hi
recently got an Olivepad VT-100 and got it rooted and clockwork Mod installed on the same and also backed up my rom .
So For those who have been struggling to get the same done like me here is a simple guide
1. Get to know that The Olivepad VT - 100 is the same as
these Models : Viewpad 7 Cherry Mobile Superion, Commtiva Linx N700, Spice MI700, and Camangi FM600( found this out the hard way)
for rooting it go here

one more link for the same : http://android.modaco.com/topic/324042-clockwork-recovery-for-mi700n700viewpad-7/
For recovery via Rom Manager see below link (note i have not used this)
Link : http://hucqim80.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery.html
the superoneclick did not work for me so for those who have the same problem
take ginger break APK from attached install it on ur Olive pad and bang it works with one click
IT worked for me
thanks to Nos0x for this find
Note : i did not use ADB for the commands as im not comfy with the same
i used Terminal emulator from the Pad for the commands
update : i also tried re flashing my nand backup via CWM it worked fine for me
This worked for me as i was willing to take the risk
so remember the risk is always yours and im not responsible if you brick ur phone or anything
Important : on rooting & getting CWM 1st do a Nand backup of ur original Stock rom before trying to flash any rom.So u are always safe & can go back to ur stock Rom

Problem & Solutions with the Pad
hi
well this was a problem i faced today and got a solution for the same wanted to share the same
Problem
well after flashing a custom Rom today i read about a apps2sd which was available in the market i downloaded the same to my pad installed the APK on my pad its some application which said it will enable JIT i clicked on it and the phone restarted and then i had just a blank screen ie it was on but blank
i kind a got a heart attack as my pad is only around a month old but then life is about taking risk right or it wont be fun
solution
i remembered i did some thing similar to what is given below long time back with my old gene aka HTC 3400 win Mob i just tried the same & it worked for me
hold the volume buttons both of them & power button & while holding these two u need to restart by inserting a pin in the restart small hole available next to the mike
on doing the above u will be able to got to ur CWM and u can re install the os u want again that what i did
just sharing my experience in case u get the same problem
thanks

Hey, thanks for the speedy reply. I did try gingerbreak. However, though I can install ans use most root required apps, when I try to manually install busybox, it fails.. is this normal.
the bigger problem is, ever since I first tried to root my olivepad, I am not able to enter recovery mode at all. I am trying all of this just so I can use rom manager and flash into the default rom. ;-( any help here? is there any way I can restore the olivepad to stock. If I unroot the system, can I give it for service under warranty?

hi
if u successfully root & get the CWM installed u can do a nand back up and restore the same but when u root u have the risk of loosing ur warranty
but to my knowledge if u re install the OS and re install ur original image
u need to backup ur oringal via ADB or termemulator pls read lakehousetech thread for details i have given the link in the 1st page
u can do this via terminal emulator or ADB & remove the superuser
i dont think the service guys go all that deep in checking if u have rooted and if u dont have the super user on ur pad i Dont thing they will find out u have rooted ur pad . this is as per my experience in India with my phone
the risk is always yours Kindly note im not responsible for any issues u get into with your Pad
note ; read this too : http://android.modaco.com/topic/324042-clockwork-recovery-for-mi700n700viewpad-7/
it also has info on how to install busy box u can also get a busy box installer from the market
Hi Haree,
Thanks a lot for all the info. And honestly, I don't need to be reminded that me breaking my pad is not your mistake ;-)
Well, I will sure look into the new link.
BTW, I needed a little help understanding something. When I saw the size of my OS partition, I realized there is only 32kb of space left. Due to this, I am unable to use oneclick to copy new files into the OS partition from the sd card. Could you please confirm whether this lack of space in the OS partition is normal?
And I am still searching for a way to force modify the OS partition using some other manual pc oriented means (not the exe's). Would be grateful for your suggestions.
Again, thanks a lot.
Regards
Milton
hi
sorry i dont get ur question are u talking about SD ext part
if so it is better to have more than 1GB and u can do this with CWM
im not a techie i just read and do the needful to get the rom flashed on my phone/Pad
for more tech questions i think its best u ask lakehousetec or any of the rom developers

Hey Haree,

Thanks Haree, I used GingerBreak and it looks like it worked. I have installed Terminal Emulator and Im not able to get the soft keys to come up, I tried keeping menu button pressed. Can you tell me what is the keyboard software you are using and how you were able to bring the keyboard up in any of the terminal emulators? Also tried the busybox installer, it reports an unexpected error and closes.

