I'm looking for a clean android multilanguage system without china applications and letters for lenovo a760. Have anyone tested customs ROMs for this phone? Android system which is installed on the phone is not userfriendly and I have a problem with many applications and Aero.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434453 Try to root with this method. Remove ONLY HAVIEST CHINESE SYSTEM APPS, we still don't have a rom to flash if we delete important stuff by accident. . Use more locale 2 until maybe a ROM is developped. As an alternative market use www.1mobile.com
When I get my phone I will try to build a rom for it. I kind of know how to do it...never built one before though Any help would be appreciated
Any update on this? I've been searching for days to find any sort of modification for the a760 but to no avail.
I like the current stock rom, however some apps are in Chinese and i would like for these to be translated so i can use them.
I'd also like the latest firmware, i downloaded it several times via the OTA updater but it just sticks on 100% and if I try to access the file through the file explorer it says it's corrupt.
Thanks.

Once I receive it i'll start experimenting I should get it in about 1 week I guess...
I've managed to download the latest firmware for my a760 I downloaded it from my pc as when I did it on my phone it hung at 100 %
However I don't know how to install it. It's currently in the googleota folder (where the phones OTA updater downloads it too) but nothing happens in system update menu in settings.
I've tried to flash from stock recovery using sdupdate but it says no file found.
Do I need to rename the zip? Or move it elsewhere? I've had it on the root of the sd too.
I'll be more than happy to share the file with you so you can tinker with it, just let me know if you want it. However I'm guessing the majority of it will be Chinese like our current rom.
Thanks

Right considering this is the only thread on xda in regards to the a760 I will list my problem here.
I download the ota update, I couldn't install it via the phone so I flashed it through Cwm recovery, it worked and put me on the latest version, however I think I may have pressed a few wrong buttons in Cwm as it was in Chinese and i installed it blind using previous knowledge of Cwm from other devices,
Anyway the phone is operational but the new version won't allow me to use anything Google, not sure if this is fault of my own or the Chinese rom makers want us to only use their app stores.
Each time I open play store it just closes instantly, not FC it just won't load. Also when I open some apps they do FC, such as titanium backup, play services, superuser (English one) ect.
My final issue is that I cannot mount system as RW, i am rooted but still can't mount RW.
I don't know if my problem lies with the recovery image, the one i flashed before all this was a Chinese Cwm image for A706 (many reports of it working for the 706 and it did for me)
My logic is that if I can flash the stock recovery image all will be back to normal.... After the update Cwm has gone, I have android stock recovery 3e now. Any opinions on this?
Also if anyone has or knows where to get the older firmware that'd be great as I preferred it over this new one. I have asked the seller to source it for me but no reply as yet.
Thanks, and sorry for the massively long post!

i was also trying to flash the recovery but no luck.How did you manage ? I was trying to push it with adb...We have exaclty the same issues..Have you try to flash the gapps threw the recovery ?
This is wthat am trying to do..Flash the recovery in order to flash the gapps
I flashed the recovery using an automated bat file, I think basically it was just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or adb flash recovery
I do not have Cwm any more, since I updated I lost it and ended up with stock android recovery.
I've had a 15 hour shift at work and have only just got home so haven't been able to get on the PC and try n fix it. But I will have a quick go now before I go to bed.
Can you link me to or upload the gapps? Are they the correct ones for a760? This may fix my Google issues

I used this to restore my device and just started the whole process from the beginning. http://bbs.antelife.com/thread-407-1-1.html
Its is a clean stock firmware with 99% of the Chinese removed, However it is an older firmware but works great !
I am now using this until I or Someone else has the time to modify and translate the newest firmware release.
Hope it helps ! Keep me informed with your progress !

Do you know who did this firmware or if it has a new one with android 4.3? I liked this firmware!! What is the newest firmware? :good:
I've no idea who made it. I stumbled across it when I was looking for a fix. It's not the latest firmware as I am offered an OTA from under the settings menu.

