Root Section
Procedure:
1) Copy superuser.zip in your sd card.
last version 1.51
http://www.4shared.com/zip/jLZckTwA/update-supersu-v151.html
2 ) Unpack Flashtool version for quad core in a folder
New version of flashtool SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1312.0.150
http://www.4shared.com/zip/RHJJa1Qx/sp_flash_tool_exe_v313160150.html
3 ) Run Flashtool and select only two files:
a) the famous scatter file
b ) Also choose the file recovery
( or TWRP recovery of cwm that previously had to be copied to the firmware folder )
CWM recovery vers.5 only for zp990
Now make sure that you select only these two files
The phone must be in the mode 'of off .... if you want to be thorough , you can also remove the battery and put it back but always in a position to phone off
Now click on "download" in the program Flashtools .
Now you can connect the USB cable to the phone ( the phone that is always on repeat off ) .
You will see that she will send fleshtool ' messages of some colored bars and then we give ' a ok with a green circle !
4 ) Now you have your phone with the recovery changed but have not yet completed the process of root because ' lacks the manager that it would be superuser permissions !
We must enter the mode ' recovery !
On this phone to enter the mode ' of recovery we will need ' the program MTKDROIDTOOLS :
download it here:
version 2.42 http://www.4shared.com/rar/SIZQYYL3/...ools_v242.html
version 2.48 http://ge.tt/2yL21VT
In the model zp990 not possible to enter the mode '' ' recovery using the volume + and Power at the same time , so we need this program!
That works, but only in certain circumstances ( usb cable plugged in and charging) .. but we will use mtkdroidtools .
Turn on the phone and performed by Droid pc tools , and connect the USB cable to the PC to recognize our zp990 had previously been downloaded
drivers ( first page ), or (more ' simple ) download snappea ( program to recognize the pc all phones ) from snappea.com .
5 ) Please reboot into recovery mode and step into the ' recovery of cwm or TWRP as the following photos :
Look the two photo attached::good:
6 ) Now you are in recovery changed where you can perform a myriad of programs and tools upgrades and also make a backup , so that if you have a configuration
all yours and come out ' a new firmware you just have to update the firmware to reinstall the recovery of cwm in this case and reinstall your backup.
Proceed with the installation of the operator permits root ( superuser ) .
You must select with the buttons Volume + or - install zip file from sd card
Esternal then install zip from sd card and select superuser ..... you have on your sd ( you would have to copy the first operation ) and run with selection yes !
At this point you back ....... .... reboot and return to the Android phone will find the program superuser !
7 ) Do you have root privileges .... so be careful because you might accidentally delete system files and then have a phone lock !
So much attention to what you do!
At this point you have to choose the program from the market that you will ' get to the root ... I use Root Browser ( Android icon black pirate with eye patch )
Procedure with Eroot :
( tested by Buonsala )
I wanted to show you this simple procedure for the root , and I think it 's easier than indicated .... (I'm only advice I will not go against anyone !)
1 ) On your phone enable USB debugging ( settings - Developer options )
2 ) download and install the drivers published at the beginning of this discussion
3 ) eroot downloaded from here:
eroot_v1.3.4 - Download - 4shared - Nabeel Moderator
4 ) eroot extract and run ( with the phone connected to USB)
5) If eroot identifies your model ( ZP990 will come out in a big first screen) press the green tasro ROOT , wait steps
6 ) at the end reboot and you will have root!
We are now in one easy step to install the CWM (having the root) with 2 simple steps:
1) download the CWM ( the img file posted at the beginning of the debate) and copy it to the SD card of the phone ( no matter whether internal or external)
2 ) download and install to play store uncle Mobile processors for mtk
3 ) Open Mobile uncle and meu ' go to " recovery update" - MobileUncle will automatically find the file that you placed on the SD , and everything will be installed , now from here you can also reboot into recovery.

