How to use Flashtool

Hi please could you write here to how exactly use Flashtool to install TWRP please? In style: start this, then click on this ...

Thanks.

how long does everyone take to charge from dead or < 20% battery?
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
Good question, I charged last night from 4% to full but I was asleep at the time. All I can say is that it took less than 6 hours cause that's how long I slept before the alarm woke me up!

Can someone please upload the root files? I cant download them from h*p://pan.baidu.com/s/1kT7dCSv due to some network error. Someone, who has the files please upload them! Thanks in advance! :)

[Device Reviews and Information] mrgergoke:
Solved! Chrome had some bug with downloading those files. Good old IE did it.
[Device Reviews and Information] t_0_t_3_m:
well since i have never used the tool and all the videos - guides use an older version i would like to ask a few questions about flash tool.

in the image at the drop down menu there are some options. which on of those do i need to select.

(i dont want to go guessing which one works.) The reason i am asking is that DOWNload only doesnt seem to do anything.

The scatter file is created by me for my own phone as per the instructions here: oh well 8 posts more to post outside links

the recovery.img is the one from the OP.
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
You're supposed to leave everything on their defaults. The scatter file you'll get it from the ROM that is posted at www.needrom.com, the same place you got the recovery. Remember that you'll need drivers for the tool to work, and also, when you load the scatter from the ROM, uncheck all the data it wants to flash except the recovery, otherwise it will overwrite your device completely!
[Device Reviews and Information] t_0_t_3_m:
maybe i did not explain myself properly.

i am not trying to flash a rom, i am trying to instal TWRP as my recovery.

Seeing that the defaults did not work for me, is there any chance that u tell us which SP Flash tool did you use (which version) and what set of drivers?
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
As I said, there is only one recovery and that is hosted in needrom.com. There you'll also find the whole ROM for this phone and you MUST download it to get the scatter file, also along with the ROM they also provide the proper SP flash tool.

Probably the gps software is set to allow a great approximation when calcualting the position. IN this way the fix is reported very fast but then it keep changing the fix value. This phone/software is good in many aspects but as far as gps and modem are concerned is it poorly made and conceived. I am going to sell it and buy a s5.

[Device Reviews and Information] Sargos76:

[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
Why you want to use GPS EPO fix? GPS fix work quickly and well without any help. For my typically to 20 second. I am using Ultimate v3 ROM.

What is problem is jumping GPS position. It is antena hardware problem, can't be repair by any software. I solved it - > buyied old Bluetooth GPS module Nokia LD-3W.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jivotnovod:
Some people have complained on MT GPS EPO FIX. It designed to update EPO.DAT forcibly. But you can do it without using MT GPS EPO FIX. Go to Engineering menu -> LOCATION -> EPO then press the DOWNLOAD(EPO) button (of course you have to switch on your internet connection). I think it will be the best way to update EPO.DAT.

PS. One more thing. If you have updated EPO.DAT with MT GPS EPO FIX at least at once, probably you can't use the way that's described above.

[Device Reviews and Information] Mchael T.:
Mine defaults to: GMT -04:00 Eastern Daylight Time, it wont correct its self.

When I'm: GMT -06:00 Mountain Daylight Time

So, where is the config file that sets the default, to make a correction, because the the place I ordered it from is in eastern CA.

So when they order for your drop shipping, they have the default set there @ -04:00 from the factory.

BTW, I'm here in Canada.

Guys, please help me I'm having a huge problem.

My volume down button is always pressed (but it doesnt lower the volume when the phone is powered on). Because of this, anytime my cel reboots or runs out of battery, it always start in chinese factory recovery. Sometimes I've managed to reboot (after about 50 tries :'( ) to enter again on the system, but now, I'm having a very hard time having success with it.

Is there any way to reflash the phone to remove the volume down button? Is there a way to overcome this problem at all? Please I'm getting crazy already. (sorry about my english)

Well you could open the phone, but better if you just returned it to the shop. However, try searching gravitybox, maybe it has some configuration for the vol button.

i dont understand, but, i use stock rom, and since update ota 1.1.2, i have date in auto update, and i dont have any error/problem. I think problem was solved with last update, because when i bought it, maybe stock 1.0.6, i think the date problem existed.

