could someone test my new TWRP 3.0.2-1 for Power and ported using latest kernel from Final 64Bit MM rom?

*edit doesn't work

I don't have power to test with.. so sorry if it doesn't work or it doesn't boot in TWRP.

Please don't share or mirror, i need to be sure if it will work or notbefore sharing in other places.

Regards

Mine is totally blank, there is nothing on the graph and all of the bars are blank when you click on it, apart from a tiny mark on a couple of them at the far left. Not rooted, yet although I hope to sort that when I've final downloaded all of my apps, as it hasn't done that when I logged into my Google account, there wasn't the normal set up when I booted up, just booted straight in.
[Device Reviews and Information] Rizera:
Actually I have read the whole topic (yes!) and after the terrible experience I had, seeing a phone from the same OEM be so good sounded too good to be true. Anyway, it does seen like this phone is much better crafted than the Be Touch 2 since those horrible issues that are mentioned apparently are all gone in this new phone by Ulefone.

Fantastic!! Thank you very much for your feedback! I am now very inclined to buy me an Ulefone Power :)

Thank you very much for your feedback, SirDigitalKnight! I am most likely getting my Power and I am sure that your experience is going to go well too :laugh:. I am in a much more complicated situation (living in South America) and I have bought many Chinese phones all without any issues (except for customs, of course, which are ridiculous here).
[Device Reviews and Information] kozelos:
The only thing to consider is battery. It doesnt last that long as it probably should. I personally dont like the screen on time parameter, but truth is, i get around 7 hours and even when i use the phone quite lot including lot of accounts to be synchronised and most of time on LTE, it could be more.. I guess its probably more software optimalization problem as phone looses much battery in idle even on MM, but for you just to consider..
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
It's charged over night and the graph and bars below are all there now, however the figures while charging were low, generally about 250mAh but it went from 75% to full in 1 hour, which I doesn't seem right.
[Device Reviews and Information] Kangburra:
Sorry, it just bootloops here, cannot get to recovery at all.
[Device Reviews and Information] gummikeks:
This definitely doesn't seem right. You could try to calibrate your battery, maybe the update crashed something in that regard?

thanks for feedback.. i'll try to work on it this evening.. without smartphone is really difficult to debug :D:crying:

I will be taking mine down to SA in a few months myself. Claro chip will already installed. :good:

So is everyone using a 128GB micro SD card in Power? With MM is external memory being used as an extension of the internal memory or are you keeping it separate? And what is the best memory to use in it? Might as well order one from Amazon while I wait for the phone to arrive.
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
Yes you do have the option of using SD card as internal memory with this ROM, I know some companies, such as Sony disable it. What are people's thoughts on this? Will it slow down the phone, although I guess the quality of the card used might have an impact in that.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

Is there any other way apart from full charge discharge cycle to calibrate the battery?
[Device Reviews and Information] mb2010:
Managed to do the dual sim + SD card mod following a tutorial for the s7 dual sim. It's not difficult to do but it sure is scary getting the sim tray in/out afterwards. I used a new microsim and transferred my number over afterward in case I messed up.
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
Hey mate,

Same thing here. I had 5 reboots with the new rom, but 3 of that reboot occurred when I opened one game. When reboot I can open the game again and works great. The others occurred randomly.

I have modified Amplify like the options in xda post forum.

please let me know
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
Hey mate,

I had the same problem, only with applications over wifi or data like (skype, viber) had sound.

I think the problem is in the rom, I fix it deactivated in "

Settings/Sound & Notifications/Sound improvement"

the "BesSurround" this was what cause the problem in the sound, the other options "BesLoudness & BesAudEnh" caused me echo in calls for the other side, but in the last rom is resolved I think, no issues at all about that right now.

Hope resolve your problem and sorry about bad english :-/

I turned off completely power nap and so far so good. Will test more in coming days.

2 things.

