it was funny how I realized mine was the new version now
I made this thread here so you guys can discuss, this is for information to others who have gotten the new elephone
1) How do we get root ?
No, there isnt any proper recovery last @Emileh ported it did not work very well you are able to flash it the recovery but you are unable to boot back into the system it just stuck at the elephone logo.
2) as of now we only have one rom that has been up here and running K06TE-A.A.vR14.E1.160707 (2016 Version)
K05TS-A.A.vR1E.E2.160217 (2015 Version)
3) cosmetic mixed up (happens alot on chinese phone)
my front is the old 2015 version cover but my back is the new fingerprint cover (possible you can confirm with that is the new elephone you have if you are not sure.
4) so no root and no cyanogenmod and no recovery ?
as of now Im not sure about root, cause I did tried to flash recovery from @Emileh but I could not boot back to android os, so we cant flash supersu,
kingroot and others dont work !
also there some memory layout changed, so it will render the android 5.1 roms useless, please dont try unless you know what you are doing and know how to recover from mediatek usb port
5) will CyanogenMod 13 work ?
to be honest we need a fully working recovery.
maybe there can explain and clear anything more that I left out, I have just gotten the phone
@skeleton1911 @BlueFlame4 @Emileh @Deepflex
somehelp would be nice. thanks would be nice to get cm13 for both the 2015 and 2016 working
Hey,
well the 2015 and 2016 versions are basically two different devices - despite having the same name they share very little. A unified CM 13 build is thus not only difficult to establish but I would even say that it makes things more complex than developing two single versions. That said, CM 13 for the 2016 should be rather easy to bring up because it ships with 6.0. Basically you could take Deepflex's P9000 tree, change it according to the 2016_P8000 and boom - should work. With that you can then of course also compile a working recovery to achieve root That's the theory at least
Is that so but we have yet to achive root and figure out what is the internal changes between those two? Maybe @Deepflux can lend a helping hand in this wish you could help out @BlueFlame4, cause I finally had the money to get this phone possible if you could look into the recovery issue on why it does not boot after flashing it aka bootloop at elephone logo
** Attempted to Port and it does not work. did repack twice.
Hey. Just saw this topic.
I made a better version of the recovery (but forgot to post it), which is actually able to flash roms. It now also mounts everything properly. Flashing root on stock rom works 100%. (only thing not working in ADB, I think).
I will upload it later.
Problem is, there are no roms (expect stock, which you flash using SP Flash Tools). You can't flash the roms that other have made for the old version of the phone. Doesn't work like that.

yeah @BlueFlame4
mention something about cyanogenmod from @Deepflex, could it be this ?
https://github.com/Deepflex/android_device_elephone_p8000/commits/master
hopefully we can get cyanogenmod working, possible if you release the recovery ? is it TWRP ?

I was talking about this. You have to adapt it to the P8000 and have to use a 3.18 kernel (+ M blobs) though.
there isnt any 3.18 kernel that was released right ? m blobs can be extracted question is why won't your cm13.1 work on the new elephone ? memory changes ? it is still same soc right or there is something different quite confused.

