If you want to use original OTA update, you can't uninstall nothing from the original ROM.

If you removed something, you have to use this modified TWRP install file - http://uloz.to/xe36y4pE/thl5000-v1-1-1-twrp-zip

There are some small changes:

* Root Shell

* Support init.d

* Integrated Root

* Installing busybox

Same for me. I have not checked GPS but my screen is messed up horribly now. Everything is too saturated, I'v got color banding and it's just too dark + yellowy/orange. I think my gamma is even off the chart (>3).

Damnit, and I even looked into this thread before updating to take no risks but as everyone seemed to be happy about it...
[Device Reviews and Information] enzobelmont:
now you need a restore gamma patch, to get old gamma setings!

so (we) first batch users are f*cked becuse this "improving" patch, we can not longer apply updates without screwing our screens...
[Device Reviews and Information] koolxs:
Oh come on! Why do you blame the others?

If you were happy with your screen so far, if you did not believe all those (me included) that reported this problem, why did you bother flashing the patch?
[Device Reviews and Information] enzobelmont:
Wait! I am blaming on that sh*tty company named THL, not on their phone users, BTW I am not applying every new patch before it is tested by some users. Thank god my screen is still in its original colors. I am angry because of the THL poor users support. This particular problem was due to the low quality control from the manufacturer.
[Device Reviews and Information] thepop3:
Could someone (if this is possible) create an update.zip to reverse the changes in the kernel or do I have to reflash 1.1.0 manually?

And I'm wondering if the wrong gamma setting is because I had to flash a rather recent THL 5000 model with 1.0.8 (or was it .7?) in order to install OTA 1.0.9 (I had deleted system apps). Maybe there are slight differences in the firmwares and the 1.1.1 update took my device for an older batch because of the reflash...

Oh and I did like my screen as it was before although I do think gamma was too low (1.4). So I thought the update could yet improve the screen even further.
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
OK I will prepare patch to restore old gama settings - for people with display from first series.

[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
That will be hard, you need the UBOOT from a THL5000 that was never updated to 1.1.1. Restoring just the kernel does NOT work, I tried.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Ok, so we can use this patch on Classic V2?

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Hmm, did you update OTA or used the patch here? Will 1.1.1 appear OTA to first batch users or only to second batch?

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Here, they say it will. http://www.thlmobilestore.com/thl-5...android-4-2-2gb-32gb-smartphone-5-0-inch.html

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Ok, i used the patch rbt07 put here, on Classic V2 and it worked. Thanks rbt07! Colors are definitely darker. On whatsapp the chat "ballons" are darker indeed. :good:

Let's see when THL will release Lollipop and if the fixes will keep coming.
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
I managed to restore the old UBOOT + Kernel using the SP Flash tool. My Gamma is back to normal ( I have the normal screen that didn't have problem but became too dark with the new 1.1.1 OTA).

I made a TWRP backup or UBOOT + Kernel from 1.1.0, if anyone wants it I will upload it somewhere.
[Device Reviews and Information] gomorrha:
Please do, would be much appreciated...Installed the OTA on a non rooted phone from 1.1.0. My gamma is also 3.0 now. Looks like I will have to mess with this thing afterall lol.
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
I will shortly, but you need to have at least the TWRP recovery instead of the stock one.

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

OK, here is my backup. To use it, uncompress the zip on the sdcard in the folder TWRP/BACKUPS/5000. If done properly, you will have a folder named "Original UBOOT and kernel from 1.1.0" created, the full path will be TWRP/BACKUPS/5000/Original UBOOT and kernel from 1.1.0/. Then reboot to the TWRP recovery, select the "Original UBOOT and kernel from 1.1.0" backup and restore it, both uboot and boot must be selected. Reboot normally and your gamme will be back like it was with 1.1.0.

[MENTION=3344838]ccav2000[/MENTION]: Thanks a lot! Does this keep all my settings/data? If it does I'll try to root and install TRWP.

[MENTION=6058294]sansanc[/MENTION]: I used OTA. Unrooted/unmodified phone - except that I had to reflash stock ROM. I'd guess it's from the second batch as I bought it recently and it had a firmware from July/August (I think) on it.
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
[MENTION=4646237]thepop3[/MENTION] It does not affect the user data in any way.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Check your gamma levels, if it's too high 2.4+, probably your phone was from first batch.

So I want the 9H 3mm Tempered glass screen protector for my phone, unfortunately they don't make one for it.

