Hi.

Does anyonw know or tried if this phone work on three UK network? Just received the phone and inserted my sim card but the phone doesn't recognise the sim. (it says sim empty.)
[Oukitel (All phone models)] carolinakidd:
Make sure that your sim is secure in the slot and the phone is off when installing the sim
[Oukitel (All phone models)] maokun:
Thank you for that.

It was my Sim adapter. I changed it and it works fine now.

Just noticed that the WiFi signal is unbelievably weak.

I'm 1m away from my router and the signal is only fair. Just half of icon.

If I go upstairs , no signal where my other phones have almost full signal.

does anyone have the same problem?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] carolinakidd:
Yes its a common problem the WiFi antenna is weak on this phone :(
[Oukitel (All phone models)] templarje:
Bout Wi-fi: Actually, I am having no troubles at all. Well sure, where i had 5 bars, i have probably 4 but i have not yet encountered situation, in which i would not be able to connect in a place, where i was able to connect with old phone.

btw: About the touch ID problem i mentioned few posts earlier: it was actually problem of me, not the sensor. When entering my finger prints, i really just tapped like it said. Now, when I really pressed my finger to the sensor and let it there for a few seconds, i am having no troubles at all and about 60-80% accuracy. Just a matter of practice really.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] carolinakidd:
Yea mine was connecting but where I had 5bars, in my room across from the router, with my other phones with my oukitel it only had 3 if I was lucky....my experience might be different since I'm in the States..

Hello all,

ive read a view reviews that there are problems with GPS, seems its not working that accurate. Are these problems fixed or are they still alive? Its very important for me that GPS is working fast and exact.

Hello Everyone

I have just ordered mine today (via Ebay, so probably got mugged). I should have it middle of next week.

I will let you know how I get on I am specifically looking to put in two different UK Vodaone Sim cards (one work, one personal) and see how it behaves. Trouble is niether are 4G but I will be happy with work on 3G and personal on 2G.

I am a bit concerned about the GPS and the WifI issues as if I am not using one I will be using the other!! We shall see....
[Oukitel (All phone models)] templarje:
Well as I've stated, I have no Wi-fi issues at all. About GPS: First, I was not able to get a fix at all. Then, I downloaded some random "GPS fix" app, and with that, I was able to get fix in less than 5 minutes. From this point my GPS works better than it used on my Lg L9 II, at least from what I can tell by gps test.

Both sim slots support 4G, I have tried this because i had to move my sim from main slot to slot #2 since i wanted to put SD card in.

Btw: Be careful about Your glass camera cover. I broke mine really easily and I regret it hard. Will have to send it to China :/
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Ritto01:
Received this phone, loving so far , good battery and screen, just a bit heavy but I can live with that.

At first I really got a low Wi-Fi signal, but now it's good, I inserted Sim card and microsd and I don't know why but boosted my Wi-Fi signal, maybe acting like antenna . Really happy now... Just miss notification light.

4g working good on both cards.

Well I have had mine just over a week now and I am having major GPS problems (in the UK, if thats relevant). When I use Google maps it gets a quick lock as to where I am (TTFF) but it is in a light blue cirlce indicating inaccuracy. When I use an app like "GPS test" (others are available) again it gets a quick fix but the accuracy is very eratic. It locks onto upto (only) 4 satellites (my Note 3 sees 8 without a SIM card) but seems to keep dropping them and accuracy goes from as low as 18ft out to nearly hundred feet. The satelittle colours never go green, yellow at best where the Samsung has 3-4 green ones. The same when I am driving using Waze or Google maps its ok for a while then suddenly I am two streets away traveling at 90 degrees to where I am. I have had a Google around and tried the MTX engineering scereens but not really sure what I am looking at and most of the (chinese) sites refere to EPO but I dont have that option.

[MENTION=2451058]templarje[/MENTION] - I tried a GPS fix app (not sure it was the right one, can you specify the developers? I used AndroidLabs) which seemed to make a very small difference. Are you suggesting it should be running in the backround at the same time as the Sat Nav?

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know, its driving me (no pun intended) potty!

Many thanks in anticipation.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] templarje:
The app i have used is this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidlab.gpsfix

I just downloaded it, ran it in background and putted my phone outside of window. When it got fix, i have uninstalled this app.

