Thanks again, not off to the best of starts, the first stage of the Ulefone instructions tell you to run install.bat, I can't find that, have show hidden files enabled too. Found a windows xp-7 folder with a driverinstall.exe which I have installed along with Universal ABD driver I found, hopefully next stage goes as planned!

I make the rash assumption that I have to select download for it to run? I have done that but nothing happens. The phone is connected and unlocked

I have tried both download only and also firmware upgrade in the drop down menu.

Thanks for that, I have done that but still nothing, it just shows the battery symbol as if the phone is charging.

then you didn't install the drivers correctly...

when i was doing it on beta 27/04 i had to flash twrp twice, first time it showed ok, but recovery didnt start, second flash helped. so try flashing once more when not starting

Please use 5.1604 version of flashtool. Do twrp flashing two times.

Do not use sp multiportas written in some guides

[Device Reviews and Information] bepari220:
still the same :(

already tried :

1. Latest SP Flash Tools(5.1612)

2. Flashing with both scatter(in official MM and in TWRP folder)

3. Did a format all + download.

4. Flashed TWRP twice.

can't even root this thing without a custom recovery(unless there's some other methods for rooting) :crying:
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
So i'm really sorryy, many users report to me that everything work with last official marshmallow 64 bit and my twrp flashed on it.

It's a matter of drivers? Or i don't know what else..

Sent by Mi5 64Gb
[Device Reviews and Information] bepari220:
don't worry about it...

do you know any other rooting method for newer mtk 64bit chips ? that would be helpful :D

actually that's why I wanted to flash TWRP....I don't really do anything else in recovery :p
[Device Reviews and Information] LJ1981:
What I did:

1. Flashed official Mm

2. Flashed Twrp (with twrp scatter. Mistake)

3. Boot up the phone. After boot powered off.

4. Tried to boot to recovery. Didn't work.

5. Power off and flashed twrp with rom scatter. There was error msg at the end of flashing.

6. Booted to recovery. Flashed SuperSU, Xposed etc.

Make sure you use this twrp: http://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-3-mm-64-bit/

It's the only working twrp version (for 64 bit roms).
[Device Reviews and Information] bepari220:
is this the error you got in SPFT ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Hemphiz:
Yea. still not working... works fine on the beta build just not the 14/5/16 build. flashed it many times with the rom scatter and twrp scatter.. no luck...
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
Please could you help me install them correctly. The Ulefone instructions tell you to run install.bat but I couldn't find that file, all I found in the folder that they instruct you to go to driverautoinstaller was 2 other folders, one was windows7, which I have and there was a file called driverinstall.exe, which I ran. There was also a file called universal_abd_driver.msi which I ran too.

Could you tell me where to get the correct driver files from and how to install them?
[Device Reviews and Information] Hemphiz:
have you rebooted comp? my pc doesnt pickup my phone while its powered off. the only way i can tell is if the SP flash tool flashes ok. but if i go to "my computer" it still doesnt appear in devices. remember to click "download" on the flash tool before you cconnect your phone
[Device Reviews and Information] ajp558:
I am also getting the same problem as Hemphiz when I try to flash the TWRP MM 64 bit recovery. When I try to boot the phone into recovery I just get a blue screen strobing rapidly as if it is trying and failing to display the TWRP screen. To get out of that I have to hold the powder key down until the phone switches off.

I note that many posts are saying to flash the TWRP MM 64 bit recovery using the new scatter file from Ulefone today. The new scatter file looks for an image file called recovery.img but the TWRP recovery image file is called Ulefone Power TWRP 3 Marshmallow.img so, is everyone renaming the img file to recovery.img before flashing, or editing the scatter file? I can't see what the difference is between the 2 scatter files for the recovery partition aside from that.

In any event, no matter what options I try I cannot run TWRP after flashing. Also, if I just do the full flash of the new ulefone_Power_Android 6.0_20160514 and don't bother with flashing TWRP, I still can't load the Ulefone recovery, I just get the green droid on its side with an exclamation mark inside a red triangle. So maybe there is something wrong with the partitions for those of us having problems getting TWRP to work.

