If there is a thread for this, I apologize in advance..I've just recently switched from iPhone 4 and was very familiar w/ jailbreaking..but this rooting is all brand new too me.
I'm kinda confused..how does rooting work? Do you complete the root process and then choose which "rom" you would like to use? Or is each rom a different process? From the research I've done so far I think I'm interested in the viperROM..mainly because of the battery life increase...battery life has been my biggest beef since switching.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, if there is a thread for n00bs already..I apologize in advance mods.
Thanks!
For the most part, every rom is flashed the same way. Thru the recovery menu.

And yes. You root first and then download and flash what rom you want.

That thread will help give you a little info on it.
Basically you first need to S-off your device, and then root it afterwards. Once you get S-off (i suggest using revolutionary), you will then flash a custom recovery image. Once you have S-off and recovery installed, you can then flash whatever rom you'd like, using the the custom recovery to do so. Pretty much any custom rom that you flash will already be rooted with super user access, so you'll be good to go once you flash the rom.
The process to flashing all roms is the same. Basically, create a nandroid backup of your current working setup, then perform a full wipe, and flash your new rom. In addition to creating a nandroid backup prior to wiping, be sure your contacts are saved or synced to google, and use titanium backup or something to backup any apps you want to keep.
You'll pick it all up in no time. Soon you'll be flashing roms day and night like a maniac.
k, i followed a link (wont let me post cuz i dont have 8 posts)
and i have superuser now
now..where can i find roms to install?
you were right..already installing my second rom
i had viperROM but realized i had an older version of it (1.2.1) and now im wiping clean and installing 1.3
thanks!
First, I'm not a developer, I've never made a rom now do I know how. Not that I can't learn. I'm just broke and have a horrible computer its so bad I haven't used it since I got my evo 4G. Anyway I'm not new to flashing, modding or anything to do with my evo. What I like to do is flash a rom as a base then find other tweaks and mods and flash them. remove things the developer put in and maybe replace them with other thing I find from other roms. Eventually I have a custom "rom" mostly unrecognizable from my original base. My question is, is it possible to nand my "rom" and turn it into a flashable rom to share with the community?

I believe you can use the latest version of clockwork mod to create a flashable update.zip of your current ROM that you could then share with people.
Edit: Option can be found under backup and restore options and is called "create image zip"

What about Ra? I guess I can check myself. If I rename the zip, would you still be able to flash it? Would it be considered a rom? Would I post it in developers section? With proper credit of course.

Amon Ra (I assume thats what you mean by Ra) is pretty old, I think its a CWM (Specifically clockwork mod 6 and above) only feature. Yes I'm pretty sure if your just renaming the zip and not modifying any thing else once you create the update.zip you should be able to flash it just fine. And yes it would be considered a ROM more of a cooked ROM since you didn't compile it from source, but still a ROM non the less. And yes since it's a ROM post you would post it in the development section (Not Original Development Section though), and as always like you mentioned proper credit is important :good:.
Thanks for the information. I'm using smelkus amon ra, I heard cwm didn't wipe properly. Has that issue been fixed? I'm gonna work on cooking my rom polish it up a bit and post it soon Thanks again for the information, gonna put you in my credits

I'm pretty sure this issue has been fixed, besides when you want to whipe something it's best to do whipe cache or data or whatever else your whipping at least 2 times just to be on the safe side. And thank you for putting me in the credits make sure to send me the link when you post the link would love to check it out :thumbup:

I'm gonna have to post elsewhere a few more time before I'll even be allowed to post in the development section. Sucks, that's the only section I use. This is the first time I've had any real questions.

The easiest and most legitimate way to get enough posts if to look through the the various Q & A threads and try and answer some peoples questions, or you can look through topics that interest you and comment on them in some way that adds to the discussion.
Thanks for the tip. That's what I was going to to do. Thanks again for the info.
So I finally got my rom how I want it, I flash the latest cwm, and the option to create a flashable zip is not available for the evo 4g. Any other ideas?

Try doing a data dump (dd) of all the partitions on your device using commands along the lines of: (Can be done from ADB shell or terminal emulator)
$ su
# cat /proc/mtd
Also try "mounts" if that doesn't work
Then based on that output you dump the partitions using the dd command (Following is an example do not copy verbatim).
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/mtd/sdcard/system.img
Then take a meta-inf folder from a working ROM for your device, extract the contents of the system.img file so you have a system folder, and the boot.img once you have these three files zip them all up, and sign the Rom then flash in recovery.
Another suggestion, would be to just take the stock Rom or even Cyanogenmod for your phone and modify that using notepad++, Gimp, and 7-zip (PM me if you want some help with this).
Finally, you could look into compiling AOSP or Cyanogenmod from source for your device.

I'm sorry for the late reply.
Yes you can flash the phone with an unbranded rom, you can even flash it with the monosim rom, if you don't want the dual sim function.
Yes I know a lot of people who did it (they liked the phone features bu they don't need the DS functionality.)