I live in Czech Republic, and I usually have 4-6 satellites, all bars yellow/green. accuracy around 30-40 feet.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I am not a driver, so for my purposes, gps working like this is enough.

These are my GPS test stats after having phone for 2 minutes behind window:

[IMG="GPS test stats"]http://i.imgur.com/Gs4iBds.png[/IMG]

If it really bothers You, I would try googling this particular MTK chipset. It is used in many phones on the market right now, so I believe there should be some kind of universal fix, like there used to be to all previous MTK chipsets.

Hello Everyone,

Is there a solution to root the phone after OTA Update ? I have tried some Apps and tools but no luck ...
[Oukitel (All phone models)] qasimala:
I tried Kingo and it didn't work. So I sent them an email and they should get back to me when its supported.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kev_owl:
UPDATE: The kind people at MobilesKingdom on Ebay have replaced my handest with a new one. I have given the GPS a quick test at lunchtime and it seems to be better. I am still not 100% but its probably still syncing maps and voices and the like. I will upadte later this week! Watch this space!
[Oukitel (All phone models)] bu2zY:
Got mine two months ago now and it works very fine except some features :

There's an overheating problem when you're playing some big games (hopefully my wife isnt a gamer ;)) .

WIFI signal is very poor even when you're closer of your access point (less than 2 meters).

The fingerprint sensor isn't reliable.Severals tries are necessary to unlock the phone.

All those points are true even after the last rom update.

However it's a very good phone at this price. :good::good:

For french users who will wish to buy this phone, i tested it with Free Mobile , Orange and Virgin Mobile carriers and i have always had 4G except with FREE (3g and poor signal, no doubt Free Mobile block this phone because they dont know it). :(

[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
The same here.

I have unlook the Bootloader with ADB and flash a CWM from Elephon p8000 but no luck
[Oukitel (All phone models)] pratikmore:
You have to make custom recovery and then you can easily root it.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
Yes, i know but there is nothing from CWM or TRWP for this Device

. Could some one build a costom recovery for us ? This great budget mobile is worth it.:good:
[Oukitel (All phone models)] pratikmore:
ask ghost45 or hanuma50...he will help you to make recovery for your phone.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ghost45:
Hi I have made one version of my Cwm modded ported from my Great Friend Carliv!

Tell me if the recovery will have some problem.

Kadett will give the link to everyone...

Here is cwm mod recovery:D

flash it with adb than wipe cache and install chainfires SuperSU. zip

done.

[Oukitel (All phone models)] mightymaki:
After months of trying to root this phone after the last update, thanks to kadett, installing the cwm worked! However to work successfully, one must first unlock the bootloader then install via adb or fastboot method. Don't forget to wipe the cache
[Oukitel (All phone models)] qasimala:
Can we have a quick how to for this? Thanks so much.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
I can not install the FOTA from 25.9.15. via cwm. I try it compresed and unzip but dont work. I get error massages Status 7 from cwm. Did you unroot before install the update ? I dont want install stock recovery to make the update.

I only request the CWM mod from ghost45. He is the man :)

I was only the tester.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] mightymaki:
I was able to install via cwm without a problem. I tried via FOTA & it didn't install of course so I thought to give the cwm a try. I found the update zip package & then installed via cwm without unpacking. Not sure why you can't? Is everything unlocked? How did you install cwm - adb or fastboot? That might make a difference though I'm not an expert, just guessing
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
Hello mightymaki,

do you still have the update.zip and could you upload it for us maybe it is diffrent ? My file is 50,80 Mb size.

I think i flashed cwm with fastboot. Bootloader is open and SuperSu 2.46 installed.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] mightymaki:
That is the same size. The zip is what was downloaded via FOTA so it should be the same. Again, not sure why you're unable to upgrade?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
It is a mystery...:confused:

Can you say something about update, has it noticeably changes ?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] mightymaki:
Nothing really noticeable to be honest. Seems a little faster & the camera & music apps are better.

I've been thinking...which rom are you using? I installed the custom update on Needrom & then the fastboot root as described above, this may be the difference?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
I have Stock Rom updatet than cwm and root think that is the diffence . What is this custom update ? Rom with update installed ?