Cheers,

AJP
[Device Reviews and Information] Krauthaus:
So, i used the SP Flash Tool. First i got a PMT Error, so i performed "format hole flash exept bootloader". After this i was able to flash the 6.0 rom. Then i tried to apply the twrp with the 6.0 Scatter rom, this was a mistake. So i just downloaded megs latest mm twrp and flashed it normally. Everything went fine!

The app zazaremote caused a problem with the game "dominations". The games anticheat system xingcode 3 detected the app as a hack and refused to start the game. So i deinstalled zazaremote, took a similar one and everything is fine! :D
[Device Reviews and Information] Hemphiz:
i cant work it out but its annoying as hell as im not gonna restore a backup and then have to reflash 6.0 and then try twrp again. so in the meantime my phone is just OFF
[Device Reviews and Information] Krauthaus:
Some other said they was sucessfull at the second flash, so might this solved my problem. But the error at the first try (with the new 6.0 scatter) said that the tool did not wrote any data. Stay on, i am sure you will figure it out! :D
[Device Reviews and Information] Hemphiz:
No worries. Reflashed the beta and restored. I'll just wait till there's a concrete fix
[Device Reviews and Information] ajp558:
I tried using the "Format" tab of the SP Flash Tool to "Format whole flash exept Bootloader" as per Krauthaus, before reflashing the new 140516 firmware and then the TWRP Power MM 64Bit. Unfortunately it still couldn't load TWRP recovery and I just get the blue flashing screen. That method also lost my two IMEIs.

I have therefore given up on the new 6.0 ROM for now, reflashed the Beta 6.0 ROM and then TWRP Power MM 64Bit, used TWRP to restore a backup I made earlier today, and then manually recreated my IMEI numbers.

also my phone is booting now ill let you know know how it goes
[Device Reviews and Information] Hemphiz:
Turn off the smartphone. Cable is not connected to the computer.

Connect your phone to a computer cable. The operating system detects a new device.

Disconnect the cable from the computer.

Extract the ROM to a folder.

Run SP FLASH TOOL (FLASH.exe)

Click on Scatter- Loading and find the MT6753_Android_scatter.txt file in the ROM folder (it should now automatically start to load the firmware)

Once it has. Toggle the setting to either "download only or Firmware upgrade" ensure all the boxes below are ticked. Then click the "Green download arrow" (it'll go a greyish color when's it's loaded and ready)

Connect your phone. Allow it to apply the firmware. When done, you'll get a confirmation box.

Unplug your phone and boot.
[Device Reviews and Information] DanTheLemonMan:
I also recommend to anyone who hasn't done it, record your IMEI before you do it, because I lost mine during the update (fortunately I also recorded it before hand) and adding it back in engineering mode is easy, also it appears to work flawlessly!
[Device Reviews and Information] needhelp_l7:
how to record my IMEI ?? (step by step walkthrough please)
[Device Reviews and Information] bepari220:
just write both your imei somewhere(or in a text file),

or you don't have to write it if you still have the box in which the phone came in...

[Device Reviews and Information] DanTheLemonMan:
You can find it in, settings, about, IMEI and simply write it down on paper, I personally stored mine in a .txt in my cloud. From there entering *#*#3646633#*#* in dialer to get to engineering mode after updating your phone to add the imei back, if you need more help just ask :)

[Device Reviews and Information] zwiebug:
Someone could flash the official MM rom, make a backup in twrp and post that backup on google drive for us to download. we then could flash/restore this MM backup for those who do not want to go through all the spftool hassle and whatnot. of course a working twrp for MM would be a neccessity prior to restoring.

There's also a problem with Google Now on Tap, which is the main reason I wanted android 6.

The phone opens the recent apps page when you hold down the home button by default, and I can't find a way to change this.

Has anybody got it to work?

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

I've noticed that overall the device is a lot smoother, but how much this is caused by a fresh install I don't know.

The camera has had no major changes from what I can tell, and the photos look the same.

The fingerprint scanner is a lot more accurate. You can still add more than one finger, but you can no longer use different fingers to open up different apps.

