This thread's content might brick your device.
This is not a ROM thread, so I'm not going to answer again and again and again the same questions over and over and over again.
You can't read - quit this thread now. You can read but you can't understand more or less simple things - quit as well.
You can read and you understand things, but you are too lazy to read the whole thread before asking the question - watch this first. And quit.
This is what we know so far:

Some conclusions:
1. It's very nice to see that finally someone separated "internal sd card" from userdata partition. So it's no longer linked to /data/media, as it used to be on Asus Transformer, Transformer Prime, Galaxy Nexus etc. but it's a separate partition now - mmcblk0p14. Basically the biggest benefit from that is that now formatting userdata partition will no longer erase virtual sd card content.
2. It seems that NFC and WLAN deep settings are stored on separate partitions: mmcblk0p1 (wlan) and ? (NFC).
3. There is a 5th PHYSICAL core, but it's invisible to the system. Android only sees the 4 main cores. The 5th companion core is not controlled by Android. Tegra 3 architecture itself handles the load balancing between the main cores and the companion core. (Thanks to Diamondback)
4. There is no radio.img in current RUUs.
Download firmware for HTC One X (PJ4610000)
Firmware from 1.28.401.9 RUU
--- MD5 checksum: 83375DF988C86E92417AA8949012A1C2 *PJ46IMG.zip ---

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
interactive conservative ondemand powersave userspace performance
Some details about how Tegra 3 works on HTC One X:
1. While screen is turned OFF only cpu0 is online. cpu1, cpu2 and cpu3 are all offline.
2. I think that cpu2 and cpu3 are online only on heavy load. That needs to be confirmed.
3. While screen is turned OFF only interactive governor is available.
4. When battery is < 20%, CPU downclocks to 1.0 GHz.
Fastboot commands that doesn't work without S-OFF:
fastboot flash rcdata rcdata.img

Thats weird :s
Cpu0 to cpu3 = main cpu cores
Any sign of a cpu1p? (Cpu1p = companion core)

Yup just found out that companion core is cpu0 (explains why cpu0 is on all the time)
There is only 4 physical cores
Wow thought they had 5 physical cores, guess not lol
EDIT: ill double check to confirm
EDIT: yup thats what it looks like
The saving power core is cpu0, it enters LP2 state when saving power

No that is wrong. There is a fith PHYSICAL core but it's invisble to the system. Android only sees the four main cores.
The fith companion core is NOT, i repeat NOT, controlled by android. The tegra architecture itself handels to load balacing between the main cores and the companion core.
YOu won't find any traces of this companion core in the system.

Thanks for clearing that up, I was thinking its hidden but then looking @ kernel code, when idle cpu0 enters LP2 state :s + cpu0 is online all the time

Some time ago there was an official article from Nvidia about this topic, stating all those things, maybe I'll search for that
Having only that one core online probably means that in the end most of the time only the companion core does the work, but we don't really know.
Tegra handels that stuff on its own (and it does a great job btw on my Prime. Standby times are incredible.)

Unless Nvidia is lying to us in their official press releases, yes. There are 5 cores in a tegra 3.
4 high power cores and one low power core.
I am not an expert on that but this nvidia video shows the CPU core stress and it's running android of course. And thus app (if it's one) can see the companion core?!
So it needs to be seen by android os right?

Thanks, it was just a quick scan through kernel, ill have a more indepth look at it tommorow, its very interesting.
@youtube video: notice how the companion core turns off before main core go online?, why cant the companion core be turned on with main cpu cores? (Maybe it can be tested when device released).
Im very interested in this, well i could be very wrong, there may well be a fifth physical core, but dunno got a weird feeling about this
EDIT: I dont think it matters of its 4 or 5 cores though, cause its still powerfull!, but it makes more sense/ save money if its done with 4 cores

Yes I was thinking exactly the same thing about that.
If it would run on its highest level + the main cores there shouldn't be a huge higher battery drain since it stays under the 500mhz but gives more power to the app/video/game etc... Who knows what nvidia wanted to prevent with this, we will see and possibly be able to change that which would make sense (at least to me).
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
shaky you can see clearly five cores in the photo of the chipset, unless Nvidia is lying to the whole planet and the fifth core is just a disabled extra core to insure better yields lol
ofcourse the tradermarked 4-plus-1 term and the possibility of a massive lawsuit makes this highly unlikely
lookout the tegra3 slides and anandtech article, it says the load balancing is hardware locked and invisible to the system, although I don't really get it since they can still use the fifth core along the main four for Directtouch

