Leagoo shark1 android 7.1.2

Can I use this ROM for shark1? I have already 6.0.0 ROM from s600. They have MT 6753 both of them and so I decided to do that... For my disappointment Leagoo didn't release via OTA 6.0.0 and they will never do that... So know I'am thinking to install 7.1.2... What is your opinion about that? Thanks for your time... :fingers-crossed:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rootandro:
I friend,

Use that and good luck. :)

Not an solution

I heave tried this. Is about the soft from factory, or from some identical phone to rewrite my imei. The phone does not heave CSD information, SN&IMEI Writer is not a solution. MAUI not working. No chance to restore my imei without factory files for this model. I heave original stock rom. Its working well but not a chance to write the IMEI's. Thank you for your kindness.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rootandro:
Mine has a sticker with the imei, I did not throw it away because of this problem.

Try to know imei by contacting the official store. It may be a solution.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] redmon:
IMEI

I just sayd. I heave the sticker with the IMEI's. Only its imposible to write them. I heave buyed one week ago. Its new. I heave the hole box exactly from the factory. Like i said i heave original IMEI's.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
You only can write imei with stock rom.

There you can use sn write tool or maui meta.

After restoring the imei, you can just install this rom here again

Hi guys! I have a Oukitel U13, and it started to ask privacy code to my grandma, Ive tried to go on recovery mode but after selecting recovery it stays on 'no command'. so I believe my best option is to flash the stock rom. other question, does this updates via OTA?

Thanks for the update, just installed the new build. Everything is running very smooth and fast, but the camera focus problem is still there for me. I did a full wipe before installation and started from scratch.

So i am back to version 20170313 for now, wich is running perfectly for me :D

Touchscreen

Hi!

I have 3 U13 with 7.1.2 and sometimes in normal use the touchscreen stops working. For being 3 I think it will be a defect of the version. Someone with the same problem or solution?

Thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
What do you need to do to get the touchscreen working again?

Does this happen randomly?

I read that the same happens with other brands of phones with version 7.1.2, but from the analysis I made I think I'm dealing with a hardware problem ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rootandro:
Hello.

I read in a safe source that the problem of the quality of the photos is not of the hardware but of the system android. Some brands do not provide 100% firmwares for cameras, but for the rest to work better.

Thanks to programmers who continue to want to improve our smartphones.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] El greco:
yes it's software, but M.A.D. devs managed to fix it in some older builds, then maybe something happened with newer builds and the camera returned as it was on the first releases, so it's something they already solved, it's just a matter of time when they will implement again the settings in upcoming releases.

I just got this device yesterday in the post and immediately put MAD 7.1.2 on it having come from Jiayu S3 with MAD 7.1.2. Delighted with it. Runs great. No issues installing TWRP via SPF Tools.

One thing that is faster compared to the S3 was wiping Dalvic after installing rom and Gapps it was a much faster process. On the S3 it took 10 mins to this.

Typical ... my U13 screen has become unresponsive. The phone will work fine and the screen will just stop. Everything else works fine - I was able to use it with a usb mouse so its not the software

I have since gotten a 2nd phone to see me through till I get another device.

Has anybody else had their u13 suffer the same fate?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
We only include basic drivers from stock rom, to get camera functionality and sound for example. Everything else is based on source code of aosp project.

If there is a backdoor in our software, it's on every Android phone and must have been added (or not fixed yet) by Google.

From my experience oukitel is a trustful company, not telling **** about their hardware. See the camera for example: they officially state it's 13mpx, interpolated to 16. Other companies probably would have just advertised 16mpx.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Thank you for the quick response. I take your points about Oukitel as a company. I am simply reporting as to what the mentioned malware checker finds on my stock U13 rom - it may be reporting false positives.

The battery capacity test(s) are mentioned elsewhere by an independent reviewer. I guess the only way to be sure is to open the U13 up and check the battery more thoroughly. I won't be doing this with mine. Yet.

I am reassured reference the MADos rom and will be installing it today.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
I still could be wrong about the battery... It's just not what I expect.

The updater app is not coded by oukitel...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Well, I have disabled the stock rom Wireless Updater app on the U13, if this is what you are referring to. It seemed to be using some data to do something, I just don't know what.

