there is no bug in v9.5 like that..

open the phone and take out the battery. not full just tick it out a bit.. (you need a little tiny screwdriver)

when the phone is fully off. charge it a bit. and then flash philz v2 recovery . vol+ and power to get into bootloader / recovery

wipe cache and dalvik. restart.
[Elephone P8000] salmidach:
wow that was a complete ballache..

got the phone back using spflashtools and had a nightmare with windows 10 drivers. now got standard rom, but with no root access....

how do I get root access back, SuperSU doesn't allow it any longer please help.
[Elephone P8000] thundermuppet:
Before you open and take battery out, try the flash process, press download, connect the phone, gold power button on phone. It should start flash process once it restarts. At least it works for me..
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
use philz or twrp

flash it via flashtools.

go there and flash SuperSU v.2.46

link to v2.46 https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/

sorry for being a pain in the backside today Skeleton and thank you so much for your help.

But what do I do with the img file?

I understand the scatter file but don't know how to get philz tools installed.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
The scatter.txt and the recovery.IMG both place in one folder on your desktop. Turn the phone off.

Open flashtools . select the folder and its scatter. Txt. Press on download and connect the phone

[Elephone P8000] salmidach:
Hi,

Did that but when I did vol+ and power I got the small 3 option and not philz tools. If I do the vol- and power I get the chinese list.

What have I done wrong. flash tools gave me the big green tick

Cheers
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Vol+ and power . you get the 3 options.

Thats right.

There choose recovery . with vol+ and vol- you navigate and apply

I then get the green android figure with a red exclamation mark on it.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
thats stock recovery. you did not flash the philz recovery.img. xD

press 7 times quick on power to reboot
[Elephone P8000] salmidach:
I did. I pointed flashtools to the scatter file in the folder for philz tools and attached the phone and clicked download. got the green tick to say that it was done
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
first press on download then connect the phone.

do this step a second time
[Elephone P8000] salmidach:
Ok, that step is now done. but when I go to re-root it doesn't do it. rooting fails what am I missing? do I know need to install the supersu.zip to enable rooting?

Again Thanks for all your support Skeleton.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
many newcomers and users , have problems with flashtools and the mtk driver on windows.

but it is so easy to set all up ..

i will make a new "HOW to" thread at the weekend.

[Elephone P8000] Garyg124:
And my Lloyd's bank app still works that isn't supposed to with a rooted device?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
yup..

posts above i posted the v 2.46 supersu link for you.

there are two steps:

flash recovery . - ( in your case, done)

flash supersu zip in recovery
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
lol. you lucky one!

maybe because of the data restore.

it has restored your data/app (the bank app) and the cache of it from a non rotted device.. xD that could be the case.

if not.. well then you are lucky. enjoy it :D
[Elephone P8000] Garyg124:
Oh no I did a complete wipe and lost everything and started fresh. I backed up my Nova launcher settings but the bundled app must have written over the folder.
[Elephone P8000] timax69:
Is there a trick to get the battery out, must be released more than the one tiny screw on the bottom? Updated to Eragon 9.0 but that does not helped (deleted cache+dalvik).
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
its okay :D

a clean install without restoring anything is the best for the running system :D:D

i dont know. haha . please try the other method with going back to stock rom via flashtools.. that could solve the problems too
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
Oh, man.

Start your phone normally.

Go to Play Store and install this. Start the app and follow the subsequent in-app installation/update instructions (select ”normal”, not CWM or TWRP when it asks).

You will now have root. (all stock roms are pre-rooted.)

That's it.
[Elephone P8000] sparkster84:
Hi there, guys. I hope you can help me, I am another proud owner of a brick.

After having fun with the bloatware the last update installs, I decided to flash the phone and install this ROM. Apparently I did something wrong, because I am having the eternal loading issue. This is what I tried so far:

- Used the tutorial to install the clockwork recovery

- Flashed the zip to root it

- Rebooted it, root was fine.