Agree, just weird why they would keep cpu0 online
EDIT: has anyone tested with current tegra 3 devices? E.g. transformer prime?
EDIT: tweeted htcdev, waiting for reply lol
EDIT: ill have a look @ kernel today, i can confirm that cpu0 is always online, and only 3cpus go offline and cpu 0 enter what nvidea call a LP2 state
Sent from my Desire HD
If someone is really interested in this, here is an official whitepaper from Nvidia about the tegra 3.
http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/t...ecture-for-Low-Power-and-High-Performance.pdf
I might be wrong with the "invisible to the system" thing, they are not 100% clear in the paper about that.
But in fact the fifth core is not visible the "normal" android way. CPU apps only see the four main cores.
Sorry I'm not a developer so hopefully this doesn't sound too stupid... but this is how I would think it could be...CPU0 in the Kernel is just an address to the physical core and what is happening on the hardware level is that the address is being switched between the physical first core and the physical fifth core.
Possible?

ROOT:http://www.thlmobilestore.com/news/thl-mobile-phone-root-method/
After you root your phone you can install supersu from playstore and you ready.
You can also root it with the installation of twrp.
RECOVERY:http://www.needrom.com/mobile/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-kk-for-thl-5000/
Download from playstore and use MobileUncle to flash recovery, place .img file into root of your memory.
you have to have the twrp-2-7-1-0-kk-for-thl-5000 recovery.img file of your phone before you flash it put them in your sd card
Instruction :-
1 first root your phone
2 install mobile uncle tool.apk
3 open mobile uncle tool
4 select flash recovery then select the twrp-2-7-1-0-kk-for-thl-5000 recovery
5 then reboot your done with flashing recovery
Another way to install the twrp is with the flashtool, download it from needrom also download the factory rom from needrom, run the flash tool program locate the scatter file in the factory rom then go to recovery and locate the twrp file uncheck all the files except the recovery file ,then change to download only and press download, this procedure must be done without the phone connected, after you press the download button switch off your phone then keep pressing the red reset button behind the first sim slot insert the usb cable and then release the reset button the procedure should start if the procedure don’t start it means that you’re missing the preloaded drivers of mtk.
With this way you can also installed a factory rom.
Tips:Xposed Framework and Gravity box after the latest update v3.4.0 are working perfect.
For Titanium Backup and Mobileuncle to make it work,change the supersu,install this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser
if you want you can download the zip file and install it from twrp.
Factory roms:
http://www.needrom.com/download/thl-5000-16p128-mt6592t/
The latest version v1.0.8 can be update only from flash tool,fixed status bar lag,very fast more free ram,and wifi show connected but no internet access fixed.
Some pictures and info about the phone.

Great device
HHow about battery life and screen on time?
Yes excellent device, I have received the phone yesterday and I was trying to root it and installed the recovery so I don't have screenshots of the battery yet, one is thing is that the phone was at 4% the previous day and it last about 2 hours of 3/4 of use before it shut down.

Thank you for this post, I'm considering this for my next phone and I was wandering about rom customization. The original rom is good?
I don't know this brand, I'm wondering if it is compatible with cyanogenmod or miui, do you know?

Compatible with MIUI, it is easily ported throughout all mtk6592 devices. Not cyanogenmod though
It seems that the major drawback for development is mediatek not releasing the source codes, but they seem to be trying to change, they opened the mediatek labs to give support to developers. Don't know how this will work though... I hope they finally release the source codes soon.
Edit: I've seen a video stating this phone has an amprius battery, it's a company that is supposed to be making major breakthroughs in battery development... anyone knows how to confirm this?

