Hey guys,i just update KK to Lollipop from needrom.

Now i have again the bloatware.Is it possible Root it again and is Xposed working,because on some Lollipop devices it doesn´t work.

I noticed that the notification LED doesn´t work either -.-

Edit:I am retarded i had LED notification off,but why is it by default off :(
[Android General] gsmyth:
No one has found a way to root lollipop for our M810 as of yet.
[Android General] Oswaldo4:
I deleted chrome.apk from system/app, than reinstalled it again from google play, but it does not work, the ads still appear. the homepage is as usual, just when touching the screen or opening a tab, a new tab opens, acctualy a site with some selling apps.. also two apps just install by them self, du battery saver and some fast search app or something.. avg antivirus found two adwares in com.android.calculator2, but i can not find it.. do you know if it is ok to delete it and where to find it?
[Android General] gsmyth:
Yes someone else mentioned that calculator and the YouTube app both seemed to be malware, most at Xda are suspicious of those du battery saver/memory cleaner apps,would def remove. You've checked both system/app and system/priv-app? What about trying kaspersky anti virus also? There must be another app hijacking the browser session. Is there a pre-load folder anywhere that might be hiding the nasty stuff? If it's removed then you restart or wipe it gets installed again if the preload stuff still exists.

Hi,

I have received this Infocus M810t ten days ago, bought from Amazon.it and shipped from Shen Zhen (private seller named "Rubility", same as on Amazon fr/es/de. The phone now is no longer available).

It has arrived with KK 4.4.2, rooted with KingRoot, pre installed malware/adware and malicious ads additional page opened toghether with every new link (Chrome, Firefox and even Opera mini).

Antivirus detects 1 malware (com.android.calculator2, 1 process and 5 services like: MsgAdsService etc etc) and 2 adware (torchlight and another one which I don't remember name). "update" app (little green square icon with down arrow) opens several connections to ads.alibaba.com server, and the only way I found to stop ads pages in the browser it's block every app's connection (allowing only browsers, google play and google service) with AppTraffic Control.

Same "/hidden/data/CDA/100A0/CDA/setting.xml has unexpected contents" error with OTA Lollipop update. GSM takes too much time to switch from/to roaming resulting in no signals for hours. Wi-Fi, GPS and all other things works for me with KK.

I have now upgraded to 5.0.2 with stock ROM (VNA-416C-D-0-00WW-A01-UPDATE.ZIP, about 1,1GB) downloaded from official infocusphone webpage (Taiwan's website version):

infocusphone.com/tw/%e6%9c%8d%e5%8b%99%e6%94%af%e6%8f%b4%ef%bc%8dm810

(add triple-w-dot at beginning, click the third button in the middle of the page to open download tab)

(latest download link at the bottom of the page. The first 179MB update links on the page I don't know what it's for)

"ADB boot recovery", factory reset and cache wipe before flash VNA-416C-D-0-00WW-A01-UPDATE.ZIP from an external SD card.

Phone reboot after about 5 minutes showing new black splash screen with bootloader-hacked-complaint-message at the top, stay locked for 2 minutes and then starts update 188 apps, then runs Lollipop successfully.

On Lollipop seems to me that it's all good so far: GSM switch to roaming it's now very fast, no malware/adware, no root, good Wi-Fi signal, GPS not yet tested.

My 2 cents, thank you all for the precious informations and please forgive my grammar and my non-technical/noob words . :)

PS: original Lollipop ROM that comes from infocusphone Taiwan website has only 10 languages included: English, Espanol, Filipino, Francais, Portugues, Chinese, Japanese, etc etc. I had to install morelocale2 app to enable italian language. I think this is the reason why it comes pre-rooted with KK. Malware/adware it's just an additional gift from reseller.
[Android General] marsian0:
If your phone is rooted, install rom toolbox, then open app manager, inspect system apps, if any suspicious, just freeze it, if nothing brakes then its safe to uninstall it with the same app. Some apps are located in /system/priv-app or /system/vendor.
[Android General] ssuds:
Were you able to make any progress on unlocking basebands? If band 4 LTE can be unlocked on this, I'd pick it up in a heartbeat.
[Android General] Opty2:
I don't hace any problem of popups por ads! I run KK and mine come from gearbest.

