Zopo ZP980+ (2GB/32GB) - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I welcome everybody to the thread about the upgraded ZP980.
ZP980 vs ZP980+
The + version is supposed to be the exact same hardware as the ZP980, only with double the internal memory and RAM.
Why a separate thread for this variation?
Many people have pointed out that this model is basically the same as the ZP980 except for the size of the RAM and the internal storage (2GB vs 1GB and 32GB vs 16GB respectively).
The discussion is still going on in the ZP980 thread. Until it is 100% confirmed that everything works exactly the same for both phones, I am planning to keep this thread. Except if XDA decides differently of course.
In any event, this thread was not created to compete with the ZP980 thread. Personally I follow that one too and participate in the discussion. This thread here only exists as a point of reference for confirmed methods, tricks, ROMs and recoveries for the ZP980+.
Can I try ROMs and other stuff I find in the thread for the standard ZP980?
I would say yes, with some caution.
In case you try something that works or -even more important- something that does not work, please be kind and share with us in this thread. This way you are helping the community take the most out this excellent piece of hardware and avoid mistakes.

My ZP980+ is waiting for me in Greece. I'll have it in a couple of weeks since I live in Switzerland.
But I couldn't wait to open this thread and prepare for what I need to do.
Has anybody already received it?
Did you manage to root it?

I managed rooting it via ERoot. I learnt that this is the only possibility to get rooted new zopo generation. Would be glad if there were another also working with linux. But as far as I know, there has not been any yet.
Dimitris, will you keep 1st post of this thread actual? It would be useful, if any custom ROM fully compatible with this model were linked in this opening thread as well as root tools and other useful tooling.

I am planning to keep the 1st post up to date IF nobody else offers to do it (I am sure XDA can change the poster of the OP if we ask them to, I have seen it done in other forums).
I only started this thread because I wanted to make a clear distinction and avoid bricking my device (selfish me) and also help others avoid bricking their devices.
I will add in the OP any useful piece of information that I see posted in the thread, starting with Framaroot (by Jan1959) and ERoot (by you) will follow if you explain a bit more (either describe what you did or provide a link as Jan1959 did ).

Did you succeed with this method? If not, do you know anybody who did? I don't see this model in their list so I guess somebody should let them know so that they add it there.

I seems to be logical that it works, because I do not know a root method which works on zp980h, but does not on c2 platinum. C2 platinum can be found in compatibility list. It is the 1st model of the higher zopo generation.

This referred to Dimitris' allusion, that zp980h is not part of the compatibility list. I mean that older root methods (i. e. motorola apk exploit and so on) do not work any more with newer zopo devices. 1st of these devices is c2 platinum. Up to now, I have known only eRoot which is able to root it and zp980h. If framaroot works with this, it should also work with zp980h.

going to follow this, ordered mine 21/08 on mixeshop for shipment to belgium.
Hope it's on his way because they say 5 to 7 days and the 5 day is today and status is still processing but i read that chinese shops don't put a lot of effort on status changes, maybe anyone experience with this shop?

I used eroot and manage to root with one click without problems. win7 have installed all the necessary drivers automatic.

I had problems with eroot and the drivers on Win7.
But the method from the OP (Framaroot) worked for me great.
Just copied the file, installed the app. After that just opened, selected SuperSU and Boromir exploit). After that reboot and I have now root (already eliminated this annoying bootsound)
Thanks for the tip!

I bought it from zopomobileshop.com and they were just great with the updates and communication.

Framaroot does not work with zp980h. I have just tried - it is nothing more than root in the shell. This is not enough (at least not for me).

Framaroot did not work at all with my phone. Which version did you use? Did you upgrade to today's OTA-Upgrade before rooting?

Ok, then with new Upgrade for zp980h, it does NOT WORK any more. Old binaries are updated, but root access fails. Could you please verify that by upgrading and then trying to root again?

Can somebody show me a thread on XDA where Eroot is discussed?

After updating today the zopo was unrooted.
After starting framework1again the zopo was once again rooted.
Until now it works fine.

It runs 2.2 (as mentioned on the web), I don't have any idea if it can be upgraded, as you may know 2.2 isn't the latest version.
For GPS, you can check its specs if it has GPS or not, if yes then you can install the apps from the market otherwise perhaps connect an external GPS, although I am not sure weather an external will work or not.
You can click on 'Thanks' button, if I helped.

since it is running android, so the compatible android apps should run on it, but since its a Chinese clone, no guarantees.
You can trying looking at other android phones by HTC or some other brand, to be safe.
You can try this rom Update_HD2_3G.zip www.multiupload.com/XOVS2HZTHO to remove all chinese aplications and to improve everything.

