Hi all,
As more and more custom roms are being released for ZE551ml (AKA Z00A) and none for ZE550ml, I do have a stupid question: How could we get these rom to work on our ZE550ml, as the platform is more or less the same?
I read different things on the subject: Some says we just need to change DPI, some others says we need to put night mode and use terminal emulator to type 1920*1080 in it.
Did someone try one of these trick? Was it successfull and what are the things that are working on ZE551 that won't work on ZE550 ? (compass etc...).
The aim of this topic is to find a solution to get these roms working on our phone, especially if the modification is easy!
Thx all :good:,
Nicolas
This should work for almost all ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/install-cm12-1-ze550ml-t3171382
Also I requested your topic to be moved to the general or Q&A section

Greetings!
I've just got an Samsung S7230, it's unlocked but it uses an Orange-branded ROM which is quite limiting (no wi-fi router for example)
Now i've noticed that there are links to some roms for this model posted in a topic, but i'm not really sure what should i choose and i also don't know how to flash it.
If possible, indicate me the leatest original (not necessarely original) ROM for S7230 and eventually a brief how-to install.
Thank you all
I have only S8500... but you could read some Documents about your handset:

Also use of Multiloader is described with Pictures...

Hello XDA,
I've been following you for years. I started following you with my first Android phone, an HTC Hero. I've been very happy to be able to use a community ROM that made a far better experience than the stock ROM.
I recently got a brand new HTC One V PrimoU, and I'd like to make it my new polyvalent tool.
I'm not a noob in computers, kernel/linux related stuff, electronics, networking. I already tried some ROMs. In fact, I started with KangBang 3.0 (the same version as now I think), but both WiFi and BlueTooth were not working. Android could not even detected the WiFi MAC address, so I guess it was a driver or wireless chip firmware related problem. I think I was the only one affected, so it was maybe a bad flash or I used the wrong kernel. I did'nt investigate more at the time, but if it happens again to me, I'll send some system/kernel logs.
I then tried AOKP, had a great (really) experience with it, except that the Jack plug sound quality was awful. No bass, only mid/high tones. I even thought my speakers were dead at first, but then tried with headphones. Now, I want to try KangBang again, because that ROM was good, and fast, just missing WiFi.
TL;DR
I'd like to ask some precise questions about KangBang and the HTC One V.
I initially wanted to ask in the ROM dev thread, but can't since I'm a new user, so I ask here. Sorry if the questions are stupid/simple/answered, but let's make a clear base, with precise interrogations and answers, so that they will never be asked again
The kernel is included in the .zip file. Still, do we need to flash manually ? Or will the Aroma installer handle that ?
What about ROM Manager ? Is it recommended to use or is it a good way to brick a phone as I heard ?
Does this ROM change the base Android system and file structure ? Would it be compatible with a side-by-side installation of a Linux system such as Debian ? (To see what I mean by side by side installation of Linux, search Debian Kit for Android on Google, as I can't post links)
Also, I'd like to tell ROM makers these advices (don't take them bad, I you think I'm wrong about them there's no problem, just tell me why) :
It would not be a bad idea to give a simple statistic about the ROM : the load average with the ROM installed on an idle and clean phone. That would give a good indication of idle power consumption and ressource wasting.
I see that users reporting problems with their devices NEVER include any kind of debug information. Maybe you should ask for them, just because by searching for this debug information they might solve the problem themselves. Most Android systems and kernels report a LOT of information, that we can access with simple commands such as dmesg.
Last but not least, I would like to thank you, ROM developers and XDA users for allowing me to play this way with my phone, and to make it work exactly the way I want.
Hugo G.,
ummm this device has kangbang?? (btw questions go into q&a )
so i'll move onto the TL;DR which i was grateful for
1) The rom thread should say what kernel but yes, we don't have s-off so flashed manually
2) Ignore rom manager don't touch it
3) think of it as the differences say with debian vs ubuntu vs mint all basically debian but all with they're own differences (pros and cons)
also about the "suggestions" to the devs, that will NEVER go down well, why should YOU suggest to use what to put in the threads also i know in my threads i ASK for logcats time and time again...
hope this helps
if you need more info i'll be welcome to add more, but 1st i need sleep BADLY
Yesterday I bricked my brand new P8000(B) - the new version with Marshmallow 'out of the box' (and the new SIM slots etc...)
I tryed to reflash several stock- and custom ROM's but they don't work because they are made for the 'old' version and there must be major differences in the hardware. At the moment the main problem is that the LCD driver is wrong and the display shows only lines and blurry spots
The Phone was running on ROM "P8000_6.0_20160516" - this ROM is not available at needrom or bbs.elephone.hk even Google doesnt know
It would help a lot if some could supply the ROM "P8000_6.0_20160516" - thank you!

