Replacing the boot file
Hello, I am the user of a samsung galaxy exhilerate. I was very excited to find this page so that the CM roms could work again. However I unzip the folder replace the boot file and rezip the folder and upon attempting install the installation is aborted shortly after starting. Is there something I have to do to the file besides rezip it? Sign it or something like that? I have read some tutorials about zipping apk files but nothing on zip files. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Downloaded winRAR which allowed me to open the zip file, replace the boot file and unlike doing this by default in windows the signature was still present, so I am good.
My other question: Why aren't the people posting these nightlies aware of the issue? I'm probably not understanding something about the development process because I am new to it, but I can't figure this out.
Edit: I would also like to report a bug in kitkat 4.4.4 on my samsung galaxy exhilerate. I am using the cyanogen mod nightly from Oct 31, 2014 with the boot file provided in this thread to make it work.
The issue is with bluetooth, when I make calls I only hear some popping noise when iniating the call, no words ever come through and they cannot hear me on the other end either. This worked fine with stock ICS but I have had these issues with 4.4.4 and cyanfox unofficial 4.4.2. While using my phone to make calls in my car through ford SYNC bluetooth works fine when I am called but does not work for outgoing calls, very strange as this is in contrast to it not working at all with my headsets (I have an old headset and a new one purchased last week)
I have found a this information from the android police website:
"For the first few years Android relied on BlueZ, a "protocol stack" originally developed by Qualcomm for the Linux operating system. Despite many limitations and missing features, BlueZ served admirably until Android 4.2 launched with a new stack dubbed Bluedroid, a project built jointly by Google and Broadcom."
My Exhilerate uses a Qualcomm for 4G as illustrated by a sticker on top of the phone (perhaps this hardware vendor is the same for the bluetooth function?) In this case it would stand to reason that moving to a broadcom based software after Android 4.2 could cause some issues for this phone. Is there any way to either use the old pre- android 4.2 software for bluetooth while keeping the other software the same, or better yet is there a workaround to get my phone to work with the broadcom based software?
So I recently got an Exhilarate and want to put a rom on it. I did CM on my previous phone so I'm not entirely new at this, however that one was a stable release.
I'm interested in Carbon for this phone but I'm wondering if there's any outstanding issues? I'd read that in the early days there were issues with the camera and sound. Are these resolved? Any others I should know about? I'd like to know before rooting my phone.
Thanks!

I have had that same crazy Bluetooth issue on every custom ROM on the Exhilarate (JB & Kitkat). I've searched all over the place for a solution and come up empty. It's my only issue besides not having enough internal storage space.

The Exhilarate is a whole new phone with a kitkat ROM. I highly recommend CarbonROM with the Uber kernel (hyperlink in my signature). A strange Bluetooth in-call audio problem as discussed above is the only significant issue; Bluetooth works just fine for all other audio. Note...the July 31st nightly was the last one that will boot properly without replacing the boot.img file.
Camera works fine, however barcode scanning apps will show a black screen but still work.
Speaker volume is a bit low. Headset volume is reasonable.
boot.img
I think the boot.img link is broken. Can you upload the boot.img one more time please.

Don't flash it. You need to delete the "bad" boot.img from the ROM zip file and copy this one into the zip file. Use a compression utility app like ZArchiver to do that. You can find it on the play store.

Hi, I just bought a brand-less China-made Android phone with the words "4G LTE" on its back. It is dual SIM and a portable TV.
I would like to know if there is a better ROM while retaining the 2 features abovementioned?
Looking at the About Phone and Sysinfo, it says that it is a:
Processor: ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l)

What would you advise? Thanks!

