Yes, it is possible. You need to follow the instructions to root your device, upload TWRP and install ROM via sideload. Read the posts and tutorials of @Rootk1t - the best advisor in this section.

Hello!
As was said above. You can sideload custom rom zip via TWRP or use USB flashdrive with OTG cable, and choose it from TWRP to install your ROM and additional files.

Hi all
I just got an UMI Cross recently and from reading about the possibility of trojans on chinese phones, the first thing I did was install a couple of different popular scanners (ESET was one of them)
The 2 scanners I tried both found trojans (UUPAY) and so what I want to do now is flash a new ROM onto the phone, I have found some new roms but now I am unsure of the best way to go about flashing the phone.
I know I need to install CWM or something similar but not sure on the best way to do this or even if its universal (in terms of installing)
So, any help is appreciated
Thanks
anyone? D:

Right, it's easy peasy , download this and plonk on your sd card http://www.needrom.com/mobile/ctr-recovery/
download mobile uncle tools and select recovery update, selecting the zip on your sd card, all done!
It says root is needed, how do I root the device?
I worked it out, found my device is rooted and put on the recovery thing and was able to get into it ! yay
But when I tried to flash the rom I downloaded it just said aborted
Not sure what rom to use either >_<
http://www.needrom.com/mobile/umi-cross-c1/
I downloaded the latest flash rom from there, does that mean I have to use Flash Tools?
Cheers

Ended up flashing a different rom and it worked fine, no more infected apps on phone yay!
If anyone runs into same issue, feel free to contact me and I will help
Now on the new rom, lookout reports contacts and phone as adware

Hi!
I am installing CM from my phone's sd card, because my laptop never show the connectivity of my phone. Maybe a cable issue, but I don't know why. Someone told me that you can not connect GT-I8552 via USB cable.
OK! I have rooted my phone, and busybox is installed. I have downloaded CM v11 for Samsung Galaxy Premier, as this was the phone having configuration closer to my phone.
So, I installed ROM Installer, and it asked me to locate the zip file on sdcard. I did that, and finally clicked the install button, and that displayed a message for reboot in recovery mode. I clicked OK! My phone rebooted, and a screen came with the logo of android. Now, there were some option like wipe all data, reboot. Installed from SD card. I choose SD card and but it says no file here.
Although it displayed me a message on the main recovery screen that Multi CSC successful.
What could be the problem here, any idea?
I'm assuming that you rooted your phone using the CWM method.
The first problem is that you should install it directly through CWM (recovery), these programs like the one you used don't work very well with your device. I don't trust them, but this is my opinion.
The second problem is that you are trying to install CM of another phone. You shouldn't do this. Seriously. Unless you are willing to get a nice paperweight to use at office...

OK! If no, what should I do then? I mean I need to update it to v4.4. Is there any legal ROM for GT- I8552 by other Custom ROM developers?

Right now there is no way you can install Kitkat, if you try then your device may hard brick, but there is a solution to it you can install custom os based on kitkat available in this forum.

Hi!
Thanks for the response. Well, yeah! I guess there is only one fine-working ROM for GT-I8552, and that is by Bionic Monkey. So I guess I will install that. But I have a USB cable connectivity issue. My laptop never show the connectivity of cell phone. Do you have any idea about that?
Does you system has "samsung usb drivers" if not please install it and then try to connect it.
Here is the link: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOB...es-15270.shtml
or you can install kies
Here is the link : http://www.samsung.com/in/support/us...tware/KIES/JSP
if this not the issue, then may be it's due to corrupted rom or drivers, try same as above uninstall drivers and kies and re-install them, if not worked may be issue with rom.
Hi well today I here that the Ulefone Power will be out in some places and its a very good battery life 4 dayds with out charging it so I want to know is their any plans for costume rom this baby as this phone is very affordable and was wondering if any one is planing this me be 64bit rom?????????????????????
Dude! I second this motion! The phone's a beast but boy does the stockrom suck.
Cant wait for some talented guys to do a custom rom for this phone. Im very happy with the hardware, only the rom is a little bit wanky.
I have had this phone for three weeks now.
It's a truly fantastic device! Hardware is good, makes great pictures and the massive battery can last me for 12 hours without changing it. Let me clarify that my Note 4 was able to stay alive without my spare 3000mAh Samsung battery for no more than 4-6 hours.
The only complaint i have with the Power is that YouTube, as well as RadioYouTube are lagging here and there. I tried few tweaks form the Developer options to reduce the lag, but not much improve was noticed.
So, a good custom ROM to eliminate the issues and make it even better would make this device a real leader in reliability and satisfacton.
i dont know but i have a feeling one 6.0 is released some custom roms should come out, no point making them yet with it coming out in the next week or two (or three with the current delays), cant wait though, getting mine today hopefully!
I would like to notice that front camera on stock android 5.1 really sucks! It's just terrible, when I flashed android 6 it's way better but still it's sharphing photos to much... In video recording there is no problem so I am 100% sure that's software problem. Hope it will get solved with some custom android 6 rom . This is just an info for future developers.
custom rom
I found custom rom on needrom. It's ported from leagoo shark. I'am using it and better than stock rom. If anyone build a custom rom, i will try.

