I just tried your method and "root unavailable"...

I also tried others apk like framaroot, iroot etc... Kingoroot seemed to work as " root succeeded" in the end, but when I checked with root validator the device wasn't finally rooted :(
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
The only working method is with the TWRP recovery you can flash using parts from the spacerom . There are several posts in this threat that are detailed step by step how you can create one.

I recommend you flash this twrp so you can create a ROM backup and then flash the SuperUser. Without a ROM backup, i never adjust anything on a device.

yes, u must download spacerom, and choose those 3 files from it and flash it.
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
So I tried to flash the files but now I got this message "PMT changed for the rom, it must be downloaded".

Either I am dumb or my phone has been cursed before shipment :confused:

What's next can I do or trying to do ?

Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
I dont know what guide you are using, but the " good" guide tels you to use the stock rom scatterfile to flash the rom. Do not use format to flash. Use firmware update

[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
I follow the guide in post 814.

So when I tried to flash these 3 files (boot, recovery, userdata) I chose "Download only".

But now when I try to select "Firmware upgrade" I can't only select these 3 files!

I must have missed a step or what, it's the impossible root :D
[Device Reviews and Information] VinayakS:
The guide you followed is perfectly good if you are not worried about IMEI code, else use firmware upgrade , I just did "Format All + Download" on mine last night and all is well I have to manually fix IMEI on my handset every time after ROM update as handset came with incorrect IMEI and correct IMEI were sent later by geekbuying.

What Axelman8 meant by "Firmware upgrade" was for ROM update, not the second part of the guide where you use SpaceROM for achieving root.
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
Yes I know, I didn't have any problem to flash the Lollipop ROM and to reinstall the IMEI.

I am now blocked at the second part, to root the system. When I choose "firmware upgrade", I can't only check the boxes of the wanted files, each time it toggles automatically to "Download only"...
[Device Reviews and Information] VinayakS:
For the files from SpaceROM as it says you have use

Only.
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
Axelman says 'Frimware update" and you "Download only"...

Anyway in the two cases it doesn't work for me.

Thanks for your help!
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
As i have said, Choose the download only option, then only select boot, recovery and userdata, uncheck the rest, locate the three files from the space rom, press download, remove the battery from phone, put it back after 10 seconds, then plug in the phone switched off to the computer and it will do its thing. try this same process again, it should work.

what axelman8 said firmware upgrade was not for this rooting part, it was for something else.
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
Hi,

Sorry for the delay, I prefered to buy a 64GB SD card and make a full backup of the phone before trying again the procedure.

So I tried a XX times and.... Still the same issue : "PMT changed for the rom, it must be downloaded". :crying:

I have read on a french forum that we have to choose "Firmware upgrade" but as I explained before I can't select it and only get the boot, recovery and userdata files. It switches automatically on "Download only".

It is an impasse... In any case thank you for your help!
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
Dude, I told you the firmware upgrade is for something else, don't go checking for it. Maybe your drivers are not installed properly . try reinstalling them.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jeric0:
Hi, you have to use the same scatter file. For example:

If you had flash KK and now you want lollipop, you have to take the KK scatter file that you had use and put it in a folder of lollipop rom instead of lollipop scatter file

[Device Reviews and Information] HypoTurtle:
No, that is right.

The "PMT has changed" refers to the scatter file, or more specifically the partition layout of the phone and the layout described by the scatter file.

If the partition layout and the scatter are different the only way to use SPFlash is to format the phone to the new layout (i.e. Firmware Upgrade or Format All & Download). Or you could use a scatter that matched your current layout and use Download Only with that.
[Device Reviews and Information] lildwell:
Look guys. If you are changing to a completely different ROM you use format download. For example. You are going from official kit katt to spacerom. If you are upgrading your current ROM to a newer version you use firmware upgrade. For example. From official kit katt to official 5.0. If you are just flashing a specific file you use download only. To get root on official 5.0 you follow the third option. You load up the 5.0 ROM. Then you change the boot file to the boot file from spacerom. Make sure you have selected download only. Then press download.
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
OK so GOOD NEWS :

I finally managed to install the recovery after reinstalling SP Flash Tool (I should have begun by this).

But... BAD NEWS :

I lost ALL my apps and configuration (I was aware of that's why I made a backup before).

I tried to reinstall the backup through the TWRP recovery but it seems to be impossible ?

Then I flashed Lollipop again to use the original recovery but it didn't worked too, error message "checksum compare fail"...

So guys do you think it is dead to restore my apps and configuration or not ?

