Finally I've build fresh kernel version from visi0nary's repo by myself with [MENTION=3784300]BlueFlame4[/MENTION] kind help. :D

Netmatrix's patch really works - PhilZ 6 recovery became fully touchable with this fresh kernel! :good:

Here it is (on Google Drive)

I just flashed to my P6000 Pro using the Flashify app. Touch works fine, and it seems to also mount SD card correctly.

Great work!!

Could you write up some steps you took to compile the kernel and pack the recovery img to help others?

rom suggestions

Hi,

can someone prefer a rom for this smartphone? Usually I would keep the stockrom on this device (because it's a gift for my mother in law) but the playstore crashes randomly. So I thought about fixing this with a newer stock rom or custom rom, but non of them has a good discription on what is working and whats not or even a changelog...

So any suggestions? :confused:

regards :)
[Android General] blahmartinblah:
I used stock ROM for a few months and didn't have any issues with the Play store crashing. I still consider it the best ROM.

Maybe try a factory reset?
[Android General] lion567:
It seems to be not a ROM but Play Store issue. Take a look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2733038

Also you can try different version of Google Play Store and Google Play Services

Nice work!

Is SD card mounted? I recall that was the main issue I had with the previously available version of TWRP.
[Android General] lion567:
External and internal SD cards correctly mounted in TWRP and you can use both for backup. And you can see both of them on computer via MTP. If root of internal (emulated) card on your phone is /data/media (no multiuser), you shouldn't have folder /data/media/0/ - TWRP is trying to guess which folder to mount as root for internal flash and if it sees /data/media/0/ it mounts /data/media/0/ as internal flash (/sdcard).

Network 3G/4G Problem

I have a problem with the new Elephone P6000 pro 3G RAM.

The problem is connecting to 3G / 4G network.

The device works well only on 2G network Internet, in case only 2G connection is sellected. In all other cases, such as the default mode 4G / 3G / 2G (auto) device is searching network for a long time, it can connect 3G and 4G, but with internet connection not working.

It is interesting that application 'Network signal info' indicates that the device is connected to the internet, but connection is still not working.

List of things I did to resolve the problem:

I tried three difrent sim cards, and it is always the same problem. APN settings are definitely correct, and 2G Internet works without any problems.

In Engenering mode, I tried to change all sorts of settings,

Selecting Network, Fast Dormancy ...

I tested both ROM, 20151031, and the 20150910, also custom Flyme OS 4.5.4., DCU v12.1 and IUNI OS, and problem is always the same.

I also tried manually to change file: 'modem_1_lwg_n.img'

Also, sometimes even when it says that the device is connected to the network, I can not make a call.

WiFi and other things works without any problems.

Does anyone have a similar problem?

And of course the solution?:D

Hello, I've bought a p6000 pro (3GB) and unfortunally it has a bug with wifi in the stock firmware. It doesn't reconnect in standby and has issues with dhcp (also after wipe). Has someone had similar problems? Could an stock rom update to 2015.10.31 solve this? Thanks in advance.

It`s not rooted

Hi, I have the Elephone P6000 Pro 2GB, which should have come rooted. But unfortunately it hasn`t.

When I try to install SuperSU, the installation fails.

I can`t install any other SU app either.

Could somebody please help me? Thanks

You have to flash custom recovery in order to install above mentioned su.ZIP. Take a look at post #52 in this thread for PhilZ Touch 6 recovery or at post #70 for TWRP 2.8.7.0 .
[Android General] emece67:
Hi all,

Today my P6000 downloaded a new OTA upgrade: 20160something. After upgrading the phone no longer works, it does not boot and the boot animation lasts forever.

It was rooted, but the recovery was the factory one (no CWM, TWRP and the like).

So be aware of this prior to applying this upgrade.

Regards.

Lost root

hi,

i have lost (pre-)root during last custom rom install - i had tried reinstall stock roms, but root is still lost.

custom recovery is gone, too. instead of stock recovery i got just some green robot with red triangle and sign-!...

what can i do? im over root genius, kingoroot, flasify (without root i cannot boot into recovery with it)

so any idea?
[Android General] mdddd:
Hi emece67 & all, i registerd because i have now a quite lifeless P6000 Pro and i am stuck now. yesterday I and a friend had the exact same situation (root, factory recovery, OTA update lead to the never ending boot animation, ran the whole night). The previous two OTA updates worked flawlessly. While his smartphone could be repaired via flashing the stock firmware with sp flash tool, mine is now totally dead. that means black screen, no sign of life, also no connect sound when plugging into usb port of a pc. i tried removing the battery and plugging in the usb cable from the pc while pressing volume up or volume down. but the pc does not detect a device. drivers seem to be alright, because i flashed the friend's phone with this setup. we swapped batteries, they are both alright and full (4.2v).

When connecting to usb while pressing one of the volume buttons and holding the phone directly to the ear, i can hear a quiet chirping sound like from a switching regulator, so i suspect that somehow my preloader.bin got corrupted. Does anybody know how to fix this? Is there a XCOLO pin in the P6000 Pro which other android phones have, in case the dealer does not want to give warranty?

