There are 2 versions of the stock rom 10/12/2015. The one is called ''option 1'' and the other ''option 2''.

If you install option 1 with flashtools and you get a blank black screen after the first boot that means that you need to install option 2 as you have the latest version of be touch 2.

If you boot normally and you see Ulefone logo then means that you have the first version of Be touch 2.

I had the 2nd version of the phone and i installed normally xposed. I don't know if this the reason that some people can't install it.

Just to know i sold my be touch 2 2 days ago.

I have another challenge with my rooted UBT2 - probably the last one, cause I can't imagine how this could be fixed anymore! Here is what happens: I'm trying to install a ROM using TWRP 2.8.7.0 but since my UBT2 has a dead strip, the "Install" button cannot be pressed, so I can't proceed with launching the ROM installation process. While Android 5 was running, I was always able to flip the device upside down and the screen rotation feature was helping me do what I needed to. But now I have already wiped out everything and my only access to the phone is through TWRP. Is there any way I could launch the ROM installation from TWRP, without clicking the "Install" button? Is it a way to flip the screen upside down maybe, so I can click the "Install" button? Or is it any way to change buttons placement into TWRP 2.8.7.0? Or... is it possible to update TWRP in case buttons position has been changed? Thank you!

N.B. Would it be possible to import a backup from another UBT2 device? I can copy files to the microsd card, which I can later use via the file manager, in twrp.

I'm having a problem with my BT2 for about a week now.

My phone won't charge if it's ON, only charges when it's OFF. Also, I can't connect the phone to a PC using a USB cable, the phone won't detect the PC and the PC won't detect the phone.

I know the problem is not in the cable (I've tried several) nor in the charger (I've also tried several). My battery physically looks fine.

Currently I'm using Modulate Rom.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have to be honest pretty awful experience with this phone.

First of all the specs are great. A lot of RAM big curved screen, fingerprint scanner, you name it.

When it first arrived it was great beautiful and slick. It was smooth to use and a smooth design as well. Pretty thin.

The phone worked great for the first 2~3 months. After that one day I got a dead strip. I had minor drops onto the ground but nothing serious, so I doubt it was that. The middle portion became dead and the only way to use the phone was to keep flipping the orientation when I needed to press something in the dead zone. It became a pain in the ass.

Also the warranty is literally nonexistent. The site I got it from everbuying.net have a 30 day return policy after that you have to pay two way shipping and the repairs. The customer service was nonexistent.

If you read this, lemme tell you. Its not worth the money. I was there too in your shows thinking that it was a great deal for great specs. Guess what? Too good to be true.

Its better to invest in something that will last two three years and that you have warranty on. If you prefer Chinese cheaper brands xiaomi is pretty reputable.

I like what ulefone is trying to do but the quality isnt there.

Flash the cwm custom recovery instead of twrp. You can use cwm by pressing the buttons and not on the screen as twrp.

Power off your phone, then connect it to your computer via usb. Do you hear the connection sound? If yes then flash the original rom with spflashtool. Maybe the phone will work better with original rom. ;)

For me my friend it was the second best phone i've ever had. The top one is the oukitel k6000 pro wich i use these days. Bt2 is very beautiful, has excellent specs. I had no problems for a year. The only problem was that my battery was draining too fast and the reason for this was the software. A fake android version and a locked kernel that didn't have support from the community to see new fixed of problems roms.

Thanks soulfunkdjx. I solved it using another method, I solved it by calibrating my battery again:

1- Charge battery until 100%;

2- Open BatteryCalibration by marosige and click Battery Calibration;

3- Use phone until 0% (until it goes off);

4- Repeat a 2nd time and a 3rd time;

5- Problem solved.

----------

I must be one of the lucky ones, until now I never had an hardware problem with the phone (only software problems). The battery is worthless, I charge it every day.

My phone is making 1 year this month, I'm hoping it will last one more year before I buy a new one.
[Device Reviews and Information] thierry77c:
Mine has one year and dead.

[Device Reviews and Information] rajperth:
Hi soulfunkdjx,

I've bought a second hand UBT2 - everything seems fine (screen has some white blotches but no big deal) - TWRP was installed when I got it and through that I installed MIUI (based on Hermes) - I have tried to get root using supersu through TWRP but whilst it takes to reboot (looking like it is installing something) it cannot achieve root - I want to think out the current ROM further than then I will probably on sell it - thoughts?

Cheers,

Raj

Hi - I have an Ulefone Be Touch 2 that will no longer boot up. Is there a way to get the data off the internal memory?

