Star A101 - Rooting - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I got a Star A101 (China) dual-SIM phone recently and I have been playing with it. I have just rooted it using SuperOneClick. Though, I couldn't get Droidwall to work because of some ipatables issue. I can get some other stuff on it.
Let me know if anyone needs help with it.
Also, if someone has successfully flashed it with any of the better custom ROMs, please post information.

[Q] Sim Free Unlocking for DHD

Hi,
I've had a look through the threads already and couldn't find anything that would've been of any use to me.
Anyways, I'm getting a DHD from my brother soon seeing as he's getting a contract upgrade in the next month but the problem si that it's locked on 3 and i'm on T-Mobile.
So, I was wondering, is there a simple and easy way to unlock the phone myself? The Samsung Galaxy S2 has an app that will generate an unlock code for it but I couldn't find anything similar for the DHD.
Would really appreciate the help
Thanks

Hi, and welcome to XDA.
There is a tool to SimUnlock your handset, you can find it here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9524174#post9524174
However, if the handset came with Gingerbread (2.3) then there is a chance that it can jam up your HBOOT and cause booting issues. However it is recoverable, so it might be worth running the SimUnlock then restoring your handset.
Hi,
Thanks for the help, i'll give it a shot when i can. The phone came with Android 2.2 and was then upgraded to Android 2.3 when it was released. Will this affect it?

No, that is good. You will need to downgrade to use this tool though.
Once that is done you shouldn't have any issues. Feel free to PM me if you need further help, or just post here.

Panasonic T44

I'm not a noob when it comes to this stuff. I've rooted phones before with rooting programs and applications.
I recently got my hands on a Panasonic T44 and the fact that i can't use the root apps that I used on my old phone is driving me crazy.....
A bit of expert help here would be gladly appreciated....
If that's not possible, could anyone please tell me if there are custom roms that i can flash into this???
P.S. :- I'm new to forums, please don't think that i'm being rude or anything.......

Questions about the GT-S5363

I found a GT-S5363 for cheap at a local market so I picked it up and the seller told me it it a Galaxy S so I bought it because I want this phone so much. But what I found out later it isn't it is a phone on O2. So I searched around this forum and only found ones from 2014 and 2013 but I want those themed Android N on CM 8. They said that ROMs on GT-S5360 works on the GT-S5363 but I don't know newer ROMs will work on that device. So here's my questions:
1. Can I install newer ROMs?
2. How's running?
3. Will it brick your device?
Honestly, I don't have much experience with this era of Samsung devices, I started exploring Samsung stuff starting with the S5 that is toasted by now. I do have a S2 that I still don't have time to fix yet so I don't really have an idea of how old Odin work please help me.
I have the same model. It has absolutely the same hardware as the normal GT-5360. The only difference is the home button and the battery cover, which means all Roms for the normal version should work on this phone as well.
BUT: I tried to install some Custom Roms I found here and it didn´t work. It might be that I´ve done a mistake, but if I was you, I would be careful and ask the developers for their help BEFORE you start.
Good luck!

Custom rom for Vivo Z3 V1813BA?

Hi, funtouchOS on my vivo is really starting to annoy me, and after looking online there doesnt seem to be any custom firmware compatible to it. Is there any universal firmware (stock android????) or lesser known custom roms, or even a possiblilty that a rom for a similar phone will work? Sorry if i sound like an idiot, im pretty new to this and can't find any straight answers online helping me. Any help will be greatly appreciated
looking for this too, but how to unlock the bootloader first?
Would be good to know on XDA...
Waiting for this as well. Anyone had any luck?
