Been searching for how to root / flash new android onto Amoi n850, slightly obscure phone. Found a thread on it's sister phone the Amoi n828 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41322386). Would that be compatible with the n850?
Phone has a lot of bloatware and no play store, so would be nice to have a fresh ROM, if any English ones are available
Anyone have experience here?

Hey guys I am also holding an Amoi n850 on my hands now and I really don't know what to do with it. It has android 4.2.1 but it has no google play store, no maps, only some bloatware in Chinese.
Any thoughts?

Sent you a PM, I believe. Messaging is not very good, so I think I sent it a lot
I'm having trouble after installing Google Play Store, it says "No connection" all the time, is there any advice how to handle that apart from installing new ROM, MIUI for example?

For me yes, installing miui was the answer Do you need help with that?
I hope not I downloaded latest MIUI, the phone came already rooted and with installed recovery (I think it's installed because when you long press Power there is option "Reboot to Recovery"). So I will just put MIUI on SD card and flash from there, I've done it a lot of times on other mobiles like HTC Desire so i know the drill If I run into any problem, I'll write it here, tnx

Oh nice mine came unrooted and with no recovery so it was slightly harder here
Yes, it surprised me to so I immediately transfered Google apk's (Play Store, Services and Account manager) and it worked partly - I could add Google account to phone and Store, there are Sync options avalaible (calendar and contacts) but Store opens nice but won't connect no matter what...
Sounds doable but I wouldn't know how. MIUI is nice though so changing ain't bad
Well, it seems that the phone wasn't rooted to start with but the recovery installed (not CWM) was working so I finally flashed MIUI but couldn't install Gapps, after flashing they just don't appear and the MIUI is working perfectly. So, I installed Lewa OS for N850 and Play Store apk, now finally everything is working fine, Lewa is visually almost the same as MIUI so I'm very pleased.

I received my N850 yesterday
no gapps
impossible to flash a new ROM Lewa OS, or MUI (www.needrom.com) with the recovery inside
it starts and stop "Installation aborted"
i try to install new recovery with Mobile uncle tools but impossible
So i have chinese ROM, no gapps and cannot use my phone like i want.
can someone help me
pleasssssse
You have to root first, you can find how to on YouTube, search for MTK6589 root. Then put the n850 "recovery.img" from Needrom site to mSD card. After root you will have access from MobileUncle to open that recovery from mSD. Download Lewa before that and put also on mSD so now you can choose it and flash. After flash, install Google Play Store apk and Play Services apk and that's it. You can try to install MIUI the same way, but I never got gapps working, only in Lewa.
Edit: recovery inside is useless, so you have to use MIUI recovery, you don't even have to install it, just start it from mSD card from MUncle tools (after root, of course)

MIUI comes with gapps pre flashed. Drake and I have both got MIUI working perfectly.
I tried to flash that .27 latest version, MIUI installs perfectly but no gapps on phone. Then I tried older versions, they all install perfectly but still no gapps. I tried flashing just gapps after ROM install, nothing. So I gave up and installed Lewa.

I've flashed all three roms from that site on my phone, all had gapps. Same with Drake.
I see, but it didn't work in my case. Did you replace the original recovery with MIUI one or you managed to flash ROM with the original one?

I received a phone without a recovery so I used MIUI version
Mine came not rooted but with some mysterious no-name recovery installed (not CWM or similar), there was even an option "Boot to recovery" in menu. When I tried to flash MIUI through that, it stopped in the middle giving some error. So I rooted and then used MIUI recovery and flashed OK, but gapps not working.

It was rooted but bad rooted
I rooted again with Motochopper
Installed recovery with MKT tools but it is not Needrom recovery
But when i want to install a new ROM i have Status 7 error
I found Gapps here : http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
it seems to work but i must try now
But i want change the ROM to get MUI or LEWA and i have always this "status 7 error" with all the ROMS
EDIT : I install new recovery and can install LEWA rom but no MUI ROM (maybe the recovery file is not the same ?)
Will try now all.
Well, I used the (MIUI) recovery from Needrom site and was able to install both Lewa and MIUI.
To start off, my Samsung Galaxy S3 had Cyanogen Mod 12 installed on it. Without realizing it, I installed the Cyanogen Mod 13 NIGHTLY. My version of Open Gapps started spamming me with "Google Play Services will not start until Google Play Services are updated", but there was absolutely no way to update it. So, I made the mistake of trying to install the latest Cyanogen Mod 12 NIGHTLY release, and now nothing works.
Here's what's happening right now:
Can't access recovery mode
Can't access bootloader
If I let it boot, it's an endless booting symbol
I CAN access download mode
Can anybody provide me with some insight or instructions on how I can recover this? Thank you!
Flash a stock rom via odin and start over.

can you access DOWNLOAD mode to flash stock rom through odin?
I tried flashing the China ROM since the international one was having lots of problems using the simple local updates procedure since one user confirmed it worked perfectly, unfortunately it didn't work for me. It did seem to install but i'm stuck in the "Be Yourself" screen and the pictures screen as well. I can go in recovery mode but i didn't have TWRP installed. I think it wasn't a good idea since it went from Android Nougat (7.1.1) to Android Marshmallow (6.0.1)
I tried wiping all data in recovery mode but it keeps saying "wiping failed" even after i try to reboot it.
How do i fix this???
Nubia Z11

Is it possible to still flash the china marshmallow ROM after i go back to 7.1?
As the China roms of devices are banned Don the forum you will better off on the oem website.
Tried to change ROM on my Z11 to the Chinese version too .... and stuck in bootloop too
The only way to have a functionnal phone went to go back to the global rom (that hopefully I had on my computer), via Nubia recovery and OTG stick.
The error I got was that the phone was unable to mount /data and /sdcard, for unknown reason.

Since the stock roms are encrypted by default u'll have to try formatting first then u might flash the rom.
If u can unlock biotloader and flash twrp then it'll be even better for further modding.