I recall SP_Facility_DL_Tool.exe can modify the device with no battery installed. Can this tool or a similar tool be used for viewing/downloading data on the internal memory?
[Device Reviews and Information] Jancec:
Hey can someone help me?

Well my phone had problem with battery, battery got "fat"(like geting bigger). So i removed and ordered a new one and then i started to use phone with new battery but phone start to geting warmer( 40-50C) on stand by. Okay i know phone have some problemes with that but what worry's me is that phone is geting warm in lower right corner.I can't send phone to fix beacuse i worry that reapair may cost me as a new phone(guarantee expired). Did some one had same problem as me i would like to know.
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
I recommend you to do factory settings your phone so it can delete your older's battery stats. I think this is the reason. Do it you, don't lose anything to try.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jancec:
Factory settings? is there any video of that on youtube so i can follow how to do it( or is that hard reset becuse i done that already)
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Go to settings/back & restore and from there do the factory settings. But when you do this you'll lose everything from your phone. so backup your phone numbers and photos/videos.

Here's a video -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xbA-E6rOBc

Sorry to revive a thread that's so old and guessing there may not be anyone who can help me, so will post in general questions as well.

I flashed the Lenovo ROM from needrom which seemed to work well. I wanted to got back to stock and used the Ulefone 'onekey flashing tool' which usually worked to go back to stock. This time there was an error message so I used SP Flashtool to flash the stock rom.

However the phone appears bricked - no screen, no charging indicator when plugged into the charger or USB. Not identified by PC as plugged in, but with battery removed, it appears I can 'flash' stock ROM, but it is still 'dead' when battery reinserted.

When I do a memory test in SP Flash Tool, in red text there is the message 'ERROR: NAND Flash was not detected'. Is this the reason the phone is bricked?

Is there an easy way of solving this as I would like to donate this phone to someone who needs it? Tried lots of 'fixes' from XDA and other sites, but nothing working.

Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

:fingers-crossed:
[Device Reviews and Information] emanuelsj:
Hi there,

From my experience I can tell you that there are two ROMs for the Ulefone BeTouch2 and the difference is the graphical drivers. When loading the wrong ROM, you may get the behavior your Ulefone seems to have. Try to use th ROM in the following LINK otherwise look for the „Option 2” ROM HERE

Good luck and let us know if it worked!
[Device Reviews and Information] anonymous1:
Thanks for the reply. It was perfectly fine with flashing V1 before. Have tried both V1 and V2and no luck - same problem.

Even though flashing the ROM with SP Flash Tool and the official Onekey flashing tool appear to flash the ROM to the EMMC, the phone won't even boot to the boot logo.

Plugging in the charger doesn't show the charging indicator. I think the issue is with the 'ERROR: NAND flash was not detected!' message when doing the memory test.

I thought it was difficult to brick MTK devices, but I seem to have achieved the almost impossible.

Does anyone have any idea how I can recover from this bricking. The phone is recognised by SP FT so I hope there is a possibility. :fingers-crossed:

I'm still using my Ulefone Be Touch 2 since I bought it new in December 2015.

It has developed a number of issues now:

- Light sensor doesn't seem to work (I don't think it ever worked).

- Rear camera most of the times can't focus near objects (this problem has been happening since maybe late 2017), other times the rear camera won't synchronize with the rear flash making any photos taken extremely dark (if I have the rear flash always on, then sometimes the rear camera will turn off the rear flash during the exact moment that the photo is taken). I can't remember now if I'm having similar problems with the front flash and the front camera, but I'm sure that the front camera has no problems focussing near objects.

- Battery died in the summer of 2018, bought a new "Quian Simai" battery and so far it's 'ok' (sometimes I have to charge the phone two times a day), I always have the fingerprint sensor turned off to help battery last longer.

- I'm still using "Modulate Rom", I've been having the same problems I reported in my previous posts, but it's better than using the official rom.

- Since 2017/2018 that sometimes the phone reboots out of nowhere, other times the phone takes more than 10 minutes to boot, I've found that removing all Google Play updates and disabling Google Play and blocking Google Play in the firewall usually solves these problems (if I need to install or update an app, I turn on Google Play and I install/update the app, immediately after that I turn off Google Play).

- Since 2018/2019 that sometimes the phone starts to freeze and sometimes reboots, I've found that turning off the Wi-Fi and stop using it for an amount of time solves the problem.

- GPS was crap before, but now it seems to be getting worse, don't know why.

- Volume Up button stoped working in late 2018 or early 2019.

