So you have to install supersu from playstore, open it allowing requests from chinese root (tap tge right box in chinese). Update it in normal mode and then restart phone. Now you have to uninstall all iroot chinese stuff with an app called system app remover.

After that try to do OTA and cross fingers..

Ok, we need to update rom using flashtool (you loose all content).

Follow the guides for installing drivers preloader/vcom windows 7 or 8.x, and then download latest flashtool and rom. The procedure for flash the phone is the same as others, you need to unselect preloader and use option download only on flashtool, pushing download button, after that connect phone to pc without battery inserted, only if the process don't start in few seconds, you have to put battery (but don't disconnect phone from pc).

Please this thread is not for this guide, it is a general knowledge for any mediatek based smartphone, so after reading guidea and having success with flash new rom, write your result only (ota success of not)

Cheers

I have try to link a few apps 2 sd but it don't works

i try link2sd (App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card.)

and foldermount. it's like the system don't won't to write on the sd card.

Do some have a solution for that problem?

[Device Reviews and Information] uniques65:
"c211_gq3019_3m_hd_extamp" it's the original name of the ulefone be pro , take update with an other custom recovery (cwm for example )

I also had that error.

Only way that i found was to flash stcok with SP Flash and room from needrom, and root and install recovery again.

I hope that doesn't happen with next update. Thanks good to Titanium ....

I was tempted to change update script to bypass check ... but it was to risk for me.

PS: original build.prop installed doesn't worked also
[Device Reviews and Information] Shadow67:
can some soul in this forum please post here what we need to flash the rom and how?

Because i cant connect the phone with flash tools , download drivers, instaled non signed ones tried all waht i could fine and the phone wont pass the dowload part in flash tools just stays there. =/
[Device Reviews and Information] jcvr:
Put flash tools in download and only after that connect the phone to the cable and without battery. Don't forget to unselect preloader.

That it what i did but the download wont start just stay static even drivers non verified etc nothing worked =(

Hello , I know that could sound a little strange what I'm asking but I would like to create two separate partition, on my Mlais Note Pro it was something like 4Gb and 10Gb, instead of the unique 14Gb partition.

I like this division because, first off all even if I use the wipe function the 10Gb partition remain intact and I can mount that partition in recovery too, use it for

backup and any other purposes, on contrary the 14Gb partition has not been recognised and mounted when I run the recovery and my external MicroSD of 32GB too .....

Tell me if I'm wrong , I need a little help

P.S.

I was thinking to use the two files used in spflash with Mlais Note Pro, EBR1 and EBR2, that has exactly the same amount of memory but I'm worried

about the result! ;)

[Device Reviews and Information] whiterabbit_it:
OK I would like to give my contribution to root/update/recovery problems.

About root I can confirm that iRoot v.1.8.2 is able to do it. At the end I usually install SuperSU, the one from the market and update the program directly at first run, not on recovery to be more clear

After that, switching off the phone, I flash with SpFlashTool ver.5.1452.x the lk+boot+recovery as suggested.

About recovery I've used all the recovery suggested, CWM-Modd CarlivTouch_30 PhilZ, almost without problem, only the TWRP_2840 doesn't recognize any volume, so doesn't work, and in all the others recovery tested I can only notice a very slow wipe of cache volume, never seen in all my other device, my last has been Mlais Note Pro Android 4.4.3.

Dalvik wipe works well.

I would like to report also a big problem, I don't know if is only mine or general, about the firmware update "c211_gq3019_3m_hd_extamp_20150212" ....everytime I've installed this update my Be Pro went instable!

As for "instable" I mean that very randomly the smartphone freezes and after some seconds it reboots, this happens also before any recovery/root installation.

Have any of you had a similar problem?

Sorry for my english! ;)

Most probably I've not been clear in my previous comment but I was talking about my Ulefone Be Pro and making only an example for reference with my Mlais partitions configuration, to explains what I would like to do on my Be Pro....

Trying to be more clear..... I would like to create two different partition(one of 4Gb and the other of 10Gb), as my Mlais Note Pro has, instead of one unique memory partition

That's all ;)

Ciao, I've just take a look but seems that for the new MT6732 chipset of our Ulefone Be Pro there is no clear solution at the moment.

