You have to click download in flash tool before connecting turned off phone. If you have drives installed correctly, it should have begin flashing procedure.
[Device Reviews and Information] ragarok:
ahh hmm that's a whole different thing.

okay, so it works. well, I'm not allowed to actually flash my phone. getting BROM_ERROR : S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL on my own personal backup, and BROM_ERROR : S_SECURITY_SF_CODE_DOWNLOAD_FORBIDDEN (6010) off the rom linked on page 4.

ohh joy, well alt least there exists a possibility to fix my phone :)
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
Try download ROM from some above post I have posted from Italian forum

Edit: I read bad, that you already tried:) So try flash doogee ROM
[Device Reviews and Information] ragarok:
That I will do.
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
But still it is strange that it doesn't works...On my device works every version of ROM posted here.
[Device Reviews and Information] ragarok:
Just flashed DooGee and I checked the system settings and system information.

it says Android version: 4.2.9 ?? really?

I thought 4.2.2 where the lastest, or did I miss something?
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
Firstly congrats for resurrection:D

And yes, this is right version:)

I think, it's still 4.2.2
[Device Reviews and Information] ragarok:
two things.

my screen flickers and I've got invalid IMEI's :s
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
Hmm... Now try to flash your backup.

There's no reason for flickering.

And for loosing IMEI I can't help...
[Device Reviews and Information] ragarok:
My phone got resurrected!!

Turned out, SP flash tool (v5.1352.01) didn't like doing flashes in a row, had to exit and start it again every time I wanted to use it and now I'm flashed back to my own backup.

That IMEI business took me a little time, until I found a post here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2318582

that had a little program to generate new IMEI file I could just drop in the phone. For convenience and safety, I've got a backup of the IMEI on my sd-card :) happy camper again :)

Hey guys,

I try to install gapps. But recovery is chinese. I don't have cwm or root on this phone. And I don't know chinese.
[Device Reviews and Information] Kasun117:
Hi zed,

Why are you trying to install Gapps in the first place?
[Device Reviews and Information] zed-78:
It´s my wifes phone. She had them on her old one. Now she wants them back.

I think especialy the genie widget. This for reading news and the weather.

Can I install only the geniewidget?

To tell some more:

I allready got the latest (signed) gapps for 4.2. Then I tried to enter recovery (- & power-button). And the recovery boots --> TADA --> in chinese (holly cr**).
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
Maybe that's the problem... Try power & + & cable in charger.

From factory there is 3e recovery.

I personally advice to change to full CWM by MTK droid tool.
[Device Reviews and Information] zed-78:
OK, thx.

But it is my wifes one. If she can´t use it for half a day, she will blame me for that the next 10 years.

She told me, that she would like to have her gAPPS back. Particulary the genie-widget. And I´m trying to do this.

I have an UMI X1 Pro, got it from AxxLxxE recently.

Have had a lot of trouble with Three network signal indoors unless I stand by the window. Has anyone else found this?

Is there a way to force 2g in the network settings for Three? I can choose it manually but cannot seem to register.
[Device Reviews and Information] Kasun117:
Not sure abt the X1 pro rom, but in the Doogee DG350 you can go to Settings>More...>Mobile networks>3G service>Enable 3G>Off and this should turn off 3G and force 2G. Hope it helps :)

Thanks, have tried that but refuses to register on Three's 2g service.

I think that I must have a poor 3G radio as I can get a good signal on other handsets with the same Sim.

maybe it is the problems with local mobile service company? the 3g signal in your area is not good enough.
[Device Reviews and Information] loaded2107:
I have tried a few different sims now side by side with different handsets and the X1 Pro can only get a 3G signal by the window while other handsets have good network coverage (2G and 3G) all over the house.

I have raised a fault with Antelife and they have asked if I can get a quote for it to be repaired locally.

Does anyone know if the radio can be swapped easily or if it is soldered to the main board?
[Device Reviews and Information] watalee:
if other chinese smartphones work well, i am sure that your umi x1 pro has signal hardware problem,you have to ask them to get a warranty service.

Hi,

So i bricked my phone XD

I had it rooted with custom recovery. I was going to install miui rom so i went to recovery, made a backup and started to wipe data / factory reset. But it stucked at wiping system. I had to take the batery of. Tryed to turn it on but it gets stuck at thr um xi pro logo. Cant even enter in recovery. So i installed drivers and sp flash tools. Downloaded a rom with scatter. The problem is i click download, i connect the phone and it doenst do anything. How do i know flash tool is recognizing the phone?? Really need your help. Thanks a lot

Edit.

