Just root it with iRoot in 20 seconds, after that replace the chinese SuperSU with the normal SuperSU from the Play Store.

See in this video here how to root KitKat, from time 4:44 in the video (must be seen on a PC, not mobile device)

There will only be CyanogenMod if someone makes it for the phone, so far I haven't heard or seen any working on a port for the phone.

Put Bounty On Device?

Does anyone know of any websites that I can use to place a "bounty" on a device? I'd like a 5.0 ROM, and I'd be willing to put money into a pot that is awarded to the first person to complete this task. Does XDA support this?

hello! whether on this phone to upgrade to Android 5.0?
[Device Reviews and Information] whannel:
No Android 5 update from the manufacturers yet, have had one OTA update from THL but not sure what it did. Does anyone know why some apps find this phone as rooted even without rooting it? I'm trying to get SkyGo to work (they are strict for DRM tv viewing) and also Trustable by Bluebox lists it as rooted out of the box - with some issues that THL should probably be working on too. Is there any way using it rooted to remove all the files that makes these apps think it is rooted then use the unroot option so aps like SkyGo would then work?

Also noticed Recovery TWRP over on needrom if this is any better than iRoot method?

I bought the Thl 2015 a month ago, my personal opinion: battery drains quickly, camera horrible !!! (phones more poor make better pictures)

excellent CPU 64-bit but useless with Android 4.4.4 32-bit

audio is typically low in this phone ! (the Thl 5000 is much more powerful than Thl 2015)

also my W8 has better audio !!

the phone has an LED notification that it is useless !!! only red !!

my THL W8 has notification LED red / green

the Thl 2015 consumes a lot of RAM !!!

problems with light sensor !

in my country use Vodafone sim card

the phone locks the line well but sometimes

I see disappear reception (I think poor antenna)

my W8 has better reception !!

the GPS instead is better in Thl 2015

never buy more phones Thl, customer service never answers

my emails !!

I do not recommend buying the Thl 2015, with this price you can buy

best Chinese phones

screen issue/ hard reset?

Hi

My thl2015 has an issue with the screen. When you touch the top edge of the screen the notifications tab comes down. This interferes with many apps i.e. when you go to touch something on the app the notifications tab comes down and wont let you touch the app. This can be overcome for some by tilting phone horizontally so that the app button is not on the top edge anymore but some apps dont flip when you tilt the phone. Its very annoying. How can you make it back to original i.e. the tab only comes down after a downward swipe action from top with finger and not just when you touch top edge???? Do I need to do a factory reset?

Hi,

I have this phone for one year and i never had problems. battery: i have changed two batteries but after, when i changed the battery charged, i have resolved this problem.

I rooted this phone one year ago with kingroot and i installed twrp 2.8.6.0 with rashr. After i removed root and i installed supersu by recovery. But i had a problem; it was with xposed framework (yes, it work with all modules): if I turn off my phone when I have Xposed it vibrates constantly and the phone don't shutdown! you know how I can fix this bug?
[Device Reviews and Information] bryangb:
My new ThL 2015 is rooted and seems to be running OK, except for two things.

First, no custom recovery (yet). I found the one on Needrom but can't get it installed - the Flash Tool won't even kick off the download process, and the alternative route via MobileUncle doesn't flash it either.

Second, the Xposed framework reports that "installing Xposed might not work or lead to severe problems" because it uses a Chinese fork of Android called Aliyun OS. This is worrying because I ant to run GravityBox!

(Actually there's a third, which is that something's causing boot lockups, and at the moment the most likely culprit looks to be the latest version of Solo Launcher. Weird. )

Has anyone here managed to get TWRP/CWM onto a 2015, and if so how? And what about Xposed/GravityBox - is anyone here running it successfully?
[Device Reviews and Information] GuiltyGod:
Xposed is working (I am using a few modules already, someone said gravitybox is working but not all functions can be used - I can confirm that one)

How to flash THL 2015 with SP Flash Tool

thl.2015.167B.1478ZF.A1.150327.LWT_KK.FHD.WB128_FB13720.EN.MV1616 – KTU84P – V1_CSFB is the latest.

Below there is the manual from the thread about thl 2015 on 4pda.ru. Say thanks to vladlen8, I'm just a guy who translated his manual into the English language.

