Driver for Fastboot

Hello guys,

I'm looking to root my Infocus M810. However, I'm stuck with an issue as the fastboot doesn't detect my device. I tried various device drivers including the tool availalble in the site.

Samsung drivers worked for ADB, but didn't work for fastboot. Any help would be appreciated.

I too have this issue. Is your device rooted? I want to root it and edit the GPS config file before handing it over to the service centre since I have 1 last week of warranty left.

I haven't given it to the service centre yet as the issue doesn't seem to be with hardware since satellites are visible.
[Android General] android98765:
An update to the above post as it may help someone in the future.

I installed multiple drivers and still could not get it to work. I had to use 'fastboot -i <vendorID> <command>' (E.g: 'fastboot -i 0x0489 devices' for Infocus) to get it working. (It is also found on page 22 of this thread which I found after I got it working unfortunately). I believe the generic Google USB driver found in the Android SDK will work well with InFocus M810.

After rooting and updating the gps.conf file available on this site, the GPS has started working well. I have used offline navigation multiple times now on Google maps and Here maps. Have had no problems.

Surprised that Infocus released the phone without properly testing something as basic as GPS (which evidently has a very simple fix). Anyway, I'm happy now :)

Oooh... Update - I was messing around a bit, worried I might have to start playing around with partitioning tools... BUT, after installing parted, I saw that my userdata partition was the correct size. It was just that, for some reason, it was corrupted. I was able to reformat it from within the stock recovery, and kaboom - back to 11.0GB free of 11.3GB on a fresh reset. PHEW.
[Android General] gsmyth:
Excellent, so are you back on stock kitkat then?
[Android General] WearySky:
The weird rooted stock KitKat, yes. Edited to add: it would appear that this rooted stock (which came from Needrom) does not support OTA updates (says I have the latest). So I'm going to try to flash the stock KitKat from XDAFirmware linked previously, and see if that works. Fingers crossed!
[Android General] zijin_cheng:
Yes, it would seem that we all are having problems with installing Lollipop, really too bad. Hopefully one of us gets this figured out.
[Android General] WearySky:
Well, since I didn't have any data to worry about losing, I just gave up and went with the unrooted full version of the stock Lollipop ROM, posted by s7yler on Needrom.com (it appears to match the XDAFirmware.com one linked above, as well). The stock Kit Kat from XDA Firmware didn't have working Wifi, for me, so it was no use either. I'll just have to manually re-setup all my apps in Lollipop. Ahhh well. And no AdAway, which is also a bummer but I'll live with it :)
[Android General] gsmyth:
Just a pity someone couldn't add root to the full lollipop build. Maybe it wouldn't be that straight forward, although nearly every device I've had someone has made a prerooted stock rom. Always handy for those who don't want to modify that much. We'd still have the untouched rom to flash I'm case of a new ota. I wonder if there will be any 6.0 updates, I might drop message to Infocus support to see what they say.
[Android General] cisi:
Hi all, i received from myfox a kitkat version prerooted. After errors on installing OTA update Lollipop, i tried installing directly the update.zip from xdafirmware. All has gone ok.

Now i'm trying to make a new root, but i can't. Any Idea ?? (tried with kingroot, framaroot and towel)

Thanx !
[Android General] gsmyth:
I think thats where everyone's at, awaiting a root exploit for Lollipop as all the usual methods dont seem to be working.
[Android General] code4bugs:
better kitkat rooted,disabling bloatware and using xposed or lollipop instead(at the moment of writing this)?
[Android General] gsmyth:
Probably down to personal preference, if you want root/want to remove or disable bloat then stick with kitkat. If you're not fussed about tinkering about with things happy sticking to stock, then just upgrade to lollipop.

Have you tried both kitkat and lollipop on your M810? I know that for many devices lollipop just isnt considered as battery friendly as kitkat and so with rooted kitkat you have the big advantage of being able to implement xposed or use greenify etc.

