Instead of browsing forums in foreign languages (at least the ones we know that exist), why can't we have all of those modifications, that improve our phone, on just one site? It seems those forums have more stuff that needrom.

Has anyone tried this Hydroid MOD? https://www.facebook.com/hydroiddevteamph
[Device Reviews and Information] jalexz77:
I read there's a little percentage of trouble with the battery which cause a shortcircuit and make the phone unusable, and guees what? Im part of this percentage, I did everything to solve the problem, but I cant solved it :(((((
[Device Reviews and Information] zijin_cheng:
Is this ROM faster than the stock ROM, eg in opening and closing apps? Is battery life improved?
[Device Reviews and Information] kasvet-efza:
Me too wonder any one tried it?
[Device Reviews and Information] asgaroth0:
I just tried the thl-kk-classic-v2-rbt1-zip ROM, and although it is very nice and slick, I have issues with the wifi connection with this image. I dont have any issues with wifi on the stock 1.1.0 image. With this one though, after some time the applications think they are disconnected from the wifi source.

I've only been trying this image for one day, so I've not played with much of the stuff, but it is a nice image all round.

I've onlyl had my THL 5000 for a couple of weeks now, and have been running the stock 1.1.0 image up until yesterday (when I tried my first spflash procedure which worked 1st time :good: ) where I flashed this clasic v2 image. I like it, but will probably switch back to stock rom until the wifi issues have been resolved.

PS: Thanks for these great forums, Ifelt compelled to sign up now because of all the great help posted on here!

There is no problems with wifi disconecting - you only have to right setup WiFi settings in Settings/Wireless & Networks/Wi-Fi/Advanced/Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep
[Device Reviews and Information] asgaroth0:
Hi, thanks for the tip, however, I just double checked the setting you mentioned and it is set to "Always", which, I presume, means that wifi should always be connected.

Is this android L?

bbs. thl. com. cn/ thread-40275-1-1. html

i can't understand chinese... is this the awaited L rom?

I can't even download it
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
On top of http://pan.baidu.com/s/1sj0R4dB click the box right to the blue one, the one that say (442.7M), then on the popup box click on the right option. The download should start shortly. I'm getting it right now, but i don't have balls to flash it :)

Off topic, i'm using bshuy's ROM, GPS on high accuracy, it sucks, really sucks, don't know if it's the ROM's fault or the GPS chip itself. I wonder if putting some copper inside like on this video, helps.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDyngdY8rD8

Can doing this, raise the interference/radiation going on to your brain? Since it attracts more signal, not only the GPS signal but the network as well?
[Device Reviews and Information] juwie69:
I can understand you, i haven´t it too. Can anyone test it? :o

I think I found a workaround for the bad GPS accuracy. If I deactivate the Data connection, the accuracy is much better and not so laggy. Can you confirm this? Sure for this you have to use a navigation with OSM, but for me it works.

BTW it is not a ROM Problem it is a Problem of the MTK Chip where is all on one chip.

The build.prop says that it's Android L, but the date is August, so highly doubtful that it's real Lollipop.

Does that mean that, in certain areas, the phone will have no 3G signal?

Scrolling is not as smooth as my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus with my new thl 5000. Could it be ips screen vs super amoled? Or maybe something I can do?

I find scrolling much smoother after disabling 'energy saving' in settings > battery. Problem is, this setting is re-enabled after reboot. :(

If someone knows how to set disable this permanently, I would be one happy puppy :)

Lots of people seem to have problems with GPS. Have you tried this:

I tried today with data connection turned off, i think it was almost the same. Some rerouting happened. However this was on a highway, i wonder how it would be on a city. With a lot of direction changing. Going to test it soon again.

I'm pretty keen on this phone too, but my network's 3G is 900/2100.

Is this much of a dealbreaker? How much is 3G reception likely to suffer?

Is there any scope to change this with a ROM flash?