I disabled all the bloatware (facebook, wechat...) before activate WiFi con TVE first run. And I think that is the key to avoid the ads.

The phone is awesome. Screen, build quality....the only problem, chrome has a little lag
[Android General] WearySky:
Haven't even tried yet, not really sure where to start if I'm being honest. Lol.
[Android General] vladi178:
Can you please explain what you exactly did to get right partition sizes? I am at lollipop now, which was flashed after this "weird" KK rom from Needrom via fastboot. I flashed then Lollipop via stock recovery but after that I have only 1 GB as internal storage (from which I have 0MB free space and 15 GB appears to be System).

I am not sure stock recovery has partitioning options.

Thanks.
[Android General] gsmyth:
You need to factory reset/wipe to reformat the partitions.
[Android General] vladi178:
Done, worked well for me.

Thanks a lot :)
[Android General] s7yler:
Just install "Link2SD", and scroll down the list, there you will find calculator etc. press and hold on it, and then choose uninstall and it will be gone (in a correct way) from the system, very easy!
[Android General] Opty2:
My ROM (prerooted, kitkat) I think that has a free adware calculator and youtube.

I check with a lot of play store apps (avg, malwarebytes, etc...) and seems stay clean. When switch on the phone at the first time, don't turn on the wifi or google account. Disabled (or unistalled with link2sd+root) all the apps like wechat, chinesse...) And when you finish to clean all the apps, put wifi and account. There is no problem with ads, malware.

My Infocus runs very well, there is only one problem: chrome runs a lot of lag (scrolling, swithc beetween tabs...). Please can you check this?

I thinks that try unistalled and installed from google play.
[Android General] gsmyth:
I've seen someone else mention this, have you tried Chrome beta or Chrome Dev? As alternatives I usually install Dolphin browser or Lightning browser which always seem a bit more lightweight than Chrome.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.dev

You can also allocate more memory to Chrome by using the mod (Give Chrome more memory) at the below link, worth a try:

http://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-speed-up-chrome-on-android/
[Android General] Opty2:
Thank you very much gsmyth! I try resizing memory from chrome /flags but no results :(

I am thinking update to Lollipop. I download the rom in my microsd.

How I easily come back to KitKat if Lollipop don't work fine? The process will be the same that KitKat->Lollipop?

Thanks
[Android General] Oswaldo4:
Thank you guys for those good advices. Today I flashed lollipop. I just put the zip file in the phones internal memory, tried the volume and power button, while connected via usb, but didn't work, the phone just turned off. After restart it asked to install the update, so I installed it. After 15 long minutes a screen appeard, with a text: Your phone has ever been rooted. This may result in system instability.. etc.. The boot.img verification failed, the boot.img has been trempar.

I was kinda stupid, i didn't unroot the phone before.. Then everithing went smoth, just some bloatware present.. This rom works very perfectly, also some big improvments in call quality with mobilevoip.. Anyway, if the phone is connected via usb and usb debugging enabled, it seems there is no need to install from recovery, but just from internal memory.. It could work for the ota update as well, i dont know, just guessing. The battery life also seems to be quite good. And the backside does not get hot..

Also it recharge very quickly 40% in one hour, but with a samsung charger, have not tried the stock charger, the adapter seems quite dangerous to use..

I think this phone is quite impressive..
[Android General] cisi:
Hello!! Running Lollipop and waiting for root solution, I have another question... Is it possible double tap to wake or similar? Tnx
[Android General] Opty2:
In this moment I am updating the infocus to lollipop. In a few minutes inform about the new system.

Also, with KK the phone runs great.

The phone includes doble tap sensor but no present un settings. Maybe with xposed, but in this moment there is no root un lollipop :(
[Android General] WearySky:
No repartitioning required. You just need to do a "wipe data/factory reset" from within the stock recovery. Doing a factory reset from within ANdroid itself doesn't seem to do the trick (at least, it didn't for me), it had to be done from within recovery.
[Android General] Opty2:
I update to Lollipop and now the phone runs very well

- Antutu score moving 40.000 to 43.000.