Anyway, just wanted to help anyone that might still be using one of these phones.
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
For me it was fhe best looking phone. Very beautiful. Unfortunately it has a lot of bugs and a very bad battery. If ulefone was a serious company they could support the phone with rom updates but that never happened.

Hi,

my name is Alex and I wanted to revive my mothers BeTouch2 from battery bloated. With a new battery it works fine. But softkeys are not working anymore. I would like to switch to a custom rom and found ModulateRom v2.18 on HTCMania which seems to be pretty nice. Unfortunately all the downloadlinks are broken. Does anybody know where to get it from? V2.18 would be nice because its the stable final.

If the soft keys also wont work with that one, i will try to open the phone, maybe some cables or pins are loose, because of the bloated battery ... or just rely on an softkeys app.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Greetings

Alex
[Device Reviews and Information] emanuelsj:

[Device Reviews and Information] seeker007:
weird i have no problems with that. the UI sometimes fc only when i use fingersensor to unlock the playstore. otherwise the wifi stay awake works, maybe hard-reset? Seems like a lot of random software problems with the OS. The only thing / hope is that they will support cyanogenmod or update the os/firmware
[Device Reviews and Information] MUG3NHC:
Tried factory reset alteady. No change:/

I hope they will release some update soon also cos of the lag.

I wrote on their facebook about it.

Apparently the update will be released end of this month/beginning of August.

Damn, I hate waiting.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
update on my battery performance...

So I have been running the Be Touch 2 for a few days now using the July 2nd firmware. I am confident that most of the issues will be resolved with a good update (August?). The battery didn't seem to be up to much for the first couple of days. However, I decided yesterday to let the phone completely discharge before putting it on to charge (I usually just charge it overnight each night regardless.

Well, I am by no means a heavy user, don't play games, some email, facebook, mainly music and podcasts. I noticed yesterday that my battery was keeping charge a lot batter than the previous days. I have attached the current screenshot of my battery stats screen. It is showing as still having 32% and I have had it on since before 7am yesterday. It is estimating 18 hours left. The gap you can see on the chart is when I got a bit bored yesterday and spent at least half an hour making a backup, installing xposed several times and restoring the back up a couple of times, so pretty intensive screen on time. Interesting.
[Device Reviews and Information] dEVshr:
Some updates from Ulefone's facebook page:

Regard to software update: "Will be at the end of this month."

Regard to fake battery: "We need to investigate this issue ourselves. Until that no comments."
[Device Reviews and Information] denduvel:
Hi guys, already read some interesting discussions about this device! So I tried to drain the battery, and it lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes with 1% battery remaining continuously running with screen brightness at max. I tried to add a screenshot of the battery life, but I appear to be too new here!

Still very happy with this device, although some apps claim it has been rooted.

Ordered July 1st at to2c.com and delivered by DHL on Friday 10th.

Keep posting!/

Hello, i have recieved the phone last werk and started using it this week. I can support most remarks. Build guality is very good. Fingerprint is working. Camera very nice but focus not always perfect. Ui sometines laggy. The battery performance: when the phone is on during the night is uses 3% of battery, this afternoon battery was for 3 hours on 1%. When watching youtube battery is going fast. Also the phones gets warm during loading and under usage. First impression nice phone(was a bit nervous after negative reviews), and looking forward to the software improvements. I'm currently on the 2-7 rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] r_kalar_2:
[MENTION=1937909]denduvel[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6837444]willemsuper[/MENTION], make sure to drain the battery completely till it can't be turned on. If it can be turn on, use it and drain it completely. Then charge it fully while the phone is off. This way I have gotten better battery life.
[Device Reviews and Information] tianmi:
Yea last 1% of battery lasts for ages.
[Device Reviews and Information] Yeman56:
A lot of chinese phones are affected by this issue (like my actual Elephone P6000), it's due to a bad battery calibration. It is sometimes very confusing !
[Device Reviews and Information] tianmi:
Just received my order for a case and glass protector from gearbest today. Case is nice but the glass screen protector is all cracked, there's no box/packaging for the screen protector, I've heard that gearbest never pack your shipping properly but how hard is it just to slip the screen protector inside the packaging/box of the case?(which is pretty strong). How dump they are.[emoji34]
[Device Reviews and Information] brapifra:
Just like me, case in good condition, but the glass broken. Gearbest said me that they can resend me the item or give the money in my gearbest account (wallet)
[Device Reviews and Information] MUG3NHC:
I used battery calibration apps.

So far I'm not touching the phone as the lag pisses me off too much.

