Beloved community. I need your help.
Scenario: The Wiko FIZZ of my GF stopped working out of the blue. Several searches online found me some threads with frustrated users.
What i think i could do: Reboot to recovery --> Wipe data --> all good. -->WASN'T!!
So i started looking for a factory image i could flash. Apparently Wiko has oneclicktools for almost all of their smartphones to get them back to factory state. Not so for the FIZZ. I came across a collection of Factory images and again, the FIZZ was missing.
So i came across this site: http://www.wikogeek.com/
They provide source code to everybody who wants to do developement with his WIKO.
My final questions to you:
1. This is only the source for the Kernel or am i wrong?
2. Can i build the kernel according to all the nice guides out here or do i have to care about something special? (recommending a specific guide?)
3. Once i got my Kernel ready. Could i take any ROM, made for MT6572-Devices and get the FIZZ running again?
4. Is there anything else i should try before messing with such stuff in order to get the FIZZ running again?
Thank you much
The stock firmware is finally available

Hello, pls i will really appreciate if i can get a custom rom for wiko fizz android
NEED HELP
Hello guys, I'm working on a generic tree for our beloved device Honor 7, but not getting enough success, so each and every of you are invited to help me create a new device tree for AOSP 5.1 ROM or CM 12.1, so that we can taste the Stock Android too.
The benefits of these ROMs are that the device will get more fast and stable as there will be minimum apps and bloatwares installed.
So, it is a humble request, that whosoever have any knowledge about creating a tree from scratch please help me.
I have created a skeleton of the tree but it is not a success too as there are many things we still have to consider.
@sminki and @kenshiwara, we will setup an organization on GitHub so everyone can contribute there only.
Hi,
It will be wonderfull to have CM on our honor7.
Sorry mate. You haven't seen my troubles over the last few weeks then
After my H7 'died', I got a warranty replacement phone, and unlocking was proving impossible, each day was bringing more frustration and anger so i've sold it!
That's it, i'm out of the "honor" business for good (hence the "unsupported" bit on the recovery and kernel threads), but as a parting "gift", here's a few things that may help "the cause".
Sorry, the length of this post got out of control! :silly:
device tree starting point:
https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_huawei_p8 - it's similar enough, that with a little editing and boom, we had our recovery*
https://github.com/debbiche/android_device_huawei_p8 - another fuller "tree" (wip), again the p8 is similar enough to use as a base
https://github.com/Gibbon99/android_device_huawei_hwgemini - mediapad x2 - another kirin
if you're insane, you could get the dtb files (iirc - i got these from compiling the source) and decompile, but this contains EVERYTHING, theses files are huge, many hundred kb and would take days to get the info out you need (if there is any!)
cm
have a look at codeworkx H6 git, it's the closest device you'll find that has CM actually running on it, albeit CM11 (and abandoned!)
https://github.com/codeworkx/proprietary_vendor_huawei
https://github.com/codeworkx/android_device_huawei_h60-common
other things:
osm0sis' kitchen out of the many boot image unpack/repack tools, this worked the best with huawei boot/recovery images
* with this in mind, anyone running Linux can pull apart my recovery, fix the issues in default.prop, add extra partitions to fstab and repack it. then post it for everyone else to use.
with the sh!tty way fastboot is on these phones, and the way modem binaries get patched, you're going to have to look for a way to write these in recovery (scripted with dd i imagine) so that everyone can use without having the ballache that is B100,B121,B140 etc etc to get to a version that will work with your ROM. this for me is where it's all going to hurt! (and end with bricks!)
final thing - the kernel source is terrible, it is so far removed from AOSP that simple things that you could normally just drop in, like cpu governors won't work. unless you really know C++ and how to debug it's gonna be near stock (like mine funnily enough!)
Good luck chaps :good: it's gonna be a hell of a ride!

Thanks, this will help enough and I was not aware of your troubles
I got a device tree working with CM12.1 and USB debugging, but Mali was a showstopper. Now I'm fighting with CM13 instead... Generally, the B313 ROM is far less hacky, but we lose the open source kernel for a while until they release one.
I will set up a GitHub tree with what I have when I get CM13 compiling again, however keep in mind that you need to patch the boot.img manually to use the closed-source B313 kernel until Huawei releases the source for that, which probably won't happen at the very least until it's fully in OTA. I'd love some help from someone who is more experienced, especially with the Mali drivers which are the worst of pains.
EDIT: I got CM13 compiling again. Let's hope for the best.
EDIT2: Mali works! Sadly, that currently depends on Huawei's libgui.so which brings in a huge chunk of Huawei's patched libraries - otherwise, it segfaults in strange places. Any ideas?

