[Q] Installing Custom ROm on Unbranded phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ,
i got a phone which is similar to Note 2 but it is not.i want to completely wipe out and install the custom rom on this.
it has got only 2 gb internal storage
after bit of googling i copied cynogenmod 10.1 of Note 2 and Gapps on the internal storage of phone then i tried to do get into boot mode of the phone where it shows me 3 options recovery, fastboot and normal boot. when i select normal boot phone starts normally, when i choose fastboot it does nothing and on recover it takes me
android system recovery 3e
it give me few options
reebot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from SD card
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
backup user data
restore user data
when i select any options it does nothing and comes with red warning triangle with android icon and the it goes back if i press home button
being a absolutely new i dont have any clue
can someone help me or point into right direction
for installing custom rom on unbranded phone? i have found many links for various branded models of the phone but not for chines s or unbranded
i am sure currently it has 4.1.1
can someone provide me the step by step guidence to install the tools and get the custom rom?
your help will appreciated
Thanks in advance
.

In 3e, the select button is usually the home button, and the back button is usually the power button. It could also be the other way round.
Have you tried that?

If your device happens to have the same keylayout as my other unbranded S4 clone, the keys are
Vol Up - Select
Vol Down - Scroll Down
Home - none
Back - none
Menu - none
Power - some kind of screen lock that doesn't let you push any buttons unless you press Power again
But since you mentioned something about the home button, probably it'll be
Vol Up - Select
Vol Down - Scroll Down
Home - some kind of screen lock that doesn't let you push any buttons unless you press Homeagain
Back - ?
Menu - ?
Power - ?
As you can see, there is no key for Scroll Up as far as I know.
Let me know if the keys above work.

Stuck Booting to Rom Manager Recovery

I'm the stock att rom on 2.3.4. I had my phone for a while but never backed up my ROM. I performed a permissions fix and rebooted. I selected backup ROM and it rebooted. The phone tried to reboot but got stuck trying to boot to recovery menu. I hit the volume button and got the Rom M. recovery menu. None of the options work. It just shows an icon and does nothing. If I hit the volume button it goes back to menu. I've tried to reboot several times and it keeps on booting to a non functional Rom Manager menu.
I'm done my searches and I'm no luck. Is there a way to recovery without completely wiping the phone? I'm hoping there's an easy way to recover the boot using Odin?
Here's exactly what I did in that situation .. take the battery out and leave it out for about 2 hours.. this will totally deplete your phone of any kind of power.. after your done put it back in and it should boot up perfectly! If not try to take it out for longer

Depending on which version of cwm you are booting into...what button are you using to select? Most of them its either power or the home button. Try the home button to select.

Thanks for the response but I don't see how this would fix the problem as it boots from internal storage and not the memory. I'll try it while I'm doing research and waiting for more responses.

Much Thanks!!!!! Karashta. Selecting the home bottom to select instead of the power is the proper way of selecting the menu's.
Thanks for making my day.

No problem man. That freaked me out coming from my captivate where power was select. Glad I could help

stuck on ics intro screen!!!

hello everybody
i had installed the THE ARCTIC - EternityProject rom for the droid razr gsm xt910
and i decided to change the theme, so therefore i rebooted from bootstrap to recovery and simply flashed the theme of ics on it, and now im stuck in loop of the ics intro screen as if its loading and loading and loading.....
im not sure what to do as of this moment the phone is still in a loop. so if somebody can help me that would be great.
thank you very much
my phone has started to heat up pretty bad if somebody can reply i'll be greatful thanks
Hold power button to turn off the phone. Boot into recovery, cwm or what you are using and wipe cache and clear dalvik and see if that helps.
i am now stuck at the sign of a droid with exclamation mark in a triangle...
Hold the power button and both volume buttons. First option should be recovery. Hit the volume up key to select and it should reboot. Atleast my cdma razr does.
that makes it reboot and back to the loop again. argh....how to get to recovery ?
Yeah on my cdma phone the power button and both volume keys work.
it says the phone is locked i think its bricked. but since its working and i can see alot of things and stuff it must be soft bricked. i got into boot menu as well but i dont know what to do from there
any ideas ?>