Hi Hari,
I'm Rahul.. Have been trying to get hold of a good Custom ROM for my Olivepad for quite sometime now (Must have been blind to have ignored your posts earlier on).
Presently I'm running it on the Stock ROM rooted with z4root with CWM 2.5.1.2.
I have ROM Manager v 4.3.3.3 installed and tried to load CM 7.0.2 and later the other updates but every time it kept saying that there was an error in loading the ROM.
Assuming that I have done everything (rooting and loading CWM) correctly I'm going ahead with the ROMs suggested by you (VPAD7_signed.zip).
Shall keep this post updated on my success (or failure)

I was excited about the rollout of Android 2.1 on X10 last November (it finally arrived...), then I was able to install more apps and experience more fun with upgraded os. However, here also comes the problem, I only had 40MB left in my internal memory, and App2sd can only be done with millions of steps...
So I was thinking.. if I have to put in so much effort just to get App2sd working, why not just spend the effort to install a custom ROM with Android 2.2 (where App2sd becomes a build-in capability, and I will be able to do voice actions too!)
Honestly, it was easier than I thought, but there are some details you probably want to pay attention to in the process, so I am writing this comprehensive guide here that can be easily followed (even for newbies!).
[All credits go to the CyanogenMod dev team for the custom ROM, zdzihu for xRecovery, Androxyde and Bin4ry for FlashTool, ShortFuse for SuperOneClick, Froshed Blue for themes.
Thank you all for the incredible work to make this possible! And sorry if I missed anyone...
NOTE: I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG.
1. Back up all your data.
- Use apps in the market such as MyBackupPro to back up all contacts, sms, call log etc. If your phone is rooted, you can also back up app+data with it (so you won't lose your progress on games or apps).
- OR you can sync your contacts etc via your Google account, and back up all apps with Astro.
- DO NOT use the backup & restore app with the stock 2.1, after you flash to 2.2, this app won't be available anymore, and there is no way you could retrive the data from the .sbf file generated by it!
UPDATE: SE Backup & Restore is now available here in the Extras section. I haven't tested it yet but if you want you can give it a try.
2. If you have already updated your phone to baseband 2.1.54 or 2.1.55, skip this step.
- Otherwise, go to here to find and download the most updated firmware (I used X10a _2_1_A_0_435 with DualTouch).
- Download FlashTool v0.29, copy the firmware you downloaded earlier to the firmware folder in FlashTool.
- Now flash your phone with this firmware, follow the instructions on the screen.
3. Root your phone.
- Download SuperOneClick v1.7 from shortfuse.org.
- Root with one simple click.
4. Install Busybox and xRecovery.
- Get Busybox from the market, once it's opened, it will tell you that your phone is rooted, install the newest version into /bin.
- Download xRecovery, rename the apk file to xRecovery.Zip.
- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder with 3 files - chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar).
- Copy these 3 files into /system/bin using app Root Explorer. (Note: this is the manual installation method, which I found more stable, or you can just use automatic install with the xRecovery.apk downloaded earlier.)
5. Copy the files for ROM installation (CM 6.1.3 V4, Google Apps Pack, and new Android market) onto your SD card.
UPDATE: CM 6.1.3 V4.5.7 is out with Camcorder working, in this step, you will copy CM 6.1.3 V4.5, CM 6.1.3 V4.5.7 instead of V4.
6. Install custom ROM.
- Reboot your phone.
- Right after the SE white text appears, press the back button a few times until xRecovery comes on (if it doesn't work, try one more time or reinstall xRecovery using the manual method if you didn't.)
- In xRecovery, use volume button to move up and down, home to enter.
- Do a Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, Advance Options> Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Battery Stats.
- Then install Custom Zip and choose CM6.1.3-V4.zip (or V4.5) for your SD card for the ROM. (If you are installing V4.5, install Custom Zip - V4.5.7 after this step.)
- Install Custom Zip and choose CM-V4Gapps.zip (or V4.5.7) for Google Apps.
- Reboot your phone, go to programs>sysctl, set the parameters to the following:
vm.min_free_kbytes = 16284
vm.dirty_ratio = 90
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 55
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 20
oom kill checked- Login to market once, reboot your phone to xRecovery again, install Custom Zip and choose NewMarket.zip.
If you want more selections of theme, check out this thread.
Post Actions
- Restore all your information and apps.
- Get App2SD from market to easily move apps to SD or internal memory, or you can do it manually in settings>application settings>manage application. (Note: if you want to display a widget of an app, keep the app on the phone, DO NOT move it to SD as widget will not be available for apps moved to the SD.)
- MIUI Camera is included with the ROM, or you can use Camera360 (tested working). If you want camera flashlight, use Vigenette.
UPDATE: MIUI Camcorder is working on v4.5.
- Go to settings>cyanogenmod settings and settings>ADWLauncher for more tweaks.
UPDATE: ADWLauncher is been replaced by another launcher (I forgot the name) in V4.4+

