Mstar S700 (Review) 5.5" HD, Touch ID, MTK6752, 4G LTE, Android 5.0, 2GB RAM/16GB ROM - Device Reviews and Information

Mstar S700 (Review) 5.5" HD, Touch ID, MTK6752, 4G LTE, Android 5.0, 2GB RAM/16GB ROM
The Mstar S700 is the EVIL twin to the Mlais M7 it is very similar in design and specifications, but the Mstar is up to 40 USD cheaper. But does not have touch buttons with backlight like the Mlais M7 does. Also the rear camera is only an OmniVision OV and not Sony IMX135 like in the Mlais M7. And last but not least, the S700 comes with 2GB RAM, where the M7 has 3GB RAM. So they are not exact the same.
UNBOXING
REVIEW
Notice: The GPS actually seems more stable and accurate on the Mstar S700 than on the Mlais M7.

No, as cameras (and then also drivers) are different, also only the Mlais have backlight in the touch buttons, also controlled by software.

Have anyone found the original stock ROM yet for the phone?

mlais and mstar is not the same, before you flash something that you dont know, make sure that you have a stock rom from mstar, but that moment mstar dont have it for customers, so, you can brick the phone, first make a copy from your boot and your recovery with adb and than you can flash first the recovery from mlais, only recovery first, if works, maybe yes, you can root without the boot, by the way, my mstar arrives tomorrow and i can make more test.

Yeah actually I wrote these steps. But before we do it like that we need the original scatter file and original recovery.
The scatter I included in the RAR file is only for the Mlais M7 not for the Mstar, so please don't use that on the Mstar. Only the recovery is needed to flash, not the boot.

i am starting a forum for mstar users, is for spanish people but english is welcome too.

Right ! I'm waiting... The problem with this phone is the little space in internal for installing applications (1,94 GB). We need to root for move applications on SD card with SDlink or others.

Welcome bro.
Need some help
Development team! I really need some help. I have a blu life PURE (Rebrand Gionee Elife e6 - Mediatek 6589T). My last rom was COLOR OS Rom for QMobile Z4 (also rebrand Elife Gionee e6) , everything great, but I wanted to try another rom, so I flashed via CWM the rom z4Amigo for Qmobile, but it gave error status 7 on CWM, and I couldn't Install it. I already had wiped data and factory reset, now my phone is stuck on boot logo. I tried to flash other rom with SP Flash Tools, I use windows 8.1, my blu is recognized normally, but SP always gives error 8037, even if the scatters are with the same values! Now, I do not know what to do, maybe the problem is with my SP FLASH TOOLS, maybe with my Windows, I don't know, I can't mount USB storage with CWM recovery, what would save me! So, I see no solution, I would be thankfully if someone could help! Thanks in advance =)

I will buy this phone from pandawill,since I dont trust bad fastcardtech,that sold me faulty phone and they dont repair it..
Just received.. very good first look!
I have had 2 other p6000 in the past months, this new "refresh" with octa core, seems to be great!
Pros:
- Very good rom Stock 5.1 date 17th august 2015,
- Good touch 5 points
- Good sound (a little bit low, but in engineering mode you can get it louder)
- Good screen brightness, colors , and calibration via Miravision settings)
- 3Gb ram are HUGE! (2,5Gb free after first start).
- Very good performance of GPS (glonass assist working correct) fix in 10 seconds and catch about 14 satellites (in Italy).
- No issue about app compatibility from play store, and the cherry on the cake is the possibility to install suspersu from play store and have a rooted smartphone withour custom recovery or other annoying things!
- Improved main camera to Samsung 8Mpixel f/2.4 (the old one was sony/samsung 8 mpixel f/2.8)
P6000 pro bring also a new main camera Samsung S5K4H5 8Mpixel f/2.4 (interpolated to 13 Mpixel sensor size 1/4") not bad for the segment
.. Selfie camera 2Mpixel GC2355 f/2.8 (5 mpixel interpolated sensore 1/5")
Antutu score more than 36000 points!:
Geekbench 3 score also very good 621/2891 points:
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/3341328
Battery impressive with antutu testo of SOT more than 8h and 30':
http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/105818
now the CONS:
- NO OTG support like the old P6000
- Slippery and heavy as the old one (i prefer a texturized of threated back cover to have more grip)
- No Silicone/Tpu available on aliexpress (only Just 3 Blaster/Spacer 2 from ebay, but cost more than 10 €
- NO Smart Wake or Gestures to wake up phone !!!!!
- A little hot (on camera zone in the rear cover) during surfing/benchmark
- Design not updated
Ask someone help me for recovery twrp. I can give you stock recovery. Thanks
*Edit: thanks to our great Contributors HypoTurtle, Youngwe and Carliv .. we have at least CWM recovery for P6000 Pro.
http://www.needrom.com/download/cwm-carliv-6-from-hypoturtle/
TWRP Recovery made by HypoTurtle works, but no Touch (caused by the kernel).. and without OTG support you can't use mouse to use Recovery.

