[Guest userDJJ]

I don't remember the need for touching power button after the flashing started ???

Before flashing started.

I flashed several cpb roms with YGDP Tool and it went like this:

 

Wait few minutes for your rom to unpack. Click on Start button

 

Turn off the phone and connect it to PC / Laptop

Wait for YGDP Tool to finish the flashing procedure

 

 

No need for power button there...

I want to install 4.2 041 and after install morelocale.

I have downloaded official 041 but I have not decided if install official or custom version by atx. What do you advise?

 

Has anyone custom 041 by atx on google drive, because baidu is very slow.

 

041 lite rooted 427.3mb: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1gdf5T1x

041 root lite 417.3mb: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1gdnD155

 

I don't know the differences between 2 versions. Thanks

I totally agree and i also have done it many times.

The phone is connected to the pc turned off.

if the flashing procedure doesn't start and the phone starts charging then disconnect wait a little and connect again

or connect the phone without battery

There is no point DL from CN (baidu) servers without Orbitdownloader.

 

Install virtual box VM and inside windows xp tiny rev09.

 

link for Orbitdownloader

btw, when baidu dl address start with "http://some_number/lx." , replace "lx" it with "ws" -> "http://ws."

So use one of the browser plugin downloaders mentioned?

[Guest xeros2]

Thanks! DownThemAll plugin works great.

Hi, now on my phone I've jonzalvo pure v2. To install 041 official rom, can I flash it by ygdp ( replacing custom recovery with stock recovery to make root) or with coolpad download assistant ? Before I fash it, should I make a factory reset ?

 

 

If you're flashing a rom in CPB format then no reset is necessary.

 

 

Turn phone off, run YGDP, config -> choose right phone model -> apply (now wait untill it unpack cpb) then replace recovery.img, click start, now turn phone on with power button, if you have proper drivers and no other phone software is running (like nokia pc suite, kies) process should start using port com8 and should be finished in approx 5 minutes, if cell 0 progress bar is moving that is good sign.

 

I've pure jonzalvo.

I tried to flash official 041 by YGDP but the process stops at 98% and show an error. I've also tried to replace stock recovery with custom recovery (twrp 2.6.0  and cwm 6.5.0) but nothing.

Maybe, should I make factory reset?

I'd say, no improvement at all.

Maybe discharging persentage looks more accurate.

Also, it has many Indonesian craps like booking cinemas, restaurants etc.

Strange is that they keep re-install themselves after i remove them. I think that apk "dr. Secure" is quite suspicious for that.

By all means, no improvement at all.

I case you find any changelog, please provide..

Use root explorer and delete 'em from /system folder (or /vendor/operator/).

No offense but it's not Indonesian.

I'm Indonesian but it seems it's not from around here.

Yup.. It keeps updating and installing itself. But I've disabled it.

[Guest dakok]

Yes, it would be really funny if an Indian

rom would have Indonesian bloatware.

:D