Good morning, I've question. I've read about Zopo's smartphone like the ZP980 model, that some people said that it's impossible to install programs in the internal rom beacuse is preformatted. It's only available a little memory space about 1,5 GB.
So my question is if it's possible to install programs, applications and games in all the 32GB phone storage of the ZP990?
Thanks for reply.
Bye

Hi Friend,
For the internal system memory you can reflash the firmware with new ebr 1 and 2 to amount the operative system to 2,49 gb and the remain memory to use like internal sd....but some apps must need to sd card and so you in some situations don't make nothing in other situation you can decide to install some apps in sd card!
bye
p,s.
before any type of operations wait the link to the original firmware.....because if you became in brick situation you don't have the possibility to relive the phove!
Simple question: are ghost touches on ZP990? I have ZP980 and this is really serious problem ..

As mentioned you can expand the storage space for apps, however most large apps install on SD card, either internal or external. I've installed may GBs worth of games already today, but all the large games have the files on SD card, so no problem here at least

Got my ZP990 today. Haven't noticed any ghost touches this far. Tested in normal use and when charging too. Any particular situation where you encounter this on you ZP980? Then I can check if it happens on my ZP990 as well.
Was happy and surprised when I saw that the phone included S-view flip cover in addition to normal battery door. As well as one additional screen protector.

On www.zopomobile.cn is not any FW for ZP990, only for ZP980...

I'm inside in low-light now. So I tested using my old phone's LED flashlight. Moving it further and closer to the sensors. It works very well as far as I can see. Increases brightness fairly quickly when the LED light shines on it and reduces brightness when i direct it elsewhere.
Ok, thank you :good:

MICROMAX A87 NINJA 4.0 [DRIVER SOLVED / ROOTING / RAM INCREASE /HD GAMING MODS]
HI axai here...
i bought this fone ninja 4.0 that came with a ULTRA VIBRANT 4 inch WVGA 480x800 display that is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the display of optimus black which claims to "outshine the sun"
this post is for the MICROMAX A87 [superfone ninja 4.0] users.this post will deal with..
1)rooting your device
2)increasing your RAM using 3 sure shot techniques to work
2)Enabling HD gaming to play nvidia TEGRA games like samurain 2 vengence, and mid level HD games like asphalt 5/6, driftmania and many more
to root your micromax a87
you need the drivers installed... and to get the method to clean installl the drivers not the old sdk and drivers.zip method follow this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33071477#post33071477
[ROOTING]
switch on your internet connect [not needed but preffered]
step 1:
now to assuming you followed the above post and drivers installed download unlockroot and install
make sure usb debugging is enabled in your phone.
go to settings/application/development to enable the debugging
step 2: connect the hone to your pc and run Unlockroot
step 3: click on root button
bingo!! you are rooted.
you can go to market and update your "superuser" app.
[INCREASING RAM AND SAVING PHONE MEMORY]
TO SAVE PHONE MEMORY:
in your phone applications and select preffered install location as SD card.
[TO INCREASE RAM SIZE AND PERFORMANCE]
step 1:
once rooted go to playmarket and download busybox app.... and use the app to install busybox latest version into your phone.
step 2:
download the attachment i gave called speed boost and install the app on your fone.
on your home screen add the speed boost widget.. its like a button and is very handy.
a click of this button frees ur memory ur fone actualli becomes amaxingly responsive with low lags
step3:
[This step may degrade ur memory card life..above two steps will sufficiently free your ram but this technique will give u that extra mb of ram apart from your phone ram using swapping technique]
Download an app called "swapper" from market and install
open the appp and grant the app permission [better to select remember this decision] for then if you have a 4 gb memory card...
select "active swap on boot".
enter the size in the box as 600 mb...make sure u have 1 gb of freespace on your memory card all the time. (if u have 8 gb cards u can use 900 mb too but make sure u have aroung 1 gb of extra free space on card)
click save..
Now itl take some time and you must have patience and wait...do not click anything because it is creating a swap file on your memory card.
once done deselect "active swap on boot".
click save and close the app..
again open the app, grant permission if it asks.
now select "active swap on boot"...it should show a message enabling swap.
NOW YOUR MEMORY CARD WILL BE USED AS 600 mb EXTRA RAM WEN U NEED IT DURING PLAYING HD GAMES WHAT I WILL TELL HOW TO IN NEXT SEGMENT.
Step 4:
DO THIS STEP ON YOUR OWN RISK....I HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY>>>ONLY IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT DO THIS STEP ELSE SKIP TO NEXT GAMING SEGMENT..
[ above 3 steps will give sufficient ram to play games but this is one extra step you can do if you want ..can help you to recover more ram by DEFAULT]
install "root explorer" and download the "hololauncher.apk" and copy to sd card.
open root explorer and click on "mount R/W"
go to "sdcard" folder and go to place where you placed holo launcher.
copy it and come back to root folder and go to system/app and paste it
long hold on the file and change the permissions to rw-r--r--
in the same folder search for "MLabsLauncher.apk"... cut it and paste in in ur sd card...as a back up...
MAKE SURE U DO STEPS PROPERLY ELSE UR PHONE WILL HAVE TO BE FLASHED WITH STOCK ROM AGAIN..
NOW here we removed the default mlabs launcher by micromax that keeps running no matter what and uses 13Mb!!!! of RAM...and user a lighter ics clone "hololauncher"..
[HD GAMING ON A87]
assuming u followed the previous segment till step 3...i.e swaping process....now we proceed to turn the ninja to a gaming device..YES!! all HD gaming u need...
step 1:
Download and install CHAINFIRE 3D pro ....you will get the pro app after the google search just copy the .apk from computer to sd card and then install on your phone.
step 2:
there are 3 zip files inside the drivers.zip file...copy the 3 zip files to your root folder of sd card...
step 3:
open Chainfire 3d and in that select "CF3D driver" and select install driver or search driver....it will automatically search and install drivers
step 4:
to play a HD game.(ex: asphalt 6) install the game and open chainfire 3d.
go to "per-app openGL settings"
scroll the list and find the game (ex: asphalt6) and select it
ul get a menu...with default settings ticked....untick it and
select the following options:
"reduce texture quality"
"reduce texture size"
"disable mapbuffer emu"
"hide CF3D id"
thats it.... you have succesfully turned your MICROMAX A87 NINJA 4.0 to a HD gaming device (with a few lags at time) but hey better than NO GAMING ryt??!! and you have increased your phone RAM size "virtually"!! and you have increased your phone speed!!!
Remeber after closing games....click on that speed boost widget on your home screen twice or thrice !!
and in the games are crashing....open swapper...disable active swap and save...then again enable active swap and save... click widget twice...
I tried the game with few lags:
SAMURAI 2 VENGENCE
ASPHALT 5
ASPHALT 6
Drift Mania 2
Drift Mania
Raging Thunder 2
Battle bears
SkateBoard Party HD
NOVA HD
NOVA 2 HD

