oh sorry thats the apk version my bad xD . but i wasnt using 2.46 so ill give that a try
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
You have to use the flashable xip and flash from recovery. You can't just install the apk.
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
Well first off i wouldnt recommend cyanogen 12.1 for the ECOO E04 as it was really buggy when i flashed it(and it had many other problems). I recommend you get spaceROM or the latest 28th May rom that ecoo themselves released on their site. (but you'll have to have the 3GB version of the phone for that). If you get spaceROM then it'll be prerooted. if you want to stay with 4.4.4 then you could use iroot to root your device, it works like a charm and all you have to do is press a button!

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

Yes i know that. I was using v1.93 of the flashable zip and not v2.46. Just waiting for the phone to reboot with 2.46 being flashed to see if its worked.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

and it worked. Thanks for correcting me Stapo!

Hi guys!

I cant make it work.

I use smart phone flash tooll, does not work, i tried the multi port flash tool, nu success.

It seems that the computer dont recognizes the phon, it cant find it.

How do i do to get the pc to find the phone??
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
your going to need to install some drivers. what OS is your computer?
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
Thank you for answering !

At first I wanted to install the 5.0 ROM available on the Ecoo site. But after having read on a french forum that the 5.0 has some bugs that 5.1 or Cyanogen 12.1 are correcting, I have changed my mind.

What about the IMEI problem if I choose the Spacerom ? Is it easy to do for a rookie like me ?

If not I prefer to just install the official 5.0 Lollipop from Ecoo (I have the 3GB version).

I have tried several times to root with iroot and others apk, it doesn't work in my case... I really doesn't understand why!
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
You should probably ask yourself what you are trying to achieve.

Do you want a stable ROM? or do you want the latest flavour of Android?

Why are you looking to root the phone? What are you planning on doing with a rooted phone that you can't do with a non-rooted phone?

BTW - the CM12.1 is nowhere near as stable as the official 5.0 ROM or the spacerom. What bugs are you referring to?
[Device Reviews and Information] fourzero0:
CM12.1 for E04 is not stable yet. On the other hand, official 5.0 is very good. Use that great tutorial altogether with last 5.0:

[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
Have you installed all the correct drivers? That may be why iroot didnt work...

The latest ROM from ecoo has no bugs from what i see and i've not come across any problems that couldnt be fixed easily! If you want to skip the hassle of having to get a custom recovery and rooting then i would say go with spacerom. Only reason i went to the new one from ECOO is that i like the boot animation and i feel safer having done the root etc myself (for some odd reason). Also i've never come across any imei errors so i dont really know much about it but i know that it can be easily fixed as long as your Imei numbers arent fake (you can take imei numbers from old phones though apparently).
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
First, I have used Apple phones during near ten years so Android phones are mystery for me :)

Normally my E04 3GB should come with Lollipop when I received it from Geekbuying but they didn't do the update.

Yes all I want is the best ROM running on this phone and it seems to be Lollipop or Cyanogen. To install Cyanogen you have to root the phone isn't it ?

But my first option was to install the official 5.0 ROM and I think this is what I will do! Can you too confirm that it is simple to do for an Android rookie as I am ? I have already downloaded the zip file.

I have contacted the support on Ecoo site and they gave me this tutorial to flash a ROM :

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

Thank you!
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
If you want simple i would go with SpaceROM because you only need to flash the ROM itself and not flash custom recovery/root (I think Stapo would agree). That is the same tutorial i used i think.
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
Which drivers are you talking about ? But no I haven't installed any driver, I have just downloaded iroot and others same apk and run them.... I repeat I am a real rookie :cool:

In any case thank you guys for helping me so fast!
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
do you have windows 7/8?
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
I had a problem with the drivers. I used pda net and it installed the drivers automatically while the phone was connected to the laptop. Download that to your PC and it should work.
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
Yep! Win 7 Pro Pack 1
[Device Reviews and Information] pelle68:
It's win 8.1 64.

What drivers do you think that i need?
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
OK... So to root the phone you have to plug it on your laptop ? Now I understand why I need this drivers! But from what I have read on others forums, the root can be done directly from the phone...
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Ok, forget the CM ROM, it is not ready for use.

It is debatable whether Lollipop is better than the established KitKat ROM that you have on your phone already. KitKat is more established and works very well.

Lollipop on the other hand is the latest, newer model. It really depends whether you consider yourself an early adopter, a tweaker, a tinkerer or whether you just want your phone to work out of the box.

You don't need to root the phone to install any of the ROMs. Rooting will allow you to go to the next level of tweaking and allows you to install certain modifications like Viper4Android which gives you more control over sound, Xposed which can give you lots of little visual tweaks etc.

Then there is the custom recovery. You can flash a custom recovery and this will allow you to make full backups of your system.

But my advice at this point would be to install the official 5.0 ROM and use it for a few days before you decide what you want to change.

