[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phaet2112:
Our phone slowly starts freezing on touch input on the screen until it no longer recognizes input and stays at the lock screen. Home key and menu/back arrow remain functional, but we have a pin lock. Wiping the android db cache in the boot menu restored it to normal for a few weeks, then it began the gradual descent into frozen territory. Restoring the firmware via kies worked for a month. This was bought as unopened replacement from swappa. This started happening after we installed the OTA update around November. It was dropped in water on Thanksgiving, and we had the micro USB board swapped out for repair, however we didn't notice any freezing until after the New Year.

Is this a common problem with the OTA update Tmo sent out? I don't think it is a residual problem with water damage- would a digitizer problem be fixed with the wiping/kies firmware update? Would I be able to flash the google play edition rom on this instead? Thanks for any help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
It's most likely due to the water damage, being that you had a board replaced tells me that there was damage and now something else is failing.

You probably need a replacement phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phaet2112:
After flashing the Kies based stock rom again, it only un-froze after wiping data and cache. After that, I just decided to go ahead and try stock GPE 5.0 on it from muniz_ri. That flashed and it was working again last night. I don't believe it is the digitizer as flashing different software wouldn't restore it back to working order if it was a hardware defect, I would imagine.

"Unlocking” a device refers only to disabling software that would prevent a consumer from attempting to activate a device designed for one carrier’s network on another carrier’s network, even if that network is technologically compatible. In other words, “unlocking” a device will not necessarily make a device interoperable with other networks-a device designed for one network is not made technologically compatible with another network merely by “unlocking” it. Additionally, unlocking a device may enable some functionality of the device but not all (e.g., an unlocked device may support voice services but not data services when activated on a different network).

Apparently "unlocking" and rooting aren't the same thing. Still a step in the right direction though!
[General Topics] drago10029:
Yes unlocking and rooting are very very different friend. You should do some researching on the 2 subjects. There's a lot you could learn! expecially on the rooting ;)
[General Topics] shallmann:
Thanks I know the difference. I meant for the purpose of the article they weren't the same.

I'm waiting for mine , i buy one and i hope i can root him .... more 12 days to wait :(

on your battery test ,the processor is a 6732 : Processor	ARM MT6732 @ 1.69 GHz

1 processor, 8 cores , but on 8 cores is the MT6752 no ?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Yeah, but many apps are still not recognizing the 6732/6752 chipsets correct, so I guess the Geekbench app somehow doesn't show the correct info about the chipset. Because of course only the MT6752 has 8 cores.
[Device Reviews and Information] ron_hyatt:
is it normal for all batteries of this phone(including yours) to have the same serial number s/n:na1b105os/4-b-c63-b?!

[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Normally I would say a S/N should be unique, but regarding batteries or if it is important I have no idea.

I also see that some phones or devices are using universal S/N, meaning they have no real S/N, maybe because it is not that important?

IMEI Invalid

Hey Guys :)

So my Ecoo E04 is here, but serious problems making or receiving calls, get text sometimes, and can get online, but no calls

I tried using MTK Droid Tools to reinsert the IMEI numbers, but that option is grey (most likely not up to speed yet for 64bit)

Mobile Uncle wont support IMEI restore yet, I even created a Bak file but cant use it.

So if anyone has an idea on how to get the IMEI numbers back on this device please tell me :(

Typing *#06# shows both are invalid

Sim 1 shows radio OFF

sim 2 Shows radio ON

But cant make/receive calls in either Sim slot?

Thanks :)
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
From where did you buy it? what does the shop say? Maybe the shop can get some code where you then can input the IMEI numbers to the phone. Does your box show the IMEIs? or on the back behind the battery.
[Device Reviews and Information] percymama:
It was a gift, and I believe it came from E-Fox Shop EDIT -(it came from Pandawill)

The IMEI numbers are both under the battery, but when I checked them they both came back as belonging to an old Nokia :eek:

Tried using MTK Engineer app to put them back into the phone, but nothing changes from "Send Command"

MTK Droid Tools needs updating, as I would normally be able to use that (nice and easy) Mobile Uncle needs updating too :(

Not sure what else to try right now?