Thanks! This kind of combined all the guide together makes it so much clearer~
Thanks man, that's the guide I was looking for.
One small question, please. If after that i decide (for any reason) to go back to SE android 2.1, is it possible? Using factory reset and plug to PC Companion?
Thank you again

You can find the stock firmware in the forum and use FlashTool to flash back to android 2.1 (just like step 2 here).

Thank you much much
This ROM is really great, thanks for all the devs, been using this for more than a week now. My only concern is the color of the LED while charging, seems like its over burning or something is there a way to change LED charging color? been searching a lot but in vain.
thanx ... good guide
I was forever feeling hesitant to install custom roms and stuff but after reading your guide I decided to go ahead with it and as u said it was much easier than I thought..
But i prefer Freex10 to CM 6.1.3 , I really dont like CM 6.1.3 interface it does not look good
Thanks a lot mate

Hmmm ... never thought of that since it doesn't concern me but if you want to change LED notification color for different apps, you can do it at CMsettings-user interface.

really? I am not sure how to fix it since I never experienced this. But I do notice with the new 2.2 rom, it takes some time to recognize all the data on SD card at the initial start (both on the phone and on the computer).
The first time I connect to computer (USB storage mode) it took 5 mins for the computer to recognized it, and the phone was kind of froze for a while, but after that it's all fine.. maybe just try to wait a bit?
Mehn thanks for this. Soooooo easy.

I have got a problem with completing Step 4. I have downloaded and install BusyBox from the MarketPlace but when I open it up all I get is a blank OK message and the Status: Looking for BusyBox...
Any ideas??
Also I can open xRecovery but if I click on the "Install xRecovery" button I get the little magnify glass change to a red stop circle.
Any ideas??

Thank you!!! Your guide was very helpful to me! Sorry for my bad English
Please ignore my last post as I have now figured out what I was doing wrong. I didn't know there was two different BusyBox downloads.
Anyway, I now have it installed, however I cannot figure out where to set the following parms.
If you could point me in the right direction it would be much appericated.
Thanks again
Thanks for this. Quick question, it may seem dumb but what do you mean when you say to :
"Reboot your phone, go to programs>sysctl, set the parameters to the following:
vm.min_free_kbytes = 16284
vm.dirty_ratio = 90
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 55

Where in the menu do I find "programs" exactly?
NM... I didnt realize Sysctl was an App from the market. When I first completed it, I didnt have service so I couldnt use the Market. Flashed again and it works.
Thanks!

Please ignore my last post as I have now figured out what I was doing wrong. I didn't know there was two different BusyBox downloads.
Anyway, I now have it installed, however I cannot figure out where to set the following parms.
If you could point me in the right direction it would be much appericated.
Thanks again

Are you referring to the parms for sysctl? if you go to the list of all applications, there is a pre-installed app called sysctl config (it's like a penguin icon), then you will be able to set the parameters there. hopefully this answers your question!
hi,
trying to install xrecovery...
so downloaded the .apk to instal, not working (busybox newest version from market, super user rights also)
in this app are 3 parts of instalation, first and last work 2. gots a red circle and says that it cant be stated.
so i tried it manualy and copied the files via root explorer(sh, chargemon and xrecovery.tar , busybox file). rebootet pushed the back button several times nothing happend -.- just the normal booting.
try the reboot again
now press the back button or the sound button on the rigth side
you say "sh,xrecovery.tar,busybox,carmagon"
i don#t know a sh file
try to install xrecovery with the flashtool
it is here in xda you have to search for it
strange, worked with the flash tool, then updated to version 1.00 via xrecovery but after that not working :/
looks like that version 1.00 is not working well so dont update it
yep switched back,
somehow in the xrecovery menu it says something about x8 recovery tool. ans also i have to take a x8 multitouch file to work.
a lot of things from the x8 work on our device's
but MULITTOUCH would not work on our devices
chose oure dualtouch driver it's the best wich work