That's the reason I found this topic. I tried to update via OTA and it was installed other system completely chinese and without google play, for this reason, i'm afraid to try to update again...
This update: A760_1_S_2_001_0133_130828 (418MB), but I don't know if it'll install the chinese firmware without google play or not...
I also installed it and it gave me too many problems. It's more Chinese than the current rom and would not support anything Google. Gmail / play store / play services all blocked.
My advice will be to stick with the firmware u have at the moment and wait for someone to modify it. Or have a try yourself. The link a few posts back will restore ur device if anything goes wrong

greetings all,
i have a new phone and unfortunately the phone came with a rom of our service provider t-mobile who but some custom apps witch can be only removed if the phone has been rooted.
of course i did some research on how to root my device but i get stuck and have no idea anymore how to root my device. i made luckily a screen capture.
could please someone help me how to root my device and send me links of file that i need during the root proces.
many thanks in advance.
Those pre-installed apps are part of your firmware, which is branded. If you want to get rid of them, flash one that isn't branded. And if you want your phone rooted too, just go with a custom-ROM.
If you need help with it, tell me what country you live in and what language you want your UI in.

you mean just instal a custom rom using odin?
This depends on your desired outcome.
Do you want a stock ROM, a custom-ROM, CyanogenMod or MIUI?

i want to use cyanogenmod or miui, i have no idea what the difference is between them but it seems to nice.
CyanogenMod is as close as you can get to the "naked" Android. It's like the nexus-series.
MIUI is like a mix of Android and iOS. Very simple, yet powerful and allows a lot of customization.

many thanks for explanation, so in my case i should probably choose for miui, so how do i get it on my phone?
First backup your data. You will have to factory reset your phone. What language is the UI in? I assume Dutch, but I'm not sure.
You can already download Odin and the Siyah-kernel (the tar version).
Edit:
Just checked your profile. ;-)
You can find ether latest MIUI on
www.miui.nl/
Tell me once you have all the files.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i downloaded the Siyah-kernel and also download the miui rom from miui.nl.
so what do i need to do next?
You need either Odin or Heimdall. In your case I'd go with Odin, as it's simpler to use and you won't need it much. So, download Odin and get the drivers working. Close KIES competely, put your phone into download-mode (turn off, hold volume-down & home, then turn it on) and connect it while Odin is running. It should detect your device.
I'll post the further instructions once you got everything working so far.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i am ready
When you are ready with Odin, make sure that Repartition and flash lock are NOT checked.
Auto reboot and f. reset time shall be.
Tick the "PDA" box and select the Siyah tarball. Then hit start.
When the phone reboots immediately hold volume-up and home until you are in ClockWorkMod.
Go to mounts & storage and mount the USB-storage. Put the MIUI-zip-file on your device, then unmount the USB-storage.
After that proceed like this:
Wipe data
Install zip from sd-card and choose your MIUI zip.
Wait till the installation is finished and reboot.
If your phone does not boot, go into ClockWorkMod and install again.

GingerMOD is also very close to pure AOSP. I'm actually considering going to it because it supports TV-Out via MHL, whereas CyanogenMod does not, as far as I know. Could be worth checking out for you.
use another kernel
hi it have worked for me too, but i have a question, could i use another kernel with a stock rom is this possible, im not that smart and have for the first time a smartphone the same as karamanoglu, i just got lucky to got my phone rooted, first i did a hard reset and it got in a loop by rebooting and going to the tmobile logo back and forth, so i got frustrated and decided to root it, but i dont like the custom rom and want it back to the stock rom, but am affraid it will get a brick with my luck. can i use the kernel bokg2 and with the original stock rom from samsung but still rooted and can delete the apps from samsung if i want, sory for the bad english.
Hello all, I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I recently crossed over to Android devices from BB so I'm still trying to figure out my way around things. Today I flashed ICS Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 and build number iml74k.144 onto my Note and the installation went fine, had no problems at all, but now I can't install apps from my web browser(Chrome) onto my Note like I could before the flash. USB debugging is on.
Is this something that I may have done wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

To be honest, I really don't know, like I said I'm coming from BB and still trying to figure everything out. Here's the link that I downloaded the ROM from:
rootzwiki.com/topic/22134-sgh-i717uclc5-ice-cream-sandwich
If anyone has a link to a better ROM, I'm definitely open to try them out. I would just like to know how to fix the problem of not being able to install apps from the Play Store from my web browser.
You can't install apps using Chrome browser from your PC ?
Why not use the Market (play store) app that's already on your phone? You have to have a Gmail account set up on your phone to access the market.