My phone still charges the same (with quick charge), but many others are saying that it has stopped it from working.

I can't test the data roaming for you, but overall the phone seems to be working fine.

I can't get Now on Tap to work though, but that might just be me being stupid.
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
I have the same issue, but only when I install TWRP 64bits to recovery, original recovery is working great. don't know much about but seems to be a graphic code problem.

[Device Reviews and Information] bepari220:
just to be clear, by "original recovery" you mean the stock android recovery right ? :)
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
Not possible, different scater than 5.1 so it won't work.

OK, about flashing.

Tested on Win10 64bit build 14216 test mode and dev mode on and driver signing enforcement off.

VCom driver version 3.0.1437.1 so very old one.

Flashed with SPMDT 3.1616.00.00 with no errors.

Flashed with no problems 3 times (tested 3 recoveries) never lost imei.

So:

- Megthebest recovery 3.0 works. No screen tearing no nothing. Probably people who have those problems used bad scatter or trying to flash only system on top of old 5.1 or spflashtool is borked (I am genuinely just guessing, never seen this error)

- Saddly, both Iceman's recoveries don't work

- SuperSU newest beta works in systemless mode.

- SuperSU in system mode does NOT work (infinite boot)

- xposed 84 works

- gravitybox works

- xposed additions work so camera button can be configured as you wish

- play store works

- recovery from titanium backup works.

- irda works

- sensors, all except gyro works

- interesting thing, code looks to be updated to newer build (April's security patch)

- charging time not tested (very curious)

- encryption is present in ui, will test

- light sensor still not great, oscillates too much

If someone manages to run SuperSU in system mode, please give a shout out. I'm very curious why there is infinite boot problem with this.
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
Yes, yes...

When you enter to recovery (original) the same stay fix in a logo error or something, just press "power then vol +" for 2 seg or 3seg and release the buttons :)

Ok, this MIGHT help with screen issues in TWRP but it is just a guess (and a really bad one).

Sometimes I encountered a bug, that after flashing recovery, twrp will not be flashed or partition with recovery be completely empty.

In my experience, after flashing, when I disconnect phone and than reconnect it to computer, wait for battery icon to popup on screen and than disconnect phone, I will never have this problem.

I think it might have something to do with preloader rebooting or something like that.

Its weird solution but works for me.

If I get some good ideas about that problem with screen in TWRP, I will write.

Also, try finding and deleting file ".twrps". Its located in directory "TWRP" or "0/TWRP"
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
Try Flashify or FlashFire (or something like that, the one by ChainFire).

But you have to have root to do this.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

I had good results with KingoRoot and mtk in the past, but in kitkat. If you decide to try, try the site with .net at the end, inside there should be Chinese version, its the newest. Also Kingoroot is hell to get rid off properly, so watch out.

upgrade with root

Hi, I see that there are some problems at upgrading. Maybe I'll wait for a week, if Ulefone fixes some bugs. But until then I have some questions:

- If I want to upgrade from LP to MM, do I need to format everything? Or at least will I need to restore every app, messages, etc. from TitaniumBackup? (Or is there any way to leave the stuffs on my phone?)

- If I already had root, will the upgrade brick my phone? Should I remove root first? And if yes, what is the best way to do it?

Thanks for your help!
[Device Reviews and Information] kozelos:
steps: backup all apps using titanium. if you dont have sd card, copy backuped files to pc. backup contacts to google account. backup (write down IMEIs). flash rom using sp flashtool. flash twrp. flash superuser. boot, install titanium, recover apps. if needed, recover IMEIs. done.

flashing will remove everything from internal drive, it even changes partitions a bit. so backup backup backup. root is problem only in OTA

So, after update I lost quickcharge and having some issues with gsm signal... very low signal strenght and also a lot of drops.

Anyone else with this problem?
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
Fast charging is out but signal looks good to me. 3g sometimes drops but im in area that has poor 3g reception so its expected.

Also, why do you have those gaps in battery history? Unless you were restarting it should be constant graph. If those are freezes, try disabling gestures.