Need help installing xRecovery on XPERIA X10 Mini
Hello all,
Seems there isn't much help for newbies here :-(
I browsed all of the relevant parts of the site (I think):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
https://www.xda-developers.com/android/reboot-x10-into-xrecovery-from-os/#comments
And found these links outside xda-developers:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...2488-xrecovery-nandroid-auf-dem-x10-mini.html
http://www.mobil-talk.de/android-fa...ecovery-nandroid-auf-dem-x10-mini-nutzen.html
I used the German-language page (http://www.mobil-talk.de/android-fa...ecovery-nandroid-auf-dem-x10-mini-nutzen.html) to install the files, as I'm too stingy too shell out for the applications people here seem to need to install a system tool on their phones...
There are a few things that confuse me greatly, however:
1) What is the version of xRecover (or xrecover-x10mini) that we are supposed to be installing on our phones
2) What is the impact of busybox on the process (current version from the Market installs as /system/xbin/busybox, not as /system/bin/busybox as xRecovery seems to want; I know the chargemon script has /system/bin/busybox hardcoded)
3) What is the correct button to press at boot time of the phone to get into the xRecover application?
I installed several versions of the software I found through this site:
xRecovery-minipro-0.1.1-beta.tar.bz2
xrecovery_signed.apk
Neither of those seems to work on my XPERIA X10 Mini, and I have tried the back, volume up and volume down buttons, and I have tried to change the event from event0 to event1.
I am just trying to install the CyanogenMod 6 ROMs on my phone and am getting very disappointed with the entire process. If and when I do get it to work, I shall attempt to write my experiences down so others might have an easier time than I had.
Despite all the groveling, I do appreciate the community's efforts to make all of this work. I hope I can do my bit to document it better or to help iron out some inconsistencies.
Regards
looks like my problem
for me installing with the flash tool worked. (so just download flash tool and klick the xrecovery button =) )
after that i could copy the new custom rom files to the sd card and install them with xrecovery.
just push the back button all the time while booting repeatly when you got xrecovery succesful installed it should work

I have the same problem, however I think mine came rooted from factory.
Did you find a solution?
My tablet-pc has Model number: T05A and
Build number: crane_evb-eng 4.0.3. IML74K 20120322 test-keys
Is it a Chinese-Brand tablet? Sounds like a hardware problem going on, did you try to unroot it?
Maybe we find answer via Google: "android busybox factory-reset-after-every-restart-shutdown".

Is it under warranty?

Solved
Problem solved (at least for me) with the following procedure:
1. Find a valid Android Device ID --- needed for apk downloader
2. Download BusyBox .apk from GooglePlay via codekiem apk downloader
3. Install Android SDK and ADB on PC
4. Install Google device driver for ADB
5. On PC in DOS-cmd-window: adb install stericson.busybox-116.apk (if failure: try with -s option)
6. On tablet: Install Busybox in /system/bin ( xbin = big mistake!!!)
7. Restarted the tablet-pc and found all apps and settings restored
I'm not getting it right
My friend has one of these :
Model number: T05A
He installed the BusyBox on xbin and his device is stuck on factory resetting every reboot.
I looked at CocoaBean solution but when I do it I get this :
4455 KB/s (5536756 bytes in 1.213s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/bb783.apk
pkg----5------:
pkg----6------:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]
Now I know the device has 1 GB of space.
I also have the exact same Tablet and was wandering, is there a way to backup my total rom and put it on his tables ?
My tablet is new with nothing on so its a nice device to image.
I'm also not to worried about his apps and stuff, he doesn't care just wants it to work again.
Any advice ?

T05A firmware
Guys,
if any of you needs to reflash your tablet and cannot find the firmware of the manufacturer for Elijah U9 (T05A), I've made a separate thread for it here.
By the way, CocoaBean, thanks for the files.

