Guest dalyer Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 dakok - I know it probably duplicates some of what's already in this thread but maybe it's worth linking the top post(s) to this xda-developers thread as it seems to have clear instructions on how to do some basic stuff? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785891 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StratosGK Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) OK i found the problem. As borsog says it its important to presss OK on the assistant manager after the phone boots into ROM. The first time i pressed ok when the F1 logo showed up but it was wrong. This time i pressed ok a couple of minutes after the phone asked for my PIN number. It solved the problem. Edit: Is there a way to remove the left home screen with the news? It's pretty annoying...

Guest borsosg Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 You can remove it from coolshow / settings "show pi window" uncheck the box and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StratosGK Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Great! There is only one problem...i removed coolshow... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dakok Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Ehm... If this is not too much to ask, could both of you make some kind of first revision of this guide, just to make it absolutely clear for not-so-skilled user to understand. Even I am confused a little bit :D (for example - I guess that custom recovery (twrp or cwm) should have nothing to do with OTA - isn't that stock recovery business?)

Guest dalyer Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Just to clarify - there's no way to do OTA updates on a rooted stock? You have to revert to non rooted stock (e.g. 029)? I restored my stock (but rooted) 015 but it showed no sign of detecting any updates. There was also no app for updating - should there be? BTW - I had no SIM installed - does that matter? dakok - I was also confused by all that talk of TWRP/CWM in the context of an OTA stock update! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dakok Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I think that root prevents OTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest borsosg Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 This update is a zip file what automatically install the system from recovery. In my phone was a Chinese clockworkmod recovery basically what I change to TWRP. When I did the CPB flashing the recovery not changed. And when I updated from 029 to 036 TWRP asked me: want to fix root? I choose yes, so my phone is rooted with 036 official build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest corvettec3 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 hi, as it's available new 036 rom version, I think that would be helpful (also for me :) ) if someone makes a guide about upgrade coolpad f1 from 015 (with factory settings no root) to 036. I haven't undestood if it's possible to upgrade to 036 version with OTA or in another way? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 My understanding is that with stock 015 and no root you should just see 036 as an over the air update. Do you not? My plan is to revert to unrooted stock later and see if I then see the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest corvettec3 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Just went back to v15 and have had to go through 20,21,29 then 36, on my phone.... I bought my smartphone without root. Rom version is 4.2.015.PO.140321.8297W (custom build version 62). If I go to "system update settings", I read "unfortunately, settings has stopped" and I can't open menu. I tried to upgrade my smartphone with "system update" in menu ("about phone"): I push "check now" but I always read "your system is up to date" and everytime I try, smartphone upgrade only time and not rom version. So, how can I make upgrade from 015 to 036 ? I have to make root or can I make it by OTA? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dakok Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) I had the same thing. My way was to skip official OTAs (upgrades). I installed CWM recovery (my phone had multilanguage rom and root) and flashed several interesting roms. You have 2-3 options. 1) Leave 015 rom as it is. Install coolpad drivers, install china vroot 1.7.7 or higher on PC then CWM or twrp recovery thru mobileuncle tool. Make CWM backup, flash google apps and have fun with roms. 2) Flash Soda's factory rom 015 (but use boot.img out of rom folder) through Flash Tool (more risky, some knowledge needed) 3) Flash 029 factory rom we discussed today 4) Flash root.zip through recovery (find it on XDA) - not clear to me how to flash this one on a non-rooted phone (flash thru chinese recovery, stock recovery or thru flash tool?)

Guest Robi4ok Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) What's new in 036 version? What's the difference with 034 version? If there is no changes that you feel in usage i think no need to change my 034 version because i like it and there is no bug everything is working nice. Just tired with trying several ROMs :) P.S: I'll update to 036 if there is a list view animation :D Edited July 11, 2014 by Robi4ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Just went back to v15 and have had to go through 20,21,29 then 36, on my phone.... Ha ha! :D Same here... I think... I used this thread (which I mentioned earlier): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785891 to revert to stock Chinese/English 020. I was a bit nervous along the way what with all the Chinese stuff in the installers/GUIs, some pauses while installing and then a long delay while it rebooted - but it worked... :) When it rebooted and I connected to wifi it presents me with the 021 update. I guess I also have to go through all of the updates in sequence. One thing that bothers me is that if/when I root then I'll always have to revert to unrooted stock to get any further OTA updates? Edit: yeah - using the thread above I was able to go from stock 020 to 021 to 029 to 036. But I'm thinking of just trying the ATX "slim" 029 instead now.

Guest dakok Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) @robi4ok You might wish to try MyUI. Pletko and Borsosg say it's great. EDIT: List view animation is on custom factory roms released by ATX Team. You won't find that on coolpad official rom :D Edited July 10, 2014 by dakok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest StratosGK Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I am 100% sure that i was able to detect and download the update through OTA while the phone was rooted. But i wasn't able to detect the update with 034 FIRE team ROM. Maybe their modifications remove the OTA. The next time they release an update i will try it and keep you informed. @dakok The guide to install official 029 is as simple as borsog posted. If you follow his steps its pretty simple. I understand that when you are flashing with Coolpad Assistant and you are not in a bootloop, it's successful everytime. But if you have soft brick problems then it's not the way to go.

I had CWM installed, flashed the 020 CPB using Coolpad Assistant 1.82 and it reverted to the stock 3e recovery. You say that doing this (albeit with Assistant 1.80 and 029) left your custom recovery intact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest corvettec3 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) here I have found guide on official forum: http://bbs.coolpad.com/thread-2777219-1-1.html here is the link to download official rom 029(also posted on official forum): http://pan.baidu.com/s/1ntv7nGt password 4s2f on pan.baidu I tried to make download but it's too slow(8 hours). I tried to create an account but they haven't sent me sms on my phone to complete it. So I don't know if I make login the download will be faster or I have to install baidu accelerator?