Word of warning though, flashing a new ROM will mean you will lose everything stored on your phone's internal storage, apps, settings, pictures etc. It is also likely to wipe your IMEI information which is a pain but can be re-entered using the guide in an earlier post.

unzip then run dpinst.exe if you have 32bit OS or dpinst64.exe if you have 64bit OS

And for a precaution install pdanet (i have version a180)
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
Many thanks for these explanations!

According to Geekbuying description : "E04(3GB) will be equipped with Android 5.0 (Lollipop), the most obvious change is the colorful magnificent UI".

In fact Lollipop optimizes the FHD screen if I have well understood ?

OK so NO root to install a ROM. This is clear for me now.

But I have to make a full back up, a custom recovery, before changing the ROM.

It doesn't matter, I have the phone since yesterday so I will lose anything important :)

I am aware about the IMEI problem, but if it can be fixed easily using the tutorial I think it worth a try.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

OK I have installed the drivers and PDAnet on my computer and phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
you dont need a custom recovery to Flash a new ROM. ( A full back up is advised if you dont want to lose your data/ if you run into any problems and seeing as you just got the phone yesterday i dont think there is any need cause you can just flash back to 4.4.4 if anything wrong happens (which hopefully it won't)

SP Flashtools should work correctly now that you've installed them.

SPACE ROM 1.0 100% working, Rooted/TWRP'ed/ and OTA!

Same here! I have been using SPACE ROM 1.0 from Simone. 100% - Love it..

So far --to-date-- the best best firmware for the Ecoo Aurora E04 --100% working. Rooted and TWRP'ed.

The only improvement that may come in the future is the heating of the phone when during intense gaming. Also the official code is due to come out soon that may resolve the issue on all builds.

Everything's fine but I have lost my IMEIs so I have to reinstall them.

And is there a way to remove the horrible screaming boot logo ?
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
Easiest way is to get a boot animation app to replace it for you :) theres loads out there. personally i like bhoot but other apps have a bit more variation
[Device Reviews and Information] xaguilax:
Could you do me a HUUUUGE FAVOR.... for all of us...

Okay so, since you are among the early adopters of the official 5.0 Firmware...

1.- Could you download a game like Asphalt 8 Airborne and play it for about 10 minutes.... (two laps) and see if the phone is still getting too hot and the "too hot battery" warning pops up?

Not to hate on our phone, but so far. I have received that over heating in EVERY Firmware... 4.4.4. , 5.0, and Space-Rom. One firmware version was REALLY bad (March kitkat version). but in any case ALL gave me a warning.. I hope it's fixed. We may need to wait until the mediatek source code is released this month.

I've already performed elaborate camera tests on both builds. On both the Kit-kat and the Lollipop, if the build is "bad", the camera will be laggy.

In regards to firmware/software driver difference in the hardware handling between both builds.. IS FALSE.

I took pictures with 1x 4x from close up to 35 meters away... IDENTICAL SNAPSHOTS ON BOTH O.S.es.

So I am stuck considering whether to buy this device or wait for the 3gb edition. I just hope there were no hardware changes so the Lollipop will work and be available around the same time.

P7000 is more expensive and has the fingerprintscanner on the back of the device (not practicle)

[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
The factory has made a delivery change. I got an email today from my supplier... Indeed the delivery is around half April from the factory, but even this could be postponed...

All of this could be a marketing trick from the factory for the pre-sale's. The Elephone P7000 is set for release at the end of April which is allso a very good and beautiful phone and a similar competing device for the Ecoo E04plus.

But what can we do.... Just wait for it and hope they tested android L 5.1 so it works flawlessly right?

[Device Reviews and Information] Shycko:
ECOO E04 is truly an amazing phone, but, If time is not a problem I would wait until the Elephone P7000 is launched (and reviewed).

It will offer more than 5 different ROMs' options (including CyanogenMOD and MIUI). This kind of feature would make a huge difference in a smartphone's use experience and "life expectancy".

Hi, someone have a twrp recovery? I'm looking for twrp.IMG file
[Device Reviews and Information] igi0n:
There is a working CMW recovery for the Ecoo E04. I've uploaded it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2hcd1m6plaombja/ECOO_E04_recovery_CMW.rar?dl=0

How to get it to work:

You need to be Rooted

(1) Download "Flashify" from the store

(2) Download "Quick Boot" from the store (if you need it)

(3) Use Flashify to flash the zip file onto your device

(4) Use Quick Boot to boot into CWM Recovery

Goodluck :)

Android 5.1

Hey, good phone but alas without Android 5.1 it miss the cake. Honesly i which they move to the 5.1 as soon as possible.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Mediatek has postpone the official release of the final Lollipop sources to June, so that has stopped the brands a lot! They can't really move to 5.1 before Mediatek release all the final Lollipop sources. So don't blame ECOO, blame Mediatek.

