Yes, there is newer official ROM, you can find it directly on HTC site.
Or you can try any custom ROM - there are lots of them, you just need to try (or do some reading first which one suits you best (they differ from very clean to "fully loaded" with tons of software, also some have "stock" look, some are fully customized).
Don't forget in case you choose to try custom ROM - first you need to update your SPL to some version of HSPL (exact version is not important, you may flash latest 2.08.HSPL directly), then you need to flash Radio (look which versions are recommended by the chief of the ROM you choose to update) and only then flash ROM itself.
Discontinued.. the rom seems to be of i8558 and not i8552...thanks for all those who tested it..
A guy on facebook pasted a link and was asking if v could c if its really 4.2.2 ... currently i cant download such a big file so can any1 of u can just check if its 4.2.2:laugh::good:
>>>Credits for link---- Jesus Jake Estadilla
i am downloading and will report on this, dont know if ill flash it though.
ps, googling "CHM-I8552ZMUAMK1" sent me in to some pages reporting it to be for GT-I8558, which officially has 4.2
EDIT: CHM-I8552ZMUAMK1 seems from China Mobile, where as there is another 4.2.2 version from India, which is INS-I8552XXANA5, downloading both now, will mirror in mega probably.
If possible plz upload to pcloud...
Sent from my GT-I8552 using XDA Free mobile app
I am uploading three packages right now, the two suspicious 4.2.2 and the latest 4.1.2 (just in case, havent seen mirrors around)
CHM-I8552ZMUAMK1-4.2.2 - Multi Package
BOOTLOADER_I8558ZMUAMK1_2048505_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CODE_I8558ZMUAMK1_2048505_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

MODEM_I8558ZMUAMK1_2048505_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
INS-I8552XXANA5-4.2.2 - One Package
I8552XXANA5_I8552ODDANB3_I8552DDAMI1_HOME.tar.md5
the indian one package seems way too fishy, searching the name strings shows a similar name release for JB 4.1.2...dont kill me for that, just downloaded and repackaged everything from the baidu stuff in china.
EDIT: how similar is 8558 with 8552? anyone knows this?
Porting of Android 4.2.2 from different carrier.
Unfortunately it's the same 4.1.2 build.
Here is the sammy link check out:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=33961
And as we are talking about the i8558 is already based on android 4.2.2. I think any of the developers could port it for having the same hardware and even the specifications.
Here is the link for its latest build :
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32288
Good thinking, i tried to get the 8558 in samsung-updates.com but it didnt show up.
I'll download MG1 as well, seems newer then the leaked one, and as you can see on the MK1 multi package file names, they all have 8558 in the naming conventions.
is there any report for the phones having cross compatible roms? cause my phones name is Galaxy Win Duos (not quattro), but it shows 8552.
EDIT: here's the mirror of your first initial link you've posted. I'll try to find a link for MG1 as well, i cant see the link in sammobile.
I8552ZMUAMK1
and latest JB 4.1.2 in case anyone wants it:
I8552XXANH4
Galaxy Win Duos is an alternative name for Galaxy Grand Quattro. It depends of the country.
And about the rom: it was tested? I will flash it later to see if it is 4.2.2.

not sure if it'll work though, i've just found another thread like this in our Win/Quattro community...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680287
most of the devs seem CM or kernel oriented, i doubt we will ever see any port of this if it doesnt work out of the box.
anyway, im am downloading MG1, so dont bother flashing MK1, i will upload it ASAP at pcloud.
EDIT: no company can confuse the sh!t out of ur soul then sammy...
it is so hard to tell which one is the latest now, while replying the above posts, i've noticed that MK1 should be way above MG1, yet MG1 has a newer build date then MK1, where as the first firmware ever released was MI1, which means highest PDA value. WTF??? Check the attachment for the ROM order in sammobile.

@freitaz could test the rom? It's actually 4.2 If yes, put some print.:good:

According to Sammobile, MG1 is newer then MK1. Alphabetically it shouldnt, but MG1 is 2014 where as MK1 is 2013.
Here's the mirror for MG1 as well, this one is a single package:
I8558ZMUANG1_I8558CHMANG1_CHM

That's because it is, actually, NG1, not MG1. So it goes later.
I am downloading right now, soon I will flash it.
EDIT 1: Odin refuses to flash the package of first post's link. The progress meter don't increase. I am downloading now an package of Sammobile to try again.
EDIT 2: The package of Sammobile was refused too. A CWM-flashable zip may work.
If someone create a flashable zip, I test. I don't know how to make one from stock rom.
Oh, it is NG1, thanks for noting that, i wouldve never noticed it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149123
Juat found this Odin to Zip guide...
I will try this, but I am not sure if it works. Android Kitchen can create a flashable zip, but it needs to be configured for our device and I don't know how to do it.
Anyway, I will try the link.
I used this link to do some changes on the script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-quattro/development/info-win-grand-quattro-partition-t2792496
I changed the /system partition to mmcblk0p21.
EDIT 1: I just prepared the zip, I'm going to flash it right now.
EDIT 2: Flashed it successfully, but didn't boot. I'm going to change the kernel to see if it works.
EDIT 3: Doesn't boot. The rom need to be ported.
made an inquiry myself Here, but i looks like u got all the info needed.
too bad , both sammy and community seem to ignore this device pretty well
Newest i8558 rom. http://pan.baidu.com/s/1i3l5YxZ
Baidu links outside china are useless. Besides, ur link seems to have only Odin and a couple of other tools, no rom there.
I'd advise everyone to ignore this thread, ofc except devs who could port this since it's 99% our phone.
nope
the GT-I8552 is still on 4.1.2 JB !!!!
When i did live chat with samsung guys, they said there would be update to 4.4.2 but there is no official date yet.
Srivathsa . :
i wanted to know why there is no software update for galaxy grand quattro. and it's still in 4.1.2?
Pragati :
Surely, I will help you in this regard.
Srivathsa . :
while all other manufacturers are providing updates for their mobiles
Srivathsa . :
why samsung is not keen to update it?
Pragati :
We would like to inform you that feedback to release a firmware update for Model No GT-I8552 has already been sent to our department concerned.
Pragati :
They are in the process of developing the same; however, as of now there is no official release date available with us.
Pragati :
Also, your Samsung handset comes with a feature which will automatically inform you about any new firmware release provided it’s connected to Internet.
Srivathsa . :
ok..do you know what release they would be updating to?
Srivathsa . :
is it 4.4 or 4.2?
Pragati :
As of now there is no official information on the release date of the next Android 4.4.2 for Galaxy Quattro(Gt-I8552) in India from Samsung and you will be notified by the Samsung website when/if the update is released.

One of our forum friend asked for this, thus sharing with all who may want to go back to EMUI2.0 320dpi and also enjoy the mods by HRT_KangVIP.
HRT_KangVIP claims that the modded files involved r basically similar for both 503L and 501u, thus they r only releasing one cross-flashable version each for both the patch and full rom.
Normal flashing procedures apply for either - your X1 needs to be already on a 4.2.2 EMUI2.0 rom before you proceed, if it is not, flashing official B008 prior for 503L and B020 for 501u is highly recommended if not mandatory.

Excuse me, What is new in this mod?
Is it smoother than the original one?
What features does it bring?
I was going to buy a Redmi Note 2, but I noticed some of the reviews on Aliexpress say the phone comes with malware and that Chinese advertisements pop up regularly. The reviews say you have to flash a clean Miui ROM to resolve the problem, but I had a few questions about doing this:
Where do you get a clean Miui7 ROM for the Redmi Note 2 from?
Do you need to root the phone in order to flash the ROM?
Are there any step by step instructions anywhere for flashing the ROM?
I'm not really up to date with this sort of thing so I'm grateful for any advice you can offer.
Official ROMs are available from en.miui.com. Please read their forums for info on the different types that are available for the RN2. At the moment there are stable and developer Chinese ROMs available (these contain only U.S English and Chinese), the latter being rooted.
Unofficial multilanguage ROMs are available from xiaomi.eu, in two flavours, stable and developer, the latter having built in root via the security app.
My phone was delivered with a full multi language ROM including UK English language and region available, but it was buggy and had malware, or at least adware that is not present in the official ROMs. I installed an official ROM before entering ANY personal information or accounts.
Go to the download page for the RN2 on en.miui.com, there are full instructions for the various ways to flash a ROM. You do not need a custom recovery, you do not need to be rooted, you can even do it from the built in updater app, even if it's the unofficial multi language ROM that you're flashing.
Thanks a lot for the detailed advice. It looks easy enough, so I'll go ahead and order the phone.
I notice the stable ROM is MIUI6 and the developer ROM is MIUI7. Do you know if they'll be releasing a stable MIUI7 ROM any time soon?
I'm trying to download a clean ROM, but the downloads seem to stop at 3MB or 16MB when it should be 700+MB. Any tips? (This is from the official site... as far as I can see)
Try using a download manager like jdownloader or download from xiaomi.eu
I made a video guide -
I've managed to download the weekly from xiaomi.eu was nice and quick this morning using a French mirror from Androidfilehost.com
All I need now is the damn phone. Lol

Remember guys, to have a super fast download from xiaomi (normaly it's http:// bigota........) you just need to copy/paste the download link to your browser and add a "o" (not a zero), and you'll have fast download
i.e. http://obigota.......

A latest Custom ROM for that phone doesn't exist. IMHO it's on you to find a Custom ROM ( more than 10 are available ) what matches your needs and is applicable to that phone.
BTW:
You can send mail to Google in order to get answered the question what Android version is necessary

Thanks for the response. I am not an expert with these. When I find a ROM, is there a way to know whether it's applicable to a particular phone?