Verifying the set of files on the stock ROM for FlashTool downloaded from the site NeedRom, I can see that the files for partitions definitions seem almost different from the one used on MT6592 platform... they are IMG files and with my Mlais Note Pro I used file like EBR1 and EBR2 but I'm not so expert to say something more precise.

Hello i got a Ulefone Be Pro and I really like it!

But I've noticed the touchscreen does not respond sometimes...

When typing a message quick on Swiftkey keyboard it often misses some letters , and I also have to double click icons and buttons from time to time.

My other phones were quite different, they responded at a minimal fingertip touch.

I'm using the enclosed screen protector atm, never tried it without one.

Anyone else can confirm that issue?

Hello my dears, I really need a urgent feedback from any "Ulefone Be Pro" users......

My smartphone is randomly freezing and rebooting frequently .... :(

In my previous comment I wrote that the problem seems related to the February firmware update but probably I'm wrong because it freezes also with the basic ROM, the one you can find on NeedRom site called "20150129_c211_gq3019_3m_hd_extamp_b1_3_7_20"

So reading around I've found some users that talk about Google app and services that are creating random problems

I'm not sure about my problem but my last freeze arrived with a "Google Gmail app" notification.....

Any of you has this kind of problem or is only mine?!?!?

Could be an hardware problem, just to write to the seller in time for substitution?!?!
[Device Reviews and Information] timbernot:
Thanks megthebest :) think i`ll wait a while till mtkdroidtools is working then

razorback- i dont use screen protector and i`m a bit rough with my phones - NO scratches so far - screens a good`n , i dont witness the problem your having ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] Razorback55:
Thats nice!

I have to tap 4-6 times to activate the screen, should be double tap to unlock. Double tap does it rarely for my phone, I think its luck when it works with 2 taps.

Should maybe try it with no screen protection idk.

Sorry if I insist but it's a real problem! Is any of you able to teach me how to debug the errors on Android?

Hey there, I have exactly the same problem as you. I have not been able to figure out what is the problem. I tried to get assistance from Ulefone but they customer service is horrible. In my case the phone is almost unusable as it freezes and reboots "as per Murphy's Law" when I need it urgently. This morning it froze and I couldn't turn off the alarm for 10 minutes. At this point my only hope is that Lollipop update will solve the problem, if it comes.
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
As whiterabbit did, please flash the stock rom january 29, put the last ota and make a factory reset. After that if it won't be ok, you need to ask seller for suppert and repair/substitute it.
[Device Reviews and Information] sergio_sergic:
Thanks, I'm going to try that. Hopefully it'll work.

I really don't want to go throug the hassle of replacing it, if the seller would even agree to it.
[Device Reviews and Information] akivas:

Hi guys.

I just tried Carliv recovery on my new Be pro.

I flashed it through SPflashtool then rebooted in recovery, made a backup on sdcard and rebooted the phone responding no to "fix recovery" and "fix root" because i don't want to modify system now.

I just want to do a backup "just in case".

the problem is I can't find any backup in any clockworkmod folder, none on sdcard an none on phone storage...

can anyone has a clue ?

best regards.
[Device Reviews and Information] ksafan:
OTA is for On the Air update and should not be confused with firmware updates using CWM or SP Flashtools. In my opinion should be corrected to avoid confusing others. OTA is wireless update.
[Device Reviews and Information] chan200606:
Have you checked /data/media/clockworkmod? I think that is the default location unless you chose to backup to SDcard1 in Carliv.
[Device Reviews and Information] t-minik:
Thanks chan200606 !

You're right, as i don't have root rights, i didn't thought i could check with aromaFM.

Now that's ok, i know where to check.

