Hi guys,
I posted a question similar to this before, but did not get much reply.
I have a chinese Razr, and I would like to install an English stock 4.1.2 onto it. This is mostly because for some reason gapps do not work and I really do want gapps.
I have not flashed phones for two years so I have no idea what everything is. And it seemed like all these requires root. Which is my other problem: I cannot install root on this phone no matter what I try. Someone suggested to me that this was because someone had rooted this phone before in an unconventional way and this locked the phone for any future roots. And when I had updated to 4.0.4 I had lost the root and cannot regain it. I must have tried 20 different methods to root this phone already so I'm pretty sure this is hopeless until I flash a different rom.
In any case, my android version is 4.1.2 and system version is 672.300.384.XT910ChinaRetail.en.CN
And I would like to flash a stock 4.1.2 on it.
Hi guys,
My phone is an Ontop nugget d5, and no one seems to have heard of it, it's a phone available from staples in Canada, it's a relatively cheap phone, with decent specs
I want to put an OS like cyanogenmod, but of course no one knows what kind of phone this is, and I am not a coder, or even know where to begin. The phone has a custom build on top of Android, and it kinda sucks, and it's only Android 4.1.2
Can someone help me? I don't know if it's easy or not to be able to put a rom like cyanogenmod, but I have no clue how to code, and I'm desperate to change the OS on this phone
Please anyone willing to help?

This is the reason why I've yet to get one these devices. Lots of low cost devices out of other places that have no custom roms either. Kinda makes me sad that only the expensive devices get custom roms. (except for maybe the nexus devices)

I know you guys are looking for a custom ROM (as was I), but I was happy to settle for rooting the D5.
First I installed SuperOneClick, clicked on the "Advanced" tab, and clicked "Check Drivers". That downloaded the MT65xx USB drivers. Afterwards, I followed the instructions for Framaroot 1.9.1 and got root (SuperSu binary was installed). Easy as pie.

Thank you for this answer, I am in the same situation, but I cannot open the SUperOneClick file on my Phone. And I wonder which version of SuperOneClic file I should have downloaded.
Could you help me ?
Hi
I have a zopo Zp990, C7.
The phone quickly demonstrated a lot of bugs, so, long story made short, the zopo was so buggy I tried using it for about a month, fiddled with it for a couple more and then put it back into its box.
I recently got it out to use as a wifi device (because that's all it is good for) and got to thinking... Because I am a complete "Beginner" I figured I could use the zopo to learn a little about the multitude of options available to Android users.
Unfortunately I cant find much in the way of info/resources that are zopo zp990 specific.
The device zopo is 2x32gb Captain S model running 4.2.1 and it is rooted (with eRoot).
My next step was going to be the installation of CWM or TWRT, then do a backup and try installing a 4.4.2 rom.
The problem is that I have been completely unsuccessful in finding a CWM or TWRT version that is stated as being compatible with the C7 Captain S. I understand (have seen) that some people use variants intended for other devices but I don't have the competence/experience (nerve) to try that path.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Fred.
Hi I have a vodacom smart kicka there is no update to lollipop and no root possible is it possible for anyone to please make a custom lollipop rom for this phone or help me to root this phone but withought pc the phone is made by Alcatel. Thanks
I have the same phone and rooted with kingroot(not kingoroot)
As for the custom ROM, I have been searching far and wide trying to find one and even learning up on how to port one with no luck... However this phone(vf685) runs off the same hardware as the Alcatel Pop d1, which as far as I know means the can use the sane ROMs, I tried to find ROMs for pop d1 but didn't find any I liked. I'm not sure if flashing a ROM for another device will brick yours, my info comes from google and its a good idea to create a nandroid backup and know what u are doing if u flash a custom ROM
But as far as I know pop d1 ROM should work. I am not responsible if you brick or damage your device
Thanks for the info Timothy. Will do some research into it. Got this phone really cheap and am going to use it as a back-up phone.
I am an Android NOOB but I want to try to upgrade an older tablet. The tablet is a Blueing running 4.1.1. There is no model number on it but Settings info gives the model as IT7008, build number JR003H. The tablet is not important to me and I'm not worried if I brick it, but if I could get a more modern OS on it with a custom ROM, I would like to try. The problem is I cannot find any Blueing custom ROM anywhere and the tablet will not do any updates. Can anyone tell me if I could use another ROM on this tablet, and what I should look for? Although I don't have much Android experience, I do know my way around other OS's and should be able to install the custom ROM firmware once I have the right one. Any help would be much appreciated.
