Hey! I'm trying to port a ROM for my device,Xiaomi Mi Note 3(jason),but all the guides I found are very old and I can't relate on them for Android 9 or up. Can anyone help me?
I am very aware that this is a hard thing to do,and even harder to maintain it,but everything has a start,right?

The Tool is here.
Use SuperR's Kitchen to unpack and repack the Android 10 rom.
The latest update added support for the Android 10.
BTW Good Luck For You ROM Porting Journey. :good:

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.

hi...please help me to update alcatel one touch magic to latest version

I recently bought a HAFURY UMAX made by Cubot and i've been trying to find a way to root it and install a custom recovery. I've tried most of the methods that I could find on google like Kingroot, etc.
I haven't been able to find anything compatible because its a pretty obscure phone.
Any help would be awesome!
No information yet
I have been searching for this since my phone arrived and there's no clue about rotting it yet. Maybe installing another ROM but I'm not into cooking ROMs yet.
root software -- Cubot max <-> Hafury Umax
You can find a rooting software for Umax here. It woks on Max and Umax (URL is without :// for I am not allowed to submit URLs)- http guideroot.net/cubot-max-download-android-8-0-o-firmware-nougat-7
Best regards
Axel
I also need root for this device. Is there any kind people who can port twrp? Any help would be most appreciated thanks

TWRP: https://www.needrom.com/category/cubot/max/
After flashing TWRP you could then install Magisk which will give you root.
Have you managed to unlock your bootloader (although it is not necessary to install TWRP using SP Flash Tool) ?
Thank you for your help however the link you posted is for a cubot Max and I need twrp for cubot hafury umax. I don't think the twrp would work for the umax? As I think they have different chips mine is MT6580 and the max is MT6753A
Tried every app for rooting with no success.
I have downloaded every app and program that claimed to root nougat devices (RootKHP too, but it's just a bad coded virus) and I haven't been lucky yet. I have also done the "manual method"(adb push and then moving those files to /system) but this phone it's not exploitable in that way either. Maybe, compilling TWRP and installing it is the key, but HAFURY doesn't give any help to do so (as usual). I sent them emails, asking for help because of the bugs and also asking for the ROM itself. No luck. They claim to be preparing an update or something that will be released in the official cubot forum... but in that forum there isn't any entry about this phone.
Looks like HAFURY will not give a damn and, probably, will shut down in a time. They KNOW that this phone works faulty ( touch-screen problems, Wi-Fi unstable), but they are not doing anything.
I will not buy another phone from them nor from a chinese manufacturer. I have learnt.
I will try to buy a One Plus One as soon as I have money.
I too sent an email asking about an update and this is the reply I received. Dear Sir/Madam,
Sorry there is no update in the near future, the schedule of it has not been connected, you can keep an eye on our forum, thanks!
So it looks like cubot don't care about there customers
There is an update ROM on cubot forum.
Now we have access to ROM an recovery maybe we cud compile twrp?
What I found so far about the Update
As Stumbag said a couple of days ago, Cubot released an update for the HAFURY UMAX. I downloaded it as soon as I found it and, first of all, don't expect nothing. The only change I noticed is the build name, everything else is like the older version. The Wifi is still unstable, the touchscreen still requires to lock and unlock for working fine when it doesn't detect the touches and still, no root for this phone. I searched for a way to root a ROM before installing it but no luck yet. Also, I extracted the system.img and I haven't found weird packages, as I said, there's nothing different from the older build. What I noticed is a weird file called "recovery_rootcheck.bin" allocated in /data/ that contains other 3 files but I cannot read them properly. Screenshots included:
The location of the file: //i.imgur.com/FW9VAKi.png
The code of the file: //i.imgur.com/mNSpCgW.png
I dumped the older ROM before installing the new, but I am not sure I have done it well but, anyway, I have the dump file.
I will keep searching a way to compile TWRP but I have zero experience on compilling so I don't think I will archieve it.
So, CUBOT has released the ROM as an Update.
Guys. I did it. I compied a TWRP Recovery for the HAFURY UMAX. It works but the stock recovery is being reinstalled after a reboot. Tomorrow I will fix it and I will write a tutorial for installing TWRP and a rooted ROM I did. It's slightly different from the stock ROM (I removed bloatware, deodexed every package, zipaligned, changed the bootanimation and a few more things for making the phone truly free). The ROM is being uploaded to my GDrive right now.
Expect a new Thread tomorrow about installing TWRP and this Custom ROM.
Well done nekuake ?
Could you point me in the right direction for the twrp? Thanks
It doesn't work yet.
It doesn't work. The TWRP I compiled doesn't recognize the phone's partitions. I'm waiting for the reply of HAFURY/CUBOT, because if they send me the device tree, it would be quite easy because I know what to do next.

They didn't give a damn. Now, I am working in other things (university and that stuff). As soon as I have time again, I will try to use another device tree and adapt it to this phone.
Also, you shouldn't have bought this phone. You will see a lot of bugs that WON'T be fixed. HAFURY/CUBOT have a ridiculous support.

They released the phone ROM while ago: forum[dot]cubot[dot]net/viewtopic.php?t=1495
You can extract the system.img and take a look inside the System partition.

I've tried to use ported 6580 TWRP 3.1.1 and TWRP from Cubot Rainbow 2, it doesn't cause any bootloop but doesn't seems to work either
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/twrp-unofficial-custom-recovery-mt6580-t3505687
https://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-3-1-0-jemmini/
Both use the same mediatech however, I have no ****ing idea how to boot in TWRP, I've tried the **cubot max (DO NOT TRY)** that used something else then MT6580 and it gave me a bootloop, soo whoever said Max equal with UMax **** him
I'm trying other TWRPs
Well, i haven't tried to compile TWRP again because Cubot/Hafury doesn't want to give me any of the files I requested (as I though). I will mirror the repo of OMNI and, well, pray a little the next time I try to compile it.
For the moment, I have tried to use any of the TWRPs there are in the Internet of similar phones. They haven't work. The phones I tried were Infinix Hot 5 and Infinix Hot 5 Lite. Please, people, try things like I'm doing and we will have TWRP and Root soon.
Hi IV tried doogee X5 and some others but haven't worked I will keep trying come on peeps we can do this
Hey so I was hoping someone could help me root my samsung galaxy s6, I know it's a super old phone but I don't think you need the new one every year. I only want a method that involves using an apk since im too lazy to use a pc. I am running 7.0 and my base band version is g920aucu6aqc1. I have been searching for a while now and none have worked so if you know of one or can make one that would be much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

Hello experts,
I own an android phone (three years old Umidigi C Note 2) running Android 7. I also have working system.img (Android 7) file for this phone too. Is it possible to unpack this system.img, take necessary components (drivers etc.) and then repack under Android 10? Is this project worth spending time on?
Cheers
Not sure if I created this question in the right category. Any guidance will be appreciated!
