i picked 1 of these up off ebay is there a way to root it

I purchased one of these and i am having issues with it freezing after it swaps from 2g to 3g... It blocks all calling and sms/mms...
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.

THL 2015 4G LTE can be used in the United States?

Click to expand...

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?

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?

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?

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?

I have ordered one for my dad.

Phone looks great, let's hope it's as strong as the company says. Had a UMi Zero for quite a while which I loved.
At Chinese-smartphones.com they selected it as the 'best value for money' phone of April. What do you guys think? True or not?

Well that's convincing. The phone can handle something but he was able to break it whitout trying real hard still, a lot harder to break than an iphone or a Samsung

Great device, How about battery life and screen on time?

Any coupon for this UMI hammer? i saw 1949deal provides $3 coupon, coupon code: 1949deal0808. $126.99 is the cheapest price. I saw the drop test review on Giz, Really unbelievable, it has been dropped for more than three times. It still work, no smashing on the screen. UMI Hammer is so strong and tough.

Custom Recovery
Hi All,
Here is my ported TWRP Play Edition plus the STOCK recovery as you may need it for UMi OTA's.
Download Here
Flash with UMI's Rootjoy, Flashify from the Play Store, or Fastboot if you know how to use it
More Recovery's to follow when I get the Time
Enjoy.

Switch sdcard
About recovery, is a great work! Easy install and nice looking.
About sdcard like primary memory, the problem is that the external sdcard become sdcard2 and at the sdcard is the internal memory.
Any one know how to switch sdcrd2 to become sdcard?
I remember in the zopo 500+ was available a package to flash from the recory.

I assume you are referring to the ROM and not the recovery
To set external SD as Primary or "Default Write Disk" go to /Settings/storage/ and choose phone storage = internal_SD or SD card = External_SD
Just incase you are talking about the recovery
Go to /Backup/ tap on "Storage" and choose Micro-SD

I just ordered one.
I have a Elephone P8000, but I found that is a little bit too big.
But the Hardware specs (except for the display) seems to be just the same.
I will eventually try the Eragon or Nexus rom for P8000, if I succeed to install Philz recovery.

Ah, this one looks really nice and with juicy specs.:good: Anyone here recommend a review?

I got mine today... I'm testing it

Based upon to that the Elephone p8000 has the same hardware, it "might" be possible to used it's alternative roms. (on your own risk)
You will find them under the Elephone P8000 section.
There is at least two of them.
Eragon & a nexus rom.
I will try when I receive my K2

Until now just Sim1 not recognized.
I tried different kinds of Sims, but no way.
It worked for just 1 minute at the first boot up, but later...
No battery, GPS, WiFi and cellular connection problems
PS: there's no "user2root" option under the debugging section of the engineerMode
Any way to root this device?
PS2: I entered the bootloader (volume down + power button) and it's all in Chinese
Quick Update:
Sim1 problem still present... Battery problem after 15% too: it goes to "battery saving more" and the battery looses 1% each 15sec.... I'm thinking to ask my money back...

Sorry, but I havn't got the phone yet.
Though I choosed the fastest delivery....

@dave il barbaro There was some hickup with the pickup of my delivery at gearbest.com.
But it looks like I would receive the phone tomorrow, thursday. (if I'm lucky)

This phone seems to have flaws right now. At least mine have.
- Sim 1 not working.
- Wifi unstable, drops and slow, and almost not usable at all.
Hope there will be an update, and that it is not hardware related.

@dave il barbaro
My phone has arrived today.
Will pick it up on my way home from work and try to play around with it tonight.

I can confirm: SIM1 NOT working... (crap)

Maybe there are som bad batch of deliveries with problems. Did you buy from Gearbest?
Have seen videos with both sim:s working, one published yesterday, white color though.
Anyhow, how is your WiFi performing compared to other phone? Mine is like 1/3 of MBPS of my current phone or woirse. I db-analyser though I don't see that much of a difference, maybe a little lower sometimes.
Some wifi-networks refuses to connect and work as they should, since they work on my Honor 6.

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.

Homtom HT10
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.

Anyone bought it?
Any review of photo and video quality?

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.

Try here though I don't think they have released Nougat for HT10 & may never will!

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 !!!!!