How to flash THL 2015 with SP Flash Tool.

It is strictly recommended to make a Backup of firmware with TWRP (especially of NVRAM) before you start to follow these instructions.

1. Download and install drivers for flashing (for the final installation of drivers you may need to connect the phone to PC). Reset PC after the divers are installed, then connect

switched ON

phone to PC and wait until the drivers are finally installed. Then switch off phone (just in case of pull out and install battery to its place), connect

switched OFF

phone to PC - the flashing driver will be installed (also called Preloader). In my case there was installation of some Bluetooth drivers, but unsuccesfully, which didn't affect flashing process.

2. Download and unzip program SP Flash Tool.

3. Download firmware (which you need) and unzip it. There must be no any russian, chinese or other non-latin symbols!

4. The battery in the phone must be charged above 50%.

5. Launch flash_tool.exe, press Scatter-loading button and choose MT6752_Android_scatter.txt from the firmware folder.

Image 1 and 2.

If you get Error 8417 while opening scatter-file,

Image 3, open this scatter-file in the text editor (it is desirable in Notepad++) and delete the first line "BIRDTOOLMINVER[3.8]", then save changes and open the scatter-file again in SP Flash Tool.

Image 4.

6. In SP Flash Tool window you'll see sections, which will be flashed. All sections must be marked (check all checkboxes).

Image 5.

7. Then, from the list of activities, choose

Firmware Upgrade.

Image 6 and 7.

8.

Switch OFF

the phone, pull out and install battery to its place.

9. Press

Download

button in the upper left corner of SP Flash Tool window.

Image 8.

10.Only after that action you can connect

switched OFF

phone to PC.

11.If everything is done correctly, you'll see coloured stripes of flashing process and after several minutes there will be a pop-up window with a green circle, which means successful flashing.

Image 9.

12.Unplug the phone from PC, turn it on and wait until Android boots.

I don't know how to place images into spoiler, need help.

How to restore IMEI

Which files are you talking about? I'll try to help. There is no sync button in the status bar in the stock ROM. You can turn on/off sync on Settings->Accounts (then press e.g. Google).

---------- Post added at 20:54 ---------- Previous post was at 20:52 ----------

Below there is the manual from the thread about thl 2015 on 4pda.ru. Say thanks to bmw-mtv, I'm just a guy who translated his manual into the English language.

I've recorded a small video on how to restore erased IMEI, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi addresses.

You will need: SN Write tool v. 2.1504.00, SP Drivers v. 2.0 and original firmware (because it contains calibration bases for restoring of nvram).

Restoring process on the video goes with pre-installed drivers, but it is not so hard to install them.

Short manual.

Set up the program as it is shown in the video, take the phone, pull out the battery for 5-10 sec., install the battery to its place and connect the phone via USB, the program will launch the phone into the suitable mode and will write everything it needs.
[Device Reviews and Information] Cluster20:

:crying: I got mine a few days back, but each time I connect the charger to charge my device, it freezes or sometimes restarts... I also noticed, no matter how long I leave it to charge, the battery is stuck at 87% ... Is this a factory defect ? or do you think the battery is bad ?... Please help me
[Device Reviews and Information] sergsinger:
Do you use an original charger? I haven't got this problem.

May be. I read the post where a user said that the battery died after several weeks of usage. So, may be it is a factory defect. My tip: flash your phone to the last firmware and look at the behavior of the battery. If the problem repeats, there are more chances that the battery is bad.

What do you mean by "a bad picture + camera quality"? The camera is good, but it is hard to take a good photo :( Have you tried Settings of the Camera? I didn't turn them to highest Mpx's because it is doesn't affect the quality. Firmware 150327 doesn't solve this problem.

As the camera is being discussed, good time to ask.......how good is the camera?! It looked poor in the mobileos Italian review against the Samsung S6, which I know has an excellent camera.

buy S6.

Camera of thl 2015 is good for its price.
[Device Reviews and Information] Gobsheen:
No, not kidding, man! I know how much the s6 is and the THL is reasonably comparable in a lot of ways. Guess that's why they reviewed them together.

I'm trying to understand how good the camera is as that's important to me. Does 'good for the price' mean the camera is pretty cheap? I'm not expecting s6 quality but want to find out how far off the THL is.
