We know you are doing you`re best, you did proved this alreddy:)

a OTA will be fine if bugs will be removed and the lag issues and some other things will be improved,

Unfortunatly that is what i tought they will not provide a complete firmware to us, if they will they will have to do this in fact for al the phones and not just for one.

it is a shame, if they want they can provide the rom, but i guess Vernee it only a OEM company that is ordering they`re phones and only is a trading company

Maybe they don`t have software developpers in they`re company, but is maybe only a sales oriented department

The firmware will shurely be made by another company. we can also order oem phones with our on brand on it in china if we want and they will do all the work for us

and will provide a complete woking phone, if a third party is making these roms maybe they don`t want to provide The complete flashable firmware for free, Vernee maybe has to pay significantly more

money if they want to have the complete firmware for support and download purposes , it will be all about money,and will be more important then support for them.

Why not providing the firmware to costumors if you are having these alreaddy?

I think vernee is even not reading the messages on the forum?? i was at the Umidigi forum and they are monitoring it all the time and they will remove a message if it

is to negative for they`re company, they even did block my account,so i simply made another one:)

what i and some others did post on the Vernee forum can be harmfull for they re buisiness, so that is why i think they don`t even read it.

because they don`t even reply or comment on it.
[Android Software Development] :
Oh ok thanks,

then, continue the sh*t alone here
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
Please be kind to one another :)
[Android Software Development] Klaus69:
Ok, with that news u make me wish my phone is lost in transport, so i can ask for my money back.

I was hoping we will have a good rom on it, but it seems Vernee don't give a **** on customers, like many other chinese companies :crying:
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Yes [MENTION=371528]Everybody[/MENTION], have right.. I tryed to explain to the CEO our problems.. Seems fault of the engineers... He will try to resolve as soon as possible to receive the firmware..... But according me there are confusion in this brand.
[Android Software Development] zogu:
Actually we already have enough information for cooking custom rom. My phone will arrive today (hope so), i can make flashable zip of current rom and after that if i receive ota of that version.

But i don't know to build custom rom (maybe miui which is easiest to port, but i don't like it and don't want to bother with it).

Android on vernee is close to stock, i will delete unneeded apps, change launcher and i will be happy with it.

For everything else we need source and good developer :)
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
You not are alone!

But i will build a custom roms when i rebuilded completely the original firmware... This is my first step.... After i will do a custom rom and i will need the help of everyone...

But i will open new thread this thread will remain in this subject...
[Android Software Development] fxnoob:
Ghost, custom rom + optimised kernel please. This phone should work like a rocket with proper software.
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
For kernel is too hard open it without source..

I have many dubts if vernee release the source

I'm have had 3 days to change opinions and discussions in general with the Ceo to try to give him all the prospective bads.. And the mistakes that have this device... So i think they have problems to give us the firmware i could belive that they never pubbish the source.
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
I do not know if standard the phone is encrypted in android 7 but i can tell you the mix 2 is a lot faster without encryption now, :)
[Android Software Development] omgkenny09:
Nice ! There is also the weird thing relating the volume buttons : if you press it continuously, it opens the splitscreen... very annoying. If someones know how to fix it :)

And the thing about the navbar that cannot be hidden, but i think that can be fixed easily by adding a command line in the build.prop of the systemui, am I right ?

Thanks again for you patience and contribution about this "weird" built phone ;)
[Android Software Development] mattparks:
My phone finally works again! I just wish there was a Android 8 ROM for this phone, and a better way to turn down brightness rather than using Night Owl.
[Android Software Development] jasonklein01:
Little help!?

