Hello friends I will like to gather some opinions on new iOcean M6752 "ROCK" 4G phone.

I'm looking to by something like this new phone from iOcean which have impressed me by its specifications. Some time ago (2.5 years ago) I was thinking what to buy and unfortunately I have decided not to buy iOcean X7. That was mistake since aging X7 have been updated to KitKat while the one I have chosen stayed on 4.2.1. I can say only say well done iOcean on your customer care, and my next phone will be definitely from your company.

If I look into iOcean M6752 Rock specifications, I'm unable to find any downsides (at least obvious). For me 5,5" is a bit too big screen, but lately all serious phones (higher level) are in that size. This phone have following specifications:

- New 64bit MediaTek processor 6752 clocked at 1.7 GHz (Cortex A53)

- 3 GB DDR3 RAM (:good::good::good:)

- 16 GB internal memory + microSD expansion slot (64 GB)

- 5.5" FHD 1920x1080 IPS OGS display with narrow bezel

- Mali 760 MP2 graphics

- All possible network frequencies 4G/3G/2G

- Decent camera, 14 MPx back and 5 MPx front

- Magnesium middle plate and frame

- 3 GPS modes should make it faster

- 2300 mAh battery

- etc ......

If we look all of this specifications, only real competitor is ZOPO ZP920 but with difference of minimum 80$.

I have managed to find some photos and Antutu Benchmark video at iOcean FB page

The more I look into this phone, more I like it. Very simple design, not too thin (8,6 mm), white front with exchangeable multicolor back cover, etc. Software looks promising, Android 4.4.4 with promised upgrade to 5.0.1 soon. Framework reminds me of Jiayu but with transparent menu, again something like ZOPO did with they mobiles.

This mobile bought me with its simplicity and sophistication, and yet good price for 3GB RAM and Octa Core processor (Cortex A53).

If (when) I get this mobile, I will probably make some software alterations like I did in the past with other mobiles.

Please share your thoughts and info on this wonderful device. I believe it will be one of the best phones in this year.

Hey guys, have been following this phone for some time now. Pre-sale starts at January 26th, first 300 units for just $199, then 100 for $210 and then 100 for $220. After that normal retail price will be $230 which isn't that bad considering the specs. More info here. iOcean M6752 Rock pre-sale

I think I'm going to buy one! If I get it I will write a nice review about it!
[Android General] miljenko:
Yeah, I think it is great deal for this money.
[Android General] Hindo2:
pre-order online store

Just checked their official site and seems like we could pre-order with the cheapest $199.9 for the first round at Antelife, Coolicool and Efox. This is their site http://iocean.cc/
[Android General] mesang:
I would reccomend reading the post for the UMi Zero first before ordering from Antelife, seems there have been quite some unsatisfied customers in that topic. See this thread

Not familiar with the other two companies but I think I'll be going with one of them!
[Android General] miljenko:
Each China seller have good and bad sides, it is question if you are lucky or not. I don't have some good proposal for online store, but usually who have phone on preorder it official store for a producer.
[Android General] Krystyna:
I think Meizu MI Note better than iOcean m6752 ROCK.
[Android General] mesang:
I think not :p
[Android General] mesang:
I ordered one, anyone else as curious as me and couldn't resist ordering one of these? :)
[Android General] miljenko:
Maybe, but price is double. I don't think it is so much better
[Android General] miljenko:
From where you have ordered.
[Android General] mesang:
I got mine trough coolicool. Was one of the first 300 so for just $199 :)
[Android General] miljenko:
I might buy one also during presale. I just hope we will not wait for long to get them into hands.
[Android General] Zoealandy:
Just got mine from Coolicool.com and lucky to be top 300 with $199.99, and only 3 remaining, right now.
[Android General] mesang:
Lol that's what it said after I ordered mine :laugh:
[Android General] miljenko:
Any news, do they started dispatching mobiles?
[Android General] Hindo2:
It's the second round of the pre-sale now. Guess they would dispatch when the last round finish.