[Device Reviews and Information] simonmaignan:
Hi,

I am completely new with flashing ROM, rooting and deep knowledge of android smartphone.

I have the THL5000 since last weekend and this morning, I woke up with the exact same problem :crying:

After one day of research and learning about this problem and ROM flashing in general I found your post (hallelujah).

I never flashed a ROM or a TWRP but I guess I will manage with every tutorials online.

Can someone however explain to me a bit more about SPFT formatting. Is it dangerous? (I don't know either how to use mobileuncle to restore back my IMEI numbers). Do I need to root my phone? Should format the whole flash (a bit too much I think) or the whole flash except boot-loader (my guess here)

Thanks for your time
[Device Reviews and Information] Bal0n3yZ:
Hi Everyone,

I have been using my THL 5000 for a month now, tried 3 different roms: Stock, Bshuy and IV2012.

All 3 roms have the same problem: the connection to internet gets 'stuck' after a while (completely at random).

It's not the wifi; wifi stays connected fine all the time. Everything in my local network I can (always!) reach without any problem.

The problem is with the data that has to go through the gateway (to the internet). It just stops flowing, for some reason.

Also, it's not the accesspoint; I have a lot of other (android) devices laying around, that have no problems at all. Furthermore: this also happens when I'm at work....

At my workplace, no one else has these problems. SO, this must be a bug in the THL 5000.

If looked around the net and found some other people reporting the same problem, but no solution yet....

Is there anyone out there with the same problem, that has a solution? I would be very happy to see this solved, since it is the only problem I have with this phone.... And it's a real issue, because when the internet connection 'breaks' this means I also do not receive messages (whatsapp, hangouts, mail). This means I cannot trust my phone to notify me of any new messages....

If I cannot solve this problem, I will have to start looking out for a new phone.... :( Which is a shame, because no other phone out there has this huge battery.....

Anyone, please?
[Device Reviews and Information] chr1s0fnak1:
which advanced wifi settings are checked, is there a wifi sleep option.

I am no pro but would look at the temp which the phone cuts out at, but firstly would check the actual app that is in use at the time of problem, there are apps that are not compatible with this phone.

Do you use wifi analyzer to check connection
[Device Reviews and Information] Bal0n3yZ:
Hi chr1s0fnak1, thanks for your reply.

It's not just 1 app; It's the browser (tried several) but also Whatapp, mail.... really every app installed. Wifi shows connected, folders and files on the local network can be reached, but no new mail or messages arrive. When requesting a new webpage, the progress bar in the browser stops at about 1-5%. After a while,the browser times out.

When I reconnect to the AP, internet connection is restored, and I get my messages, mail etc. But after 10 mins to 2 hours, the problem returns.

I have tried all wifi settings I could find. Always on, sleep, power save mode etc. Also tried some tweaking with System Tuner Pro and Android Tweakers 2 (like changing DNS-servers).

Nothing helps, really.

I read a post of someone having the same issues on THLmobileStore.com. The answer he gets is: You can download the firmware fix.

However, there is no fix to be found anywhere.....

Could really use some help here, since I'm not able to solve this on my own, apparently.....
[Device Reviews and Information] Makarboy:
I had similar problems with dolphin browser, What is your browser?. I changed to UC browser and now it is perfect.
[Device Reviews and Information] ttlog:
The same thing happens with my data connection. Usually when I leave a wifi area, the phone can't connect to the 3G network even though the signal bar shows that it is. The only way I found to "cure" this, is to put the phone in airplane mode and off again. 9/10 times this fixes it. It must be a remnants of the old mediatek 6582 chip, which couldn't reconnect to the network after losing 3G connectivity.

