Thanks for the quick response Axelman.

Today I've installed the ClockworkMod ROM manager to make a ROM backup before attempting to make a Factory reset as the seller suggested and this is what's happening.

When I select "Backup Current ROM it gives me a backup name (date & time) I hit ok the phone goes out and then a funny Android icon appears on screen (litle green Android laying on its back with a red exclamation icon on it's belly) and a short Chinese logo underneath. After a while the phone reboots and I see some new folders created on the SDcard but they are empty. What is going on?

Since I made the changes yesterday on the mtk engineering app my ring-necked and message tone is very loud even if I lower the volume. Any idea which audio option on the app might be causing this?

Hi

Are you sure that you know what you are doing? If you like your phone, then be carefull.

You make use of the CWM functionallity, but the logo you are talking about is the default recovery but not the clockworkmod.

I guess your rom is 4.4.4 right? You can find CWM in this thread and you can use "quickboot" from the playstore to boot with CWM.

Hi Axelman, I thought I had it figured out but not quite. I just reduced the loudspeaker mode where it says 'type - ring' but it hasn't worked. So does this mean that better sound in the earphones means a loud ring and SMS tone at all times?
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
So i went ahead and flashed SpaceROM without a problem.

But when i came to get xposed(using recovery mode to flash it) i come up with an error saying error installing xposed and i'm lost on what to do now.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] fourzero0:
New version at www.ecoo.hk/download.html

I won't flash until tomorrow. Anyone?
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
I told you

It will be louder, not better

You can split the sound with xposed and the gravitybox module.. Then you will be able to adjust media and phone volume

HaHa, is it complicated to do using exposed and the gravitybox module, and can I download the gravity box module version from the playstore (does it work with lollipop 5.0)?
[Device Reviews and Information] x_con:
No that's the point, I don't know what I'm doing or what I'm supposed to do and yes you are right, my rom is 4.4.4. All I want is to make a full backup of the phone (ROM, Apps, Contacts etc) just to make sure if I do mess it up I can fully restore it.

I took your advise and did read again this thread but I'm not getting it I suppose I need a guide for super dummies.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my query's and trying to help, much appreciated.

And now something else. Every time I try to check via wireless update if there is anything new the following messages pop up.

a. Your system was damaged, wireless update is disabled.

b. Network connection failed.

For every try I get one of the messages, the first one more often. Didn't manage to connect once.

Any clues?
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Alright, I'm game...

Have just downloaded. When unpacking the RAR file I git a CRC check error on the system.img.

Despite the above I still went ahead and tried to flash it after making a backup.

It works so far. It is "stock" android and not CM12.1 this time. Android 5.0 to be precise:

kernel:3.10.61 sat may 30th

build number: ecoo_e04_20150528

Fingerprint scanner works.

Another piece of good news: it is not encrypted by default. That should mean that we can install the custom recovery (spacerom TWRP) without the need for the boot.img and userdata.img. That's what I'm going to try next.

EDIT 1: To get recovery working you still need to flash the boot.img and userdata.img. Flashing the recovery on it's own wouldn't allow me to boot into TWRP recovery and when booted in to the main system gave me crashes on Gallery and Camera.

EDIT 2: Started over with a fresh install and no recovery etc.... Still getting crashes when ever I try to open Gallery or Camera. I don't know whether this is connected to the CRC error when unpacking the RAR file. Anyone else want to try?

EDIT 3: OK. I downloaded the file again and this time got no CRC error when unpacking. Once installed the Gallery and Camera are working now.

I have also installed the recovery.

I have also been able to Root using the flashable SuperSU.zip.

Something very interesting to note. Usually when flashing the roms and making backups etc the phone gets very hot. Not this time, despite performing all of the above the phone is not too hot at all.

That's all from me for now, going back to my trusty 7th May ROM until I have time to set this one up properly.

EDIT 4: IGNORE THE ABOVE, please see y later post

Are you using the 5.0 alpha version of Xposed? There should be 2 downloads available in the XDA page. One should work.