Thank you for your feedback. I will update when Marshmellow comes via FOTA .:laugh:
[Oukitel (All phone models)] mightymaki:
Have a look on Needrom. There is a slightly modded stock rom. Not rooted or anything, just tweaked a little. This is what I installed prior to rooting & installing CWM.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] gibs:
Ok it worked for me. Thanks for the procedure.

Also Thanks Kadett + Ghost45

I have some questions:

1/ How have you installed OUKITEL_UniverseTap_FZ_V4.0_20150702_release.zip prior to CWM ? With the oukitel flash tool ?

2/ Is there a way to have only 1 partition ? A friend of mine has purchased a U8 that only have 1 partition.

3/ Any Marshmallow rom compatible yet ? :D
[Oukitel (All phone models)] mightymaki:
Glad to help. In answer to your questions

1. yes

2. I have no idea sorry, I'm not that knowledgeable

3. Haven't seen anything as yet & not sure what Oukitel will do as this phone has been superseded already.

Installed FOTA zip via cwm without a problem. System is faster & optimized. It did wipe the cwm recovery though so I just flashed it again with Rashr
[Oukitel (All phone models)] swaglordk:
Is this supported in the US?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] gibs:
Where is the FOTA zip is downloaded ? I can't find it.

Thanks
[Oukitel (All phone models)] mightymaki:
I have a folder called "adupsfota" & the update zip is within that.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] gibs:
When I launch the Update app for the 1st time after a factory reset, it download the update but then I get a message saying "Your system has been damaged, update OTA deactivated".

Then I can't find any update zip file anywhere

I have the adupsfota folder in the root of my SD but it's empty

I have also one in /system/app/AdupsFota but there's only the apk

And now if I launch the Update app, get directly get the message saying "Your system has been damaged, update OTA deactivated" without downloading anything.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] mightymaki:
Strange.....I'm not sure why I can do this but no one else seems to be able to? As I mentioned before, I installed the 2015/07/02 upgrade from Needrom via SP tool, unlocked everything as I described & can download the FOTA upgrades & install via cwm. If I try to use the system updater, I get the error message. I did the whole process again a few days ago to see if I had done anything or missed anything in my description, but all is as before.

This is the problem with the original rom, i.e. once rooted it wouldn't upgrade so I am surprised that I can get the updates & install them with cwm? Sorry that I can't be of anymore help as I'm not an expert, just someone who likes to play around with my phones.

I've uploaded the zip to Mega. try downloading & flashing with cwm. I do the usual - flash, wipe both cache & dalvik & reboot. It should still be rooted but you will have to then re-flash the recovery with Rashr or Flashify.https://mega.nz/#!Jxw1wJpQ!7PkIxqF_pHUopMo1tTe8N32E2lvizTDdtaDu5RYFjEI

See how you go!!
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
I have try your update file but no luck. My FOTA was 52,xx Mb yours is smaller, but i cant install it too.

It looks like you are the only lucky guy who can install updates.;)
[Oukitel (All phone models)] mightymaki:
Yep, still a mystery........Somewhere along the line I have accidentally changed something & have no idea how or what that was!
[Oukitel (All phone models)] gibs:
Here is what I know about this phone (Oukitel U8):

I have ordered mine 20 days before its release.

It has 2 partitions 4GB/8GB

A friend of mine has recently (1 month) purchased one.

On the back there is an inscription "With TOMTOP"

It has a partition of 12GB.

Both phone have a different name for the LAST version of the Firmware (Different version & different date) Which is confusing.

Look at my interaction with Kadett on this thread (#58 #59): http://xdaforums.com/general/general/oukitel-u8-universe-tap-touch-id-t3123213/page6

The extracted MightyMiki update, doesn't work on my device too.

From CWM:

"Verifying current system...

/system/app/AdupsFota/arm/AdupsFota.odex has unexpected contents.

E: Error in /external_sd/adupsfota/update13.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted."

[MENTION=380831]kadett[/MENTION] can you upload the latest FOTA please ?

Actually I'm running the : OUKITEL_UniverseTap_V11.0_20150703.