Speedboost , chainfire3d pro and its drivers are attached below..
Can you clarify these doubts?
Hi axai, nice tut on rooting and increasing ram on the phone. In the gaming section, however, I have a few doubts. Namely:
1. in step 2 you told that "there are 3 zip files inside the drivers.zip file...copy the 3 zip files to your root folder of sd card..." I don't have a root folder on my sd card... should I create it?
2. I copied the 3 zip files on to the sd card (not into any folder on the sd card itself). Whn i clicked install driver in Chainfire3d, it gives me a warning that my phone may or may not boot. I'm scared if it doesn't boot, it'll mess up my phone . Did the same warning come up for you?
Will you please answer these questions I really want to play samurai 2: Vengence on my phone but am scared to install chainfire 3d driver because it gives me the warning message.
Regards,
Sam

Can swapper work on a class 4 memory card??
I have an 8gb class 4 memory card will swapping work on it??
And also does swapping have no side effects other than degraded memory card life??
Awesom. Will try this

thanks to all the above the dream of runing android on i8000 came true. and because of their job we were expecting faster and faster, more and more efficient and smooth versions.
i followed their path. got a version, modified it, combined the best parts of each ROM and i am offering a new ROM much closer to be complete and less beta.
DETAILS ABOUT THE ROM
It is not based on frenkiedroid as far as i know but followed other path onto chinese ROMS. I think it is faster than any other ROM (tell me if not). It has achived score 1035 on antutu on my class 10 sd card (this is almost the speed of a native android phone using cm6 and this fast hardware)
According to measuments made using Benchmark & Tuning it is up to 56% faster compared to the already fast frenkiedroid
Tested
bluetooth
wi-fi
3g
calling
sms
radio
gps
usb connection
battery lasts up to 2 days

Hi guys, any reports on testing this ROM?
I want to set up my old Omnia 2 with Android for my gf, so I'm looking for a stable and simple ROM for her.
Thanx.

