Really works. Like you said: "SP Flash Tool works like a charm...".

About the phone detection I had some dificulty but finally i did like this:

1. [Phone] Reboot the phone in "Recovery mode" (my case CWM);

2. [PC] "Download" button in SP Flash Tool (waiting for phone detection);

3. [Phone] "Reboot Recovery" item on the Recovery;

... and SP Flash Tool began the magic! Done. ;D

[General Questions and Answers] Rebox:
Dear friends,

I have this problem: I got a brand new TCL S720 and the Google Play did not work, being a known rom issue. So, before doing anything, I've managed to make a backup of it's original rom with MTK Droid tools whichI supose it did it well. Then I've tried to install a CWM recovery to try a custom rom for it. The CWM recovery seemed to install succesfully but I didn't manage to install the new rom. If I remember well, it stucked on boot logo. Then tried to revert at it's original stock recovery, managed to have the phone back as it was in initial state, but doing more tries, It remained stucked on boot logo. The problem is that my computer doesn't recognise it anymore, when I connect it to USB it tries to install MTP usb driver but even before the driver was installed well, now it refuse to install, like the driver is not good or the proper driver doesn't exist. So the only thing I can do is to boot on stock recovery mode but even I tried to copy the original rom as update.zip on external SD and to flash the phone using install update from sd card in recovery mode, It doesn't find the external sd card. So I'm stuck here, the computer doesn't detect the phone to try flashing it with SP flash tool or MTK Droid tool, and I also can't flash it from sd card. I have to say that I hardly manage to get into recovery mode using volume+ and power button, after many tries. Have you any idea how to make it work again?

Thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] Barbas23:
Solution

Guys, I just bought this phone, And i find the solution for google play. The problem is that the TCL S720 doesnt exist in the google database. So the solution is to change your phone "Name" and "Model".

Here is what i've done:

1: Install root explorer or something similar.

2: Go to /System and open the build.prop with an editor.

3: Change this 3 lines:

ro.product.model=

ro.product.name=

ro.product.device=

I change them for the galaxy note 4( find them in the forum)

ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-N910A

ro.product.name=trlteuc

ro.product.device=trlteatt

4. Save, and reboot your phone.

This way, its working, you can change it for every phone you want, just google for the 3 lines. :good:

Thanks for sharing this !

But too late for me as I didn't made a backup of it's orriginal rom and I can't find it anywhere... :( I would like to revert to it. Could you make a full backup of your stock rom and upload somewhere? Many people would apreciate that as none did a backup of the rom before they flashed a custom rom, as I did too and I wasn't satisfied of none of it. So, could you make a backup (ask people here on the forum if you don't know how to do it) of your rom and share it with us?

Thank you.

TCL S720 playstore fix

Hello my friends, I have the same problem but now I find solution.

Here is like Barbas23 wrote (thanks to him) , but:

Original build prop in my s720 was:

ro.product.model=TCL S720

ro.product.name=Cross5.5

ro.product.device=TCL_S720

but it has to be:

ro.product.model=TCL S720

ro.product.name=Cross55 (no dot between !!)

ro.product.device=TCL S720 (no underline but space !!)

Hello, I changed the properties to these values (no spelling mistakes) and rebooted the device but playstore isn't working.

Can you please check again if these are the right ones ?

I want to try this with another phone's values but i am afraid if that could stuck my phone after rebooting ?
[General Questions and Answers] sylwekpi:
First, check after rebooting buid.prop whether your changes are properly saved . If so, maybe you have different problem... Other internet conections are working properly? Like browser or gmail ??

I checked after rebooting and the changes were saved, also the internet working properly with browser and gmail, everything is fine.

I also can't make a backup of the stock rom because the MTK Droid Tools can't detect my device even though i installed pdanet before. Do you or anyone have this problem ?

Don't know if i should try with other's phone build props ?
[General Questions and Answers] TheBrain7:
Play Store solution

First thanks to Barbas23 and sylwekpi for their posts about the build.prop file even though their property values didn't helped me, but they lead me to the solution.

The values that worked for me are:

ro.product.model=TCL S720

ro.product.name=TCL_S720

ro.product.device=Cross55

I read these values from a chinese ROM build.prop file.