[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Hi Lidwell, is this regarding the gravity module? I can see gravity box (LP) in the Xposed download section. Is that the correct program that axelman was talking about with regards to the phone volume?
[Device Reviews and Information] lildwell:
Yea. Install that then go to media options. Select expandable volume. That way you can change volume for ring, media, and alarm separately.

Latest version of lollipop from the Ecoo website (28th May)

Ok. I have it all up and running with:

Root

TWRP Recovery (only need to flash the recovery.img, no need for the boot.img and userdata.img)

Xposed

Wireless update now works.

All working well so far.

Have you noticed any differences between the two lollipops so far?
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
The most obvious difference is the wireless update. That and the fact that installing the TWRP recovery is less complicated.

To be honest, the phone's taken a bit of a hammering this evening getting all my apps etc on to it so it's hard to tell if there is any difference in performance yet. I'll give it a normal day's use tomorrow and see what it's like.
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
So i tried the more recent one and when i came to install it with twrp from spacerom it gave an error:

E: Error executing updater binary in zip (where the file is) then an "error flashing zip"

they didnt seem to work so i went ahead and updated to the new ROM released by ECOO and i have to admit i'm impressed! its a lot more stable than previous versions.

But i've come across a bit of a snag when i tried to get twrp on the phone. I dont think im doing it right but i tried to use SPflashtool and the Download only to flash TWRP on but it gave me the "error pmt changed for the rom" and i realised i have to create a scatter file using MtkDroidTools but heres the problem. MtkDroidTools just doesnt seem to detect my phone. Any idea on how to get it to detect my phone??

Thanks in advance

[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
I was just wondering, when you guys update to a new ROM do you just backup and reinstall all your apps from the previous ROM to the new one with all the individual app settings intact. Or do you have to manually install them one by one again and input all the settings from scratch?, The second option would personally make me think twice about installing a new ROM with all the hassle and time needed in getting all the apps correctly installed and working again.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
You don't need to create a scatter file. Just use the one from the latest ROM you downloaded from the Ecoo site. Then make sure everything is unchecked except for recovery, replace the recovery file with the TWRP one by clicking on the file path. It should flash fine then using SPFlashTool.

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

I usually make a full backup of my current ROM using TWRP, I then make a back up of my sms using "SMS Backup & Restore" app - this backs up SMS to an email sent to your web mail that can easily be restored using the same app. I then perform a full wipe and fresh install. Most of the apps I use are web based anyway (facebook etc) so not really much in the way of settings to back up. I use a notepad app for important information. I back this up using "MyBackup Pro" which backs up to a cloud that I can then restore later. Music, pictures etc all get stored on the SD card anyway so no problem there.

It's then a case of reinstalling the apps, launcher etc and setting up how I want it. I wrote myself a list of settings and apps that I refer to when I need to. It's a bit of a pain but becomes quite easy to do once you've done it once or twice.

In addition to the above, Smart Wake now works and ,in my experience, the fingerprint scanner is performing much better than before.
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

So i went and did what you said and it flashed fine but when i came to go into recovery it just shows the android bot lying on its back with a red error over it. Not sure what i've done wrong. Any idea how i can fix this?

Thanks in advance
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Are you sure you are using the correct Recovery.img? Where did you get it from? You need to use the recovery.img that came with v1.0 of Spacerom.
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
Oh i don't think i made it clear. This is for the new ROM from ECOO. Everything works on the SpaceROM.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
I understand, I am also referring to the new ROM from Ecoo. The recovery you need to flash is the recovery that came with Spacerom. Flash it after you have flashed the new ROM. Use the scatter file from the new ROM, de-select everthing in SPFlashTool except "recovery", change the path to direct recovery to the recovery.img from the spacerom ROM, select Download only and flash the recovery.
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
Ohhhhh. Okay i was using the recovery from the twrp from needrom. Ill try it now and see what happens. Thanks!