Is anyone aware of some other model that will fit, not just the length and width, but will accommodate the ear piece and camera lens as well?
[Device Reviews and Information] gomorrha:
Thanks a lot! After getting it rooted and installing TWRP, I did exactly what you said and what do you know...it's back to its old self, thank god! The gamma is now 1.6 (still not exactly perfect, but a LOT better than 3.0) again.
[Device Reviews and Information] thepop3:
I used Sp Flashtool to get TWRP Mod without rooting, after some struggling (didn't know how to get into TWRP, short press Vol+ had me ending up in the old recovery menu, Vol - and I was stuck in that damn factory testing menu in Chinese) I finally have the old gamma setting again! No data lost in the process! Hugs and kisses to you, my friend! :good: :highfive: :cool:

Oops, gomorrha was faster. :) It appears to be a gamma value of 1.8 now.

I was a linux guy in the past and this makes me wonder. Is it possible to compile a new kernel for our phone? I mean, how the custom ROM guys do? Use the stock kernel or compile a new one? I mean, it should be possible to modigy the gamma values on the driver, no? If i can change the gamma values of intel graphic chip on my HP laptop, then it should be possible to alter on our phones.
[Device Reviews and Information] jaspeao:
Impossibly is nothing

hello again, i installed your version of the new stock update froom needrom, and i wanted to ask, if i want to have the powerfix patch, i have to install the framework patch that you left at needrom? cuz it says "changed power profle"

just wanted to know :) thanks in advance ^^
[Device Reviews and Information] UnicoIjo:

[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
Boys here are two fixies:

Boot_Uboot_111.zip - from original ROM 1.1.1. - set gama for new displays

Boot_Uboot_110.zip - from original ROM 1.1.0. - set gama for old displays

Install it from TWRP.
[Device Reviews and Information] bigbaldbloke:
I tried the full 1.1.11 this morning, and still no joy with this. Could someone (preferably with the "old" screen) please go into Mobile Uncle, swipe across to Hardware, choose Sensors, PS Sensor and see what happens when you tap on Calibrate? I get "Calibration Failed" on every ROM that I try.

I think it's due to a missing ps_kadc file in /sys/devices/virtual/optical_sensors/proximity/

bbb
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
Do you really have original ROM 1.1.11? :)

Calibration does not work on any ROM, you're probably in the phone faulty sensor.
[Device Reviews and Information] kingboy007:
Guys my phone is rooted to get update 1.1.1 do i need only unroot my phone then update it and or does this work too if i disable root from supersu then update it?
[Device Reviews and Information] bigbaldbloke:
I've tried the TWRP full version. The sensor's an oddity to me - testing apps show that it's working fine (both proximity and light), but I had a lot of issues to begin with, with the screen coming alive during calls. So far (.....) it seems to be behaving itself.

So the sensors seem to be working fine in testing apps, but with the above file missing, it seems like Android isn't using the sensors correctly.
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
This is not proof that the sensor is OK. We had a similar case on the Czech discussion. Seemingly sensor works, but not really. If the sensor is not working properly on other ROM also, is defective. If does not work well only in one ROM a bug is in the ROM.
[Device Reviews and Information] koolxs:
The 1.1.1 patch is the one you published before, that brings 2.0 gamma, or did you alter previous version for 1.8 gamma?
[Device Reviews and Information] Bogart05:
Please help... My power button is not functioning, for now i am using the smart gesture to turn on and off my phone
[Device Reviews and Information] bigbaldbloke:
I'm struggling to get my head around this, unless there's some kind of read-only driver on the board itself. Hardware-wise, the sensor is functional - it consistently reports back to the testing software, and that surely shows that, at a base level, it is operating correctly. So to me it surely has to be a software issue somewhere, although I don't understand Android architecture well enough to nail down precisely where.

I get what you mean about if all ROMs fail, and the MIUI port didn't pick it up either, so does an Android phone have drivers on board? This is a dual sensor, both light and proximity, so it's clearly a single problem. I wonder if early buyers (those with the good screens) have the same problem and the same sensor (RPR410).
[Device Reviews and Information] renatos8:
I have exactly the same problem and it is really annoying, sometimes i must push the button 4 times before it unlocks. I also set smart gesture but that is not the solution i want of course.

Someone can help us?
[Device Reviews and Information] Orlando Souza:
Thank you guys for this discussion, it's enlightening :)

Rbarat, can I flash the v3 rom you changed over the original v3 one without wiping? Can someone confirm this?
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
It is the same.

