its just a wifi file with a mac address. if i do the same for the 2 ecoo e04 3gb i have, there will be a conflict when they will both try to connect to my router or any router they will try to connect to at the same time.

the same will happen for any 2 devices that have the same mac address and the try to connect to the same router. bare that in mind.

for the time being, changing the permissions of wifi file to r-- r--- i have managed for the nvram error to not appear anymore. i dont know if thats ok though to remain with these permissions, i havent got an answer on that. i will see how it goes.

but if i have to enter correct mac addresses, for one of them i will use the mac address of an older router i have that is not working any more, and for the second i will use the mac address of another useless router and thats it...problem solved with original mac addresses that i only know and that there wont be chance to have anyone else and cause conflict. :good:

Everything was checked and I am on lolipop from the factory. Would it be a bad sim card?
[Device Reviews and Information] guiguex:
Why Bell mobility (Virgin) does'nt use 4g LTE or band 7 (2600 MHz) ?

Hi r_pimpn,

I hypothesize that : in some regions of Canada, Bell mobility (Virgin) does'nt use quite the band 7 (2600 MHz), but ROGER yes :good:. For example, in the province of Quebec is ROGERS (Canadian operator) that specifically and totally uses 2600 Mhz spectrum; this in many areas. You could call a super Tech from Bell / Rogers to confirm that. Or / And , you could switch to ROGERS | full sitting on the band 7 (2600 Mhz).

Cordialy,

Hi, I'm having problems rooting my phone. I am using the 07/07 lollipop update from needrom. I follow all the instructions correctly but when I plug my phone in the progress bar doesn't appear. Any ideas why not?
[Device Reviews and Information] Zenuno:
Hi RMoham. Do you install the drivers for Windows? What Windows do you havê in your computer?

Short report on that 07/07/2015 Lollipop ROM: It has the formerly missing HotKnot installed, but instable Wifi (looses connection once per minute) and the camera focus issue returned. Was quite a waste of time, returned to the rock solid 10/04/2015 Kitkat ROM.
[Device Reviews and Information] Valter84:
Strange, I have 07/07/2015 version and I don`t have any wifi problems.

About camera, I don`t use the stock camera app, but I can`t find any problem with Camera MX.
[Device Reviews and Information] RMoham:
What would you say is the most stable Lollipop rom?
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
the 2805 (28 may ) build i would say is the most rock solid one
[Device Reviews and Information] koepi:
Agreed with rockstm - 28/05-Lollipop is stable, but no matter what I try, the camera has a "stuck in macro mode" bug in Lollipop for me. I tried the suggested CameraMX and others. It's only working correctly in Kitkat for me. To be honest, no big issue: The 10/04 Kitkat ROM is rock solid, has every feature I want and need, good battery runtime, ... So it's just the emotional part to think the operating system should be 64bit when the processor supports it. :D
[Device Reviews and Information] RMoham:
Can anyone help me? I need to know why the progress bar on SP Flash Tools doesn't show up. Also, I need to know what drivers I need for Windows 8.1
[Device Reviews and Information] r_pimpn:
I thought I had bricked my phone on flashing two nights ago, but after hours I finally had success by hitting download, pushing and holding power, vol up and down, then install battery, and keep holding the buttons until complete.
[Device Reviews and Information] RMoham:
Did you install any drivers?
[Device Reviews and Information] r_pimpn:
Yes, I had the pda net, and the mtk all in one drivers in stalled.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alxnks:
In this ROM HotKnot function is missing!
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
yes, in the lollipop the hotknot function is missing, we do not know exactly why but it returns in the 7/7 rom, but to be safe dont flash it yet, there are some bugs in it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alxnks:
I'm not flashing any lollipop at the moment. I preferred the 10-04 KitKat for both phones.

I just commented that you said the best lollipop is the 28-05. For me it can't be considered as best, since a function is missing.
[Device Reviews and Information] koepi:
Alxnks: You need to read the question which is answered correctly. It was "Which is the most stable Lollipop ROM up to date". So the answer is correct. Your answer would fit a different question, though. But that question wasn't asked.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alxnks:
koepi: I can make a rock stable lollipop ROM, but you will only be making calls with it, all other functions will be missing. Would you install it?