Hi all,
After spending many hours trawling the internet, and especially this forum I still am having problems getting ANY custom rom I've tried booting on this phone
I know it's old, but it's just a phone I had lying around and want to use it as a small tablet for my 6yo daughter.
I can flash any "stock" rom I've found with odin, but when flashing using an install from an SD card through CWM, it just hangs on the Samsung bootscreen.
CWM installs as the default recovery console, so something is going on the phone, but it won't boot to android.
Oh I'm also using a 5830I rom, but my research has shown this is basically the same phone?
I've used CM7 and tried lots of other custom roms with the same outcome - please can anyone help!?
My daughter is dying to use her new games machine, but the stock rom is sooooo laggy and slow it's no good at all!
Thanks in advance.
@macsbig, "About device" information from settings of your device please < home+power button for screenshots > or kindly state the full details here.
Your original CSC/PDA/MODEM parts of your device <Dial *#1234# >
Your Region /Country/ carrier you are staying please.
Thanks for the reply ehsanotaku!
PDA : S5830iXXLA4
PHONE : S5830iXXLA2
CSC : S5830iOXXLA2
I'm in the uk. This is not the original rom (that got stuck in a bootlock) and the only way to get the 'phone working again was to flash with a stock rom from the internet.
The original rom was from "Three".
During my various attempts at flashing a rom I have ticked the "re-partition" box and tried both "cooperve_0623.pit" and totoro_0623.pit
I've flashed my P5110 tablet, and a Galaxy S1 for my son with no problems - odd!
@macsbig, How come you are ended up with outdated ( 2012 ) s5830i in the first place ? Any particular problems with your s5839i original firmware ( do you know your original CSC/PDA/MODEM parts ) ? Are you absolutely sure this is not re-branded version ( "About Device" info of the original phone would be nice to see though ) Did you take any Nandroid back up of all of the original partitions of your s5839i through temporary CWM zip file ( files will be stored inside your Clockworkmod directory inside the root of the SD card )
Do you still have access to Recovery stock e3 console and Download mode ?
Another important subject in need of clarification are ".pit" files ( partition table info ) and Re-partition option. Playing around with wrong .pit file such as totoro and incorrect usage of Re-partition will lead into hard bricking of your device .
Since you already did modify partition table couple of time partially without success , I would suggest the following process :
1. Download one of the newest non wipe xxx.tar.md5 s5830i firmware from here < It is free, but registration is required > Probably 2013 xxMD1 is the right one for our experiment.
2. Make your wipe flash able zip package through splitfus2 tutorial provided here, my comment @ post 9 or simply you may use European/Russian pre-made package from here , your choice though ( I would advise the first method , but the latter also will work ) .
3.Get the following files:
3.1 - Odin3.v3.07.Cooperve.exe from either places would be fine : 1 , or any sticky post in general/development section will do ( correct cooperVe .pit file will be resided inside the package )
3.2- Get the Temp-CWM 5.0.2.6 or 5.0.2.8 zip file from here or here < put the zip file inside the root of your SD card for flashing later >
3.3- Boot loader <DefaultCalDataWithBoot_S5830iXXLB1_REV00.tar.rar from post#27 , my attachment .
3.4 - SLIM_CM7.2_Cooperve #4 Rom < put it inside the root of SD card >
3.5- This kernel is also goes into Root of SD card for later usage .
3.6- EXT4 Formatter Tool , into the root of SD card again.
4- Now , if you don't have proper drivers installed inside your Windows PC , you can get then form here .
Ok, assuming you have at least access to Download mode , provided the combo keys work (pressing Vol(+) + Vol(-) + Power Keys) Go there according to manual :
-Power off your Phone.
-Get into "Download mode" by pressing Vol(+) + Vol(-) + Power Keys.
-press volume up
-Open Odin3.v3.07.Cooperve.exe
-Connect your phone to PC via USB cable.
-Make sure that your phone is detected in "ID:COM" area.
- Put your wipe PDA/CSC/MODEM/ boot loader/pit files into their proper places , Re-partition is ticked , Factory reset and reboot selected by default >> push the START !
- DO NOT disconnected nor disturb the flashing Nand process , until the process being terminated . Now you must be out of boot loop .
For completing our partition conversion and also put some cm7.2 custom Rom into the test at the same time , do the following :
- Boot into stock e3 recovery >> wipe data and flash your Temp CWM
- CWM > wipe data > wipe cache > wipe Dalvik cache
- Flash the EXT4 Formatter tool, so whole system will be converted to EXT4. (Stock filesystem is RFS).
- Flash kernel_CM7_v4.0_cooperVe .
- When the Kernel is installed, go to the advanced menu --> "reboot recovery" (this will reboot the device, thus you will be directed into your new CWM built-in, which is implanted inside Kernel ).
- Wipe data, cache and Dalvik
- Go to "mounts and storage", and make sure /system partition is mounted (will show -unmounted ; it is like ON/OFF switch)
- Main menu > "Install zip from SD Card" > choose "zip from SD card" and install the ROM, you have already got inside your SD <SLIM_CM7.2_Cooperve #4>
- Reboot
waiting for some good news ............
It's a long story, but here goes!
I had a couple of old phones we no longer use hanging around the house, so I thought it would be good to let my (young) children use them as simple games playing deivices. It doesn't matter too much if the phone is dropped and damaged etc, as I probrably wont use them for anything else as we have new phones.
Within a couple of days - and I'm not sure what happened, my daughters phone was stuck in a boot loop (samsung and "Three" logos repeatedly). Having no experiance of "unbricking" phones I immediately reached for google, and set out on my quest to sort out her phone for her (as we had lots, and lots of tears over her new toy!). The phone has no sim card in and is on wifi for installs etc.
After searching I found a rom that would load on and make the phone good again, this one: S5839iXXLK2_S5839iH3GLC2_S5839iNELK1_HOME.tar.md5
This worked ok, but was very laggy, and irritated me imensely as I was sorting games etc for her, so I decided to to instal a custom rom. After 3 roms refused to load (just stuck on the "Samaung GALAXY Ace GT-S5839i boot screen) I decided to try flashing it to 5380i firmware and Pit file - as nearly all custom roms for the ace seem to be for the 5830i variant - I wondered if this would sort my problem!
It didn't! But now it has become a challenge, and a chance to learn something of Android and how it works - as I said in my last post I have successfully flashed an I9000 with carbon and my P5110 with CM11, I learnt how to do this by what I've learnt from reaserching about this phone, so it has been a worthwhile excercise!
But back to the point. No I don't have any back-ups of the original phone, I neither had the knowlege, or know how of having or needing to do this - it's only now I'm finding my phones/tablets so facinanting!!
Yes I am now back to the stock (e3) recovery, which I can get into.
Many thanks for your help so far - I will try your ideas and repeort back!
@macsbig, Yes do that please and after resolving your initial problems , here is a confirmed list of the games compatible with your GPU/CPU of your child's legacy device . Also you can use chainfire 3d only under stock firmware/rooted phone for the games required plugin(s) and app being activate for proper almost lag free experience . You may read theses links as well for some insight : 1 , 2 .