I'll wait for an update...
[Device Reviews and Information] Tommy Nightmare:
Did you know that the Be Touch 2 becomes underclocked after falling below about 50% of the accumulators capacity. Just 4 of the 8 cores are working anymore with less than 1 GHz. Gaming would be impossible.
[Device Reviews and Information] Carlito Z3:
ah? that would explain why, with low battery, I had only 20000 in antutu when I received it...
[Device Reviews and Information] Tommy Nightmare:
My source is a video, search in Youtube for "Ulefone Be Touch 2 Review Test Deutsch - iPhone 6 Plus Klon die Zweite! (gizchina.de) " . Unlikely for you in german.
[Device Reviews and Information] r_kalar_2:
I have played today 'The wolf among us' to discharge the battery. It takes 3 hour and 41 minutes. I don't know whether it is good or bad. No slowdown detected though. The phone got reasonably heated but it wasn't uncomfortable for me.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Has anyone who has installed Xposed here managed to get Amplify to actually block anything?
[Device Reviews and Information] seeker007:
Which rom version are you using? Mine is 150168 but on needrom.com there is a newer rom 150702 maybe you could give that a try
[Device Reviews and Information] MUG3NHC:
I will just wait for an official update.

Be touch 2 is my back up phone, so i dont use it daily.
[Device Reviews and Information] degreatone:
I have followed ur tutorial but whenever I try to boot into recovery the phone just boot up normally
[Device Reviews and Information] seeker007:
Mmmm in that case i would first root the phone. On the website needrom theres a root img

You could also ask s7yler if im correct he's the one who created the file
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
This has just been confirmed to me by someone else too. Thanks for letting us know. I have just cancelled my order before it will ship out, way too many things to gamble on this phone.

Maybe I'll try giving my money to Elephone for the P8000, they're probably still crooks but hopefully less than Ulephone are. I'll wait and see :good:
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
20150702 is official, you can download it at the bottom of the page here: http://ulefone.com/download/betouch2.html

Elephone isn't exactly the epitome of timely shipping either - look at the P7000 fiasco.
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
Yeah, I was following that too. I don't mind waiting so much. It's just the reports of fake batteries and lies about 5.1 lollipop, then this throttling issue (probably to compensate for the battery issue)... I'll wait for the p8000 reviews to come out then make my decision then! It's probably the wiser thing to do.
[Device Reviews and Information] r_kalar_2:
Rom is the official one. Here is the link. http://ulefone.com/download/betouch2.html

It doesn't solve the UI stuttering though.
[Device Reviews and Information] seeker007:
You could try installing the offical rom the link is provided in the thread
[Device Reviews and Information] bakpau2:
Andy4Shurr, You're not the only one. I've been following this thread for a week, and contemplating whether to keep waiting for shipment, or cancel my order from gearbest. Pulled the trigger to cancel last night.

Mainly the same reason like you -- don't want to take a gamble when this phone will get stable ROM. It's a pity that I really like the phone spec for the price.
[Device Reviews and Information] MUG3NHC:
If it doesnt solve the lag then i can't be bothered with it:/

What does it solve tho?

Im already thinking to swap to Elephone P8000...

Any other suggestions for decent but cheap back up phone?
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
It seems to solve the overheating issues, at least on mine it does.

The Lenovo K3 Note is pretty damn sweet, with the ROW rom (new official Indian market ROM)
[Device Reviews and Information] MUG3NHC:
I think elephone p8000 still looks better, if theres no issues and they are not lying about things...if:/
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
Elephone seems to be pretty good about having specs that match what they say they are. They just seem to have trouble telling the truth about when their phones are going to ship. But of course the P8000 looks better, it's $50-60US more than the K3 note. Though the K3 Note has infinitely better ROM support.
[Device Reviews and Information] r_kalar_2:
Don't jump from the pot to the fire. Wait for the reviews of p8000.
[Device Reviews and Information] MUG3NHC:
On aliexpress they are more or less the same price at the moment.

Around £115.

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------

Yeah, i should slap myself and be patient...
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
I don't see any sellers selling the P8000 on Aliexpress for £115. They're all selling it for £137. Whereas the K3 Note is selling for around £105-£110.
[Device Reviews and Information] MUG3NHC:
Well, a few quid more, but delivered by dhl.
[Device Reviews and Information] cruizgaray:
Somehow disappointed with the reviews. Now I have to decided between Lenovo K3 and Mlais M7 (I need 850 band, so forget about P8000 or Jiayu S3). Anyone who has the Mlais M7?

[Device Reviews and Information] xcen3x:
I changed my Ulefone order with K3 note, after reading the reviews, K3 seems like more mature and complete package overall.