You see where I am going with it?
[Device Reviews and Information] koepi:
Alxnks: If you read my earlier posts you will see that I totally agree - and handle it myself this way. But the question wasn't "is the Lollipop ROM stable, feature complete und mostly bug-free?". So your point is: From the available Lollipop ROMS, the 28/05 is most stable, but has bugs and misses features; the user is better off with the 10/04 Kitkat ROM as it works correctly. This has been written and documented on the last two pages of this thread already. If that doesn't matter to you and you eagerly want or need a Lollipop ROM, use the 28/05 version as the 07/07 has more bugs and is less stable. That is the point I see in the question that has been asked :D
[Device Reviews and Information] kardozo:
As I see many people having struggle to install a custom recovery and root the Ecoo E04, I will leave here, what I did , without the SP flash tool program that soft bricked my phone in the process. :mad:

This method is the currently used in other phones, as they have qualcomm and intel SoC it's pretty easy, but for mediateks was not. Now it's also possible to use the flashboot / bootloader commands :)

I used this on my Ecoo E04 Aurora Plus (3GB RAM) with lollipop 5.0 (20150528) that I bought on 13th July. It worked 100 %

Install TWRP and root:

1 - Install the ADB drivers and Android SDK. Here and here. (I didn't install these, because I already had the ADB drivers and the SDK on my computer for ages, but I did a quick search and you can install with this links, if you have any problem just google something like install adb drivers , install android sdk ;))

2 - Now download your custom recovery. (I used this one, since it was very recent). Now copy the recover.img (just the .img file) to the path where the adb.exe is (you will see later on why). My path was (C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk\platform-tools ).

3- Iif you want to root the device, copy to the sd card the SuperSU zip. last version here.

4 - Now in the phone go to Developer options and activate the USB debugging. If anything pop up in the phone just click OK.

5 - Now connect your device to the computer.

6 - Most important you have to make sure that the phone appears on ADB devices. For that you go to were you installed your android SDK,and search where the adb.exe is, in my case the path is C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk\platform-tools and here on a blank space in the folder you press SHIFT+ RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON and press Open Command window here. Next, write adb devices and if everything is OK you should see a number/alphanumeric and "device" next to it.

With this we can assure that everything is connected and working as it should, don't advance if your adb command is not showing this.

7 - In a new line, type adb reboot bootloader

8 - Now your phone will reboot and wait for more commands. Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

9 - Type adb reboot recovery and done . If by any case your phone don't reboot in recovery, it's very easy: you turn your phone totally off and start pressing first volume UP button [hold] and then power button [hold] and wait until it shows the options.

10 - Now in the recovery it's pretty easy, you just go to install and swipe to install the SuperSU zip that should be in the sd card. If appears something about TWRP needs the partition, or something like that, swipe right and authorize, it won't delete any of your files, and keeps the recovery persistent on the phone to install future roms.

11- Your phone is rooted, and to confirm that you should have a new app in the application list called SuperSU and as [MENTION=6606271]rockstm[/MENTION] said you could download on the playstore an app called Root checker, to see if the root is really succesful.

;)
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
im sorry to say this but an easier and much noob friendly method has already been posted a couple of times which is "unofficially" "certified to work" with mediatek devices. you dont have to do anything with commands or boot loaders or anything like that, just 3-7 clicks with your mouse and you are done. Sp flash tools is the easiest way to it if you just read the instruction carefully and do it without skipping a single step. what most people do is skip a step like install the drivers or some important ones which in the end could result in your device being bricked whether soft or hard. And in that method only 1 driver has to be installed and no other software need to be installed. In this way you get to save time and space. and if you have made a mistake it is easy to find out if there is, the phone wont get detected by the spft so most probably nothing will happen to the phone. you dont have to go to command prompt in order to see if the phone is connected properly. If you want to have a look you can see in post #162, post #318, and post #814.