Since it has been a while that any Info came out of this thread I have to ask.. Is anyone still working the tree?
I normaly do not ask for etas but in this case it would be useful if the thread is abandoned that we could know the reasons and Problems so maybe someone else could join in with a different approach

Please, will someone with a proper kit dump the ROM? I, uh... over-rooted mine. But all is not lost! I still can get to recovery mode and it has flashing options! (With device in OFF state, hold VOL. UP + POWER + HOME. Navigate to RECOVERY MODE with VOL. UP, then VOL. DN to select. The green "sick Android" logo with a "!" appears. Press VOL. UP + POWER for approx. 5 seconds, then release both simultaneously. This should display all the recovery options.) We would be eternally grateful, and I promise lots of :good:'s! Because really, let's be honest: we're all here because we want one of those nifty "SENIOR MEMBER" badges. When I get one, I'm gonna have it tatooed on my arm. (Everyone knows chicks dig rooting skills.) In the meantime, I'll be trying to learn how to compile the source code from the link another member posted above...
Hey you guys... Really need this too... any progress?
Any news???
i have it but? how do y get it out of the phone
help do that and there y will have it
thanks mark
I'm a little concerned with the compile effort after carefully reading ZTE's Open-Source policies... It seems the "ROM" download for the Z820 found on their website contains only the open-source portions of the firmware. Not only am I having difficulty getting a "good" download with my backwoods Internet connection (3 attempts-all bad,) I'm afraid after compiling that I'll only have a partial OS ROM. Does anyone skilled (read: not a junior member like me) know if there's proprietary first or third party code in most OEM stock ROM's? If so, would those portions be available online to download and place in the proper partitions? ZTE's very specific wording spooked me... I mean, I ain't scared to give 'er a go as-is, but I'm curious. The thing's just collecting dust now...

Now I'm curious. I might have the ability to grab this little device. Let me have a look at the source code first, get my bearings, and I'll see what I can find. I've got a lot going on, so I might need a reminder or two... Hope you guys like android forums though, that's where I tend to linger

Right, so I just found the sources. Downloading both the TMO and MPCS sources and will diff them tomorrow. That being said; they have only released the kernel source. Which is AMAZING considering, but not everything for a ROM. With this, I could make a custom ROM, figure out root (bootloader is covered luckily), and more! What I'm saying is; I'll give it a shot. I'll update this thread with developments as they come
I need this also!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!! LOL THANK YOU!

Just to keep you guys informed; I tried downloading both of the sources and couldn't get their tar.gz to extract completely in Linux - meaning we're totally stuck and that's it.
Kidding.
E-mailed the guys over there and after a few days they finally got back to me letting me know the site was down for maintenance and to try again in a few days. Doesn't sound too promising, sure, but at least we know that we don't have to post a formal legal request like the guys over at the Fire Phone threads had to do. I'll get that source for ya.

FYI I already have a CWM Recovery compiled and ready to go for this device however thanks to Securelock and the 101 error any attempts at flashing via dd and no access to fastboot (tried zero'ing out the recovery partition to try to force bootloader) there is no way currently to flash to the device... I've already got a CM 12.1 build ported over also... Gonna work on a custom kernel next but only if we can get past this Securelock issue
I may be a junior member but trust I am a seasoned developer and have worked on roms such as the CM 10 port for the LG Optimus and F3 / F6.
BBQ Linux all the way!

We're fortunate to have your expertise, zerolath! That's why I love XDA! This thing's driving me nuts! It's the only 64-bit device I have until my Raspberry Pi 3 arrives, and I hate that I was careless and didn't back it up first! Rookie error. But I have learned: my LG Leon is backed up and well rooted! I had the same issue as crutchcorn did with the kernel source code DL. Got a unexpected zero bit at #### error with multiple DL's. I'm not experienced enough to attempt flashing just the kernel anyway. I hope there's a way around the SecureLock protection!
Back-up EVERYTHING. Compulsively! ?

PLEASE, DO NOT ANSWER TO THIS THREAD ASKING FOR ETAS, DISCUSSION AND IDEAS ALIKE ARE WELCOMEHey guys, I think we should start thinking about the G531F model, which does not have anything except TWRP. I am thinking about building CM12.1 for this phone, there are some limitations tho, we don't have enough sources.
What we do currently have:
-a device tree for building TWRP for Android 5.1 (probably incomplete and not suitable for building CM) https://github.com/dadziokPL/android_device_samsung_grandprimevelte
-kernel source from Samsung for Android 5.1 (I could not build it, faced several errors) https://github.com/dadziokPL/android_kernel_samsung_grandprimevelte
-some vendor stuff from Samsung and Marvell(the CPU manufacturer) http://opensource.samsung.com/
What do we need:
-a proper, fixed device tree
-fixed kernel source
-proper vendor files and proprietary blobs
I also got an unpacked stock ROM for this phone.
I am not very advanced in this stuff, I basically only know how to build ROMs, that's it. I need experienced developers to help me with this device. I have a plenty of time, a fast connection, a beefy PC and a secondary phone in case the Grand Prime gets bricked, so I can build and test.