I'm still looking for a way to turn on different LTE bands. In MTK Enginerring, other bands are grayed out.
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
i think these bands will not be supported by the hardware otherwize they would have turned the other bands on because it will be better for sales to more country`s

but i am not sure, Chinese are sometimes making stupid decisions
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
i was on the umidigi website ,the umidigi s2 pro has also a p25 processor and they are offering 2 different options to flash the phone wit SP Flashtool and a software called QGDP_Assembly

i did never heared of this QGDP_Assembly flash method,

my thoughts maybe the readback of the vernee mix did not work because the firmware is maybe flashed with the new QGDP_Assembly flashtool and maybe can explain the ussues with flashing the rom

because the QGDP_Assembly flash seems to have a different format.

maybe interesting for devs to look into this flashtool maybe they not are not informed mtk phones are now also flashed another way with QGDP_Assembly

This program is very usefull for flashing roms on a lot of phones 1 ather teh other, so very conveniant for factory`s to flash the roms

umidigi is also using there own custom rom and this method is specially made for these roms, teh advantage og this tools seems you can never flash a incompatable rom.

but the othet side is you will aways have also to flash your data.

it is to big to upload but the QGDP_Assembly tool is downloadable at umidigi rom site, maybe interesting to look into and maybe explains the problems with the vernee rom ??

it is just a sugestion??

i did download the sp flash rom version of the umidigi s2 pro to look into the rom and compaire it to the vernee mix2 rom the zipped rom is huge 1,7 gigabytes, so these new almost stock new roms of these clones are very big, bigger as normal because it is almost a stock rom and wonder why, maybe it has to do with that they maybe also use the QGDP_Assembly tool to flash it

i hope i am not saying stupid things,maybe a real Dev can tell us more about it??

[Android Software Development] NDbluewee:
Hi @ everyone

Good day! I was just wondering whether everyone of us make an official complaint to Vernee about the official Sony IMX 258 hardware is not the compliance to the hardware specification?

Just something strike me this morning to do it. Guess what, I tried to submit a ticket Vernee do not allow me to do so .... hahaha! lol!

So sorry, this may not be the context in this forum but at least we want to solve our hardware issue and would be great if we can get the firmware or some helps!!!

Thank you. -:) -:)
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
you are right i also did try to make a ticket at vernee and also discovered you can not make a ticket at all at the vernee site

But this does not matter as long you did not order the Mix 2 at Vernee`s itself.

The reseller is responsable for the warantee and handling issues, so you have to make a ticket at the store you did buy the phone,

Brands themselves never handle warrantee and isuues, only resellers do and you must complain or ask for a refund or return it at the store where you did purchase you`re phone.

it has always be that way. if you did buy a car and you have troubles with it, you go back to the dealer not the factory itself, so contact the store where you did buy yoù`re phone and they will

handle the case. i did order my phone at Gearbest and they did refund me $50 because vernee did lie about the sony camera,
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Roland this tool to flash is for noob users ..in that case nobody touch nothing and the flash will be at the end without problems.

Is a multifiles flash in a new format...but inside this PCB file there are the usually files that need for flashtool.:(

I checked also that in the firmware of the umi s2 pro the system is 3,9x gbyte in our mix2 is 4,xx gb is not more bigger!
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
hi Ghost, i did not mean that the rom was a lot bigger but that it is significantly bigger as a clean stock andoid 7 rom.

The QGDP_Assembly flash method is not only for noob users but is used as mass flashtools to be able ot flash a hole batch of same phones and can be done by noobs in teh phonefactory employees

so ideal for factory`s to use as flash toll all theyre new phones and done by noobs, so simple production work.

For the QGDP_Assembly flash method you will need another flashfile and that file is not compatable with mtk flashtool, that is is teh reason you can download 2 different images for

flashing the same rom and i wonder if a rom flashed wiith the QGDP_Assembly flash method will be exacly the same when doing a readback so maybe the reason that a readback will not be flasable

with mtk tools if the roms are flashed with QGDP_Assembly flash method on these phones in the factory

a lot these clone roms all have the same problems and so called false data and i am simply wondering if it has to do with flashing these clones with QGDP_Assembly flash method.

As this QGDP_Assembly flash method is known as ideal to flash a whole batch of phones it could be all these phone could be flashed in the factory with the QGDP_Assembly flash method

As only there are problems with roms from brands that does not provide a mtk flasable rom and does have same problems and i think that that readback problem could be the reason of these problems, because these phones are functionning normally ,but a redback with mtk tools is not possible, so there is clearly a compatability probelem here,because normally a readback can be normally be flashed without any problems with mtk tools and is does not!

the reason could be if tehy wher all flashed in factory with the QGDP_Assembly flash method . ik hope you understand what i mean,and think that where i am pointing to makes cense, or in am totally wrong that is also possible

I think that PayPal will work a little..
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
may i give you advise. you can prove wich camera you have and the nonsence that they send randomly phones ans soem will have a sony camera ios a lie, until now we did not hear someone received a mix 2 with a sony camera inside.