In that case I will have to complete the root and reinstall all my apps and configuration (I can't remember half of the apps :D).

Ouch!

I think this is a part of my Android learning :cool:
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
I have not experienced this problem so I do not know what to do there. But one thing I have to point out is your lack of thinking. Im not offending you or saying that you are dumb but when you are making a backup you should have thought that if that backup fails what would you do. So you should have made an external backup of your files to your pc, made a list of the apps you need to reinstall if it fails, write down the settings and configurations you have done in case you need to redo it, online backups of your savegames if u have any and so on. These should not be specifically pointed out to you as you should have thought about it. I apologise if I am being rude as I do not plan to be rude but to tell you what to do to prevent these type of accidents from happening in the future.

Next,

I have clearly mentioned step-by-step, every single thing what to do for rooting and flashing lollipop so please just do what I have mentioned in the guide and do not listen to anything else because they may get mistaken and tell you something else which could end up really bad. So please just do as told in the guide, watch the full video tutorial again if needed to for installing the drivers if the drivers have any problem.

If you are unable to restore the backup.

You won't get the configuration, but you can get the list of APPs, go to https://play.google.com/apps using any browser (using a computer for this is real easy) you will see "All Apps", click on it and select the Ecoo 3Gb and it will show all the Apps that you have used on this handset. You can then install them from right there. Click on the desired app, click install and it google will install it on your handset.
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
Can I ask you where to find this option ?

Yep nothing to lose, only apps and hours to reinstall.

Thanks!

That's great, I've forgotten that the apps were associated to our google account. I have being using a jailbroken iphone during years so I have to think differently with an Android system :)

I will try the Axelman's option and if It doesn't work I will take my time to reinstall my config.

no hypoturtle, it is wrong. u will think it will work because it will boot and all but some info which u dont even know about gets messed up, in some parts the kitkat info will be written in the lollipop rom if u use kitkat scatter to upgrade to lollipop. what lidwell said is right (thats what i said), u should use the rom's scatter which u r gonna put or which u r using(depends on the situation). but lidwell a mistake which u said, for rooting u have to choose not only boot, but recovery and userdata as well.
[Device Reviews and Information] HypoTurtle:
What I stated is the cause of the PMT has changed error. It isn't a driver or other error but related to the scatter. Looking at your post - people with this error have misread #1:

If you ignore #1 and use a different scatter then you will get the PMT has changed toast.
[Device Reviews and Information] lildwell:
I didn't need the boot file and user data. When you use that some pieces of the ROM don't work like smart wake. The kernel will say May 8th instead of May 28th. To get all of the features to of the new ROM to work you must only use the recovery. It may take a couple of flashes but it will work.
[Device Reviews and Information] southsider2009:
WTF is this? Upgrading process putting fellows into hard work? Damn it. 7uck mediatek for not releasing the source code for lollipop. All I ever wanted was a stable Kitkat custom rom ( Flyme OS especially). I should have bought Jiayu S3 advance

Hey i am able to get calls, sms and data on both too. But it seems that the phone doesn't get the 4G LTE... only the 3G.

The phone has de LTE Band 2600, wich my carrier, virgin mobile canada, is compatible with. And i have the LTE micro-sim.

So i'm asking if there is a trick or it's just the phone can't work right on the beaver land?
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
No you are wrong now, there was another's tutorial posted before mine and the guy too said boot, recovery and userdata. A lot of us used that way to root the phone and it was a success with no issues at all. To simplify that method and to clear any doubts I re-posted that tutorial in a more noob friendly way.

Are you sure dude? Cuz I don't use data so im not sure if just one band is needed to support 4G, go check with your mobile career and ask them are the bands in the phone supported by 4G from them.

Yes, yesterday i received my ECOO E04 3GB by mail!

I'm a old HTC guy, used many models of HTC in many years earlier so this is something new for me.... but a nice experience so far.

When i check settings/OTA so are something there but i don't know how to install this :

[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
lollipop OTA may or may not come because there is no news or update from them after the 20150528 lollipop rom released. If you want lollipop now, you have to use the flashing method. I think there is also some problem with the FOTA as I read from previous thread, I never use it before.
[Device Reviews and Information] mugencio:
Is the spacerom one?
[Device Reviews and Information] lildwell:
Spacerom works out of the box but doesn't have certain features like smart wake. To get all of the features available you use the newest ROM on the Eco site and the spacerom recovery to get root. The install the l speed hack and put in the proper settings. That makes the phone awesome. Add xposed into the mix and you got quite an impressive phone.