1. Does anybody can confirm encryption working (in beta it worked)

2. Got mine glass screen protector from aliexpress. Ordered the cheapest one and it looks like it does NOT have this annoying blue tint. Captain "Cheep Ass" rulez again :D
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
Have you searched any of this options mate ? http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-nlpunbounce-reduce-nlp-wakelocks-t2853874/page195 .

I used this application to "Device Control", you have many options, and can reduce CPU core to improve battery, change build.prop, etc...

Can you give your feedback about that program ?
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
Used device control in the past, mainly for trimming storage but now I use "auto trim". I remember using it couple of times but more than 2 years ago, now it looks different, more options :). Will fiddle with it in coming days. But I'm scared of touching governors but sooner or later will need to learn this so why not this weekend :)

Thanks for the link, will read tomorrow, icing/lcing was always elusive to me.

Does the splash screen says 3.0.00 or something different? Im testing this with flashify (no pc right now) and I dont know if flashify doesn't work or your twrp works.
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
yes, TWRP must says 3.0.0.

try RASHR for flashing.. or Flashtool as soon as you have PC

First time I have ever tried to root a phone, I did once flash my Nexus 4 to Lollipop. So far I have flashed from 5.1 to final version of 6.0 and get the above when I try to boot into TWRP. What would be the best thing to do next, flash the system partition? If so, please could someone guide me how to do this?
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
Ok, what I did. Flashed stock recovery with flashfire, tested, I'm in stock. Flashed yours with flashfire, still in stock. Flashed yours with flashify it works.

So basically it works for me, but remember, that your recoveries always worked for me, so you need confirmation.

GREAT JOB AND CONGRATS :D

If you could just enable more partitions for backup and restore, that would be great.

And in spare time if you could tutor Iceman that would be great. I think he got discouraged with past releases and that is a shame. His work looks promising but just does not work for me.
[Device Reviews and Information] gummikeks:
Is there a known Problem with defective touch buttons and can it be replaced?

Not to my knowledge.

About replacements. Yesterday I browsed aliexpres, there is a lot of parts for power there. Just search "ulefone power" and choose parts. A lot of stuff.

I'm having trouble trying to upgrade my device to marshmellow. I downloaded the firmware, tool & driver. I followed the ulefone blog site, installed the drivers, checksum & selected the files for flashing with the SP smartphone tool as provided by the images on the blog. But it won't pickup my com ports no matters what I do. Hence I can't flash it. Tried switching to MTP, USB mode, recovery mode. Nothing. Can someone please provide a step by step on what I have to install & flash. The ulefone website is way too vague & doesn't specify what mode I need to be on
[Device Reviews and Information] Hemphiz:
I had that issue. But all I did was reboot comp after installing the drivers from the twrp links. My pc still doesn't recognize my phone while it's off but I know it's working because it flashes to my phone fine. Most of us are using this tool instead

https://mega.nz/#!ONcARDJI!pKLnobqUsrELE8VtTQRYIMwSlCAcrcDdix-avGvwqv4

It's a case of install. Click the scatter file from the rom. Let it load the firmware. Click download (make sure your phone is powered off) connect phone. I had to click stop and re-download button reinsert my phone a couple of times as the SP tool didnt pick it up the first time
[Device Reviews and Information] Stevo001457:
Thanks but now I'm having another issue. I've flashed marshmellow successfully but now after flashing TWRP it won't boot up into the recovery mode. Just comes up with the android icon with the red exclamation mark. I'm trying to root. So what now. I select the recovery only and press download which goes fine. But no recovery :(
[Device Reviews and Information] Hemphiz:
That means the custom recovery isn't flashed. After you flash it. Boot straight into recover mode and let twrp apply system modifications. Flash this one

https://mega.nz/#!PRMEzIZa!Mrk1yeXFy07QVP1WW7FwsFcjGFjoVq67qwfmlIUBh4s

The most recent twrp is the only one that works on 6.0 (14th of may build). [MENTION=5273106]needhelp_l7[/MENTION]

Download only is what I use.