You kan download a apk file to look wht the specs are of you`re phone ,make a snapshot of it that teh phoen contains a semi On sensor and send a new mail at gearbest on the ticket and you that you`re phone has not a sony camera inside, if you do they`re reason that tehy send randomly will make no cense because you did not received what you payed for and have proof.

you will have to negotiate and tell them you will not accept the ridicolous offer of a $8 refund ,and selling a phone out of specs is in fact a illegal transaction because they did lie on purpose about the camera Tell that you are informed tehse phoen are not sended randomly and no vernee mix have sony camera and if a refund of $50 will not be granted you will open a dispute at paypal for selling you a phone under under false pretences and they can chose between a $50 refund or will send the phone back and will have to pay for the return costs, a lot of paypal users are not informed that if something is sold under false pretences with false specs paypal will also refund the retun costs in most cases and gearbest will be charged for these costs.

i got a refund of $50 but in the first reply they would refund me $30. they are just proposing you a small amount simply to try if you will exept this proposition, prove you don`t have a sony camera and tell them you won`t exept they`re proposition and they can chose between a refund of $50 or or will open a case and will send the phone back for a full refund, if you play it well you will also get you`re $50 back , others en i got $50 back for the same reason and tell them you are informend that others got $50 ,so you also will ben entiteled to get the same amount and will not settle for $8

It is all about money and you have te try harder to get the refund you are entiteled to, this negotiation will sometieme cost you 4 of 5 mails before you will win and can take a week to get it, don`t give up

Chinese sellers are afraid of assertieve costumors that are proving they now they`re rights and are good informed costumors and what other buyers got as refund.

in the first responce they will always try if you will accept they re proposition, a lot of costumors will because they are afraid that if they won`t except this and they will get nothing at all, and that is not true, you must play te same game as they do. it is a game and all about money
[Android Software Development] tvou88:
[MENTION=1144289]rolandvb[/MENTION] I already did! I send them screenshots of GB selling page, and screenshots from hardware info app.. and I wrote to them: bigger refund or I will open PP ticket. Now I waiting an answer :)
[Android Software Development] fxnoob:
I also sent ticket, they keep asking me for a code, I already sold the phone, the guy said there is no other code in the box, except label. Any idea where that code is, they keep me in check with that code. Inside the box, what location. I already have the label pics, no other codes besides imei's and serial.
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
Actually when you speak of systen size, you are saying partition size, we do not know what real size our system has.

You can have some reason, it seems that the flash, is done with the smarphone off.

But it will have to have something similar to the scatter that tells you where each partition goes.

We do not know if the vernee mix 2 is like this or like the maze, it is worth investing that tool.
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Yes Amadeus.. When i speak or system... This is a partition of Android system and the size is written in first page.. In hex numbers and is 4.xx gb totally.. This is the total size of this block of memory.

So this is too important study the memories of one device.
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
Hi Amadeus, what you are saying makes a lot of cense!! , flashing with the phone off will be far more conveniant for a factory to do in a productionline, starting up each phone will take a lot of take extra time,

if they use that method they have just to take a phone and plug it in push the start button i the tool and flash it, take the second one plug it in and flash that one and so on that will save them a lot of time and even a non educated retard will be able to flash phones, even a ape could learn to do that :) haha , so maybe they are doing it this way to save time and so that everyone can do that job ,very simple production work.

Maybe they are even doing it before a battery is placed in the phone.? when opening the software you can see a tab Dl w/batt (MTK) so you can chose to flash the phone with or without battery inside!!

