Hi everyone,
Hope all of you are doing great. I'm just a noob and am having a heard time to find a good informative source for customs ROMs made for Mediatek devices. I understand that people are still trying to make CM mod for Mediatek devices but I use a MT6592 device and have not found a good custom ROM for it. Can you guys suggest which ones are good for it and where can I find them?
Hello All
Just asking around, wondering if there is a unified thread or devs working with MTK socs, or Teclast based devices. I am aware of Riley Rom, and that a lot of the dev may be Asian or Chinese based from the Baidu released with Teclast based firmware/ROM.
I have a Teclast P98 4g (A8H6), I've been able to root, but trying to install a custom based ROM or CM or AOSP rom..... first I would need to get a functioning TWRP/CM recovery to work on this device.... let alone drivers for adb....which I am able to get the tablet into adb. It's just been a headache reading through all these different sites and forums for other devices, trying to find a way and tools to get it to work for my device.
I see some support for Cube T7 and T9, and Teclast T98 4g (which is almost the same exact device, different camera and clock speed) and some other similar devices with a similar SoC/chipset as this one. Just wondering if there are eyes or ears anywhere that may have more information or a dedicated thread. I've come across some German Dev sites, for Cube T9, but wondering if any know Devs here in XDA or other links with similar work that we may be able to reference.
I've also commented on this one link for the Review of my device but seems there isnt much feedback there.... not a dev thread.
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/teclast-p98-4g-updated-mtk8752-octa-t3065247
Req. Dedicated Mtk/Teclast Threads/Subforum ..... maybe possible to centralize all the info based on these Tablets , phones and chipsets and have a unified dev or tool set....
Updated thread for SP Flashtool or other similar tools for flashing/root....
to Admin and Dev..... not trying to spam or request anything otherworldly. Just asking the forum for tips, pointers.... maybe someone has answers or solutions I am looking for.... please move to where appropriate.
I can already guess the answer, but I still have to ask to be certain.
I have an A7 (2016) and I really need to port Android 9.0 Pie to it. I need a proper mostly stock rom. (basically a manufacturer rom) I haven't been able to find a phone that uses the same chipset (I doubt it exists)
Below two phones do not have the same chipset, but I am hoping they are similar enough for it to work:

https://www.phonemore.com/specs/samsung/galaxy-j7-core/sm-j701fds/
My question is, would it be possible to port from a different chipset if they are similar enough? Is there a way?
Thank you all.
Hi everyone,
After a few hiccups, I successfully rooted my Leagoo T5c, thanks to the excellent tutorial posted here. The phone works fine, thank you, but now, I'd like to know how to proceed to, say, upgrade the phone from its current Android version (7.0) to a more recent version.
Where to start?
Since this phone has a Spreadtrum/Unisoc SC9853i SoC (Intel-based), I suppose the custom ROMs and upgrade possibilities are few and far between, but I'd like to give it a shot.
I'm open to ideas, tips, tricks, voodoo moves and Santeria incantations, but I'm still a noob when it comes to Android, so please, be patient, and methodical... :good:

If you can unlock phone's boot-loader then you should be able to flash any Custom Recovery and/or Custom ROM that's suitable to 100% to phone's CPU-architecture. Who is the supplier of phone's SoC isn't of any interest at all.
Hi,
Thing is, as I said, I'm a noob when it comes to Android, so I don't want to brick my phone by trying to make it ingest a ROM that's not suitable for it.
If my phone came with a MediaTek or Qualcomm SoC, I wouldn't worry, because there are plenty of ROMs out there, custom or not, to play with, but this Spreadtrum/Unisoc SoC is a thing of its own.
It's based on Intel's Airmont architecture, and few phones or tablets use it, at least this specific version (SC9853i). Maybe I just don't understand too well how a ROM is built.

For example, I found this article where they explain how to flash LineageOS 17 (based on Android 10) on a Panasonic Eluga Ray 800 that uses the same SoC as my Leagoo T5c.
The thing is, I don't know if this is transposable to my device, though the two share the same SoC. As I said earlier, I don't want to permanently brick my phone...
@UglyStuff
The mentioned Intel Airmount SoC's instruction set architecture is x86_64 , the also mentioned Intel Spreadtrum SC9853i SoC's instruction set architecture is x86_64, too. Hence in order to upgrade yor phone's Android you need a Custom ROM compiled for x86_64 architecture. GIYF ...
OK, but since this Panasonic and my Leagoo share the same SoC, they also share the same x64 instruction set, so do I get it right if I say that the custom ROM built for the Panasonic would fit on my Leagoo, or am I missing something?
In theory it should.
OK, I guess I'll have to chance it, and use recovery in case things so south. My phone isn't compatible with Treble, according to this app. Does it mean anything in terms of installing one of the generic system images found here or not?
I have a Redmi Note 10S. It's quite a good phone but it has 0 custom roms (except a debloated MIUI). After failing to build one myself (don't blame me, I never built any rom and I never found a good tutorial to follow), I had the idea of porting a custom rom from a similar phone. After a bit of searching, I found a perfect "twin" for my phone: Oppo realme 6. It has a bunch of A11 / A12 roms, and especially everything is same: chipset (MTK6785), screen resolution, storage size, ram size, camera quality... But when I looked for tutorials about porting roms between mtk chipsets, all of the ones I found had completely different steps involved. This is very confusing, as hardbricks are deadly for mediatek devices. I need to be very cautious, so can anyone guide me with the right way of doing so ?