MIUI se convierte en Open Source
Looking for the same thing, anyway somone could provide a link to techknow china roms? I tried google it brought up several entries. Can't get a bead on it.
h4300, is currently having problems with the screen getting out of sync (i think) starts to scramble and stuff like that.
The power button never worked out of the box, I had edited the key files to get functionality out of it, but I still cant turn it on. When its in the powered off state.
I am thinking this is just a rom issue. Since I am fairly new to the android scene, I cants say for sure.
Certainly, compiling my own rom is an option. Before I even attempt that I have to figure out how to get a recovery option going. I'm not even sure if its possible to get clockworkmod on this phone.
It's just so hard to find info on these mt65xx phones. If anyone has experience with mt65xx china phones, concerning backup, recovery, flashing. Please send me a PM.
What I need to figure out is how to backup the ROM on it, and flash new one. I guess I can live with finding / or compiling my own. However I would like to avoid building my own.
Thank you for you responses.
---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
I want to note, that I would like to just (re)flash the original rom, as opposed flashing a custom one.
I am thinking something got corrupt during their flash process. Talking to china customer support about it isn't yielding any results. They just keep asking me to send it back, and shipping it back costs more then the cost of the actual phone.
If I could just find the correct tools to flash, and back up. It would be a step in the right direction.
Again thank for your responses, helpful or not.
Search google for a chinese htc hd2 clone someone did a port of cyanogen and recovery for it mate. Once i arrive home i will also try to search for the phone again

p/s. I just saw that this H4300 phone has a new 3D ROM!! (really wondering where I can get the ROM now~~)
http://www.dhgate.com/2gb-thunderbo...oid-2/p-ff80808133cfdacc0134131448f7623e.html
well decided to send it back (found a cheaper way) Got the new phone and working great except that the app HP Eprint$biz is not printing my pictures over cell data connection, all automatically print failure....
I dont get how it works on one and not on the other its the same phone. Am I missing something simple???
***EDIT** Ehh whatever went to an older version all is well. I can live with that.
I think I just found a cwm recovery....gotta test
Also another ROM ... will test both by end of week.
***edit sadly I was unable to get the other ROM I found working.....still testing with it***

Have you create a new scatter file for your phone?
The phone is a Hero H4300 using Mediatek chip MT6573. If you look for "H4300 Thunderbolt" on Youtube, you can see that the manufacturer has a new 3D ROM for it. It will be great if we can flash our devices with this new ROM. Thanks for your great job and I am looking forward to a custom ROM for this little wonder, because the stock Bluetooth does NOT work well, and Skype for Android has a problem with it too, apparently.

No I never did create a scatter file for the h4300 with the MT657x3 Flash Tool. I do know it can be done. The process was a little over my head at the time. Being pretty new to the android platform I just wanted a simple solution to do backups and recovery (quick and easy) which is why I was trying so hard to find a CWM recovery for it.
I did manage to get the recovery working using the scatter file that came with the original rom, I just clicked on the recovery file, and browsed to the (CWM Like)recovery and flashed. I got and error when done flashing it (but it works, tested nandroid backup and restore, but thats all I tested) Im not sure if this was the correct procedure....I doubt it was. But backups and recovery worked for me. I dont want to mess around with it too much if that functionality is working.

I am not responsible for any part of the creation of this. I merely translated the sites and found a recovery that worked.

Thanks for these ROMs - working great on my ATV1220 (G02).
Please could you point me at the source code and config used for the kernel build? I see some kernel repos at https://github.com/CoreTech-Development but none that seem new enough given that the release changelog suggests that a kernel from March 2014 is being used.

Mygica atv1200 rebooting over and over
I tried to install the mx Linux build for atv1200 posted in the forum here. it said to run the conversion file first then flash the latest release for geniatech/mygica atv1200. I made the sdcard up following the instructions in the readme file included. when I popped the sdcard in and did the upgrade process, it booted to a screen with the Linux penguin, and a yellow progress bar. I seemed to finish then reboot. but it has been doing that same process over and over for the last hour, and it seems not to be working. I tried to revert back to android but it would not boot. I tried making bootable sdcard with geniatech uboot bin, and mygica rom, but it woin't boot. then I made the sdcard with the mx Linux conversion files again, and it boots, but just keeps rebooting with the penguin screen and the progress bar. any help would be greatly appreciated. seems like there are not a lot of people having the same problem cause I cannot find a solution anywhere.