I got my P6000 Pro this week, it's very nice!
I would love to see CM12 developed. How can we get it started?
I notice the P6000 Pro has the same CPU (MTK6753) and GPU (ARM MALI-T720) as the Elephone P8000. The kernel for that is released by Elephone here: https://github.com/elephone-dev/P8000-Kernel

Yes, but the kernel of p8000 is not completely the same as our p6000 pro, in fact, trying to use custom recovery of p8000 on p6000 pro, results in a stuck at logo..
Probably, custom can be ported if elephone will realease also kernel of P6000 PRO.

Hi friend, we have just asked to elephone, we will wait for answer..
In your case, you have had root before update ?
Can the generic MT6753 scatter be used with SP Flash tool to flash an Elephone P6000 Pro? That is easily found online.
You could then try flash the Flyme ROM that is published on the Elephone forums.
Martin
Is it possible to root this phone? I hesitate to order because there is no community(activity).

Yes, sure, with stock rom of 19th august, is only necessary to download and open supersu from playstore, to have root rights, without any other issues..
The only issue is with root and ota update of 10th september, it will remain blocked at boot after ota apply.. And no stock rom available fro restore phone

Here are the scatter files. P6000 Pro has MT6753.
http://androidurdu.net/mediatek-scatter-files-download/
I believe we can read the stock ROM using SP Flash. If someone with a working phone reads it, and then shares it with someone with a phone that is bootlooping... should be able to restore it back to working?
Instructions to read back from SP Flashtool:
1. Load the Scatter file (download from above)
2. Select the 'Readback' tab, press 'Add' to add a range
3. Double click on the row that appears in the table. Type a filename to save this memory range to (Eg. recovery.img if you're reading the recovery memory area)
4. Enter the start address and length of the section you are reading back - copy them from the scatter file.
3. Push 'Read Back' button
4. Remove the battery from the phone
5. Connect the phone to USB. No need to power it on. It will connect and commence reading. The recovery memory range took about 3 seconds to read back.
6. It will say 'Readback OK' and you will now have a img file from that memory range.
Thanks i'll try on my working p6000 pro later
Please try my partial backup:
***edit if doesn't work, please select only system. img before flashing.
The package seems to be incomplete, causing pmt changed message on flashtool, good news by the way, from Elephone, Ethan give me answer about availability of complete stock rom. In few hours on elephone forum

How can the kernel issues be solved? Is there a developer, who knows twrp kernel and how to modify it for getting P6000 Pro work?

yes sir, GT9XX_hotknot..
Sorry bro, CWM recovery created has some issues.
After loaded correctly, it restarts the C55 after some seconds (10-15) and .. also without using any functions of CWM.
It's very strange and first time in my experience so far..
Any suggestion? can you help me to find solution ?

Ok thanks for the confirmation.
Not sure about the CWM maybe we are now just finding it's limits with LP5.1 and the newer SoC.
After all we are still using something made for the mt6595 on KK.
This is why we really need a working touch as TWRP will soon be the only recovery able to cope with the new android versions (M) and SoC's
I will have a play with CWM when I get the phone.

in the meantime a round up between Umi Iron, Siswoo C55 and Meizu M2 Note:
Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum - so I hope it's the right place to ask : Somebody installed Xposed on the Siswoo C55? I just tried and got in a Bootloop.

how did you installa Xposed?
i's only possible to install xposed with double step procedure
1- install xposed zip from custom recovery (according to arm 64 bit cpu and sdk22 for android 5.1)
2- install the apk after reboot
no other ways.. or if you try, you have for sure bootloop

Yeah I did it that way. I finally managed to install Xposed, but it actually made a factory reset. That wouldnt bother me, but the home button, the notification bar and the data did not work anymore.
great phone

I don't use CWM Recovery. I use TWRP and didn't have any problems with it.

Yes, I used OTG mouse! I finally managed to put xposed on my phone. I deinstalled greenify before xposed installation and it worked. I don't know if that was the poblem, but it seems like.
Thanks for your help!