after installing the 10-04-2015 (flash version from needrom) official KitKat rom with format all+download…to a phone that previously had official lolippop …i get NVRAM WARNING: Err=0×10 in my wifi list. i fixed IMEIs, i tried solutions i found online to fix wifi mac address with hex editor etc…nothing…it remains in the list. why? any ideas to make it go away? :eek:
[Device Reviews and Information] VinayakS:
Had you switched OFF WiFi before editing the WIFI file, and had you restored the file permission before switching ON the WiFi?
[Device Reviews and Information] Alxnks:
unfortunately not, missed that step, saw it later on :D i fixed permissions though (wifi was on after restart though :/ )

any solution now?

do i also have to fix the wifi_custom file? ( i just checked it on hex editor and is pretty much empty)

will a new format all+download installation fix the problem?
[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
Download this ChameleMAC app by Cryptotel, install and generate a random mac address, reboot and the nvram error gone.
[Device Reviews and Information] VinayakS:
I hope you have a backup copy of your original WIFI file and your original MAC address. If yes, then just follow the guide at http://www.trishtech.com/2015/02/fixing-nvram-warning-err0x10-in-android-wifi/ take the same steps but carefully following all the instructions exactly.

You do not have to edit/touch wifi_custom file.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alxnks:
is this a permanent fix or will the app has to remain and apply the random mac on every restart etc?

if its not permanent...maybe i can put the generated mac in the hex editor and then replace again the wifi file and it will keep the new mac address?
[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
Permanent fixed, just generate once, apply and thats it can uninstall the app if you want
[Device Reviews and Information] Alxnks:
this is the guide i followed! :D

by original wifi file you mean before i installed kitkat or after? the file after installation..i have it. the original mac address...i dont have.

but i do have a backup from twrp from lolippop rom...can this help at all? mind you..now the rom is kitkat as i said and twrp is for kitkat as well.
[Device Reviews and Information] VinayakS:
By original file I mean after installing Kitkat but before editing the file.

MAC address should be same across firmware changes, so if you can get the original MAC from twrp backup, you will be good with it.

I would try avoid using a spoofed MAC, it could be a big security issue, but that's me.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alxnks:
ok, i will first try to install lolippop backup and do it all over from the beginning.

if not, i will try the spoofed mac.

i will let you know later on as i have to go out now.

[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
For the people facing the NV RAM error thing in the wifi list, it is because of a bug which adds two extra zeros in the beginning of your mac address. To fix this is very simple, just root your phone (guide in post 814), go to playstore, download chamelemac, open it, click generate random mac address, and press apply or modify or whatever the button is to make it the new mac address (i forgot the name of the button, but that is the only othher button, should be easy), and thats it. This is a permanent fix. Once this is done you can uninstall the app if u want.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alxnks:
That's why I asked other people's mac address beginning. The thing is that the nvram error occurs only after downgrade from lolippop to KitKat (along with imeis being lost). But even if imeis are restored and WiFi file restored too with correct Mac address...nvram error is still there.

I found a way to make it go though, I made permissions of the restored WiFi file to r-- r--- instead of rw- rw--. Don't know if this is ok to remain as that or not, what do you think?

However...on lolippop, with the same Mac address...no nvram error. And on the other phone that came with official KitKat, again no nvram error. Strange.
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
No , when you upgrade from kitkat to lollipop as well you get the nvram error. It happened to me
[Device Reviews and Information] Alxnks:
Ok, haven't tried to upgrade the other phone until now. I read that KitKat has better battery control, better photos..and I found that on lollipop the hotknot function is missing. On needrom though there is a new official lollipop with date 07-07-2015...anyone tried it to see how it is and if hotknot is again present?

So I thought to keep both phones on KitKat for the time being.

What about permissions to r-- r ---- that made nvram error disappear from my WiFi list? Should I leave it or alter the Mac address?

I don't know if this helps but in the preferred networks folder I only see 2g and 3g options with no option for any of the Canadian networks. What is the network number for Bell LTE ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
Read this about Bell mobile, scroll down to the LTE part, not sure your area support or not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Mobility

To check your sim LTE bands:

1. Go to dialer and key in: *#*#3646633#*#*

2. You will enter engineering mode, select Telephony than BandMode

3. Choose your SIM slot and check the LTE bands

4. Make sure you have Band 1/3/7/20 tick

Ecoo E04 band FDD-LTE:band 1/3/7/20 (800/1800/2100/2600)

Sorry, I'm not sure why your phone cannot detect LTE. Or maybe you can try to flash a new rom? I assume you are on kitkat, maybe try the official lollipop rom. But backup your existing one first using TWRP.