Well , researching a new area of knowledge ( in this case customization/rooting/bricking/moding and many more technical things inside XDA) can be a bit overwhelming.I do agree with you that the sheer wealth of material means that it can be overwhelming, but more you read and spend time @ XDA, more you will get the hang of the material presented here .
Nevertheless we are here to share/help all of the possible/working solution mate. Just ask anything you can not understand very well . I will try to depict even more detailed walk-through guidelines.
Regards
Right, I now have a custom rom on the 5839i!
I didn't have too much time last night, so what I did was flashed the phone with Odin, using the bootloader and pit file you specified. I then rebooted into the stock revovery, wiped the Data, Cache and Delvic partitions, then booted into CMW 5.0.2.6 and flashed the EXT4 Formatter tool. I then installed the kernel you specified
After that I rebooted into the CMW recovery from the new kernel and followed your instructions - and Voila! It booted into the slim rom you linked me too
Just to test it wasn't a fluke, I then installed CM9, and that went on fine too - with just the normal steps.
I now have to decide after your other advice, whether I go for a stock rom, and try and get rid of the lag, use chainfire 3D etc or go for a custom mod!
Is there a similar app for modded roms's like chainfire 3D to help game perfomance on this limited hardware? I'd really prefer to use a modded rom and build up from there, but as I stated earlier in the post, this will be used only for games and listening to music from youtube, so i'll maybe have to research some more to find out what would work the best.
Many, many thanks for your help, I've learnt alot during this project!!
Oh as a bit of an aside, got a bit worried when downloading some of the links, some of the "download managers" were causing my anti-virus and anti-malware software to give me warnings!
Thanks again
@macsbig, Glad everything worked out for you mate . To address your concerns I must say that I did not come across any working solution for accelerating your GPU with reduction [email protected] custom Roms unfortunately ( only works on stock fw/rooted device) .
For CM9 beta Rom available @ development sub forum , this is an unstable Rom with some serious problems , because of ICS bugs an other things( Read this troubleshooting session and links provided there ).
For malware's concerns they are mostly false positives . Even virus total wold miss lead you in many cases, due to nature of advertising agent implanted inside some of the app inside system directory of custom Roms . You can simply replace the app in question with another one free of adverts. However they are harmless mostly. Please read this discussion (post #472-475) (post#291-298) between me and moderators team for more information about advertisement policies. Basically we have a very good control over materials presented here , thanks to mod teams .
Hope I did help you with your quest
My apologies, when I said that I was getting anti-virus/malware warnings, that was aimed at when I was trying to download the files on "mediafire(?)" and such like. They want you to install a stupid downloader etc., which then installs some crap on your pc.
Had it when downloading splitfus2 if I recall correctly (it was late 12am!).
That's why in the end I decided to use a pre - split (is that what you mean by wiped?) rom in the end.
I'm gonna have a play with the 'phone again later when I finish work.
Hi !
Just picked up this big phone from Aliexpress and I want to put a custom ROM on it (preferrably Lollipop). I've searched the forums but can not find anyone that is doing anything related to this phone.. The specs are as below:
Processor - Octa-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A53, Mediatek MT6752
GPU: Mali-T760
RAM: 2 GB
Internal Memory: 8 GB
It seems there are a couple of other models running on this processor (HTC Desire 626, 526G, 820s)...
Anyone working on anything related to this phone that I could try out ?