[SIZE=+1]Q4: What does Root/Rooting mean?[/SIZE]Put simply, Rooting your device allows you, and/or rooted apps, to access parts of the Linux based Android software that is your OS, and that you would otherwise not be able to access. These tasks can be as simple and beneficial as backing up your system setting, or as complicated as installing custom ROMs, Kernels, etc.​
[SIZE=+1]Q5: What is ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and what is it for?[/SIZE]Please read HERE. There is much to learn, please view everything in the threads OP​
[SIZE=+1]Q6: What is the purpose of rooting my Samsung Galaxy Note II?[/SIZE]Please bear in mind, rooting can be dangerous and if done wrong "brick" your phone.

3) To enter Recovery: Hold Volume up, home, and power for about 5 seconds then release all buttons. You may need to try this a few times.​
[SIZE=+1]Q8: What is a "logcat" and how do I create one?[/SIZE]For setting up ADB see What is ADB (above) logcat allows us to log what the OS is doing, and possibly offer information if things are not working. its quite simple to create but may be difficult for most to understand. This is a tool a Developer may ask for in detecting issues your device may be encountering.
To use logcat
Code:
adb shell
logcat
To logcat to a certain file do
Code:
adb shell
logcat -d > /sdcard/whatevertexfileyoulike.txt
For a full explanation follow the link in What is ADB​
[SIZE=+1]Q9: Is there an app that will help me create a logcat from my phone?[/SIZE]Yes, however it does have its limitations. If you're stuck in a "bootloop", the app will not work, you will need to use ADB for this. If you're data is not connecting on a certain Rom, (or something similar) within the already booted OS, an app can be rather handy and and more user friendly, for those who don't understand ADB. Apps for logcat can be found in the marketplace​
[SIZE=+1]Q10: What does odexed and de-odexed mean and what is the difference between the two?[/SIZE]Please read HERE​
[SIZE=+1]Q11: What is CWM Recovery (ClockWorkMod Recovery) and TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project)?[/SIZE]They are recovery program's that allows you to backup / restore a full or partial system backup of your device. They also allow you to install flashable .zip files; which is one of the primary installation methods for custom ROMs. They also provides other features such as cache and delvik wiping, battery reset, and other processes. If you are thinking about flashing custom ROMs or just want a really good backup program, it's strongly advised that you to install one of these.​
[SIZE=+1]Q12: What is the 'Flash Counter'?[/SIZE]Your phone's "Flash Counter" is triggered when it detects custom firmwares. This is Samsung's way of knowing that your device has been modified. Please read HERE to understand what this does and how to fix it.​
[SIZE=+1]Q13: What is a ROM?[/SIZE]A rom is like a custom firmware image that is made by a Developer either entirely from scratch, or based off of the official firmware package. Some ROMs contain simple changes like changing icons and adding extra options to things, other more complicated ROMs can change the entire Android experience. Which one you will want to flash, will be entirely up to you. Read carefully, and make sure you understand what you are getting into before you flash.​
[SIZE=+1]Q14: What is a Kernel?[/SIZE]A kernel is the heart of the device's OS. In simplest terms it’s a connection between your apps and your device’s hardware; i.e. the processor, RAM, etc. A custom kernel can dramatically change the way your device’s hardware performs… for the better and/or the worse]​
[SIZE=+1]Q15: What is a Bootloader?[/SIZE]The bootloader is a program code that is executed before the device OS starts up, and that instructs that device to boot “normally”. The bootloader can come locked or unlocked from the manufacture. A unlocked bootloader will allow you to install custom ROMs & Kernels (as well as some other neat things) on your device.​
[SIZE=+1]Q16: What is the best rom for my phone?[/SIZE]While you can ask this as many times as you wish, the only answer is: the one that works best for you! A rule of thumb is to visit a several rom thread's and view what is happening within these rom's. Eventually viewing a few roms will cause the urge to try one that looks good to you.​
[SIZE=+1]Q17: What is the MD5, and what does it do?[/SIZE]It ensures that file's are downloaded correct and complete, in order to avoid issues when installing/using it.​

Hey Tony, I've been searching for information on Apps2SD for this phone and while I will find it (the information) on my own, I think a mini compendium of sorts would make sense in the FAQ section. Unless of course this is a "Google removed the function, end of story," situation.

When you carrier unlock a device it remains unlocked no matter how many roms or recoveries you flash. My note 2 is unlocked and works just fine.
The bootloader is not locked. Flash a recovery using Odin. Twrp is great.

Another one you can use once you're rooted is ROM Manager from Play Store and flash CWM (ClockWorkMod) that's what I've been using.