Well, ONE TOUCH Upgrade S 2.8.0 says that my soft is up to date so it didn't flash anything. What way of flashing did you mean? Nandroid backup or flashing with a tool. And do you know a place where to find any ROMs?
Thank you for reply
any thread on this phone?
Anyone has a rom for this phone? I can't use upgrade S coz it says I have latest ROM available... Is there any workaround for this ?
Hi, anyone can give me the folder "/system/app" of OTS it's urgent ...
Thanks beforehand.
I'm uploading...
Why do you need it ?
system/apps from One Touch Star:
http://www.sendspace.pl/file/1806088e22aecd902052976
I deleted some app by inadvertently and I haven't notifications...
Thank you for it but for the moment the server is full. :cyclops:
PS: Can you give me your "/system/build.prop", mine is so changed.. ?
Mine is also heavily changed... I can share it anyway but like tommorow (you should remind me via PM).
One guy should have sent me the clean prop but still got no message from him ...
Can anyone confirm for me they have been able to successfully install a custom recovery (like clockworkmod) or a custom ROM onto this phone?
I am looking to get a phone for 6 months of international travel coming up and this one or the One Touch Mini seems perfect. (I like this one better though cause it has an AMOLED screen = better battery life )

Ok well I installed CWM and rooted my phone. I went ahead and got this one. Let's see what's cooking...now if only I can get that boot.img...
I am very happy to report I have created a flashable rom(via CWM or TWRP) which is essentially the same as the default rom on the star, but it has some of the junk apps alcatel pre-loads on the phone like game-loft removed and SuperSU installed.
I created it by getting the firmware.info file for our device, creating a custom update-script (getting the correct partition mounts from the firmware.info) using some pointers from DorianX's AOTI Lite Rom update-script, taking the system directory and boot.img from a nandroid backup after a factory reset, and getting the custpack directory by using a root file explorer to copy it to my sd and subsequently my computer editing the custpack, and finally packaging it together via dsixda's kitchen.
I am still working on slimming it down a little more as there are apps in /system/ that can be removed as well, but I just wanted to see if creating a custom ROM was doable. And it seems it was after 3 days of experimenting
Also got rid of that default hideous white theme by changing a setting in the build.prop.
I can upload it if anyone would like me to.
Hey Guys. I'm not a developer. In no way. But I want to get one. So I've extracted the Rom.zip of the RUU. What need to be done to make this flashable ? Thanks a lot. I won't share it with others because there's already a stock Rom for our phone. But this should be a little step in a long way to get a dev.

You have to run the RUU from the exe to restore it. However if you wanted it for a backup you could install it through the EXE then do a nandroid of it afterwards. If you want to make a flashable zip you could use Rom Kitchen. You can use the rom.zip in that. Good luck I've been messing around with it trying to make a basic rom, cant get it to boot, lol. Steep learning curve.

Maybe we could learn together and try and build a decent rom. You know help each other out, I have experience running game servers and editing /creating scripts for those. I also have a little xml and java. Not much though. I have a good understanding of the basics, but I just got my first droid a few months ago, Id like to make roms if I can. Peace.

Hello guys,
Has anyone of you started any work or done any research on this cheap, but good tablet?
I'm willing to create a custom ROM for it, but I'm quite new in ROM making area, although I have experience with Linux, software development, etc.
So first of all I would need to root QV830 somehow, then copy current ROM, as there are none available to download, and then play long time with, say, Android 5.1 version and get it working on QV830, if possible.
This thread could be like knowledge base for this device or something.
Where would you recommend to start looking for rooting solution? I could try to create my own rooting app/procedure since I couldn't find anything for QV830 on this matter.
Thank you!
Hi,
I just bought a second-hand QV830 and I am in the same situation as you, wishing to get a custom ROM at hand.
So I thought about making a custom ROM but this is obviously a huge amount of work, especially if you have no experience in that.
From what I understand, one to compile a kernel with the right config. CM seems to have kernel for every device. I don't know if it's just different config or patched ones. Then integration of CM/android.
As for rooting, I simply used framaroot and choose Boromir, I think. Done ! I didn't even fear to brick it as I guess it just works or not. Am I wrong ?
To get a backup of current ROM, you just need to install a custom recovery like CWM with may be RomManager (?) (You don't even need root)

Thank you, zebul666 I managed to get the tablet rooted with Framaroot and Boromir setting, just as you said, but I'm still struggling to backup the current ROM. ROM Manager reboots into boot menu, but there are no backup options, only reboot device and reset ones.
Flashify app backs up current kernel and current stock (both weights 6.0 MB).
Also tried to copy /system folder with ES File Explorer with root permissions, but it always stops copying on run-as file.
Will keep trying, but if/when I will succeed, I have no clue what I'll be doing next
I understood that if you flash CWM with ROM Manager, this new recovery should enable you to make the nandroid backup. Has it failed for you or you did not do it ? I have not.
Now that you have root, you can already directly tweak the setup without custom ROM. For example, i have removed that annoying loud sound when it boots by renaming /system/media/bootaudio.mp3
If you wan to go the custom ROM way, there is tutoriel in this forum on how to compile a kernel and customizer rom

Yes, I have had xposed on this device and it works well but you have to be cautious as to what you do because if you happen to mess it up, the fact that we haven't figured out how to put CWM on you can't flash the xposed recovery zip. So min short yes but be careful.
