[Device Reviews and Information] UnableToResetOldProfile:
The factory repair will danmage the watterproofness of the phone

Further investigation into the low to non existent microphone volume has produce a Russian Youtube video of a disassembly and removal of the actual membrane.

BOTH the processes, factory and disassembly, will remove the waterproof ability of the phone.

The only fix that I can see is using silicone or contact cement to glue the microphone in the housing before reassembly to restore the waterproofness of the phone.

HOMTOM HAS OUTRIGHT LIED ABOUT HE CONTINUING WATERPROOFNESS OF THE PHONE USING THEIR METHOD.

I do not recommend doing the Homtom factory method, this will allow water into the phone.

I do recommend the disassembly of the phone and removal of the membrane, then glueing the microphone into place making a watertight seal. This method will also void your warranty as you have to break the security caps on the 3 screws.

This is the link for the Youtube video of the disassembly repair. It starts at 8:00/11:40, I do recommend watching it from the beginning.

[Device Reviews and Information] Newht20:
Hi all,

New to the forum, so cheers everybody (been lurking for long...)

So i jumped into the HT20 wagon and received mine 2 days ago. Updated the ROM as soon as i got it. Same problem with the mic as other posted, solved by tweaking the eng menu and .... poking a hole with a needle as advised by ht support... not very professional but problem solved for good. As for waterpoofing, that will do for me, i don't plan to take pictures underwater, but mostly use it with wet hands or in a humid environement. Otherwise phone seems to behave allright, i havent tested everything yet.

Anyway what brings me here is the rooting of the phone. Too many unremovable bloatware, not so great launcher and i want to change a few things ( like the left button which brings the desktop config ..??.. instead of like running apps or else...)

I tried KingRoot (PC) with no luck, and also KingORoot which failed and installed ****ty apps on the phone. So no more one-click-i-don't-know-whats-happening thing for me.

The simplest method seems to load a custom recovery and flash supersu. The bootloader is not locked as previously described. Phone respond to adb command and hardware command to boot into recovery.

So... who's able to compile a working custom twrp for the HT20 ? :) Or another suggested method?

Thanks

HomTom folded

Yaaa, well somebody might do the dump prior to R00Ting.

And....

After 7 emails 9 emails 12 emails back and forth, and HomTom insisting that I deal with a service outlet, which I vigorously pointed out to them that there are none in Canada and they acknowledge this, they finally folded after a ... few choice words ... and are sending me a set....hopefully... I'll post when/if I receive them

***EDIT***

23/11/2016 HomTom sent me an email informing me that they will send me the tracking number when it is sent out.

***EDIT***

Its been sent, by snail mail, waiting .... waiting .... waiting.........

As a result of all this, we find out what HomTom responds to and how to talk to them....and this is unfortunate.

After 25 years in business for myself, one of the things I learned about communication as a customer and a supplier of goods is, to get the other party to listen, you have to speak the same language as them, except louder for them to listen to you.

Unfortunately, if this means swearing and profanity, it's the only language you understand and respond to and I do not apologize for this.

Hello everybody.

I got my ht20 yesterday and, off course, mic problems occured. I didn't solve it like homtom suggested, by poking a hole, but rather like the Russian guy from the youtube video. Results were great in sound recording app. I could crystal clear hear myself. But... I can't make a decent conversation, too much noise. I can clearly hear person on the other side, but every 5, 10 or 15 seconds they tell me that they can't hear me because of too much noise. This is definetely not mic related. Is someone having similar issue? Is there any suggestions on this matter?
[Device Reviews and Information] UnableToResetOldProfile:
Did you adjust the mic volume from the Developers Menu or just remove the membrain?

Could someone help please. Have been sent in so many different directions and no one seems able to help. My Father brought me the Homtom ht20. I can get calls, send calls and send and get normal text messages. But cant get the internet access at all unless its by wifi or personal hotspot. The sim card is the right band that is needed. I was told to upgrade the the phones version so they gave me the rom that i needed. I did this by putting it to the internal memory like they said and then when to settings and my phone to wifi update and went local update like they said. But the version stayed exactly the same. And then told me to ask here.

