Hello everyone !
I've ordered a Gionee W800 for my wife, and this clamshell smartphone was delivered with a chinese/english ROM.
This ROM did not include the Google services (no Google Contacts sync, and no playstore)
So i rooted it, and i tried some ways to include what i needs but i made some errors, and i removed many files that was importants.
AND, the real problem: i did not make a backup of the original ROM...
So now, the ROM is very unstable, the camera does not works anymore...
Does anyone have the original ROM for this device please ?
I'm stuck and i'm afraid to have a "brick" for the end of the life of ths device...
Help...
please help
am i the only one to own this phone ?
if someone can provide me this ROM, i'm ready to reward him
a little help...
am i the only one that ordered this phone ?
Hi,
my 7 days old lenovo vibe x s960 just got auto-upgraded to android version 4.4.2 (vibeui_v1.5_1416_3_st_s960).
the new rom dose not contains google apps at all. i've tried to install gApps via recovery, but found out to my horror that the recovery is in Chinese.
so now i'm stuck with no contacts,emails,calendar and what not, but i do have a very stupid smartphone.
as i see it, i have 2 options:
1) find a way to change the recovery to english, and head on from there, or
2) find a way to install google apps & services back to my current version, and carry on with my life
any help will be greatly appreciated !
thanks,
Nir

Hey
I have recently bought a Lenovo A1000-F.
It runs Android 4.1.2.
I have hope it will be easy to install a 4.4 ROM, but I have not time to check it before I buy it because it was a Black Friday offer.
Now I have been looking around on Google and here but I can't find one.
I hope some here can help me - also with the installation because I new to this.
Thanks for your help
Sorry if there is some error in my text.

Hello everyone
So recently I was lucky to find an unoffical greek kitkat 4.4.2 update for my Alcatel one touch idol 2 mini s.I found this on a russian site which I translated and downloaded.I recovered it with TWRP.When it was done I rebooted the device it started up and it showed the greek comsmofone boot animation.After that it booted up and I was happy because the only kitkat update I managed to find finally worked.Unfortunatly this hapiness was short when I stumbled upon a error when I was customizing my phone settings.I preesed the lock screen option to change my lock screen and it crashed.I said it's okey I don't need a lock screen that bad.After that I went to security so I can check the allow download from unknown sorces so I can download some cool apps for the phone because I also rooted it with Supersu.And yet again my settings crashed,well this was scary.I got the update it was awesome, great features and just plain great to get the freaking long waited update for kitkat which I just found and it wasn't offical,but not having this option to download from unknown sorces makes this a lot more boring,annoying and dumb.So let me just wrap it up xD...if you have and idea on fixing this issues please help i will be very gratefull.And also im new on the xda forums and a newbe :3 sry if it was a long story xD
I wanted to put links on the update site and on the phone site but I cant because of spam reasons and beeing a new user to xda,so the update was located on a russian site callec 4pda at the alcatel one touch idol 2 mini s .... Model 6036Y forum.
And I wanted to post a link of gsm arena for the full specs of the phone but can't
So the important thing is that i have the 6036Y model.
And the error is that when I click security,my settings crashes and it shows the options close or report I tried rebooting and still not working.
Hi all. First of all i would just like to say that i very much appreciate all you guys do here, helping us noobs flash, upgrade and unbrick our phones
I have a rebranded inew V7 phone called NOA H4 in my country. I'm pleased with the phone. It's nicely built, robust, has plenty of storage, dual sim, ... One thing i miss is the led notification. But i can live with that.
Recently i got fed up with it's software, Android 4.4.2 and i started to look how i can change it. I found some guides and tried but no luck. I was only lucky not to brick my phone
I have some questions:
1. Is it at all possible to flash this phone so it has Android 5 (or 6)??
2. Are the Android 5 roms i found on the web real Android 5 or a modified Android 4?
3. If 1. and 2. are yes, will this http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-port-lollipop-based-roms-t3223938 help me to do this by myself??
4. Is there someone who already did this and is willing to share :highfive: ( i found that some member "did this" but he has not given a link to download the rom thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/inew-v7-owners-thread-t3036891/page3)
Ty very much.
No one? :crying:
