[Device Reviews and Information] SimplyCity:
Hi there,

My UBT2 came to me today morning. Now its rooted and xposed, I am on win10 home x64. upgraded from win 7 home x64. And that's the tricky thing: I am not shure if all my drivers (previously working with mtk devices on win7) was moved correctly to new system... But thats what I did:

1. downloaded:

- "PdaNetA4180.rar" (http://www.mediafire.com/download/2ft0o6vt5a1o7oy/PdaNetA4180.rar) - installed it as an alternative drivers for mtk devices (that is not drivers only, but some soft - it does not matter at this point)

- "SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1520.00.000.zip" (http://www.mediafire.com/download/lm4z491idwxzac3/SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1520.00.000.zip) - it is newest Flash tool

(both files came from http://www.chinaphonearena.com)

2. downloaded "Be Touch 2 TWRP 2.8.7.0" from here: http://www.needrom.com/download/be-touch-2-twrp-2-8-7-0/

3. downloaded SU 2.49 beta zip flashable from anywhere, for example from here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/89110vv87cl1j/www.chinaphonearena.com_Tutorial_downloads

4. downloaded xposed sdk21 v70 and xposed installer 3 alpha 4 - from xda :)

then:

A. installed both things from point 1. above;

B. extracted "TWRPBETouch2.rar" (point 2. above) and changed recovery file name from "recoverye.img" to "recovery.img", as mentioned in this thread before;

C. opened as administrator "flash_tool.exe" (from "SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1520.00.000" folder);

D. choosed "MT6752_Android_scatter.txt" as "Scatter-loading file" (from "TWRPBETouch2" folder - see point B.) - as shown on the attached picture:

E. clicked on DOWNLAD button in SP Flash tool

F. turned off the phone, removed battery and then connected it to pc using not default cable but much more solid one

G. the bar on the bottom of the SP Flash tool went yellow, then it started to write recovery to the phone then it becomes green! - recovery was placed in the place it should be - whole process takes 3 maybe 4 or 5 seconds only!

Little explanation: the phone came to me with newest firmware installed so I did not have to write whole rom to it - thats why I choosed to flash only recovery in Flash Tool and when I connected the phone to the pc, there was no driver installing part, the pc did not install any driver as it usually do - it looks like drivers was already there and they were fine...

Was it old drivers resident in my pc from the time of win7 or the newest pdanet drivers - really do not know...

Well, later it was easy part: booted into recovery (power and VOL+ same time), flashed SU from recovery (previously copied to the phone internal memory using windows), wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, DONE! device rooted - in my opinion - with best way! then installed xposed 3 alpha 4 apk, rebooted to recovery and flashed sdk21v70 flashable zip, wiped cache and dalvik again, DONE! rooted and xposed!

By the way - that recovery has very nice UI!

And finally some words about UBT2: evrything works fine: fingerscanner - it is not perfect, but I've lerned how to use it "at the first shot" during the whole day; camera - saw better devices, but it is nothing to complain when it comes to the price I payed for; when tested, it gets me around 45k antutu, not bad. I do have Mlais M7, the same SoC, same amount of ram and it gave me 48k antutu - but it is only HD not full HD like UBT2 is, so the results are ok, I think.

2 things drive me mad: 1) I feel cheated, couse I thought it will be 5.1, but its not! its like you buy a car and under the hood there are two horses instead of charged engine! We all should send our devices back and request a refund of the purchase!!!! Or we can wait for real 5.1... in the future, in the meantime spaming their facebook and every place we can!!!! And 2) veeeeery lagy UI. It works, but it looks like 10 frames per second... and there is no way to speed it up or get rid of the lags! Even custom launcher did not help - maybe a little, but go to system settings - same lags again. UI is not properly optimized I think. Maybe it will be with future firmware upgrades, I hope

Have a nice evening!
