CWM recovery method?
tiliarou said:
Updated yesterday to KK and it seems to work quite well !
I tried using OTA voodoo rootkeeper but it failed to restore the root after update so I used the CWM recovery method and it worked great.
One annoying thing is that I cannot quickly switch the sim card I want to use while in the SMS app. I used to dropdown the notification bar and there were 3 buttons to choose (sim 1, sim 2, always ask).
Now I have to dropdown notif bar, expand settings, click on the Message icon and change the behaviour for sending SMS... Very annoying !!!

Hi everybody!
Like everyone else I had lost root after updating to KitKat. I also tried to recover it with OTA Rootkeeper, but it wasn´t possible.
So what exactely is meant by the before mentioned "CWM recovery method"? I´d really like root back, but nothing is said/written about what to do AFTER having updated to KitKat.
Every answer is very much appreciated.

It is as simple as reading the topic start / first post!
Just use the Flash / CWM method like aways/before!?
So download my (or your) scatter file and CWM recovery by vache (or Carlivs CTR) and flash it with SP Flash Tool (older version) etc. and install SuperSU from ZIP (SD) in your new CWM recovery.
Great!

Thx Hackwerk!
I thought so, but wanted to be sure.
I usually use One-Click-methods, but none is working for KitKat so far.
Thx again!

Root Acer liquid e380
Ola
pode me ajudar por favor
estou a tentar fazer root no acer liquid E3 mais não funciona e não sei porque ja tentei com muitos programas e nada , pode me ajudar ?
Acer e3 4.4.2
I have the single sim version (1gb of ram) in the UK on Three network. I still have not had the kitkat update and many on the Acer forum haven't. If & when I do what is the best way to root it as I'd like to try out an app the supports part of the memory card to be used as RAM. Assuming these actualy work that is.
Edit:- just seen post above about rooting. Are the memory card to ram apps any good?
Thanks.
Kitkat already available in Belgium?
I've seen numerous post of people claiming they have gotten the kitkat update for acer liquid e380 in Belgium. I own the single-sim version and also live in Belgium but still haven't gotten any update notification. If I check for updates it says that I'm up-to-date. What is going? Hasn't it rolled out for everyone in Belgium yet?

Read post #3 above. Someone already explained how to.
4.4.2 Update Single Sim UK on Three
Does anyone know who is holding up the update for the single sim uk Acer E3.
Build number:- Acer_AV052_E380_1.006.00_EMEA_3UKs
Three say they have not yet recieved it from Acer. Would this be true?
That's the build number I had on three,that's not even the most up to date jellybean build,I flashed the 1.016.00 gen1 build from the development thread and that jb build was so much better than the three UK build,it also had the kitkat ota ready to go on first boot after flash
Hi Gary,
That's a Three branded build. I think officially you should ask Three for the upgrade. Unofficially I am quite sure you should be able to upgrade to the GEN1 release using the instructions in the thread.
Regards,
Nika.
1.016.0 ?! I'm on 1.005.0, is something wrong with my device? It still says up-to-date.
Acer_AV052_E380_1.005.0_EMEA_BGCs
Btw, will I void my warranty when flashing an official rom? I'm not new to flashing, but because I haven't flashed anything on an acer device I'm pretty much lost already, and I don't want to brick my acer either.

BGCs = Belgacom Single SIM device. It's under control by Belgacom, so please contact them if you want an official upgrade. Can't say anything about warranty. I would expect that if a flash causes a system to fail it would not be covered by warranty...what they do when the original BGCs ROM is not on it when you have another issue, I don't know either... sorry...(officially they would always be allowed to deny warranty as soon as you start doing stuff like this I guess)

Yes you will void you're warranty flashing the Roms from these two threads as you need root and a custom recovery,and yes this acer had me stumped for a while but actually this device is the most simple device to flash that I've had,using sp flash tool it's all done effortlessly in just a few clicks in just a few minutes,I've bricked my device so many times
Flash it is then
Ok I want to flash to unbranded latest firmware, or newer Jellybean & the OTA kitkat if you guys will help.
I have:- SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1344.0.212, USB VCOM Driver MT6589 & I've just downloaded 635475739172038202_OTA_Acer_1.0_AV052_A but this from from under Hackwerks sig so this is the duo 4.4.2 firmware. Mine is the 1gb single sim model. Is this the same or will I need different firmware.
A dumpties how to would be great. I am competent in these thing if shown how to do them. Last phone I flashed was Sony K750i !