As for sd card. From what I'm aware 64gb works
[Device Reviews and Information] Stevo001457:
Either one would be fine cause your upgrading your device to 6.0, meaning you'll probably lose your files. Don't use the SP flashing tool that Ulefone provides. It won't pickup your com port on your computer, use the one in this forum. It was a damn pain in the ass but finally managed to upgrade to MM & flash TWRP on my device. Thanks Hemphiz. I should have went to this forum earlier cause I was going in circles on the ulefone blog. Even flashing TWRP, following ulefone's instructions bricked my device & had to restore MM again & finally got TWRP on my device without some stupid BROM error or "PMT changed the ROM".
[Device Reviews and Information] needhelp_l7:
thanks Hemphiz, but "download only" method say: "pmt changed for the rom. it must be downloaded"
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
from 5.1 to 6.0 you need to use "firmware upgrade" loosing data and settings
[Device Reviews and Information] kozelos:
about fingerprint - i have a problem, that sometimes it unlocks just fine, but in most cases it just turns on display and i have to input gesture, which is annoying. Any advice?
[Device Reviews and Information] needhelp_l7:
yep, "firmware upgrade" worked ! Thx :good:
[Device Reviews and Information] Stevo001457:
Last thing mate. How would I root. I downloaded SuperSu 1.94. Flashed it via TWRP & worked. But when I go into it after my device boots up it says There is no SU binary installed & Root checker confirms that Root access is not properly installed onto the device. Why is that, with my previous HTC I had no issues.
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
With power you need at least supersu 2.71 or newer

[Device Reviews and Information] needhelp_l7:
- upgrade from 5.1 to 6.0 - WORKED

- flash new TWRP 3 - WORKED

then install SUPERSU (v 2.65), reboot - and now I'm stuck in WELCOME screen, and nothing happens.

What should I do? Uninstall SuperSU ?? HOW? or what to do?
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
I had this problem with supersu in system mode. Normal supersu works fine (tested on beta version).

Sorry, I don't understand what's difference between "system mode" and "normal" supersu. How to install NORMAL ??
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
Megthebest in previous post gave you the link. I suggest if this does not work use bata version. System mode supersu can be found in supersu subforum in xda. Its just a different instalation method.

thanks both of you, mates :p

supersu 2.72 works

Got an Ulefone Power Myself, In the first Month I was very satisfied, but now,

*The Notification light is defect

*The Home and Back buttons underneath the screen are Broken

* 30% of my Touchscreen do not recognise any touch (even the whole top of the screen, so no notifications for me)

*Sometimes He loves to crash at the most random Moments.

*Now Thanks to the warranty I've bought an new Ulefone Power with 50% discount, but after 5 weeks still not here (Netherlands)

With all these problems I got a little stressed out at this moment, I hope I can give a positive review after I receive the Ulefone Power and if that one is just doing what it's says it can do. Otherwise an Ulefone Power is no go for me........
[Device Reviews and Information] dejavecue:
Just did the update to 6.0

Seems way faster, the whole "optimising app x of y" went a LOT faster than on 5.1.

Thanks to megthebest for a wonderful TWRP recovery again.

I also flashed SuperSU as well as the most recent Xposed and everything seems to work just fine :)

However, I keep getting Google Play Services force close messages and thus cannot log into my google account, which is really annoying. Anyone else have that issue?

Oh man. Problems just keep arising with this new update haha. Well I revived the IMEI following the tutorial off ulefans site.

I hope they fix the notifications indicator at least.

Addition to that: Network does ABSOLUTELY not work. No Google App works - to be honest, I am very disappointed, is there a way to get back to the original 5.1 rom?

please do a factory reset (settings, backup & recovery, flactory reset last option).. rewrite again Imeis and check.. no other people seems to have the same issue as you have..
[Device Reviews and Information] f1c:
I am still on the fence with regards to upgrading.