You can try either my ROM or twister2 ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342764
they are both the same level
the fastest is mine
faster GPS in on mine (ms-based preconfigured)
wi-fi i think works a little better on twister
twister has preloaded facebook etc, while mine has only stock apps
mine has business (single) coloured menus while twister has fancy (multi) coloured menus
if you want to install optional apps that have ads and you are not expert on android then install twister
if you want to install apps that do not have ads (or have ads and you are android expert) you can choose mine
please not that some people mentioned that with my ROM their SIM card was not recognized. i am not sure if the same for your SIM, your country.
Only two ROMS to choose. so you need only a few hours to try them both and make your decision. the choise is yours
Samsung i8000 (omnia2) android cm6new rom v4
as I promised long ago to publish
SAMSUNG I8000 (OMNIA2) ANDROID CM6NEW ROM Version 4
- Support even more SIM
- Speed improvement - response
- Corrected some errors
- Upgrading of most programs
- Show ics (ice cream sandwich - android 4.0.X)
- Arrangements for energy savings
The new enhancements took me some time and study. I8000 reaches its limits due to its old drivers that are already written for mobile identical hardware with it.
Hope you like it and I expect opinions and suggestions to version 5 if there will be any further developments. Otherwise I will try to assist in the plan for android 2.3 on our mobile.
Explanation photo below
1 = home screen (the background is black on purpose because the amoled screen thus consumes less energy. If you want to change select another background with as many black dots. Black and not just dark color.)
2 = dialer with ics theme, search function names and support many languagesk. Make it default dialer if you like it
3 = new android ics Task Manager (task manager). Appear with long press of home button. If you do not like replace it with the Advanced Task Manager or ICS Task Manager / Switcher. To open them again by long pressing the central button select Settings / Cyanogenmod Settings / Input / Long-press home settings / select custom application
4 = ics camera
5 = menu ics (holo launcher)
6 = ics settings
For those who want even more contemporary look can choose Active lockscreen or Holo Locker
I tried installing this on my Omnia II.
I successfully create the partitions on my SD card, but when I go to starting the process with the ROM file, it comes back with the error message:
"The image file requires an updated version of this program."
I grabbed the latest version just to try it, and I need to purchase a key to make it work.
Yes, I reset my computer clock to September 1st, 2011. Do i need to reboot the machine after the clock reset?
Everything else so far seems to work fine, and if this works even half as good as I think it will, props to you for getting this done. I hate hate HATE winblows 6.5 on my Omnia II, and always wanted android. I tried a few of the older attempts years ago, but nothing was every stable enough to keep it.
Thanks again for any help.

I tried this program, and again, comes up with the same error message.
I'm getting to the point where I have to change the date, then run image for windows, but it just keeps giving me that error.
I'm running windows Vista, could that be causing the issue? is there any other information I need to change or pay attention too?
I'm literally doing everything step by step, and yet its not working for me.

it's only 542.27 KB. how long time can get to download ?
even if you have dial up or the server is full you need seconds to download it
just make sure the time change is ok and better cut all internet connections before execute the program

anyway i already downloaded the file
follow the procedure
until trying to restore image
got an error " the image file requires an updated version of this program"
internet id off
antivirus is off
date set to 1 september 2011
I've just tested it, the same problem I had as others already mentioned. I went back to the version 3, success! So I think the version 4 image is damaged or not correctly made. By the way, the version 3 that did work for me has no microsd card support. You should modify by yourself the startup.txt file to enable the sd card support.
Hope my words can be helpful to others.

