Hi,

How do you think it is possible to port this rom to umi hammer?

All hardware is the same, it would be great to see CM on umi
[Android General] bigrammy:
Will not work bro as Not all of the hardware is the same :(

The LCD among other sensors are totally different on the umi.

Hi,

I have buy a p6000 with lollipop 5. xx stockrom now i try to root the device but it don't works

with iroot or kingo, how to root, i can't install twrp from the sytem because the device have to be rooted? Can somebody explain how to root? Thanks!
[Android General] nemo232:
Stock rom is prerooted. You must only install supersu from playstore.
[Android General] bayad:
Install BETA-SuperSU-v2.49 by CWM Recovery and you'll get root access :)

Here is the link : https://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/

Good luck ! :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] geheimke:
Hi,

Ooh of cause the stock rom is prerooted, and if you try to install it with iroot root fails :(

Ok i reinstall the stockrom. and try to install the recovery and the superuser with recovery, thanks for helping!!

This morning I got a notification about an OTA, was on 100% battery so I went for it, snoozed for a bit, alarm went off as normal, went off to work and forgot about it, checked just now if the update went ok, but got this message?

Phone seems fine though
[Android General] :
If you want to update, it looks like you will have to do it manually, please remember that the tutorial is not the "Best" for newbies, but i think it's understandable if you read it few times.

Update link...

http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-2443-1-1.html#.VXCKa8_tmko
[Android General] Archie The Leper:
Cheers for the quick reply, is the update worth it? Seemed very small in the notification, only 16mb I think, I was half asleep
[Android General] xenonism:
Custom recovery causes that.
[Android General] Archie The Leper:
Must've been something Elephone done as i haven't touched it
[Android General] xenonism:
It would be strange for Elephone to break their own update mechanism like that, but you never know... Are you sure you never installed a custom recovery?
[Android General] Emmago:
Please how do I root this phone elephone p6000?"
[Android General] HypoTurtle:
Flash this https://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/ in custom recovery...
[Android General] Emmago:
The thing is that am using elephone p7000.. I have been trying to root it but to no avail.. So I thought if I know how to root p6000 then I can root p7000... Any idea guys on how to root?
[Android General] HypoTurtle:
SuperSU.zip should work but I think there is a problem with TWRP for the p7000, I posted one on the forum that might work but without a device in hand I can't tell what the problem is.
[Android General] Emmago:
Can you link me to the one you posted? There is no harm in trying..
[Android General] HypoTurtle:
http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=5084&pid=50340&fromuid=5795

The cwm recovery from P6000 might also work with a kernel change, I'll post one when I get the chance.
[Android General] Emmago:
Alright thanks.. I'd be expecting.. Am so grateful for your help

I will get another twrp and they the SuperSU zip that was posted here earlier to see if it works

Lollipop and OTG

The USB OTG works without any external power?
[Android General] megthebest:
No, never on P6000
[Android General] GoJo ^^:
Lots of people on vibe ROM here I guess?
[Android General] xenonism:
So the current best solution for the camera with Lollipop is Open Camera? My results are dysmal...
[Android General] GoJo ^^:
The camera is crap no matter which app you use!
[Android General] xenonism:
I know the hardware is crap, but with KitKat and the camera fix I got at least half-decent results. I'm really not expecting much but now pictures look like impressionist paintings! And it looks like a postprocessing issue to me, so there has to be something that can be done.
[Android General] GoJo ^^:
Which camera fix is that? Not working on lollipop?
[Android General] xenonism:
No, it's made of a KitKat kernel and a shared library file. In my understanding the fix is mostly about focus, but empirically pictures were better brefore I upgraded to Lollipop.

You can find the fix here (point 12).
[Android General] GoJo ^^:
Can't happen for 5.0 then...? And is there a way to fully disable led notification while device is used? Makes me crazy!
[Android General] vickdu31:
New update is coming very very soon :) There is already a Baidu link but i don't know if its really ready :P
[Android General] :
Update to 5.0 or 5.1?
[Android General] GoJo ^^:
Essential question..!
[Android General] Xv1nX:
why there is no custom rom for Elephone, no matter which model? i am thinking about buying the P8000, but without custom rom, it´s a expansive trash.

EDIT: i just saw Elephone company doesn't publish kernel source code. That's why there is no custom kernel neither custom rom.

[Android General] bruno2209:
Hallo, my P6000 just stopped working without any reason. Just died. No charging ......nothing.

Is there someone experiencing this problem?
[Android General] vikmaffia:
Hi All. I have a Polar M400 runner watch that is able to sync with the phone app via Bluetooth.

Except that it can't connect to the app in any other ROM but with the buggy CyanoGen 12.1.