Hello, you find something about your problems because I have same phone and of course same problems. If you find how to resolve please let me know. Thanks
i tried Debloater but no joy...there are some topics on Chinese forums but even with translator i cant get their instructions...
So If someone is interested I have successfully put inside twrp and SuperSU, now I test which gaps package is better for this. If I have time maybe in week end I make a tutorial how to do.

im interested
to root device you will be need instal twrp and instal SuperSU package for TWRP
which version of twrp did you used?
I used a package downloaded from Nubia chinese forum, is twrp 3
Apologies for going off-topic, but I also have this phone.
Google play services is very unstable for me, could someone please confirm what version of play services they are using and if it is stable?
Also, I cannot update the phone (1.20 to 1.23) as the installation creates an error at 25%. Has anyone else experienced this and found a work around? I cannot download a new version to SD card as I cannot make a Baidu account.
Thank you for any advice
Yes same for me, I can't find a stable google services, but I read in a russian forum is needed to give permission for each services on the security app. I try today and I tell if became more stable
guys,
i got version 7.2.13.J-all of play store and 10.0.84 of services. All on 1.20, running without any issues
Ok, thanks but I received the phone with 1.23 firmware version and after start popped update to 1,27 and after I installed twrp. So now I have 1.27 firmware version with twrp 3 0 2 0
So I granted permissions for each google app and same for google services on settings/apps and now I don't have any issues.
Please if someone have an account to 4pda.ru please tell me because I find some useful file there for tweaking this phone but I can't download without an account.

Software update file download

Hey everyone!
I apologize in advance if there's a simple answer to this question that has been posted a million times, but for the life of me I cannot find one either on the official Sony site (support, Xperia, download, etc. sections) or XDA Developers. There are posts that allude to the same issue (wanting to download stock updates), but none of which pan out. For example user Jozinek posted in another thread they'd update with new versions of firmware, but there's nothing new since Version 50.1.A.10.40. (I'm running 50.1.A.10.51). I've also looked on Xperiafirmware, and they're behind as well. Anyway, I haven't done this stuff since my Samsung Galaxy SII, so there's probably something super-obvious that I'm missing.
I unlocked the bootloader to my XA2 (model H3123) and rooted it, and everything is fine. I'm signed up to the Sony Xperia Care e-mails, which informed me there is a new software update available (v. 50.1.A..13.123). Since I'm rooted, the Software update function on my phone can't even tell that there's a new version, so I can't download & install it that way, and the same thing happens with the Sony Xperia Companion program on my PC.
Finally, the question: Is there a repository or something of official Sony software builds where I can just download the new software file without having to use either of those other two methods, flash it to my phone, and be done with it? I don't want to use a different OS (e.g., Lineage), as I'm used to Sony's. I just want the update.
I did come across the Sony developer site for software binaries for AOSP Pie 9.0 that has a downloadable Zip file, but I have no idea what software binaries are and I'm not even running Android Pie (9.0) on my phone yet anyway. I did find the Xpericheck website (also alluded to in another post titled "Where to download stock ROM"), but the only FTF file I can download is for name "Customized Gel" and CDA "1312-5085", and I don't even know what those are. Furthermore, when I click on the link I am unable to download the file as it's 1.88GB and free downloads through the host (Alfafile) are limited to 1GB (and I don't think it's worthwhile to pay for a sub just for that one file).
If anyone has an answer, or even just a suggestion, please let me know.
Thank you very much, and sorry for the bother and ridiculously long post.
Sincerely,
Dave
@fivebodyblade Lol!!! Dave here!! Where are you from because I'm getting firmware for the UK? Download ftf and flash through Flashtool and reroot

Hey bud! Thanks for the reply! Isn't it heckin' late over there?!? I'm in Canada.
Where can I find the appropriate ftf? The only one I've come across is the "CDA 1312-5085 Name Customized GEL" on XperiCheck, which I have no idea is even the "correct" one for my phone. It's a moot point anyway since the ftf download link on XperiCheck takes me to an Alfafile host, where I can't download it because only DLs up to 1GB are free and it's 1.88GB. Pretty silly.
I'm probably not understanding something that's completely obvious so sorry in advance.
EDIT: I think I finally understand--do you mean I can simply do everything (download ftf, flash, etc.) using Flashtool on my PC, is that correct? I believe I misunderstood that your first instruction (download ftf) could also be performed through Flashtool, which I didn't even realize existed. It looks pretty amazing; hopefully I can figure it out.

Flippin sweet! I just downloaded Flashtool, the firmware I wanted, etc. and flashed it to my phone. Worked like a charm. Whoever came up with that is a marvel. Not sure why it didn't show up in any of the searches I did. Thanks so much, Dave! Happy Christmas!
Just use the "Emma". Download it from Sony website.