I can do nothing else than blaming you, I wrote a reply yesterday to the eragon forum that there's someone else who flashed -not even a custom rom- just the root .zip that was for the "old" p8000 and got his phone bricked the same way as you (LCD driver problem). That's why I asked for a dump/backup. It could have been useful for you too (as in this case) and for the other guy too. But nevermind, I hope that you learn from this for later things... anyways, the other guy has contacted elephone on their facebook, so I hope you'll get the rom so you can use your device again. Good luck!
I have this version too, just got it today.
If someone can explain to me how to create the scatter file and the backup, I'll do it.
I have some experience with this stuff, but MTKDroidTools tells me unknown rom structure.
Any help?
I do have the same problem (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/general/rom-p8000-t3431571 ). I just wanted to root the phone because I liked to change the wifi modem file but i didn't even realize that I got another version of the phone at this point, so I bricked it.
I also contacted the support via facebook, but the support guy had to ask the engineers for help.
But maybe someone can help Emileh taking a dump of his phone, that would be really great!
@ardrift
you are sooo right but I have'n expected that two phones of the same type contain conplete different hardware respectively the firmware is not supporting both hardware versions. Even the manufacturer does not metion to check the hardware version before flashing...
@Emileh @flo1k
I do have a second 'untouched' P8000(B) too - and I'm starving to copy the firmware from this working phone to the faulty phone if someone could explain how...
problem solved
flo1k managed to get a stock ROM for this hardware version - the softwarepackage is named K06TE-A.A.vR14.E1.160707 and should be available at the elephone forum soon....

Hi all,
I'd like to install Lineage OS on a Wiko Sunny Marshmallow 6.0, kernel 3.18.19.
Lurking around I found the GM CAdiom page, but nothing there that linked to downloads.
I also found in other sites the lineage-14.1-20180307-UNOFFICIAL-z5 and the lineage-14.1-OMS-20180308-UNOFFICIAL-z5 version, but I'm wandering if they are really compatible, as I see that specific ports do exist for a large variety of other phones.
Moreover I have yet not clear the install procedure, as it's said to install on the SD card ad then flash it. Those packages
are zipped, so instead of flashing I'm expected to "install zip"...
I have also seen the Robanoid post, where there are no replies...
Please, can anyone explain it to me?
TIA

I don't think there is any chance for SUNY wiko. Buy a different device.
Hello,
maybe one of you can help out with an actual tutorial/step by step and avialable and actual download links ?
i have here an Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 of an Friend and he want to use it with his german SIM Card. The device itsels is from and locked with
DRE Three (3 Hutchison) SIM network lock from Austria.
Android 4.1.2 ( Flashed back to it from Lineageos 14.1 )
TWRP (also back to stock for 4.1.2)
And this guys from Three want 50€ for an Unlock for a Smartphone that is so old and no longer in a contract. Thats rediculous.
So when i understand it corretly if the old method doesnt work because there is no entry
Service MENU: *#197328640# or with other like Lineageos *#*#197328640#*#*
MENU NOT EXIST
Current Command is 186
A simple way is to flash a new Modem ?!
Or change/flash a nv_data.bin ?!
The Problem with your website here is that the informatiosn are spread around everywhere and when you have found a good thread than the Downloads got removed like here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/17-02-2013-samsung-network-sim-unlock-t1731931
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/leaked-firmware-i9300xxugmk6-android-4-t1835931
Why isnt the OLDER version of the Unlocker available ?
Why got the firmware Downloads removed and not replaced ???
Why no Info ? Links ? Why everything so complicated ?
Also for other models not only this old one.

I don't have this variant myself and it looks like your inquiring about "SIM Unlocking" the device.
The following thread should still be good for what you're looking to do that's specific to your device and variants. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within it too.
