Been searching for how to root / flash new android onto Amoi n850, slightly obscure phone. Found a thread on it's sister phone the Amoi n828 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41322386). Would that be compatible with the n850?
Phone has a lot of bloatware and no play store, so would be nice to have a fresh ROM, if any English ones are available
Anyone have experience here?

Hey guys I am also holding an Amoi n850 on my hands now and I really don't know what to do with it. It has android 4.2.1 but it has no google play store, no maps, only some bloatware in Chinese.
Any thoughts?

I'm having trouble after installing Google Play Store, it says "No connection" all the time, is there any advice how to handle that apart from installing new ROM, MIUI for example?

For me yes, installing miui was the answer Do you need help with that?
I hope not I downloaded latest MIUI, the phone came already rooted and with installed recovery (I think it's installed because when you long press Power there is option "Reboot to Recovery"). So I will just put MIUI on SD card and flash from there, I've done it a lot of times on other mobiles like HTC Desire so i know the drill If I run into any problem, I'll write it here, tnx

Oh nice mine came unrooted and with no recovery so it was slightly harder here
Yes, it surprised me to so I immediately transfered Google apk's (Play Store, Services and Account manager) and it worked partly - I could add Google account to phone and Store, there are Sync options avalaible (calendar and contacts) but Store opens nice but won't connect no matter what...
Sounds doable but I wouldn't know how. MIUI is nice though so changing ain't bad
Well, it seems that the phone wasn't rooted to start with but the recovery installed (not CWM) was working so I finally flashed MIUI but couldn't install Gapps, after flashing they just don't appear and the MIUI is working perfectly. So, I installed Lewa OS for N850 and Play Store apk, now finally everything is working fine, Lewa is visually almost the same as MIUI so I'm very pleased.

I received my N850 yesterday
no gapps
impossible to flash a new ROM Lewa OS, or MUI (www.needrom.com) with the recovery inside
it starts and stop "Installation aborted"
i try to install new recovery with Mobile uncle tools but impossible
So i have chinese ROM, no gapps and cannot use my phone like i want.
can someone help me
pleasssssse
You have to root first, you can find how to on YouTube, search for MTK6589 root. Then put the n850 "recovery.img" from Needrom site to mSD card. After root you will have access from MobileUncle to open that recovery from mSD. Download Lewa before that and put also on mSD so now you can choose it and flash. After flash, install Google Play Store apk and Play Services apk and that's it. You can try to install MIUI the same way, but I never got gapps working, only in Lewa.
Edit: recovery inside is useless, so you have to use MIUI recovery, you don't even have to install it, just start it from mSD card from MUncle tools (after root, of course)

MIUI comes with gapps pre flashed. Drake and I have both got MIUI working perfectly.
I tried to flash that .27 latest version, MIUI installs perfectly but no gapps on phone. Then I tried older versions, they all install perfectly but still no gapps. I tried flashing just gapps after ROM install, nothing. So I gave up and installed Lewa.

I've flashed all three roms from that site on my phone, all had gapps. Same with Drake.
I see, but it didn't work in my case. Did you replace the original recovery with MIUI one or you managed to flash ROM with the original one?

I received a phone without a recovery so I used MIUI version
Mine came not rooted but with some mysterious no-name recovery installed (not CWM or similar), there was even an option "Boot to recovery" in menu. When I tried to flash MIUI through that, it stopped in the middle giving some error. So I rooted and then used MIUI recovery and flashed OK, but gapps not working.

It was rooted but bad rooted
I rooted again with Motochopper
Installed recovery with MKT tools but it is not Needrom recovery
But when i want to install a new ROM i have Status 7 error
I found Gapps here : http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
it seems to work but i must try now
But i want change the ROM to get MUI or LEWA and i have always this "status 7 error" with all the ROMS
EDIT : I install new recovery and can install LEWA rom but no MUI ROM (maybe the recovery file is not the same ?)
Will try now all.
Well, I used the (MIUI) recovery from Needrom site and was able to install both Lewa and MIUI.

Hi guys,
i have some wierd problems.
- when I install or uninstall an application, it works but when i reboot my cell phone the applications installed are gone and the ones uninstalled are back.
- when i copy a file through webdav from my HD and when i reboot, the file is gone.
I don't have SD card everything is on the internal memory.
I already tried the "android recovery" with the power buton and the volume buton but nothing changed.
the ROM version, 2.3.4, on my cell phone is coming from motorola France.
can you help me ?
should i try to flash again my cell phone ?
Is it possible that the internal memory is locked ? if yes how can i unlock it ?
thanks for your help
Try SDMaid to clear remaining files of uninstalled apps. If this does not work, reflash your recovery, it might be corrupted, best recovery is the CWM, its pretty much compatible to most roms. There is also TeamWIN's recovery which is touch based recovery which is quite good to.