What battery life are you getting on average at the moment?
[Android General] code4bugs:
I've received it today, prerooted with bootloader locked(don't know if locked or not,but sending fastboot device in fastboot mode i receive <waiting for device> with driver recognized,instead of adb that is working). I installed xposed with a few modules and test for some days the battery after some recharge cycle.
[Android General] gsmyth:
Cool, mine should be arriving within the next couple of weeks. Would probably prefer if it wasnt pre-rooted but would like to be able to root with lollipop. I had a Oneplus One and had reverted to using a 4.4.4 ROM as it was great for battery life (like an extra couple of hours SOT over 2 days great!) and so its nice to have the option of a kikat ROM as I still think its a great version of android.

If you get a chance would you mind trying the modded OPO camera app at the below link? The OPO has (i think) the same camera module, but probably not going to work because its built for CM, but worth a shot as it has some great features.

Hello everyone.

Just some questions

1)Can we remove the bloatware without root ?

2)Is there support for english or greek language?

3)Any official site with official rom images?Could find only the India one http://www.infocusindia.co.in/M810-android-smartphone.php but could not spot a rom page.

4)Any hw issues so far ?

Thanks in advance
[Android General] gsmyth:
I havent received the device yet but I dont believe there is any way to remove bloat without root, you can possibly disable some of it in settings though.

This could also be an option, doesnt require root but does require a windows PC:

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294#post58069093

Not sure about supported languages.

I have searched but not found any official rom images, if you check needrom.com and search for infocus m810 you find some kitkat and a lollipop rom.

Not sure of any hw issues, although I've not heard anything.
[Android General] WearySky:
I was able to disable *most* of the apps I didn't want in Lollipop, so that's better than nothing. Haven't gotten a full day's use out of it yet to see how the battery life is (and my charger was disconnected last night, I didn't realize, so can't test a full day's usage today). Ahhh well.
[Android General] komruz:
Hi cici,

Hoping you can help, I have this phone not rooted on 4.4.2 and would like to update to lollipop but I get the error message. Please you would be able to provide a noob guide on how to update to lollipop. Which image file did you download from http://xdafirmware.com/infocus-m810 also how to install the update.

Sorry has been some time since I played with root and mods and now turned into a pro noob. Perhaps a vid will help us all out but I'm happy with instructions

Also if I stay on 4.4.2 any idea on how to root/unroot to remove bloat

Thanks in advance

Komi
[Android General] WearySky:
Infocus_M810_VNA-416C-0-00WW-A01-update.zip is the full lollipop ROM, you can flash it from the stock recovery (as opposed to the upgrade, which fails due to modified files that it doesn't like). Extract update.zip from it, and copy it to the root directory of your phone (either internal or external SD card), then reboot into recovery, and flash the file. I'm not sure if there's an easy keypress combo to boot into recovery, I always just enable Debug mode (Settings->About->Tap on build number a bunch of times until it enables developer mode, then go back and go into developer options to enable debug mode), and reboot with ADB (I use Minimal ADB and Fastboot as a quick and dirty ADB install). Oh, you'll also need ADB drivers if you don't have them already installed... The PDANet drivers work for me.

As for rooting on 4.4.2... I *believe* Kingroot is supposed to work on KitKat. That's what was used to pre-root mine before it arrived, at any rate.

Edited to add:

That app didn't work for me on Lollipop, at the very least. Black screen when it loads up, then can't access the camera in ANY camera app until I reboot. But the M810T has a Sony Exmor R sensor (not specified which one, but assuming it's actually 13mp I would imagine it's the IMX091PQ), whereas the OPO's sensor is an Exmor RS, the IMX214.

Only I have a hard reset and now has 11.06gb left!
[Android General] gsmyth:
What did you do before the hard reset that left you with low space? Where you flashing between Kitkat/lollipop?