Thanks for your help and best regards ;)

I add a BIG UP to Carliv who once again made a great work for us :svetius:
[Device Reviews and Information] whiterabbit_it:
I hope is going well for you, because in my situation the Be Pro is "freezing & rebooting"(from now F&R) in any situation... I've flashed many many times the 29/1 ROM and it F&R, I've installed the two OTA update from Ulefone and it F&R....without root the same....rooting the phone...the same. At the end I've open a RMA with MYEFOX.IT (I'm writing clearly the seller name because I want to show you their RMA managing.... -_- ) and they asked me for a video..... inappropriate request considering that the smartphone F&R randomly in few seconds...but at the end I've made it. I send the video file via mail and "they are not able to watch it".... OK I copied the video on clouds giving them the URL for streaming and they say "I cannot see any problem, it works!"....the video show my fingers trying in any possible way to open a program or simply sliding down the notification area without success, and in few seconds the smartphone reboot by itself -_-

OK....this is the your way? ...I've opened a dispute with Paypal and I'm waiting for refund! :)

Two hours after the dispute opening , the sellers was asking me about the video from another email address and, apologizing, they asked me to close the dispute and send back the phone.... yesss of course, in another life maybe ;)

Another very bad habit about this seller....they want to communicate in Italian language.... I wrote four emails, and they didn't understand my very easy questions and sentences.... so at the end I started to write English

This was the first purchase from MYEFOX.IT and most probably also the last one! :mad:
[Device Reviews and Information] sergio_sergic:
I have to laugh as the same is happening to me with gearbest. I was walking around with a camera as a crazy person trying to film it on video to prove to them that I am not lying. Before that they asked me to find a local electronics shop to try and fix it and they would refund half of the cost. That pissed me off a lot that I filed dispute payment with PayPal and they told me the exactly the same thing, close the dispute send the phone back and we will give you a full refund. I'm starting to worry that it is a lost cause.

I am going to try to reflash it with factory image to see if it helps and let you know. I read somewhere that it helped someone.

Anyway, I know what are you going through and I hope that it will work out for both of us.
[Device Reviews and Information] sergio_sergic:
Well reflash didn't help, still freezing and rebooting.

Although this sounds like a hardware problem, I think I'll wait to make any changes to my phone for a while. My completely stock Be Pro is behaving fine, and I don't want to mess up the Lollipop update anyway.

Especially since I too purchased from gearbest...

Just a question to the owners of a Be Pro: Would you buy it again??

On the moment I am using a Galaxy S3. Over the time, some parts of the EMM became corrupt resulting in closed apps, freezes, etc.

As there are no good deals here in Germany at the moment for a contract + phone (I'd want the S5), I will just buy me a new phone that should bring me over the next 10-16 months.

At the price-range the Be Pro looks decent. Don't wanna spend way more, cause it's only till I get a good bundle deal.

Would the owners still recommend this device?
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
I reccomend be pro, but take a look on another 5,5" killer, the mlais m52. Same cosy, but new powerful octa core mt6752 and better video.
[Device Reviews and Information] german_psycho:
Yeah, saw the mlais M52, but as I never had heard of the manufacturer and the phone isn't reviewed anywhere (seems to be release beginning April 2015), I stepped a little bit back from ordering on of these. And I don't believe in specs of china phones given by the manufacturer/vendor. If the first phones ship out and are confirmed with a 6752 that's great news ;)

btw: Is there any date announced for the lollipop update for the Be Pro yet?

Edit: Just tried to send mlais an email with some questions to the adress provided on their website. Got a "Mail delivery failed" with "No Such User Here" as error.

If they couldn't get their mail configured properly, I doubt their business a little.. so, I think I will stick with the be pro ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] Matticus_Finch:
Lollipop Update was promised for February. Now it is promised for March. Soon it will be April.

Like a few other people, my phone freezes, reboots and loses Internet access when on 4g which can be fixed by disabling and re enabling data. Restarting the phone every day seems to help with the freezing so I have this set to occur daily with a timer as my power button stopped working after a couple of weeks. The headphone jack is useless, I've tried over 20 sets of headphones and have found two that the plug doesn't fall out. Even then, the volume is very quiet. The USB plug seems quite loose, when charging I need to check the cable is seated properly and not move the phone. These problems don't seem to be the case with all the Be Pros so maybe it's a quality control issue, but it's something to consider if you order one. The headphone problem is a design flaw though and will be present on all phones.

Besides the headphone problem when it's all working this is a fantastic phone for the money and you will notice a huge difference in zippiness over the S3. That said, if I had purchased this phone from a local shop I would be returning it but to post it back for me costs almost half what I paid for the phone. I'll put it up with it for a while and see what else is available, if I had to order a phone right now I'd probably consider this but the headphone jack would probably steer me away as I need to use it every day.
