I can try to help you . I am at home in 3hours. Look into your message inbox then..

And please flash philz recovery via flashify. Make a new backup (twrp backups don't work in philz) . perform that "clean to flash new rom" and flash v6.5.1.

Twrp have some bugs .your bootloop could also be related to it..

[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
I installed TWRP with Flashify and then dirty flashed 6.5.1 over 5.5. I have not faced any problems so far. Except for a minor one: the build props indicate that I am still on 5.5. But this is clearly not the case. Rounded notifications, Open Camera etc.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Yep. That is one of the bugs in twrp. It don't write/read the custom partition.

That's why in settings it say v5.5 for you.

Thonight I will provide philz recovery v3 touch ;)

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
Is there anything else on the custom partition that I am now missing? If yes: I will reflash 6.5.1. This time with Philz or CWM. Thanks!
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Yes there is. [emoji14] . is the p8000 lockscreen app from play store working for you?

If not, please reflash the rom with philz..

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
I am not using Playstore or any other Google Trojans ;) By contrast, I use Aptoide ...

Will have a look for the lockscreen app (whatever this may be) and try it out.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Don't think you will find it.

So I uploaded it for you

https://www.dropbox.com/s/x2jh69j0syt9xmg/base.apk?dl=0.

Check if it works. If not use philz and reflash the rom

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
I tried it out and apparently it does not work. (I have not yet tried to reflash the ROM and then use the Lockscreen app again. This would be the proof that something is wrong with the TWRP port. I will wait for Philz v3 before I reflash everything again.)

EDIT: I found the app here: https://apkpure.com/p8000-lock-screen-wallpaper/es.leon.agutif.p8000lockscreenwallpaper
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
OK. Here you have:

[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
Oh my god. I am supposed to play the guinea pig? Hopefully, this will not brick my phone ; ))

EDIT: Ok. Seems to work. In any case, my phone is not bricked. Will now make a backup with PhilZ Touch 6.59.0

EDIT 2: Touch functions work. But the icons are so small that it is safer to use the buttons.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Naahh . :D you can trust me.. xD. Haha.

Seriously ! I will never provide anything that is not tested by me and that can brick devices.

I did a super dirty reflash with PhilZ (not even cleaned cache/dalvik). Everything seems to be fine.

Except for the lockscreen app: it does still not change the lockscreen (although the ROM build number is now 6.5 ...)
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Do you have a systemui-res.apk in

Custom/app-res/systemui-res ?

If yes. Deinstall the p8000 lockscreen app and reboot.

Install it again and see if it works..

Could now be related to a dirty flash [emoji14]

Not a problem ;)

Sorry, didn't realise your banking app had a built-in camera. I think my wifi is better than it used to be but still not perfect as it does spazz out from time to time!
[Elephone P8000] bluiis48:
I am sure you have covered all the bases but, just from past experience are you using WiFi Analyzer or similar to make sure your neighbors aren't hogging the same channel(s) as you. Where I live there are two main internet providers and the installer guys leave the wireless routers on default so what I see is all my neighbors using pretty much the same two channels. But that is good for me, I have two routers, same SSID on both but they are both locked on two locally unused channels while my neighbors are trompling on each others signals. Just a thought and given your expertise I am pretty sure you have already checked this.
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
Thanks for your comments, it seems we have a similar setup as I also use 2 routers with same ssid locked on channel 6 & 11 but the p8000 is the only device which has problems, all the wifi channels in my area are pretty congested so not much hope of overcoming that obstacle:)

I believe we should all vote. Elephone is strong in Germany. If US networks were also supported, however, the P8000 community would become much bigger. This should result in even better support by the manufacturer, developers etc.

I don't know how far your progress with the adb connection.

I had the same problem, and found out that my adb was too old.

You need at least version 1.0.32.

Versions before will not work with your p8k and also with the recovery.

I have no idea about adb and win, I'm using my lovely linux, but here on xda, it looks like if help is available to get an recent adb version:

[Elephone P8000] kevvyboy:
Thought I would give this ROM a try and all seems good except for a couple of issues:

1) Missing my 3G/4G icons next to signal strength (can make calls no problem)

2) the phone black screens after dialling, unable to wake without using the power button.

How I flashed - factory rest using TWRP. Did not full wipe system.

Also, 'Speaker Boost' app does not work - shame 'cos of the very low volume of the p8000, but hey guess what? Viper4Android works so that more than makes up for it! (Although the V4A logo is just a white square in the notifications bar). Could never get V4A to work in stock.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
1. check settings/sim if your mobile data is enabled.

2. could be hardware sensor related. was it the same on stock ?