I've been using the app that's on my phone but EVERYTHING on my phone got wiped and it's a bit easier to multi-task on a computer than it is a phone, so it's more about comfort ability at the moment, but this is just one issue arising, how many other, and potentially more serious issues are going to arise?

So I downloaded the Seraphim First Flight, but I have no idea how to flash it onto my device, I'm assuming you can't do it through Odin?
You better stop! There are so many instructions about rom flashing. Study up!
You can ruin your phone with the click of a button. You sound close to it.
It's really not that hard...
0. Download Rom of your choice to somewhere on your external SD card.
1. Use Odin to flash the latest version of i717 ClockWorkMod Recovery (aka "CWM" )
2. Boot into CWM (use 3-finger salute method to boot into recovery).
3. Clear cache/factory reset
4. Install Rom of your choice that you had saved to your external SD card.
5. Reboot and enjoy .
But yeah, if any/all of the above confuses you, then you REALLY need to spend many hours reading before you go any further.
As for roms, I recommend dman's (as already mentioned) or ICS Perfection -- both have lots of active support...
Good luck.
+1 listen to dman he is D-MAN. you cant go wrong with anything made by THE COLLECTIVE...... any Collective rom will set you straight, just read all instructables .

Him mentioning USB debugging immediately made me think he was speaking about side loading APKs.
If you're trying to install apps downloaded from sources other than the market, for future reference, you must check the "unknown sources" box under settings>security.

I've just made the mistake of purchasing a Chinese Razr Maxx directly from Motorola China... and now I really regret it because I can't seem to install apps from Google Play. I called Motorola customer service and they told me Chinese versions cannot access the Play store. #[email protected]$^&
Anyways, I have jail-broken iPhones and installed custom ROM on Windows Mobile devices before. But noob with Android devices. I had someone help me root the device and installed some Google apps. Gmail works but not the Play store or Google Plus - just keeps saying "No connection" ; maps seems to work but it does flash "unable to sign in". This is not an internet issue as web browsing works fine during this time. The weird thing is that I was able to register my gmail account through the Play store. I've also tried the above while connected to my Hong Kong VPN server, so it seems like there's some internal tweaking that's preventing the phone from accessing google services.
SU and Razr Bootstrapper are installed. System ver is 67.145.910.xt910.ChinaRetail.en.CN / Kernal ver 3.0.8-g22ffb19.
My question is, how can I install either an Hong Kong ROM (where I presume you can d/l from Play store), or an international/3rd party ROM that works with Asian carriers and let's me install from the Play store?
I have searched the forums but didn't seem to find a comprehensive guide regarding this issue. I bought the Maxx for its battery capacity, now it's a MAXX pain in the ass!!!
Please HELP!!!!
IMHO, Miui ROM would be your fast and easy solution.
I'm currently running MIUI 2.8.x on my Razr as i'm typing, it smooths as hell
Oh, and you need Bootmenu manager 0.2.7 to install MIUI.
Good luck!

Thank you for your advice! I've read the installation instructions on MIUI, but they only mention ROM Manager. Can it be used instead of Bootmenu manager or do I need to add a step during the installaion?
Also, based on MIUI's Chinese site, Official Chinese versions of the phone cannot be flashed.... Is your phone the official China version?

Also, based on MIUI's Chinese site, Official Chinese versions of the phone cannot be flashed.... Is your phone the official China version?

Maybe you would try to flash gapps.

