Hello first of all, I'm new for this thing to customize cell phones, so please be patient XD. Well, to the point.
I want to know if there is a way to convert rom files (ZIP) into firmware files (FTF). I saw some tutorials on YouTube about changing the name to the file extension, but it does not work for me, the flash tool does not recognize it.
Well, to all this, I wanted to try the new rom that was released in the development section, and for that reason I have realized that I have this problem.
PS: I could not unlock the bootloader, it tells me that my device is not allowed.
Thank you all.
Hey, anybody is there?

So, I think I know what's wrong, but I'm not sure.. I've used Odin to flash my phone. I think I flashed an Skyrocket kernel on it, which works, however the buttons down "there" don't work, what are they called?
So, I got one copy of the original kernel, but I need to make it to a .tar file, no clue how to, care to tell me?
Now, I do have one copy of my original rom, but I wouldn't mind using another one, because of all the bloatware, so can I, is it possible to flash a new rom for an other phone on my galaxy s II LTE, or do the roms need to be made for one specific phone?
that's about all I know about everything on Android, if I'm wrong at certain things, please feel free to correct me, and if you so kindly want to help, try to dumb it down to my level.
I have no clue what I'm doing.

I got the kernel, I need to convert it to tar! HOW?

Hey You can have any game in your U20i ,there is only one problem that you have ,that is were you able to play a game in your mini pro! Rooting your x10MP does not delete your sd data (but may your phone data, if you upgrade to another firmware and root, will delete phone data ).
heres the link for rooting- forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324
And another thing please go through x10MP section before asking this kind of questions!

Hey, bro!
First of all, there are no stupid questions, weŕe all learning here .
Rooting, in itself, doesnt let you play more Games/Apps.If you want to use more and especially newer apps, you will have to install a Custom ROM on your device, commonly known as flashing. A custom ROM is a is an android operating system that is different from your latest "official"(made by SonyEricsson) OS. Custom ROMs for our device are very practical, because our latest official Android version is 2.1, which doesnt support many apps. Currently, the best working custom ROMs for our Phone are the ones based on 2.3 Gingerbread.
To get the very best out of your Phone, you will have to unlock your bootloader (which is slightly risky) and flash a custom kernel, which is also part of a new Android OS(tutorials you will find in the following link).
If the procedure of unlocking your bootloader is to risky/difficult for you, there is another alternative: to flash a ROM based on your preinstalled("stock") kernel. For this you HAVE to root your phone, which doesnt have any risks and isnt difficult, install xrecovery (a program to install new ROMs) and then flash a "stock kernel based" ROM. Everything else you need to know is in this Links:
All custom ROMs and Tutorials for xrecovery:

For unlocking your bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462278
PS.: You wont lose any on your sdcard and phone if you just root your Phone. If you flash a new ROM, you will lose the data on your Phone, but not the data on your sdcard.

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.

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.
Hi,
there is a new Smartphone with MT6750T: Gigaset GS370 /GS370 Plus.
Has anybody already made/compiled a TWRP recovery for this phone?
I want to use Magisk , so I need a custom recovery to flash it?.
Thanks in advance.
I'm interested in rooting this phone too.
I just bought it for measly 55€ as they are giving you 100€ cash-back for buying it right now.
I want to root this phone (GS370, not the plus version) as well. If somebody is going to attempt it, I would be glad to hear about the results.
Hey guys! Any news regarding this topic? Do you by chance know if project treble is being used?
Any news here? I tried to find a tool to root GS370 plus but without success. Kingoroot fails, SuperOneclick does nothing and zykoroot i can't find a download
Has anyone a idea?
There's probably not much going on in terms of projects for the GS370. Gigaset also has not yet released any sources for that device.
I've been in contact with their support recently and asked them when they're going to deliver Android 8 (later this year, they're waiting for drivers by MediaTek, according to the support rep) and when they're going to release their sources. My question regarding the sources was ignored and I haven't been able to get a clear answer from them.
Yesterday, i downloaded the latest update package from the ota-update-servers (they're chinese hosted btw) via their wonderful api. The update.zip contains the usual and a scatter file which (among other things) tells at which physical adress the recovery is located at. I am going to extract the original recovery today and try to port twrp for this device.

Have you made any progress with this?
Sadly not. I don't know why, but i can't get SP Flash Tool working with this particular phone. This is vital to extract/reflash the recovery or bootloader.
More info
Please tell us more. Could You give us the files?
hello!
Can someone provide me a link where I can find the stock rom / firmware for this device?
Need to get the boot.img :/