i made my ROM to be installed on sdcard with sdcard support. Hundreds of users already installed it and no problems at all. i installed V4 again last night and no problem at all. my phone is i8000 8gb version if you install on storage card YES you should edit startup.txt and also edit vold.fstab and fstab files.
if find some free time from android 2.3 development project testings i will make a Version 5 and on this version i hope minor problems to be solved.
I downloaded the newest version of Image for Windows, which is v2.83 (the one in the package is v2.61), the tool to write the image into the partition ext4, and this time, everything went just like a charm.
I have to admit that the V4 image is a very good one. It's really fast and clean. I think the problem that we had before is caused by the lower version of Image for Windows. V2.61 can't load correctly the V4 image file, which I think is made by a higher version of Image for Windows. With the new version of Image for Windows, it's even not necessary to change the date.
The Chiese ringtones in this ROM are hilarious. I'm a Chinese, they are OK with me. But I think original ringtones would be better for common users, hehehe.
great work , will it work on omnia b7610 too !!

technically yes it can run. but i do not own one to test it myself. you can try yourself and tell us your experiences. test on sd card installation first. it it pretty smooth and fast. you will be amazed. in case it will not work you can always check TwisterV2 ROM also very fast and smooth
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342764
alternatively in case you meet some driver conflicts you can always use ubuntu and other ROM's drivers to edit this ROM and make it work for you.

I am facing the same issue, I cannot load my Storage Card.
1. I am confuse with term SD Card here. Is it refer to Storage Card or My Storage? Storage Card means external micro sd card, isn't?
2. I followed the instruction and put the Image to Storage Card. How can I activate the Storage Card Support by editting fstab files? Where can I find these files?
3. I had format Partition 1333Mb to ext4 File System, but I wonder why it always turn to ext3 after I restore TBI file(after ImageRecover step). Is it okay?
Thanks.
I have the S4 Mini Model number SCH-R890 from US Cellular. I Rooted my device. I have a few questions.
1. What are some must have apps I should have before I mod my phone?
2. If I plug my phone into my computer and copy all the files to my computer could that be my back up? (I dont have an SD card yet)
3. Is there a video I can watch or detailed instructions to guide me through restoring my phone if I brick it (maybe softbrick?)
4. Will apps like Wanam Exposed work with my model of phone?
5. Are there any files I can open up and read (on note pad) or another program like that to change the values IE to change the color of my drop down notification bar manually?
6. What is a good micro SD card to have for your smart phone (performance wise)?

Good thread Paul nice to have a place to discuss this tablet i have just posted in the other thread you refereed to but will also post it here below
I bought a 10.1 Allwinner A31s 16GB from Ebay for £60 the device details show as a YONESTOPTECH BS1078
It is a nice tablet for the price and came pre rooted witch was great.
One of the first things i did was make a backup off the Rom with online nandroid backup as i like messing and wanted a backup just in case i messed up. and here is where things got messy, online nandroid backup would only be able to restore if i had a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)
So off i went and tried to install TWRP from the guide on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210676
Long story short it didn't work an i thought i had bricked it as it was stuck on the boot logo, i managed to find FW for a Q102 A31S Tablet Stock Firmware 4.4.2 wich is the same tablet under a different name, after several failed attempts to recover through phoenix suite as i couldn't get it into recovery, i downloaded phoenixcard and successfully flashed the FW Phew all was good lol.
So if anyone has successfully installed a custom recovery any info would be grateful as it would be nice to try a custom Rom.
I have also had a little play with dragonface for allwinner devices as this lets you change a few things on the stock ROM ISO and then you can re flash with your custom changes, Two things i would like to tweak are volume and lcd settings as i feel the volume on this device is to quiet and the lcd contrast could do with tweaking. in dragon face you can load the sys.cofig settings, i have found the volume config but haven't got a clue what can be changed to increase the max volume level so if anybody has any knowledge then any input would be appreciated, here is the code for audio settings,
Code:
;pa_single_vol,pa_double_vol: 31 level,1.5db/step.0x1f is the large volume.
;cap_vol:use for system record,0x0--0db,0x1--24db,0x2--27db,0x3--30db,0x4--33db,0x5--36db,0x6--39db,0x7--42db
;headphone_vol,earpiece_vol: must least than 0x3b. 0x1 is a step.
;headset_mic_vol: headset mic(mic2) vol,use for phone headset mic call
;main_mic_vol: main mic(mic1) vol,use for phone main mic call
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[audio_para]
audio_used = 1
audio_hp_ldo = "none"
headphone_vol = 0x3b
earpiece_vol = 0x3b
cap_vol = 0x7
pa_single_vol = 0x1b
pa_double_used = 1
pa_double_vol = 0x1f
headphone_direct_used = 0
headphone_mute_used = 0
audio_pa_ctrl = port:PA18<1><default><default><0>
audio_mute_ctrl = port:PA17<1><default><default><0>
headset_mic_vol = 6