Greetings everyone. I wish to know more about flashing Resurrection Remix...
I watched the brief instruction on official XDA thread but I wish to know more detail...
- Current Phone Status -
My G3 D855, 32 GB memory, is running stock Android 4.4.2, ROM version “V10n-HKG-XX”, stock recovery, rooted with PurpleDrake (script by xda developer”. Kernel version 3.4.0. All things are stock except I have rooted, with SuperSU.
- Reason of wanting to flash Remix ROM -
I wish to change resolution to 1080x1920, even 720x1280. So I did this using build.prop editing and “wm size 1080x1920”，“wm density 480”. However in stock rom, build in LG apps like Phone, Messaging, Calender will crash. I fix this by installing Xposed & app settings with DPI 530. But I don’t quite want this to be the solution...
Plus I noticed there really are battery difference between 1440x2560 and lower resolution. So I started to think about custom Rom. I found that Resurrection Remix and Paranoid Android are quite slim, good looking, most importantly very customizable.
And Stock ROM has many software that I don’t need, so I wish to give it a try.
- My question -
I haven’t flash any custom rom before (I have flashed on my previous phone but messed up quite a bit).
- So I wished to know what is the prerequisite, anything that need to pay good attention into? I want to avoid bootloop or hard brick...
- Should I install official TWRP recovery on my current status and make a full system backup image? (is that called nandroid backup?)
- If any error occured, can I use TWRP recovery to restore everything in my current status (everything in stock but have root access)?
- Are the custom roms contain build-in Root access? Because I want the phone to be rooted.
- I use LG Flash tool 2014 to flash stock firmware kdz files), with CRC method to completely wipe the phone and back to stock. Is this method still applicable if I want to back to stock after flashing RR rom? Because I want everything to be clean each time I flash a new system...
- I watched YouTube video that changing AOSP rom resolution won’t mess up icons or apps. So I can still receive SMS, dial, calender sync to Google etc. Correct?
--------------------
Finally, I wish to flash the latest STABLE version of the Remix ROM / Paranoid Android ROM. Would be good to hear some recommendations. I wish things to be more customizable and slim. Thanks for reading this long article in advance!
I am looking for a ROM that runs android nougat. I have a rooted device but have never installed a custom rom on it. Right now, it is just running 6.0.1 MOB30X, the latest update on stock. I want to upgrade to Nougat, but I don't really know what options are available. I want to keep my device close to stock android, like it already is. So, if someone could tell me what ROMs are available and which ones are the most popular and best?

If you want to keep close to the stock android the closest is the official lineageos build. All others have added features which may or maynot affect batterylife and performance.
LineageOS or AOSP will get you what you want.
crDroid 7.1.2 v3.3
Just fantastic! Add the elementalX kernal and buttersmoth experience!

In my experience no version superior to "Android 6" works well "out of the box" with full working applications of estreaming like youtube, netflix, etc .. and sometimes problems with root, my recommendation if it will be "Android 6" is still better Stock rom. Neither lineage nor much less AOSP and any derivative.
Newbies to all these updates and ROMs releases. I spent a good amount of time dumping various ROM.
I tried Lineages, Droid, Resurrection Remix. I think ASOP is Lineage?
All the ROMs above works well but I could not get gapp to going. Keep saying wizard error when starting up. Gapp is basically play store.
I tried that mini gapp bean and the open gapp 7.1 pico. They both fail during start up. It was trying to run the google apps wizard and keeps failing.
I ended up with Nitrogen-OS-flo-20170316 ROM. Let this ROM flash first than, reboot, go back in recovery mode and flash the Gapp 7.1 pico. This was the only way I can avoid the wizard failing during startup. Everything works except Latest netflix app failing. Get the apk from mirror apk and make sure you get the older apk version 4.2. Don't get the newest 5.x netflix release.
Resurrection Remix ROM looks cool. It's suppose to be faster than Linage.
Since everything is work for me with Nitrogen. I'll stick with nexus 6 Nitrogen for now.
or until someone prove me wrong. Or know why I am having all sort of issue installing Gapp pico on Resurrection Remix, Linage, or that Droid version.

I am not sure if Android 6 or marsh mellow is the best. After I flash with Nougot. It's a lot faster. Loving it.
Hi guys, I just bought a Nexus 7 and i updated to latest official 6. Then i find out OTG Support doesnt have support for exFat, only FAT32. If i try to do Nougat, will it gain exFat support for OTG?
Also can anyone take my nexus 7 and do it for me for like $20-$30 as i am completely illiterate on all of this...

This depends on the rom or kernel as much as whether it is Nougat. LineageOS supports exfat and has clear instructions on how to install it.