I found your backup Rom on needrom do you think flashing that with SPFT would help S7yler?
[Device Reviews and Information] vikman53:
like me, but i don't have problems for making or receiving calls.
[Device Reviews and Information] percymama:
Well I managed to get at least One of the IMEI Numbers back on the device :)

I used "MTK Engineer" app from the store as "Mobile Uncle" wont support IMIE restore yet

Same method but you have to input the number between the quotation marks and leave a space between AT+ so it would be AT + then the usual number and letters, but where the quotation marks are at the end, make a space between these, and input the IMEI number, press send command, reboot, and check *#06# and now I have One IMEI number back, I did try to use the same method to get the second number in there, but it just changed the Phone 1 number again? perhaps as I dont have a Sim in slot Two right now.

But at least its working again :)
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Great to hear! thanks for telling us how you did.

Hi,

I just found this phone, and it looks like it could be a good alternative to the Jiayu S3, if not better :D

It looks like they have both pretty much the same hardware and features - except that the Ecoo has a 16mp camera, and the S3 only has a 13mp camera.

Plus, the Ecoo has a fingerprint scanner (which the S3 doesn't have).

I took a look at this video, and it looks like the Ecoo has a better display with better colors:

[youtube]QSK3Spc_RmE[/youtube]

What I'm also interested in - how does the Ecoo compare to the Umi Zero?

So far, I've only found a Geekbench comparison:

http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/compare/1986989?baseline=1995618

Could you do a comparison between the two? Possibly even a video comparison?

What can you say about the cameras in the two phones?

Rooting ECOO E04 Aurora

Has anybody succesfully rooted this device yet?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
It comes pre-rooted from ECOO.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
The ECOO and UMI ZERO are 2 different phones, they have almost nothing in common. Hardware is different, materials are different, the size of the phone and display type is different. The ECOO is huge compared with the UMI ZERO, as it is just 5 inch and the ECOO is 5.5. Also the ECOO is made of all plastic, while the UMI ZERO is all metal and glass. Cameras are good on both, if you get a ZERO without camera problems, then the camera is a little bit better on the ZERO, but the camera on the ECOO is also very good in daylight. But all also depends on the eyes that look at it. The screen is better on the ZERO as it uses SuperAMOLED. And yes feature wise the ECOO has more to offer but is also thicker than the ZERO, which is pretty thin. But again, the ECOO has a better GPS and support for GLONASS, while the ZERO don't. So both have pros & cons.
[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:
The Ecoo makes good photo's but the 16MP is interpolated. It's very probably a 13.2MP. Sensor is finally know, it's a OV-something. The last firmware changelog gave it away.

I've had the UMI Zero from the very beginning and used it until firmware 3.06, after that I gave up and sold the phone to someone who was prepared to test and wait until the device became usable for daily life. The Ecoo does have an alloy body with plastics on the back. Front is glass mostly. UMI Zero does use Gorilla Glass 3 on the front and on the back but the glass on the back made it feel cheap. UMI Zero could have been a great phone but too much was wrong with it. And no notification-LED which I found out bothered me a lot every day.

Try another USB port dude, that may help, or reboot ur pc.

Use this SpFlashTool:

Hi Axelman, I have tried everything but to no avail. I downloaded all the versions of SP-Flash tool and nothing. Some of them would even give me an error message as soon as I pressed the Firmware/Upgrade or Download button. The ones that didn't just didn't move of 0%. I used the button above the scatterfile button and that didn't help. I really appreciate your help but as much as I want to update my phone it just doesn't look like anything will work. If there is another way please let me know but I am all out of ideas. This really is frustrating! I will just have to hope that they release the OTA update soon. Thanks again. Danny

Been eye-balling this phone and researching for 3 days. NOW this thread!!

First Off, I have been an HTC guy since WinMo 4.x

My HTC One got wet over a week ago and I thought I was saving for a new HTC M9 Dev Ed.

I have been buying from a few of the Chinese sites for awhile, got into Chinese TV Boxes and flashing those since I am familiar with the original XBMC...since the original XBox.

Until recently I never considered a Chinese Smart Phone. After researching the ECOO E04 PLUS the last few days I became a fan of the hardware. I researched root, Xposed, TWRP and ROMs. Now, this thread with stapo101 post about getting Sense to work, Axelman8 confirming, may just put this phone into the cart and make me finally divert from a Venom ROM?

Still a little on the fence...

[MENTION=6447046]stapo101[/MENTION] & Axelman8, If one of you guys have the time, and place in your heart, to upload a video of your ECOO E04 PLUS Xposed Sense Experience I couldn't possibly express my gratitude.

Edit: I am in US on AT&T - Straight Talk in Las Vegas. Is someone familiar what 4G (LTE?) speeds they would get with the given bands on these Chinese Smartphones? I have researched the bands, but I am interested in some real world experiences?