Amlogic M3
I managed to flash an early xios linux "the hydra" xbmc onto my amlogic droid stick but the wifi is completely gone which makes it hard to do anything. For some reason my unit doesn't have a bootloader, nor a reset button (so i'm doing the advancedlauncher -> sh -> reboot recovery way in xbmc) and there doesn't seem to be any other recovery roms available for it.
Figured i'd try the M3 linux from here, but apparently this is configured to assert a getprop for specific hardware. I can change that myself, but when i sign the zip my unit refuses to go past that verification. With this rom the signing verification is fine, but assertion fails. I can fix that myself but how did you go about and sign the zip? I've tried a few different ways (apksigner, jarsigner) to no avail. There is very little information on what recovery (3e) actually checks, any clues on how to resolve that? (All it says is signature verification failed when i sign, with test keys and self made other keys).

Codesnake help needed
I have a square s802 M8. I recently tried several different OpenELEC zips, most zips received NO FOOTER errors and would not install but most of the ones that did install, did not have any access to wireless networks under OpenELEC settings. Including Codesnakes ROMs. They would not allow access to wireless networks. So, I finally came across a Russian zip on xbmc.ru that installed and it is the latest developer zip found at: OpenELEC-Amlogic.S82.arm-devel-20150113183017-r20272-g0481f0c.zip. After zipping it to the s802, I realized it is for the S82. It still worked but it seems to have some bugginess. It is getting stuck on the opening stream window and the working spinning wheel is getting stuck too often. I am used to Stane's MX Linux and got spoiled with speed. Please help, I need a network working .zip with audio/video synced properly and speed. Any suggestions on a more suitable ROM zip? All of codesnake's OpenELEC ROMs seem to not have wireless networks enabled. Is there a way to have ethernet hooked up after installing codesnake's zip and then get wireless by downloading a network setting addon or enabling an OpenELEC setting feature??
hey guys,
just wanted to tell you that at the miui forums there is already a cyanogenmod 12.1 ported for the redmi 3. its a zip to load via TWRP and only for unlocked bootloader.
its the 4th version and it's pretty much stable. been using the rom as a daily driver for 5 days now and everything worked so far. i havent tested every function but camera, gps, wifi, 4g data, bluetooth, etc works super fine. only thing is that battery life is superior on original miui rom. anyone interested in getting rid of miui check out the link.
http://en.miui.com/thread-249717-1-1.html
p.s. wipe phone first before installing CM.
p.p.s. don't forget 64bit gapps if you need it!

Great news!
How bad is the batterylife and is the pictures taken with the camera as good as with miui?
I dirty flashed this 4th version over the 3rd one. No need to flash gapps if you dirty flash from previous version.
There are 5 chinese apps, I froze them with titanium.
No issues so far. Been using the 3rd version about a week now.
So how is the battery life?
battery life with the 4th version is pretty much on par with miui now.
this cm comes with root (toggle in developer options) so i just uninstalled the 6 Chinese apps with system app remover.
What about camera quality, focus speed and HDR? Are those on par with MIUI?
Chinese user here! I flashed this ported CM 12.1 this morning. I also found the annoying existence of Baidu and 360 apps preinstalled in this rom. Because im not sure how xposed works with this ported CM 12.1, so i flashed back to MIUI 6.3.25 for there's a relatively stable xposed support
Using it for over 2 days now and I am impressed.
Its very stable and fully operational.
Apart from chineese apps pre-installed, theres not even one fault with it.
Battery and camera just fine, as on original MIUI.
Beauty and simplicity of CM was just what I needed for my Redmi3.
Cheers.
Does someone know if this will work on redmi 3 PRO?