Incidentally, it would be good if Oukitel gave the MAD team some updated, fixed drivers/firmware for the camera. There is a widespread issue with the distance focus on the U13 camera. If MAD use the stock rom camera drivers as currently supplied by Oukitel, the problem will persist in all future MAD roms.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Well, Chinese smartphone manufacturing isn't as straightforward as one could think.

Companies like oukitel, ulefone, elephone, umi,... Don't actually manufactur the phones or build the software.

Instead all of them order it from companies, which are actually manufacturing for many different brands. Those manufacturers either also offer the software or are asking another company to build it.

In the end, oukitel, ulefone, elephone,... Can simply take the finished device and promote it, or they can buy the source code as well, and improve it on their own (or give it to us)...

Long story short, if the focus issue gets fixed on stock rom, we can ask oukitel for updated source code.... Maybe it's even hardware limitation...

In the end, the u13 is a great device for this price tag, no matter if the focus isn't working perfectly
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
OK, understood. I agree, it is a good phone for the money.

Question please:

I am running SP_Flashtool_v5.1428 on Win 10 as shown in the images in your U13 flashing instruction document. When I select 'Scatter Loading' and then the 'MT6753_Android_scatter.txt' from the downloaded ROM file, I get the following error:

"SP Flash Tool Error (8417) Load Scatter File is Invalid"

Please inform me of what is going wrong and how I can rectify this please?

Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Your flashtool version is too old. Please use the one from my guide
[Miscellaneous Android Development] El greco:
Ok, I first tell you that the phone made 4:30 hours on screen time during a 20h use time, 10% left, wifi always on and brightness at 50%, not bad considering the battery, would have been great with a real 3000mah!

Scanned the phone with the app you said and MAD rom is clean, so another reason to go for it, hope they can fix camera focus, it will be the definitive ROM for this phone!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] giuseppeandm:
With the stock rom V17, the focus problem of the camera and 'solved.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Thanks to those above for the link to the V17 Stock rom. I managed to flash the MAD rom eventually and it looks good. However, I use 2 sims one for data and one for calls/texts. No matter what I do I cannot get both sims to work simultaneously.

Data on Micro Sim slot 1 works OK, but main number sim in Nano slot 2 doesn't connect. Both sims were happily working fine with this configuration on the stock rom. So at the moment I have a phone that doesn't make/take calls!

So I might have to flash V17 to get the dual sims working again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] El greco:
it seems something is a bit messed up with phone part, also phone cannot receive calls no matter what, so I believe is some issue of the first version of the rom, let's see if developers are able to fix in the next release, rom is rock solid for every other aspect.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Yes mine is the same. Cannot make or receive calls. Doesn't matter If I put the my sim in either sim slot, still no calls can be made/received.

Sim works fine in another phone.

One thing I notice is that under IMEI in 'About Phone' the status is 'Unknown'. I believe this means that the handset cannot register with the network to function as a phone.

MAD group need to resolve this ASAP. You'd have thought they would test before release.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Calls are going to be fixed today.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
I don't know too much about this, but I think my IMEI NVRAM(?) is wiped. There is no CDS option in MTK Engineering mode Connectivity tab on the U13 either, so I cannot easily re-enter the IMEI numbers.

No root for the U13 yet. I have the IMEI numbers on the U13 box labels, but I have no idea how to restore them. So can anyone help me to restore the IMEI numbers please?

Many thanks.

Update: I have flashed the V17 stock rom and managed to restore my IMEI numbers using SN Writer. So my handset is working again. Yay! As far as I know this is not a permanent fix though. A factory reset will wipe the IMEI numbers and I'll have to re-enter them again. It's been a steep learning curve :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Check if IMEI numbers wiped (NVRAM wiped I think).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
As a previous poster has mentioned, the U13 Camera distance focus problem seems to have been resolved in the V17 version of the stock rom. Pictures appear much sharper on landscape/distance shots.

One issue that I've found is that the ZSD (Zero Shutter Delay) setting on the camera seems to put black spotty stripes on images. You can see these if you take a picture with ZSD on and zoom in on the subsequent image. Or is it just mine?

I just keep ZSD turned off.

On refection, I think I would be reluctant to flash a new MADos rom if it meant going back to a faulty camera focus. Might just stick with the stock rom, unless the MAD rom can be updated with the newer fixed camera stuff.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] El greco:
I believe they will include v17 updates on it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Great.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
New version is uploading currently... Just not at home right now.

This version is mainly going to fix calls and adds 'power off alarm' as well as scheduled power on/off.

We'll take a look at the v17 update (focus) next time.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
OK, DT1980. Thank you. Think I'll wait until the next update. I've got used to having the camera focus working correctly on V17 rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Saix_XIII:
I just purchased the U15 Pro, from a quick glance the only difference I can see is this has 64GB ROM and the U15 is 32GB. Will this work on the U15 Pro? I cannot find anything on XDA for the U15 so figured this was the best place to ask.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
A quick heads:

V17 of the stock Oukitel U13 rom still has adupsfota.apk and adupsfotareboot.apk (sysoper) spyware apps installed. These apps are 'back-doors' that can send user data back to servers in China in the background, without the user's knowledge.

I used adb shell and DeBloater program (as available elsewhere on xda) to try to block these, but it does not work on recent Android roms. (as app/user access permissions have changed on recent roms). You can view the packages with DeBloater, but not block them.

I have frozen and disabled the 'Wireless Update' app on the U13 handset as this is often the front-end of these spyware apps. I have also contacted Oukitel to ask why these apps are installed on their devices.

If anyone knows more about this than me, I am happy to learn more.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ian97:
is there any flashable rom via twrp for me to test? sorry coz i dont have laptop or desktop at home.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
FYI

Adupts fota has been marked as spyware, one of the biggest mobile AV has made an article about this some time ago.

It basically collects some statistics info about the phone...

Now there's some things I would like to clarify about this :

A) MediaTek is not to blame, fota is handled by an 3rd party

B) Oukitel (and other OEMs) as well , are not to blame

C) Our ROM(s) don't have this, this app is used only on official MTK stock builds

D) MediaTek and adupts, had already "fix" the issue

Cheers

PS: I'm officially F## up by my customs... They are holding my device in there for over a month now...

Mehh
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Thank you for the clarification. I fully understand that there is no adups spyware in the MAD roms. This is why I will surely install it promptly on my U13, as soon as a version is released that incorporates the V17 Stock Rom Camera focus fix.

Cheers.

btw: how exactly do i repoduce 'focus bug'?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] El greco:
thanks DerTeufel!

Camera does shoot at 13mpx now?

To reproduce the issue, just try to take a photo of something which is not so close (even two-three meters away are enough) which maybe has more than one subject in the picture, photo will be not properly on focus when you zoom it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Saix_XIII:
So does anyone know if this will work for the U15 Pro? It seems the processor, GPU, ram, camera, and overall all the hardware besides the amount of storage and screen resolution are the same.

I don't want to brick my new device if this is known not to work. If someone has any idea I'd be grateful.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Take a few distance photos - landscapes, etc. Then either on handset itself, or better on a bigger screen, zoom in on the images. You will see that the medium to long distance aspects of the image are blurred. This is not a hardware camera fault as it seems to have been fixed on V17 rom.

See http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/editor-review/cbc92c under the 'Primary Camera' heading where the reviewer has found and describes the exact issue.

I have flashed and am now running latest V17 rom and, compared with my original 'out-of-the-box' rom, distance images are much sharper and seem correctly focused.

guys, there is already an update v18 official on needrom, someone did try it? If there are some improvements, we can suggest them to the developers of MAD rom.

Since they don't provide any changelog, it's hard to tell what they changed on this one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Please keep in mind: we are working from source code, not porting. If there is anything changed in stock rom, doesn't automatically fix anything in madOS. For the camera, we could be lucky the fix being in a pre-built camera blob.

Has V17 of stock rom being available as ota? If so, anyone saved the file?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
As far as I know there has not been a OTA U13 update from Oukitel (at least not in the UK). I downloaded the V17 rom from Needrom and flashed using a flash tool.

Are you aware that V18 rom is now available on Needrom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Thanks. With an incremental ota, it would have been much easier to know, which file(s) they changed, to fix focus.

Generally, I don't care much about stock updates. Only source code is of real interest
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Has anybody flashed V18 rom onto the U13 yet? Notice any changes or have any comments please?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] timboi44:
