G535 Update to Lollipop (EE Kestrel) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was searching about the internet and the forums to see if there was any way to update the EE Kestrel to KK or L. I found this site and it looks a bit to good to be true.
http://www.lollipop-rom.org/mp3-0/huawei-ascend-g535-6678.html
But if its possible could anyone point me in the right direct to find a custom rom that will update this device to 4.4 or maybe 5?
Thanks in advance!

Please be more specific. What kind of problems do you have?
Most of the threads for ROM are labeled to be compatible with t-mobile USA HD2 or not. Check out the HD2 Rom development subforum

LAZINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obviously you havent even checked for yourself. You would even see in the freakin title that it will say "Android compatible"!! Do research before starting a pointless thread.
The MODs of this forum have to go around closing threads like this and its a waste of their time. They could be doing something more productive.
Man just go check the ROM development thread for TMO US HD2! most Roms are compatible with Android, or check htcpedia.com I use Miri's Roms all the time, fully compatible with Android. Close Thread.

I have Spice MI 280 with 2.3.4 pre-installed.
I want to update my device to a higher version, maybe 2.3.7 which will be compatible for my device.
Please help! I am new to all this and bought a cheap phone only to learn these things. Besides, its my first Android phone and one month old. I have rooted it.
Please help me update it to a version that will be stable for my device.
650 mHz processor
150 mb RAM

Hey Ironic138! I know there aint any official update from the manufacturer.
I was wondering if there is any way to update my OS to the Google Android ver 2.3.x
Not for any specific manufacturer. Just the one that Google provides as Spice didn't launch any updates for ANY of its device...
Thanks!
Sorry, but i dont get the point. Do you mean a custom rom?
Exactly! That's the term!

Why do you need the update? Whats wrong with 2.3.4?
I think, you have to talk to the user rjunraj, he is also searching for a way to update his phone!
CynogenMod?

In few forums I saw that CynogenMOD works for most devices but then how do I know it will work for me? Whether it will be stable or not.
I know these must be Noob questions for the pro so guys please save the harsh comments. I am looking fwd to learn how on this "now-feeling-crap" phone
First of all you need the CWM Recovery. Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26406717
Thats all what i can do for you!
Well your phone can defienetly not get ICS, and I don't think there is any differense between 2.3.X versions, the only thing would be if you could find a good CyanogenMod 7 custom ROM.
Thats the point, the phone has less ram and the CPU is not fast enough for ICS.
I don't really the problem with 2.3.4?!

[Q] Gah! Head hurts, want to root my GT-7510 ICS - Please help!

I've been reading forums and searching forums all day, but can't seem to find a definitive answer to whether I'll be able to root my specific version of tablet or not, there's so many different types, build numbers, UK versions/US versions my head is close to blowing! Any advice would be soo much appreciated.
I bought a tablet off Ebay, a GT-7510 (US version I think, although I live in the UK) which came with Honeycomb installed. I then updated OTA to ICS 4.0.4, but it seems pretty laggy in general compared to the other Galaxy tabs I've seen, now I'm at the point where I'd like to root it and try some custom roms to see if they're any better than the stock ICS rom.
Here is the info for my tab which I think is relevant:-
Android Version 4.0.4
Kernel version 3.1.10
Build number IMM76D.UELPL
I've found so many different methods of how to root certain variations, but can't be certain if one of them applies to my tablet, whether I'd have to flash it back to Honeycomb, whether it only works for UK or US versions etc etc, that I've given up searching and thought I'd start my own post, and hope that somebody could tell me whether I can definitely root my device, and which would be the best method to do it? I have no warranty on my device as it's a refurb, so rooting doesn't bother me, but I'm worried about using the wrong method and bricking it.
Really hope somebody can help me, thanks very much in advance for any advice.

For the P7510, rooting it is dead easy - just download a recovery and flash it using ODIN. See the rooting guides here. Honeycomb doesn't complicate things at all.
Thanks k1mu, when you say honeycomb doesn't complicate it at all, some of the guides I've read specify that they're for honeycomb installations only, I have the stock ICS rom which was installed OTA, is Android version not an issue anymore, and the guides will work no matter which version you have installed? Also, my tablet is a GT-7510, not a P7510, not sure what the difference is, if any? Sorry if I seem dumb, just want to be sure before I go ahead.
Thanks very much for your help.
Just to update for anybody searching who is as confused as I was, I got root access using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029664 from user Jovimon.

Is there a way to downgrade sm-850A back to Kit Kat?

My boyfriend's AT&T Galaxy Alpha just auto-updated to lollipop.. nothing seem to work correctly, even with a factory reset. Everything was working perfectly fine on Kit Kat. I was wondering is it possible to downgrade back to Kit Kat with this phone?
I have limited experience with Android. I know it is possible to do this for devices that is rooted (e.g my Galaxy S5 or my Nexus 7). But I don't quite know where to start for the SM-850A, where the device is not rooted.

Hello,
Downgrading is not shown as an option, neither is someone working on a root exploit for either of the versions (KitKat and Lollipop in this case) so I guess you're stuck with the Lollipop version. Although its not that bad you could wait for someone to release a rooting method so it could get easier for you to downgrade but until then you're stuck :/ Sad to say there arent much choices with that model :/
Best regards,
James

Thanks James! yeah I know this model doesn't have a root and I don't think it will ever be an option (never say never but meh!)... But curious was it possible to downgrade without a root. Thanks for answering my question I like the phone, I did buy it for myself (and the bf too).. but I returned it after seeing there was no root... but the bf kept his...now he is hating it!

Hello,
The issue is that you cannot get the KitKat firmware from anywhere, nobody has ever tried to upload it at all, otherwise I would of recommended it for sure.

Is there a ROM for SM-G361F (core prime ve lte) coreprimevelte?

Hi,
I am new here and as my first post I cannot post directly in the ROM section. I am after a custom ROM and not the OEM firmware that I have already downloaded from sammobile.com.
I have searched the ROM forum and I have found ROMs for several versions of my phone but not my particular spec: SM-G361F (core prime ve lte) coreprimevelte
Have I missed a compatible ROM in my search or are other ROMs for similar specs e.g. coreprimeve3g compatible or do I have to develop/build my own from source?
Your help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Alex
In the meantime I am in the process of trying to learn and mod the official firmware for this phone using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-develop-modify-roms-t3616040
If it is successful I will make available here.
The next step would be to try and port one of the existing custom ROMs but still much to learn.

This is where I previously downloaded the OEM firmware from but I am after an unbloated custom ROM version e.g. slimrom or even Lineage OS.
Like I said in the meantime, I am going to try to create an unbloated version following the guide previously mentioned.
Hi,
did you find custom ROMS finally ?
Hey, im interested in a custom rom for g361f too...have you found or made anything?
nope
Hi,
I'm working on grandprimevelte, as it has the same SoC as this phone coreprimevelte I could try to do some ROM for it.
But I'll need a tester as I don't own this phone.
You can find my work on this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development/lineageos-13-0-grand-prime-velte-t3874411

I can test it for you. I work in a phone store and have acces to multiple g361f phones. So if anyone has anything to test out I can help.
We use the g361f phones as loaners so it would be nice to rune some sort of up to date firmware on it.
count me in
I have this phone and would be happy to test a custom rom
Try this
