Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I check what firmware/Android version I have?
A: 1. Go to phone "Settings -> About -> Software information.
2. There you'll see Build number, it will be like this: "LRX21V_ASUS_T00J_TW_user_3.23.40.52>20150522_91".
Q: What do letters WW and TW mean in the name of firmware/OS?
A: This letters stand for region markets:
CN - China, comes without Google services (Even without Play Store)
CHT - The same, but for a particular Chinese operator
CUCC - Firmware form Chinese operator Unicom
TW - Taiwan, comes with Google services, but also has Chinese apps
WW - aka World Wide, International and our home.
Q: What's the difference between T00J and T00F? What's the difference between A500CG and A501CG? What kind of firmware/OS should i download?
A: T00F=A500CG. Intel Atom Z2580 CPU (2GHz). 2 GB RAM. Full Specs.
T00J=A501CG. Intel Atom Z2560 CPU (1,6GHz). 1 or 2 GB RAM.
On January 2015 one more version was rolled out, named A501 CG with Intel Atom Z2520 (1,2GHz) and 2 GB2 RAM. Full Specs.
This way, except the difference in CPU models, amounts of RAM and flash memory - those three devices are identical. Firmware/OS for all three is same. On the official web page links to the firmware are the same.
Q: How can I find out exactly what kind of processor I have?
A: Download AnTuTu Tester from Google Play for free, it will show you all information about device.
Q: My Android firmware is version "X". Is it the latest? So, which one is latest then? Where can I download them?
A: Links for all firmwares are in the Post #3. The ones on the top are the latest.
Q: What are OTA updates / Over The Air updates?
A: This is small update that vendors usually push over air, device asks you whether download/install it or not.
Updates like that do not usually wipe system partition, it only patches certain files - updating them to the latest version.
They also leave root and Xposed Framework intact. Therefore none of those has problems with the installation of such updates.

Firmwares
Android 5.0:
To update to 5.0, you need to have 2.22.40.53 installed or later.
3.24.40.78-user WW
Android L (3.23.40.60) WW​
Android 4.4.2:
To update to 4.2.2, you need to have 1_18_40_10 installed or later.
WW_2.22.40.54
TW_2.22.40.54​

What unlock code do you mean?

I was wondering which ROM would be the best - Stock Lollipop or ResurrectionRemix or some other..
I like the lollipop UI and would like to install CM12.1 based ROM but almost all the ROMs have GPS, FM, Airplane mod and audio issues along with slight stability issues..
The stock lollipop on the other hand seems to have battery issues and many features seems to have been removed..
What ROM do you use and which ROM would be best?

Resurrection Remix is pretty good actually. I was using it for 1 month and it doesn't have many bugs

I am having freezing issue after unlock bootloader. Having zenfone 5 a501cg 1.2ghz. I tried all of methods on posted internet. So please if u can help me in this issue. Thank you

[HELP] Random Freeze (cannot relock bootloader)
My zenfone condition [now] :
- type : A500CG
- rooted
- IFWI version 59.a1 (unlocked bootloader)
- ROM : ww-3.23.40.60
- white boot asus logo (unlocked official bootloader from asus apk)
i know that the unlocked bootloader will cause a random freeze (unfortunately i get the device with that different motherboard than other, some site said that asus shipping more than 1 kind of A500CG) the other device is okay with unlocked bootloader, and another is cause random freeze)
. The problem was my phone got freeze (before unlocking bootloader) and i suspect the cache / dalvik cache need to be cleared, so i just unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, wipe dalvik cache, and relock it.
but when i relock it, the ifwi version still same , 59.a1
and this is the final decision, i want to full flash my phone,
i already do flash fastboot, boot, recovery, dnx, and ifwi from my ROM , but the ifwi version still 59.a1 (it's wrong version right?)
so i don't know why the ifwi version didn't change, the flashing process is ok, no error
and now i try flash the rom got the random freeze when flashing using adb sideload, cause the phone freeze at random progress :crying:
please help relock it :crying: i'm very desperate with my phone
Thank you

MIUI General FAQ
Q: How do I root this?
A: Enable root in the perm manager, which can be found in the security folder.

A: Load the Phone, dial *#*#4636#*#*, goto Phone information, Set preferred network type to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL).
Q: Help! Phone/SystemUI/Keyboard Isn't working/Is Force Closing!
A: Make sure to do a completely clean wipe, also I'm not sure how well this will work if flashed in CWM.

A: Settings -> Advanced -> User agent string -> MiOne (It Renders much better & more naturally!)
Q: My Filesystems won't mount/My PC can't see my device/My phone won't act as a MTP/USB Mounting isn't working!