Another thing : When I have received the phone there was an issue (a halo all around the screen when I was using it) after an update, this issue has disappeared. Also, the CPU max clock is 988MHz and not 1.3Ghz (like it's written on the specs of the phone).

Edit: From what I found here (by searching my error message above), we need to update with the SP Tool first.

http://www.chinamobiles.org/threads...h-id-android-5-1-mtk6735p-s7yler.45202/page-7
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
I have 12GB.

I have exactly the same error on cwm.

Hello, you can get self easy the update file.

1. go to the menu Apps than all Apps, Fota App.

2. delite Data from Fota App.

3. Now you can go in the app and download update.

4. push the button later update etc.

5. search with filemanager like Es Data Explorer in device storage not Sd0 or Sd1 (stock filemanager cant go in root of device)

6. now you can copy the file with Es Data Explorer to your sd card or internal sd.

About 1.3 Ghz...

So far i know the manufactor has changed the specs. of the phone befor delivery. nobody has 1.3 Ghz all have 1.0
[Oukitel (All phone models)] gibs:
I did exactly what you said.

(My mistake was that I wasn't reporting the update to be able to keep the update.zip)

Anyway the update from CWM doesn't works for me.

-- Installing: /external_sd/adupsfota/update.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

Edit :

So, I have reflashed my U8 with the rom found on needrom.

Now I have the FZ version (same as Kadett) and one 12 GB partition.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
Hi, sorry for my stupid question but have you now FOTA update done and has the FZ version changed ?

What version do you have now ?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] gibs:
Now I have the build : OUKITEL_UniverseTap_FZ_V6.0_20150721

After reflashing the ROM, While I was not ROOT & CWM I did one FOTA update (the 20150721) to try the october's one with the CWM.

But from CWM it doesn't work. So I'm stuck, I should have done all updates before the CWM.

Also I lost my IMEI during the reflash process. I put them back with the MTK Engineer mode but I think I'm going to lose them after a Factory Reset. So if you have a tool to put them permanently ...
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
I think you have no chance. It looks like you have to make everything new from zero, flash rom, update to the latest fota and than cwm+root.

IMEI Problem is new to me, i read sometimes about but i think it was problem of clone/copy phones.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] gibs:
This is what I'm doing actually :)

At least I've tried. I don't know how Mightymiki has managed to update from CWM.

Would be interesting :)

Hi Are any phone cases available or compatible with this phone?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
Now everthing working ?

I have big trouble with mtk sp tool, wont flash the rom any hints for this ? Its my first time use this tool. Scatter and da all download agent are selectet but it looks like driver issue.:(

I click on download than connect the power off device and nothing happens, only battery picture pops off for short time.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] gibs:
Yes, everything is working fine. really.

I regret the old task killer (the cross was useful to kill all apps in 1 click)

With the new one you have to kill one by one.

In some roms I have seen the task killer with a trashcan in the bottom to kill all apps in one click. any idea how to add the trash?

For burning the rom you need to select the option download + format. and then plug the phone.

download only was not working for me (but I had a different partition scheme).

Then if it still not working, you need to add the preloader driver.

If you put the Windows device manager opened and you plug the phone, you'll see if the device hasn't its driver.

As to flash I used Windows 8.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
Hi, Rom works now but looks like i have the same partition problem.

My sd is 8gb only and. How do you solve the problem ?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] gibs:
If you flash the phone with this one you should have 12GB. I did it 3 times and I always had 12GB. (out of the box my U8 had 4GB+8GB)

[Oukitel (All phone models)] kadett 1:
Okay, now it has 12GB. The Customized stock rom is the better way.;)

Few queries

I've recently just rooted this phone by means of flashing old version or original firmware/rom on and then rooting using PC. My queries which i'm hoping people can help with are as follows please:

1. App Kingroot is installed and i'm trying to use SuperSU but it keeps failing eventhough i have root

2. Is putting a custom recovery on what should be done next?

3. If I update the firmware using the OTA update app on phone will this unroot the phone and if so what would i need to do to reroot as lastest version blocks rooting

4. There's an app in root called BeautyMakeup (this was here on before rooting also) What is this and is it safe to delete it as malware bytes sees it as an issue
