Is there been any similar encounter on your end? If so how was it resolved?

I'm still fighting the USPS to find mine which they lost

My MPIE G7 is blurred pictures.
Was there a protective film on the lens of your.
On mine I see nothing or it is very well stuck because I can not scrape with my nail.

Sure it is. There're two versions of iRoot, a PC (Windows) version and apk version

Is there an easier way to unlock bootloader
Sent from my MP-G7 using XDA Free mobile app

I used the iRoot for Windows app successfully after trying the kingroot apk and the iroot apk.
The install triggered a malware alert and the install was initially blocked. I took a chance and turned off HIPS to get it rooted.
I uninstalled iRoot after rooting and a quick scan revealed no malware infections. :good:

My MPIE G7 unbootable. I need the original ROM and preloader

Not sure if I am allowed to post links but Google search for "need rom mpie g7" came up with something - 2nd link down.

Hello! I bought jiayu s2 from aliexpress. There are 2 problems.
1)Download speed is around 2-5 mbps. But with the same sim card (same mobile company), my old mobile mtk 6589 phone general mobile discovery (Gionee Elife E3) gets 5-13 mbps.Jiayu s2 is nearly % 50-60 slower than may old mobile phone.Upload speed is also low.
2) The time setting menu doesnt respond to my touch?I cant set the time.
What should I do? Do you recommend me to install android 4.4.2?

The long awaited Elephone P3000 is now around the corner. Below here you can read the announcement from Elephone. I may get this and post a Unboxing and Review later when I got it. What do you think about it?
•The JDI screen displays sharp and high quality pictures. Meanwhile, power consumption of the screen decreased. There is still power left after heavy use for one day, that has solved the power consumption problem that exists on Android 4.4.2 phones. The camera performs outstanding, and there are lots of options in the menu to fit the different shooting environment. The accuracy of the color reduction reaches 90%. It performs excellent in low light condition.
•Furthermore, the combination of MTK 6592 and 6290 works great for 4G LTE. MTK 6592 is a mature developed Soc that has stable performance regarding running complex functions such as games and multi tasks.
Elephone released the Elephone P3000 in two versions. The P3000 and the P3000S. The Elephone P3000 is the lesser equipped one of the two. The Elephone P3000 comes with a Mediatek MT6582 1.3GHz Quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM memory. The Elephone P3000S comes with a faster Mediatek MT6592 1.7GHz Octa-core processor and 2GB of RAM. Both of the phones have a 720p OGS IPS screen that promises good viewing angles and color reproduction.
Main Features:
Elephone P3000s 5.0 Inch
RAM: 2GB / ROM: 16GB
Android 4.4 KitKat
MTK6592 Octa Core, 1.7GHz / Mali-450MP
Radio/Modem: MT6290
Support micro SD (T-Flash) 128G
NFC Built-in
SIM+micro SIM card, dual standby
Support Gravity/Light/Proximity Sensing System
FM/MP3/MP4/Bluetooth/GPS Function Supported
Note: This phone will only work with GSM+WCDMA+FDD-LTE
Networks: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz FDD-LTE 800/1800/2100/2600MHz
Cons/Minus:
The camera flash is not 100% synchronized with the shutter.
Compass sensor gives erratic output
What should I say....
A MTK6592 quad core combined with a 3150 mAh battery, 4G network , 2GB RAM 16GB ROM, and pretty almost full frequency
Guess that should last forever ...
It seems to be a very good device.....
I've pre ordered, it looks a good phone
Interesting ! I may (pre)order it for a friend.

			
				
Good Phone.
Android or MIUI
Does this device ship with Android or MIUI? I read somewhere else that we will have a choice of what system installed on the device,right?

I think with normal Android UI only. Sometimes Elephone then later upload another ROM in their forum (http://service.elephone.hk/forum.php).
Post #1 now updated with FULL REVIEW & GPS TEST video.
I wonder if it's a trustworthy device or if a lot of malfunctions will be appeared in the future.
The Elephone P3000s is a wonderful device so far as i can see. :good: and the awesome fingerprint scanner looks fancy alway like it

What malfunctions? everything works fine on the phone - you should know if you check the review. Only I must say that the Fingerprint scanner is just a gimmick for me. I don't really use it. And if your fingers are a little sweaty you sometimes have to do it twice before it can scan the finger correct, but it's not a big deal. Things like, WiFi, reception, speed, RAM, GPS, display, 3D games etc. works perfect for me on this device.

