Did it brick your phone?? or not?
I don't mean to offend, but if you honestly worry that much about "will it brick your phone" over BUILDING a rom I guess you either don't know what a rom is, or won't have the skills to make one. No developer hasn't bricked a phone before, it's not as if it's hard to bring it back to life.

yes some of its build component worked for ace. thats the one and only tool i use to deodex when other tool gave much headache. deodex and unpack/repack bootimage works. what does not works is building flashable zip file from it, gave error "0" in recovery. also somewhat agree with consegregate. if u that worried about bricking ur device, dont even bother to think about cooking roms.

Can i install Android on Samsung S5380 Wave Y?

hey guys. I would want to install Android on a Samsung S5380 Wave Y that runs with Bada in the present if could be possible. It's a smarthphone but i don't really like bada and i would want to install android on it, but i can't really find a tutorial how to do it. Did someone done this task, it is possible? Thank you

No, you can't because it designed to run bada and you need to make android rom yourself for your phone, which is not possible as it requires high technical knowledge like compiling a rom, compiling kernel for your device using source of another device! You should have good knowledge of soldering pins or wires to flash boot loader on main board by opening the phone! The results may not be guaranteed, you might also brick your cellphone.

Yes, it still stands, but i found out that CM10.1 is currently impossible to make, so you can try with MIUI V5.

so how did you make the nexus rom for it?
The issue is that I do not own the phone, but I am looking at porting CM to MTK6589.
MIUI porting is a bit different, it would not involve kernel compiling per se I believe (CM either, but I would like to).
To give it a go, I would need info from here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
So your ROM version, partition info etc.
When I manage to port to a device I own, I can give it a go.

It's not really Nexus ROM, it's just stock ROM modified to look like stock Android.
I have Android 4.2.1
I will PM you the partition info.

i compiled my first recovery based on cm 10.1 for Thl W8.
I have no easy way to push the image to the phone to test.
If it works, I can start to create a recovery for this phone based on sources.
I would need that info I requested.
Are you able to post the build.prop file and the partition dump?
Look at the page with instructions I posted earlier.
Meantime I look for an easy way to flash that recovery, somehow sp flashtool does not read the scatter file created by mtkdroidtools .
cheers
managed to flash it, but it does not work , just a black screen .
Harder than it looks.
Can't promise anything, but I'll post if I get further.
Compiling on an old C2D now, so it takes time .

So, like I requested before, please :
- post your build.prop file
- post identification stuff of the device, like screen resolution, memory and recovery.fstab (or the recovery image)
- in general take a look at the link I posted before and read it, so you know what info is needed :
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
The reason I ask is because there are at leat 2 different versions, 1 had 960x480 screen and 1/4gb ram/rom, the other 1280x720 and 2/8.
They obviously at least have different partitions and displays and perhaps even other different hardware.
You can also post a full working ROM on dropbox or something.
thanks
P.S. for the needed tools, see here:

This is a CWM 6.0.3.3 which works on my device.
Use SP Flash Tools 3.13 something to flash.
My scatter file is attached, please compare it with yours.
Needless to say perhaps, but still: this is on your own risk.
You may damage your device if you do not know what you are doing.
Bricking it is not my fault!
So think before you act.
If you try: please give feedback if it works.
If does it is the same device: N9389 5.3", 960x480 (qHD) , 1 gb ram, 4 gb rom.

Hi,
Well I am partly motivated by your offer, but I enjoy Android and Linux hacking.
Let's hope those attempts will lead to something.
How about LewaOS? There are good porting guides for that.
I will try to look for MIUI or CM in the weekend.
Initial CM would miss dual sim support.
Maybe MIUI is easier, because some work has been done.
Well, I'll see.
Don't overestimate the complexity, if you have CM 6 and made it yourself, porting a rom is doable I suppose ?
cheers

[Q] Need 4.4 or else 4.3 for my s duos

I have s duos still it is not rooted and it is out of warranty so I was thinking to root and get 4.4 or 4.3.I have not done any customization on it. As 4.0.4 now about get outdate and offical update of 4.1 is not released I am bored of its ui is also boring so if you give any good ui that would be bonus. Please give the direct download links of rom, rooting app, bootloader, ui and what is necessary. I am at the starter level so try to explain detail as i know very less of all these and if possible do it as early as possible because I already wasted my 2-3 days in search about the rom I could not find any proper site. I would be grateteful to u if u will do just that work for me.

If you only need ui you can always install a "launcher" from Google Play.
If you want also to have the latest android and its functions then you will need a ROM.
The only rom found about your phone is HyperX
If you have rooted and installed cwm recovery then you will install the ROM.
Each rom has individual instructions.You can take a look at HyperX thread to see the procedure of how to install the rom.
I can't give you instructions through a post I'm sorry .Check out the HyperX Thread

Try porting ROMs or if that isn't possible,
boot into recovery and perform a factory reset. That should fix things but make a backup of important stuff on your PC first..
oh and @B4nGaR4nG you don't need root to install a custom ROM.
