Yes of course ))

[AlexanderS100]

Very interested in the issue in terms of reliability and stable operation of the software. Neskus itself is 5. What I need is brought to perfection with pens, I take this device with my beloved one, it will not bring anything with pens. Is there anyone who can unsubscribe about the bugs, glitches, problems? Thank!!

AlexanderS100,
Of the bugs, here the GPS is completely sucks, it does not see satellites. A-GPS normally plows, but without satellites, accuracy certainly suffers greatly. I think the reason for this seriesMTK 6575-6577 GPS Improvement Guide
By the way, does anyone know how to put a root on it?

By the way, the firmware was updated to OTA.

If I still remember correctly, then my root worked only through Kingo Root:https://yadi.sk/d/cu7xZHgHWuGda
Here is another link:http://www.kingroot.net/down
It also installs Kinguser (analogue SuperSU) for managing root-rights, etc. Rutit literally in 1-2 minutes

ganiks,
As far as I understand, Kingo root and Kingroot are different programs. So I have already tried the apk version of KingO root and nothing happened, but for the link to KingRoot, thanks. This one put it without problems.

By the way about GPS, yesterday I repeatedly drove GPS tests through the engineering menu (input via * # * # 3646633 # * # *). and today he began to see my companions. True little from 4 to 5 pieces. In general, it is necessary for him to rebuild the almanac normally and can correct some configs and will work normally.

[ganiks]

I also drove my half hour yesterday in the test menu. The almanac seems to have downloaded a new one. But today in the car for 20 minutes I did not catch a single satellite. The firmware is from 17.06, I will try the new one now.

KingRoot (not KingO Root) is really the program that worked for me. I also tried DingDong first, nothing happened.

Maybe it makes sense to add links to KingRoot in the topic header?

Route is also NOT placed through BaiduRoot 2.8.3 and through iROOT 2.0.6
ganiks,I installed the latest firmware, the camera optimization was announced there, but I did not notice any special changes. Although subjectively, there seems to be less noise in the pictures (I can’t compare it, because I deleted all the pictures from the previous firmware)

[ganiks]

And how did you install the firmware? My flasher grumbles that the scatter is not correct.

My flasher grumbles that the scatter is not correct.

I had such a garbage, but it turned out to be simple. In the scatter file you need to delete (or comment out) the first line, i.e. what is written before asterisks.

For this there is a normal TWRP Recovery

[ganiks]

I have a compass with the July firmware. Before that, he did not even appear in the list of sensors.

And it is possible in more detail about where it is? And then after the July update, I had to re-set all the settings, because even titanium-backup did not help, since his entire folder was erased from the internal memory ...