With this tool you can also flash and backup of the very important nvram so in fact this toll is idiot-proof and will be all you need , (for simply flashing a stock/factory rom) ,we need more :)

If this method is used you will need the/a CPB file not a scatterfile ,maybe the/a scatterfile is not even needed to flash this phone this way, so maybe it will be possible to een flash a phone without or with a corrupt scatterfile inside and could explain the problem.

Guys im freaking out... how to root this phone and can PLS someone make a MIUI 8 rom for Vernee Mix 2. The phone itsself is sick but we need miui rom:))
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:

Hi Amadeus.. Yes but i continue to not understand what you want to say!

The vernee according me not have in any device this pcb firmware.. that i know.. And used this tool, and there isn't any firmware published from vernee.!

So what i must do with this tool?
[Android Software Development] NDbluewee:
Hi @ everyone

Greeting from XDA ....... .

Ok! Let get to the point where we all have peculiar answer whether it is Sony IMX 258 Dual Camera (Back Sensor model). I have snapped couple of screenshots with Details and Image category (Forget the checksum info).

So should be 2-Details and 2-Images for the back camera with 13 megapixels while the front again with 2-Details and 2-Images (Front Camera with 5 megapixels). here it goes with very clear explanation of what exactly the brand and models of the cameras!!!!!!

1-Detail was Mix 2 ISO-757 while the 1-Images Camera Make is Samsung -SM-G905N ISO-320 and 2-Detail did not mention any specification and 2-Image Camera Make-Mix 2 ISo-117 (All Back Camera pics taken) and followed by (Front Camera 5-megapixel)

1-Detail did not mention anything and 1-Image from Mix 2 ISO-800 and the last 2-Details did not mention anything while the 2-Images from Mix 2 ISO-800.

Conclusion is that .... there is no Sony Camera back sensor at all regardless whether IMX 258 or ....... crap!!! do even exist at all.

Guys .... I have the proofs that all these web sites still promote Sony IMX 258 back sensor ....

1. www.ebay.com

2. www.cafago.com

3. www.tomtop.com

4. www.aliexpress.com

5. www.banggood.com

6. www.china-prices.com ... the list goes on.

I bought from www.vernee.cc but the IMX 258 had taken out and going to lodge my complaint soon. Cheers -:) -:)
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
Thats right to unpack a CPB Firmware you first need this firmware,and we don`t,

i think this will be interesting

Thanks to everybody to study this mix2
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
You are welcome Ghost we try hard to come with suggestions and input to help to try solve the mix 2 firmware problems,
[Android Software Development] NDbluewee:
Hello @ everyone

First, please accept my apologies for the Back Camera (13 megapixels) where 1-Detail and 1-Image were of wronged screenshots NOTHING to do with Samsung SM-950N ...... however, this is substantiated with this screen shots Screenshot 1 is combined both 1-Detail and 1-Image to confirm that is Mix 2 ISO-805 camera while the Screenshot 2 is again confirmation of Sony IMX-258 from many websites already mentioned in the previous posting.

Sorry for the wrongful posting earlier on. Cheers -:) -:)
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
hello Ghost i did found a webpage where they are explaining how to make a complete original rom from a TWRP image with super R kitchen

my question does that mean you also will optain the preloader using this method ?

if so we can obtain the preloader this way and the problem will be solved, maybe with this method we even can obtain the complete original rom.???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbNLJmmE9WQ
[Android Software Development] ghost45:
Roland the preloader is been corrected rebuilded in comparison to the sectors written in the memory and these sectors are attached in first page.

This is not my first project.. So is not this question... In this device the preloader is fake or not correct from the sectors written in the memory so we need the original firmware fron vernee... We must wait the words of the CEO.. Next week...
[Android Software Development] rolandvb:
sorry i am just a beginner and giving options if found

ok so if i understand well if Vernee is not providing the original firmware we are stuck.

i am very courious if they will provide us this firmware,as they are giving 0% support it will be a christmass miracle if they will provide it.
[Android Software Development] MSD-Amadeus:
I have seen that with the tool QGDP .YGDP, or whatever it is called, it can also be done packing and unpacking, the bad thing is that the resulting rom is the same as that used for the Flahs tool.

I think it's just a way to pack roms for that tool.