This phone has a 4.35v 5000mAh 19.00Wh Silicon Anode Lithium-polymer (Li-po) Battery.
Amprius (Brand) is Lithium-ion (Li-ion) .... (Google it) ... http://www.amprius.com/
I'm leaving mine alone until the warranty runs out....Might root it though.
I'm just put in 'Next Launcher Pro' and using that rather than the MiUi.
The original rom is actual pure android with some themes,if you install the xposed framework and gravity box you can edit the rom as cyanogenmod,about miui sure,cyanogenmod i do not think so.

Got 2 of those in the mail
<Sorry if this is a little off-topic>
My first concern was the GPS - so I rooted one of them, installed MT GPS EPO Fix, FasterGPS & GPS Status.
GPS seems to zero in after 2 seconds. I'd like to note that when "sensor filtering" was set to "none" in GPS Status, it would see the satellites but not acquire a fix. With any other option it's ok.
(I didn't test the performances before applying these mods - I'll try it with the other phone later)

The procedure is this:
1)Download the firmware and unzip in one folder....
2) turn off the phone....
3) run flashtool and select scatter file from the firmware folder
4) in flashtool app... make firmware upgrade button if you want to flash all the firmware or download only if you want to flash only one file or a part of firmware... Like the two ebr files to increase the memory in primary partition
5)only now connect the usb cable to the phone
6) now the procedure will start... .. And you probably see the bars start.
Remember that if first you didn't have installed the drivers to recognize the phone you will hear only one o two beep that means that the phone is connected with usb cable but you will not able to flash it

Thank you couldn't flash it cause it needed the battery inside from the beginning
Has anyone rooted this phone successfully?
The shop where I bought it from replied to the same question that it isn't safe yet so they didn't rooted before shipping.
Sure... The procedure to obtain the right root is described in first page

I guess the first option for rooting this phone (using vroot) should be removed.
I downloaded from developer's site the "apk" file and the antivirus found a threat (I ve attached a screenshot) !
Then, I googled about the vroot application (as I ve never used it before nor heard of it) and I got results that vroot Windows application is concerned to be malware, even though a lot of people has already used it for rooting their phones .
Dunno, I ll just pass the vroot option. I ll post at a later time if I ever root this phone following the second option.

Quick review and questions
Thanks ghost45 for starting this thread.
My ZP920 arrived yesterday.
It seems pretty quick, but antutu froze during the 3d graphics test and the final score was only 32000 ??
Battery life seems very poor at present, down to 1% after 24 hours, although about an hour of that was on wifi, my old ThL W8 would do better. I've noticed that when I switch off and connect charger the screen immediately shows 27% charge, not the 1% before switch off. Anybody any clues ? faulty battery ?
Does anybody know which usb drivers are required and (ideally) a solid method for rooting the mtk6752 ?
I'm looking forward to progressing with this phone and hoping it is as good (well much better than) my old faithful - but slow - W8.

Hi, update,
Antutu v5.5 works well gives score 41450! (v5.6 still hangs at 3D graphics test ?? bug? also it doesn't list 64bit/32bit cpu test?)
Camera on mine works brilliantly for stills and video - skype video is best ever.
Battery life getting better after a couple of recharge cycles, now getting nearly 4 days mostly on standby.
Has anybody tried the Ghost45 rooting method yet ??
If I root manually (by su binary adb push from linux host etc) will this still void warranty and block future ota updates (i.e. to Lollipop)?

My Update :good:
- yes the camera, overall is pretty good, excellent with decent lighting
-battery life is getting better every day (i'm at the 5th recharge cycle): after a full working day with medium usage, i'm still at 71%
-i found a post on zopomobileshop forum explaining how to root the device with the alert:
Remember after received the right root is not possible to apply the update of new firmwares.
Still havent tried yet, was hoping to get Lollipop on it.

Hi,
I interested this phone, but i don't know what's about battery life. How many ours can you use the smartphone (time on screen in battery setting) in normal usage (wifi, 3G, games etc.)? Thank you in advance.
Could someone please run androbench and post the first 4 results. And if you run the benchmark several times, does performance drop significantly?
Thanks

Please make sure you power off the device before inserting sim cards.
You need to use the correct size sim.
Does your sim definitely work in another phone with the same frequency bands?
Robert what country are you in? What's your network?