Can someone give a brief list of advantages and disadvantages over just staying on 5.1?
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
I'm on MM tbh not really sure why, I've got the fast charger no longer working bug, battery life so far seems worse, although I'm going to do a full charge discharge to calibrate the battery and see. Google now on tap doesn't work, finger print scanner is no better than before and I hadn't done the minor update that was supposed to improve it on lollipop.

Not impressed at all tbh, can't see any improvements. Although I didn't use fast charge often it was comforting to know I could if I needed to charge it in 2 hours, it took 2 hours to charge just over 40% on the fast charger!

Hoping that Ulefone will release a fix for that bug, I've flashed twrp and rooted it, sorely thinking of going back to 5.1, is it possible to flash back then flash the recovery to suitable version of TWRP?
[Device Reviews and Information] dejavecue:
I did a factory reset, now the phone at least tells me what the problem is: Invalid IMEI.

I am in the engineering settings, but I don't know what to put as my IMEI, any ideas?

Getting strange mAh readings when charging https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxdBeQGg8or8NS1EaUpKSWZzZm8/view?usp=drivesdk and it took 2 1/4 hours to charge 60% using what was the fast charger, now it's not so fast, lol.

Just to acknowledge, TWRP 3 worked perfectly with the 20160517 build aswell.

I downloaded the 20160514 version some days ago, flashed it and had some problems (random reboots). Redownloaded the file some days later and apparently they updated the file as it has a 20160517 stamp now. The 17 version has been flawless for me so far (except for fast charge). Fingerprint seems improved, no reboots, twrp works, root works, and overall very smooth.

Could you confirm if it's the same download link for 20160517 build?

Is there a way to check/confirm it's actually 20160517 build before downloading?

Thank you

... Just confirmed from the zip file in the Android 6.0 folder that the build was updated yesterday (19/05/2016) as well, as you can see from the screenshot I took.

When will Ulefone stop silently updating the MM file without official info?

Fingers crossed.
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
Creation date of the file is from yesterday.
[Device Reviews and Information] dejavecue:
Thank you guys for your patience. I reflashed the 6.0 update which fixed the force closing issue of Google Apps. Redid my IMEIs and now everything works.

TWRP, supersu and xposed, all without a problem now.

As for the update itself: It feels a bit faster, snappier, though that may just be subjective. Fingerprint integration right in android is nice, before there was a definite feeling that the fingerprint option in the menu was a different app, the colours didn't fit the android colour scheme.

One thing I am missing though: on Lollipop, when I used Vol- it would go from sound to vibrate to Do not disturb mode and in DND it would let me tell it for how many hours DND would be on. Now it only goes into DND "until you turn off DND"

Is there a way to get back to the old behaviour? I used that quite extensively to precisely tell my phone when to be quiet.

Edit: just realised that there has been a change to the rom, maybe that was part of the issue, for reference sake, I am on the 17/05/2016 version of the rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
I need help.

Can someone confirm that encryption is working?

If yes/no please give info about what rom you are using (im currently on 17/05/2016) and most importantly, if you have supersu installed and in which mode (im in systemless).

Btw, encryption does NOT work for me. I think it has something to do with supersu but need confirmation.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

After hesitating a bit (should I wait for some more bug fixing updates?), I decided to install 6.0 on my Power.

Trouble-free installation with SPFlasher and the T875d_GQ3026AF_Power_MM_20160517 version of the ROM.

Then I installed TWRP (thanks again MegTheBest, donation made for your hard work), SuperSU and Titanium Backup, and I'm slowly reinstalling all my stuff.

For now, MM seems a bit snappier on the Power (but it could be because I've not yet reinstalled as many apps as I had under LL).

Have fun with MM! ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
You should be happy with it. Mine is still as snappy as new install. And now if you are using CfLumen you wont have such a big lag as with 5.1 or beta 6.0.
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
I guess that you still have fast charge working? How are you finding the battery life compared to lollipop? Have you got Google Now on Tap to work?
