Hi XDA people, I recently got this ZOJI Z8 phone, by HOMTOM, and it is pretty decent, has nice specs and ****, but the ROM that cames with it is really ****ty, my only ask is if anyone here could help me to flash a custom ROM (I already have a Lineage os adaptation I've found in a Russian site), the phone itself has an option for updating via zip files, but I'd doesn't work with the ROM I got, maybe some root could help with that, but I think a custom recovery will be my way out for this ROM, thanks in advance, have a nice day!
Considerations:
-I'm Brazilian, that's why my English can look a little odd, but I understand perfectly any way you type.
-looks like the phone is Russian, so I really hasn't found anything online but this Lineage os adapt I mentioned.
-my name is Thales, Just in case.
Use the TWRP tool first
Hi Thales,
I know this thread is old, but maybe this can still be useful.
Use the TWRP tool first.
https://
unofficialtwrp.com/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-root-zoji-z8/
Then through TWRP try to push the zip file or .img
I have to warn you that I am skeptical about Lineage OS on the Zoji Z8.
Hi need a custom rom for this please..Homtom Z8. Thanks in advance. Please let me know if anyone is working on this. Cheers.V.

I bought this phone some months ago, I was excited with it because is very useful and has a good performance. I was looking for a custom ROM because stock ROM is not so pretty, I'm not a developer but I know a little bit about it, I wanna create the first ROM based in Stock ROM, just for begining. I need help for it, I know that there's many people with this phone and a lot of them know much than me, if someone want to help me or wanna learn with me about development, please contact me or write in this post.
To begin, I only extract system folder and kernel IMG from stock ROM, my problem is with the META-INF folder, because kitchen create that, but it's not useful if I don't modify updater-script file (when I try to flash it with CMW I get status 0 error). Please help me, even if you are a DEV for another Alcatel phone, maybe you know what I can do to fix error.
Great to hear somebody cooking rom for Alcatel One Touch C3 4033X!
Seems I cannot find any custom ROMs for it online, the nearest I got is a discussion on the phone albeit different model.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546705
And I found this 4.4.2 Kitkat ROM, not sure it's valid one, and dunno for which model

Also I want, but I'm not a developer, I only learn to make that, but if you want to develop a ROM I can send you boot.img and system folder. If you want to extract it by your own way, I extracted it making a backup, then I copied the backup to my PC and uncompressed system.ext4 file.

i don't have a Linux computer so can't do it and am not a Dev.

Hey,
I recently tried to remove a bit too much bloatware on my yoga hd10 tablet (B8080), and now it doesn't boot anymore.
I can still enter the recovery mode to flash a stock rom. Sadly, i don't have such a stock rom. I did find out the source is available on *link goes here, but i'm unable to paste links*
but i,for the love of god, don't know how to compile it.
It seems a pretty easy thing to do, but i really can't find out how.
any help please?
thanks in advance!
Hi,
This phone is brand new and is the WCDMA version of the Golden Warrior. Best value 4G and spec available in mu opinion.
I had the phone delivered to the UK today from China.
I can't for my life root the phone using any method. I also tried to flash the TWRP from china but no luck. Just goes to the original recovery.
It doesn't come with Gapps which is what I am trying to load.
Anyone can help to translate a rooting/recovery from this forum please? http://bbs.lenovo.com/a8
Actually I managed to flash the recovery and can now root
try flash

You have to flash the recovery twice in a row. There is root and gapps in the same forum.
You need to use Google Translate if you can't read chinese.

Can you upload the files and send us the links?
The files I am downloading from the Chinese website are corrupted.
(also if possible to give guide on the chinese TWRP, and what to do with it).
Also it will be very helpful if you could send the exact URL to the Root guide
and the exact URL for the how to install gapps guide.
Thank you.
I'll be needing this in a few weeks, I ordered one yesterday. Coming from an iPhone too, so it'll be a bit different for me, I wanted a cheap powerful 4G/LTE handset and this seemed to fit the bill quite well.
the phone ain't really that great, my piece has at least one dead pixel, shiny slippery back is just horrible (waiting to buy as soon as possible some replacement), headphones output is just horrible with constant noise/hiss not possible to listen unless you are deaf (compared to zero noise in TCL S950), brightness of display is quite weak (again compared to TCL S950) and let's not forget heavily customized Androd 4.4.2 with tons of crappy Lenovo software (unlike Coolpad F1 which has AOSP Kit Kat), but at least after root you can disable the evil Lenovo app Security which will try to make you commit suicide (btw. don't upgrade it, unless you speak Chinese, since Lenovo engineers are so amazing they can't even provide English from within the update and let's not forget horrid English localization in general and missing any other languages than Chinese and English)
here I wrote review of my new Lenovo A8 aka A806 (WCDMA/FDD-LTE) Golden Warrior bought for 111EUR (shame there is nothing available in better body with normal sound even if I would be willing to pay 20-30% extra for design and better sound) and tutorial HOW TO ROOT LENOVO A806/A8 it with links provided (I am using URL shortener service since XDA won't allow me to link my own tutorial because apparently I am spammer when I wanna help other people):

Oh, yeah and thank you so much XDA for using Recaptcha which is blocked in China, it makes posting anything useful soo much easier from within China.
I reuploaded mtk fladh tool + twrp recovery with img and scatter file to bunch of international mirrors, link to them is in my review and howto root tutorial on my blog linked in my post above. Whole ZIP package is misding only USB driver which is not rrally necessary and its on plenty of websites to dpwnload.

