Hello all,
I've managed to create a flashable script which unlocks the Vivo Xshot Ultimate (X710L) bootloader.
Requirements:
1) Root
2) Flahify app installed from PlayStore
3) Cofface custom recovery flashed
Download the script and flash it with the custom recovery.
Download link:

Do not try this on other device since it will not work and you will probably brick the phone since it rewrites bootloader code.

yes that would be great. even though I have to disagree about the Funtouch OS. I think it's excellent and I have used many phones...
Gr8 news about unlocked bootloader.
I hope it will start a little development for Vivo too

Indeed. I was looking for a method to unlock my Ultimate version for a few month but nobody troubled to help me.
I'm very happy that I found the thread about OnePlusOne bootloader unlock mentioned in my post and after I understood what was done there, it was easy to develop a similar script for my phone. Hats off to them again.
I tried to port some roms but it seems that it is not that easy and after a day of work it's kind of hard to return home and start reading so much threads. Porting a rom requires some time and since I managed to create the script to unlock the bootloader now I hope that people with more experience in porting roms will manage to create a custom rom for our Vivo phones (CM would be perfect). I still mantain my oppinion that the Find 7 CM would be easy to port for Vivo since the phones are almost identical.
Best regards
Thanks!
This method also works on mine,
which is an International version of vivo Xshot X710F (16GB/2GB Ram like an elite version)
BTW, I'm just translated the TWRP into English version, check it here!
I'm glad that this worked for you. Unfortunately I sold my XShot and I'm waiting for my Galaxy S6 to arrive. I'm glad that you managed to translate a custom recovery in english. I truly hope that people will start to develop custom roms for XShot sice it is a great phone with fabulous camera.
The link is dead... Can you please upload the file again?
link in main vivo xshot page
the link is dead.. but found the file on the main vivo xshot page =)

Hi everyone, first time poster, please be gentle...
I have recently brought a chinese smartphone, mainly as a bit of a folly to see what they are like. I have brought the Star C1000 also known as the Sesonn C1000, Kingelon C1000, HDC White Walker, Vifocal C1000, Lenteen C1000, Goophone M3 and many other names. It is 5.5 inch with fingerprint scanner.
I want to flash the rom and put either a fresh android 4.4 on there or another trusted mod e.g. cyangenmod but i'm having some trouble as I can't seem to find the necessary ROM for this phone in order to do this. Add to this non of the apps that automate some or all of this i.e. Rom Manager won't recognise the device in order to provide rom's and back up facility and when I tried the automated cyangenmod auto installation, again would recognise the phone and continue with the installation...
So could anyone give me some guidance and advice on this,
P.s. Phone is already rooted as its loaded with their custom rom which says the version is android 5.5, so unless this phone is from the future...
Thanks
Matt
Hello,
First, i dont think that there is any CM Rom for your device.
Second, check every other device with the same Hardware as your device, for one with 4.4 Android.
If you find something, a little Modifikation of the update binary should do the job
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks for your reply, that sounds a little too technical for me I think,
Now the reason I want to do this is because it has come with its own rom installed claiming its android 5.5 and that its a sony m880 when it obviously isnt....does anybody know anything about this...
Heve you found any ROM for the C1000?
Hello I'm not too knowledgeable in this... Right now I'm running 4.4.2... I was looking for a stable option in MM that could be rooted... Doesn't that exist?
Thanks for directing me if it does, honestly im not sure where to find the info...
I have a sm-t520 running build KOT49H T520UEUANI1
Thanks for the help!
Anyone?
Read this thread on how to Root and Install TWRP

This MM Rom is PERFECT!

I have had my Tab Pro rooted and running a Rom since I bought it. I just Rooted and Installed the above ROM on my Wife's Tab Pro last weekend. Took me less than 30 minutes to have everything done and she LOVES the new ROM.

install the CM13 that you can find in here. I have been running it on my T525 since the warranty expired, so for the last 2 years. Good luck
Does everything work out there are some glitches??

It would be helpful to everyone, including yourself if you were to give us a clue as to which Device you were inquiring about. As there are multiple versions of the Tab Pro, across many different sizes. It would also be helpful if you noted wether or not your Device has additional LTE, or is of the simpler WiFi ONLY variety.
That said the T320 (8.4" WiFi), is the (or was the...), best supported Device of the Family. Which had full CyanogenMod Support.
The T325 (8.4" LTE), OtOH never enjoyed any official Support, but, has otherwise Steller Support the whole time.
As for the others I can not speak on matters of which I know not, others will have to step up for the T52x (Tab Pro 10.2"), or the T90x (Tab Pro 12.2"), but I gather those were also working fine.
But, to answer your question, from the viewpoint of a T325 Owner. I find CM-13.0 to be very stable, and quick, and there are no issues worth reporting. 'Cause everything is working.
Hello,
I would like to ask some help with this ROM I still use since I have the phone for over 2 years.
Using 2.0.133 ST (I think Indian based on language options from settings, however the package was definitely Chinese - it was modified by seller) and would like to know how to update to 2.5 (android 7).
I have looked for guides but haven't been succesful so far since it's my first time doing this.
Could someone share a link with step-by-step guides how to use the programs to update firmware with links or guides to help?
Also any suggestion on which ROM to use for gaming and fast performance really ( but still able to use google and banking services ->need andro 7 though for some new software)
Thanks in advance!

