Just an FYI - the fastboot CWM method doesn't appear to work when you upgrade to Lollipop. I had de-rooted in order to install Lollipop (upgrade wouldn't work when I was rooted), upgraded to lollipop, now none of the root methods appear to work. Doooooh.
[Android General] gsmyth:
Have you tried frama root?

http://xdaforums.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276

This person supposedly used towel root, it doesn't state it, but they do mention their device running 5.0 out of the box.

Unless the exploits got patched in the 5.0.2 update from Infocus.

[Android General] WearySky:
Towelroot doesn't work on 5.0.2, that was the next thing I tried. Haven't tried Framaroot yet, been a while since I tried that one. IRoot windows desktop app didn't work either. I'll try Framaroot next.

Edit: No luck with Framaroot either.

Damnnn, what about king root? I'm not sure if it's the same as kingo root or from different devs?

[Android General] WearySky:
Kingroot is the first one I tried after upgrading, since that's what was used on it with KitKat. Didn't work. I tried the windows app version of it too (since the windows app versions tend to be a bit better in general). No dice. Hrmph. Now, to see if I can find the kit kat rom and downgrade to that, if possible.
[Android General] gsmyth:
Thanks dude, so it looks like possibly root and stay on kitkat or upgrade to lollipop and wait for a new exploit. I suppose we can at least take from this that the system security is pretty tight and the Infocus devs have patched everything up.
[Android General] WearySky:
Well, as far as I can tell the biggest thing they fixed was patching Fastboot mode so that you can't boot to an unsigned boot image. The rest is just Android exploit fixes, far as I can tell.
[Android General] WearySky:
Ok, on the plus side - the KitKat rom from NeedRom appears to be the stock rooted rom that my phone arrived with. Back to square one easily enough. Though the partitioning seems messed up, only 1GB of free space?

update to lollipop

Hi I have just received this phone today from gearbest. So far so good but I am having issues updating to lollipop. I get this messages during installation:

finding update package...

opening update package...

verifying update package...

installing update package...

mount partition

verifying current system...

"/hidden/data/CDA/100A0/CDA/setting.xml" has unexpected contents.

Installation aborted

Can anyone help. I have done a factory reset and have checked via root checker app that the phone is not rooted

Thanks in advance
[Android General] gsmyth:
Maybe have to flash the rom files via adb if they are online somewhere.

Can you reboot to recovery? Is there an option to wipe the cache partition?
[Android General] komruz:
Hi, when the update fails I am in recovery where I have this option.

what would you like me to do, should I wipe?
[Android General] gsmyth:
I would probably try it as I think the ota is downloaded to the cache directory and it will be wiped and the system should redownload it to flash again in case it's a corrupt file.
[Android General] komruz:
I have wiped and rebooted and the install does the same thing. I can get the install.zip file out of the phone? would that help

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

the update.zip is downloaded to the phones memory (root) it is 837.95mb in file size
[Android General] gsmyth:
Here's a link to the ota flashable 5.0.2. Worth a try to see if it gives the same error.

There's also the kitkat rom, maybe you could flash it then try updating.

[Android General] komruz:
Thanks, I have read that after a few days the version 'C' (416C-0-00W) of the file will be available OTA download. I have tried to download the file and update via recovery mode but does not work, the only way I get to the recovery mode is when I download version 'A' (00WW-4-16A) of the file OTA which fails but then I go to install from internal storage... and after selecting the file (Version C or even version A again) it just aborts straight away? but will probably give it a few days.

There a preview from s7yler who has had the same problem but he told me that he got version 'C' (416C-0-00WW) of the file a few day after (see comments). he ignored version 'A' and then gave him version 'C' a few days after

Hey guys, my video review is up! I'm extremely, extremely impressed with this phone!