I am cautious to buy this device because some elephone devices in the past appeared problems. It's a very low cost devise for these specifications so I am afraid of low manufacture quality.
How would you characterize the external material and the quality of the device?
Do you advise me to risk and buy it?

Well, I already told my opinion in my video review. If you should buy it or not is up to yourself. Everything works fine for me on this phone. Previous Elephone models had problems with the battery draining too fast, or that you had to tap 2 times sometimes before it would react, on the P3000S the touchscreen seems to be better and the battery is also really good.

Is it possible for every phone to be rooted and it will became rootable in the future?

LOL that is completely nonsense where did you read that? all Elephones comes pre-rooted from stock with SU when you buy them. It have been like that since the G series from Elephone. In my Review video in post #1 you can also see that it has SuperSU installed.

That depends on the provider, in USA the providers don't all use the same network bands. That vary from provider to provider making it very hard to answer that question. The THL 2015 supports 2100/1800/2600/800 MHz on 4G/LTE. Better ask your provider if they support these bands or not.
Good, I am buyer of a phone, it thl 2015 or this jiayu s3, ...
can tell me how is this phone .. it has can put some thoughts on it, bugs ... costum roms, ... and lollipop, update .... thanks
Interesting.
I'm going to be in Europe for part of this summer and while I was leaning towards the Elephone P7000, I was concerned that it would not be available in time. I have settled with this phone, and it should be in my possession shortly. I'm somewhat disappointed it ships with Android 4.4, but I'm hopeful it will receive Lollipop soon.
Does anyone know how heavily skinned this phone is? I'm wondering how close we are to AOSP.
Got one this morning after pre-release ordering at coolicool, with DHL +£15 tax to the UK, seems good so far, expect they'll give us 5.1 from 4.4.4 soon, noticed quite a lot of their stuff here http://www.needrom.com/category/thl/thl-2015 think I'll use Nova launcher for now, just under 41,000 in Antutu, keep us posted if they can be rooted if it's later required.

It can be rooted by VRoot_1.8.2.13135.
I already done that at the weekend.
I tried to create custom recovery by autocreate TWRP with no success.
Gravity box also not compatible with the latest xposed framework yet
Is this any use? http://playfuldroid.com/how-to-root-thl-2015-in-less-than-an-hour
Would there be any version of CyanogenMod available to us if it does start working rooted?

Just root it with iRoot in 20 seconds, after that replace the chinese SuperSU with the normal SuperSU from the Play Store.
See in this video here how to root KitKat, from time 4:44 in the video (must be seen on a PC, not mobile device)

There will only be CyanogenMod if someone makes it for the phone, so far I haven't heard or seen any working on a port for the phone.
Put Bounty On Device?
Does anyone know of any websites that I can use to place a "bounty" on a device? I'd like a 5.0 ROM, and I'd be willing to put money into a pot that is awarded to the first person to complete this task. Does XDA support this?
wifi

I just pulled out my multimeter, the dimensions are as follows: 71.80mm wide, 8.34mm thick, ~146mm long.
The device doesn't support AC WiFi.

Thanks for the info. Not good news.
Guys, do you also have a very low picture + camera quality? Any advice if I can change that?
Could someone check for me if the display is amoled? Please turn on black background on some lcd test app and check inside dark room if the display give some light or is completly dark.

Check post #1 I already show it in the full Review Video there, under LCD test/backbleeding test! The phone has no AMOLED. That is wrong info by some webshops.
Hi
thl2015 supports GLONASS? has gorilla glass 2 or 3?
Regards
Compass and Gyroscope
Hi guys, what about compass and gyroscope? Is Google Skymaps working properly. Thank you!
hello! whether on this phone to upgrade to Android 5.0?
No Android 5 update from the manufacturers yet, have had one OTA update from THL but not sure what it did. Does anyone know why some apps find this phone as rooted even without rooting it? I'm trying to get SkyGo to work (they are strict for DRM tv viewing) and also Trustable by Bluebox lists it as rooted out of the box - with some issues that THL should probably be working on too. Is there any way using it rooted to remove all the files that makes these apps think it is rooted then use the unroot option so aps like SkyGo would then work?
Also noticed Recovery TWRP over on needrom if this is any better than iRoot method?

Actually I wanted to, but now it seems to be hard get my hands on one. Most shops for some unknown reason do not recommend this model.
I know that GearBest have it in stock. As I've been looking at it. Out of interest what phone would you recommend most out of the ones your reviewed? I currently edging towards the Jiayu S3 Advanced (3gb version). But I've read that apparently it comes with malware installed on it. Have you come across this?