[Device Reviews and Information] Bal0n3yZ:
I use the stock browser. Tried Dolphin and Chrome, but no joy. It's not just the browser, though: whatsapp and mail also stop syncing. Also, other apps that I use (facebook etc.) loose connection..... Only way to fix is reconnecting to the AP.
[Device Reviews and Information] jaysleem101:
Hi

For all those having problem with data and all, you should try the ROM that was posted on page 84, I flashed it and the ROM is awesome; it combines android L frame work with kitkat, the sound is greatly improved, camera is better and internet connectivity is way faster than all the other ROMs I have used, but the only problem I found is that its not compatible with titanium backup; it can't restore or back up but besides that the ROM is great.. And did I say that battery life is good too?

Dimids ROM? And your don't have any issues with WiFi not working periodically?
[Device Reviews and Information] asgaroth0:

Not Dimids ROM

I've not tried this one, I am still using Dimids ROM but am having wifi issues with it.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Is it in english?

How's the GPS?

Can we use Helium or Ultimate Backup to save the apps + data?

We flash normally as other ROM? Recovery TWRP > Install?

Can you put it on needrom? I tried to download it like 3 ou 4 times, they all failed.

[Device Reviews and Information] Baumhouse:
The said ROM doesn't work for me. After the initial start I get a force close of the system ui, but setting up the Google account and installing some apps works. After a reboot the system freezes at the lockscreen. I switched back to 'Classic ROM v1.0&V2 by iv2012 THL 5000'.
[Device Reviews and Information] kasvet-efza:
Are u talking about chinese android l rom?
[Device Reviews and Information] asgaroth0:
I have exactly the same experience, after the reboot and lockup, the system just keeps rebooting for me.

I will be trying a different ROM. The Classic ROM v1.0&v2 is a very nice rom but I have wifi issues with it, so I may just go back to the stock rom
[Device Reviews and Information] Baumhouse:
Exactly. It isn't even full lollipop. Just 'lollipopish' kitkat.
[Device Reviews and Information] kasvet-efza:
I think so, its just a cosmetic lollipop. Im using classic rom V1.0 with own uptade its better than V2
[Device Reviews and Information] Baumhouse:
in what way?
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
Boys, if somebody have problems with WiFi (I have no problem), try different modem driver from here:

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=534208&view=findpost&p=29923162

I used the last one driver to resolving CLIR issue (is in every ROM). I think new modem driver should solve your problems with WiFi. Try it and write here.

You have to be log in to russian page, if you want to download from there. If you will problems with russian language, write me, send you file.

What CLIR issue?

I don't have problem with Wifi, but data connection is very slow. It shows a "E" next to signal indicator instead of a "G". Do that momem files also work for data connection problems? Oh, this is on Classic ROM V2 that i installed today. I have installed the dialer.zip, SystemUI_st101.zip and MT6592_communication_module35P6_2014jul24.zip.

Russian forum

To everybody: russian link works well only if you have account on russian forum… You have to be log in there…

For those who do not have an account on the Russian forum upload all modems here:

modems from THL - http://uloz.to/xi9fLcFm/thl-modemy-zip

modem from Jiayu G5S - http://uloz.to/xKqjXvpk/jiayu-g5s-modem-zip

standard THL 5000 modem - http://uloz.to/x3AaYgbB/modem-st-zip

900MHz modem - http://uloz.to/xNPR9qhn/modem-900-zip

Standard modem supports 3G speeds 800/850/2000MHz. A new 900MHz modem support 3G speeds 900/2000Mhz.
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
I think mobile network of your mobile operator support only 900MHz 3G net speed. Standard THL modem doesn't support this frequency.

So, you have to install a new 900MHz modem - I am sure it will help you. :) Install it from TWRP.

[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
If you install the 900MHz modem, you must delete the folder /data/nvram for the new frequencies to appear in band selection menu in engineering more.
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
This patch (Modem_900.zip) will make it automatic. No need to delete it manually.

See to script:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7", "/data");

delete("/system/etc/firmware/modem_1_wg_n.img");

delete_recursive("/data/nvram");

Slow crash

I have problem with dolphin too, its my browser of choice as it is so flash compatible, may when this crashes it slows down some other apps. I would like to know why. Im using chrome now
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
rbt07, first of all, thanks for having the work to put here the files. I have tried to create an account on the 4pda forum, but it was showing me some error. I was using the translator of course.