Just find out a video from YT. Quite clear to take a look at the phone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00YOmiY3BOE
[Android General] Calugarar:
I signed up for the preorder on the 26th or 27th of January on efox. On the site it said that shipping will start from 25th February and that it'll be shipped in the order that they were bought.. Efox has a bad backend , kind of buggy. Pre-ordering was a tad difficult due to those bugs, I just hope that shipping won't be as troublesome as the whole ordering process. I'm curious to see if the modding community will have a go at it ;) .
[Android General] miljenko:
I will for sure make some software modding as soon as I lay my hands on it. First of all to make a recovery, after that all things will go smooth.
[Android General] Calugarar:
Welp as soon as I get my unit you can count me in for testing and other things :good:
[Android General] miljenko:
Some kind of memory problem. Try to remove SD card and try again.
[Android General] tstodart:
Sorry, still getting the same problem. Let me know if you have any other ideas. I might try to get the logfile when I have time.
[Android General] miljenko:
Try to flash recovery one more time. It is for sure something about memory, even partition layout. How you have flashed Lollipop?
[Android General] tstodart:
I used SP Flash Tool with "firmware upgrade" to flash Lollipop (all sections) and then used SP Flash Tool with "Download Only" and the same scatter file to Flash just the recovery section with TWRP. Then tried to use TWRP to Flash SuperSU, where TWRP crashes. I guess I need to download everything again and start from scratch...:confused:
[Android General] tstodart:
Solved! Corrupted SuperSU zip file. Thanks for your suggestions
[Android General] miljenko:
Good, glad that you have solved your problem.
[Android General] stapo101:
Hi [MENTION=1748915]miljenko[/MENTION]

I seem to have a problem with restoring backups using your version of TWRP.

It seems great and making the backup and is also great for flashing files but the 2 times I have had to use it to restore a backup it says it's successful but when I try and boot up it fails and ends up booting into TWRP.

Any ideas?
[Android General] Petros_tigra:
Does anyone successfully install xposed framework on 5.1 update?

Also does anyone try bluetooth headset?Mic does not work..
[Android General] tstodart:
No success for me with xposed install. Never got out of bootloops but it seems not far enough along to generate any logs.
[Android General] Dev Null:
Hi Guys!

Thinking about buying this phone, it's very cheap now at Geekbuying (via IOcean FB promotion).

But is it for China, or for Europe/Global? What's the difference between Mt6752 and Mt6753? I know that 6753 also works on CDMA - but what does it exactly mean?

I would like to use it is Hungary.
[Android General] Calugarar:
Are you sure that the backup files aren't corrupted? Try checking / generating MD5 checksums and see then, go through a cache / davlink cache wipe

You're not the only one bud, submit a bug report to service@iocean.cc and on their official facebook page / fan support page

3G should definitely work you should check here if your carrier (Vodafone, Telenor, etc) at a first glance it looks like it should. Though be warned that there have been many problems with quality control starting from poor usb cables to phone not turning on. Some people are happy with it, others aren't. Lollipop 5.1 is out for this model and even if it is stable it does have a couple of bugs. Research a bit on it and decide for yourself. :)
[Android General] tstodart:
I had exactly the same problem. I am now reluctant to experiment with Viper4andoid/Xposed since I can't seem to restore...
[Android General] miljenko:
I will compile new version is evening and share it with you. Sorry for inconvenience, but it is working for me.
[Android General] Lostgeek:
Anyone got a flickering screen after flashing from kitkat pre-installed to the latest available lollipop 5.1 rom? Mainly visible on the outsides of the screen and when a dark overlay is going over a bright (white) background.

I already contacted iocean about this and they are working on it, but in the meantime I am searching for a solution. It think it has something to do with the auto brightness (although playing around with the settings doesn't help). The strange part is, when I downgrade I still got the problem. I also tried a custom kitkat rom from iocean to solve this, but doesn't solve it for 100%.

Any suggestions?
[Android General] tindrli:
Apart from all issues that you people are living can anyone confirm how is the battery? coz 5.5 " on 2300 mah is like???

can it survive 8 hours?
[Android General] Calugarar:
That's strange, do a complete wipe and install KitKat fresh. Are you sure that the light sensor isn't busted? The OTA should be out in a couple of days, that's what iOcean is claiming.

Well depends on what you are doing and what you have installed. If you have very few data mining apps like Facebook or anything from Google it can last you even 24 hours with battery to spare if you use it lightly.

