Do you have Textra installed?

Mine started doing exactly the same today after a couple updates, one of which was Textra.

I unninstalled it and haven't frozen since.

The screen seems to be off, but the phone is working, I manage to type the lockscreen password, keep power button pressed and click to shut down.

All that with the screen all black.

Let me know if it's the same thing regarding Textra.
[Device Reviews and Information] kgkoutzis:
Just to mention that my THL5000 did the same thing yesterday, just like you described. No Textra installed. Facebook does not load anymore though. Any way we can debug this?
[Device Reviews and Information] edcoolio:
Are you still stock on your THL 5000? Or do you have another ROM installed?
[Device Reviews and Information] chaosyndrome:
Scratch what I said earlier, it has nothing to do with Textra, it still does the same thing.

Mine is stock.

I'm just backing up my sms and will do a full reset to see if it works.
[Device Reviews and Information] kgkoutzis:
Yes stock... for now.
[Device Reviews and Information] FoX80:
Me too with stock rom and root and no Textra.

Titanium not working allways saying I do not have enough space (altought 9Gbs + free on sd card)

I' m going to try Helium and hard reset and hope for the best... if everyone has any ideas, I' m all years.
[Device Reviews and Information] FoX80:
Hard reset done.

"Invalid IMEIs" thought :(

I' m going to try to restore them...

EDIT: IMEIs restored ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] kgkoutzis:
Two cents: had Avast antivirus; uninstalled -- reinstalled; phone hasn't crashed yet... We'll see.
[Device Reviews and Information] FoX80:
Now, when restoring the apps, I realized the phone had problems with Facebook Messenger. My wife with THL W200c had the same problems that disappeared unistalling the app!

Maybe a coincedence but now I'm using Facebook Lite and zero problems...
[Device Reviews and Information] wooley4766:
Facebook messenger is a battery eater and crashes a lot.

no need to install it since u can load in browser.

Anybody allready ported the new bugless cm12.2 from MTKroms?

I'm not a porter since my pc runs linux and all tools are windows,but i would like to test new roms.
[Device Reviews and Information] edcoolio:
I'll second this: has anyone ported the cm12.2? I see on needrom the cm12.1 version 97a was updated on Jan. 14th. I'm going to give that one a shot and will report back after using it as a daily driver. As for facebook, I do not use it, so unfortunately I cannot help...

Also using lite 2.1, which completely solved all bad data connectivity problems via 3g (850Mhz for ATT/Cricket/StraightTalk) from the updated 1.1.2 OEM.

Hello,

I´ve one THL 5000 from a friend, I instaled on this a STOCK ROM , and flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 to install CM12.1 , but someting error brink the phone, now is in THL logo and freeze here.

Any ideia how force shutdown this to entry in flashmode and flash STOCK ROM again ?? the phone is no removable battery, and try long press on power buton , + vol, - vol, etc... and this don´t shut down, any help please?

Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] edcoolio:
To kill (disconnect) battery from the THL 5000:

Remove battery cover.

Remove SIM 1

Behind SIM 1 is a small red button. When this button is pressed, it is exactly the same as taking out the battery.

For example, pressing the button for 1 second is the same as taking the battery out for one second. Pressing the button for 5 minutes is the same as taking the battery out for 5 minutes.

While button pressed = no power to device
[Device Reviews and Information] edcoolio:
There is no ROM available (that I know of) allowing encryption.

User Hatriano on needrom uploaded the Magnesium developed version of Meecrob's CM 12.1 on Mega http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmega.nz%2F%23!UdMEzZrJ!S-9OxqXuLs8GMgz2ynaPoQKKeB-5jmHQf9MABbxMKRw

This can be flashed on an existing CM 12.1 followed by Gapps and SuperSU without a factory reset. Personally I didnt find any major difference and I think it caused some bugs in receiving voice calls so I reverted back to 0.97 (CM 12.1)

Can someone help with the repartitioning of the internal memory?