3. very low volume?? no the volume is very loud compared to other phone.. ( possible you have the first batch of p8000, where that issues are present) you can use mtk enginnering shortcut from playstore , install it and browse there to audio.. you can set the volume higher , like you prefer..

4. and IMPORTANT for custom roms! DO NOT USE TWRP. i dont know if you followed some post of this thread , if not.

again, twrp has some bugs in it. for example it dont flashes the custom partition and it sometimes makes problems in installation process.

PLEASE USE PHILZ RECOVERY AND PERFORM A FULLWIPE! in philz recovery there is an option its called "clean to install new rom" do this and after flash eragon , then check if your bugs are still there. (notice: wipe cache can take up to 5 min, please wait till it is finished)

:D
[Elephone P8000] kevvyboy:
Thank for the advice, appreciate it.

1) mobile data is on, no icons. Hmmm.

2) dialler worked fine on stock, no issues.

3) mine was a pro-order - very low volumes, headset almost unlistenable. Broke my headset socket (not alone in that!) and now use a Bluetooth headset, have set audio in engineering mode all the way up. V4A helps though!

4) will use philz and do the full wipe and report back :)
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
thanks. will wait for your feedback.

and related to your data mobile- did you checked your apns? maybe there is something wrong or they are not set by default..

edit: or do you mean the 3g/4g network icons that are next to the signal bar? in that case your mobile data works,

post a screenshot . would clarify it
[Elephone P8000] binser:
I have seen so many people have problems with Twrp and that makes this thread very cluttered.

When I checked your recovery thread, I did not find any prominent warning about the Twrp bug.

Why don't you edit the Twrp download post there and post a really big warning in it. ☺
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
I did yesterday. Twrp is removed!

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] kevvyboy:
Alrighty.

PhilZ --> clean to install new ROM --> flash Eragon.

So yeah, I did it the CORRECT way :)

Immediate differences - a new Eragon boot animation (did not have from TWRP flash / factory reset).

1) missing network data icons - me being stupid - in stock, always there - in Eragon they are missing only when WiFi is on. My bad.

2) dialler still black screens when pressed to call. Wakes and stays awake when power button pushed.

3) volume levels fine at present with MTK values and V4A.

4) yeah....PhilZ is the one. Nuff said.

Thanks for your help, any info I can provide about the black screen on dialling?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
1. no problem. you mean the network icons. i removed them in the past...

2. its sensor related.. there is not much i can do . if you download a sensor app (sensor box for android) from playstore you can check the proximity sensor if it is working, cover it it says 0.0 ..look attached below

3.nice!

4.:silly::good:
[Elephone P8000] kevvyboy:
Sensor app, very interesting. After testing I can confirm my sensor doesn't always work, and test dialling it is 50/50 whether it does work.

Nice, all issues known and sorted - thank you again!
[Elephone P8000] rbt07:
On which version of the stock ROM is best to install Eragon? Can I install on the latest "20151105"?

Thanks - I tried install on "20151105" and it was not good. Will try.

But, in my opinion it would be better if it installed as normal ROM, not as only upgrade stock ROM "20150725".

I mean installation on wiped mobile.

[MENTION=3817111]kevvyboy[/MENTION] : A little test that you can make for the proximity sensor, test visi0nary's kernel, it solve mine problems (i have the s**k v1 P8000)
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Its not upgrading. My ROM is different to stock. The only thing is my rom dont touch the custom partition and some other files.. and in 11/05 elephone switched the storage.. That's why 07/25 custom partition and its files are Recommended. I will try to solve that Problem asap!

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
The custom partition (custom.img)

Includes some apps and files for the system.

In it there is for example:

The systemui-res.apk that is needed for the lockscreen wallpaper.

Second example: there are .prop files for the system. The settings.apk can read it.

Third example: there are also some firmware files, for the system...

The rom will work without the custom partition but it will not be that good then. And It can cause issues too

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] MTIH1992:
They always do that, they have to wait for the capital funding from pre-orders before they start manufacturing. They don't hold any shelf stock.

But tbh the p8000 has a bigger battery than p9000 & vowney, and whilst it is not as high spec its certainly higher than a lot of flagships, but the lower spec on P8000 helps its battery last longer. More efficient
[Elephone P8000] MacLaughlin:
Would be awesome to pimp up the ui a little bit.

True. Seems to be the case. But I noticed that kind of behavior on several Chinese smartphone manufacturers like oneplus etc. Promise everything, keep nothing. But it is indeed good to see Chinese companies expand to Europe. I hate to see Chinese smartphones with missing lte bands.