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

dont take this in a bad way, im not saying that your method is wrong or anything, but as far as i have seen, almost everyone says that sp flash tools is the easiest way to flash your phone if you do it right and stick to the instructions. Your method may also be right but it is not very noob friendly as it needs the use of command prompt and adb and stuff which newcomers may not be familiar with. sorry if i am being rude but im not trying to offend you in any way.

and another thing is the last point you wrote in your tutorial has a mistake. If supersu is installed does not mean that it is succesfully rooted. sometimes rooting fails as well but in the process of rooting it is a step to install a superuser app. That means the phone does not get rooted but u have a superuser app installed which wont work because you dont have root. So some people may get confused if their rooting fails and they have the supersu installed and they dont get root access. instead you should say: "Get root checker app from play store and check if it has been rooted. The app is free and does not harm your phone.". this is what you should have said. you can edit the post if you want and put this in it.
[Device Reviews and Information] kardozo:
Yes you are right [MENTION=6606271]rockstm[/MENTION], maybe the method I used is a little more complicated, but as I said, I experienced a soft brick, and every video or tutorial I saw, the the all deal of take off and on the battery always confused me, or maybe I didn't get the the mediatek drivers right the all time (because of windows 8.1 ). And this method skips all that problems that I had, and it's not that time consuming, since it's only needed to enter 4 lines in cmd (the previous step is just basically preparation for that 4 lines).

Either way, I showed another way of installing a custom recovery and rooting, for people who had previous problems. And one more way, it's one more way.

Thanks for the feedback :)
[Device Reviews and Information] HypoTurtle:
Yea I prefer fastboot for just boot/recovery over SPFlash and it works on Windows and Linux. I think you have #9 wrong though you shouldn't be able to use adb while in bootloader to reboot to recovery you would need to: fastboot reboot && adb wait-for-device reboot recovery.
[Device Reviews and Information] Valter84:
New official version available @ needrom 16/07.

I am on 07/07 and I am happy with it but I will give it a try to the new version.

Any one already tried?

[Device Reviews and Information] southsider2009:
Damn! this device is making me hate mediatek
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
Why?
[Device Reviews and Information] southsider2009:
The ways you guys strives to get your device updated. The ways buggy roms are being released. Is all the fault of Mediatek.
[Device Reviews and Information] lildwell:
At least Ecoo are coming with updates. Other Chinese manufacturers used to just leave you hanging.
[Device Reviews and Information] Valter84:
I didn`t try it. Instead I have installed again 4.4 version because it`s more stable and the battery last longer. :)

When Ecoo release 5.1 I will try it again.
[Device Reviews and Information] Freekers1337:
Sadly it is gone, the uploader deleted it :( Do you still have a copy for me?

Hi guys, how is your battery going, i'm still on the build 20150528, and i cant complain, i'm having 4h SOT in average, with all the usual tweaks (servicely, amplify, underclock to 1.3Ghz, L Speed Revo) and location is ON.

[Device Reviews and Information] elreyverde:
I've just bought it. It comes with lollipop 5/28. What should I do? Keep it or flash spacerom/new rom? What are the bugs of the last spacerom(ive read something about video recording not posible) Any thoughts about 7/16 that was deleted?
[Device Reviews and Information] VinayakS:
I will suggest use it as it is for few days, see what you like and dislike about it and then decide.
[Device Reviews and Information] elreyverde:
It does get hot even just using the camera, but appart of it is brand new so no problem so far...prob i can add the features of spacerom as root and decrease CPU. Maybe better just wait till new official version arise?
[Device Reviews and Information] Valter84:
The best rom available is the latest kit kat rom.

After you just need to do the usual things, install twrp, root, 3c toolbox to decrease cpu max (I am using 1.17ghz), xposed, amplify, greenify, viper4android, lspeed mod.

I can tell you that I am getting 6h screen time, 2 days of battery life.

Really happy with the result.

All the 5.0 roms available, the memory management is worst and the phone gets hotter. Also the baterry life is worst.

Waiting for a 5.1 rom to try it again.

[Device Reviews and Information] jwinckelmann:
This location posted on Ecoos Facebook page contains a lot of official ROMs:

https://yadi.sk/d/cPNHWcPHgG9ex

My experience was, that all ROMs with A1 in the name are for the 2GB version, A2 for 3GB. But there is only A1 here, except for the CM12.1 ROMs which are labeled 3GB. So do we have this first official LP ROMs for the 2 GB version here?

I own the 2GB version and already tried Spacerom 2GB and also some of the 3GB LP versions flashed without the preloader. They generally worked quite ok but after some time the switched of device always was completely dead with empty battery and did not charge anymore. Flashing back the KK ROM re-enabled charging and this does not happen anymore. Really annoying...