Use debloated miui 11. Good roms are MIUI eu 11.0.11 and MiuiMix 11.0.11 (favorite). It's okay with stock kernel but I use agni kernel. Here's a page with many resources for curtana in one place but be careful before installing anything you haven't seen anyone using.
Curtana Premium
Almost forgot... You can use gcam for slightly more detailed photos than miui camera. There are numerous versions. Check out curtana photography in telegram. Personally I only use gcam for raw images. But for quick shots that you won't be doing pixel peeping on, stock camera is enough.
Hello ftriends, I'm a little confused, are all the ROMs on CurtanaGang valid for the international, European version of the phone? I am very interested in this. I have a new Redmi Note 9 pro bought in Romania. Thanks

That website is not known to a lot of people. Roms made for miatoll will work on your phone. Be careful to NEVER install a rom that's made for curtana only.
The roms listed usually have a support or discussion page linked so look for it. Information in the changelogs can also help you decide. Just make sure that you confirm a rom will work on your phone. The installation guide or the rom thread will usually tell which phone the rom is made for. Look for it and post questions there if possible.
Oh! You said you have a new phone... Don't do anything regarding flashing ROMs before you unlock the bootloader.

Thanks again @twistyplain, I know all these steps to unlock ... it doesn't work unlocked. My phone came with MIUI-11 but it was updated to MIUI-12. Probably because the SIM card is not activated on their server (server error ... etc) and is not activated after restart, reset (three times!). Maybe it will work with another SIM card...I'll try it...

I think that's the problem. You must make sure that the sim card to be activated is able to send an international SMS (Mandatory) and it should (maybe) be the active data sim. When you try to activate it make sure you're using mobile data using that Sim card to be safe. Also, try to activate it without another Sim installed.
My primary Sim card activated properly the first time but Sim 2 has never successfully activated. Every time I reboot it tries to activate Sim 2 but always fails. I just wait for it to fail and clear the error message because it affects nothing.

Hi there, so where can i found those?
I'm on the same train, i'm searching a debloated firmware for my new 9 pro.
From what i gather through forums and posts is that the Havoc-OS is the custom firmware+official with the less issues, unless those you mention are better.
I searched both rom subforums but i can't find them.
The closest i find is this which for some weird reason doesn't have as many posts as one could expect Lol
[ROM]-MiuiMiX_2.2.0_joyeuse-[Android 10 - MIUI 12]
I'm not involved in MiuiMiX team nor its development. I only love and would like to share this fantastic work. Hope you enjoy it. * Your warranty is... still valid? * * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, * thermonuclear...

Havoc is AOSP meaning it is based on vanilla Android (not miui). It has a large thread on xda so you can browse that to know about the rom. Official means that it's the one recognized by havoc os developers -- not that it's in any way affiliated with xiaomi. The AOSP rom that most people agree is better than most is Evolution X. However, better than other AOSP roms doesn't mean it's better than miui based ROMs. I always use roms based on stock hence the reason i recommend them. They're generally more stable and require much less effort to get going.
Regarding the source of MiuiMix, you can follow the telegram link in the thread you just posted just under "We follow also other devices, you can know more and update in our telegram channel". I won't repost the link because I'm not sure it's even allowed. When you get there search for your device codename. For instance mine is curtana so i just type #curtana in the search box snd i see a list of the roms released for my device.
Miui eu has a dedicated website so look for it.

Thank you for all the info!
Yeah, i think i will go the same root and use MiuiMix which is a stock based rom, that's why i asked where did you get the ones with miui 11 since i can't find them on sourceforge.(there is only a curtana 11.0.9)
I think i made up my mind and since i have joyeuse i will go with the MiuiMix miui 12 pointed in the thread linked above.

Good choice. Im using it right now. It seems to be a nice rom. Better than eu in ram management. Dark theme has some bugs but I don't use it because it has no energy saving for ips display.
Hi, i'm waiting for official Pixel Experince custom rom for the Redmi note 9 pro (joyeuse), I asked them on their twitter account they told me to wait, you can do the same it will convince them to do

I upgraded to MiuiMix 12.0.2 and it's been perfect for almost three weeks now. I don't use dark mode because it's the only bug i know to exist with this rom. And I can't blame the MiuiMix devs because it's a xiaomi fault.