Best regards
[Android General] emece67:
Finally managed to bring it back to life with these:

Use SP Flash tool to install previous OS version

Re-apply OTA update

Use SP Flash tool to install TWRP recovery

Use TWRP to install SuperSU & busybox, thus rooting the phone

Use SP Flash tool to install previous recovery

After all these the device works again, but one of the "features" of this OTA update is that the device no longer vibrates. Does anybody also suffer from this?

Regards.

Hi everyone

since the last OTA things have been very bad.

youtube is now a pre-installed system app which is 5 years out of date and buggy. it has permissions to download apps and delete apps.

My phone keeps downloading Apus and DU Battery saver in the background.

Everytime i use chrome i get popups to bad and fraudulant websites

i have never rooted my phone, but now when i try to. I can't.

flashify freezes so i cant cant flash recovery, supersu can't find the binaries.

I have no idea what to do.

any help please???

o i also got banned for bringing these issues up on the elephone forum.
[Android General] gedm:
Hi emece67,

are you able to provide some links or a bit more detail on how you installed TWRP. e.g. which TWRP file did you use? Can I just use the Scatter file that came with the official ROM? Do I need to unlock the boot loader?

Thanks
[Android General] emece67:
I've also noted such behaviour since last OTA. The popups show not only with Chrome, but also with any other browser you use (I've tested the built-in one, Chrome, Firefox & Opera). Reinstalling the OS from scratch cures it, but if you reapply the last OTA the behaviour returns.

This is really UNACCEPTABLE, I broke this piece of sh*t and stored it in the bin. No more Elephone for me, definitely.

p.s. I've seen just now you were banned in the Elephone forum. I expect they will also ban me.
[Android General] logan_sd:

Its annoying. Its a good phone with good specs for the price.

Here same problem. After updating via OTA, when I navigate throw any browser it is redirecting me to fraudulent websites.

I have restore the phone, I have installed malwarebytes, avast,etc and it continue the same .

More people with the same problema?

Thanks
[Android General] logan_sd:
My only solution was to flash custom ROM. They offered no help at the elephone forum and even delete questions about those issues.
[Android General] onbermejo:
I have send an email to my reseller, he answer me. I have send and email to Elephone, they do NOT answer me. I am thinking to make a website only to inform about this, and if we dont have answer to tell everybody NOT to buy elephone.

Whatever, which ROM are you using? It is working everything?
[Android General] logan_sd:
Yeah its a good phone for a good price. Its not the resellers fault. They are in the same boat as us.

Elephone are just greedy and are probably getting paid to install these apps and and redirect our browsers. I just don't trust what info they were collecting because some system apps had to many permissions they did not need.

I flashed the dcu ROM. Everything is working fine. I didn't like the launcher it had so I downloaded nova from the play store and it looks great.

Only downside is the battery runs out a little quicker than the stock ROM. I hope someone can code a clean version of the stock ROM.

If elephone ota marshmallow in the coming month there is a chance this malware will still be on it, so I hope someone cleans up the marshmallow when it comes out.

My P6000 Pro arrived and is all set up. I've done the updates and all is current. The Build number: ALPS.L1.MP3.V2_NB6753.65U.L1_P22

However, it is not rooted. I tried using SuperSU and get this error message:

"There is no SU binary installed, and SU cannot install it. This is a problem!

If you just upgraded to Android 5.0 you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"

I've cruised forums and have tried numerous root tools. They all say the same thing: We can't root this device", even tools *claiming* to root 94% of all devices.

I have some fear of flashing new gizmos, as I know folks who have bricked expensive phones doing it. I'm not a phone geek but can follow clear tutorials.

I like this phone but need SU access to manage which apps are running in the background because it seems to be a battery hog, and to get rid of the crap.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Android General] logan_sd:
Its different depending on the ROM you choose. So choose your ROM first
[Android General] El Jefe del Caribe:
I'm OK with the stock ROM.

What are the superior ROMS that make the process simple and fool proof?
[Android General] logan_sd:
I am no expert. I found using the flash tool with the dcu ROM easiest. The instructions were easy to follow.

More less remove the battery, load the drivers open the flash tool pick the scatter file and hit a few buttons and it was done. Its a nice ROM once I downloaded a better launcher only thing is the battery drains very quickly.

The reason I suggest a ROM loaded with a flash tool and scatter file is because the ota removed root and recovery so its hard to change the ROM.

Now that I have the dcu ROM it has good recovery options now so loading other ROMs will be even easier.

Elephone didn't make things straight forward with their recent updates
[Android General] lion567:
CM 12.1 from [MENTION=6236982]Deepflex[/MENTION] has embedded root with root access management embedded in Settings - Development menu. Also there is no bloatware from Elephone in this ROM and you can choose minimal (nano) GApps package to get rid of unwanted Google apps.

DCU v12.1 20.10.2015 ROM (also from [MENTION=6236982]Deepflex[/MENTION]) is quite good, unfortunately it lacks Google security updates and [MENTION=6236982]Deepflex[/MENTION] stopped further development of it.

Hi All.

Just flashed my phone via SP Flash Tool with a stock ROM from Elephone 20150910.

IMEI numbers were lost in the process.

After rooting and going to the engineering menu and used the “AT +EGMR=1,7,”IMEI_1″ method