Most likely, it wont. Even though phones have exactly same specs, you might find that there could be some differences in things like sensors, camera etc.
So yeah, it might boot, but you most likely will be annoyed by multiple things not working (including fingerprint sensor)
there are a few versions on the miui chinese forums (which I can read and translate), anyway what I've read is that 1 of the CM12.1 ROMs come with trojan horse (but scanned via a chinese security app 360 antivirus) - http://www.miui.com/thread-3980415-1-1.html (the user said she was on CM12.1 4th version)
Please do try a scan with your antivirus (on Android, I use Sophos) of choice just to be safe. I would do it but I'm still waiting for my bootloader to be unlocked.
What I've heard on the forum linked above is that development from cofface is trustworthy, hence I searched and indeed there is a CM12.1 ROM that was just uploaded. (http://www.miui.com/thread-3986022-1-1.html) It does not appear to come with any Chinese apps like the 4th version listed above. Maybe it's worth a try? (I'm not sure)
All CM12.1 versions:
http://www.miui.com/thread-3985299-1-1.html ROM dated 3/30, modded by Liberation, original by Flour_Mo (comes with Chinese apps)
http://www.miui.com/thread-3986022-6-1.html by Cofface (doesn't seem to have any bloatware)
http://www.miui.com/thread-3968326-1-1.html 4th version by Flour_Mo
CM 13 is also in the works but will take some time to become stable..
**apparently there is a buggy LED notification in all CM 12.1 builds

Hey, thanks for keeping us posted. I would like to install this cofface rom, but I cant get through chinese websites. Could you please give me a link, or upload it for me?
Much obliged.
can someone please share a link but not to chiniese site where to download i have to sign in with my phone number ?
How does performance looks compared to MIUI ? Do phone/contact/camera/messege apps launch faster or slower compared to MIUI ? How much free RAM is available after reboot ?

Thank you very much for clearing this up! I knew that there was something dodgy going on with those Roms!!! All the crap they are saying about "how we should use those apps and support devs" did sound like pile of sh*t to me. Someone from here really should post some screenshots of AV scans there and expose those bastards. It's really annoying that someone is even trying to do that...

When I was trying cm builds, the performance was actually really good. But somehow I started to like miui about free RAM, there was around 1.2 gigs available, I think. That decreases to 1 gig after you install gapps.

Go to miui forums and people usually re-post Roms to some other *drive website like gdrive again, I do not recommend using any of those scammy Roms until it is clarified that Roms are actually clean and legit

i think some of the developers there are legit (like the rooted ROM on this forum by greatslon and TWRP recovery by cofface http://www.miui.com/thread-3917207-1-1.html), not to worry, I believe it might even be false positives, since the AV scan is from a Chinese AV app (360 security) so... there is a chance its reporting false positives. Just have to see the response from those who have already flashed the ROMs. As for links to download, alright, will try to re-upload those ROMs or post the link to download here. Its actually pretty safe to register your phone number because its linked to the MIUI servers (the Chinese like to use phone numbers as a way to access many features, such as Airport WIFI etc)
To those wondering how to see the download links - its like the english version of the MIUI forums. you will have to set up a forum account, then comment once to gain "experience" and then the download link is revealed.
Hello guys, unfortunately I can't move my apps to the SD card. I have a UHS class 10 64Gb SD Card.
It says that I don't have enough space, while I have a lot, like 57Gb free.
Is anyone having the same problem, if not, how can I solve it anyway?

Sorry, I probably should have explained more what I meant.
cofface is a legit dev, who seems to be doing a great job for out little community.
But other devs, who do stuff like pre-installing some weird apps... I honestly cannot think of any excuses of why they are doing that, apart from spying/collecting your address books/etc.
So yeah, the only rom to try is cofface's at this moment. But then again, I can't seem to find any download link in that Chinese thread.
Anywho, I'm looking forward seeing cm13 on our phones, which is pretty exciting. And hopefully Android N in a near future ^^

I've posted the ROM in the xda forum and uploaded the ROM on google drive and MEGA. here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/development/rom-cm12-1-redmi-3-t3348916
the forum functions like the english miui forums where you have to create an account (your english miui account will do fine) and comment before you can see the download link! and the pre-installed apps are the chinese alternatives to the google apps that they don't have access to. If I'm not wrong.