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

I think you can do upgrade (instal my multilanguage over 4 languages version).

Never tried it. Make backup before upgrade.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

Probably bad button. It happens often at THL phones . The button can replace any better service.
[Device Reviews and Information] Orlando Souza:
Thanks rbt07. Just one problem I'm having:

I'm trying to backup apps with 3c toolbox (android tuner) and IMEI with mobileuncle tools, but on the first I get nothing, it doesnt recognize folders, and on the second I get the message: "cant find sd card?" on both sd and internal storage.

Does someone know how to solve this?
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
Go to Settings/Storage/Default write disk - set SD card. Then phone restart.

Now open Google Play and install SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD

Restart phone and SD card will be writable.

KitKat brings a big change in security.
[Device Reviews and Information] Orlando Souza:
Thanks for the support, but it didnt work at all. It says I dont have those problems.

Also, I can use helium backup normally, but 3c tool box cant access sdcards (it stays blank), mobileuncle cant create IMEI file and titanium make very tiny files (~10-100KB files), and when I reopen it doesnt recognize them as backups. I'm sad :crying:

(using v3 classiv by Dimid)

Maybe if I update with yours. I'll try.
[Device Reviews and Information] arcanoid0:
How you did that?in smart gestures area it has only some fixed operations like open the screen ect.

on screen time total was just over 6 hrs.

good/bad/acceptable?

Camera was used for about 20 mins total ( a lot of filming 1080p video)

and about 600mb uploading to magisto;

web browsing and picture viewing/random whats app msgs took up most of the other 5 out of 6 hrs.
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
I don't have the device yet, if all goes well the post may deliver it by the end of this week, otherwise next week. With the usage you describe, the battery seems comparable to my Nexus 7 (2012) tablet and actually better since my tablet doesn't do filming. It is currently at 30% with only 4hrs screen on.

Hey guys,

I was googling more THL 5000 reviews just to see whats new and decided to bounce some ideas off the company that I bought my phone from.

They have a support section that is rare for many Chinese online sellers, and they have posted this:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Imagingdragon/517140035078729?sk=app_190322544333196

Its the official firmware and rooting tools for the MT6592 chipset and is official for the THL 5000!

I don't have facebook account so I cannot confirm, this, but I hope this will help out some of the users here that have problems or are looking to root their handsets!!

Looks like they will have a group-buy for the THL 5000 pretty soon, so if you are on the fence for this great handset, this will probably get you across with the help of a trust-worthy retailer!!
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
I had a look, it's only the Flash Tool for now, no ROM yet.
[Device Reviews and Information] ttlog:
Well, I decided to take the plunge and flashed the twrp recovery with FlashTools. I used the scatter file from the 1.0.6 and just ticked recovery. Thankfully it worked. Now only titanium backup remains to be fixed.
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
If you feel like experimenting, there are a couple of xposed modules that claim they restore write access to the SD card. Of course that means you need to root the device and install xposed first, but since you already installed TWRP, you can backup the entire ROM first.
[Device Reviews and Information] ttlog:
Well when I had 1.0.6 I had installed XPosed, but it made the phone really sluggish plus GravityBox didn't work well. While I had it, I did install an SDFix but had no effect.I might retry though :)
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
Strange, other users reported good operation of GravityBox.
[Device Reviews and Information] ttlog:
Yes, perhaps it was me. It somehow conflicted with the battery percentage (it kept showing zero %)

Internal storage and fonts problem

Hi, I bought this phone a couple of days ago, and I have two problems that I hope someone could help me with.

First is that the internal storage is mounted as sdcard0 and the SD card as sdcard1 which means that I can't move apps to the internal storage. The other one is that the fonts that can be selected in Display>Font type don't show letters č, ć etc. which are common in my language. I guess that both problems are solvable by editing some system files, but I'm not certain which ones and I'd like to solve them (though I don't think it's possible) without rooting because I don't know if rooting would void my warranty.

Hello everyone!

Few days ago I have became part of the THL 5000 club :)

The device is great, but I have faced a strange issue that I don't know how to resolve.

I am using the following type of case (see the attached file)

When I have missed call or unread SMS or notification (calendar etc) - the little screen with the digital clock shows notification on the top right corner.

The problem is that even if I check the missed call, read the SMS or delete them, the notification remains on the small screen unless I reboot the device. I could not find a way to "refresh" these stats.

Anyone with any ideas where can I find some settings for it or how can I resolve that?

By the way, what's the name of the little screen which shows up when I close the case's cover?