CWM is basically Clockword Recovery Mod by RomRacer, you should be able to install original ROM. Just download it from the Motorola Website the rom will have its own setup built-in so you can run the update directly through the computer and should be fine.
I had BootMenu Manager installed and used that to install the latest MIUI but I don't have Google Play Store so the device is not much more than a dumbphone. If I reboot the device I'm no longer presented with the BootMenu for flashing and stuff, how do I get back to it, or did I wipe it out?

Did you have gapps installed and now you don't? Or from the beginning you didn't have them? If so, you have to flash them
I have installed [ROM] MIUI V5 v 3.9.6 [06/09][Update: Full ROM ]!! from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401232 in samsung galaxy s2 i9100g by Temp CWM6 . But now holding down (volumeup+power+home) not taking me in recovery mod. Now who to go in recovery mod to install GAPPS(for same rom) or to install any other other ROM. Also Now it is showing "only emergency calls" not registered on network.
Does the ROM boot normally? Did you complete the initial setup (as per the ROM isntructions)?
thanks for reply

Yes i have completed all set up completely without skipping any step. Rom is working fine now. After one reboot call functioning is also working fine. And I have installed now play store apk file(downloaded from internet somewhere). Now i have play store so I installed many gapps and other apps from store. But I cant go in recovery mod/download mod with any hardware button combination.Is flashing GAPPS from given zip file is necessary. If not, then only thing is-- Is there any other way to get recovery mod again.
My last rom was [ROM] [ROM][i9100G] X-TremExD JB ROM V9 [AOSP|GS4|XZ] by ICS_XD which is AOKP rom. BUT i did all wipes data/facetory reset, dalvik, format data, format system every thing. I have already installed many times other rom. So i think i have not made any installation mistake.
I have one other issue with this phone that any music app(music players or video players, stock or third party) not working properly. Sometime they all work smoothly and sometime all are getting some disturbance while running. They are not getting fc but sometime audio and video not comes smoothly i.e., zigzag type. I have tried 3-4 roms and getting same issue in all roms. I think it is some hardware problem. Remaining everything is fine. Now i an stuck with this MIUI rom.
I have tried holding down (volumeup+volumedown+power), but nothing happening there also. Any suggestions please.
latest ota update solved the issue
latest miui3.9.27 update soved the issue. Now holding down(volumeup+power+home) takes it to Philz touch 5 cwm base version 6.0.3.3.
Should I flash GAPPS now as said in rom installation instructions? But i have installed play store .apk and many other apps from internet. I mean Are Gapps necessary for rom functioning.
Can I install other rom from Philz touch 5 recovery.

Yes, you can install other ROMs as long as you follow the instructions given by that ROM's dev. And you can avoid flashing gapps as long as you have no issues using any Google apps. :0

Hello
Someone else managed to port CWM (Cofface recovery) for Vivo Xshot a few month ago but it is in chinese. It's kind of annoying to use a tool in chinese so I decided to try to port CWM in english. I somehow managed to do it after a lot of reading and research around here but it still has some problems and I need your help.
I commited the code to github: github.com/mishyf/device_bbk_x710l
If some of you have time, maybe you can help me finish this port.
There are a few bugs:
1) recovery.img does not boot (strage because if I create the zip file and install it, cwm is loading).
2) update.zip works but has a very small resolution.
There is an attached picture in order to better understand the problem:
3) after reboot cwm is replaced by the recovery running before cwm flash.
are there any roms for this phone ???

There is a MIUI rom ported for Xshot but it is not for the Ultimate version. I tried it on my Ultimate version but the launcher crashes after lockscreen. It seems that it works only for Elite version.
I searched for other roms but did not find any other.
Use TWRP, its in english already..
I installed a cm based ROM on my phone, I like it. But I want to go back to kk. When I enter recovery which is now cm it gives me an error when I try install a different ROM. ROM manager says I have duel but I can only use the CyanogenMod one.

The problem with the recovery that comes with CyanogenMod lollipop is that you are very limited to what you can flash. I recommend you download multi rom, just download the application from the playstore and give it root access, check off that you want the recovery and it should do the rest, you will then have twrp recovery and you can flash a kitkat based rom from it.
I downloaded an app from the store was able to bypass cm. I then installed cm11 which had no recovery I spent 2 hours looking and saw you had replied I installed the app and it put cwm, so thank you. Not having gapps and recovery is scary. Thanks.