This is in depth explanation for fixing the Play Store problem. If you know how to change the property value you don't have to read this, but if you have any issues after changing the values i recommend to go step by step.

Do the next steps:

1) I used ES File Explorer (AndroidApp). When you open this app (it might ask you for superuser access, if it does press allow) go to options (left top corner) then under Tools change Root Explorer to ON and click on it. When you enter Root Explorer menu go to Mount R/W. Change /system to RW(if it isn't already). Press OK. Then press right next to the options button (on the right of the options button). It will open History tab. Look for the / Device tab and press it. Then look for the system folder. After that look for build.prop file. Open it with ES NOTE Editor. Then press on the right top button and choose edit. After that you can change the value of the ro.product.model, ro.product.name and ro.product.device to the above values. Then go back and it will ask you if you want to save the changes. Save them and exit ES File Explorer. After that shut down you device and power it up (reboot).

2) When you power on the device check if the changes you have done are there (use ES File Explorer to find the Device/system/build.prop file, same as step 1). If the values are changed exit ES File Explorer, go to settings and under accounts press Google(this Google tab will appear only if you have tried to log on the playstore with your account before). Press on your account then press options button on the device (on the lefr/right side of the home button) then press remove account. After this exit everything.

3) Go to Settings --> Aplication manager then swipe to All. Find Google Play Store and press it, then press clear data and go back. Then find Google Services Framework. Enter it and clear data same as before.

4) Finally, open Play Store and log in (it will ask you to log in because you removed the google account with step 2). It should work.

Sorry for the log length of the thread but i wanted it to be helpful for the newbie guys and gals also :). Hope you all make it. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply Rebox.

My problem was the USB slot....... I never suspected it, since everything worked fine. I could transfer files, charge the phone, install the correct drivers etc. so i thought everything is ok with the slot. I realized that MTK Droid Tools wasn't recogniznig my phone because of the USB slot after i instaled new ROM and tried different USB slot (It was not because of the old ROM problem, since the old slot wasn't working appropriately on the new ROM either). When i tried the new USB slot MTK Droid Tools recognized my phone. Now i can use SPFlash tools also :).

I installed the the ROM like this:

- Installed the CWM recovery for tcl s720 with MobileUncleTools from SDcard (found it on internet because MobileUncleTools couldn't find it automatically).

- Placed the custom ROM in SDcard.

- Reebot in recovery with MobileUncleTools and from there on made backup and installed the new ROM.

I am currently using this ROM wwwDOTneedromDOTcom/download/redmi-vifrom-ported-to-tcl-s720t/[/url] It is very stable, the phone runs lot smoother, PlayStore works, even the touch respons better (not joking), Antutu always between 28000 - 29000, you can access the gallery from camera, capacitive buttons vibrate. The problems Ifound so far are that the compass isn't working and the phone can't distinct between phone storage and SDcard storage. Maybe this ROM is not the best but it's certainly better than the stock for me. I am not taking any responsibility if u have any issues after instaing this ROM, I am just sharing my experience.

If anyone has better ROM then this, share you experience and put a link. :)

Don't install chinesse ROMs because even if they have English language (which you will have to find how to change in that chinesse menu) still there will chinesse too. I tried a chinesse ROM that someone on this thread recommended and i couldn't install PlayStore and also it was full of adds.

Re Google Playstore

I have bought an S720 and when arrived playstore did not work. The problem lies because of the lousy web browser that is included. I have removed it and installed google chrome and play store now works. You need to enter playstore to download google chrome and if you dont manage flash your phone by first switch it off then by holding volume down doen press the power button and you will enter the flash menu in Chinese. Choose where there is in english written emmc (Using the volume to go up and down and power button to choose) and the phone will flah and reboot. Then you will able to enter to playstore for a bit, Download google chrome and uninstall the default browser. Mine is working with no problems using stock rom .:fingers-crossed:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_rooter:
Hey guys I am having an issue currently.

I am like 100% knowlegdable with Odin, and how to return a phone back to complete stock, but right now I am at a slump, and for the life of me can't figure out what the issue is.