No CM version.
I heard that Ulefone Compagny has given some devices (Ulefone Power) to ROM Developpers.
So We could maybe get some custom roms or port from another devices in a early future
Rooting uleFone Power
Hi all. As posted earlier, there are instructions on the Ulefone blog on how to root the device.
http://blog.ulefone.com/how-to-root-ulefone-power/
Here's a quick rundown. I'm also uploading all the tools I downloaded and used to my Google Drive.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzqEmGyNP_v6cWdZVU5rRnpmbDQ
If you rather get the things directly from the Ulefone Blog then do so.
DRIVERS
Based on checks, it's probably best to install the driver directly. One of the instructions given is to turn off the phone and connect it to the PC. When I did this nothing happened, and I only started to get some results when I turned on the phone while connected. At this point it flashed very quickly that there was an MTK device but drivers weren't installed. After installing the drivers on the system and doing this again, it managed to install the drivers properly. I also noticed that booting the device with VOL+/POWER gave me the option of installing the drivers also. As stated on the site - you may need to disable driver signing for Windows 8/10.
TWRP
This part is pretty straightforward. Unzip all of the files. Run the SP FLASH TOOL. Enable USB CHECKSUM in the options for SP FLASH TOOL. Locate the scatter file for TWRP and hit the download button while the phone is off. If nothing happens for you, simply turn the phone on while it's connected and the download button is already pressed. It will prevent the phone from booting and flash TWRP directly. You may go into TWRP by holding VOL+/POWER until you get the menu for normal/fastboot/recovery and select recovery. Please bear in mind that at this menu, the VOL+ cycles the options and the VOL- selects/confirms the option.
ROOT
Once you've completed the TWRP installation, start TWRP and allow modification of the system partition. Select the options to reboot into the system and then swipe to install SuperSU and root the device. That's it - you're done!
Screenshots and photos will follow.
Hey there!
Any news of a custom ROM for the ulefone power?
Hello guys!
Recently, i've got this phone mentioned above. It is a great phone, everything is okay, but i do not like EMUI a lot, i prefer AOSP to EMUI.
Are there any custom ROMs (CM, AOSP, etc) to this phone?
I've looked around on 4pda.ru about this, i found a recovery, but thats it, nothing more.
There you go, i installed this TWRP 3.0.2.0, and it works like a charm.
1: Unlock your bootloader. IT IS INDISPENSABLE! If you brick your device locked, you lost.
2: Go into fastboot (Easiest: Turn off your device, and Hold down POWER DOWN + POWER WHILE you attach the USB from the computer. The phone will go instantly into fastboot mode, it works for me)
3: Type: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
4: The phone now should download the recovery. Pull the battery out, and restart in recovery.
Download
The file is from 4PDA.ru, i have to reupload it, because 4PDA's sign up is a PAIN. A friend of mine helped me, and it took like 2 hours.
Altough, i do not know why you need the recovery other than backing up, since there are no custom rom avaiable for this phone. (Can anyone maybe port to it?)
I think, that porting Allwiev E4 Lite custom roms would be the best option, but I have weak knowledge about roms porting :crying:
There are no custom roms yet for this device.
For first you may trie to install nova launcher? It gives some feeling near to aosp.

No. The best option is to port the ROM with the same chipset (MT6735).
My best result is a Doogee X5 Pro

@snikerfreak did you find any rom for this device.
My son instaled TWRP and wiped everything trying to flash an honor 5A rom, installation failed so now phone is dead.
Do you know where to get a firmware? Can't find anything right!
All attempts to find firmware for my Dual Sim Huawei Y6 II Compact (LYO-L21) failed so I want to ask a BIG support to anyone in this thread with a TWRP recovery installed. By inexperience my teenager son wiped every partition on the phone and now we are unable to boot. It would be of great help if some one could share a twpr backup (including all partitions) to be used not only for me but for anyone as a flashable firmware.
I'm aware it would take some time, skills and dedication.
Here is how to perform it:
Backup your current phone firts with all your personal data
Do a Factory Reset
Do a second backup to be shared as a stock rom or standard firmware
Restore personal backup
Upload firmware (stock rom) backup to the cloud and share donwload link here
Is there anyone wanting to provide this?
I'll be very grateful for that
Thanks

Russian have custom ROMs in 4pda forum. It is Resurrection Remix OS 7.1.1 (unstable beta) and CyanogenMod 14.1_Android 7.1.1 (beta, camera not working). They stop work with RR_OS, but CM 14.1 is still porting.
You can help em.
links:
RR_Os port - 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=792704&st=560#entry60137872
CM 14.1 port - 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=792704&st=780#entry60547208
Also u can install ota-updates from custom recovery. Just del some strings in updater-script file into update.app \META-INF\com\google\android\ and repack its like .zip (w/o compression)
4xample strings:
assert(file_getprop(" -- it is checks firmware version and region
assert(apply_patch_check(" --- it is checks the hash sums of files the updates
I searched the whole Internet for a custom recovery for this phone and I couldn't even find any.
I know about porting a twrp, but that is hard for me since I am not really that good at coding languages and I don't really own a pc. If someone can help me to find a custom recovery (touch based) official or not please give me it
(I am new to this site, if I made a mistake making this thread tell me)

Hello jan, I need a twrp because then i can install roms and anything easier (without a pc) since it's a touch based recovery.
Also yes it is possible to install twrp without a pc, all you need is a otg cable and an another phone, by sending adb commands using the other phone it is possible.