Do you guys know if it's easy to port all Bluetooth related code from CM12.1 to a different, hopefully bug-free ROM (e.g. stock 5.0 is fine with me)? I don't know the differences, but... do I need to recompile everything or is there a shorter solution?
[Android General] vuckovic_stefan:
what about battery life on 4g? i have p6000pro and battery goes down crazy fast when 4g is enabled... but on 3g its quite allright...
[Android General] GoJo ^^:
Didn't notice such difference..?
[Android General] vuckovic_stefan:
What phone are you using, i ask cuz i see Sent from my S3 :). I read a lot of phones doesnt have that problems, some people write that they have better battery life with 4G. I have strong signal for both 3G and 4G so that is not problem... I see fast battery drop while using phone and on idle.

Maybe it something with my carrier, i dont know...

Thanks for reply!

Hi

I have tested Doogee X5 MAX on MT6580. It turns out that it has a compass.

Blubooo Maya and others are also on MT6580 but compass is unavailable.

[Android General] HypoTurtle:
You've built from source? Or at least built new kernels & ported system...

I've been away from p6000 for a while, had to give mine to my brother to replace his - but could use your eye on another device to see if building a kernel seems doable on current resources [mt6750t device - so looking at the oukitel_k6000_plus kernel sources from the madOS team]
[Android General] bigrammy:
Try this.

1. Fully charge your good battery.

2. Join the elephone battery and the good battery with some wire + to + and - to -

If the Elephone battery is not totally broken the power from the good battery should balance transfer to the elephone battery giving you 50% power in each.

Just connect them then wait an hour and measure the voltages. :fingers-crossed:

If it works you should then be able to charge it as normal.

I have managed to make a ROM_0 dump using spflashtool :D

Now I just need to figure out how to get MTKDroid tools to correctly process the dump :eek:
[Android General] sawok:
idea for backup ROM

so i found out

SD-Card into Phone 8GB or larger

on Start powerbutton und VOL.- 2 point Menu come

download adb tools like on this side link --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2225405

extract this like c:\adb

on pc -> open "smd" , like msdos window

go to c:\adb

then make these one after one

adb shell mkdir -p /mnt/sdcard2/SPFT

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/mnt/sdcard2/SPFT/preloader.bin bs=512c count=512 skip=4"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/boot of=/mnt/sdcard2/SPFT/boot.img"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/cache of=/mnt/sdcard2/SPFT/cache.img"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/lk of=/mnt/sdcard2/SPFT/lk.bin"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/userdata of=/mnt/sdcard2/SPFT/userdata.img"

now you have all things this on your sdcard

[Android General] bigrammy:
Read the post above yours :rolleyes:

I already made a scatter from scratch and I have made a full rom dump WITH SPFlashTool so it's working :D

I need to refine scatter some more so that mtkdroids tools can correctly process the rom dump it's not as easy as you think. :laugh:

I have worked solid for 12 or more hours to get this far. :eek:

I will share when everything works as it should so you will be able to fix your brick :laugh:

BTW How did you manage to brick it so quickly :confused: It has to be a record :laugh:
[Android General] sawok:
yeahhhh.

Hi i use the encryption from the seciurity setting in original firmware,

is must be a software bug,

i start it , on 100 % in starts new from himself and now it hangs on "android" on the screen.

i know that 2 other P6000 bricks on the same way, and wait also for a solution.

Elephone so long has not answer , i ask for a solution and stock rom for flash from sdcard.

the adb, and recovery menu are ok, i can see in adb shell all data system and files on the phone, but it will not start at the moment.

i set my hope on you :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the review ColonelZap. Are you able to test the internal storage speed (several times with as big of a dataset as possible)? I think IO stats are just as important as the antutu score! Thanks

Is there a recommended online seller for these? Ideally, I'd prefer a local EU seller but I know that may not happen. What about cases and additional batteries?

Thanks for the heads up. Won't try to encrypt!

ETOTALK HERE

Not in Europe but only takes about 3 > 4 days to get it with the free shipping via DHL :D

Select their Mod ROM and plain packaging all the junk is removed no chinese apps and the encryption apk gone too. :good:

Root/SU is via the custom partition so I assume protected. ;)

Just tell them to declare it $20 usd value and gift or warranty return. ;)

Mine was checked by DHL but I think with the plain packaging they classed it as used or secondhand not retail. So it got through without any duties :good:
[Android General] vikmaffia:
I ordered through efox-shop, currently for 120 EUR, but they won't deliver until Feb 10. DHL shipping was 13 EUR I think. They have an EU storage facility, but now I can't see the P6000 in the EU offer.

However, my battery came dead and they promised to send me another one...