Last night I went to flash via odin, and I made sure I have the correct files. In fact they were correct because I used them before. I for the pit file and put that in, and then I went to put the tar file into the ap slot, and it didnt show in the folder at all. I went back to the folder and it was there, but the phone for some reason odin doesnt reconize it anymore.

** Another question is I also have another laptop that I use ubuntu on. Can Odin be used on this to do a flash stock or not? Or is there another method? I just want to make sure that when it comes time to sell the phone that I can flash it back for the next person.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjh68:
I just flashed last night with Odin and one thing I noticed was that the files usually have an extra .md5 or .zip at the end . Once I renamed file and just deleted the .zip and .md5 Odin then recognized the file. I am not sure if that could be the problem , but it was in my case. So my file ended in .tar
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_rooter:
just tar and nothing else?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjh68:
Well it was named n900vvrucn4.tar.zip.md5 or similar and I deleted the extra file extensions so it was just .tar at the end.

i need to check that because the one I downloaded looks like this:

n900wrunc4.n900wrunc4.n900wrunc4.tar.zip.md5

its not that it wont flash it just wasnt reconized by odin, but the file was before. I will try that tonight when i get home.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjh68:
Well, initially before I deleted both extensions it wasn't recognized and then I just deleted the .md5 and it wouldn't flash . Finally, deleting the other extension it flashed.

Anyone else here have a Moto 360? I'm on the 9/19 CM 11 nightly and my watch frequently disconnects from my phone. The only thing I can do to pair back up is toggle Bluetooth on my phone and then the connection usually comes back. I normally don't use Bluetooth on my phone so I'm not sure if its an issue with the phone, watch, or software, but I did see a post on another forum with someone saying they had similar issues on CM.

Also having Bluetooth enabled on my phone seems to drain the battery significantly faster. I'm using the stock CM kernel, any kernels that are known to be better on battery for Bluetooth?

[General Questions and Answers] RainbowAssassin:
Hello! I have been at this for a week now.

This is my situation, I bought a fully unlocked dual sim wcdma phone (Mpie 909T) running 4.4.2 KitKat.

I want to use this phone on my straight talk plan, but I only get service from Verizon wireless where I live.

I did some searching and found that I could use a R-UIM card to pick up signal from Verizon BUT I can not find where to buy one at (unless I buy bulk for a couple hundo). So I'm at a loss. I didn't realize that I didn't get service from at&t or T-Mobile till I got the phone and went to the straight talk site and it told me to buy a sim card activation kit, (checked on AT&T site to make sure I would have service and it showed that I would)... so I went and bought the kit only to find out that they actually don't have service out here. ? so if there is no way to find a r-uim card, would there be a way to change the radio frequencies in the phone? But I would also need a MEID # to activate on straight talk CDMA (Verizon towers). Or can I get one of those sim read/writer kits on eBay and program it to work?

I have not rooted the phone yet.

PLEASE HELP!!! I love this phone!!

I've been using the phone via WiFi from my old dx2 that's currently active.
[General Questions and Answers] ShiAili:
Sadly, you cannot access a CDMA2000 network like Verizon's from a device that does not have a CDMA2000 transceiver. CDMA2000 is technologically incompatible with GSM and UMTS (sometimes called WCDMA). There are some dual mode devices, but Verizon explicitly forbids non-Verizon devices on their network. Even if you could somehow get a RUIM for Verizon, and their blessing to use it, your phone would not work unless it specifically has a CDMA transceiver in it. (remember, CDMA and WCDMA are not the same)

You need a device that supports not only the right technologies, but also the right frequencies. Most Dual-SIM phones are based exclusively on GSM and UMTS/WCDMA, and often operate on frequencies that are not comparable with US GSM operators. AT&T operates on GSM850, GSM1900, UMTS850, UMTS1900, and several bands of LTE. T-mobile operates on GSM1900, UMTS1700, UMTS1900, and several bands of LTE as well. However, most networks outside the Americas use GSM900, GSM1800, UMTS2100, and LTE800, 1800, and 2600.

You can use a site called GSMArena to check which bands your device has. If you want to use a CDMA carrier (Verizon, Sprint, and many rural operators in the US), you generally have to buy a phone with their branding or one of their partners.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(