But if you do end up buying it, get the larger battery with it as well. Just don't buy the flip cover. It's a POS. It doesn't fit with the larger battery on, and when it does fit, the magnet is so small that if the flap slides side to side, it'll wake up the screen. So if you have it in your pocket and you're walking, it'll keep waking up the screen draining the battery and making the phone overheat.

I think geekbuying.com is selling it now at around 120 $ with a larger battery pack. Not sure on the price tho you should check it out.
[Android General] Lostgeek:
Already done a downgrade with flashing and wiping cache in recoverymode. I am pretty sure it's not a hardware issue, besides a couple of other people having the same problem it, I got this problem after flashing to 5.1 while the device was only 1 hour in my possession and was 100% working before the flash. I've contacted iOcean about this and they me that some other people have claimed the same issue, although it's only a small part. I hope the OTA will fix it. But if it's a software issue with the automatic brightness, is there possibility to play with the parameters (for example the engineering mode).

I also found a video about someone with the same problem. It will explain it better I think.

[YOUTUBE]zR3Ype0mHnk[/YOUTUBE]
[Android General] miljenko:
I don't know what can be done without lk.bin update. Obviously there is two type of lcd back light controler, and driver from the last firmware is not proper one, or routine update controller firmware and you have this flickering. Since you are not the only one (on iOcean facebook page somebody have complained), I believe this will be fixed with the next update.

Anyone try Firmware 184962 150713 ?

I found it at htt p://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2015/07/13/iocean-rock-m6752-android-5-1-3gb-16gb-smartphone-firmware-184962-15071
[Android General] Lostgeek:
The timestamp of the files are from 18-6-2015, so I doubt it's a new version...
[Android General] stratos2004:
I just had to do with on a MT6592 but used the Engineer mode: *#*#3646633#*#*

Go to CD Info, then Radio Info menus. At the top is a AT+ prompt enter:

AT +EGMR=1,7,”##########…” where ###… is your IMEI #1

and

AT +EGMR=1,10,”######….” where ##… is IMEI #2 (for dual SIM phones).

Note there is a space after the AT. The phone did not have it (“AT+” was already there with no space) but would not take the command without it.

After each command press the “Send AT Command” button and it should say “… Sent” when you do. Then reboot the phone and do a *#06# and check them.

This doesn’t need any other software, cable etc.

How to update Iocean rock m6752

How do I update Iocean rock from Android 4.4 to 5.1 lollipop. I onky received my phone and I don't have a clue how to do it!!:(
[Android General] miljenko:
Use SP FlashTool V5 (I think included with the update). There are one milion youtube tutorials just make a search
[Android General] Lostgeek:
The manual and latest rom can be found on the service page on the official iocean cc website.
[Android General] calvingr33n3:

I have the exact same problem , did you find any solutions yet ? I am going crazy
[Android General] mario.barc:
Still no solution?
[Android General] luchtgitaar:
Just received mine. Is it possible to arrange 5 app icons on the bottom like in this (rendered?) picture? I am on 4.4.4..

[Android General] Lostgeek:
Unfortunately no, the new announced update is also still not available due to the GPS fix they are investigating together with Mediatek. Hopefully they investigate this issue too for this update...
[Android General] mario.barc:
I turned off the phone on 8 hours and stopped flickers, but after a few minutes the display flickers still.
[Android General] cryptonent:
There is 0519 version for 4.4.4. Update time is 23.07.2015. htt p://iocean.cc/Service.html
[Android General] luchtgitaar:
Batterylife with the 2300 mha battery is a little bit too less for me.

Does anyone have the 3000 mah? Much difference?
[Android General] cryptonent:
I am planning to buy Xiaomi Pocket 10000mAh Mobile Power Bank for 12.56 $ . Its not much heavy, 207 g.
[Android General] Lostgeek:
Mine is on its way since two days (landgenoot ;) )
[Android General] Mr.Castle2099:
Flickering!!!

I also have the same problem with the screen flickering.

I updated first to the newest Kitkat Rom and it startedt, then to Lillipop where it is much worse.

Now I am downgrading to 0314. I hope for the best.

I will start a facebook thread in the community there.

