Greetings fellow XDA Users,
Let me get right to the point. A week ago my Cubot One arrived which I ordered from dealxtreme. Eveything was fine and I was very happy with the phone.
But 3 days ago I tried to change the resolution of the screen with an app from the Play Store and of course I did not backup my rom a really stupid thing to do on my part.
Now my Cubot One is soft bricked I think as it only boots to the android logo and that's it. I can still access the recovery menu but unfortunately I only have the stock recovery.
I have tried like literaly everything to unbrick my phone but nothing has worked so far. I tried to use the Cubot One T card upgrade and install it from an SD card but it fails with an MBR related error I think. I have tried to flash an older ROM I think V0.3 throught SP Flash Tools. I tried to only flash the CWM recovery through SP Flash tools again but that didn't work either. I tried to install custom roms through the ADB sideload ability of the stock recovery but nothing seems to work.
Is there any way I can repair my phone? Is it possible for someone that has recently baught a Cubot One running the V0.7 rom to do a backup and send it to me and instruct me how to install it? I would really appreciate any help.
I just want you to know that I am opening this thread as a last resort I have tried everything I have even tried the MTK Tools software but It doesn't recognize my phone possibly because It doesn't boot or I have lost the root and usb debugging previleges.
Can someone please give me a backup of the V0.7 ROM? I think that that is my last chance to save the phone.
Thanks in Advance.

Ulefone Be Touch OTA
Hi,
I have rooted my Be Touch and installed custom recovery as well using this guide
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-ulefone-touch-lollipop-t3132204
Now, there is an available OTA from the local reseller and I can't install it due to custom recovery. How do I update my phone now? The error I am getting is System is Damaged which I have attributed to CUstom Recovery upon searching google
I have the same problem to update phone. The downloaded update.zip file over OTA could be found in my SD-card, just 18.89Mb. I've tried to install it using recovery by choosing "install zip -> choose zip from sdcard". But finally I got following error:
...
Verifying current system...
"EMMC:boot:7262208:..." has unexpected contents.
E:Error in update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Hofefully someone could help?
yes same with me, I am trying sideloading with ADB but I do not know about that, unable to make a connection between PC and phone. Maybe someone has stock recovery image so we can perform the OTA update? Anyone can upload their stock recovery?
Reverting back to kitkat.
I tried flashing using spflash on my Ulefone Be touch, it was on lollipop and it did not transition to kitkat. it in fact got semi bricked but i got through that and fixed it. the phone was originally rebranded so it had another skin on top of it (not ulefone). how can i get it back to kitkat? do i have to root it and manually flash it on my phone? or is flashing a downgrade not possible by just regular means?

Here is the latest stock rom: http://ulefone.com/download/betouch.html. You will find the boot.img and recovery.img in the zip file. But I'm afraid to brick my phone to have a try. Moreover I don't know whether this root method could still work if I get phone flashed successfully...
are you using a rebrand? I already flashed the recovery of Be Touch, unrooted my phone as well but OTA is still failing, even manual zip install and sideload fails. I guess it is because my phone is a rebrand and thus, uses another recovery as stock. I have used this ROM as my base now and I can confirm that root is still working

I think my phone is not rebrand, because there is ulefone logo on rear cover. I got it rooted with Build 20150513 ROM.
With the rooted Build 20150513 ROM, I get phone flashed with official Build 20150529 ROM successfully. Afterwards, the root method still works!
yup and i hope we get new build soon with bug fixes! Does your phone get a lot of heat when charging and browsing 3G?

I've used several phones and can accept this one. More faster to change the phone more heat will get produced. Surfing or gaming will need more hardware resource and power for display, no wonder that it will get warm too. Maybe a metal cover will get heat better distributed, but then it will be sold in another price...