I installed that modem_900 file and yay! 3G is working again. However, if i select only 900Mhz on engineer mode and reboot (i think this is needed), no 3G service. The signal only shows the letter "E", only 2G mode, if i go to Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > 3G service > Network Mode and set 3G only, no data or voice signal whatsoever. I guess the 900Mhz is not working afterall. Oh my operator is 900/2100. If i set WCDMA-IMT-2000 on engineer mode, i got signal again, both data and voice. Why does it says 2000 if band is 2100?!

ccav2000 is saying we got to delete nvram, do all those modem files do that automatically? Ok, modem_900 did, but what about the others?

EDIT: Ok, the modem_900 and modem_st files, delete the nvram, but the other modem files do not. As i installed the MT6592_communication_module35P6_2014jul24.zip file when i installed the ROM, i wonder if that was the problem for me not having 3G service :/

Hi, Have you tried to switch to a different SuperUser app? I had that same problem with another phone. I installed ClockworkMod Superuser app (and flash the related binaries) after having removed the pre-installed SU app and Titanium Bkp was working after that...

Try it and let me know! I'm going to receive my THL at the end of the week and I'm planing to try that too.

The only correct way is to use TWRP + Superuser, as is decribed here (sorry in slovak languge only, use google translator):

Noisy Images are due to ridiculous high ISO values, these must be limited to something below 800 to be ok
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
[MENTION=6058294]sansanc[/MENTION] only delete nvram if you use the original modem or the 900MHz modem, both are version V34P2. If you install any other version, deleting /data/nvram will result in loss of 3G. If you want to try other modem, do so but not delete the /data/nvram folder.
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
My answer:

- do not setup nothing, only install new modem driver, it is all what you have to do

- I do not understand why the original and 900MHz modems is the frequency 2000 and not 2100

- installation file for the modem 900MHz clears NVRAM, other modem installation files not (you have to clear NVRAM manually)
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Ok, i thought i had to delete the nvram each time i installed a new modem. Anyway i copied one of the other modem firmwares to the modem_900 zip file so the script deleted the nvram for me. I got no 3G service and slots were swapped. Something wrong with those firmwares. I'm going to do the same with older ones, but they still are more recent than the one in modem_900.
[Device Reviews and Information] jaysleem101:
You got it. I flashed superuser for android L from chainfire instead of the normal CWM superuser.

[Device Reviews and Information] jaysleem101:
Each time you restart the phone, it keeps rebooting without booting fully especially when battery is below 20%.
[Device Reviews and Information] enzobelmont:
to overcome the reboot issue, I keep pushed the power button until feel a short vobration, then free the button and VOILA!...

anyone know how to get a working play store?

mine has problems, it closes due to a google play services error.

UPDATE: Nope, it do not work :(
[Device Reviews and Information] jaysleem101:
I have found a way to stop the rebooting issue. All you have to do is after flashing the rom, wipe cache/dalvick cache twice before rebooting the phone, that's all. The only problem now is the playstore force close issue. Still looking for a way to fix that. This rom is very cool. Better sound improvement, and battery life.
[Device Reviews and Information] theoverfiend:
Have you installed lucky patcher or moded playstore?... Try to install the play store from the lucky patcher

[Device Reviews and Information] asgaroth0:
Do you wipe the cache/delvick cache from TWRP after flashing? So for a newbie like me the steps I would follow are:

[1] Boot into TWRP (I have v2.8.1.0)

[2] Wipe

[3] Flash (no reboot)

[4] Wipe (cache + delvick cache)

[5] Wipe (cache + delvick cache)

[6] Reboot

Does that look about right?

Previously when I flashed this rom I did the above excluding [4] & [5] above and had the play store and rebooting issue.
[Device Reviews and Information] jaysleem101:
Yeah, wipe cache and dalvick cache in twrp.
