Yes its possible, it doesnt matter if your phone is rooted or not.

Yes you can use SPFlashtool but i dont use the format all and download. I select the scatter file for the 28thMay ROM and use firmware upgrade. Then use the method i just wrote to get custom recovery and root and everything should be a-ok.

My kernel is dated the 1st May. What do I need to do to get the updated kernel?
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Your Kernel is showing as 1st May because you flashed the spacerom userdata.img when you flashed the recovery. I don't know whether this actually changes the kernel or just the information in "about phone".

Heat Error & Protective cover

Yea I got the "Battery too Hot" Message on ALL versions... some sooner (worse) than others but I gather the time of the day, and game intensity mattered too.

Most of the heat is concentrated EXACTLY BEHIND THE DOUBLE-LED FLASHLIGHT DIODES..

****As for the SIMPLEST AND BEST FIRMWARE SOLUTION to date (JUNE 4, 2015) is to flash SPACEROM 1.0 --Yes you will lose your emei 's and Vram but gain them back in 2 minutes @ the Google Play store with these two tiny free apps:

Chamelephon by Cryptotel (restore IMEI's)

ChameleMAC by Cryptotel (remove Vram x10 Error)

If you DO NOT want a custom recovery or pre-rooted phone (Only God knows why you would NOT want it) then just flash the latest May 28, 2015 Lollipop...

and yes you will lose your IMEI's and gain the Vram error and fix it in one minute later..

I will also ask if THERE IS ANYONE with a 3D printer that can print out protective case for the Aurora E04!! But please leave some space where the phone heats up (around the camera and LED's).

Help...sudden death

Good phone no problems, till now....

trip back in my car would like to check if i had a message from someone i just send a whatsapp..... guess what, phone complety dead.

battery were at around 60% not on charger.

now back at home trying to revive it, nothing works, not even been seen on the computer.

( tried battery out, vol up and connect to usb,(normal worked) tried power home up and the down combination, had the phone about 2 oures on charger(no charging in display whatsoever)

as for now i can;t get any live back in the phone.....

i am (were) on android 4.4.4 spacerom

anyone ideas???

thank you in advance!!!!

Update:

bought the phone on Focalprice.com.

been texting back and forth for some time now.

the solution they offer me:

90$ coupon for next shopping ( not gonna accept of course. )

or i need to pay 70 euro's and they will send me an new phone. (assuming the same model)

any one have had the same? and what do you think i should do, do i need to acept the 70 euro, and let them ship a new one, or should i need to ask another warranty idea?
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
So I installed the official Lollipop, preisntalled mailbox is present but the one I get on the store is better so it doesn't matter.

Still the same problem with the fingerprint unlock when I turn on the phone, I have tried all the settings possible. But nothing really disturbing :)

Thanks for advising me Fleksy, it looks great and no more vibrations! But is it really safe with the data you tape on it (password, credit card number etc...) ?

The main problem is about the camera : the vertical lines in the dark with flash persist whereas with SpaceROM this problem is fixed. Short, nothing's perfect... We'll wait for the next official ROM from Ecoo, maybe they will correct it.

Wow bad news...

I am not a specialist so I can't help you much than this, but it seems that this phone has a one year guarranty. You have to pass by the website you choose to get it. Send them a mail about your problem to see if they are serious.
[Device Reviews and Information] martreintje:
that has been done, but would like to try whatever i could myself before sending it back, ( 3 weeks or more waiting...)
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
I don't understand what you mean by the vertical lines. I just took a couple pictures in my room with no light apart from my flash and the picture looks good without any of these dark vertical lines you mention.

Fleksy is quite popular and they find security and safety of files/data as important if not more important than any other company.
[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
Zoom on the attached photo I took.

Here the lines are thin, but sometimes they are thicker and green. You're lucky if your camera works flawlessly!

I can't remember where but I already read that another user get this problem too.