You have same phone as me,here's how I killed two birds with one stone with regards latest jellybean and kitkat,I created folder on desktop and called it acer tools so sp flashtool would find it easy,then I downloaded the latest jellybean Rom which vache posted on page 28 of the dev thread and copied it to the folder acer tools,then downloaded the supersu zip and placed it in my folder,then downloaded vache's cwm and Carliv touch recovery and placed in folder,fire up sp flash tool and do not connect phone to pc just yet,click on the word scatter file then to the left find you're folder and click on you're downloaded Rom and click scatter file then click open at the bottom,it should all then load up,now click download,now,with you're phone switched off(blue led) connect to pc,watch the loading bar and wait for green circle,all done!,reboot and you will have latest jellybean Rom with the kitkat update ready and waiting
Nearly there !
OK I now have all the downloads you mentioned from the sources you did.
I unzipped the rom file.
So I click on Scatter Loading on the right & load that txt file in the rom folder. All the files load in the bottom window all ticked.
Does the phone need to be rooted first?
Where does Acer E380 - Recovery - Carliv Touch Recovery 2.5 & Acer E380 - Recovery - CWM 6.0.5.0 by vache come in play in all of this?
I need to know how to turn my phone off with the blue LED. (is this USB de-bug mode)
Does it all sound good so far?

I never unzipped the Rom,just copied the download to my folder,now you ask,I'm not sure about root,this method completely flashed a totally bricked phone so I assume root does not matter because when you do this the New Rom is unrooted with stock recovery hence the custom recovery downloads needed for when Rom is flashed,the blue led appears after you have just plain and simply powered you're phone off and plugged it into pc after clicking on download,once Rom is successfully flashed go back into sp flash tool(download hackwerks scatter file) and load hackwerks scatterfile like before then tick the recovery box,then click on the word recovery and load one of the custom recoveries you downloaded then click download,plug in you're switched off phone,blue led will show and sp tool will do its thing,you will then have Rom with custom recovery,place supersu zip on sd card and flash it from recovery then you are also rooted but if you decide to update to kitkat you must flash back stock recovery
flash
I couldn't get the flash programming to recognise the zip file, so had to unzip.
I'm not too bothered about root after its all done, as my Lloyd's banking app won't work.
So I won't really need the other files will I?