The second issue is, that Mediatek still seem to have some unexpected issues with the MT6732 SoC in combination with Lollipop. This made them postpone the official release of the final Lollipop sources to June

Source: http://chinamobilemag.com/ulefone-be-pro-running-android-5-0-lollipop-beta-1-rom/
[Device Reviews and Information] Minouch:
Okay i understand the problem, looks like Mediatek is waiting its older socs to be bought before releasing the new rom. Anywhere this is a barer for many buyers to wait tile June before making a purchase especially because most of us are not able to do the upgrade from 4.4 to 5.1 by ourselves especially me, so at least someone post a video how to do the upgrade when the rom is out.

Thnx for your info. It that why the 3GB version of the Ecoo E04 is still in beta?

The ColorOS ROM: ColorOS2.0-ECOO_E04_2GB_3GB_ BETA_20150328_s7yler.zip

- does the fingerprint scanner work?

- any other specifics about the ROM? Things maybe not working? Doesn't matter but want to know :)

- Thank you for your work :)

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

Yeah, I saw it. ColorOS has a good reputation and I want to try it. Just waiting for a reply from the creator for some small things :)
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Yes that's why the Lollipop ROM is still in Beta for the ECOO. They have to develop it on their own. Normally it should have been develop by Mediatek and given to the brands. But right now Mediatek doesn't help them, so it will take much longer to achieve the goal.

The ColorOS ROM I didn't make, I just uploaded it with permission from ECOO. Haven't tried it myself yet, no time. You can just flash it, if you don't like it, then flash back the stock ROM again, the stock can also be found on needrom.com. If you flash correct, there is no risk trying the different ROMs as long you have the stock ROM also as backup.
[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:

ok can u tell me steps for rooting phone? i have installed 28th may rom and now plz tell me proper steps to root my phone including downloading files link required to root it. i am beginner here so plz help me out

and also tell me how to remove that nvram error in wifi list thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
OK thanks for the advice! I will look to a boot app.

So after a few hours of use I have detected some bugs, is it your case ?

- No mailbox preisntalled (I have downloaded one from google store).

- In the parameters I have disable the vibe when you write a text but the phone still vibes when I tape a word.

- When I turn on the phone I have to enter twice my PIN code instead of enter it once and next use the fingerprint.

All this point worked flawlessly with the 4.4.4 in my case.

Do you think there is a way to rearrange this ?

The real good point is the quality of photos in the dark, before there were lots of vertical lines but everything's fine with the SpaceROM!
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
I dont think i can help out with the nvram error in wifi as ive not come across it but ill help with rooting it.

So your going to need SpaceROM: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9VKTZb5QMETUEVmRDg4c0QzLVU/edit

you'll also need the supersu flashable.zip: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

and im guessing you already have SPFlashtool.

Unzip SpaceROM to your desktop

With your phone off and not plugged into the computer open up SPFlashtool with admin rights (right click open as admin)

then your going to need to click on the scatter-loading button and find the android scatter for the 28th may rom (it should be a .txt file in the 28thMay ROM folder)

Having opened that a list should appear.

Untick all of them

double click on the recovery location and navigate to the SPACEROM FOLDER and double click on the recovery.img for spaceROM.

Now some people have apparently got the custom recovery working with just the recovery.img but it didnt work for me so i also did the same thing for the boot (find boot.img in the SPACEROM FOLDER) and userdata (find userdata.img in the SPACEROM FOLDER).

having changed the 3 (or just recovery if you want to try it as just that) the 3 should be ticked.

Make sure the drop down menu is on download only then go ahead and press the download button

with your phone off(take battery out then put it back in) plug your phone into your computer after you've pressed download. The process should do its thing and show the green tick once its done.

unplug and turn your phone on. If everything looks good then plug it back in and put the supersu.zip (dont unzip it) onto your phones storage.

go ahead and turn off your phone and boot into recovery (hold power and volume up button till phone turns on and click the navigate button). If you did everything right then spaceROM twrp should come on.

click on install and navigate to where you put the supersu.zip and click on it. Swipe to install. When its done clear dalvik and cache (should be a button after completed) by swiping then reboot your phone.

Ta-da your phone is rooted.

Dont forget to press the thanks button :D

Which mailbox? gmail or the preinstalled one? i had the preinstalled one. The ROM doesnt come with most of the Gapps. I wouldnt know with the keyboard as i use fleksy (i recommend it highly). I also dont use a pin or the fingerprint scanner (but i did try the fingerprint scanner and its a lot more accurate now!) I did set up a pin though and i only had to type it in once when i came to unlock after turning it off and on and no fingerprint scanner came up (i set up my fingerprint scanner) not sure how you can fix the last one apart from resetting the security on your phone by setting the pin to something else and reverting back to your old one.

But i just realised im using the 28th may ROM and not Space ROM. I advice you to try out the new rom then!
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
No, the preinstalled one.

Ah OK I believed you had the SpaceROM :)

So if I decide to go back to the original 5.0 ROM, is it technically possible ? As my phone is now rooted.

With SP Flash Tool the procedure is the same ? Format all and download ?