PS : or maybe with another camera app instead of the one preinstalled, it will worked better. I will look at that and tell you.
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
You sure there's not been any damage to your camera/phone? Also check the back of the phone to see if there's any signs of scratching to the camera. Also is that photo taken in a dark room and then used flash to illuminate the room?
[Device Reviews and Information] VinayakS:

[Device Reviews and Information] jwinckelmann:

[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
Any damages nor scratches. Yep I took the picture in the dark and use the flash of the phone. When I take a very closed picture with flash, my bed for example, it's clear. And when I take a picture of my TV without flash it's clear too ! Maybe I will send a mail to Ecoo to report this problem.

Also I tried with a few others camera apps and it's the same.

The strange thing is that with SpaceROM I didn't have these lines...

I can also report issues with the camera with 20150528 Lollipop: It looks like a "stuck in macro mode" bug. I can get photos of things very close, but for landscapes the camera doesn't properly focus. I also tried the engineer mode options and those didn't help.

I think I'll go back to the 4.4.4 build again as the camera is important for me.

Good day,

I have been having issues with the upgrade of my ECOO E04 3GB to Lollipop, I have downloaded the SpaceROM v1.0.0.0 from needrom. I have installed the preloader drivers for mediatek . When I click download on SP Flash tool and connect my phone, nothing happens. In device manager, it shows "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port (COM10)" but the ROM is not being flashed. If I disconnect my phone, it gives the "BROM ERROR: S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (2005)" error. What am I doing wrong? I have checked tutorials and the driver they have usually is "MediaTek DA USB VCOM (COM 37)". I cant seem to find this driver
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
Hi,

Did you download the files i uploaded and linked to this thread a couple pages back for someone else? You'll need them and having PDAnet wouldnt hurt.

Also have you turned your phone off before plugging it into the computer? and dont forget to run SPFlashtools as admin
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Hi Techno, I had exactly the same issues that you mentioned and the problem was the drivers. Like you I kept getting the MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port message as well as the BROM ERROR message. I downloaded PDA Net and it installed the correct drivers for me automatically. I was then able to download the new ROM straight away.

Hi Guys, I was just wondering if any of you have had this issue. Basically sometimes when I dial a phone number it proceeds to the call screen and I wait for it to dial but nothing happens.

New Lenovo Vibe UI 2.0 ROM?

I've had expensive phones and less expensive ones.

The camera lines in the last two examples are cause by THE SOURCE of light. Particularly if the source is coming from TV (which flickers just like a monitor) or from Fluorescent lighting which also affects the camera lens.

Happens to MOST optical lenses.

The first example is definitely software problem., very strange.

Has anyone tried the New "Lenovo Vibe UI 2.0" ROM that came out 10 hours ago? Though Lenovo i the # selling manufacturer in China.... I'm afraid to try it. I'm running Spacerom 1.0 and it is flawless.

PRO:

*EXCELLENT GUI (based on 2.5 Lenovo Vybe) --lots of themes and great font/text

*SUPER EXCELLENT CAMERA STOCK APP (proof to everyone that the hardware is only as good as the software and the software is only as good as the hardware).

*True installation software.

*Lollipop 5.x

CONS:

*NOT pre-rooted or rootable (at least with iROOT)

*Stupid Contacts error message (may be removable-- didn't even try)

*No Fingerprint sensor support.

*No mod recovery.

I went back to my SPACEROM IMAGE in 45 minutes after flashing
[Device Reviews and Information] xaguilax:
Firmware upgrade leaves out a few files..

Firmware upgrade does NOT do a full swipe/install..

...Download + Format does..

also "Download" -only-- performs a partial flash..

So if you want partial go with Download only... you want full replacement do "Dowload + Format"

xaguilax
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
I dont remember where i read it but i was told that download and format has a higher chance to mess up your device (in terms of putting it in bootloop and bricking) so ever since i used firmware upgrade when flashing a new ROM :s Are there any problems with using firmware upgrade though? cause i've not come into any problems having used firmware upgrade. Is it just the fact that some files wont co-exist well with others? or is it more storage concerns?

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] xaguilax:
Causes for bricking....

The causes for bricking a phone are many. Not going to discuss this here.