You should try 20150702 ROM. Phone is now not less hot when charging and surfing. I did flash back to official 20150529 ROM and then do the OTA update.
There is a ROM of ulefone be touch 2 on needrom !
Rooted Be Touch 2, Xposed, Loving it.
Hi folks. I used this process to successfuly root my Ulefone Be Touch 2. Instead of the provided recovery.img and boot.img, I used a version of Carliv Recovery and the Be Touch 2 boot.img found through needrom and it worked perfectly.
I was also able to install Xposed Framework by changing the Android version from 5.1 to 5.0 in prop settings (using BuildProp Editor) - which is fine since most say it's fake 5.1 anyway.
Does anyone know whether people have successfully installed custom roms to the Be Touch 2? I find the stock ROM laggy - more so than it should be - but I hesitate to install something like CM or Liquidsmooth without knowing.
Thanks again to the OP!!
Looking for Be Touch 2 Root and Recovery too! Any luck? Thanks in advance!
Download link dosen´t work
Hi, I don´t get the download link to work. I only gets the error code "403 forbidden". Can you please upload the files again, thanks.
[edit] Got it working, was just my antivirus that was blocking it for some reason
It worked!!
Thanks alot man.
I have looking for a root to this device since i got it, and now its rooted
I got this working on win10 (and also working on win8/8.1), but what you have to do is disable "driver signature enforcement". Check this vid if you don´t know how (youtube.com/watch?v=PAxTCvRmlio)
Please make a video
Please Im really new to rooting I have always had iOS and I would really appreciate it if anyone would like to make a video tutorial
Error while trying to root Be Touch 2
Hi,
After following http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-ulefone-touch-lollipop-t3132204 i get to the download part after selecting boot and recovery.
BDROM ERRPR : S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (5054)
[EMI] Obtain DRAM Failed!
[HINT] : Please check your load matches to your target which is to be downloaded.
And now the phone won't boot. It does detect when the battery is removed on com15, can I use any other tools to at least boot the phone?

Anyone happen to have a stock recovery img for this phone? Not sure what my son did to it but will will only boot to the Android system recovery screen.
I haven't changed the recovery image I have however rooted the device. If you can give me the 411 without altering the recovery I would be happy to help.
Would like some advice too. I have the 5042t aka the alcatel pop astro. Kingroot wouldn't with I even talked to their support and they said not supported. I sent them my error log. Ive tried adb as well but can't get it to connect. The only thing I can think of is it did an over the air update when I first got it and maybe if it was stock then it might work. I want to root to free up space. I have a 32gb memory card but can't use it cause no apps want to go there. The phone memory is almost nil.
5042t
Neeed system back for this phone (scatter file)
pls? My is bricked. I was trying to put a cwm recovery on it.

As long as you didn't do the update kingroot will work t-mobile is now shipping the phone with the update already installed which removes the exploit and the ability to root.
Here's the solution, hopefully. http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/guide-how-to-restore-alcatel-onetouch-t3313846
I have a nubia z7 with rom version 2.05 (Android 5 and Nubia UI 3), with google apps working without problems. Even youtube.
It took 3 days to figure out how to do it, without rooting the phone.
But some tools are needed...
I upgraded my phone rom (which came with version 2.26, a modified 1.26), put rom 2.02 then 2.03 and at last 2.05, which is the last one in nubia chinese site.
I used nubia rom updater, for the roms version 2.02 and 2.03 you have to decompress to each folder and point nubia updater to that folder.
The last one (version 2.05), i used option update of the phone.
Then uninstalled every chinese app. Downloaded gapps micro for android 5.0.1 and copy to the internal storage.
Then rebooted the phone with TWRP and installed the zip file. With TWRP root the phone, in advanced menu.
After that, i reboot into android system and made login into google play and updated everything.
It's a google phone now.
I think this should work for Nubia Z7 mini and Nubia Z7 Max
I hope this help someone