Is it possible to flash a Lenovo A806 phone with a ROM that's not from Lenovo?
I want to take the stock ROM and replace it with a pure Android 4.4.2 Rom.
Basically, change the OS to pure android and away from Lenovo.
Thanks
Troy
Please, Bump
Okay,
Follow up question.
Can I flash the A806 with a MTK6592 ROM?
Flashing a ROM
So did I put this in the wrong thread?
No body here knows about flashing ROM's?
Where should I ask this question to get an answer?
Thanks
For flashing and rooting search for A806 + root in XDA forums, there is separate thread about rooting where I also posted link to my blog where is English how to root it and flash custom recovery so you can flash any ROM. As for clean Android see below.
there is AOSP Beta 1 (ported VIVO?) Kit Kat ROM available for A806 and A808T in one package released few days ago, more info in this thread:
http://bbs.lenovo.com/a8/t476045/
here is untouched ZIP file with AOSP ROM for A808T and A806 reuploaded by me:
http://www.mirrorupload.net/file/JC2BS6QC/#!Lenovo_A808T_AND_A806_AOSP_BETA1.zip
don't use OTA automatic update after flashing this ROM!
Xposed still should not work, gestures on switched off black screen should not work, except Weather and some Mobile phone assistant (flashing tools?) ROM should be pure Kit Kat without Lenovo stuff since it's ported from VIVO phone (?)
there should be also some issue with notification bar freezing phone when opening Wifi settings, here is patch for it (although I red about different issue about reported wrong storage capacity 8GB instead of 16GB) untouched reuploaded by me
http://www.mirrorupload.net/file/NHQXFMVZ/#!zip
for issue with Wifi disconnecting in Advanced wifi settings you should set ALWAYS connected, no energy saving or anything
I haven't tested this ROM, so use it on your own risk, more info from people who used it are in thread linked in beginning of my post but I tried to summarize all information on first 17 pages of that thread. I am still waiting for someone to test it on A806 and give me feedback, I don't feel that adveturous to reinstall everything.
Thanks,
Could you answer my questions?
Thanks
I also having problem to flash A806. It's from china. Most of the apps using china character.
I manage to flash a ROM suing SP tool and rom from needrom dot com.
I still have android 4.4.2 on my device cuz my phone is rooted and i have heard i will loose root if i upgrade to 4.4.4. I simply don't want to root again. I have super su pro and survival mode is enabled. I also have xposed framework installed with gravity box and greenify modules. I have heard i can't upgrade unless i uninstall xposed. So my question is, can i upgrade without losing root n having xposed? Has anybody successfully done it? N yeah i have twrp recovery.
Thanks in advance
Has anybody got the stock firmware of Moto E Indian version? The file is named "Android 4.4.2
Blur_Version.20.11.14.condor_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03" and can be downloaded from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=34
But that site doesn't support resume and is slow as hell and download always fails and restarts from the beginning. So it's literally impossible for me to download from there. Either give me an alternative link to that file (Googled a lot, found no mirror) or someone please kindly extract recovery.img from the ZIP of the firmware and post it here.
Thanks in advance.
I know I have to reflash stock recovery in order to be able to upgrade to 4.4.4.
I have manually flashed the 4.4.4 version of android using TWRP and using the OTA update from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/4-4-4-ota-update-zip-file-t2811397 which has been modified and made flashable with TWRP. Many thanks to Gogeta.
Problem is sorted out.

Actually, all that's needed is modem.img from the KDZ for the WiFi to work. Also normal flash should do it too.

it's ok
Upload the screen shots.
Can I flash this with twrp recovery over stock kk?
D620r lolipop
When flashed via TWRP it works wifi, but not GSM. When flashed via KDZ, everything works.
Boot loop
I have a d620 that came with a v10e firmware. Two nights ago my phone updated to the 5.0.2 and I got stucked on the lg logo. Fortunately I've managed to flash it back using the stock rom. I really want to update to lollipop and I was wondering if any of you guys know how to get around the bootloop problem.

Can't install
IH after i'm try to install vkernel the phone is bricked now i flash stock and reunlock but when i try to install the phone doeasn't boot . is stucks on lg bootanimation, any solution?sorry for my bad english
Will It work when ive flashed another kernel?
Ive got a D620 with CM 12 installed and an Overclocking Kernel that (as far as I know) only works with the CM Rom...
How can I undo this and flash the stock kernel? I havent found it as download here...
D618 V20b lollipop BUG on COC
is there any bug on COC graphic failures on war logs and etc.? on clash of clans?
im using the stock-rom lollipop - CIS version and the bug on the COC game.
you have Screen wake up notifications with Glimpse Notifications from google play, for all lg g2 mini. perfect.
I've flashed the zip on my d620r, everything works great. There are no bugs, battery life is very good compared with KitKat 4.4.2, and smoother overall. Great job!
Upgrade from V10g to V20a keeping data
First of all, thanks to all putting effort into this development.
I own a D620r with software V10g and KitKat 4.4.2, unlocked bootloader and TWRP. I used towelroot to root it. Everything runs fine so far.
I got a notification for the official OTA update to V20a and downloaded it to the device. I tried to apply it but were stuck in a recovery loop. I learned that official OTA updates need stock recovery and I cannot apply them having TWRP installed. I applied this fix to escape from recovery loop. The device is alive again, but the LG updater app asks to apply the downloaded update once a day.
Now I found this thread. The phone is my main device and contains lots of apps and settings. I want to keep the data if possible.
A) Do I have to expect trouble when I flash the V20a from this thread without wiping the data partition?
B.1) Or would the following procedure be an alternative:
Flash stock recovery (I made a backup using Rashr)
Revert bootloader to original locked aboot
Apply OTA update
Root
Replace bootloader with the unlocked one
Flash TWRP
B.2) I read that towelroot is based on a security vulnerability of the linux kernel that is fixed with Lollipop . If that is true, can someone give a hint how to root on Lollipop?
C) Can I choose between V20c/D620 and V20a/D620r or do they belong to different devices and are incompatible?
Thanks for your time reading this post.
Thanks
Thank you for the Rom and the instructions. It works great, there are no functions that are not working.
It also solves the bug for the smartwatches that caused battery drains on Kitkat.
when a version with xposed???
peligropowers said:

Click to expand...