I've followed the guide posted here but I'm unable to mount the /data partition. When I try to change its file system, it shows up as 0MB and cant be mounted at all. Is there an updated guide?
[Device Reviews and Information] stanlawren:
You must have made a mistake somewhere during partitioning and allocating sizes.

Which ebr file did you download?
[Device Reviews and Information] razrab1755:
I'm nothing uderstend!
[Device Reviews and Information] AgentCain:
I used the EBR files from this post . The scatter file is the one that comes with the original ROM, as its the ROM Im using right now (I just got the phone, didn't have much time to try any others)
[Device Reviews and Information] stanlawren:
You only need one of the ebr files.

The 4gb comes with the phone by default.

I expanded mine to 10gb without issues.
[Device Reviews and Information] AgentCain:
One? Which one would that be? EBR1 or EBR2?
[Device Reviews and Information] zijin_cheng:
Anyone still having trouble with constantly disconnecting WiFi? My sister is using this phone and she's complaining about it.
[Device Reviews and Information] antivirtel:
I have problems with the 4 GBs also. What guide did you use to expand the partition?
[Device Reviews and Information] AgentCain:
Just flashing EBR1 and EBR2 makes things worse.

As a result the /system and /data partition become unmounted which results to a bootloop. You cannot remount them.

I've tried the 10GB version with the same results. I've even tried flashing the stock ROM using these EBR files. No good.
[Device Reviews and Information] ssfssf:
Maybe you should try this (EBR) and resolve the issue without pickin where you shouldnt pick => HKPHONEROMEDITTOR2014
[Device Reviews and Information] stanlawren:
Did you remember to change the file systems after flashing?

Also don't forget to change the SD file system to FAT.

It's all in the guide in the link you posted
[Device Reviews and Information] AgentCain:
I will try that, thanks.

Yes I did. It is during this process that I found out the /data partition can't be mounted. All others (sd, system, cache) were changed successfully.

[Device Reviews and Information] antivirtel:
So do someone know the link to full tutorial? Eg. I'm fine with ext4 filesystem, I don't know if kernel too?

BTW, what if I just want one partition? I don't really like separating them...

No problems with my wifi here at home. Coffee shops or shopping mall some times a shaky connection and the occasional coffee shop yes. But the latter is their problem, not my phone as I'm easily connected at home without any disconnects or slowdowns in DL speeds.

Hello everyone!

I would like to root the THL 5000 that my son bought, he needs to backup all data (sms, logs… everything) and it appears that he can't if not rooted (using Super Backup, from the Play Store).

I tried to follow this tutorial: http://www.editandroid.com/how-to-root-thl-5000-with-android-version-4-4-kitkat/ but once at the stage : "Now click on the option “make it rain” which appears in the centre of the screen. A message just stated it could not work "with this device".

The Android version is KitKat 4.4.2. Do you know about another tool which could allow rooting the THL 5000?

Best regards,

Meylodie
[Device Reviews and Information] meylodie:
Hi,

I found a working solution, went here: http://hexamob.com/android-rooting-method-kingroot/

and installed the "Kingroot" app on the device properly configured, followed the instructions from the website, and go! It worked wonderfully. From then we have been able to use Super Backup, and backup the sms, discussions, bookmarks and so forth.
[Device Reviews and Information] antivirtel:
It was about extending the internal partition (/data).

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with sound. My speaker doesnt work, my microphone doesnt work and when I plug in earphones, I get sound "sssshhhhshhhshhhshhhh".

What is the problem? Could be the speaker module at the bottom of the phone? Is microphone located inside the same module?
[Device Reviews and Information] Danny94:
Hey,

yeah could be that your speaker module (or how it spelled) is broken. I had the same problem with another phone, eveything is working well just speaker and microphone doesnt work anymore.

Then i bought the module online and install it. After that i dont get a problem more and it wasnt much expensive.