If someone use ota1.1.2 confirm to me pls! ;P
[Device Reviews and Information] Orlando Souza:
Its impossible to use gravity box. I can't enter to the system because of this, it always enter in factory reset (my volume down is disable on the system already, it doesnt affect the boot)

So I managed to install a new boot animation from needrom:

http://www.needrom.com/download/bootanimation-2/

I modified the folders and did some tweaking to the audio, got it to work quit nicely.

The one problem I'm having is getting the Bootlogo to flash from TWRP, this is using the one provided in the link above.

I REALLY don't like that white boot splash.....

The developer isn't responding on his post at NeedRom, I'm really hoping that a few of the developers of this phones ROM's are still around to help me out.

I realise that this phone is coming up to 1 year old, so mostly its outdated, but if someone has a fix for the Bootlogo, I'd really appreciate it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Sonic1SVK:
You should open your phone and check volume buttons. Clean and assemble it back. This is Hw problem. Try search on youtube for dissambling video or other server like i fix it or 4 pda.ru
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
The problem is about getting the timeZONE from the network and not date & time. You can leave "Automatic date & time" configured to get it from the network, but have to uncheck "Automatic time zone". If you want to leave both unchecked, you can Isntall NTP Sync from app store.

One year is an eternity on the phone world :) If you want to change boot animation i think it's easier to install another ROM. I think THL is not supporting our phone anymore. Well, i think THL is kind of dead! I mean, other companies are planning/releasing phones left and right and THL is just staring, doing nothing. That THL 2015 they released this year, is just too fat for a 2700mah battery phone. THL is doomed.
[Device Reviews and Information] Orlando Souza:
Thank you very much. Anyway, you know if I cant use a fastboot command to force it to boot via usb, bypassing factory menu screen?
[Device Reviews and Information] Mchael T.:
1) That is a patch, not a fix, I'm looking for a FIX for the Automatic Time Zone Issue.....BTW NTP Sync, It does not work with me, at my location.

2) Reminds me of the Edmonton Oilers

3) if read my post its the

BOOT LOGO

I want to change, not the boot animation, which I've done already, super easy, even made my own.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
1) OH, you want a fix from google? I don't think there is one... Even when i had a Moto G, i had that issue. The fix is to uncheck it.

2) You lost me :)

3) Try this app from aptoide http://m.darkpsytrancer.store.aptoi...d2.logo.replacer/25/3637336/Boot+Logo+Changer

You need working adb drivers

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot flash rom.zip

After flash reboot phone with command

fastboot reboot

But is better search on google for guide and adb drivers

Or adb sideload rom.zip

[Device Reviews and Information] bloodgnome:
Bluebo x550 is NOT better than the THL 5000.

Bluebo has a couple (2-3) hours more Display-Time but has a lower Display Resolution (NOT Full HD). Missing some Sensors (G-Sensor ect.) and also weaker (32.XXX Antutu vs. 20.000 Antutu Points).

GPS is the same ****ty one (missing Glonass).

So it might have a little better Display/Battery Time but overall its NOT better than THL 5000 IMO.

Plus Blueboo is screwing their customers by saying that the device has 1,3 ghz (it has only 1,0) and that it has Glonass (It has not as it uses the 6735P SOC) ect.

So I'm still waiting for a worthy replacement for the THL 5000 Battery Monster...
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Well doing a comparison, one can see that indeed, the bluboo misses something. But here it shows, it is 1.3GHz: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/d6b331599

However, don't the new mediatek chips support GLONASS by default?

Anyway, i just bought a LeTV, after a horrible experience with the GPS, i said enough. Just too much pain. And i used a bluetooth GPS antenna dongle. Maybe it was the bluetooth libraries, well i don't know and i don't care. Be the interior antenna or a bluetooth GPS dongle, i had enough of this ****. Because the GPS is supposed to work!

I'm hoping the guys at LeTV did the right antenna design and the new Helios chip is good. If not, i will send back the phone and get a Zenphone. Doesn't looking at a Zenphone with a gazillion locked satellites makes you think about getting one?

ROMs are always installed on the phone's own storage (internal SD). Now you can copy the ROM's instalation .zip file to your external card tough. But TWRP, ot whatever recovery you are using, will install the ROM to the phone storage.