Seeing is believing

Hey dude,

As soon as i can, I will create a video for you, but this wont be possible this weekend.

For the custom rom, i read that it heats some and that happenen to me too with the first lollipop rom.

The trouble was that 3 cores stuck continuously on the 1,4GHz at some point and kept that level for a while (havent clocked it).

With this 30-4-2015 rom, one core keeps up [MENTION=923828]468[/MENTION]MHZ, what is the lowest value, so this origional rom works best for me.

Dont worry,

This Phone is a great Phone. Some people had some issues with IMEI, but i guess thats it about all bad i read about this Phone. I must say, the community on this chinese phones is growing and MTK becomes more and more realiable to flash without bricking the device. I used to have HTC Windows, Android, then got to Samsung and LG, even had a Sony for a short time, but these chinese crap phones are getting better and better. Value for money is right here and right now. I got really fed up with the locks Samsung and HTC were creating just to bother us not flashing these devices.

It is allright to try this Phone dude.

Regards,

Axelman
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
I agree. I have 2 mt6752 phones, this one and the iocean m6752 "Rock". I like them both. The iocean works straight out of the box and comes pre-rooted. There is also a TWRP recovery available for it. It doesn't need much work to get it how you like it. The ecoo on the other hand was a bit disappointing out of the box. My main complaints are that it was sold as an android 5.0 phone but it came only with KitKat and a crappy 5.0 beta on the official website that was nasty, and also that the headphone volume was really really quiet, even after setting it to max with the mtk engineering mode ( this was fixed eventually with viper4android which i cant recommend enough). However, there is something about this phone. It feels great and after a lot of wrangling to get the software how I want it runs very well. I think my love for it is partly due to the fact that we have had to struggle to get to where we are today - a bit like a rescue dog! ;)

I also came from a long line of HTC phones. I ran an HTC one x for a long time and then bought a used m8. As soon as I got hold of the e04 and the Rock I decided to sell the m8. I simply can't justify how overpriced it is. I'm afraid I don't have the means to make a video but the sense 7 blinkfeed experience is great and a couple of tweeks through xposed is the icing on the cake for me. Oh, and the fact that it takes my 128gb SD card with all my music on is fantastic too.

If you don't mind getting your hands a bit dirty to get it how you want it I can thoroughly recommend the e04.

[MENTION=6447046]stapo101[/MENTION]

LoL, I love the dog reference. I get it as well. With those Viper ROMs I was so spoiled and very little had to be done to get it just the way you wanted it. For the price you spend on the hardware, the amount of work still seems minimal. I only had to read 18 pages on this thread to know that issues can be resolved, and more importantly, Sense is possible. Hopefully the HTC Music Player. That post sold me as I can deal with stock Android, but 'No Sense is NonSense'

BTW, I just single fingered this post with a temporary iPhone I HAD to borrow. This is as bad as it gets.

I thank you both for your helpful posts and making me relive the long forgotten feeling of why we joined XDA so many years and devices ago.

Welcome [MENTION=5917082]SimoneGuarrera[/MENTION]

Thank you for sharing ur Rom and hooking up here in this thread.

Q: have you ever zipalligned and deodexed a MTK device android version? In the Samsung rom section these options are standard with ROM cooking, but sinds there is a allmost no cooking for this device, i could help you out with zipalign and deodexing. You have your ROM pre-rooted and a recovery as standard option... This is fantastic :thumbup: and a good start.

Using of Aroma installer could give options to let the user flash various, like HTC blinkfeed as home or whatever :D

Anyway, plenty of ideas. I am not in a situation right now that i have many time, but i can help out with new ideas and ROM building/creating.

Great to see a ROM cooker here @ the Ecoo E04 section. Maby many great thing could happen here :cool:

Hey Danny

Seems there is a problem with your ROMfile or your PC and the connection of your Phone.

With SpFlashTools you should be able to flash the rom as i stated in previous posts, but if this other tool gives errors too, there is something wrong M8

What about this: "use SpFlashTools"

1) ur phone connection: does the pc see your phone in devicemanager? If not, your usb driver fails and this is ur main problem dude

2) ur scatter file, does this give errors when you try to flash? If yes, see my previous post about the scatterfile

3) Try to flash the SpaceRom just for testing...maby your download of the official Lollipop has an error.

But if Spacerom flashes, your allready rooted and you have the custom recovery, wich saves you time dude, because a recovery and root would be your next step :D

Dont give up dude...THIS IS XDA

Trying to get it to work will help you the most to learn flashing your device.