Review
For those following my reviews you will notice that this one (and all other that might be released in the future) is different. Why? I don't want my reviews to be all the same anymore, so i am adopting this new format that is shorter, easier to read and without lots of photos.
Joining the battery phones area, the BLUBOO S3 comes with an huge 8500mAh battery (real capacity, confirmed with my USB Tester) but low/mid-end specsfor the 2018, probably the only real downside about this device.
Something that really impressed me is the amount of accessories provided in the box, absolutely outstanding, and here is a full list of them: 1x Type-C to Micro/Type-C/Lightning USB to charge other devices, 1x Type-C to USB A adapter, 1x Pump Express Charger (up to 12v), 1x USB Type-C Cable, 1x Type-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack adapter, 1x Extra Plastic Screen Protector and 1x Black TPU cover. The most complete set i have ever seen for a smartphone, seriously.
Nothing to complain about its build quality, it is well-made with no imperfections, even though i am not an huge fan of this plastic back case since it makes the device really slippery and doesn't feel nice in the hand. I like the visual effect though, similar to a grill. The weight that BLUBOO declares can be confirmed, 285g based on my scale, not extreme considering the metal chassis.
The FHD+ 18:9 screen is just perfect, pretty bright, with excellent colors and a reasonable refresh rate (not excessive smearing effect can be noticed). Bezels are limited enough, but could have been slimmer.
Something i have to complain about is the software. BLUBOO writes Android 8.1 on the box while the device runs Android 7.0 instead. Sure, i know that the website says Android 7.0 (upgradable via OTA to 8.1 soon), but you can't write false things on the box, instead "7.0 (8.1 via OTA)" would have been better and fair. I hope to not see this happening again.
Anyway, the Android 7.0 Nougat OS (usual Mediatek release) runs decently but its smoothness is limited but the chipset that isn't ideal to handle a FHD+ screen. An Helio P23 or P25 is the minimum for this resolution IMHO.
But, there is something really important to say about this software release: it doesn't come with any malware/virus unlike what happened with all previous BLUBOO devices. Well done BLUBOO for the positive change.
This is the first device, as far as i remember, that comes with a dedicated option to charge other devices. I am not sure if it does allow more than the usual 0.5A USB current, but i doubt it is just a placeholder option. Unfortunately i don't have an USB trigger that can be used together with my tester to show the real current, but if some of you can do this test, please leave here a post.
Confirming what i mentioned before, benchmarks are quite low due to the high-res display, but some of them (those not GPU-intensive) perfectly match other MT6750T devices.
Here you can see all of them: https://imgur.com/a/CeKxs6t
Unfortunately the GPS Antenna is the achilles heel of this device, completely unusable indoors (left), and just decent outdoors (right).
Average 4G signal reception with decent speeds, and the same applies to 3G networks. Unfortunately there is no WiFi AC support, but in WiFi N-mode 5GHz i am able to get the maximum speed from my internet connection.
Camera are slightly over average for a battery phone, with a Samsung 16MP sensor for both sides (back and front), holding the second primate about this camera configuration, never seen before. The back camera is able to shot sufficient photos, as noisy as on all Mediatek Devices coming with this camera sensor, and sometimes, without HDR mode turned on, photos seem to be over-exposed, but the amount of detail is impressive unless the amount of available light decreases. Let's say that it requires just some minor improvements via an OTA update.
Finally, the battery life of the beast. First of all, i need to clarify something about this MT6750T chipset. It is super power-hungry, not power efficient, and on this device it is stressed to the maximum due to the max resolution. What does it mean? It means that even with such a big battery, it is hard to get good results, and the PCMark Battery Test can confirm that, only 18h. The Helio P23, with smalller batteries, is able to exceed that result. Still, it is not a bad result, just don't expect miracles even though the battery capacity is real.
What to say about this device...if BLUBOO (or well, sellers) manages to keep the price low, i think it can be declared as one of the best Mediatek battery phones available on the market, as long as they maintain the promise about this declared Android 8.1 Oreo OTA update.
Recommended to those who don't mind about the weight and thickness about a device.
Device Rating: 8.3
Pros: Decent Battery Life; Solid and sturdy; Excellent Screen
Cons: No Headphone Jack; Outdated and slow Chipset; Disappointing GPS Quality
Waiting for my phone and someone to come up with TWRP recovery for this device so that I could install Magic Manager to it

Who's the first to publish TWRP for this phone? ?
And if someone could add the stock ROM to needrom.com so thus I could install Magic Manager to it ?
Anybody who has found out to mute the booting sound of the phone? It's pretty annoying, especially when the kids are sleeping and you have to turn on your phone.