[Device Reviews and Information] Black_Night:
I didn't adjust it. I also didn't remove the whole membrane, I cut the hole the same size as the mic membrane. But it solved the problem for the sound recording app, as I previously said, also viber and skype. But cellular calls are just awful! You think it has something to do with settings in developers menu and can be fixed that way?
[Device Reviews and Information] UnableToResetOldProfile:
Post the settings of the mic settings, possibly someone will chime in and let you know if you are factory or other.

Maybe someone can post the OEM settings for you.

I would of recommended that you return the phone because of the noise issue, but you opened the phone and broke the anti tamper caps on the screws. You would of been better off 'Poking' a hole in the membrane, dunking the phone in water, and then claiming a warranty refund due to a defective seal on the phone.

I have had similar noise problems, both in phones and PC's, its in the hardware, not the software.
[Device Reviews and Information] Black_Night:
Ok, I will do that tomorrow.

I am not sendind phone back to China, I already agreed with a seller for a partial refund - 50%, so I kept the phone for my daughter for a youtube and games. Also she dropped it couple of times and I am satisfied with that part of the protection.

Where did You get info about the battery? Only 2350 mAh?

Revised ROM for HT20

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

Homtom has released Revision 09 of the Android 6.0 ROM for HT20, dated 19 January 2017. It is available for download from the Homtom website > Firmware download.

The revision was foreshadowed by Homtom on facebook after users complained of malware in the fota software. Revision 09 includes Android security patch updated to 5 January 2017. It is also compatible with jemmini's custom recovery, TWRP_302_HOMTOM_HT20, which can be used to root the HT20.

Where to get the Scatterfile for the HT20? Without this, no TWRP recovery is flashable, I thinked.

Thank
[Device Reviews and Information] dlopoel:
The Scatter file of the original software is'nt it part of the package? I think I found the original scatter file in the package for the ht20 pro which can be downloaded from homtom home page.
[Device Reviews and Information] pedroque:
Scatterfile is in HT20 download

The scatterfile for HT20 resides in the HT20 ROM. Decompress the download (e.g. with 7-zip), and it is loose inside the ROM folder. Its name is MT6737M_Android_scatter.txt. You will need to decompress the download to flash TWRP using SP Flash Tool.

Do not use the scatter file from HT20 Pro, as this is a different phone, with different MediaTek chip.

Let me know if you can't find it. I will post it if necessary.

Hello,

I have a LG P715, and it is stuck on security error. When i try to switch it on, it displays lg logo for 10 seconds and then the screen flips and i see security error with lg logo.

I tried googling it, i found out i have to use lg mobile support tool. To use it, I need to put my phone in emergency mode, which i cannot do.. All tutorials say to plug in usb while pressing Vol - key, which when i do, leads me to a screen with a blue battery icon with a lightning bolt icon in it.

Any help will be appreciated.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] thyahuh:
Hello Azim! Are still having troubles with your LG P715? Well! I have done the following:

1 - Downloaded a CIS V10j rom to this model P715

2 - I copied/pasted the 3 adb drivers (Adb, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi) that I found on Android Multi Tools V1.02b folder (found to download) to the folder C:windows/system32 (My o.s. is Windows 7 x86. if yours is windows 7 x64, you must copy/paste them to C:windows/sysWOW too).

3 - Opened the LG mobile support tool and I chose to install the drivers to the LG P716

4 - Renamed the fold C:LGP716 to LGp715

5 - I ran the "windows enabler" (KDZ FOLDER) as admin and then, I switched it on at the "TRAY" close to the clock. Maybe this has not made any diference. I just have done it. you'll find it searching for kdz update with windows enabler.

6 - Then, I plugged the phone to the pc (while LG mobile support tool was still open) through usb holding vol- and it worked. (LGE AndroidNet Usb Serial Port s been recognized)

7 - So, I closed the LG mobile support tool and I ran the KDZ as Administrador and in compatibility mode to Windows xp sp3 ( right click on kdz icon and check the boxes due to these options at the window COMPATIBILITY).Good luck ! Sorry for my bad English. hug