But I will say this. You are MORE likely to brick a phone by MIX-MATCHING boot-loaders, preloaders, etc from DIFFERENT BUILDS that were not intended to be compatible. Download + Format will NEVER allow you to do that (mix/match).

I most certainly always use Download + Format when I am flashing a full DIFFERENT build (say Kit Kat to Lollipop) and I only use the other options when I'm just upgrading a component of the SAME OS or installing a recovery mod image (TWRP/CWM) etc.. That is a little bit more advance and you need to know EXACTLY what you are doing.

Hi s7yler, does this phone has notification led?
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
yes but surely you arent mix matching them if your flashing a complete new set that overides the old ones thus meaning your not mix matching but instead are flashing a new complete set instead.

Can you refer me to a site which explains this all clearly as i would much appreciate it (and so i can get my facts right :s )

Must the Sim & SD card be removed from the phone before flashing a new ROM or not?
[Device Reviews and Information] xaguilax:
The sim is un-writable from the pc with standard SP tools and usb drivers. But the PC can still access the SD card. You're flashing neither of them so I would remove them, just to remove any possible access to them. There is always storage and sim management setting you can change after you install your build.

SP tools also comes with a nice help menu.... & xda link:

If you watch the photo with zoom, you can see some blue lines, it always happens in darker places. Another really big problem is the GPS is imprecise as hell, you really cant go walking with the GPS, so its totally useless. Another problem is when im playing a game, after 10 or 15 mins its freezes and then the game reboots (i have tried severeal games). Another issue is the company support, at first, i downloaded the rom from the official web, but i didnt know how to flash it, i contacted them and im waiting for them yet, so i came here to learn how to do it ( many thanks to all the ppl who posted the tutorials), and when i flashed it, it was a unstable rom that you couldnt do anything!! (It was the cm12.1). So for me it has been a waste of money and time. I do not recommend this phone, go for another one.
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
Im not sure about the gps or the phone rebooting after playing games for that time period (i was playing a big game yesterday and i had no problem. I played for 25mins). The company support isnt very good i know. I sent them a message a while back and i still have no answer so don't bother with them.

Also i think you should really read more about the ROM before you flash it because i think everyone who has been following this post would know thats the worst ROM to have flashed for this phone so lets be honest here... its not the phone being bad in those terms but its you not going about it in the right way. If you chose the right ROM to flash (the 28th may one from the download section of the site) you'd see that the right ROM is quite stable and works like a charm.

I got a 505 after I installed Mortal Kombat X (moded --not from the playstore)

clearing data + cache should do it. If it helps: this happened to me last week with Spacerom 3GB--Clearing both the services and playstore cache and data-- cleared the error.

did you recently install a non play store app? what build are you?

Hi, as for E04 camera just want to share my findings in firmware change log.

One can see the camera sensors mentioned are OV13850 and OV5670.

spacerom battery life

Hey, i have a question for the people who are using the spacerom 1.0

How is the battery life in spacerom? Is it better than KK?
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
I think someone has mentioned something similar as that before and said that the 16 and 8 are the interpolated values

This means that this camera is fitted with a 13MP sensor then interpolated to make it 16MP where clever electronics inside the camera guess what's needed to "fill in the gaps" to create a 16MP image. Interpolation however is never a perfect process and there will be some loss of image quality due to interpolation :(

so for those which find problems with the camera and some quality issues, try changing the picture quality to 13 or even 12 megapixels in the settings from 15mp.

Hope that helps someone :D
[Device Reviews and Information] cmexonat:
Yep, but now it's for sure 16+8 are interpolated megapixels as it can be read from firmware change logs.

Actually 13+5MP there and the best choice is to shot with these values.

Hi all,

After a lot of different tests I have found the reason of these lines on the photos taken in the dark with flash.

It seems that is the overheating of the phone !

When my E04 is really hot, after a long game session for example, I always have these lines.

But when it is totally cool the photos are perfect !

The others members having the problem try and let me know the result. It could confirm my hypothesis ☺