BluBoo has provided the original stock rom and a S3 customized flash tool for download on their forum.

Some information about GPS: drove approx. 400 kms today and GPS never lost its track. So it ain't bad. Seen worse GPS antennas among Chinese Android phones.

hey Sensonic can you help us out with the files you used?
I found a version recently updated on needrom but Im not sure if something is wrong with it. I can unlock and flash it fine and use TWRP but thats where it ends.
needrom.com/download/twrp-3-2-1-for-bluboo-s3/
I get a request for a decryption password I dont have nor ever setup (phone is encrypted from the start in the menu) done the "default_password" ive setup a pin, swipe, etc and none of them will unlock.
I did some googling and people say to wipe the data but the phone just keeps returning to TWRP regardless of what I do.
Ive had to restore it with the original bluboo recovery just to get the phone to boot correctly again.
I must be missing something here.
edit: so I used twrp to update the boot with a magisk patched one then used twrp to overwrite itself with the stock recovery and now it boots fine with root. so kinda round about and I still cant use TWRP but at least it kinda works?

OK, goes like this. BTW, I'm not responsible if you'll brick your device etc.
You need:
-ADB Fastboot or similar
-Mediatek drivers
-SP Flashtool
-Bluboo S3 ROM
-TWRP img file
-patched Magisk Manager boot file
1. Unlock bootloader: Go to developers options and tick "OEM unlock" active.
Open ADB Fastboot (I presume you have MTK drivers already installed)
Connect your phone to your computer. Type "adb reboot-bootloader". The phone will boot itself to bootloader
Type "fastboot oem unlock" and press enter. Then push VOL plus on the phone. The phone will boot twice and ERASE ITSELF TO FACTORY SETTINGS.
2. When the bootloader has been unlocked, go back to developer options and enable USB debug.
Go to http://community.bluboohk.com/forums/topic/instructions-of-bluboo-s3/
Download ROM and SP Flash Tool (if you already don't have it on your computer)
3. Download TWRP img file: needrom.com/download/twrp-3-2-1-for-bluboo-s3/
4. Open SP Flash Tool, select scatter file from the ROM. Rename aforementioned image file to recovery.img and flash only that file to your phone. Now you have TWRP on your phone.
5. Power on your phone put the boot file of the ROM to your phone.
6. Install Magisk Manager APK to your phone. Choose "patched boot file" and point where you've saved the aforementioned boot file. The phone will save patched boot file to Magisk Manager's subfolder.
7. Connect the phone to your computer and save that patched boot file to your computer. Rename it to boot.img and replace the original boot.img file of the aforementioned ROM.
8. Open SP Flash tool, select scatter file again and flash only the aforementioned boot.img file.
Done. You have TWRP and a rooted phone :good:
Is there a reason to use the SP Flash Tool instead of fastboot other than flashing the entire ROM file? Is there anything different that the tool does from "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and "fastboot flash boot boot.img" that it should be used instead?

fastboot frequently mess up the partition layout on mediatek devices due to a poor implementation. Also, it forces you to unlock the bl, while with sp flash tool you can flash anything you want without unlocking it.
Hi All! Thanks for the info and review.
I have one of these and seem to have run into a couple of issues. Maybe the owners can help me figure things out.
1. I can't seem to get my Sd to work on my phone. I tried to format it on the phone but it gets stuck.
2. It gets hot, very hot when changing and pretty hot when I am using it for more than 5 or 10 mins.
3. For the life of me I can't figure out how to put the phone in silent (no vibration)
Any advice or info is thoroughly appreciated!

Many actually useful google apps are not compatible with this phone and google play store displays message in settings device not certified.
For example google pay app is incompatible.
Battery is also fake, no way it has 8500mAh capacity, it burns in minutes