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

Out of curiousityI had asked Infocus support in India regarding an Android 6.0 update, below is the response I received.
[Android General] Opty2:
The problem come out of the box! Unboxing, power on, and came with 1gb free.
[Android General] gsmyth:
Very strange! What was it running out of the box then kitkat? Where did you order it from? That partition size issue usually happens when flashing between versions of android, I've seen it in Nexus devices also, the factory reset/wipe usually fixes it thankfully.
[Android General] Opty2:
I bought from gearbest! I think that infocus modify the rom to the european market. Mine comes pre-rooted.
[Android General] gsmyth:
Yea there definitely seems to be a few that have been pre-modified. Im not sure if Infocus would do that though, as it appears to be causing issues with the OTA failing. I've ordered from TinyDeal, but will report back if its rooted/modded in any way when it arrives.
[Android General] code4bugs:
Is it possible to revert back to kitkat after update to lollipop?
[Android General] gsmyth:
I believe so, [MENTION=5456708]WearySky[/MENTION] did so and had the internal storage issue above but this was fixed by a factory reset/wipe.

[Android General] WearySky:
The NeedRom KitKat version has an infected calculator and YouTube app, I believe (and possibly more). I know the calculator was asking for root permissions, which I denied it (and then uninstalled). It also doesn't work with OTA updates, says there are no updates when you're in Kit Kat. When I flashed the full official KitKat (Infocus_M810_VNA-148A-0-00WW-A02 I believe) rom from XDAFirmware, wifi didn't work so that was no good. The Lollipop build seems to get VERY hot if I do even a small amount of gaming and it draws a huge amount of battery power (I played CSR racing for 15 minutes this morning and my battery dropped 15%), I never tried any gaming on KitKat so I can't say if it would be better or worse there. Also, Antutu crashes (the phone shuts down completely) in Lollipop, so I can't even see if Lollipop is actually any faster. Hrmph. I kinda wish I had kept it with whatever ROM originally shipped on it, now.
[Android General] code4bugs:
I returned to kitkat version from needrom uninstalling some apps with root uninstaller and doing a software reset after removed apps. Now it seems that there aren't infected applications(no traffic registered in mobile/wifi inbout /outbound or strange root requests). Xprivacy and LightWall could be enought with kaspersky. Lollipop has problem with wifi signal and battery drain on this device(and it is not optimized).Hope for unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.
[Android General] WearySky:
My only concern with this is that the Needrom version seems to completely break the OTA updates entirely. That is - it can't even seem to find the OTA updates at all. So what else has changed there, then?
[Android General] code4bugs:
Maybe something with build prop values
[Android General] s7yler:
Did anyone of you experience changes in the quality or volume of the microphone?

Because with Lollipop the mic volume seems a bit low.

With Lollipop I have no WiFi problems, WiFi works fine, also 10 meters away.

EDIT:

I now tried to revert back to KitKat and the mic sound quality seems better, WiFi is also working just fine.

But I also experienced the "only 1GB free" problem after flashing KK again, did a factory reset and all was good again.

EDIT2:

Okay I tried to flash the whole 5.0.2 again, and seems my mic problem was a single case, now it is fine just like in KK. No idea, but something must have gone wrong for me with the first update that I actually got wireless OTA. Staying on 5.0.2 now... my WiFi is fine.

[Android General] komruz:
Hi,

Once ADB is installed, can you please advise of the command prompts. from initial start (having update.zip file in the root of the phone memory)

I may stay on 4.4.2 due to the battery life. My one plus one has had poor battery life since the lollipop upgrade.

In my stock (rooted) KK, GPS works fine, fast and accuracy. In my test, shows 15 sattelites and 9 connect it.

[Android General] WearySky:
Ok, presuming you have Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed, and your ADB drivers, and have enabled USB debugging from the developer menu... Here's what you want to do:

1 - Run the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" shortcut that gets installed in your programs list. That should bring up a command prompt.

2 - Plug in your phone, it should give you a prompt asking if you want to allow debugging on this computer. Say yes. Note that if you don't get this prompt, you may have to unplug and plug your device back in after adb is running in step 3 (I can't recall if ADB needs to be running for your phone to prompt you for debug access or not).

3 - Run the following command, you should get a similar result:

adb devices

You should get this result:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
VNAGLMB4A1600917 device

4 - Run the following command, which should reboot you into recovery mode:

adb reboot recovery

5 - Once in recovery mode, simply choose "Apply update from internal storage", choose the file, and let it go. When done, reboot, you should be all good.
[Android General] gsmyth:
Is there a way to boot to recovery from being powered off i.e. holding volume up or down when powering on? If so what advantage is there to using ADB to if you're essentially just booting to recovery?
[Android General] Opty2:
Good post WearSky!