I'm source building for the entire Moto device tree, each source build takes about 3-4 hours, so I have roughly 40ish hours of source building for 12 devices to do before this is completed.
Honestly though since this thread got a reply first I'll play favorites and finish this before everything else
Thank you very much !

@Tquetski Thank you very much for your efforts. You mentioned in the header of your post "All languages", does this mean the Chinese & English like default or did you manage to include further translations? If so, which?
the thread says "Droid Razr", does this mean there will be only XT912 version? Do you plan releasing a version for umts_spyder (XT910)?
Thanks!

My MIUI releases are international and include every avail language, in 2-3 hours I should be done with MIUI for this device.
I just finished my 'code test' for XT926, and have begun building for this device.**edit: As soon as building for already supported phones are done this is next
To be clear I don't care who is releasing MIUI for this phone, I'm doing this for 'completion' purposes and not to be in competition, It's my goal to fork MIUI to every device I can in bulk atm; I'm fine with people using the CM base I'm building for their own MIUI projects on this device as well, It's not about money or territory just fun
Um, this may be a little off topic but since the other MIUI thread is closed, I dunno where else to ask. I am trying to install the official santajin port of 4.2.7. So I am on clean 4.1.2 en.eu OTA. I factory reset erasing my internal storage. On the 2nd boot, after the android guy, I go into SS. I made a 1G/4G/1G slot 1 in SS, the maximum size. I installed MIUI 4.2.7. I clean cache/davlik. I reboot into system without installing gapps yet. That seems to be as clean as an install as I can think of. After going through the setup phase, I have about 70M/1G free and it goes down fast without doing anything. It's so slow it's basically unusable. I reboot again, same thing. Is this normal? This seems like I shouldn't even think of opening the default MIUI apps, forget installing my own stuff... I tried miuiandroid's version of 4.2.7 and it was the same. Oh BTW my device was asiaretail. What am I doing wrong here? This can't be what everyone is using...
Is this ROM cm based smali ported? Or offical 4.1 based?

I've already build CM10.1 for this device with source edits to accommodate MIUI's gfx and using that source base patched MIUI to it.
I can update this as MiCode updates their builds internally; as of right now the only thing standing in my way is your phones kernel, which is a little different than what I have experience with.
Even if I don't finish MIUI for this phone which may happen depending on how things play out with the kernel, I'll have still finished a suitable CM10.1 base for it that anyone can consider using for MIUI, Lewa, Color OS which would normally have severe GFX issues otherwise.
The XT925, XT926, XT907, XT897, XT897c, MB886, AtrixHD didn't have functional MIUI for a while even though the thread existed on XDA, It's a development site and since I've started this project I'm starting a thread for it, now I can push weekly updates to those devices on a solid CM base.
Truth be told I didn't like some of the posters who frequented one of my device forums and so I ignored the phone completely for uh.. a really long time.
I'm really not above being a dickhead too. Especially when you consider I'm just some guy not someone making a living off of this.
There you go dummy, I included a 'best of' because I know your attention span is real short
Edit: Project update for everyone else, everything beside the kernel is done. If I have to use your stock kernel I'll have to employ other options.
My friend kernel has always been a problem for us. For example we have only kexec kernel option and that didn't allow us to use our full hd camera till 4.4.2. With that I mean it would be maybe easier for u to build the miui with 4.4.2 which has a good functioning kernel with full hd video. But I dunno if it's possible. Just saying

Hi. Answer:
1. it is safe to flash because this chinese ROM i uploaded is flashing with Flash Tool and flash tool will erase your existing ROM. Now because you say that your phone is 8Gb you must find a KK or JB stock ROM for your phone and update till KK last version. What i uploaded is for 4Gb phones.
2. because your phone is made in 03.2014 you must use the new preloader. You will find here. Replace the original preloader with this one and will work.
3. internal memory will be default.