There's only one stock rom for this model now and I think it's for variant with 1GB RAM. It can be found on n e e d r o m . com
No custom roms yet.

No lollipop yet. But they have Flyme OS from Meizu as well as some other stuff in the link below. Be warned that most of the ROMS there are for the 1GB RAM version. And the whole forum is in Chinese. Have fun.

I'm happy to create the dump, however seems I'm not savvy enough to prepare it using mtk droid tools.
I contacted the supplier to provide stock rom for this device, because with mine I'm not sure it wasn't somehow modified.

I'm happy to create the dump, however seems I'm not savvy enough to prepare it using mtk droid tools.
I contacted the supplier to provide stock rom for this device, because with mine I'm not sure it wasn't somehow modified.

Thanks Yiminghung!
Edit:
I checked the scatter file against my partinfo and it seems to fit my 2g ram / 8g rom version!
Created a dd backup of my partitions to get the courage to replace the system partition from your dump - and it worked!
However the dump is CN version (no google play, no root, ton of bloatware) so I reverted successfully back to my original version..
I found this on the web, it's in three parts, but I was a bit loathed to fulfill the advert criteria before downloading it, so it's untested. I did message the dev to check it was dual SIM and he answered so it sounds legit. Would be good if someone could download the rom, combine the three parts and post it here?

Hi, imho this is a fake to earn money using the surveys, the whole page looks weird. I cross-checked the CN forum bbs.ydss.cn/forum-lenovo_note8-1.html and there is no lollipop rom, and I guess these guys are in front of the ROW.
Yeah, I was suspicious myself, could definitely be fake but I was very surprised to get a reply from the dev when I emailed him to ask if it would support dual SIM. That said I wasn't brave enough to fill in the ads! I'm just hoping someone can access those downloads without the ads.
What to do to download

Hi, use translate function in google chrome as I did . I managed myself to reply to some of the topics - just a single reply enables the download link- so ultimately got to the download; usually it points somewhere to pan.baidu.com ... but honestly not too much of a use unless we will get a recovery in other than CN language. I've posted the request for cwm also in that forum. However I suspect these ROMs will be CN only, while we need ROW version.

Hi all,
just to share my enthusiasm - I just got my Lenovo A936 (2g RAM/8g ROM) loaded with EN CWM recovery.
Prereq is rooted device (mine came rooted, I just switched the su app with my favorite SuperSU from chainfire) and adb (e.g. adb-setup-1.4.2.exe, could be found on xda forum).
Afterwards I used PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery executable v7 - it requested only to provide boot.img and recovery.img from my device that I created simply by adb & dd command.
After completing the setup automatically by the executable, voilla it rebooted into EN CWM recovery. Very simple!
I can dump my recovery and boot.img that might be of a good use to others.
Credit goes to yuweng!

I just flashed the Philz recovery, works great! I used Philz auto installer from his post on the forum, all automatic and worked like a dream. Now going to install his recovery to my other mtk devices just so I have them all the same. Hoping someone will being out a lollipop ROM for the 1gb A936 soon, it can get a but laggy.