Edit 1:

so i did what you said and it still showed the bot with the red ! mark. Any suggestions on what to try?
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
It should definitely work and has worked for me with exactly the same ROM. Are you sure you changed the path to the recovery.img so that it picked up the recovery.img from spacerom v1.0. What you are describing is what happens if you try and go into the stock recovery which would suggest you haven't actually flashed the right recovery. The scatter file will automatically try and use the recovery from the same folder where the scatter file resides UNLESS you change the path.

It might help if you take me through the steps that you went through to flash the recovery.
[Device Reviews and Information] Zenuno:
Hey dude.

I had the same error trying to install it and then i manage to install the img file with a Linux console.
[Device Reviews and Information] fourzero0:
I had no recovery after flashing only recovery.img too.

Had to flash all 3 images with boot and userdata, then it was ok.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
That's what happened to me the very first time I tried flashing it but there were 2 strange things that happened:

1. The date of the Kernel went back to 1st May instead of 30th May

2. When connected to the PC the phone storage showed as only about 900MB

So I did a fresh install and the just flashed the recovery.img on it's own and everything worked fine. Phone storage size was back to how it should be and so was teh Kernel date. Weird.
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
Okay so this is what i did exactly:

I opened SPflashtools (v5.1432.00.000)

click on the scatter-loading button on the top right and pick the one for the new 28th May ROM by ECOO. With everything ticked i put it to firmware upgrade.

I then click download and plug my phone in (which is switched off). And eveything works fine.

I did the above because when i read your post i had gone back to spacerom.

When it gave me the download ok and big green tick i unplugged my phone and switched it on.

unlock it and just check if everything looks ok.

I then go and turn my phone off.

In SPflashtool (which i didnt close) i untick everything and then double click on the path for recovery and select the recovery.img in the spacerom folder.

With only that ticked and it set to download only i click download and then plug in my turned off phone.

it does its thing and shows the green tick and download okay so i unplug my phone and turn it on to see if it still works. It does.

I then turn it off, wait then hold the power and volume up button till it shows the 3 options: recovery, fastboot and normal and i select recovery. Here it then shows the error sign with the bot.

Have i done something wrong?

Thanks in advance
[Device Reviews and Information] fourzero0:
Kernel is 1 May, can't connect to PC now, seems I'll have to fresh install too. Btw, with fresh install you mean Format all + download?
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:

The camera on the Ecoo E04 Plus is an OV13850 - a 13 MPixel sensor. Set your camera to 13 MPixel resolution for 4:3 images, or to 10 Mpixel when using the 16:9 format:

http://www.t-firefly.com/download/f...13850-G04A_OmniVision_Specification(V1.1).pdf

This will seriously increase the photo quality. What I didn't find yet is whether the MTK6752 supports 1080p/30fps/HDR video recording, 1080p/60fps or 4k2k/30fps. I can only select "fine" as best video quality, the details are hidden by the Google Camera App.

The latest 20150528 Android Lollipop works quite well by the way - only little glitches for me: Instead of only showing the finger print sensor app when choosing "Finger Print" as unlock mechanism, the Wipe screen is also shown when activating the phone. All the rest works very well for me. I am very impressed, this is a phone how I imagined it to be - long battery run time, fast, solid, and actually quite nice. GPS/Glonass receiption is great, Runtastic works without issues. Wifi works well and reaches quite far. I don't have issues with a slim border around the display, that sounds childish to me.

I liked my Sesonn9500+, I hated the Elephone P8 - no updates, instable, very short run time on battery, crashes all the time, battery meter was total rubbish.

I have first tried to download Towelroot directly from the phone but it seems that this app isn't available anymore (a crypted page appears when you click on the reversed Y). Then I have tried Framaroot, iroot, King root, Roomaster etc... and anyone can do the root of my phone!

I have too verified with Root checker and the phone is not pre-rooted.

So I don't understand why lots of you can root their phone without trouble while mine is going to make me crazy :)