- Replaced the clockwork recovery by the TWRP

- Wiped cache, dalvik, system and internal data

- Installed the eragon 9.5 ROM

- Wiped again

- Tried to boot. It got stuck in the spinning colours dragon.

- Forced a reboot and wiped again.

- Same problem

- Forced a reboot, installed the ROM again.

- Same problem.

- Wiped again and installed eragon 9.2.

- Same problem

- Forced a reboot, wiped again and tried to boot one more time.

- Same problem.

- Flashed again the root zip and eragon 9.2 one more time

- Saaaaaaaaaaaame problem.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

EDIT: I tried to flash the CM ROM and this time it worked. Apparently I'm doing something wrong with Eragon! Should I change any other parameters on the system or the boot partition? Everything is stock appart from what's above...
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
You are coming from the latest stock Rom.. With its sd swap and some other stuff.

Do this:

1. via flashtools flash this stock rom

https://mega.co.nz/#!08AUAS6Y!RZTy7Xd46QUjnIAbgjDDOKUGk55s2BHGHzXOR5u8UL8

Leave all selected in flashtools.

2. Boot you phone until you are in homescreen

(Make sure eragon v9.5 is in your internal or external storage)

3. power it of again and flash philz v2 recovery via flashtools (if the present scatter.txt dont work , you can use the stock one)

4. plug of the phone and hold vol+ and power to Boot into bootloader.

Select recovery .

5. browse to wipe/ "clean to install a New Rom"

6. after that flash eragon Rom ZIP

7. DONT WIPE. just reboot.

8. done!

Is the fix (both bits) for the battery going to be incorporated into a future update of the ROM? Just wondering as the battery issue doesn't really cause me a problem so I don't think I need to alter things unnecessarily. Cheers.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
its still under testing.. but yes . most users ( including me) have that battery bug. and if this fix will sort it out , or at least make it better for some users , it will come into my next release..

if you dont have this bug, you will not notice it anyway

BTW the fix is in kernel and in frameworks , so if i add it into my rom you have it too, because its not possible to remove the framework.

well it is. you can delete it if you want a dead Android OS. xD :p

Reboot problem solved. Formated /system in recovery, after that installed Eragon 9.5 and the two optional updates (for framework ...).

Shutdown worked, battery charged over night and now it seems all fine. Only the "Uhr wurde beendet" bug shown once after every restart, maybe I missed the solution in this long thread (but this problem was on previous versions, too) ;)

(I've installed the wifi and bluetooth updates in 9.2 on my own, maybe this can be the problem in a "damaged" system file).

Framework + Kernel works only once?

Hi [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION],

I installed the framework + kernel, and it worked.

But today, when the battery hit 15% again, the drop re-appeared.

I installed both again, to test again.

Keep you posted,

Satbeginner
[Elephone P8000] wit.cz:
To test the fix of battery drain is necessarily to charge untill 100% otherwise the percantage doesn't correspond the reality. It is usefull to watch voltage - 0% is <3.4 V, 100% is >4.35 V.

Testing with framework + kernel combo

Hi,

Last night I charged to 100%, so that should be ok.

When it hit 15% this evening it dropped very fast. (Unexpected)

So I charged till 10%, and during charging I flashed framework and kernel again. (Including the wipe afterwards)

I kept charging to 18% and now I am testing during discharge.

Now at 13% and still ok. (No fast drop)

I have an App called 'Ampere' installed.

It measures the charging current, and shows both percentage and voltage.

Discharge durrent does not work (yet) on P8000, but it shows voltage and the actual %.

Will charge 100% tonight again.

Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, I couldn't find a response in the search.

Is it possible to have face unlock and other smart unlock features on this ROM, I understand that it's part of Google play services but i don't seem to have the option in my settings window.

This would be useful, my finger print reader is next to useless, when training I can only get it to pick up a print once then nothing so other security methods are of interest to me.

Thanks

These options aren't working in p8000.

[Elephone P8000] Satbeginner:
Hello,

A phone uses the USB port not only for charging, it also uses the usb-data lines to 'look' at the charger.