Nah, I can do it by myself, I need someone to prepare all the code needed to build and fix any bugs, at this moment there's no chance for a successful build
Excuse me for this little off-topic, but it has TWRP with at least 1 bug reported by me at GitHub. Since this model has no maintainer, it would be nice to have this bug fixed. I know this has nothing to do with your post, but if you're a programmer, maybe you can do something... Thanks in advance.

I made a different thread in this forum, but it could be appropriate here. It's about making a ROM for one g530 variant work with another variant.
I am considering purchasing a Galaxy Grand Prime and the most likely model that I would purchase would be the SM-G530p or SM-G530t. While doing my research on this platform before purchasing I cannot help but notice that the majority of development and ROM releases overwhelmingly support the SM-G530h or SM-G531h.
What exactly is required to get an "H" ROM working on a "T" or "P" model? I am not exactly a noob when it comes to building android ROMs (I am a dev on androidforums.com and very active on freaktab) so your reply doesn't have to be too dumbed down. I am just unfamiliar with this platform. I have a sprint galaxy s4 (SPH-L720), however it seems like the ROM support is better for the various S4 than the various Grand Primes and this hasn't been an issue so far with my s4.
Would it not be possible to take any Grand Prime ROM (ex: an S7 ROM based on 5.1.1 ported for G530H), replace the kernel and supporting files with the 5.1.1 kernel including root for the G530P, flash it to the device, and have a functional ROM?
In general when flashing a custom ROM we won't be flashing the modem or radio partitions, correct? So as long as the android userland version matches the android version that the kernel is built for, and that kernel supports the installed baseband/radio/modem then won't this result in a functioning ROM?
Please let me know if I am incorrect, and if so where is the flaw in my logic!
Cheers and Thanks!!!
Hello all, where would I start in making a working twrp for this phone?
Does anyone know if Motorola has released the device tree/source code for this phone so we can make the roms? LineageOS would be ideal.
Well, I have the same phone. Couldn't find ROMs for it.

look in this forum here, there are a couple floating around for it, I've made one, that I was able to fully flash to mine and has touch (Android 10. there's another that is 11 on here too by another poster), but as there are multiple display options out there it seems for how they were made, that is the sticking point, as not all will behave properly when booted into a recovery like mode it seems. I have tried installing it over bootloader and it will have touch then, but when flashed to recovery the touch never activates properly. So it all likely comes to that, as we'll need combine them in, properly applying proper checks for each display type and having it use the proper driver files, since can't load them all at once or it breaks things.

First place to start: twrpdtgen
Read the "readme"
Also check out:
[DEV]How to compile TWRP touch recovery
Device tree made from A10. Should still be relevant for A11.
Kernel for A10. Unfortunately I don't think Moto released the one for A11 yet. You can ask on their GitHub and devs might consider your request.
TWRP for A11. Touch is working.
Edit : here's a link for the device tree (in text) from A11
maybe this will work

maybe this will help probably https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm
UPDATE: I have a telegram account where we are discussing how to make a custom lineage OS. I'm at the gathering stage and in the process of porting a device tree. For starters I want to start with lineage OS 18 because its the same android version the stock OS is, to be on the safe side, and that I've never done ROMS before.
Moto G Power 2021
I now have a device tree with the help of AOSPdtgen from the stock ROM from mirrors.lolinet: https://github.com/thebestofall007/android_device_motorola_borneo
I have started the build and got the first error:

I've looked this error up and they say it's because of the ram, but the error recurs at the same point. I have 16gb of swap, too.

The error turned out to be entries in the proprietary-files.text file that needed to be deleted.
@thebestofall007 If you'll suceed. please take in consideration to build \e\ (aka deGoogled Lineage) too.
Here's a couple of interesting links that may help:
https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/build-e
https://community.e.foundation/t/howto-building-e-roms-a-beginners-guide/26371
Last but not least, we've also suggested them (check here) to setup a "build (V)Machine" by modding this colab notebook to made it device agnostic:
https://github.com/viam1-dev/colab_lineage_build
Hope can "inspire" you.
Thanks in advance.
Does anyone have a complete list of sources so far? I have some experience in the past building ROMs for Android 5 and I wouldn't mind trying. I have a lot of computer resources to dedicate to building as well.
Device tree: https://github.com/thebestofall007/android_device_motorola_borneo-old
Does anyone know if there is a kernel source? I looked on the Moto github and couldn't find one. Is everyone using prebuilt for the time being? Also, do we need a vendor tree?
Thanks
