Does the fact that the telephone has now one big partition (of almost 6GB) has anything to do with the existence of only one ebr file or is it irrelevant?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ghost45:
No.. The big partition isn't connected with the to have or not one o two ebr files.

The original rom have two ebr files and the new firmware have only one ebr.. This new rom transform all the memory usable in one partition of about 5gb

in the original instructions

"4) install Busybox from android S.O"

what does S.O mean ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ghost45:
S. O. =means =system operative
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pjg_pigeon:
Thanks that's what I guessed. But so far "root" is not an option for me, I just cant get it to work, I'm no expert but I have rooted a number of devices previously and I can normally follow the instructions posted.

I just tried again.

1. Unzipped 545d949a2321f.rar

2. copied new recovery image to 545d949a2321f folder

3. Run "Flashtool" point the scatter at "545d949a2321f"

4. Set it to upgrade firmware

5. Click download

6. Attach phone to PC

7. Watch & wait for the processes to complete.

8. Reboot phone into new recovery,

9. Flash the Su216.ZIP

10. reboot (select protect "recovery" and the other option) into O.S.

11. download/install "busybox" from play store

12. run "Busybox" - !!!! It complains about superSU not being installed correctly

Can you see anyone see any mistakes in my understanding.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyros_V_S:

Problem with a speaker

Hello, got a new s168, everything seems to be fine except that speaker isn't working, though when I plug in headphones I can hear them clearly. Any idea if the could be fixed somehow or should I ask for an exchange? I tried simple hard reset but that didn't do anything.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyros_V_S:
Does the phone ring normally? If yes, then the speaker is OK and maybe there is a problem with the music player you use, otherwise I think you should exchange your phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Braven0:
Well, no so sounds go off, not even a ringtone. Also it occasionally freezes while doing a simple task and reboots after a while. I guess this is a faulty model then, right? Kind of a bummer. Have yours ever frozen?

edit - I also read that another person had a same problem with speakers, but he got it working after a hard reset
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyros_V_S:

There is a new update available in the cubot.net support site, but it seems impossible to download properly

New ROM downloaded from needrom and installed properly using flashtools. Battery indicator works OK now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hellfira:
Can someone tell how to update a rom? I try to update it based on the description on needrom or here, but when I attach the phone first the "connected" sound comes on my computer and 5-6 seconds later the "disconnected" sound and battery icon is displayed on the phone. Then again connected and disconnected and this can loop till eternity...is there any drivers what i was supposed to install?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeOSL:
Do exactly the same steps as you previously did until you reach the loop. On the loop press and hold power on/off button. It will start the procedure of flashing.

Happy new year!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hellfira:
It seems to be not working:( If i push and hold the power button it does the same loop again but faster and "CUBOT" is displayed instead of the battery.

Can someone make a video or make a better, more accurate description about the method of updating?

This is not the 1st or 2nd Android phone what I would like to update, but I was never this stuck......
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeOSL:
Then... Try the update using Windows 7 system, or even Windows XP. i had problem with drivers installation on Windows 8. Switched to an old Windows XP laptop, successfully installed drivers but had the loop problem as you mentioned, finally solved by pressing the power on button.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hellfira:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyros_V_S:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hellfira:
If dont know if you ask this seriously, but yes, I did try :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyros_V_S:
Does the volume button works well for other functions? If yes, then you can try via MTK tools, otherwise i would imagine there is something wrong with the hardware (speaker).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] au9879:
For all those with win 8/8.1 who have problems installing latest rom on cubot s168 . First you have to install MTK USB VCOM Driver (W8) - can be found here: .... (search in google: [TUT] Instructions MTK6577 USB VCOM Driver Installation ) , but before you do that you have to disable signature verification, which is nicely described here:...

I use only wifi internet access

I have upgrade the Fw to 20141227 official (my device is not root)

Any idea?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NeOSL:
1. Update once again to the latest firmware.