Downgrading from Android 10 to 9 locked bl

I am stuck at the latest version of android 10 (.618) on my xperia xz2 compact H8314 and I have a big problem using whatsapp and other messaging apps like messenger and telegram, basically the voice notes sounds very low, I can record audio using sony audio recorder and works fine but the other apps dont, I have been looking for this thread all over the xz2 forum but could not find it so thats why I decided to create it, I have also looked in other webpages but it seems that are very few mentions of it, I found this one and tried to follow it, but I failed in my attempt.
https:// xperiafirmware. com/downgrade/
Any help/advise is welcome and even questions of what I have already tried.
I thought about any other alternatives like fixing the problem in Android 10 but I couldnt either.
Edit: I get the next error message when I am flashing the .ftf file that I downloaded there:
"Those data are not in the FSC scrip and will be skipped:
BOOT,DSP,FSG,MODEMST1,MODEMST2,RDIMAGE.
Do you want to continue?"
then I try to turn on my phone and get the message "your phone is corrupt and it wont start" or something like that.
I have owned several xperia phones in the past, the last one was xperia X compact and I remember (I could be wrong) that I was able to make a downgrade without unlocking my bootloader.
I succesfully downgraded from 10 to 9 using sonys flashtool with bootloader unlocked. But I'm not sure if it's possible to do it without unlocking at the moment. Why not just unlock the bootloader?

Would be helpful if:
Where to get the Sony flashtool. (link?)
You could provide a link to how to unlock the bootloader. and
You could describe the "Downside" to unlocking the bootloader. What "no longer works"? Such as, will it no longer apply factory updates? Will Digital Rights Management (DRM) no longer work?
Seriously, my XZ2 Compact H8214 keeps reminding me (several times a day) that a firmware update is available, and I am sort of "scared to death" to do it. All I read are negative comments about what Android 10 has done to ruin people's phone. Without a way to "go back", I am seriously thinking of just ignoring these messages for weeks and weeks.

Well first of all, unlocking bootloader voids warranty, then a number of several sony technologies will for sure stop working, Basically all proprietary technologies like audio, video and most importan thing, CAMERA enhancements, how I do know this? well because I have been reading a lot lately and also since some years ago, and by experience because back in the day I had an xperia x compact and I didnt remember to backup DRM keys before unlocking bootloader.
Anyway I have found a way to downgrade from android 10 to 9 without unlocking the bootloader, I am not sure about if I should make a new post with specific instructions( a guide) or just write them in this post.
Oh, yes. Please share. The more details the better. (Assuming that people "know basic things" is often incorrect. The things I don't know is FAR too big to list.)

I have downgraded from 10 to 9 using official flashtool from sony (with bootloader unlocked) and my camera, audio, video etc. still works just fine. Maybe I just got lucky, but I think that by doing it through the tool provided by sony itself it shouldn't break anything. Which in my case, it didn't. Btw, thanks for the guide ?

Or maybe you don't know what you do, and happy for the nothing.
If you unlock the bootloader, you loose the TA partition (DRM keys). Your camera quality is worst, and some features lost (ps4 etc).

I just picked up an H8314 for use on Verizon in the US and it has Android 10 already.
@Tom 23 can you explain more about what you did? Details? Are you using an H8314? On Verizon? I've read in the XZ2 forums supposedly now unlocking on Android 10 still breaks some stuff but now not the camera?
@williamgrant can you provide/link a list of exactly what breaks when you unlock the bootloader? Perhaps what breaks depends on what version of Android you're on when you unlock?
I'm trying to determine/weigh the pros and cons of unlocking to root are, if its worth it, what am I giving up...

Do you notice specific problems with the H8314 on Verizon? I have been delaying the Android 10 firmware update because I cannot seem to find many reports of "how it works on Verizon".
I've only been using it for a little over 36 hours, but so far nothing glaringly wrong. Keep in mind thought that 36 hours ago I was using a 2013 Motorola Moto X running Android 5.1... now I'm on Android 10... So there's probably stuff that is a bug that I don't recognize is a bug!
My wife's had her H8314 on Verizon for about 6 months and it's on Android 10 as well. If she's not complained to me about anything then that's good! Then again, she's likely not at the same "level" as XDA forum members are!
I too am interested in how to roll back to Android 9 if it can be accomplished reasonably easily without giving up a bunch of stuff.
I've been plagued with issues on Android 10. Even with the most recent update things have not improved. The two things most annoying to me are the drastically reduced battery life (more than halved!! it doesn't even last a full day anymore!!) and the fact that MMS do not download correctly all the time anymore. I've also noticed that camera quality has gone down somehow, even though Android 10 was supposed to improve it...
Hello folks
I successfully downgraded my XZ2 Compact (H8314) from Android 10 to 9 using that info: "https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82087435"
but I had a problem, I downloaded (using XPERIAFIRM) 52.0.A.11.32 South Korea version (I'm from Italy, but Italy version is not available) , every thing work fine except LTE (4G) signal, as frequency of two country is not compatible, then I installed Android 10 again and all was ok.
So... now my question is: do you know where I can found 52.0.A.11.32 image customized for Italy?
