I need help with this very specific model phone:
Unlocking the Bootloader
Rooting
Finding a proper VIBEUI 1.5+ /KK 4.4.x FW that fits this specific model
I went through A LOT of forum pages
translated both chinese and russian forums
but had no luck with this phone.
I also read that VIBE UI 2.0 is about to come out
but the translation from Chinese always mentions something about some sort of "brush" software for upgrading
or the translation might have been off.
please help
it's a great phone but I'm limited here, I need KK to use BT4.0 and other features.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

i have a LG G PRO LITE DUAL ( lg g pro lite D686 ) that doesn't have FRENCH as one of the system language ( when you go to settings....>language & input .....> .... there is no option for french, and as a result, i CANNOT change the phone system language to french. i've tried all sort of apps ( locale text, morelocale2, text and locale, etc etc etc ) the only thing that happened was that part of the phone was changed to french, but not the system language. the majority of it is still in english.
I was told that the ONLY way i would be able to add/install/get french as a language on the phone is to either
1- CHANGE THE OPERATING SYSYTEM. the one on my phone is android 4.1.2. i was told that some operating systems like 4.2.2, or 4.4, and even 4.0.2, which i currently have on my htc phone come with french as part of the system language.
or
2- install some kind of custom ROM.
I would really appreciate it if someone out there could help me with either one of those options since I have no clue how to go about accomplishng any of these things, or if there is another way i can get french on my phone, please let me know as well.
I would even consider making a small donation, if you have paypal to thank you for your time.
some basic info about the phone:
its brand new, unlocked and unused, so i dont have to worry about backing up any data whatsoever.. i plan on shipping it to a french speaking country, which is why i absolutely MUST change it to french.
its an LG G PRO LITE DUAL phone
android version 4.1.2
and its already been rooted.
please help.
Looks like you might just be out of luck. There doesn't seem to be any development for that phone. Pretty sure the bootloader is locked meaning you can't install a custom recovery = no custom roms. Doesn't seem to be enough interest in the phone by developers to try any work arounds. Most likely because it is MTK based instead of their more normal Snapdragon processor phones.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 Verizon last year when I was traveling through US. I was able to root and unlock it to work with a carrier of my country (Brazil), I was even capable to set my language on the phone through the app "Language Enabler". I upgraded to android 4.3 and it worked just fine, but since when I upgraded the android to 4.4.2 my phone came back to the original language (english) and I couldn't set to my language anymore (Seems like Samsung is not providing additional languages outside US on this new android version) . Reading some treads here, I discovered that downgrading the android to a previous version (that included portuguese as a language option) would be impossible thanks to the bootloader. My question is, there is a method of unlocking the bootloader safely, so can I downgrade my phone from 4.4.2 to 4.3? Can anyone help me through it?
Hello everybody,
This is my second thread in XDA, so thanks in advance.
I have recently received a gift from a Chinese client.
This device (Huawei Y518-t00 DUAL SIM) has a Chinese Rom (i can´t link the device model because I am new member).
I have changed the language of the mobile phone to English but I am not able to find information about change the ROM to european or american version.
Is there any tutorial to flash another ROM on this device?
Thanks a lot guys!!!
Hi to all.
Could someone who has the Honor 9 in Chinese rom please give a full description of how it looks like and what are the cons of having a Chinese version device? I heard google apps are missing but that issue can be solved easily. what about the language and menu? If you choose English language would there be a problem with Chinese characters and stuff or you can enjoy a fully English phone?
A side from the fact that you have to install Google Service onto your device yourself. There isn't much of a difference between the Chinese version of the Honor 9 and the international version.
Help Please - "International" Firmware for China Mobile N3 m850a Smart Phone...(?)
The N3 m850a is a China Mobile produced smartphone.
It incorporates a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 MSM8953 chip.
The phone is installed with a Chinese version of Android 7, which means no Google apps and basically somewhat different menu setup.
I was hoping that, maybe, there is a firmware that could be compatible with this phone...preferably with some of the latest Androind platforms.
I would greatly appreciate any help or guidance with locating a possible firmware.
Thank you so much, all the best and stay safe in these turbulent times.