2. Full factory system restore .

3. Remove any sim cards and micro sd . check for at least 24hours if the problems insist . if they do, you have to get in touch with the seller .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maxoft:
Thnku i will do asap and give u feedback
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyros_V_S:
Maybe the mod could update posts #4 & #5 of the thread because we are now in the December version (20141227) of the fw in which the storage space issue is resolved, also the vroot method is not advised as it is considered unsafe and also the recovery file does not work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] resuah:
Backup in Recovery

Hi guys. I wanted to do full backup in recovery before updating ROM. It stucks somewhere near 50% and I could wait forever. Does that happen to someone?

Also, why all of you install new ROM via Flashtools and not via Recovery as is recommended in an official Cubot page?

Thanx.

I was able to update it with flashtool5 and the right drivers.

- Install the signed drivers for windows 8

- Decompress the update

- Start Flashtool5

- Select the scatter-loading file

- Choose the Option "Firmware Upgrade"(The "Download Only" option unsurprisingly doesn't work and gives an error. The update has to edit the partitions)

- Turn off the phone, plug the USB cable in

- Push the power button on the phone

- tada!

Volume and 2 point touch issues

This thread is probably dead but if by any chance ...

I have two issues with my phone except I have the latest update V9_CQ_4151C_S168_V04_20141227 installed. I did it the official way, no root. The 2 point touch behaves very strangely sometimes and the volume "boost" above certain level is obnoxious.

The volume is behaving crazy. The thing is some sounds changes in the middle (like normalization or …) so for example when starting app like Clash of clans, the intro tune changes in the middle from normal level to boosted distorted and loud. It seems like there is some kind of "enhance/boost" gimmick that does it and it cannot be turned off. Also some sounds are simply too loud and some are quiet and if you go above 50% in any volume slider it goes mad and feels like it is 500%.

The 2 point touch is damaged. If analysing (in Antutu for instance) it ends up totally inaccurate. When moving with two fingers it does some strange stuff.

Anyone experiencing something like this? Anyone has got a solution? It definitely seems like a fw/sw problem to me ...

Thanx.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyros_V_S:
Regarding the volume issues, I would recommend to download and install xposed framework and the module "volume steps" that adds more steps to the volume control and makes it a bit smoother.

For the screen issue, unfortunately i can't assist, but maybe a test with an app like screen touch test or multi touch test would show if there is something wrong.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] resuah:
Thanx. Unfortunately Xposed is just for rooted devices. I did not dare to root my Cubot because none of the methods described in this thread seems to be reliable and safe. I even think that you personally had some issues with it AFAIK. Did you found a working solution and safe way to root s168? If so, please share your knowledge.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spyros_V_S:
You flash the cwm recovery with flash tools and then when you enter cwm recovery you can flash the supersu for root privileges.

If you want to flash another rom, you should do it by using the flash tools.

This might be a stupid question, but where do I get the USB driver for Windows for Cubot S168? The phone didn't come with any disk, and the official page periodically times out. The only USB drivers I have found were from shady warez file hosting services. Surely, there must be official USB drivers for Windows? could someone post a link?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chinaphonearena:
You may not need to install any drivers at all. Give what you're trying to do a go and see. If it doesn't engage, then:

For USB debugging drivers (stuff which you do while the phone is on), I've always used PDANet, though again, often it's not necessary to install them at all.

[youtube]iNyifEQBh3E[/youtube]

Drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/download/jfasurxgcnju83m/PDANET_4170.zip

For flashing the phone with SP Flash Tool or doing a readback (stuff which you do while the phone is off), again you may not need to install drivers at all. Give it a try. If it fails, then:

For Windows XP, Windows 7 auto-drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/download/8zy9ax3sdbgrtgi/NEW_Driver_Auto_Installer_EXE_v1.1236.00.zip

OTG Snake Camera

Hi Mr. Experts!

I have a Cubot S168. A normal 1st gen. I recently bought an Android USB Snake Camera because it would be great tool for my work.