Never, because this is the stock rom in a flashable .zip for custom recovery.
And xposed for android 5 ist still alpha and doesn't work correct on our phone.
If you want to try xposed you can just install it.
Read the xposed thread for that.
Please don't ask any further questions about xposed here, this thread is only about zip flashable stock rom.
Thank you.
Installing this ROM
This post was a mistake. Question is below this.
I just flashed this ROM and a problem appeared
Every time I boot my phone up I get this message.
WARNING!
Current version is not available for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/mnc[29403],subset[FF]
What does it mean?
EDIT:
Also one more question, can I update my phone OTA in case there is a new software?
Hi everyone, I have a problem with my Lg L9 II, it's the the stock rom but updated on 4.4.2 (KitKat).I have some bugs on my phone and it's a bit slower.I want to the install my original rom 4.1.2, I dowloaded him from your forum but when I transfer on SD Card and open CWM with the button volume up and power key I get the block ( I take picture and she is in attachment). I don't have a root. Can anyone explain me how to fix that, that I can install my original rom with CWM or TWRP. I hope so that You can help me, and sorry if the that thread is duplicate, I'm new here and don't know how it's work. Thanx in advice.
Kind Regards
did you had CWM installed!?
if you want "original" ROM (from LG), install the 4.4.2_V20g version via KDZ install (20g is the best version in my experience).
if you want cwm or twrp to experiment custom roms.... a good start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730501

You need to flash the respective V10x kdz(according to your region). V20 is KitKat. V10 is JellyBean.
I own a Blu Life One 2015 X011Q. I am looking for either stock rom or custom. I've been searching everywhere and I end up in a forum for another similar named device. I am aware there is a whole line and some running media tek while others run qualcomm. I am running a qualcomm. I have twrp installed but can't get the phone to boot pass the Blu logo.
I have QMobile Z8 which is said to be same as Blu Life One (2015). I'm not sure about that. But if it's so, I can help you flash Q Mobile Z8 Stock Firmware.
Also Wiko Ridge 4G is same as QMobile Z8.

There are some flashable custom ROM's created by @ASAZING for Wiko Ridge 4G which is also same as QMobile Z8 and Blu Life One (2015). But I haven't been able to test these ROM's so far because no Custom Recovery works for me as I have explained in this post. Btw, which custom recovery you are using for your device?
Coming to the second option: Stock ROM, there isn't any flashable zip available. But Factory Firmware files are available online which can be flashed using QFIL detailed in this thread.

I have twrp as my custom recovery I flashed and rooted with this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/blu-life-one-xl-2015-build-ktu84p-root-t3229893
Now that I have twrp I just need a rom. I tried flashing the stock but was having problems I thought maybe it was the rom itself but did a little research and realized others were having problems too. It was solved by using mtk flash tools but since I have a qualcomm verison I did not know what to do I'm glad you direct me to a qual flasher that just might solve my problem. I'll keep you up to date.

Well I tested the QZ mobile and wiko ridge theory and flashed this custom [email protected] https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-miui-v6-wiko-ridge-fab-4g-qmobile-t3165157 it worked except for my screen kept autorotating upside down with all google apps. I had this same problem with another phone I ported with a rom similar to it. I had to change some files in the recovery image itself but it was for upside down on everything. This time its only limited to gapps related apps. Any clues or should i start googling?

I tried flashing two other boot. Img but it just hangs on the logo. I did it through fastboot flash boot boot. Img. I'm at a lose I had to put the phone in rotation lock. Do you know any compatible kernels? Now that I had time to explore the rom I realized all the apps that have rotation capabilities are upside down I even went into the build. prop and add the line ro. sf. hwrotation=180.