- Youtube bug (only reachs 720p) has been solved. Now I can play in 1080p.

- Chrome runs very smooth, perfect. In KK was a disaster for me (lags).

- It's more beatiful haha

- Update firmware of camera.

It's PERFECT but....Wifi don't work properly for me. If you separate the phone 2 meter off the router, disconect :(.

Maybe the update "VNA-416C-0-00WW-A01-416B-0-00WW-A01-update" can solve this.

I just need to try the battery. I wish that they performs in the same way of KK (average of 4 screen hours).
[Android General] code4bugs:
what is the name of the update you used to upgrade to lollipop?
[Android General] Opty2:
I download from official page infocusphone.com

The name is in the following pic:

Do you think that is the same of needroom? Maybe I can try from needrom.

There is an update (180mb) from the official page: http://www.infocusphone.com/tw/服務支援－m810

Please check it, load the web page and click at the center (blue color), on the right button.

Thank you

How to do upgrade to lollipop?

Hi guys, im a noob, I received my infocus m810 today from china, its running kitkat full of bloatware, and i simply would like to install normal lollipop, i dont care about root or anything. The OTA doesnt work, gives me the same error you guys have. I have downloaded the lollipop firmware from the infocus taiwan website, put it on a 32 gb sd card which is in my phone, i can get into the standard recovery that came with the phone but it aborts instaallation almost immediately. Could anybody let me know if there is a zip file that i can simply put on my sdcard inside my phone and install it from the standard recovery? Or are there other simple ways to install lollipop? sorry for the noob questions but i dont understand how any of you got to upgrade to Lollipop.
[Android General] Opty2:
First, factor y reset/wipe cache. Then wipe cache partition and finally update from sd (download the big zip, about 1gb)

Sure you have unroot the phone.
[Android General] WearySky:
I believe that just updates from 416B to 416C (which you already have).
[Android General] Opty2:
You are right!

My wifi problems dissapear! I don't know how I did but now runs perfect, no disconnect and no problems with the signal when go far from router.

I adjust in advanced settings from wifi manually "2.4Ghz band" and reboot. I think that's the key.

With Lollipop runs very very smooth, fast. It's a great upgrade. It converts in a 10/10 phone. The best quality/price that you can choice in 2015, no doubt.

GPS signal is a little poor when you drive in a car (you need to place in the front windows), but no problem in a bike, trekking...

In KK occurs the same with GPS.

Also, I discover a lovely function in the settings/apps menu. When you tip in the three points (top right on screen), you will see an option to change the installing directory to the microSD.

Another advantage of lollipop: you can disable the 4g network (no available on KitKat), and save a lot of battery because the phone don't search and change continuously beetwen 3g/4g.

In a few hours that I am trying Lollipop, battery has the same perfomance that KK. Very good news. In this moment, the system runs for 16 hous, with 2 hours and 30 minutes of screen, and it is on 54%.
[Android General] gsmyth:
Can't see there being any more major updates for this device (unfortunately). Although the phone was only launched in India in July, so maybe they will update one more time. The one feature from 6.0 that would be great to have is flex storage. Google finally made having an sd card option a lot more useful. Even though they essentially moved away from providing them in their nexus handsets a number of years back.

[Android General] code4bugs:
if not a major update from infocus, at least unlock bootloader for letting users make your own updates :D
[Android General] Opty2:
There is a lot of mid-range phones (~250$) that wouldn't update to 6.0.

This cost 150$, its a low range price...
[Android General] mbamg:
I'm interested in getting this phone. Does it still heat up easily after updating to Lollipop? Also, I'm surprised that no one has asked about this, but does this phone have a light sensor?
[Android General] evenegas:
I Have a problem.

I just installed the 5.0.2 rom from needrom.com and works great, the only issue are with 4G connection that was lost and my phone just only connects at 3.5G.

Can anyone give a "light" about this situation?.

