Hi guys
Sorry for my first post being a help post !
I am a long time iPhone user and i just change to android and my first android phone is Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 (SM-G7508Q)
I bought this phone from china therefore it does not have google play store nor any google service !!!
I don't live in china so i rooted the device to install google service and play store and it works (mostly) but sometime i receive a message says google service has stopped and that really annoys after time !!
So i decided to install hong kong rom which allows google service automaticaly !!
I have downloaded 3 different firmware BUT !!!
when I try to flash them using odin I always receive the same error message !!!
volume size is too big odin invalid ext4 image !!!
I figured that the firmware size is really too big all of them are around 1,8 GB so downloaded a smaller size firmware which was 1,5 GB and the installation was successful (that firmware was also chinese one so no google service )
I really need to install one of the hong kong firmware but they are all big sizes !!
Is there anyone have any idea to how to solve that issue ??
how to solve volume size is too big odin invalid ext4 image issue !!
thanks for the help !!
come on guys i know you guys have some ideas to fix that problem !
I have the same problem. help to find the solution
none yet ????
Well i finally found a firmware that has google play and all (it is vietnamese !!!)
SM-G7508Q_4.4.4_AndroidHero.tar.md5
thats the name of the file i got !!!
I flashed my phone !!!
then i factory reseted it !!!
its all fine !!!
BUT !!!

Hi,
my 7 days old lenovo vibe x s960 just got auto-upgraded to android version 4.4.2 (vibeui_v1.5_1416_3_st_s960).
the new rom dose not contains google apps at all. i've tried to install gApps via recovery, but found out to my horror that the recovery is in Chinese.
so now i'm stuck with no contacts,emails,calendar and what not, but i do have a very stupid smartphone.
as i see it, i have 2 options:
1) find a way to change the recovery to english, and head on from there, or
2) find a way to install google apps & services back to my current version, and carry on with my life
any help will be greatly appreciated !
thanks,
Nir

lenovo s960 rooting
Hi all. I have a lenovo vibex s960 and want to root through kingo root. What precautions I must take so that all works fine coz I saw in some posts that after rooting gapps don't work and phone does not function properly. Help me avoid this.
Hi all,
I've been lurking around for some years but never registered and participated to the forum, hopefully this will get me motivated to give a good hand to the community in terms of development
Having said that, I've inadvertently (soft) bricked my Vodafone Smart First 7, but could not find any thread on this relatively new phone in this forum. Is there any chance some of you knows how to get a factory image/recovery for this handset?
Bought it off Amazon and I'm still on time to return it, but wanted to do what is possible before going the hard way
Best Regards to all and thanks for accepting me in this forum

Guys please anyone with a Vodafone Smart First 7 could do a backup of the factory image? Much appreciated.

Thanks for you response. I've got a second one, but I'm still trying to get the previous one back to life. I'm not sure, because I could not yet find a proper guide on how to install a custom recovery.
My understanding is, if you manage to install a custom recovery on it, you could do a nandroid backup that could be later used for other phones.
I had soft bricked my other sf7 but even when you get into stock recovery its in a diffrent language and i dont think anyone will bother creating or porting a recovery for this as its only a £15 phone from vodafone its a very good phone for the price but not mant people will have it for development use hence no custom recovery if you find one let me know

oryginal rom with english german french ukrainian magyar and romanian languages - you'll get simlock after flashing but you can buy unlock code on ebay for under 1 GBP
Anyone interested in little digging in this recovery rom ? Like adding languages and debloating ?

I'd be interested in doing something...
I downloaded this but it seems it's all in Romanian...
I extracted a few of the apk files from the zip archive... But on my phone which is set to English they all came up in Romanian...
I have a Vodafone smart first 7, and wondered whether this might be a good way to create an update package that allowed super user/root permissions or for removing unwanted system apps.
Hello everyone,
Would anyone know if it is possible to download the overseas/international version rom/firmware for the Gome U9?
I recently purchased the phone with the international version and thought I might be able to root it and remove the default Google apps, but instead I`ve managed to install the original rom (chinese/english), which contains the Gome app store. I suppose I should have checked first what I was installing. Oh, well, no big deal.
Installing a custom recovery is proving a little difficult and I`m struggling to get the Google play store back in. It may not even be possible with this build, so if I could somehow restore it to the international version that will do for now. I`ve found the international version for the U7, but not for the U9. Shame LineageOS isn`t compatible or something else.
If there isn`t a solution, I guess I`ll just have to wait.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.
As a follow up I have used adb to install a few apps and that works fine. But when I install Google Play and Google Play Services, it just crashes on launch. So, something is causing GP to keep crashing. Once I figure that out I think I`ll be good to go.