ezcast application install error
Hi,
I get an error message when I try to install the ezcast app on the tablet, do you have any
idea why this would happen? I would really like to cast from this device to my tv.
Also when I try to install the fulltilt poker app from fulltilt.com, the site doesn't recognize my
device as an android device. I got over it by copying the .apk file from another device but
I just thought to mention it.
Thanks,

Hmm. I've been able to install ezcast on mine, and maybe the poker game was initially meant for windows. Your tab most likely came pre rooted so check your root permission. For ez cast contact the apps developer he is very good at replying just give all stats from about phone . good luck

I just purchased an AllWinner Q102 Tablet. It took me a day or so to realize that it also is pre-rooted. Here is my problem. I continue to get errors that say "unfortunately google play.... has stopped." or "unfortunately Netflix has stopped"
It's driving me crazy! I can't use any of my regular apps.
The model is a Q102

It seems like a nice little tablet for the price....
I would rather go to stock if it works rather than a root that is flakey
Thanks for any help you can give!
My Google Play reboots, but no "unfortunately" messages

I seem to have the identical tablet (specdevice . com / showspec.php ? id=5f13-c36d-ffd4-db280033c587) purchased in October. Mine was also pre-rooted, and it took me a while to figure that out too!
I do not see the messages/crashes that you see; my apps generally run with stability. I do occasionally experience surprise reboots (presumably from crashes) when I connect a USB device or am attempting to upgrade a large app via Google Play. I assume that my Google Play reboots are somehow related to running out of app disk space. Even though my tablet has 32 GB flash internally (split into two 16 GB flash devices) for some reason only 2GB was allocated to the /data partition, where apps are installed. When I found your post, I was actually looking for a solution to increase my tablet's /data partition. I read about different firmware downloads available (earlier in this thread, and in a chinagadgetsreviews blogspot -- sorry, XDA does not let me post links yet) but don't know whether they would help me with my small /data partition problem.
I'd be happy to test any particular apps on my tablet, if that would be of diagnostic use to you. And please let me know if you ever discover a solution to increase the app disk space.

Hello,
is possible manually update my tablet to Android 5? I found this
but from ( ROM Part 1 : http://goo.gl/7pyL97 ) this site i cant download ROM
Upgrade/Update Vodafone Smart Tab 4g to 5.0 Lollipop
Upgrade/Update Vodafone Smart Tab 4g to 5.0 Lollipop
I rewrite this tutorial from forum.xda-developers.com :
The users of Vodafone Smart Tab 4g can now update their handsets to Android 5.0 Lollipop using custom ROM. The new Android 5.0 Lollipop comes with many new features :
- Up to 4x performance improvements.
- A battery saver feature which extends device use by up to 90 mins.
- It has a faster, smoother and more powerful computing experience.
- Support for 64-bit SoCs using ARM, x86, and MIPS-based cores.
- OpenGL ES 3.1 and Android extension pack brings Android to the forefront of mobile graphics putting it on par with desktop and console class performance.
- Responsive, natural motion, realistic lighting and shadows, and familiar visual elements make it easier to navigate your device.
- More intelligent ranking of notifications based on who they’re from and the type of communication. See all your notifications in one place by tapping the top of the screen.
- New devices come with encryption automatically turned on to help protect data on lost or stolen devices.
- SELinux enforcing for all applications means even better protection against vulnerabilities and malware.
- State of the art video technology with support for HEVC main profile to allow for UHD 4K 10-bit video playback, tunneled hardware video decoding to save power and improved HLS support for streaming.
- and other cool features.
Here are some more aspects that users should know before trying out the custom ROM :
- Users need to have proper back-up for their personal data on the device.
- The handset should have at least 80 percent of battery power.
- The users also need to ensure that USB Debugging is enabled on the device.
- During the installation, if the device gets stuck on booting, users can perform wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik before rebooting the device.
Tutorial
1. Download Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM for Vodafone Smart Tab 4g from link below :
The ROM File size is big, so I split the file into 3 parts :
ROM Part 1 : http://goo.gl/7pyL97
ROM Part 2 : http://goo.gl/ffHU2x
ROM Part 3 : http://goo.gl/l1zKh5
To combine 3 parts files above into 1 file just use WINRAR, then extract the files into ZIP format. If any problem with the ROM, maybe because the ROM have corrupted during the download process, you can try to re-download the ROM.
2. Install the ROM Manager on your Vodafone Smart Tab 4g . Get it from Google Play Store, then install the clockwork mod recovery. You also can use ROM Installer application from JRummy Apps Inc.(Get it from Google Play Store).
3. Connect your Vodafone Smart Tab 4g to your PC employing the USB information cable. Copy the “ROM.zip” file you downloaded to the SD memory card.
4. Restart your device in the recovery mode using ROM Manager. As soon as in Recovery Mode, go to ROM Manager and select backup/restore to back-up your information.
5. From the Recovery Menu do a total data erase (including Delvik Cache). When completed, go back to Recovery Principal Menu and choose Flash ROM from SD Card. Navigate the location you copied the ”ROM.zip” file and follow the directions for installing Android 5.0 Lollipop on your Vodafone Smart Tab 4g . As soon as the installation is over, just reboot your Vodafone Smart Tab 4g device, and here you go, you’ve just upgraded it to the new Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Hi:

yes i know.. I'm one of them
I don't understand why some prick upload all tools (root utility and ROMs) for Vodafone Smart Tab 4G to that disreputable server http://downloadsafe.org/? For download it want to send payment SMS messages!!!!! :crying:
If you want my opinion, i think that this supposed lollipop version is fake...
On another forum I've seen this and reports that it works.
I don't have the device (still deciding wether to buy it or not) so I can't test it
http://duben.org/android/vodafone-smart-tab-4g-root-navod
Yes, I've seen that link just a few minutes ago. I will try it tonight, since i don't have my tablet with me now.
Hi, this tutorial duben.org/android/vodafone-smart-tab-4g-root-navod is mine, I was wrote it yesterday in czech language, I hope pictures there are informative enough. In case you need rewrite it to english, let me know, I can take care of it.
Well it worked
But still impossible to use the SD card to install apps Nothing seems to work (app2SD, ...)

I have same issue. Apps can work with data on SD Card, for example RawDroid can edit photos, save/delete files. But App2SD functionality is still not supported. It should work with Link2SD app and 2 partitions on SD card. The reason is emulated external storage in internal memory. I didn't find yet how to turn this of, or how to change it.

I've tried Link2SD, but with no success. The best i got was to use MountFolder to move the applications data to the external SD card. With this, I've recovered some good precious space (for example, Minion Rush was using 330MB that where freed).

Thanks for tip FolderMount (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount) works like a charm.
If anyone wants the source code, here it is:
Code:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/VF_SmartTab4G_20140923.tar.xz
It was awesome if we could get a rom for this tablet =)
People say it is based on Alcatel Pop 8S tablet, but I have never seen this tablet on sale, neither original roms, nothing about it.
Only alcatel website has some info about it, but not much: http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/products/tablets/pop_8s.html#.VOPaQfmsVoc
Anyone managed to remove system apps?
Titanium backup says it can't find the apks..
In Android 4.4, apps can't write the sd-card, it's a security thing. But there are apps, which enables sd write. And yes, we have source, but for ROMs we also need recovery, and a developer. But fingers crossed.

Anyone tried that? can you confirm that it works?
Any other method that roots 4.4.4?
Yes and it is work. Only "bug" after the root is: every time you reboot your tablet you will got a message that says android is upgrade-ing and continues to updating apps. But it is work.

I stuck on step 7. Finding device... But I did step 5...
What u mean updating apps.? Updates all apps from store?
No, optimezing. Its that thing when android take an update and after that the apps is optimezed. This happening after each reboot. About the root process: if you use win 8, 8.1 you wont be able to rootbso easly because of the drivers. Try with win xp or 7. My advice: use XP. I did it with it.

So, to get this straight: we can actually root the Vodafone smart tab 4g and flash custom roms??