Hi,i'm sasi2006166 and i want to join your "team", yes i know how to build roms in fact u can see many of my threads in j7 2016 exynos7870 section, thanks
I got it to work but not internet . I went back to 8.1. However even after I formatted and swiped everything my phone only says have 8 gigs of storage with only 2.5 available . This only happened after flashing this rom a few times . Any idea how to fix this so phone recognizes 16 gig ? Oh and btw your rom is cool and when I have more experience may put it back on . Thank you for all your great work on J7 , I love this phone !
@Tigerevo Hello, can you give us detail about how you restored to the stock ROM 8.1? Did you use TWRP backup or do you use ODIN to flash your phone?
---------- Post added at 03:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------
@minz1 I think I have I faint idea of what is causing the camera to misbehave, as I noted in another post about the quirks of the Oreo ROM in the J7 Perx, if you uninstall the stock Messages app or the Contacts app, it automatically ruin your camera, both front and rear making it unable to work while summoning any app that require them, it doesn't make the app crash or anything, it just show a black viewfinder unable to make it take a shot or record video, not even the flash. As for the LTE or by default 3G Internet, it's unfortunate that there are no open source for the Snapdragon 625 modem or binary blobs going around to interface with it. But all in all very smooth and nice running ROM for an initial Android 9.0 port to the J7 Perx
I formatted and swiped system . I then used odin.

Flashed to j727r4 and working with same bugs as mentioned. Had to flash the j7popltespr lineage 14.1 prior to flashing lineage build 16 in order for system to boot. Not sure why. Also magisk 20.0 prevents system from booting as well. Magisk 18.1 on the other hand is working. Crossing fingers for a working lineage 17.0 ?

Same problem here, grayed out options, these posts are within a few days of each other but surely this isn't something new... then again, if it is (something new), should it be taken to mean that there are indeed 'new' issues/features? Boy, now we're cooking with gasoline!
This is a solid rom, but my 'good phone' decided it needed to be in the bath (I'd already told it to be BY the bath, awaiting my requests) so now I'm all like: mllmlmm, you know? And don't even get me STARTED on spending money. Psht!

As the developer stated in her post, this ROM will not get further updates or end up as a final release because the burden to fix those bugs are unsurmontable for a single person. Let's behave as civilized people and not start talking nonsense to just pan handle some free meal.

IS THIS FORUM "DEAD" or something?! I've been BANGING my head against a WALL for about a month now trying to fix an apparent "Sms over Sgs" function being disabled on my N910P running LineageOS, if I use anything but a stock OS I'm not able to "send" SMS unless I switch to 3G. Does anyone possibly have the following files kicking around? The links to them are dead everywhere I've looked. That or any other bright ideas? Do I need to flash the baseband again after installing Lineage or something?
Aurora.N7.Port.v2.1_data/sms fix for Sprint
Aurora.N7.Port.v3_data/sms fix for Sprint
Hya! So I am in the same boat... I am trying to do research... So far I have not been finding anyone with answers past the N7 Port. I cant even seem to be able to install the ROM cuz I am on Q15 Baseband. I udnerstand that you can't downgrade once we committed to the latest.
I also am having huge bluetooth crashes. Trying to keep attached with my FitBit and keeps dropping.
Lets see if we can find some answers together!
I tried the download of the SMS fix for Sprint and flashed it but doesnt seem to work.

Think I've tried them both already, I've gone around in so many circles it's hard to keep track...
I have learned one key through my digging, seems most things need to "match" the same generation for the OS used.

Unfortunately those links were dead the first time I tried them a few months ago... Thanks though. The only real shred of hope I seem to have left is an older post that someone apparently flashed the baseband files from the last OS that "worked" and they got things functioning on the newer OS. Now I just have to figure out how to flash the baseband separately from the OS?! I think I can do that with Heimdall?

I thought we couldnt go back from the QI5 firmware... or did I miss something?
This really seems like a super simple solution that shouldnt be this hard. It really must be a software problem. I am super aggrivated ... probably like you.... that such a great hardware platform is being rendered so inefficent. There are no new phones that have the ability and versitility of this platform and I am committed to keeping this hardware for years to come. I dont need it to do a lot... I just need it to do the few things I require of it! I am thinking of starting a new thread in the sprint forum to get some current and collective knowledge of the best setup available for the N910P