I've found the matching original battery only on one site for $10 (can't recall which), alibaba sells non-originals for like $15.

During calls the other party complains that they can't hear me - I've tested it, it's indeed very low.

I've tried to boost the mic sensitivity through Engineering Mode / HW test / Audio / Normal / Mic: tried setting all to 255, and also many different levels posted in other forums, but it doesn't have any effect (yes, I rebooted after each change).

I've also tried it with a bluetooth headset, but it's quite the same (or perhaps a bit better but only if I directly speak to the BT mic).

Do you guys experience the same issue?

Given how many issues you seem to be having, I might wait for EU stocks as it seems that there will be a good chance I will need to deal with problems. How is this the only phone with a 5" or smaller display, 64-bit cores, 1.5GB+ RAM with both removable battery AND uSD slot!

Could someone whose built-in microphone is loud enough check the Audio settings for me please?

Mic volume through a wired headset is good, so I replicated those settings to Normal mode, but it didn't help...

I'd like to know the values under Engineering Mode / HW test / Audio / Normal / Mic

As well as Engineering Mode / HW test / Audio / Speech Enhancement / Common Parameter and Normal mode.

If someone could reply or send me a PM with the values I'd be grateful.

Figured I'd pick my way through the dump uploaded to needrom.com by [MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION] while waiting for my P6000 to arrive.

Currently looking through the ramdisk (boot.img); and noticed a few things:

It seems 512MB of zRam is being used. Could someone confirm by posting the outcome of free.

Also can someone confirm the size/contents of /system/mobile_toolkit/iAmCdRom.iso is it just drivers/manual? Seems a neat feature if it works - connect phone to PC and mount as CD.

And can any one get: /data/sec/sbchk_last.log just not sure what it is.

Also it seems to be missing a init.protect.rc and a init.xlog.rc (and init.volte.rc but can't find a copy of this for a different SoC, it might be init.charging.rc); but that could be intentional.

Edit. iAmCdRom.iso is just a micousb spec sheet

Have you had any luck with replacing the phone? Who did you buy it from and are they helpful?

Could you let us know where did you buy yours from?

efox-shop have come back to me saying that they won't be stocking the P6000 in EU or the case and battery. Their price has also increased despite their ads and recent facebook post
[Android General] vikmaffia:
I don't want to replace the phone as it's working fine, except for the mic volume (which may be sw related) and the battery. I bought it from efox-shop, they promised to send me a new battery about 6 days ago. I replied with my address just in case, but no updates since.
[Android General] greekfragma:
My P6000 has just arrived! :D

I will post my first impressions tomorrow after I can mess with it a bit.

Only thing to mention here is that was bought from Gearbest.com and arrived after 2 weeks with standard mail option.
[Android General] semo.pz:
I think you should at least register this problem with your supplier as soon as possible even if it does turn out to be software related. If you log the issue too late, you may not qualify for support. I think it is a fault as the microphone is such an important part of a phone. It should work correctly out of the box.

Congrats! Can you test the GPS while driving/walking on Google maps/navigation. Also can you help out vikmaffia with his question and also check that you don't have the same issue. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58365006&postcount=51

Finally, could you run a storage test and post the first 4 results

s7yler has kindly run this test on his youtube review comments section but I'd like to check if the results are consistent.

[MENTION=6034405]semo.pz[/MENTION] [MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION]

Ok I had some extra time to do the things asked.

Mic level is crystal clear and loud enough. My friend told me that If I spoke a little louder....... (my voice is not that loud at all and on phonecalls I prefer to speak calm and easy)......he would have to volume down his speaker a bit because it was more than good.

So On normal mode my engineering mode values are

0-255 @ 64

0-160 @ 148

Engineering Mode / HW test / Audio / Speech Enhancement / Common Parameter

0-65535 @ 0

and Normal mode

0-65535 @ 96

So lets move to the test of read-writes of internal memory bandwidth and you can check the attached photo.

The phone has orientation and magnetic sensors not working but available. Maybe its a software issue and they work on Lollipop 5.0 , I realy can't answer that.

Feel free to ask me of anything else if you want.

Excellent. This phone should fly when Android 5 rolls out (fingers crossed it will be stable). ARMv8 instruction set plus fast storage is very good combo indeed. It's good to know that they haven't given the review samples quicker storage too :)

[MENTION=622119]greekfragma[/MENTION] Can you test the GPS when out and about? While you're there, maybe call your friend again and see how the mic copes with noisy environments. Do you have any bluetooth devices to test with?

When you say orientation doesn't work, does that mean that it doesn't change to landscape when you rotate the phone?

We know that the magnetic/compass doesn't work. Not a software problem unfortunately