Just got it today bro :victory:
I spent all day trying to get Philz, CWM to stay booted and stop force closing
I even gave TWRP a shot in the vain hope I could get the touch to work but no luck.
Still I did manage to get @carliv CWM v3.3 working :victory:
I just need to fully test it first by doing some backups, restores, wipes, etc etc :fingers-crossed:
I am going to bed now for some well earned sleep :laugh:
Very good news... and very good work! [emoji106] [emoji4]
CWM and Philz Recovery
Well here are the fixed versions ported by me for the Siswoo C55 (Still no touch that's a kernel issue not a recovery one)
First is @carliv CWM (Swipe version it has slightly larger font which I prefer being old :laugh: ) Thread here for thanks
Next is @yuweng Philz recovery very Thread here for thanks
Be sure to visit both the above and give thanks to them.
I have siad it before and will say it again that without @carliv original work NONE of mt67xx 64bit based devices would have a custom recovery it's all thanks to carliv's original efforts that anyone has a custom recovery on these devices. So Big thanks to carliv :highfive:
Big thanks also to my friend @yuweng again without yuweng's original MTK development we would be years behind where we are now. :highfive:
I have Posted both recovery's on needrom here
PS: Do not mirror or host these elsewhere please
Simply link to this post or needrom so that proper credit is given to the right people.
Don't forget to hit my thanks button too :laugh:

Highlights of OPPO R7S :
- 5.5 Inch Screen, 1920*1080 Pixel
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 1.5GHz Octa Core
- 4GB RAM + 32GB ROM
- 13 MP Back Camera + 8 MP Front Camera
- Color OS 2.1 (Based on Android 5.1 System)
- Band: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz, WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz, FDD-LTE B1/B3, Support 2G & 3G & 4G LTE Network
Is any dev getting this device? ColorOS is pretty boring on this and it has a lot of potential for CyanogenMod, on the plus side the R7 Plus is already in CM merges
i guess it will be over $400 according to the official.
In Australia I got one for $AU529. It is a good phone.

make sure you copy the "Oppo Tools 1.6.5" to your internal memory and enable the option to install unknown apk (in security settings)
make sure it is version 1.6.5. I read that version 1.6.4 is not working.
install Oppo Tools 1.6.5
once you install Oppo Tools (pretty big apk around 60-80mb) start the app. there will be a root option.
click root after that it should ask for reboot.
i took a screenshot of my Rom Version and root validator for proof.
Just some information Oppo Tools does not work on build No R7sfEX_11_151210.

flashing will wipe your data. so make sure you create a backup of your data and copy them to your computer.
flash the previous firmware here using the stock recovery
follow this guide here
here is a short summary for reference to everyone looking to root this phone with OppoTools 1.6.5:
Firmware: "R7sfEX_11.A.04_INT_004_201511111804" = rooting works with Oppo Tools 1.6.5 (Tested and Confirmed myself)
Firmware: "R7sfEX_11_OTA_005_all_wipe_201511191402" = rooting works (Confirmed by stupidfellow1997)
Firmware: "R7sfEX_11_OTA_006_all_201512101004" = rooting does not work! Oppo blocks OppoTools in this Firmware from doing so.

Official Launch (blog)
Ulefone has just released a new 5-inch device named Ulefone U007 (yes, 007!), a budget phone with low specs but also with low price (they declare more or less 60 USD).
As a 5-inch device, it is a pretty compact smartphone supported by HD (720p) resolution, good enough for a small device.
U007 is equipped with Sony IMX149 camera (8MP), interpolated to 13MP, supported by the 5-piece lens kit and F/2.0 aperture. Ulefone says the 2MP front camera, interpolated to 5MP, will offer above-average experiences. (maybe some software additions?)
It packs the quad-core chipset MTK6580A (clocked at 1.3GHz) which should be sufficient for daily use and according to Ulefone official video, racing games like NFS: Most Wanted runs quite smoothly on this device.
It will come with Android 6.0 pre-installed, and Ulefone promises they’ll constantly release OTA Updates to improve the software as they do for their other products.
Similar to the Ulefone Vienna, it features an unified plastic body with brushed finishing, but this time that haven't adopted the side-mounted SIM tray on it. Instead, they choose to allow users to take the cover off to get access to the SIM cards slot (separated) and MicroSD card slot.
Also this one, just like the Vienna, has adopted the BOX sound chamber for better music experience, so speaker quality should be pretty good.

Disclaimer: I do not own this device, do not ask me support question because i won't be able to reply you.
Has anyone received this phone?
Almost over a month of ordering and everbuying.net has still not shipped it yet, saying to wait another 10 to 15 days.