Thanks reachking. I've d/l bootmenu already. But are you suggesting that I use it instead of ROM Manager to install MIUI? Are you suggesting that the ROM Manager route won't work for my device or Bootmenu is a better way to go?

Hi!
Here's the guide you'll need to run bootmenu 0.27 and flash gapps as theZest suggested:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792955
You don't need to run a custom rom to have Play Store. Just run bootmenu and flash the gapps provided in the thead.
Cheers
Yeah, just install the gapps will solved unless you wanna some differ way and more modified features
BTW if you are in China there's another app you'd better installed called SmartHosts. That will help you connecting to the Google and some other site much more stable......because they had been blocked by GFW
BTW I'm in china too, and the damn network has makes me so annoyed........

Thanks your advice Pedrotorresfilho! Although I didn't see a link on the tread to d/l gapps directly, I did located it on goo.im and d/l the file for Cynogenmod 9 - gapps-ics-20120429-signed zip. Is this the correct one for my phone?
Also, the guy that rooted my phone had installed gamil, maps, google+, google talk etc on my phone (not sure if he installed the APK or via flashing). But without exception, I'm unable to login to google account through them. e.g when I run Maps, the map itself work fine but I get a constantly repeating "unable to sign in" message; or when I run Play store, it just shows "no connection" and repeatedly pressing the retry button does very little. Out of maybe 50 or so attempts, I was only able to connect to the Play store 1 time. This is happening while other internet activities on the phone works fine.
It's also strange that I was able to setup 1 gmail account, but not a 2nd one. So I've deleted them and reverted back to using the Mail app that came with the phone.

Thanks Loachh!!! I think SmartHosts did the trick! I'm now able to d/l and install from Play store! Interestingly, I wasn't able to d/l while on the HK VPN, but didn't seem to be any problems after installing SmartHosts!

I just love my chinese version of razr (which is a Hongkong version erased CID and flashed).
Well, Firstly it's kernel support two way call recording other regions can not.
Then it has built-in AutoNavi Navigation and CamCard app otherwise I will pay 10 bucks or even more for these two apps.
For the gapps, please use my link instead. It's moto's offical gapps. You don't need to play with bootmenu or custom recovery.
1. I supprose you did a little research and already know about razr's recovery.
2. Go to stock recovery and install it and you'll have google play. http://www.mediafire.com/?bkqx9pyw8jxft7j
3. Now the google play should.work.
And yes the GFW sucks and I haven't found a good free VPN. If you don't mind could you share yours?

Thanks you merrykid! Incidentally, I'm using a corporate VPN, so sorry but I'm not able to hook you up. But paying for VPN service is definitely worth it. I was on Witopia for a while and heard good things about StrongVPN as well. For around USD$100 per year, paid VPN is definitely worth it. The few times that GFW blocked Witopia servers, they were quick to respond and provide alternate server IP's when you email their support. Speed of course will vary, sometimes youtube is smooth as silk while other times I just gave up.
Seems like all the good free VPN's are blocked sooner or later. I was on TOR for a while too, but that proved to be painstakingly slow vast majority of the time. But check out SmartHosts, it seems to may be of some help.
Background:
Phone: Motorola Razr MT887

I have tried the instructions given in this thread but Smarthost doesn't go though and I can't install bootmenu since I get a message I don't have enough memory :/
Thanks so much in advance.
Are you a Chibese?Well,I'll teaching you with Chinese.来吧～第一步，装一个bootmenu.下载组件包什么的，安装好。第二步，把你的包放在闪存里。第三步。选择重启，第三方recovery.第四步，用电源键选择到Install a ZIP package.然后选择第一个，然后找到你的那个包。记得刷之前双 Wipe

