[Q] How to compile a ROM - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi everyone on this amazing forum! First of all sorry for my bad english but i'm spanish... i'll try
Ok.
I've been trying to compile my own kitchen ROM but, I can't! Its impossible for me there is always an error i don't know where that avoids my success.
My phone is a ZTE SKATE/ ORANGE MONTECARLO. In order to compile i've been following that links... but I cant make them work.
-android.modaco.com/topic/353188-compiling-cm9-for-blade/
-wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/ZTE_Blade:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux)
And to adapt it to Skate instead of Blade i use that:
-github.com/tilal6991/proprietary_vendor_zte
My most common problems are:
-Impossible to download a full and working gingerbread.
-Impossible to use the extract-files.sh (it always shows me adb errors)
So here I am... desesperate because I didnt get anything for a whole month working on that.
I need Dev Help!
Hope you have a more complex guide or some way of making it work.
Thanks 4 everything.

[Q] Clockworkrecover? or NVFlash which one?

Hey guys Sorry for repost of the same questions im freaking out here... I just did some research (something i should have done before posting first , but im in freak out mode)....
Im stuck in bootloop after using the latest TnT lite...I would like to get that back .
I researched how to address this, however i see a couple of ways to get this thing running again, here is what I found:
Using Nvflash got this on TegraTabs site... does this require using my computer?
Here XDA... I saw that someone had the same issue and Clockworkmod Recovery was suggested.
OK this is where i am comfused If i use Clockwork I need my windows (vista) computer correct ? and it looks like I am going to be using command lines also (not a big deal for me)... I saw that i am going to need android SDk and also tegra drivers as well?
I am not looking for the easiest way looking for the best way ... Sorry for asking again however being a noob to Android I just want to make sure that I am doing things right.. is there any other information that would help you guys help me? let me know... again thanks you guys... still in freak out mode and dont want for my money to have been thrown away...I appreciate the help....you guys rock

Best way is to download the Android SDK (to get ADB), the Tegra drivers and NVidia's SDK which includes nvflash. You can get the Tegra stuff here or over at our sister site, tegratab.com (we started putting stuff up there while waiting to get our own forums here on XDA). To get nvflash access, you'll need to modify the Android SDK's INF file (if you're on Windows). Nvflash can get you out of almost anything. Best to back up your images using nvflash before you flash anything else, that way you've got a copy of what's on YOUR tablet as it comes, stock. Since you're stuck in a bootloop, I'd guess you no longer have any stock partitions so maybe just pick up the stock images from over on tegratab.com. They should be fine for you but it's nothing like having a pristine copy of your own images.
Hope that helps. Not sure if I gave enough detail but shout if you need more. We have some really good people here.
Yes you need a PC for NVflash. If clockwork fails then your going to have to NV flash back to stock.
Hey guys I would like to thank you for your responses

Ulefone N9776 e1911_v77_gq2000_a41_6628_v20) root

Hello everybody.
I have a problem rooting a N9776 bought from DealExtreme, this is the 4.1.1 version with the 3.4 kernel.
The problem is that it is impossible to root, at least for me. I tried every method on this forum (and others) in order to get it root, unsuccesfully.
This is a list of the methods i tried (as i remember).
- Bin4ry exploit (the first that i tried)[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460]= I click on restore, the phone reboot, nothing happend (no root, no SU.apk)
- MT6577 CWMR Root (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?8mxvy0ey5yfdu59)=
First problem: I cannot generate the recovery.img, i used cygwin's command to do it, but the image does not appears
Second problem: I managed to get all the links in the guide, but i don't know if there are the versions needed in order to get this done, due to missing links in the guide itself.
Third problem: cygwin says: "perl v5.14.0 required, v5.10 used", and i don't know how to upgrade perl .. or what the hell perl.
-SP Flash (tool http://colonelzap.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=n9770): I loaded the scatter file, pressed the "download" button, take of my N9776 battery, USB pluged in, put the battery back on, the process starts for like 2 seconds, and boom, error (BROM ERROR: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)).
Im getting a little bit to frustrated, and just to be clear, i will say two things:
1- I'm a complete and absolute noob on all this, i never rooted a phone before (only a tablet, wich was easy).
2- My english isn't perfect (as you can notice), so, sorry for that.
Can somebody help me with this?

[Q] Goclever fone 450 - Anyone? Anything?

Hello everyone!
Before i get to the thread i have to say that my english can got a little issues because im not using it daily. And second thing i got to say is that im newbie here, so if i do any mistake with section or something like that, just move it to right. So I apologize in advance.
Okay so here we go :
I got an Goclever smartphone, model Fone 450 with android 4.1.2 and my problem is that Gps didn't work in any configuration for me so i started to serach for any help with this stuff. I found a lot but every method needs a root. So i started to find a root method for my phone and here appear my real problem - I tried hudrets of methods and nothing didn't work for me. I thinks it's problems with a ADB . When I plug in my phone in manager i see "Android phone" > "Android adb composite interface". When I look closer in drivers i saw "HTC Dream adb composite interface" . So what is going on here? If you need any screens or informations to help me just tell, i try to get everything to make this working.
i see u guys can't help me?

P.S. I belive there is no custom roms yet, becouse i can`t find anyone.

I beg your help with my tf103c

Hello All,
I tried to find the best place in the forum to put this thread, i hope this one is ok.
Three days ago i made a big mistake trying to root my ASUS TF103C, i have downloaded a wrong zip file with scripts for ZenFone5 and execute a .bat that destroy the tablet (totally my fault). i spent three days reading and trying everything, i read all the forums and tried lot of fastboot procedures and also EasyFlash with stock firmware "WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher" but nothing. To make it worst (after reading a lot) i realize that i don't have recovery (power+volume down is not working) and i'm sure that my bootloader is locked (since i didn't unlocked) .... I don't know what else to do i'm sure it must be a way to flash a new firmware with fastboot, i mean, i don't want to loose the hope :crying: . At this point i really don't care which firmware , which android version i just want to revive the tablet.
I read this forum A LOT and i know you are experienced people with android and procedures like this.
PLEASE , can you help me ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
Hello Pr0sper,
i am quite a n00b too but i am suffering a similar error with my tf101 and was trying a lot too.
So just to make sure you did everything:
Are you able to connect your Tablet with your Pc? Is the PC recognising the connection with your Pc?
Is Cold-booting Linux available?
Can you start APX mode on Tablet?
Did you run ADB?
Regards

thank you so much for your help and sorry for the bother
Please refer to my post. May make it help or not.
When I try to burn rom with TWRP, img burns but it doesn't start and zip gives an error and cannot burn.
When I first burned custom ROM (unofficial AEX), it did not start, so when I deleted the data from TWRP, it seems that I deleted things that should not be erased, so even if I burn it from the zip file, with the error message in the image below I...