Update: It is still flickering. Even in the recovery.
[Android General] mario.barc:
II wrote to Iocean. They have made available on its website an older version. Its WORK.
[Android General] hunter_111:
If someone comes with the phone firmware 20150519 do not try to sew on a lollipop !!! there is flicker, but so strong that it is impossible to use. Rolling back to 4.4.4 does not help. And even if you put the March version 4.4.4! Yesterday promuchalas 5 hours on it. Fortunately there was a second phone and using en1gma (where people have the firmware files are located sections) pulled handles Forums-inserted into the firmware for fleshtul 20,150,314, respectively, added to the file extension in the firmware, flash and flicker disappeared almost completely. Phone after spending the night, stopped blinking at all. result has been achieved, but I do not recommend such experiments. if someone steps on a rake as I spread for some time 20150519-210550 sew flashtool "firmware upgrade" to turn off the phone and with the inserted battery.

p.s. I replaced my partition in the firmware (boot.img lk.bin system.img)

[Android General] allouh:
I plan to buy this mobile since Geekbuying is selling it for $140 now!

does this flicker issue occur by it self or just from update?

If i kept the original Kitkat os would this problem appear?

Is there anything else i should be worry about?
[Android General] Mr.Castle2099:
Do you mean the 0519 one?
[Android General] Lostgeek:
Only after the update. I received it a couple of weeks ago and no problem with pre-installed kitkat. Besides the flickering it's a great phone imho
[Android General] allouh:
What do you mean by 0519?
[Android General] Lostgeek:
Thanks! From your story I understand that this ROM seems to fix the problem? If so I will send it to iOcean too for there reference.
[Android General] Lostgeek:
OMG [MENTION=6843468]hunter_111[/MENTION] the flickering is almost gone. It's still there, but not that annoying. Can you PM me what you did to solve this? I think iOcean and the community would love to have a solution :)
[Android General] luchtgitaar:
So any confirmation which phones are having the flickering issue after lollipop update? I've just received mine and little afraid to update. I've got build number 20150519-210550 out of the box.
[Android General] Lostgeek:
To avoid flickering just stay at kitkat and follow the Facebook ioceancommunity for replies on one of the topics if lollipop is fixed ;)
[Android General] Stalker_OMS:
IF you got 20150519 in the box! - your case..
[Android General] hunter_111:
after restoring firmware 20150519 flicking little bid,after 1 day finish flicking.;)
[Android General] impulsive buyer:
flicker and another prob

after a few contacts with iocean they have added a 519 version which is the stock rom you get when you buy the phone this is original and at bottom of the m6752 list and this sorts all the screen out.

I now cannot make calls or send texts so I am looking for solutions at the moment but at least ive not got a head ache
[Android General] hunter_111:
it is still the only option to restore the phone screen does not flicker. I have all happened only once after flashing the screen flickers a little, but after 5-8 hours flicker disappears completely!
[Android General] miljenko:
You have probably lost your IMEI. You can try to restore it by MTK droid tool or using tutorial from iocean service page. Generally any MTK IMEI FIX will work on this phone.
[Android General] celka:
Hello!

I bought one, it works in Hungary :)

I bought from geekbuying, got a 20150512 version, I didn't see any flickering.

[Android General] StardustOne:
The version available at iOcean is still from March 2015, so nothing new under the sun from the official website.
[Android General] Ricochet90:
Anyone knows if they are ever going to release a final 5.1 version?

And the phone still overheats?
[Android General] luchtgitaar:
My gut feeling is they are not releasing a final. They probably used different hardware (at least the digitizer) on new batches. Their team is a month on vacation right now.

I really hope I am wrong though. Not having Lollipop is the only downside of the phone for me right now.
[Android General] Lostgeek:
Correction luchtgitaar, only Carla (Facebook support) is on holiday. I think the development will go on.
[Android General] Ricochet90:
Your phone does not overheat?

I bought one for $140 I hope it works well,will arrive in 2 weeks.
[Android General] luchtgitaar:
It's getting a little bit hot by heavy gaming. But not extreme.
[Android General] Ricochet90:
Your screen is in good condition and the touch works well?

Sorry for all the questions,but I've heard that these phones have overheating problems that cause the screen to fail.
[Android General] luchtgitaar:
I didn't upgrade to lollipop which is causing the screen problems.