No I didn't have malware on mine, and if I had, I would just root the phone and remove the malware. But yeah the S3 is definitely a good choice.

That was exactly what I thought. Plus the S3 comes pre-rooted anyway, so you just have to enable it in the settings. It couldn't be any easier really. The only issue I'm having now is deciding where to buy it from. I've only ever used Merimobiles before. But I've read good things about Banggood and GearBest. Which would you recommend?

Hi there,
someone could post the original rom with the recovery.img ?
I bricked mine and to recover it i used a zeaplus m7 rom.
The zeaplus rom has less fonctions than the mijue.
Thanks in advance.

mine is totaly different
1 compared to the v1 of elephone p6000 (broken) and v2 p6000 the battery is much cooler is quite cool to the touch
2 my example has a more longer lasting battery they even gave me two covers one transparent and one s-cover clip on
3 i bought it at a later production run actually one whole month after the first gen phones where launched are you sure that phone is really a mijue and not a imitation even unknown phones are copied i think china does not know what copyright infringement actualy means?
4 my supplier never failed me yet can not vouch for other suppliers or customers every one has different experiences
dont like it move on or change you supplier for someone with a better reputation might give you better phones?
just a thought
good luck with your next supplier as the one you've chosen is clearly crooked

Price?
How much it cost?
Wow...HOMTOM look like they have lifted their game... This looks like a really decent phone....I wonder what price tag they put on it. But it certainly does stack up in terms of specs. I would love to be able to have a test run of it. If anyone knows how much please let me know.

Hi,
Nowhere seems to mention if the frontal selfie camera brings a flash too. Does anyone know? I have a UMI Touch and it does have a frontal flash which is very convenient. Thank you.

Really appreciate it.
That is because I read from this;
http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/334d3c04
Primary Camera is 21MP but video resolution is 2MP.
and I am kind of worry to buy it.

Hi Tayibe,
Since you got the phone, why don't you share some photos and video of the front and back camera quality?

Hi,
was wondering have you got the phone?
I have the phone, the camera is not that great. Decent sensor but too much smoothing. Hopefully can be fixed with a software update.
I have it for over 2 weeks now but not really tested it till now. My phone reboots nearly 10 times every day, thats sad. But there is new software from 2016-09-14 I have not tested yet. First I wanna backup the complete FW but do not find the right files like twrp or something else. MTK Droid Tool can not root the phone too.
Sad to hear all that.
Hope software can render better pictures and solve reboots.

Yesterday I made a Download with SP Flash Tool (no Upgrade) and got the new Firmware and a Factory Reset -.-
But the reboot problem still exists
My main complaints with the HomTom HT10
HARDWARE ISSUES
compass isn't available
NFC isn't available (it was advertised but removed!)
OTG isn't available (it was advertised but removed!)
network reception is bad (3G/4G)
Wi-Fi reception is bad (3G/4G)
not detecting/connecting 5Ghz Wi-Fi networks
audio speaker quality (distortion and not enough bass)
battery losing energy way too quickly
camera quality is bad on low light situation
SOFTWARE ISSUES
- battery saving mode is too aggressive (cannot easily modified for a bunch of Apps)
languages preferences are lost if IDLE or turned off (if you set french language it will comeback later to Netherlands. it could be because Belgium country has multiple official languages (french/nederlands/dutch) or if because the smartphone was shipped from .nl post)
- defaults apps choice in settings is too limited
- If you choose to protect your device with a password (PIN/password/pattern) for intrusion your device is going to freeze and you will have to reboot !
- hardware navigation buttons cannot be modified / edited
- HomTom OS is much less complete than MIUI8 (or even UMI OS)
MAJOR MISC PROBLEM:
There is no official forum to post bugs reports !
There is no updates or fixes for those issues announced.
There is no tutorials yet to flash/root.

homtom ht10 scratch
Hello, objection to this cell phone ht10, i know i will not use but i have to write, which is not that it is karst but is rubbish, its gsm connection is not it, even in indoors, means in the room, no signal loses signal if it is covered i lost a total signal, i have a private rental company and because of that karst i lost 20 guests, i did not realize i did not get a signal, android softwer 6.0 is the same karst i can not make a shortcut, i can not call because we the first instructions are inserted and after a couple of typing the connection is terminated or they can only receive the call! all in all the karst scratch of the cell phone!
Yes and I still forgot the camera in the dark room or the object was not flashing the picture was black, wifi bad as it should be rolling, there is more but the lesson is that the device is rubbish, garbage, waste, fuj from the device !!!!!