All Cubot specification stated that the phone is supporting OTG.

I tested the new snake camera but the S168 did not recognise it at all. So I downloaded an OTG tester from Play Store.

When I tested the OTG it says the phone does not support OTG.

Somewhere I read that the hardware can handle OTG and it works only if the phone rooted.

Any body can suggest is there any chance to it could work with my phone somehow?

Otherwise it was a waste of money, because it works only on laptop as webcam.

Thanks for your help in advance for this specific question.

I sought the RUU for HTC European M8 but was not released.

Many RUU have not been released. [MENTION=494185]LlabTooFeR[/MENTION] told me that he doubts that will come out.

I think that if we join in protest against HTC maybe something could change.

What do you think?

I HAVE SENT AN E-MAIL TO HTC, WHERE TO ASK QUESTIONS for RUU release.

If you agree you also send an email to HTC EMAIL CONTACT

Not going to work, seen so many of these type of threads before. Save your valuable time and use it for something useful like your family for instance (assuming you have one)

[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:

Nand backups

[One (M8) General] jshamlet:
If you are S-off, they are a great way to quickly (so to speak) reset everything to stock. Yes, you can do all that manually, but sometimes you just want to hit the big red button and make it all go away. That is where an RUU comes in handy. :)
[One (M8) General] kalel77:
Yes, I don't have problems to return completely stock without RUU, I write a guide for this in my Italian forum also....but a RUU can be useful for particular reason or some inexperienced people(or for who can't be S-OFF)

I paid €500,00 for m8, why HTC can't released RUU to me?

Send with my HTC One M8 2014 from TTA
[One (M8) General] Behold_this:
It matters not how much you paid for your device. The fact of the matter is when you buy a device you're buying it "as is". If you leave your device "as is" you have little need for an RUU (note I said little need, not no need), as you are free to update officially. It's not HTC's responsibility to provide you a way to return to stock when/if you choose on your own free will to modify your device. You know what you're doing when you do it and you know the consequences of doing it, again not HTC's problem. The fact is you do not require an RUU to have a fully operating, functioning device just the way the manufacturer intended. So what you really want is an extra service, an extra benefit that was never guaranteed or implied by the manufacturer.

It's okay to want this. It's even okay to request it, but what comes off entitled and kind of naive is when you demand that they give you their proprietary update utility that you didn't really pay for. They never told you you were going to get one. Never implied you were going to get one. Yet you demand that they hand one over. That's not a very good attitude to have and it's not the kind of feedback that companies like HTC typically respond to.

This doesn't mean I don't believe that they should provide them. The fact is I do believe they should, but they are not REQUIRED to by any means. As a matter of fact, HTC does provide RUUs at carrier request. They typically do not provide RUUs for is the generic WWE/international software and firmware. For example here in the United States, HTC US has posted official RUUs for AT&T, T Mobile, and Sprint with only one major carrier, Verizon, being left out. Verizon is left out because they request HTC not post RUUs for their software as it contains, again, proprietary software (eg the NFL Mobile app which they pay a hefty sum for every year and other cross licensing/marketing partners, and software). Incidentally, proprietary software protection is also the reason why Verizon does not allow official bootloader unlock. Most of what HTC does are determined by their software and carrier partners not any sinister plot to keep you away from updates.
[One (M8) General] Sneakyghost:
I have inquired with HTC already a while ago and they told me they'd forward it to their dev department for investigating if it was possible to hand out an official RUU. The fact that they never got back to me means it's a "no" for GSM international. Else we would have a download already now.

They won't change their mind for a handful of XDA users, as I was able to experience myself way back during the OneS time. I had 800+ people backing my case and that is about nothing in their eyes.

In fact, I was told to my face by some HTC manager people that they won't do very much for XDA users except what they offer with htcdev.com - which they consider a lot already. Oh and tolerating but not welcoming unofficial leaks of shipped material.

Never will they tolerate beta material. People leaking such risk a lot of trouble with them.