Hi. Try to update to the last firmware 7.3. After update, tell me if its still doing that!
Sorry for my silly question before. Now I try to flash with VIBEUI_V2.0_1437_7.14.1_ST.zip. It's fine on my 8GB and I found it already have TWRP. I wipe data, cache, system, and dalvik cache and install alice project 7.0 is fine. Then I flash 7.4 over it again and now trying to use it.
tested this rom,
- 7.0 works, dual-sim ok, patches flashed.
- after installing updates got bootloop
- patch 7.3 broken on your google drive
- patch 7.5 availible over alice homepage
- ota / online update not working with version 7.0
- missing standard mail app & couldn´t set up EAS.
- terrible flow-in animations IMHO
- Magnetic Sensor not working with 7.0
- setup with german language - nice
i think i try anoter one
Problem with AdAway
I have problem when apply AdAway on my P780 8GB (with Alice project 7.5). I check /system/etc/hosts file and found it reset after I manual reboot the phone and configure of URLs that apply by AdAway (in the hosts file) was disappear.
I try to search and found same issue on other phone too. I'm not sure it is problem on 4.4+ or it have write protect in /system partition on this ROM.
what about reborn or cyanogen mod?
I find it interesting that the alice homepage includes links for a newer version of the rom (Alice Reborn v8.0) or for a custom cyanogenmod.
When in the site, go to Download > Firmware Itself > Lenovo p780 and you will find a link for Alice Reborn.
Under Download > Cyanogen Mod 11 > P780, there is the corresponding link for the custom cyanogenmod.
 @stympy: Any reasons why you listed the v7 links in this forum and not the other ones?
Has anyone tried luck with these other versions?

You are using a rom that is not meant for our phone. So performance and compatibility issues will be there. Flashing the stock rom with ota solves the camera problem for me. I've tried many custom ROMs, vibe, miui, etc. But they all have max camera resolution of 13 mp. Only stock rom gives full 16mp.
Thanks for reply bro
also someone uploaded material rom for octane plus. should i go for it or wait for sometime as you told that you will cook cynogenmod 11 for this device
Sure, give it a try. CM will take time, as the p5000 source hasn't been released yet. But I will eventually build a cm11 android 4.4.4 rom for this phone.
i also wanted to built a rom, can you assist me?
plz? i also wanted to help people by build a fantastic rom.
Sure. What help you need?
That ota img will work on my custom rom?
Sent from my Nibiru H1 using XDA Free mobile app
Don't know. These OTAs contain incremental patches that are not supposed to run on custom ROMs. But it might still work. Make a nandroid backup before trying.
What exactly ota stands for?i think its just for update stuffs.
Sent from my Nibiru H1 using XDA Free mobile app
OTA stands for 'over the air'. Yes, its for updating.
Are there any custom ROMs for this device ? And is any recovery built ?
Even I wanna know

Even I want to know if any recovery has been ported to this device .
@incogno, @revolutionyzer
Yes, I just recently ported twrp 2.8.2.0 recovery from stock source. Also managed to find old twrp 2.7.0.0, CWM and Carliv. Links are in the second post. I Will work on my own ports of Carliv and CWM later. I'm thinking of starting a new thread for recoveries. For now, twrp 2.8.2.0 source code for those who are interested in further development - HERE.
As for custom ROMs, sadly there are no custom ROMs available for "Octane Plus". But there are lots of roms available for Chinese phones that are rebrands of octane Plus. These roms work just fine, but few bugs. Most will have max camra resolution of 13 mp. Stock rom has 16 mp resolution. Links for these roms -

I have buy one too from geekbuying
Near the 10 Sept i will have it
I'm thinking about getting this phone (the 5" version) too. If you have any interesting findings or even would be willing to write a review, please share it here.
I had a lot of problems with Chinese phones and compass, please check it too. I believe the GPS will be OK. And usually the rest used to be good at Zopo except of SW.

I had purchased in order to pre Zopo Italy, last month.
For now I have installed a firmware upgrade (OTA)
Imported address book, and various data from the old device, installed apps that I use often with my tablet.
It is used today, without noticing any particular problem.
It has good overall speed, and a good camera.
Obviously for me it was a big jump, because I just left an old Nokia C6.
Thanks to karl, we already have a working Meizu Flyme OS for Speed 7/ Speed 7 Plus

The Redmi 6a comes with Android 8.1.0 right out of the box. What is the likelihood of it getting an official LineageOS 15.1 build via a GSI without much trouble? In theory, treble should allow this to be relatively straightforward, but I am yet to see much of this since it is such a new concept.
Edit: Wrong link

Redmi 6A is not working after flashing TWRP
I've been trying to flash global version rom 10.2.2.0 OCBMIXM of Redmi 6A from TWRP, therefore I tried flashing TWRP 3.2.3 first. After it's done, I booted to TWRP and tried to flash the rom and Magisk app. TWRP asked password for decrypting data but I selected No since there isn't any password. Then the error Unable to mount storage occurred and I could not flash anything. I tried some ways I found and all of them failed to finish with following errors: Factory reset (Unable to mount storage), Repair File System (Unable to repair Data (ERROR:8)), Change File System (Unable to mount storage). Now I'm unable to reboot to system anymore (always boot to TWRP). What should I do now?
