Important Notes
Be aware, that installing any stock ROM, is only possible with a stock recovery on board, or with restoring the stock recovery itself - in case it has been changed. If you return your device to a service point with custom ROM or recovery on, it would void your warranty.
Also note, that we take no responsibility at all for any data loss, or damage you may cause to your device. Any modifications shall be carried out on your own responsibility!
The modified software will not unlock your phone. And we don't know about any unofficial unlocking methods either. However if you do, don't hesitate to share.
Useful tips for installing
Read through the current steps before actually start a method, and apply the steps precisely
Plug the phone directly to the computer, don't use any extension cables, adapters, hubs, etc ...
It's important that you use the rear USB plugs of the PC, instead of the front ones (doesn't matter in case of notebooks)
If you're not sure about the drivers, (re)install them. If the computer still doesn't detect the phone, then turn it off while it's connected to the computer, then press the (phone) power button shortly. The PC should find the phone after this, and install it (could be a solution especially for XP)
Try another USB cable, or if you have the chance, test it with another computer
Between unsuccessfull attempts, you can also consider rebooting the computer
Next v2 custom ROM with CWM recovery
Installing CWM recovery (beta)
Install the official ZTE drivers, if you haven't done it already.
Download this CWM package to your computer, and check it with MD5 Checksum Verifier for MD5: d69833693794242e78d990eec33cdb66, then extract it.
Go to the phone Settings > Development Settings > USB debugging > check it.
Plug the phone to the computer via USB.
Start the extracted recovery.exe file, and wait a bit. The process has finished if you see the press any key to continue ... message.
Press any key to close the application, unplug the device from the PC, and you're done.
The recovery is available by pressing the POWER + VOLUME DOWN buttons, from a phone-off state.
There are some custom roms, where you can get to the recovery from the power menu too.
You can step in recovery with the VOLUME UP and DOWN buttons, and use the power button for ok/enter.
Installing Next v2 custom ROM
All user applications (installed subsequently), settings, contacts, sms', etc ... will be deleted by installing the software, thus everybody should make a backup.
Download the Next v2 custom ROM, to your computer and check it for MD5: 09f15186c9fe031dd1f9572d682e14f5.
Copy the downloaded ROM_NeXt_v2.zip file (without extracting it), to the root of an SD card.
Put the SD card in your phone, while it's turned off.
Press and hold the POWER + VOLUME DOWN buttons, until the Intel logo shows up.
After the logo appeared, release the buttons, and wait until the recovery loads.
Choose the install zip from sdcard > choose zip from external sdcard option, and browse the ROM_NeXt_v2.zip file.
After the successfull installation, choose reboot system now.

Very good and, yes! Interested!

I want romanian stock recovery version: GXI_V1.0.0B01 Because my phone is that version how ever I bought this phone in Finland. But I'm assuming that is same stock recovery.
I need because my phone is freezing/booting. I was going to return this phone back to where I bought it.

Okay, since the Slovakian recovery is already done, and comes together with the Hungarian, Polish, and Macedonian ones to the OP tonight, the next will be the Romanian recovery, likely in the following few days.

Do you know how to get rid of root because I rooted with GXI_root_NGT and I need to get that away. Thanks anyway
EDIT: Stock Recovery question. Do I run that .zip file from CWM recovery? I'm just asking before Romanian recovery come

We don't have an unroot method right now, and not planning one either, so the best for you would be just to wait a bit for the Romanian reco and restore your stock ROM with it. And then the root will be gone.
Which .zip file? The custom ROM .zip file is for CWM.
The stock ROM .zip files are for the stock recoveries. The description is on its way for that.

I see now when I check they are exe files like connect your phone to pc with usb debugging and run that?

Yeah, they are pretty much the same as in case of the CWM recovery, you just have to make a choice with picking the original recovery after running the .exe

Will supersu be deleted when running stock rom? because I just restore my backup where root was not working but there is still supersu. Or can you tell how to remove supersu?

Which backup? The ZTE kind of?
Anyway, restoring a stock rom supposed to (and most likely will) delete both user and system data, so everthing, including superuser and root.

I backup with CWM recovery but root is not working in there. I used Bin4ry v18. Hoping that stock rom helps me getting this device to service. You take your time to do your best work. Thanks!
EDIT: I done Factory Reset and boom 30min of playing with phone and open up netflix BOOM Freeze!
EDIT2: So I can't return my device in warranty service with that stock recovery when it comes?

I can't seem to find the root file link, only the CWM and stock recovery files. Is it still active and working?

Well, it's quite much the same with stock ROMs, we didn't really do performance modifications. Without available kernel source it's to hard.
That's my stats with minimalistic use. But if I watch movies, listening to net radio, browsing a lot, etc ... it discharges in 1 day.

It seems like you're using a different Odin than the one that made the hash, most likely older. However, just take the .md5 string away from the filename and flash it as .tar instead. Unlress, of course, your file is from an obscure source.

