Guest dakok Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Being an unknown brand, ET100 is not a very popular buy so I decided to make a short review and upload some basic stuff to make life easier for potential buyer or new owner. Phone is bought at Focalprice store while having 9% discount. Together with aud->usd conversion (which is not favorable now) it turned out to be $120 or 75 GBP. Now it can be found at $130 - $140 It travelled by China airmail for 16 days + 10 days hold at croatian customs ($30 :(). Package is stuffed as usual except for earphones and mains EU adapter. Screen protector was correctly set, except for 2-3 bubbles. I couldn´t glide on it with ease, so I pealed it off. :) Unboxing video: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4huyVgvdssGYmgzUkdneUM1a1E/edit?usp=sharing Specifications (official): Color: porcelain white Network frequency: WCDMA Frequency: 2100MHz GSM Frequency: 850/900/1800/1900MHz Size Approximately: 137 * 66.6 * 9.9 (mm) Weight Approximately: 145g (with standard battery) Operating system: Android 4.2 CPU: MT 6589 1.2GHz Quad-Core GPU: PowerVR SGX544 Memory (RAM): 1GB Memory (ROM): 4GB SDcard suppor:t 32GB MicroSD Screen Size: 4.5 inch Display resolution: 960X540 pixels Display colors: 16,000,000 colors Display: IPS Touch screen multi-touch, capacitive screen Camera: Back 8Mpix, Front 2Mpix Flash LED light Battery capacity: 1800mAh Talk time: up to 210 minutes 3G, GSM up to 330 minutes Standby time: up to 130 hours 3G, GSM up to 150 hours Music Support: wma, amr, midi, wav, mpeg, mp2, mp3, ogg, aac, 3gpp, imy, m4a and other audio formats Video: AVI, MP4, 3GP, F4V, MOV, MPG, WMV, MKV, FLV, etc Manufacturers website Design details (click to enlarge): Build quality is good, no squeeks while pressing back cover, no flexing and screen distortion while hard pressing on screen. Viewing angles and screen brightness (click on image to enlarge): From left: ZTE v987, ET100, Huawei G300 - Screen is set to max brightness for all 3 phones. ET100 screen is very bright with nice looking colors. Viewing angles are very good. Several specifications by CPU Z and Mobileuncle (click on image to enlarge): Impressions: Phone feels very light in hand. Back cover plastic is good, doesn`t seem to attract grease. Screen is briliant, not a bit worse than ZTE v987 (which is perfect). I found a mild shadow in screen lower bottom left side. Doesn`t bother much, though. You can´t notice it except for when screen is white and even then it is not very noticeable. Edited October 4, 2013 by dakok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dakok Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Reserved for root, cwm, roms Download I used universal adb driver with eroot tool and it worked fine on win7 64bit PC. Later, when trying to make CWM recovery, I had to use PDAnet 64bit driver (STEP1-64-BIT-ONLY-ADBdriver.exe) I made cwm v5.0.5.4, and installed it thru Mobileuncle tools, but it doesn`t load with vol+ & power button procedure. Only thru Mobileuncle -> reboot to recovery More than this is beyond my knowledge for now :) Edited October 4, 2013 by dakok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 How do you read that Band Mode info? Does it mean that it supports 3G (WCDMA) 1900 Mhz as well as 2100 Mhz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dakok Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 It`s mobileuncle tools app. For band support - not sure if that is real, but looks promising so I put a screenshot :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nordsig Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Hi Dakok. Do You know if there is anywhere i can get hold on the original rom for the ET100 ? Made an update i found on et139.com, but now i stuck with a chinese/english phone and a lot of Baidu apps. I did not make a backup before :angry: stupid me..... What i'm looking for is the rom with multilanguage (danish) or maybe an optimized one. Anyone who can help ?

Guest Frankish Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) Regarding the phone not booting into CWM, is fast boot enabled? Try taking battery out for a few seconds, then put it back and power on with volume up does it work now? Can always use Gravity Box and enable extended power menu. Reboot to recovery works in here too. Edited October 9, 2013 by Frankish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nordsig Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Sorry. forgot earlier to mention that my phone is a ET100 T45 where i need a rom file including danish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest franzmueller Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I know this thread is already kind of old, but yesterday I built my own CWM Recovery with Droid Tools and I finally figured out how to boot into recovery without choosing it from inside the system. Here you go: 1) Turn phone off. Wait for it to vibrate once (this shows you that shutdown is completed). 2) Take out the akku pack. 3) Connect the phone to your PC using the usb cable. 4) Hold Vol+ and Power. Don't let go until you are in CWM (don't let go when you see the boot logo). Voilá Edited January 16, 2015 by franzmueller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