Thank you PeterMarkoff !!
Can you explain me in stage 1: what is "+ choose MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"? I didn't understand what it is and I didn't see this file anywhere else.
Thanks again
I am sorry but because of Recaptcha I must post from mobile (where I have free proxy only for few mins), so can't write long posts and they are full of typos, if you have questions better write on my blog.
Open MTK flash tool, change language to ENG which should there already as well in Settings/General/Download "DA DL All with checksum" should be checked. Then just choose as Download-agent MTK Allinone DA bin which is supplied together with MTK flash tool and Scatter-loading file choose alston_fddopen which is in TWRP Recovery folder. Whole process of flashing 2 times is quite straightforward, only major thing which needs to be said is that battery needs to be removed to completely shut down phone (and do this also when phone starts automatically booting after successful flashing), otherwise it didn't worked for me no matter how many times I successfuly flashed phone there always stayed original Lenovo recovery.
In this Chinese thread you have picture tutorial in first post which is selfexplanatory even in Chinese:
bbs lenovo com/a8/t402705/ (replace missing spaces with dots)
Hahah, I see the guy added also photos for Chinese TWRP for international users, since he saw my posts there. Not sure what is possible to see wihout registration to forum. Here is my screenshot how it should look after successful flashing when you can remove battery and do it for 2nd time and then after 2nd time boot into TWRP recovery.
oi57 tinypic com/2z8tix0.jpg (replace missing spaces with dots)
Btw. yesterday I already tried Xposed, but it informed me that A806 is running probably Aliyun OS (CN crap) fork of Android so it's not recommended to install Xposed to avoid bootlops and other things, which I am not missing since it's similar situation with TCL S950 my wife has, she can't run anything higher than Xposed 2.3.1 otherwise it would end up in bootloop, but at least it seem like proper Android and not some Chinese fork.
Special thank you goes out to my Slovakian friend who lives currently in China. You totally nailed it with your tutorial.
Thanks again to you Markoff :good:
a808t
A have a8 golden warrior but td-scdma version. Is td-scdma hardware related or software? Can I flash a806 firmware with a808t unit? Ty in advance
No, you CAN NOT flash A806 firmware into A808T and vice versa, they are different. But there are actually tons of A808T ROMs on Chinese websites, much more than for A806 which is not that popular option in China. You should also know that 3G and 4G in your phone will work ONLY in China, everywhere else in world you have just 2G phone even without 3G.
ic. Is there a custom recovery in english for a808t/a806? The one I saw the that site is chinese
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Im hoping that there's any kindess developer would come out with a stable cm rom for A806

Hi, recently i bought a Lenovo A316 from China.
I tried to find a custom ROM for this device, to flash with SP flash tool, but I cannot find it on all internet.
Only I have found the Stock ROM (With Chinese APPS and only English and China languages. I need Spanish).
The Stock ROM can be flashed without problems (I have made it and works)
There are a lot of upgrading ROMs in ZIP, but for this, is necessary to have CWM recovery installed.
The problem is that this device have a UBI file system and is not possible to install with MTK droid tools. (I tried but the program doesn't works with this type of file system)
The best solution will be If anybody have a custom rom (In spanish to flash with SP tools) or can port to this model other (I see there is customs ROMS of other models like A390). I also try to use the Android Kitchen but I'm newer and have not obtained any positive result.
I know that is more easy to give away this phone and buy another (my headache should cure) but I'm so pigheaded and never give up.
In this forum there are few questions about similar problems with this model but I don't see a solution at all.
Please, can somebody help me!!
Thanks
Hello everybody! I have a Stock ROM of my Huawei CHC-03. So, I have the system.img and boot.img, and I read I can create a ROM with xda kitchen (for Windows)... and I did it, but I think, my phone is not supported. I found a tutorial for do it, and I did all... But the zip didn't work. A friend helped me with the meta-inf file (I don't know if he knows a lot of this hahaha). So, please... Some body could help me?
My problem is this: The bootloader of my phone is damaged. It has CWM recovery for kitkat. I just could change the CWM to Stock, for unbrick my phone, but I can't do it, because the bootloader is damaged as I have told. So, it just has CWM recovery, so I need to create a ROM for it. There is no one Custom ROM for my phone, so I need to create one, but just a Stock ROM zip. So, I found a tutorial for create it, with the android kitchen for cygwin. But I think, my phone is not supported, and that's why the zip ROM I've created didn't work. Please some body help me. I have the system.img and boot. img already. Well all the Stock ROM, I've extracted. I even could donate some dollars (Not much, because now a dollar costs almost 20 mexican pesos, but well, I can pay a coffe or two bears hahaha). Well, thanks and hope some help.