Thank you

TWRP for Sony Xperia L - apk file?

Hello Everybody,
So, had to re-register and not allowed to post in the Dev Forum but to be honest wasn't here for at least 3 years but now back on Android.
Here a rundown where my problem is:
- Sony XPERIA L rooted and unlocked bootloader
- installed TWRP via google store
- booted into Bootloader and installed PacMan ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/development/rom-pac-t2749055)
- upgrade worked however none of the google services work
- loaded room a 2nd time - no luck
- did a reset and it removed all installed programs - incl. TWRP Bootloader
- Google Services still don't work and if I try to boot into the bootloader it's gone oO
So, I need to manually install a boot loader - as I am familier with TWRP I wanted to get the APK file but on the website I only find IMG files and the link to the APK file is gone.
If I try to boot into bootloader, it just goes into a black screen - need to pull the battery.
Thanks for any help.

Even during initial boot up, when you try to login to the google account it just came up with the error it can't connect to the services.
After everytime it just came up with the error message "Goolge Sevices have stopped" and you could just press "OK".
However, at the moment my problem is that the phone is basically useless - need to find a way to get into TWRP or get any bootloader on it via fastboot only.
Windows (W8.0 64bit) does recognize the USB device but does not recognize the phone.
If I use for example: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" it let's me change the boot image, but still doesn't work.
It worked initially with v2.8.7.0 but after I tried to reflash CM12 on it, it rebooted and since it makes the troubles
I went thru this list unsuccessfully:
twrp-2.8.4.0-taoshan.img
twrp-2.8.50-taoshan.img
twrp-2.8.6.0-taoshan.img
twrp-2.8.7.0-taoshan.img

With the above code you flashed the TWRP recovery to the boot(kernel) partition.
1.Download boot.img from the link.
2.Boot your device to fastboot mode and use
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
to flash the kernel.
3.Download any Xperia L rom to your External SD.
4.Now boot the device to Philz recovery by tapping volume up button in bootsplash.
5.If you successfully enter the recovery,then wipe system,data and flash the ROM.

Download ThunderZap 4.16.
Open the zip.You'll find the boot.img.Flash it in fastboot with the command I mentioned in last post.The kernel comes with inbuilt Philz recovery.So you can boot to recovery and flash the ROM.

I won't give up :silly:
Setup ADB in your system.Refer this Guide.
Connect the phone to PC and let the drivers install properly.
In ADB,type
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
Now try to reboot the phone to recovery.This should do the trick :fingers-crossed:

Hi,
didn't worked
When I run the ADB install it does see a device and tells me ADB is installed.
When I try to install the Xperia drivers attached in the Thread I get an error.
The hash for the file isn ot present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering.

I tried to force the drivers but it just comes up that there was a problem and it doesn't let me.
The phone shows up in device manager as:
"Alcatel ADB Device
|> ROMaster ADB Interface"
The only time it seems to get "recognised" is when putting into "Fastboot" mode (USB+Volume Up).
The screen is black and blue LED is on. The ADB command to change boot.img is working else nothing.
If I turn the phone normal on, I just see the "Sony" logo...
Or, if I do the bootloader, the blue TWRP logo what flicks every 5 seconds...

If you're on Windows 8,disable driver verification and install the drivers.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Also choose to manually update the driver and choose the Google Driver from 'Have Disk' option.Then it should install properly.

Good morning,
already done that. Enforced the drivers and reloaded the "boot.img" - same as before.
What I noticed, Sony Flashtool by Androxyde (v0.9.19.10) is now seeing the devices and it seems I can push ".sin" files on it.
I can only get the phone into Fastboot mode - in Flashmode (Volume down) it is not getting recognized by the software nor by adb (if adb devices works...)
If I could push a whole image on it...

AFAIK the only way to solve your issue is to wipe the FOTAKernel partition.
For that we require adb.Can you post a screenshot of the Device Manager in Windows when you connect the phone(while in twrp screen) to PC.?

Hi,
Thanks again for your help.
I attached a screen shoot.
If connected this is how it is show. However, I selected the driver out of 3 possibilities when installed the Sony drivers - so if it needs to be changed it shouldn't be an issue.
It comes up when connected in Fastboot mode and as well when try to run the bootloader (teamwin screen).
When I put the phone into Flashmode, it comes up as "Other Device > S1 Service" need to install the driver, the correct one.