On my phone atleast , if I hold the power and volume down it comes to a screen that says locked. Thats in fastboot mode. If I hold power and both volume keys it brings you to a menu with several different options which says to use keys to toggel up or down.
i can only access the one holding power button down and volume keys up and down

Ok.
It's the default ap fastboot from razr, you had to flash artic trhough razr bootstrap, anothet cwm. So..
while in this white screen, press and hold power and vo l+/-
This will drive you to bootmenu
In boot menu pick recovery (vol down)
Then press vol up to entet recovery
Wait for red moto logo, give it 5s and press vol up/down
This will open recovery menu
In that go factory reset and press power button
wait it finish, you should be good to go
If doesn't work you'll have to flash a new rom with rsd lite. Try what I said 1st

Repeat process but instead factory reset do wipe cache
Nice to rear it works
Thanks
If this don't fix then you will need to flash a new rom with RSD Lite, just make sure you have at least 50% of battery before flashing

[Q] Pattern locked with out Data connection

Hi All,
I have a Zopo ZP900. Unfortunately, My kid tried too many pattern attempts, WITH OUT a data connection.
I tried lot of ways to get the phone unlocked but Could not do it.
Can any one help me out to get rid of this? My phone debug mode itself is not turned on...
Thanks a lot...
With regards
Saravanakumar S A
If u dont have umportant data on it u can do a full wipe using the stock recovery
1 close the phone
2 press vol up + power or home + power or vol up +home + power to enter the recovery
3 using the vol buttons to choose and home key to select , select wipe data/system format and choose yes
4 reboot and you will found that the lock vanished but every thing is wiped (this won't affect the sd card only the system memory

Dear Sammyroid,
But even in that I have a problem. I could not get into that Factory mode. This ZP900 had only 3 physical buttons. Nothing works so that I can choose the option. I am able to only move up and down using volume control. The home and power button are not working.

I also have Exactly the same problem....(i dont even know what this tablet's model is...it just shows up in the Android Market as J-Q8B)
1) It only has two physical buttons (Power on/off button and Volume key up/down) so there is NO "home" button I can press
2) It also doesn't have any "reset" hole I can poke into and get it to reset or something
3) Cant remove the battery also coz it doesnt have any screws I can open up to take out the battery
:,-( I am screwed....I think I just found myself a "new door-stopper" and/or paper weight.
Is there some other way around this?
I too faced this problem on my karbonn a9+ .... I gave to service centre and they repaired and gave back in 5 days :-/

Your phone will start and a screen appears with the android sign and after some time few options.After Recovery mode arrived,Dont press any other keys..wait for few secs..then press volume down and choose "wipe data/ Factory reset"
3:Use your volume button for scrolling.

You would get much better support if you ask someone familiar with that device. i did some digging around the forum and found these.
(for flashing official firmware) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326368 (According to this thread, you have to download the official firmware for the device which is around 700mb and then flash it using livesuite)
(Rooting/CWM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161959

The tab has a reset hole next to the microphone . Just insert a safety pin inside that hole , your tab will be reset .

[Q] Broken screen & blind install

Hi Guys !
Need some help on this one. I broke my SII LCD (the touchscreen still work) and it looks like usb debugging is not enabled.
I would like to try to use some software like screencast to be able to remote control it but it's not detected buy adb (so I guess usb debugging disabled...)
My idea would be to install a rom with usb debugging enabled by default to be able to get the device detected by adb
Any idea of what rom I could use and on how to proceed ?
Try Team Viewer Quick Support ! If you need any help just let me know.
You can use Neatrom . It's enable by default in it.
Thanks for the answers !
