can anybody feed me back about this subject...can we flash an android firmware on any phone , like we know there is some works about flashing android on nokia n9...i wana know if it is related on the processor and if there is a possibility to flash an android on LG BL40 ??
Well, I am a mod for an Italian forum focused on Nokia n900, that is the ancestor of Nokia n9 and I have been following for a couple of years the disappointing nitdroid project. I mean that, even the bootloader of Nokia n900 was absolutely unlocked (never been locked) in 2 years or even longer the devs were not able to get working phone module, camera and GPS.
N900 nowadays runs even ics, but with such restrictions!
The situation for Nokia n9 is a bit better. but it essentially depends on the availability of open source drivers.
So, I don't know your phone, but running a full working android is not so simple, if it hasn't been shipped by the manufacturer.
Simply put, no. You cant flash any ROM on any Android phone. The ROM has important things like drivers, frameworks, etc that only work with the phone it was built for.

Hello,
Can someone tell me which other phones than Google Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and LG Nexus 4, has the original Android?
I saw a lot of phones that I don't know anything about them, like Huawei or other asian models.
I want to buy one without any added software from the manufacturers and hopefully to receive the new official updates as soon as possible.
Thank you.
The Nexus line (the phones you already mentioned, and a couple way older devices) comes with untoched, stock android. However, you could always choose to get any popular phone, and put a custom rom on it. That means you'll pick a version of android to put onto your device. A good custom rom to put onto your device would be CyanogenMod. It comes with no bloatware (added apps by the manufacturer), and if you dislike any app that comes with it, you'll just be able to uninstall it. CyanogenMod updates usually a couple of months after the official new version of android has been released, and from my experience that's always way faster than waiting for the manufacturer's version.
So, you could just get a nexus-device, which'll have the latest updates as soon as they're available and come with pure android without bloatware. Or, if you prefer having another phone, you could see which devices are supported by your custom rom of choice, buy the device and put the custom version of android on it.
Hello everyone I just started New Thread for our new device Huawei Mediapad 7 lite
1 rooting
2 cwm installing
3 custom rom
4 bricking
5 unbricking
6 .................?
I got rooted my device with unlockroot tool u can get it from official web unlockroot.com
now I am testing to flash cwm recovery by using a lot of method but not passed ,
I think this device hasn't download mod
but there is official way to flash official firmware with dload ( inside : unlmt.cfg ,update ) copy dload folder to sdcard and just reboot ,
and there is the way to flash cwm recovery.img by entering fastboot mod but when I did it I got problem that my pc doesn't recognize device even installed all drivers related .ie fastboot ,adb and usb driver . Any advice ! Thanks
My experience on this device
1 No proximity sensor u can not use flip cover to screen on off
2 No hdmi port
3 No flash light
4 No phone speaker the voice only come from back speaker and headphone
5 No auto brightness
6 No fm radio
And if i may add something:
A 1.0Ghz Cortex A8 CPU with Vivante GC800 GPU that is good but has a very poor gaming compatibility.
I put the CPU speed in bold because the tablet is announced everywhere as a 1.2ghz, including Huawei's site, but that's not true. I will be returning mine tomorrow after i complained about this at the store. The store contacted Huawei and their reply was:
"we are sorry for the mistake, the MediaPad 7 Lite has infact a 1.0ghz CPU instead of the announced 1.2ghz", etc, etc, etc. But despite this statement, the device remains announced as a 1.2ghz tablet.
The tablet is well built, and not as slow as some reviewers say, but i can't trust a company that does this kind of stuff. Plus, they don't seem to plan to release JB for it (not even ICS 4.0.4)
Anyway, i wish the best of luck to anyone that is willing to develop software for it, i know from experience that everything is possible here at XDA.
Sorry for spamming a bit, but i think everyone deserves to know this.
Sure, it isn't the fastest tablet out there - but for what you pay, it isn't bad either. From what I have seen around here, you can install an overclock-capable kernel and get some decent speed out of it - and the build quality isn't bad at all. I use it (stock) to play a few games, such as Mini Motor Racing, and check my social networks when out and about - and it does those, and YouTube streaming, just fine.
It would be nice to see something like Cyanogen support this little tablet. I don't think Huawei will.
sow bad

1. Posting in the android themes section isn't going to get your question answered.
Post about this in your device section or android questions and answers.
2. Use Google.
There are NO CUSTOM ROMS for your device
There are no developers active, the device has no support and cannot update due to its bad firmware that doesn't allow the bootloader to be unlocked, so it cannot even run a custom ROM.....
3. Did you not check the android version before purchasing? Thats just stupid.
This device is from 2016........no one should be buying 2016 hardware or a device with an android version which is over 4 years old in 2018.
For less than half the price you paid for that cool pad you could have got a Nokia 2.1 or Nokia 1 both are running android 8.1 or can install a project treble android P GSI - both those devices are project treble compatible!
Here's some interesting information....
Your purchase cannot be justified from the device specs, the current budget Nokia range use android GO and have been proven to perform much better and faster with much less powerful CPUs and far less ram that a more expensive multi core CPU device with 2 to 6 GB ......
These devices perform 15% faster and only use a small portion of on device storage.
As for your cool pad, You are stuck on lollipop I'm afraid.
Look at the price comparison of the cool pad A8 and the Nokia 1 with android 8.1 Go.
If you want the "latest" android version you always need to buy a device that has it, not buy a far more expensive one that has an android version that will no longer be supported in the next few months.
FYI - Google are going to make android 6.0 marshmallow a minimum requirement to run their apps early next year, and then are going to make android 7.0 nougat a minimum requirement to run their apps by the fall of 2019.

what kind of XZ1 you got?
if it's Japanese XZ1 AU(SOV36) in this case, just like mine, you have to stick with original ROM from AU Japan..
if u flash it with global firmware, you'll encounter that randoom restart / reboot problem
no, I didn't own one yet. as i am among those who use latest custom rom on their daily driver, i found X Performance to be frustrating. No official custom rom support from anyone, kernel 4.4 and 4.9 wifi problems, no further updates from sony open devices project and for sodp 4.14....yeah. this phone is dead as a dodo
i thought xz1 might worth an upgrade. tremendous performance upgrade than 820, ufs 2.1, lpddr4x memory.....there are two custom roms that i see has official support for it. carbonrom and pixelexperience. i saw xz1s scattering around my online local marketplace that some people say they got random reboots, some say not.
thanks for advice. I'll be looking forward to buy the version as you suggested. i hope i can stick with it at least a year....
This is probably a long shot but I'll try....
We're rolling out some bedside entertainment tablets but they arrived from China (ELC) with Android 7.1.2. We need them running at least Android 11. We've reached out to the vendor that sold them and have been getting the run around for months. They tell us it's possible but they're waiting on ELC to provide the update. I've gone to ELC directly as well but nothing there either.
Since these are based on a RockChip 3399 chip (I have root and an unlocked bootloader) is it possible to upgrade these on my own with a stock image? I honestly have no idea if this can be done but figured I would try here for any input. We're really having a hard time with both companies...
Thanks for any help!
To clarify things: Stock ROM is the ROM that comes with device when getting released / shipped. You've to flash a suitable Custom ROM by means of a matching Custom Recovery in order to ugrade current device's Android.
Did you ever find a suitable custom ROM? I have no idea how to ‘match custom rom recovery’. Everywhere I look seems to talk about radio units. I have a tablet too and it has NO discernible device name or model that is recognisable .. tried to download a rom or two and they don’t finish pushing through ADB so I’m assuming I need the right ROM..