Now I have a unique problem. My phone goes off from sleep mode. At least 4 times per day. I have no clue on the cause. I have not seen it trip off. When I decide to check for notification, then I realised that it is off. Any person who experience this?
[Device Reviews and Information] Freekers1337:
Thank you very much for the link!! I have downloaded the files and flashed the ROM, so far so good. I will rehost it on my server, as yandi.sk is very slow and hard to download all files at once; Download as archive does not work for me (download never ends)

ROM naming convention is as follows:

- DD/MM/YY = Releasedate

- C63G / MV1624 = 3Gb

- C63D / MV1616 = 2Gb

- KK- KitKat 4.4.4

- L - Lolipop 5.0

I will download all roms and rehost them on my server.

Some questions

Hello,

I recently got an Ecoo E04 Plus and have some questions:

1. It shows that I have a KitKat Rom build on 10-04-2015. Is this the newest KitKat Rom?

2. The Proximity sensor always shows 1cm and never goes to zero! Is it possible, to fix it and where is it located on the phone?

3. The CPU frequency shown is higher, than the limit:

dl.zuim.de/hidden/cpu-z.png

dl.zuim.de/hidden/Device-info.png

Is this normal or some type of bug?

Thanks for your help in advance!
[Device Reviews and Information] koepi:
1) Yes.

2) The location is one of the two black spots next to the speaker/camera. Don't take the results of CPU-Z too seriously. The sensor works correctly when the phone is in use.

3) This is normal.

[Device Reviews and Information] craftandbuild:
Thanks for you help it's very relieving to know that these are normal, but for 2. the sensor does not seem to work in apps like whatsapp or the phone app too. I also tested some sensor toolkits from the playstore and calibrating the sensor serveral times in the display settings, but it shows always 1cm as distance.

Do you have any other ideas to fix it or do you think it's broken?

I just tried to limit the cpu frequency to 1170 MHz with "Device Control", but it still has higher frequency up to 1859Mhz. Is there an other way to limit the frequency?
[Device Reviews and Information] Valter84:
To limit the frequency you need to have root, super user instaled through TWRP, and busybox.

After you should use 3C toolbox. It works like a charm.

Search for 3c toolbox in this thread and you will find how to use it.

Good luck!
[Device Reviews and Information] craftandbuild:
Thanks, I just tried it with 3c Toolbox in combination with the tool from #723 and it works!

Lollipop battery problems

Pardon me my ignorance but I've still got the Android 5.0_20150528 and if I find it overall brillant, the battery only lasts for 6 hours . That is very annoying

1/is it just because of the llolilop issues or is it my phone (maybe the battery)which has problems?

2/if I upgrade to the 20150716.zip you posted earlier should it clear the issues?

Thank you for your patience
[Device Reviews and Information] Valter84:
All the lollipop versions have higher battery consumption.

I went back to kit kat because of that.

Good luck.

H there. I found out about this thread and is using the phone for about a week. The phone has 5.0_20150528. I know lollipop has battery issues but for the time being I'll keep using it a bit more. I tried 3c tools but lmiting cpu speed doesnt work I think because even if I make 1.17 highest cpu still goes to 1.62 from time to time. Does it really work ?
[Device Reviews and Information] lildwell:
It works if you are rooted and have init.d enabled.

I've been given a firmware Android 5.0_20150601 from geekbuying in the hope that can fix the battery issues. I followed the process to flash the rom after innstalling the drivers using flashtool but nothing is hapening. I connected my phone without the battery to my laptop (window 7) and click on upgrade firmware and nothing.

Do I need to root my phone first?

Can Please someone direct me to a thread or even help with how to do it?

I look forward to hearing from you because my battery only lasts 5 hours with android 5 lollipop.

In this thread there are discussions about batteryperformance tweaking wich i woild suggest to you.

1) Lspeed mod: this is seriously a benefit for your device

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3020138

2) tune down your max cpu core speed.

My speed is now 9600MHz and it is absolutely fab for battery usage. Dont see any big diffrence between speed @ 1700MHz or 9600 MHz

Find the posts that have good explaination in how to do this properly in this threat, follow them step by step and you will have a great phone/Phablet