[YOUTUBE]0q_4k07FNwc[/YOUTUBE]
[Android General] gsmyth:
Thanks for the excellent review, so you mention you had issues installing the lollipop update as well? I'm waiting on my handset which should be delivered in the next couple of weeks. I've seen some people reviewing mention 5.0 was already installed out of the box and others say they had KitKat.
[Android General] WearySky:
I got the same error - setting.xml seems to have been changed from bone stock, which I think happens if the phone has *ever* been rooted. I've been trying in vain (my Chinese google fu is severely lacking) to find the unmodified stock kit kat rom to flash. There's a full build of the stock Infocus Lollipop ROM over at NeedRom.com though, posted by s7yler. That's the one I flashed to get up to Lollipop when I lost root... And I'm *pretty* sure it was flashing *back* to Kit Kat that broke my partitions, so you shouldn't have to worry about that breaking things. :)
[Android General] gsmyth:
I ordered from TinyDeal, hoping its not been rooted or modified so I can update to lollipop ok. Although ideally would like to find a way to root, to remove bloat/install an ad blocker/user titanium, not that bothered about custom rom/recoveries but if I had root it would be good.

Just downloaded a 4.4.2 rom from needrom, although Im guessing its just an OTA update file and its under 300MB.

Im stuck my friend,do you repair phones?Nothing works for me im stuck in a fastboot bootloop and my recovery is not working.There are no more files in internal storage and when i try with my sd card i get installation aborted no matter what i try to flash.Looks like there is no download mode to use a flash tool.Im lost,i think its time send back the phone for repair...what do you think?I read somewhere you can boot from sd but im no pro.I think all this started when i upgraded to lollipop and did not unroot,it must have affected my recovery.
[Android General] lolo9393:
IT is not really clear what you did and what you get...

You still be able to go in recovery mode?

If the file (the rom update ) is good it should flash from SD without issue.

(sometime the phone bootloop at the end of the process but a restart stop this strange stage)

What rom are you going to flash? name and size of the release?

Did you have ADB installed?

Did you read the thread because they are plenty of informations given from people like us that were in trouble and found solution?

Normally if you have recovery mode available you are not 100% bricked .

good luck
[Android General] nikhubest:
Hi guys,

I rooted my Infocus M810 (lollipop 5.0.2) by flashing tw101 recovery by titovich through fastboot. To make this recovery permanent, I flashed it again using Flashify app. Since then I am stuck in recovery bootloop. I am unable to access stock recovery. Every time it boots into tw101 recovery. I tried factory reset, formatted data, even formatted system (which was a mistake, I think). After that I tried to flash stock rom (Infocus_M810_VNA-416C-0-00WW-A01-update_(by_xdafirmware.com).zip) through fastboot, but it aborts the installation by saying "no build.prop file found".

Further, every time it boots, it gives message in the upper side left corner that this phone is rooted and is prone to malware, virus etc. So I think my warranty is also void now.

I am seriously worried guys. Please tell me what to do.
[Android General] lolo9393:
If it boots into Titovich recovery you may be able to install the new ROM from this link:

http://xdaforums.com/android/general/infocus-m810-custom-roms-tweaks-t3237260

If you read the thread it is said and repeated that this recovery can't be permanently installed and it is also explained that this recovery modify the system partitioning and previous official rom"s will never install back....

I suggest you ask Heineken78 his opinion on this subject.

I wish you get out from the mess you created not reading the thread before doing it.
[Android General] nikhubest:
Do you think if I send it to the company service centre, they will be able to resolve this issue?
[Android General] lolo9393:
They normally do it, that's why they are for. BUT IT DEPENDS on their ability to serve this brand (Infocus) and it will not be free of charge unless you can motivate them to accept the phone issue as "random".

I am pretty sure your device is not 100% bricked, it is only up to you to find the good way to restart it well.

We learn many more from our mistakes than from our success! UNQUOTE
[Android General] sensorex@gmail.com:
Flash back the original recovery in fastboot mode. Get a fastboot rom from needrom.

remove ".log" ext before flashing it . I rename it because of the size.

I flashed stock recovery, rebooted into stock recovery successfully. I tried to flash stock rom (Infocus_M810_VNA-416C-0-00WW-A01-update_(by_xdafirmware.com).zip) through recovery, but it aborted the installation by saying "build.prop" not found.

I also tried to flash this rom through fastboot, but it said "unknown partition : update.zip"

Sam, you are from India. Could you email to Infocus india about latest ROM, or get it from service center?

m810 is no 8 of 10top in India. It should have latest updates.

Infocus Taiwan, was making roms for m810, has closed m810 support and updates few days ago.

Just got an answer from Indian Infocus support.