Flickering screen and other problems after upgrade to 5.1

Hoi, ik heb een iOcean M6752 (Rock) gekocht bij iOcean.hk Kort na de aanschaf werd me door iOcean.cc Android 5.1 aangeboden en hoe ik moest upgraden. Dat ging erg moeizaam met een flashtool en de rom. Na de upgrade naar 5.1 heb ik een flikkerend scherm en andere functies zijn uitgevallen. Ik wil de iOcean terugzetten naar 4.4.4 maar ik krijg het niet voor elkaar. Elke keer wanneer ik de flashtool open en de scatter.txt file invul (dat zou eigenlijk automatisch moeten gaan) blijven de rijen onder "location" leeg. Er gebeurt vervolgens helemaal niets. Ik vrees dat ik iets vergeet, maar ik weet niet wat. Kan iemand mij stap voor stap uitleggen hoe ik 4.4.4. op de telefoon krijg, want ik word het een beetje zat. Graag een duidelijke uitleg wat ik moet downloaden en wat ik stap voor stap moet doen. Ik heb een laptop die draait op windows 7.

Hello, i have bought an iOcean M6752 (Rock) at iOcean.hk A few days after i bought it iOcean.cc send me a mail and offered me to install 5.1 and how to do it. It was very hard to get it done with a flashtool and the rom. After the upgrade to 5.1 the screen was flickering and some other functions did not work well. Now i want to downgrade my phone to 4.4.4., but i am not able to do so. Everytime i use the flashtool and put in the scatter.txt file nothing happens. The "location" stays empty. I am afraid i forget something, but i do not know what. Can anybody help me out? Can anybody explain what i must do? Step by step please and what do i have to download? I use windows 7.

Bij voorbaat dank,

Thanks in advance,

Alex

read some post before that it should stop after few hours...do i get it right?

Or after downgrade to 4.4 + waiting few hours it stops?

Thanks
[Android General] Ricochet90:
Someone on the facebook iocean community said that with the new update (0314 but Kitkat) the flickering dissapeared.

Why you don't try it and tell us if it worked?
[Android General] killeriq:
which one is it? ive just downloaded from their page:

RC_mt6752_h560_x9pro-fhd_ousheng_cc_128gbitp24d3_lp1_lte_5m-cs_mul_20150618-205249_songlixin_PC.zip - and its flickering

Then ive moved back to:

MP_mt6752_h560_x9pro-fhd_ousheng_cc_kk_lte_5m-cs_mul_tphone_20150519-210550_songlixin_PC.zip - no flickering all fine

[Android General] iOceanAlex:
how to flash

Can you tell me how i flash to 4.4.4?

I tried with flashtool and downgrade to 4.4.4 but the rom is not in the flashtool. Location is empty, even after i filled in the scatter.txt file.

There's something i do wrong or miss?

Can you help me out?

you can email me to alexbakarbessy@gmail.com if you want. then you explain me what i have to do to put the rom 4.4.4 on my iocean rock m6752. now there's 5.1 with a lot of trouble. I really must get rid of this 5.1.
[Android General] killeriq:
download latest MTK flash tool...then download the FW from iocean page...of course is not in MTK flash tool u need to set path where did u extract it..
[Android General] iOceanAlex:
Sorry, i do not understand it all. What is FW?

Do i have to set the path of the scatter.txt file?

Maybe you can describe it step by step for me (and for others)?
[Android General] iOceanAlex:
Hello,

I tried it again: downlaod flashtool, flashdrivers and rom. Opened the flashtool, but somehow the scatter.txt file does not appear. So i look it up and put in in. But after that the flashtool does not fill the screen at "location". What do i do wrong?

Hi everyone,

Anyone have problem with smart wake?

My smart wake not always work, sometime it's work but most time it don't. Most noticeable after couple minutes not using the phone

Which is the best way to temporary unroot phone? I have stock 4.4.4 20150519-210550. Is it save to install Xposed framework for that version?
[Android General] liangse:
Ok, so everyone have that problem. In post 126, it stated that Meizu m1 note smart wake always works compared to our phone. So is this only a software problem and would it solved when lolipop got stable build? Thanks
[Android General] miljenko:
If you like to unroot, just disable factory Super User managment under security.

Xposed should work without any problem.
[Android General] miljenko:
Smart wake is incorporated into kernel and this timings are fixable. I think they iOcean have done this on purpose to save battery life. If they like, this can be changed but battery life will be affected.