This way it can recognize whether is it connected to its own, original charger, or a PC usb-port.

So, even if the charger you used is 100% working , if the phone did not recognized it as an original P8000 charger, it will assume it is connected to a standard PC usb port.

In that case the charging circuit INSIDE the phone will limit the charging current to appr. 0,35Amp, hence the long charging time. (A PC port has a maximum of 0,5Amp)

To be clear, chargers for Android phones are just 5V power supplies, capable of delivering a certain, maximum current.

The amount of current used for charging is controlled and decided by the phone itself.

You can check this (if your phone is root-ed) by an app called 'AMPERE' from the PlayStore by Braintrapp.

Un saludo,

Satbeginner
[Elephone P8000] wit.cz:
That can take actually so much time (if you are not charging via usb) because at ca. 85% (when charging after 15%->1% drain) the battery is fully charged (4.35V). The rest in the form of remaining 15% is gained only as a consequence of maintaining a charged battery, and exactly during this charging period with very little current we formally get to 100% which probably cause 15%-1% battery drain because there is no 15% extra.

Also you can notice that when the battery is charged for example to 20% after the 15%-1% drain and you stop charging, there is not battery drain in this case. The percentage shown by phone is totally crap in this case.

It is quite difficult for me to explain this in English but I hope it is understandable. You can also google some graphs showing the progress of charging battery to understand what is going on with our phones in the context of percentage and voltage.

Under current circumstances, I think the best way to find out how the battery is charged is to have look at the actual voltage via gravity box or ampere app.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
so you think there is only a wrong battery percent table.
[Elephone P8000] wit.cz:
It can look as wrong battery table but this could be only result of other things somewhere deeper. On the other side, the voltage range is physical quantity and percentages should match the voltage.

EDIT: voltage can be also found by dialing * # * # 4636 # * # * -> battery info :)
[Elephone P8000] freddy5:
battery monitor show's exactly this behavior, look at my screenshot from yesterday.. *click*

percent and voltage starts at 17% dropping rapidly (% -> mV).

1% drain by loosing 1-3 mV in 10 seconds :laugh::rolleyes:

Thank you so much for granted ...

As for the smartphone, is not only the SoC to be equal (MT6753), but as the P6000Pro, is equal also the GPU (ARM-T720 MP3), same size (5 inches) and same resolution (720x1280).

I tried to make porting from CM12.1 to use it in my Ulefone Paris ... I followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701283 adding lib64, but after the installation is successful, remains blocked after bootanimation and optimization of the app.

I think that another Smartphone very similar can be usefull also for you, in order to use others libs, if you need.... If can be usefull for you, I can post you my logcat on boot immediately after installation.

I think that for you is very simple, I just want you explain to me how to move ... last thing, just use windows 7.

Thank you very much!!

Graphical glitch

Hello, just registered and also my first post. Really love the eragon rom and appreciate the work you've put into this, definitely makes the p8000 that much more worth it. Anyway back to the purpose of my post, I've noticed a weird issue with the battery graph. In the first picture the estimated time projected the phone to run into the next day, which may have produced the glitch because in the second picture when it estimated less this didn't happen.

Also another unrelated issue that I've experienced since moving to 9.5 is that randomly when my finger makes contact with the fingerprint scanner my phone will vibrate. This will happen when making contact 2 times max and then it won't it for awhile. The reason why I say randomly is because this has happened while being in the es file explorer app, while playing a game, and while on youtube. Just wanted to mention this in case anyone else might be experiencing it too. Thanks!

HTC Camera not taking pictures?

Hi [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION] and others,

I flashed the HTC-camera zip-file, and now I can open the camera app, but I cannot take pictures?

In camera settings, general settings the 'storage' ,'SD card' is greyed out?

Is this related to the sd-swap I have installed?

Can or need I edit the 'com.htc.camera_preferences.xml' file somehow?

This has this line in it:

<string name="pref_sdcard_state">unknown</string>

If you have the camera working, when you have time, can you post the preferences.xml file?
