Flash Rom of Chinese Star C1000

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

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?

[Q] Step by step guide for stock Lollipop on G3?

Hi,
Absolute complete newbie here when it comes to any type of fiddling with Android. I have no idea where to start.
I used to have a Nexus 5, I loved the stock experience. I now have an LG G3 D855. LG's version of Lillipop is fine but it's no where near as good as stock.
I know the G3 can have stock lollipop put on it but I have no idea where to start. Is there a step by step guide somewhere I can use or would someone on here have the time to write one up for me? (A lot to ask, I know so I won't be offended if you say no!)
I'm not a total newbie in regards to tech. I've build PCs and all that. I've just no idea where to start with android or how to change my phone.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Moving to Stock LP
easiest way to get to LP is by getting your current firmware from here: http://lg-firmware-rom.com/
then upgrade to that kdz from with lg flash tool 2014, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2797190
also need LG Mobile Support tool: http://www.lg.com/au/support-mobile/lg-G3-D855-Metallic-Black​
Root & Custom Recovery
root with this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g...lipop-t3056951
then install twrp with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/apk-flash-twrp-autorec-thanks-to-t3081396
keep up to date of LP updates with http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/stock-t2961073​
i also think you have your terminologies confused; what you call 'stock' i think you mean the google nexus software or 'google edition'. 'stock' in fact refers to the firmware that LG pushes out. the other option would be 'custom', which is where you install software not made or endorsed by the phone's vendor, such as Cyanogem Mod. to install these 'custom' roms, you'll need to be rooted & have a custom recovery (twrp) installed to flash said 'custom' roms.
for me, i have stock LP and use tweaksbox, which customizes many aspects of the software. if you're interested, i can run you through on how to get it, because there are a few things you need to do.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow: Will E986 get it?

So I was wondering if my phone is "young" enough to get the marshmallow update and after a lot of googling I could not get a clear answer...
I own the LG Optimus G Pro E986 and it is almost 2 years and 9 months since the manufacture date and its current OS is Jellybean...
I searched on some sites and found out that LG will allow the marshmallow update on LG G phones first, if I remember correctly, but is LG still updating Optimus G Pro phones? Is there still a way I can get marshmallow?Also do you know any good ROM (marshmallow or lollipop) for the device?
Thanks

Don't expect anything from LG, especially not for EU and Open variants.
Some variants got their KitKat update in 2014, Korean variants (F240 models) got their Lollipop (5.0.2) update last year and that's pretty much it. LG doesn't plan and won't push any further updates for this device, especially it is now more than 3 years old. Hell, they gave up on E98x variants after a year My E988 got an initial 4.1.2 patch first day I got it, and no updates till April of 2014 (KitKat 4.4.2) and... Silence after that, so yeah, not even a full year of updates and support.
Your best chance to get some sweet Lollipop is to flash some of custom ROMs available - you can choose between stock based and AOSP based. I was maintaining SlimLP till recently it became obvious there will be no more updates to their Lollipop repos, and now I'm using custom CM builds. Marshmallow is a dead-end, simply too much stuff for this device is broken/obsolete/non-existent, and it has almost 0% dev interest because of that, locked bootloaders and LG's 30-variants-for-one-model idiotic policy.
So, if you want to keep your device 100% working, keep it on 4.1.2 or try to find a KitKat KDZ for your variant (I had to flash mine manually, LG's OTA didn't even offer KK update, and I didn't even knew there was a KK update before LG's PC suite prompted it). If you don't mind occasional bugs, glitches and crashes, move to custom ROMs (keep your jellybean as base, root it, if not rooted already, "unlock" with Freegee, flash TWRP).

Thats true... As a device its awesome and I am really satisfied by its performance but LG suddenly "forgot" it, like it never existed. I have installed cm12.1 nightly on my E986 but yeah there are some issues (black screens etc.)... so I will test it for some time and I will think if I switch to stock ( which worked smoothly and no problems) or not.
My last hope is BlurOS project which was started by a team in Vietnam's XDA and they are about to create Murshmallow ROM for LG GPro series too.
So whoever is interested please vote for it here (after you become member of the group)-> https://m.facebook.com/questions.ph...o-bluros-support-lg-t3372926&refid=9&_rdr#_=_
Also check the XDA thread about BlurOs ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/general/please-register-to-bluros-support-lg-t3372926

Try running CM 12.1 with Wild kernel (blackouts are fixed, not sure about flickering, haven't used that one in long time), or if someone else made a CM-compatible flashable zip of kernel I've used for Slim (I've fixed all display issues - no blackouts, no flashing, no glitches.. zombigrn made flashables of older kernels for BlissPop, not sure if they'll work on CM).
I saw that thread but I'm taking that with a reserve. I managed to get some Marshmallow ROMs to boot, but RIL, sensors, camera, NFC.. god knows what else... all broken. Not a job for one guy who just knows his way around and isn't a pro. I'll keep this phone as long as possible, and if someone with enough knowledge to fix those issues emerges, well, more ROMs on our way. But from current state of things... This device simply got it's EOL really, really quick. Too bad, it's still pretty good phone, but either way I'm looking towards an update - something cheap, unlocked and with good AOSP-based ROM support.

For installing TWRP just search this on google: xda developers how to install twrp. A tutorial on xda developers should be the first result.
And for rom I use the BetaHydri cm12 rom version 4.2b, it is very stable. Luckily rom development is getting better for this phone.

Multiple questions

First of all I would like to thank everyone in this forum for their kindness and resourcefulness.
I am sorry for asking questions that have already been discussed and for mixing up issues of different nature.
I am considering of getting a k5 European version a6020a40 s415. It's cheap, reliable and it has a removable battery. I am puzzled by the amount of complexity related to flashing custom ROM s on it.
1. How complex is the process of installing and accessing TWRP? Is it just a matter of enabling the option (unlock bootloader) in the developers options and then flashing it in adb model (after unlocking the bootloader)? I've seen desperate questions about this. Is it feasible?
2. Can I flash ROMs that can be used as daily drivers (I.e. no strange glitches and\or unexpected reboots\FCs)?
A. Is the camera working on them? (Stock or third party)?
B. Is FM radio working on them? (Stock or third party)?
C. Is OTG mode working for external drives and/or external DACs?

1) First installation of TWRP is possible using ADB after some changes in developer options, but in some cases generate bootloop. In my device, i fix the problem after of one day.
2) AOKP ROM can be easily updated and for me no presents any problem.
A) Stock camera is related problems for much users, is needed install third party. My device has Open Camera software.
B) FM radio not work in AOKP and i also desire know any rom what be functional.
C) Yes.

Thank you

It's not necessary to unlock bootloader to flash twrp if you have root access then you can use a flashing app to flash twrp using root without unlocking bootloader