Need to rollback, or be advised of any custom ROMS that work..
Try Elite ROM from ROM section. it should work fine.
I personally would not recommend installing Elite ROM as it is more hassle than it is worth when you try to switch ROMs. It re/debrands your device and even after restoring a nandroid your audio will not work nor will your camera function properly. What files have bad keys? I put a lot of those up and the keys should work fine....
@shashank1320 check the links in the BLN-L24 section....something got messed up when you copied my links as mine work.
@ghostair is your device bricked? IMO none of the ROMs for this phone are worth installing on a main phone because there is too much functionality lost, no disrespect to the devs. Elite ROM does have the least amount of bugs but it is a hassle as I mentioned earlier. My main gripe about it is when installing and uninstalling apps you must restart the device in order for the apps to be added or removed from the app drawer....its a major annoyance.

Let me check mate. Thanks for pointing that out.
No it's not bricked, actually I am on TWRP 3.1.1-0, it was only EliteROM's version that didn't work. I haven't even been able to use the phone at all, for a week, and am currently on LineageOS 13 as it was only release that works for my model it seems.

Im confused....your original post says you need to rollback but you say you are currently on LOS 13?? Rolling back refers to downgrading from Android 7.0 (Nougat) to 6.0.1 (MM) but you are already on MM if you are running LOS 13. You also say your device is not bricked but then in the next sentence say you havent been able to use it at all for a week.....and lastly you say LOS 13 was the only release to work for your model yet every single ROM in the development forum can be flashed to the BLN-L24, I know because I have done it.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Your posts are contradictory and make no sense. Id be glad to help but you gotta give me something to work with here.
Im assuming you did not make a full backup in TWRP before flashing any ROMs, in which case you have learned a valuable lesson....always have a backup. But since you dont we will get you back to EMUI which I assume is what you mean when you say roll back.

I understand, I probably should have just used, "go back," to EMUI. Since LOS 13 isn't usable in the least, as I can't make calls, and it drops LTE.
If they work then how? I followed everything, flashing vendor.img with fastboot, then flashing the respective zip?
I'd rather not go back to EMUI, it's why I haven't been able to actually "use it as a phone," since purchase.
Why would you not want to go back to EMUI? Its smooth and everything works. EMUI is the reason you havent been able to use it as a phone?? There is not one single ROM for this device that works entirely and has full functionality. You're always going to be missing something whether its the camera, LTE, calls, etc.
You're going to have to go back to EMUI so you can update to Anrdoid 7.0 (be sure to make a full backup) and then flash away all the ROMS you like and you will see they are all broken in some way. This is most definitely not the phone to use if you are looking for polished ROMs.
My last tip before departing......download the flashable vendor zip if you still want to mess around with the ROMs, it makes life much easier. Its in one of the threads in that forum I think AOKP
Isn't there a better way to install stock based custom roms that uses Aroma installer other than changing TWRP back to an old version such as 3.0.1?
There is no possible way that Aroma installation would support on klte due to some issues. Sorry.

Well, do to the Facts, in which, using "Aroma" to install a whole Rom is not supported. This has not been fully supported from just about the beginning. As of Recent, early 2018...It was not being updated for really doing this! Also, As of today, I really have no clue why one would Need it, to install an App. Or Rom!!??!!?!
Now, knowing this, YOU pretty much Answered your Q! Rolling back to an older TRWP, would do the trick (I am not sure which one did ..at this time..been a while since I used Aroma..)
One would have to Roll back or use a Different and older Recovery Build. Seeing that you have asked this, here on Galaxy S5 thread. There are many older Recoveries, that "Did" Support that feature. Would have to look through the Threads.
Second, I am aware of any "...stock based custom roms ..." Really can't even think on one off the top of my head. There are other ways ( look through XDA- Galaxy S5 ) to install a custom Rom (Free-Droid) But again, Aroma was not, really meant to do a complete Rom (Yes, Google does have Apps, in which, one "Could" use Aroma, However, that is Installing "Their" Stuff.) Really not doing a whole Build! I Would actually Question a Rom, (Now a days) that would be installed that way.
Hope this helps you. Just trying to answer you Q