Hi!
Thanks... I tried to google translate but I'm not sure if I did it right. I'm not chinese.
Anyway I may try to find a classmate to help me out.
installing gapps is best solution..
but after factory reset, devices always stack at logo moto..
also have chinese razr
Blkmagic I seem to have the same problem as you did and wondering if you can help me fix this it. I'm not too familiar with the exact procedure you used and wondering if you might be able to walk me through it if possible? Its been very frustrating not being able to access the play store and having difficulty with Google maps and gmail. Would be greatly appreciated.
How can I install bootmenu manager if i don't have playstore to begin with?
You have to find an Crackflasher, that's to lazy to download it always after flashing with RSD
The Prestigio 5044 is a relatively new device, but I'm wondering if anyone has one and is willing to dump its NAND for me? I have one ordered but I'd like to have a dig through its files before it arrives.
There's a guide to dumping it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44509214&postcount=407 and if anyone'd be able to set me up (sadly there aren't any official images yet!), it'd be much appreciated.

Download this http://d-h.st/H62, unlock developer options on mobile (keep pressing build number in about screen)
turn developer option on, tick usb debugging.
Connect cable, select usb mode as MTP device, wait for the driver to install.
After that run as administrator file run.bat from mt6589_rooter folder and reboot.

Yo dude, I know Im late as hell but if you're still online, can you give an advice on how to flash stock rom?
I did everything according to some guide but when i should get a green circle - meaning flashing succeeded, I dont get anything..it flashes something cause i see the (pink) line moving forward but after it finishes, there's nothing and when i turned on my phone was the same as before. Probably cause of drivers...
I just want to upgrade the official firmware but as I deleted some stock apps, the update fails. So I found the stock rom, now I just have problems installing drivers and flashing it. Geez on my xperia arc s everything was so easy..
If anyone can help, I'd really appreaciate it

Care to share how you didit? I also deleted few stock apps and wasn't able to upgrade after that and then I managed to f*ck it up completely by trying to install a custom ROM
Hello guys,
Has anyone of you started any work or done any research on this cheap, but good tablet?
I'm willing to create a custom ROM for it, but I'm quite new in ROM making area, although I have experience with Linux, software development, etc.
So first of all I would need to root QV830 somehow, then copy current ROM, as there are none available to download, and then play long time with, say, Android 5.1 version and get it working on QV830, if possible.
This thread could be like knowledge base for this device or something.
Where would you recommend to start looking for rooting solution? I could try to create my own rooting app/procedure since I couldn't find anything for QV830 on this matter.
Thank you!
Hi,
I just bought a second-hand QV830 and I am in the same situation as you, wishing to get a custom ROM at hand.
So I thought about making a custom ROM but this is obviously a huge amount of work, especially if you have no experience in that.
From what I understand, one to compile a kernel with the right config. CM seems to have kernel for every device. I don't know if it's just different config or patched ones. Then integration of CM/android.
As for rooting, I simply used framaroot and choose Boromir, I think. Done ! I didn't even fear to brick it as I guess it just works or not. Am I wrong ?
To get a backup of current ROM, you just need to install a custom recovery like CWM with may be RomManager (?) (You don't even need root)

Thank you, zebul666 I managed to get the tablet rooted with Framaroot and Boromir setting, just as you said, but I'm still struggling to backup the current ROM. ROM Manager reboots into boot menu, but there are no backup options, only reboot device and reset ones.
Flashify app backs up current kernel and current stock (both weights 6.0 MB).
Also tried to copy /system folder with ES File Explorer with root permissions, but it always stops copying on run-as file.
Will keep trying, but if/when I will succeed, I have no clue what I'll be doing next
I understood that if you flash CWM with ROM Manager, this new recovery should enable you to make the nandroid backup. Has it failed for you or you did not do it ? I have not.
Now that you have root, you can already directly tweak the setup without custom ROM. For example, i have removed that annoying loud sound when it boots by renaming /system/media/bootaudio.mp3
If you wan to go the custom ROM way, there is tutoriel in this forum on how to compile a kernel and customizer rom

Yes, I have had xposed on this device and it works well but you have to be cautious as to what you do because if you happen to mess it up, the fact that we haven't figured out how to put CWM on you can't flash the xposed recovery zip. So min short yes but be careful.