Thanks
[Android General] s7yler:
Did you try to search manually (instead of automatic) for the networks on the phone? does it find 4G networks? if yes, can you manually connect to them?

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

Light sensor for what? but anyway it has, when screen brightness set to automatic, it will dim the screen if your in a dark room. The phone has 24 sensors built-in according to CPU X.

The phone can get a little warm sometimes, but nothing seriously - and clearly not enough to make it a problem. In games it run fine and stable. Never had any crashes on mine.

Here is my full in-depth review of the InFocus M810, I think I have covered all parts in my video.

Including that there is an option to choose install location, info about built-in sensors, NFC test, Google Cardboard test etc. And I have no WiFi problems! GPS was a bit slow, but after it got a lock it was stable for me.

Any other suggestion? thanks
[Android General] mbamg:
One thing that's been nagging me. This phone has been selling for $350 US in China since last year. Why is it all of sudden being sold at half price?
[Android General] gsmyth:
Probably because its over a year old now and they can. The phone is manufactured in Taiwan but its a U.S. company so perhaps they can afford to cut the price. The difference in a year also means that its competing with other sub $200 handsets that are offering newer hardware (finger print scanners, 64bit CPUs, etc). I dont think its suddenly totally outdated as its still very decent capable hardware (and build quality), but a year in smartphone terms is a is a long time. I've been scouring reviews and user opinion and I can't see anything that jumps out as a massive flaw (theres pros and cons with every device) and so it does seem like good value for money at the current price.
[Android General] mbamg:
I'm pretty sure the phone is manufactured in mainland China by FIH mobile and Foxconn just has the right to use the InFocus brand, but your explanation seems plausible. There are very few ARM-based smartphone processors that are more powerful than the 801, and most of them aren't made by Chinese companies.

It's weird when I go back to Taiwan and get bombarded with advertisements on electronics. Always trying to justify one new feature that may not even be relevant and selling the thing underspecced for several hundreds more than it would be in Canada and the US. Guess the same applies to mainland China. If the public was more informed there, then prices on these might not drop nearly as much they have now.

Interestingly InFocus offers the M812 in Taiwan, which still has the 801 but comes with 3GB of RAM and a 2900mAh battery. I don't know why anyone would buy these going for NT $10,888 though.

The M810 goes for NT 9,888 there too.

Link if interested: https://store.infocusphone.com/goods/182.html, https://store.infocusphone.com/goods/177.html

I've ordered the M810t from gearbest through free auto shipping. Does anyone know the average shipping time to Canada and the United States?
[Android General] ViNS_EJ9:
3G\4G problem

Hi!

I have a problem with M810T phone recieved from Pandawill.

The problem is mobile data is only EDGE. No 3G (with my sim-card) and 3/4G (with another sim-card).

I tried stock 4.4.2 from needrom and 5.0.2 from oficcial site with no success. But sometimes 3G and H/H+ indicators appear on the screen and I cant understand what is a problem.

P.S. Sorry for my English.
[Android General] Opty2:
This phone not included the 3g 900 band and 4g 800 band. Maybe in your zone there is a "must have" and doesn't connect it.

For example in my town, I don't have problems with mobile data.
[Android General] ViNS_EJ9:
I tried another sim card with LTE on 2100 band, IT works!

In our town (Moscow) 3g band is 900, you right. It was my mistake to buy this phone with my mobile operator :(
[Android General] Oswaldo4:
Is that body case from gearbest ok (can not post a link), or there are better ones?
[Android General] Opty2:
It's a pity :( It's a great phone.

P.s: The battery charge is very slooow
[Android General] apaca:
Try using different charger. I use an old Samsung tablet charger and it is great. I dunno what Amp it is.
[Android General] WearySky:
Have you checked your APN settings?