Dear Customer,

Really weird company...
[Android General] Sam Solomon:
I already mailed them.. they keep on talk like trying to make me scared of root or flash roms.. say i wont get warranty.. i said i dont care of warranty... today they emailed me that they do not have any details about official rom.. but im pretty sure indian version of m810 rom is different than others i tried here... i have system.img boot.img recovery.img backups of stock rom.. but i want untouched rom from them... oh and they gave a number and asked to call for technical queries.. but what they basically mean is to take my phone to svc.. and that svc.. i know it before.. i went there.. they dont keep any roms.. all they do is sent the device to respective companies.. i had another device called iberry auxus n1.. so its useless to ask them again .. :rolleyes: indeed too weird.. even local brands provide stock rom.. :eek:
[Android General] heineken78:
We can make it simple.

If you have in India offical 5.1.1 rom for m810, ask service center to flash into your phone.

i help you to make a dump and will use it to make a rom ;)

clear as offical!

PS: anyway, any rom different from tw versions of m810, m812 we have. Will be good, because of modem part etc..

We should use any backdoor paths with the help of community, because Infocus m8100WW f*cked up us with updated.

And updating its silly m812 only...
[Android General] Sam Solomon:
I called that svc .. they got no idea about firmware for this device like i thought... i already got system dump.. i am gonna flash it to phone and see if things are alright.. :rolleyes:
[Android General] heineken78:
The best way is to clear system partition.

"fastboot erase system", also erase box partition - it contaings all your bloody logs for service :)"fastboot erase box"

Now you if you restart it will stuck on boot logo.

You come with this to service center and say that your phone won't boot. They reflash it with latest rom, and you say thx! :)

Don't go there with unlocked bootloader.
[Android General] Sam Solomon:
i told them device is bricked automatic.. they said they need a week time to analyze and repair lol said might need to sent to another state .. im so confused.. why dont they even know to flash stock rom lol :eek: i am gonna annoy infocus india support for stock rom... its qualcomm device even.. need sources too... are you sure they stopped updates for m810 bro? i asked them if m810 will get marshmellow.. they told me a week ago that they are working hard on updates for device...they will announe it on fb page of infocus india... but it seems they are just interested in m812 which is using same chipset :(

[Android General] lolo9393:
DO you get back the dirty band selection panel? if yes the modem installed well. please don't touch it again!!!

From my side I flashed the M812 modem and it worked.

If no success you should reset the NV value as explained by Heineken. It need some learning about but at the end it is successful.

firstly try M812 modem '(extract it from a rom) and check if it is better.

Then put your hands in adb shell.... and QXDM.

[Android General] Nixou:
my firmware is V1613039_0020, build 00WW_1_640 which I believe is the standard one for imported M810. Already resetted twice so it's clear those virus and spam are from the stock rom.

Apps like 360 security try to get installed whitout me doing anything, everytime I switch the screen, either it appears as "asking permissions to be installed" either other spam that I need to quit everytime. When not connected to internet, those spams are less active but still there though.

About the browsers, as I said earlier the spam pages launch on every access no matter the browser. Tried with dolphin, chrome, firefox etc

If only I could know where those viruses are hidden I could eradicate them, like Code4bugs did, but they are not detected by Kapersky, nor by Avast, and my firewall is useless.
[Android General] gsmyth:
The calculator app is dodgy and also the flashlight app, both have far too many permissions and probably are back doors. I don't trust the installed KitKat that came with this phone at all, even with the malware removed, I would recommend installing the stock kitkat rom in my previous post and then rooting it if you want.

I have had same issue on my M810 with pre-rooted KitKat shipped with it. This adware is survived even after updating with official OTA to Lollipop 5.0.2 (furthermore I forgot to un-root KK before update, shame on me). I found this discussion on-line (still ongoing) that shows the exact same adware pages shown on my phone:

http://androidforums.com/threads/an...rus-malware-adware.878655/page-3#post-7041423

No one in that discussion seems to have found the root cause.

But the post #50 on page 2 made me think. Like he said, I have cleared data/cache of "Android WebViewer", uninstalled updates, then removed and installed again. Since then, no more problem for me. (it's already two month since then)

I'm not an expert and I'm on 5.0.2 with no root, so I didn't do further investigations (but if someone wanted do it......I'm curios to know what the root cause was).

If you have the exact symptoms (same adware pages on every browser, like on my) you can try that, but.......like gsmyth says, I think it would be really safer if you take some time to install stock KitKat that he linked to you.
