator connection (its always bad in house), batt drops 1%/2-4min (while writing a text).

Aaand i calibrated battery, crossing fingers for maximum lasting battery :P

exactly the same

[IMG="How it was (Build.prop)"]http://www.4shared.com/download/26rxUVoUba/buildprop.png?lgfp=3000[/IMG]

Cubot advised me to select "Firmware Upgrade" instead "Format all + Download" or "Download all"

and after upgrade to KK 4.4.2 all it´s working perfectly fine.

Best regards.

Yes, and you can download

1) A rooted (and ready to FlashTools) 4.2.2 v1.1 from here : http://www.4shared.com/rar/0_t0Pt2Sba/CUBOT-X6_140613_backup_141113-.html

2) USB Drivers from here : http://www.4shared.com/rar/pfDlArtjce/MTKUsbAll_092.html

3) Flash Tools from here: http://www.4shared.com/rar/EPAwXs9Ece/Tool_for_MTK6589-6592.html

4) KitKat 4.4.2 Original Stock Rom from here : http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hcjFo

Please note that this rom ONLY WILL work fine for this build number : G807_C1_D1_CUBOT_V1.1_20140613 and Custom build version : 1402651330

And don´t forget: to flash the new rom select "Firmware Upgrade" option and wait, process can take several minutes.

To root Kitkat 4.4.2 you can use KingoRoot (worked fine for me). Framaroot does not work with KK 4.4.2

Best regards,

Great job thanks for the instruction.

Unfortunately it was not working for me. I have the same build number and the stock firmware as you said. Basically if I understand correctly roll back to stock 1.1 and choose Firmware upgrade in SP flash tool then flash KK. I have done it 2x but the back camera was still not working.

I gave up on this phone anyway I have replaced mine with the honor 6 and kept the x6 to play around with only, is up for sale if anyone interested.

Hey guys

Im no longer using this device cause of some poor sides.

Touchscreen is not sensitive compared to other china devices.

Device heats up a lot on a 2D graphic game

Other than that, its great! But i paid a lot tax. Shipping + tax = ~80$ + 200$ device. Its DHL Express so never try get express else, tax will fu** you up!

Now i gave that to my mom, she is happy but she agrees with me about touchscreen not so good.

Now i got s5 myself, also i saw that some part of screen in landscape mode during swiping finger up slowly, so did i notice that screens some part is not accurately mooving, this means less control over the games such as modern combat 5. I hope its only me, not all x6 series.

Happy new years!

P.S: phone is functioning very fast like new, no any issue, good performance, heat doesnt feeling cuz its on the case. But other than that, it works nice even after ~2month of use.

Touch screen needs calibration on X6

Here you can see my problem on X6, can anyone help me?

On bottom left here the problem is the worst, on top right there is no problem and in between the problem scales :rolleyes:

This has been from the new and the Ebay-seller is no help.
[Android General] Sachitoge:
Though a update would be neccesary.

We got luckily wuthout knowing a one device more, furthermore i dunno why maybe seller somewhat did a mistake, anywho, both device has same touchscreen sensitive problems so ppl that will play games, never buy it! You wont be able to aim good, i swear.

As of screen quality, its horrible! It arrived with lots of dead pixels in screen, and was frustrating but not noticable.

As of the free x6 that arrived, for some reason i dunno why but it randomly bootloops and sometimes it gets stuck so it doesnt boot and so i must take battery out and slap it. I guess something causes phone battery to trigger device malfunction. The purchased device still works good, no bad sides.

The case was not durable, plastic on both device all over the corners did crack and have a deep crack that is about 1 inch long.

Both device heats alot, mostly if u place finger to the camera around the metal of rear cam, it is super hot there on some light HD games.

As of white cuvot x6 rebooting, it started happen after 1 month use. I did fully new rom installaion and ended up in imei & nvram issue, so i fixed that in an hour, and though i fixed issue but NADA! It is device that is having problems.

My recommendation, go get another china device, OR order for ~300€ htc one m8 (i assume its cheap cuz its blackmarket/stolen product). U can get it from aliexpress, and other chinese device selling websites.

Earpiece volume too low

Hi,

I've bought the X6 for my wife and works ok, but she says that the earpiece (well where you listen to calls, not the loud speaker) is too low. The volume is already set at the maximum during call, and I've tried the MTK mobile unkletools to set the values higher, but is still the same.

Anyone got this issue and found a solution?

I have a Blackview Crown and the call volume is high and clear, don't know they are almost the same....