I try different combinations of buttons and recovery seems locked. But I forgot try the same but with the charger or USB connected to the phone. Maybe can work (like the meizu m2). If don't work with the cable, the only way is adb.
[Android General] WearySky:
I haven't been able to find any button combination that works, which is why I use ADB. Otherwise, I would have just said to use the button combination because it *is* annoying to have to take all those steps just to reboot into recovery. :) (edited to add: I always have ADB installed any way, for various other uses with other phones)
[Android General] code4bugs:
I also add for fastboot command(is locked but comes at handy sometimes)

fastboot -i 0x0489 [option]

for the options look at the help fastboot syntax typing only

fastboot
[Android General] gsmyth:
Thanks, i was thinking they were like nexus adb commands to flash the different partitions.
[Android General] WearySky:
Question for you - does Antutu work for you in 5.0.2? It shuts my phone off every time I try to run it.

And an addition (to others) - with the phone connected to my computer, I *was* able to get it to boot into recovery mode by turning it off, then holding down Vol Up + power, and letting go of power when the Infocus logo appeared (if you hold down power, it will just boot loop forever). It wasn't 100% reliable though, and this is with Lollipop flashed, don't know if it would be the same for KitKat.
[Android General] komruz:
Thanks :)
[Android General] s7yler:
Antutu works for me with 5.0.2

Here my results & Infos:

If your phone shuts down, I guess it could be because of overheating maybe? have you tried to let it cool all down for some time and try again?

And I also just used adb to reboot into recovery, works fine.
[Android General] WearySky:
Nope, not an overheating issue - my phone gets *way* hotter when I'm playing CSR racing (Antutu reporting 40 degrees celsius at the hottest so far, and physically warm to touch on the back)... And on a fresh boot, it still dies somewhere around the 30% mark into the test (and on immediate reboot, antutu temps reporting a healthy 32 celsius and doesn't feel hot at all on the back). This is with the full Lollipop build you posted on Needrom. Harumph. Think I'm going to go back to 4.4 again for now, just to test out stability and such there.
[Android General] s7yler:
I use the same 5.02 ROM as on needrom. What I would try if I were you:

1. Factory reset from the phone settings

2. In recovery wipe/clear cache and also full reset

3. Reflash the whole ROM again

4. If nothing helps, I guess your only option is to return to 4.4 again
[Android General] Opty2:
Can you post the link of the needrom page with lollipop rom that you installed? Thanks.

Otherwise, how I can made a full backup of my kitkat rom before to test Lollipop? My phone works fine now.

P.S: Microphone quality in calls seems poor (kitkat)

P.S2: The positive: you can record the call.

For youtube i confirm the problem of 720p max resolution(on kitkat), but i use a modified version from xda(works at max 1440p) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2213945

The only one rom for lollipop is at needrom -> m810t -> stock 5.0.2 http://www.needrom.com/download/infocus-m810/

You can do a full backup with adb or titanium root but i think nothing like nandroid without a custom recovery.

You can go back to kitkat downloading the m810t -> kitkat rom from needrom but beware that there are suspicious apps(calculator and youtube are the infected apps)

Rooted kitkat, yes.. This rom works quite smoothly, besides the viruses and mallware preinstalled, and youtube crashing at times.. But i do not know how to get rid of those ads opening in chrome..

Anyway, I tried to recalibrate the battery and it works quite well, when playing a 1080p movie from popcorn time, the upper back side does not get hot anymore, as well after playing asphalt 8 for 30 minutes..

So, which rom would be best at this time?
[Android General] gsmyth:
Think there's pros and cons of each, the pros for kitkat at the moment is that you've got root and so have more control over everything. Have you tried removing chrome with a root file browser and reinstalling from play as it sounds like there is some sort of browser hijacker present, are they random pop up ads, is there a preset homepage that's not the usual Google or Bing or whatever?