Introduction
If you want to put root and TWRP on your device then you have to commit to this as there is no going back from Alcatel to Vodafone firmware after this unless someone uses the scatter file for this device to perform a readback (SP Flash Tool, search: Hovatek how to make a full backup of your stock ROM using sp flash tool, however, the dev blocks should be gathered straight from the scatter file, not MTK droid tools. Will update this if this happens it is successfully conducted by someone ) This little corner of XDA will show you how to:
Flash Alcatel Firmware
Install Custom Recovery (TWRP/CTR)
Root with SuperSU
Install one custom ROM (Cyanogen MOD 13)
NOTE: I will NOT teach you how to install drivers if you need to do that go to https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-440.html (If you are running Windows 7 and up you need to disable 'Driver Signature Verification', this link will show you how to do it: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-752.html
If you can't figure out how to that by yourself (everything is a google search away) then you shouldn't even attempt any of this.
All files will be on AndroidFileHost
If you want to download all the files for all the tutorials, then you can download the complete package which has everything required for the tutorials (except for drivers of course)

I have questions......
Since Google keeps crashing me out of apps and breaking my brightness control to send me ads and try to get me to install experimental zombies this past month, I'm keen to try this on my VFD501 Vodafone Smart Turbo 7 but.....
Does the initial step have to be Alcatel? I only ask because my SIM is 2 Degrees and I don't know if it'll work with it as it's a bit sketchy while it's still thinking it's a Vodafone.
Is the second step the ONLY rom it'll work with? How far can the hardware be pushed or more efficient?
Lastly, would I still be able to get updates for the usual app suspects? I'm getting further into Minecraft now there's online server games and I'm not finding any options for updates other than through the Play Store. I also watch quite a bit of YouTube on it (another Google aquisition). Would these be denied me by the EvilCorp™ once I free my phone from it's clutches and get rid of Google Movies, Google Mail, Google other bloatware aside from Books where I have several and would like to keep reading them?

HIe, when can we get the custom rom.looks great.

Do you still have the mixed Spanish English rom?
Could you post that please if you still have it? When i installed the cyanogenmod after flashing to alcatel after locking the screen and turning it on again it won't render properly anymore, i just see random lines. Thank you in anticipation!

guys, please can anyone make a backup (TWRP)of stock ROM with /system /data /FRP /protect /boot ? with any google account please.
i want to unlock FRP on my vfd500, i gorgot my google account on this phone so i cant go pass setup wizzard, thanks

So far you have to flash Alcatel to do any modding whatsoever, however, I may have a solution so we can get root on VFD 500 running Vodafone stock but not VFD 501 (however I'm begging my friend to borrow his to do a Miracle Box Backup so fingers crossed :silly: so I can get the 501 version of the Vodafone OS) if the solution works I will release a video on it, if you want to know if you have to flash Alcatel for custom ROMs yes you need Alcatel for the ROMs there is currently no ROMs for this device, and I don't know how to make and edit ROMs just gonna put that out their

Not working for me. Format completed OK. but then error "S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0)" given when doing the download and format. Vodafone VFD501, used scatter file provided, drivers appear to be installed ok except i get "MediaTek USB port" used by the firmware loader. "MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port" stays even when phone is not plugged in and had yellow triangle

Solved now using this rom and instructions.
Can't post links so google - Download Vodafone Stock Rom for all models - Android MTK and look for VFD500 in the list
The driver tool uninstalled lots of drivers i think this may have helped it use the "MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port" which allowed it to write to the phone. Took about 10-15 mins to boot afterwards, I thought it was stuck but just a slow phone

Hi!
I get a Vodafone_Smart_Turbo_7_VFD500 phone bricked and was very dificult to find a working rom, there are a few that boot but after locking the phone screen goes mad...
I fixed a RR rom, still not perfect but is better.
One kwon issue is charging with phone off, screen stays white and on...
I Let here a link with:
SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1916_Win
SP_USB_Win7_Drivers ( Copy to Desktop and execute the shortcut)
Vodafone_Smart_Turbo_7_VFD500_MT6735M_V2.39.1_21122016_6.0 ROM to flash with SP Tool
open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20191029.zip
RR-N-v5.8.5-PIXI4_5_4G.zip (Fixed) Rom
TWRP3.0.2-0_VDF500.img Recovey (Use SP Tool with MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt from Vodafone ROM to flash it)
To use SP tool, first install the drivers then open SP tool, search for MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt file. To install full Vodafone ROM click in Download only and select Format All + Download then Download key above and plug USB, to install TWRP unselect all and only select recovery and click in location field, search for TWRP, click in download from above and plug USB ( If faild with error you need to flash all Vodafone ROM first).
After all this, use TWRP to flash RR Rom then Gapps.

HTC BUTTERFLY S 9060 (China_dlpdug) Android 4.4 SENSE- 6 [ Link updated & working ]
Hello Guys,
It's been a long the device has launched though, still there are crazy users and developers spend lot of time on the device.
The ROM for this particular model has been very limited, I had to download from a Chinese website &of course which was a horrible experience with Chinese alphabets.
Well, I'm giving up the updated link. Follow the below process to install the ROM
1. Download the ROM.zip
2.Copy the zip file to your SD card
3.Boot up your TWRP recovery
4. Flash !
Download Here Part 1 | part 2 | 7zip to compile the file
Happy Downloading Guys :good:
