Hi, I'm fairly new to this rooting business -- but successfully did so with a Huawei G300 (CM10.1-R3) ; now wish to explore doing so with my Huawei U8652 -- but there're not the same "easy" guides as there are with the G300
BUT
have used ROM Manager to install CWM on the phone after having rooted it -- but the version ROM Manager installed was 4.0.1.5
--
the latest version mentioned in discussions I've seen of upgrading the ROM on this phone is 5.2.7
for the G300 I downloaded 6.0.2 -- which isn't without its problems it seems (seems to interfere with Google Now, though I'm too much of a newbie to say why this could be -- I'm not the only one with the problem however, going by the posts on the CM site
the procedure for rooting and installing a new ROM on the G300 installed 6.0.1 initially, which I upgraded to 6.0.2 by flashing zip file - that earlier version isn't without its probs either -- OTA upgrades don't work properly, but Google Now seems NOT to be interfered with at least
could I
go through the procedure for the G300, from the stage where it installs the bootloader and CWM?
install the newer version despite its problems with Google Now?
are these versions "compatible" with the Huawei 8652?
install some other version -- I've found links to 5.2 but none of the links seem to work
There is no such universal CWM.
Cheers.

thanks -- what I was afraid of, but ...

thanks for the prompt reply -- that's what I was afraid, and it sure pays to be careful
speaking of which, sometimes you have to take a punt
don't know what it's reputation is like, but I've found what appears to be a listing of relevant files' links to storage sites FileCrop -- though it's hard to know exact details of what they are just from an abbreviated name, and the names don't really link on Google to any discussion of them
Sheesh!!
thanks again

if you have android 4.1.2 - use Framaroot.apk, install it in your z5
if you have android 4.2.2 - use chinesse Vroot. install it in your computer and follow instruction.
all methods are working. I`m used both methods on different ROM`s

Hi, i just have a nx501 too... i already rooted it but how can i install a recovery and which rom can i install on this phone? i cant find anything on google.. can you helpme please?
Root (check) Recovery & ROM (no check)
Greets to all,
I just got this device myself & rooted it yesterday with the Framaroot.apk & Gandalf exploit. It's a very nice phone & takes great photos! (Btw, I sold my Xperia Z Ultra & used the money to buy this phone; the Z Ultra was simply too big, had no flash & screen mirroring was completely unstable). Unfortunately, almost everything out there about this phone is in Chinese; even the recoveries are in Chinese. I found a few pages about a Kitkat 4.4 ROM for this device, but the download is in 3 parts and online surveys must be completed to activate the downloads One of the pages can be found if you search for "Upgrade/Update ZTE Nubia Z5 to 4.4 KitKat" but I think it's likely bogus.
If anyone can find an English recovery or decent ROM for this device, please post & thanks in advance!
Edit: It seems there are ROMS and CWM recovery on the MIUI website (search "ZTE" and separately "recovery" on the English [en] site). I'm downloading a version 5 ROM but may not have time to check it out today.
Thanks bro

Thanks bro, i will try that one too... if you already test it please tell us how about the rom..!!!
You use which? ZTE Z5 MINI? or how do you know what model to download the rom???
waiting on a recovery
Hi cesarguaro,
Unfortunately, the recoveries mentioned on the site are not for Qualcom based devices like our NX501s; therefore, I haven't tried the ROM I found for the Nubia Z5 yet. It's too bad the stock recovery can't be used for backing up the ROM even though it can likely be used to install the ROM (which is too risky without a backup IMO). Have you installed a non-Chinese, usable recovery yet?
As for Miui, if you go to en dot miui dot com, you'll see the downloads link right at the top. Under "Brands" click on the ZTE logo and you're on your way
Hello Guys,
Could anyone please provide some info about this case:
o What are my options if I have an Android device (smartphone) not supported by CyanogenMod?
o Is there anything than waiting until my model will be added to the supported list? I bought a very simple and reasonably priced "no-name" phone (Simvalley SP-2X.SLIM), and I learn now one disadvantage is that it is not supported.
o I also did not find anything about rooting, flashing or even booting it up into safe mode / recovery.
Any help and info is very much appreciated.

Well, here it is straight forward, your device only gets official support if the Cyanogenmod teams deems the unofficial build for it stable and reliable to gain official support. If there isn't any unofficial builds then it's safe to say that it will never have official support. As for rooting the device there may be methods for it available, a universal root for example, flashing as in roms and other things, no clue, never heard of that device before and there might not be any support for it either. So with that being said, hope this helps you.

Hi Yoelpro,
Thanks for your info. Since my first post I have managed to root my device - was very happy. It was not too easy, given that it is extremely minimal supported. I already tried TWRP with GooManager, but when I try to install an open recovery sript, surprise surprise: "no recoveries were found for your device".
Any ideas if there is another way to find one and copy it on the phone? I have to confess being too scared even trying to flash a custom ROM without flashing a backup first. I managed to find out that the stock ROM is a Vanilla on my Simvalley SP-2X.SLIM.
Thank you.

Hey there Critical Detox
Thanks for your info. Since my first post I have managed to root my device: Simvalley SP-2X.SLIM - was very happy to see that it is working.
Unfortunately, I could not even find an unofficial CM build, I'm quite sure that an official build does not exist. Interestingly, my device was once perfectly recognized as SP-2X.SLIM and once recognised as HTC (for drivers) during the rooting. I'm very curious IF or AS WHAT my device would be recognized if I started the one click install of CM. I might be a chicken, but a careful chicken as I don't want to do it before saving a backup of the stock ROM to my SD card first. When I try to install an open recovery sript (GooManager), surprise surprise: "no recoveries were found for your device". I managed to find out that the stock ROM on my device is a Vanilla 4.2.2 but could I not find this ROM to download yet.
Any help is very welcome, as I am not quite an expert and my phone is a quasi no-name model.
Cheers,
schmayer
EDIT: For those of you who want the ROM, I've uploaded it in the thread on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-hisense-hs-u980-t3147968
hi every one
I recently got an android, it seems to be a china-android
its called Hisense, hs-u980
the detailed specs are in these links:
---------------
http://www.hisense.es/es/electronica/moviles/item/124-u980.html
http://www.dspecs.com/sp/735/Hisense-U980-Features-and-Specifications.html
---------------
the OS is old and boring 4.2.1 , I searched for a custom ROM but no luck
BUT I found THIS site, and it seems to have ROMs for it:
-----------
http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=海信u980&mo_device=1&pn=0&
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3039480252?lp=5028&mo_device=1&pn=0&
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3079914712?pn=0&

but its Chinese so I don't understand a thing, even with Google translate, because I have little - but hopefully enough- experience with custom roming and rooting, and the translator messes with the words
so pleeeeease anyone help me
: D
after getting used to it and studying some roms and development stuff
i found that its not that boring afterall
actually it looks like its based on kitkat theme
but could there be Roms for it
or at least roms that work on it but for a similar device
cuz actually i think its based on some other official android phone but i dont know which one
any help would be appreciated, THX

Sorta at times yes. I installed camera JB+. Pictures are a bit better, but I mainly got it for the option to record video with flash. Camera360pro now that will always give you crisp pictures, even on my Huawei Y300, I was amazed.

Thanks a lot for this. how do you install the rom? Upgrade via SD, Root? And where?
hi
below are instructions from my memory and links from untested roms. follow at your own risk. cheers
Vaguely, the steps are:
1) Rooting: I used Baidu 1 click root (chinese) . Some guy used Framaroot and works on u980:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/how-to-root-chinese-hisense-phones-t2889998
2) After rooting, install Mobile Uncle Tools (below)
3) Use Mobile uncle to install the u980 twrp recovery (CHinese version only below)
4) copy roms to root of sd card
5) Boot into recovery and install downloaded roms from SD card

Hi!!
Thanks for all the info but Im having some hard time finding the drivers to detect the phone on my PC.
The thing is that I read that to make a backup, I need first to use "MTK Droid Root & Tools" which would also allow me to root my phone. But that software doesn't detects my phone at all.
I connected my phone as CD drive, then it shows the drivers for it, installed but nothing changes. Device manager detects my phone.
Could you please help me a little on this? I would like to backup the whole ROM and phone before doing any risky changes and also want to backup the IMEI just in case.
Thanks in advance!
Well
Do like i did
Install FRAMAROOT from here
forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
And try an exploit and it will work
As for the Recovery Mode
I think The link in a previous reply - mobile uncle - will only install a Chineese recovery mode
Would that work for doing backups? I am really more interested in being able to backup my phone than anything else.
Also, my main objetive is to repartition the phone since it comes with 2GB for apps and 6GB as storage. I would like to use that other memory to be able to install more apps since I have SD card and these 6GB are there laughing of not being used at all lol. It's verya nnoying to have so much memory and not being able to use :/

Hisense u988
Hi guys i couldn't resist the u980 pure so i bought one 5 days ago.
I see Hisense have released the u988 infinity H3.
I would have taken that one but that CPU....
I have a question and bear with my ignorance.
This model has an inferior snapdragon 200 1.2GHZ cpu but runs KIT KAT.
Other then that, its the same phone.
Would it be possible to download the stock rom for the U988 and flash it with the U980?
Please assist as this is my intention and i have already rooted via framaroot.
guys, can anyone help me here? my u980 is stucked bootloop when i tried to flash aosp version. pls help

I am still on stock firmware, but rooted. Any way I can help you?
Hello, I got a phone which doesn't have polish language. How can I install it? Do I need to flash a ROM which does have more languages? Or maybe there's none available?
Ok, so I managed to do it myself. By installing AOSP since apparently Lenovo doesn't support my language.
I was running Android 4.2.1 (ROW) with a ROM that was probably dated at 2014 (the last part of the ROM name started with "14" instead of "13"). It looked like there would be many complications but I've done it Here's how:
1. Install QuBex-ROM using Manufacturing Flash Tool (here's how - but URLs aren't working so I just googled them and downloaded them from somewhere else) and therefore upgrade to Android 4.3
2. Use K900 Unlocker to unlock bootloader.
3. Install TWRP and AOSP as described in here.
Hope it helps someone
Hi , I had a motorola g5s plus with android 7.1 for a long time , just before the official release of android 8.1 for the device in my country i downloaded a rom from a youtube link for my device it was titled as official rom .( it said it was a rom from country which the offical updates were released few days before in my country).
Instructions to install the rom were fairly simple , i just had to grant the updater the permission to access storage in my phone then paste the rom into the internal storage of my device and then normally go check in the updater of my device and it showed updates available .
so i did everything, updates were installed normally and never actually experienced any bug whatsoever . Also i regularly got security updates from lenovo/motorola through OTA.
FYI - i never rooted or unlocked my device's bootloader it was completely stock device .
My question is are there chances that the rom i installed from an unknown source might be hampered? or cracked in someway it is completely safe to use my phone?
this may be a silly question , i am sorry if it is but i really know very less about these things , please guide me. thank you in advanced.
@Dante18 Give the Link to the YouTube video.
@lucki1000
i can't actually find that video on youtube . i was just wondering if anyone ever tried to hamper or crack official OTA package would it still Install on a completely Stock device and still get regular updates as in form of OTA from Lenovo/Motorola?

I think this are spam packages, i would not try this packages, i can only recommend roms from XDA or the vendor.