I believe its a drivers problem. Phone apears and dissapers instantly. Installed drivers in styler thread on how to root and backup mtk phones. Also tried with diferent usb cable.

Well that's not easy. You have to modify ebr files and flash them back by flash tool. Of course you lost all data, so backup is necessary

Hello guys,

I've got my umi x1pro for some months, and this week, I tried something WRONG (facking hearthstone :/) : I modified my "/system/build.prop". I've got a backup which is named 'build0.prop' in the same folder, in case of problem, but now, my phone can't boot. I've tried many things, but nothing worked :

In recovery

-Via ADB, when I try 'adb shell', I get '- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) nRet(-1) -'

-Via ADB, when I try to remount, I get 'remount failed: Success'

-via adb or sdcard, when I try to flash a rom or a recovery, I get an 'Installation aborted.'

-via adb, when I try an 'adb ls /', it works, but when I try 'adb ls /system', I get an empty file.

So I tried fastboot :

-when I try to flash a recovery, I get 'partition 'recovery' not support flash'

The only thing I can flash via fastboot is the boot partition ...

(I tried all of these on linux)

Do you think there is a solution for me ? Should I open another post ?

I hope someone will be able to help me <3

Maybe it's due to your fault of resize partitions.

BTW do not try to flash preloader, you can easily hardbrick phone and in your case it's surely not needed to flash.

Try uninstall drivers and install new one. There is no reason for such behavior.

I think that the S4 hardware is nicer with more options for accessories too.

On the other hand, the pure android experience in N5 is hard to be unnoticed.

I would also recommend trying them in a retail store before drawing any conclusion.

IMHO, I would recomend S4 from T-mobile so it can hold custom rom (aka pure android) so you could have the best of both worlds. =)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj-suicide:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrawer:
I had the N5 for 6 months then decided to sell and return to the S4 (bought new version on swappa). You can't go wrong either way but, for me, I like the S4 hardware better...turns out the replaceable battery was something I wanted for backpacking, etc. Plus I like the S4 camera.

The N5 is pretty basic and the hardware rattling noises kinda bugged me over time...which may have been repaired in current versions...not sure.

Running stock/unrooted with most bloatware disabled AND even have been using the Google Now Launcher which is great...an exact clone of the N5 version from my viewpoint (even voice detection from home screen).

The preferred the texture of back of the N5 but I use a thin case over both phones so it really didn't matter.

In stock version...for me battery life has been the same on each phone.

as many have said...personal preference.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonnyg85:
I would go with the N5 but that's my opinion I like the simple smooth look of the N5 not a big fan of the looks of S4 but of you keep the S4 make sure you root because my S4 lag and got wicked hot randomly and I factory reset it a coupe time plus had it RMA and keep doing the same thing I can't complain about anything about the N5 I would get the lg g2 but I like the N5 form factor better

Hi. Not sure if this is the right place to post but as I am using this ROM, Cannot post in the corresponding ROM forum - not enough privileges.

I would like ask for your help. I have an LG-P880 running Android 4.4.2 with LiquidSmooth LS-KK-v3.0-2014-02-12, Kernel: 3.1.10-CM+(2014-102-12). After flashing the ROM, the phone does not connect to WiFi with WEP. I choose the WiFi connection, enter the key (yes, the key is correct, tried few times), the phone tries to connect but then only says "Saved, secured with WEP" and never "connected". I searched through many forums for a solution. Seems like many models have a similar problem but couldn't find the descriptio for my phone or for this ROM. Most of solutions are as follows:

Wrong key (not my case)

Nulled IMEI - insert new value (not my case)

Change device name in WiFi direct - for HTC One (not my case)

Set correct time, date and zone as it may affect WiFi (all correct)

Some Kernel drivers don't support old WEP protection (could be the case)

I installed WiFi Fixer app. In debug mode it says the following:

Connecting to:"<provider name>"

Supplicant State: ASSOCIATING

Supplicant State: DISCONNECTED

and it goes on like this over and over.

Please note that it connects fine to other networks protected with WPA and WPA2. Some advise to reprogram the router - impossible in my case as it is the company's office and I don't have access to the router/server.

Yes, I wiped cache, dalvik and did factory reset couple of times - the problem remains.

I really like this ROM and don't want to move another, so please advise.

Has anyone experienced this on 4X? Any advice? If it's the problem with the kernel, which drivers would you recommend me to upgrade to?