But first of all you can try take a look if something doesnt fit (loosely ?).
[Device Reviews and Information] Dr.Weed1:
Nothing is loosely, so it must be that module. Thank you very much for your response. I appreciate it! :good:

Over on 4PDA developer Magnesium has released a newer revision of CyanogenMod 12.1 for THL 5000. Unfortunately only registered users can download and registering on 4PDA.ru is only possible by answering a captcha with Cyrillic text. Infact, there is even a CyanogenMod 13 release for THL5000 by developer LGNeko also on 4PDA site as sources for MTK6592 and MTK6582 have already been released by Mediatek. So the only thing remains is for someone with a 4PDA.ru account who can upload these versions elsewhere.

LP & MM a No Go

LP and MM will never be ported to this successfully, there will always be something broken, interest in this phone has stopped.

This was a 1st gen phone when it came out, it made quite the splash with the battery size.

But now there are better phones for less $ WITH fingerprint readers available in 5.5" screens and comparable battery's.

And even battery technology has vastly improved over the past 2 years, you get a deeper charge that lasts longer with a smaller battery now.

This is a 2014 phone, its over 2 years old and in technology terms, it time fir the recycle bin. I cant even get a battery for mine......:p

I'm in Canada and THLPhone(dot)com will not ship here.

I purchase from AliExpress and received a THL 4000 battery, its too small L x W and thinner (5mm vs 8mm), each reseller has the same crap, and they post it as a "Genuine, 100% Original THL 5000, 5000mAh Battery" .... BS come in many forms.

I also noticed that all the THL 5000 battery's @ eBay resellers were the same thing, THL 4000 battery, read the reviews.

[Device Reviews and Information] edcoolio:
Personally, when dealing with AliExpress, I would be very careful and message suppliers with the exact part number to make sure there is a match. Photos mean nothing. Also make it clear you want an OEM product.

Never mark sale complete until everything works. If it doesn't, dispute the sale, stick to your guns until you get your refund.

Also, I do not believe the website you listed is actually run/owned by THL, although I could be wrong...

Maybe the best place to start is by checking out the actual corporate THL website. There is a list of approved suppliers and also company e-mail contacts.

Start with: aftersale@thl.com.cn
[Device Reviews and Information] UnableToResetOldProfile:
AliExpress and eBay resellers will promise you anything for a sale, or they refuse to answer you question, or they are evasive, or they play stupid.

I don't bother disputing a wrong product sent, now I just claim it didn't arrive and I demand a refund. All in all, I'm not actually lying, I really didn't receive the item I ordered......

thlphone(dot)com is an online store for THL.

en.thl.com(dot)cn is the official site.

aftersale(at)thl.com has not responded to my emails.

I'm sniffing around the Blackview BV6000 as my next purchase. I'm just waiting for a recovery to be posted. Nothing worse than have to sort through a Chinese recovery, its hit or miss, or hit and brick!
[Device Reviews and Information] jy_P:
At least on eBay you have a ok/good protection... On AliExpress, it gets as good as the seller is. If you have to fight and request AliExpress to help you will most likely lose...

eBay and AliExpress lie constantly.

Like I posted, don't dispute a wrong item, just claim that you didn't receive the item you ordered if indeed it is not what they posted ..... You are not lying, my SO is a Lawyer, she advised me.

And actually I have had good luck with refunds from eBay and AliExpress because of this method, other independent company's not so good (ThLPhone.com screwed me for $295 for a THL T7).

Banggood is fabulous, I really like dealing with them, their price's are great, shipping is fast, in-house warranty, knowledgeable staff and for only $1.50 you can add tracking to your free shipping. I have spent more with them than eBay/Ali combined.

I have built 2 complete racing quads (1 for me and 1 for my SO) and purchased a Blackview BV6000's from Banggood, I can recommend them. They even cover the return shipping up to $50.00 USD for defective merchandise or wrong items sent......Can eBay/Ali beat that?!

I have THL 5000 for sale, bad battery and cracked LCD, digitizer is OK, IMEI is good, is being used on the Rogers network in Canada....Never THL again, battery didn't last 16 months and it puffed up due to the supplied charger making it over heat...SOL:(:p