It's *really* variable, depending on where you are in Canada or the US, and which carrier they use, and how busy customs is. To the Toronto area, for example, PostNL usually takes between 2-4 weeks. Royal Mail seems to be quicker, sometimes arriving in under 2 weeks.
[Android General] evenegas:
Yes checked... It was on 4G before the update to 5.0.2
[Android General] zenfactor:
I've made the same stupid error :silly: . Now that I'm with Lollipop should I re-flash Kit Kat, unroot phone and then update again to have a clean bootloader? I mean, does the bootloader come back pristine removing the root privileges from the KitKat ROM (the ones with KingRoot preinstalled)?
[Android General] Opty2:
I' ve made the same error but I think that the phone works properly.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

In aliexpress you can find the original case, that it's superb.
[Android General] zenfactor:
Yes, my phone work properly too. I'm just worried about future updates (if ever there will be), apps like Google pay that should check all the chain of trust, and possible exposure to malware......I'm not sure about this things, I'm just asking if someone know more than me about what a corrupted bootloader imply or worth worry about......

[Android General] mbamg:
It seems like there are at least three versions of the "original case", made by a Chinese company called GoodKase. The ones on aliexpress can also be found on InFocus' official Taobao storefront: http://world.tmall.com/item/4230186...954.8.er85P3&id=42301868582&scene=taobao_shop

The InFocus Taiwan Online Store offerings: https://store.infocusphone.com/goods/90.html

https://store.infocusphone.com/goods/94.html

Those are more commonly found in the Taiwanese online retailers. I'd love to get my hands on the orange one.

The question about the pricing comes up again as even on the Chinese storefront the official price is 1,999 yuan. Link here: http://world.tmall.com/item/4214739...ne=taobao_shop&sku_properties=5919063:6536025

On the other hand there are plenty of offerings by other Taobao sellers for half the price. What gives?
[Android General] gsmyth:
I ordered a cheap gel type case from gearbest, along with a glass screen protector, both are on back order so still waiting for it to be processed. Should be picking my M810 up today.

http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_236150.html
[Android General] WearySky:
I recall seeing at least one of those before... Wary of trying them just yet. Maybe this weekend before I do my final review.
[Android General] gsmyth:
So, just picked my 810 up and it's great, lovely looking phone, great size. It was already set up I.e didn't go through the setup wizard, it has king user root app and noticed calculator was running in the background under settings>applications, so it's definitely a dodgy app. Haven't set anything up yet, going to use the super user app [MENTION=6013588]code4bugs[/MENTION] linked to later. Did you just install it, have root and then remove the King app and the other suspicious ones?

Don't have my laptop at the moment so just going to go with rooted kitkat for now. There's a couple of root apps i like having so that's fine.
[Android General] WearySky:
Definitely remove that calculator app - it asks for root privileges, so obviously there's something dodgy going on there. I could never get the SuperSu Me app working to get rid of KingUser, so I just left it. But I'm going to update back to Lollipop this afternoon, as my wifi performance on KitKat has been sub-par compared to what it was when I was on Lollipop. So bye bye root :(
[Android General] gsmyth:
What are you using for root at the moment on kitkat then?
[Android General] WearySky:
The KingUser app, I just left it there. Actually, technically, because SuperSu Me screwed up my root, I had to re-root with KingRoot and it left a differently-named (KingRoot vs KingUser, if memory serves) app in its place.
[Android General] gsmyth:
Right so you ended up using the kingroot app from Xda? Where u not able to remove the pre installed king user from the /system directory? Or was it hidden well?
[Android General] WearySky:
SuperSu Me broke the pre-installed KingUser, so when I installed KingRoot (not sure if I got it from XDA, or where I got it from), it seemed to remove/replace the pre-installed Kinguser app.
[Android General] gsmyth:
Do you still have your downloaded copy of King root apk? If so could you share it?
[Android General] WearySky:
I don't - I just wiped my phone like an hour ago, unfortunately. BUT, digging through my Chrome history (yay for synched history between devices!) it would appear that I did, indeed, download it from XDA
[Android General] gsmyth:
Thanks for checking much appreciated.
[Android General] Opty2:
I write a review in a spanish forum. If you want to know more about the phone may be interested, send me a private message and send you traslate with google traslator (I don't know if I can post links from another forums here).

How many screen hours do you reachs on lollipop? Mine has 4-4.30 hours.