hi, i'm Senh0r. I had logged with an old account.
now you can uninstall all chinese apps ,that you don't want.
then copy file gapps to internal storage.
Check if you have port ADB selected, by inserting on dial number *#7678# , if not, select it.
Now run the TWRP, which is in chinese, when the menu show up, choose option 3 and wait for the phone reboot into TWRP.
When you enter in TWRP, on bottom of screen you can choose english language.
After that is only to install the zip file. don't check for signature.
Now it's only need to reboot phone.
To enter on TWRP you need always to run the program to reboot your phone.
Anything ask
greetings
Thanks for that. I got them installed but when I boot the phone I get a google services has stopped and the phone shuts down I'm
Not sure what I did wrong

having the same issue as helobot.
update to 2.05 no problem
But after installing gapps it crashes in the setup phase
any ideas ?
Did you rooted the phone before installing gapps by twrp?
Rooted from twrp, installed gapps, rebooted.
After a few minutes it started, google setup wizard.
It crashes with an exception.
Gonna give it a shot in a few
Call me an idiot, but I didn't make a backup of the delivered stock ROM KitKat 2.26.
Please have you guys an image? I am stuck for good.
And cleaned the cache and dalvik partition too? Mine its working with no problems.
Cleaned cache etc.
I could hit me for being so stupid to forget backing the original ROM up.
I can easily go to a stock Chinese ROM but at least a KitKat Google ROM would be nice.
Señor or anyone, can you provide a image of 2.26?
Unfortunately I didn't backup it either , but soon I will create a zip file with my Rom with Google apps installed.
I will check Nubia site for older roms too.
Getting the hands on an 1.26 is relatively easy, but the googlefied 2.26 seems to be rather hard to find ...

Hi, I have my phone with 2.26, I have rooted it with kingo, if you can provide me a custom recovery I can do a nandroid back up of complete rom.
Hi Steveyknoxville, Señor shared a custom recovery based on twrp and that works very well. I would really appreciate if you could provide us with the 2.26 ROM
The link is in the first posting of this thread.

Hi, I have read that senor twrp does not work on 4.4.2, are you confirming it does. My biggest question I need answered before I do anything is, if I install twrp how do I go back to stock recovery so I can do Ota updates to get to lollipop. Thanks.
Sorry but I can't confirm weather it fully works or not. I followed señor's guide and updated the phone. But if I recall the thread correctly from nubia cn forums the stock ROM should be a slightly modified twrp anyways.
Try just going into the recovery mode.
You should be able to backup the ROM.
Thanks for the invested time.
I'm wondering if anyone has had any success with the Oppo A57 and either rooting it with a recovery that's had the root option removed, or otherwise replaced TWRP with the stock recovery to do an OTA update.
I've spent the last week and a half realising that rooting my Oppo A57 was a horrendous idea (took me two days to get signal back, woops!) and now I'm regretti and have no spaghetti.
I followed this guide to root the phone, then I used flashed a zip which replaced the Chinese TWRP with an English one, which no longer has the option to root the phone. I've also accidentally unrooted the phone, but ColorOS keeps complaining that it's rooted despite its being not.
Oppo gives an option to 'remove root' by installing an OTA update; which then loads into recovery where I have no idea how to install said OTA update or even if it's a good idea or not. As far as I can tell there's no one who's released the stock recovery yet.
Thanks for any and all replies
I have had a similar problem with my Oppo A57, and as it turns out, the store i bought it off gave me a refund even though it was rooted. Perhaps you could try that? Sorry i couldn't be more help I've been looking everywhere trying to fix mine too.
My phone has no signal. You said you fixed that? How did you go about doing that?
How did you change the Chinese custom recovery to English

Flashed a zip which replaced the Recovery, flashed a different zip (findable somewhere in the 'how to root your oppo a57' thread) which fixed the signal issue.
Looks like there's still some issues with trying to root this phone...
Okay so I´m trying to flash original firmware to my oppo A57 using the MSM download tool and the problem is that it doesn´t recognize my phone in the download mode (or whatever it is called). Under the ´status of connection´ it says N/A. However the Qualcomm drivers are installed and when I checked the device manager it shows that my phone is connected. Any help in this regard would be most appreciated. Thank you!
Hi posting for helping my friend A57, he installed twrp and he doesnt going to install stock rom... always failed!
