Based On: AOSP
Version Information
Status: Stable
Created 2013-11-18

Tutorials
How to enter into recovery mode:
With ZTE V970 completely turned off, press and hold VOL. UP key and turn on the phone. After the splash logo appears, all keys should be released.
Navigation under recovery mode:
Stock recovery mode: As soon as the splash logo disappears, an image with a triangle and an Android will appear and BACK key must be pressed in order to access menu options. Navigation is made using VOLUME keys (navigate up with VOL. UP and navigate down with VOL. DOWN) and MENU key to apply the action.
Custom recovery mode: As soon as the splash logo disappears, ClockworkMod Recovery menu will appear. Navigation is made using VOLUME keys (navigate up with VOL. UP and navigate down with VOL. DOWN) and POWER key to apply the action.
How to flash custom recovery:
Download ZTE V970 CWM recovery and follow this MT657x flashing tutorial.
Warning: the package includes preloader, but there's no need to flash it. Make sure that you select only recovery to be flashed.
Flashing a new custom ROM via the SD card method (update.zip):
Read this guide to know more about ClockworkMod Recovery and how to flash a custom ROM.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Question: I can't install your custom ROMs. Why? What am I doing wrong?
Answer: First of all you have to flash a custom recovery into your phone and then you are able to install my custom ROMs. Read the tutorials on post #2 to know the procedures.
Question: I wanted to try one of your custom ROMs. Will I loose all my data after installing it?
Answer: Yes, you will loose all your data... unless you create a backup to restore after installing the ROM. There are two recommended ways to create backups of your userdata:
Doing the backup under custom recovery mode: navigate to backup and restore menu.
Using Titanium Backup to create a backup of your favourite applications.
Question: Can I fully revert to factory settings?
Answer: Sure, just download the full stock ROM and use SP Flash Tool to reflash the whole NAND.
Warning: the files are for V970, so if you are flashing a V970M make sure that you deselect preloader or else you'll get a brick.
Question: In phone specifications it's stated that it has 4 GB of eMMC, but only approximately 500 MB are available for internal storage... Can you explain me the reason for that?
Answer: The phone has indeed 4 GB of eMMC. Part of it is used by system and cache partitions, while the rest of the size is divided into internal storage (approximately 500 MB) and an internal sdcard partition (approximately 2 GB). If you find that an internal sdcard partition is useless (and have a big external sdcard), you can extend userdata partition (internal sdcard partition completely disabled). Jump into post #4 to learn how to apply that mod.
Question: Somehow I have got invalid IMEI numbers. How do I restore my phone's IMEI numbers?
Answer: Read this tutorial. Don't forget to say thanks to its author.
Question: Does my phone really have two IMEI numbers?
Answer: Every dual SIM smartphone based on MT65xx SoC has two IMEI numbers. Some just don't display both numbers on dialler when you type code *#06#, but if you go into Settings / About phone / Status / IMEI information you'll see the IMEI set for both slots.
Question: How can I access hidden MediaTek engineering mode?
Answer: From phone's dialler type code *#*#3646633#*#*.
Question: Are your custom ROMs patched to fix Android's master key (bugs 8219321 and 9695860) vulnerabilities?
Answer: No, but the solution to that is pretty simple:
Install Xposed framework (instructions on the support thread)
Install Master key dual fix module (instructions available also on it's support thread)
To check if system is vulnerable you can use one of the following apps:
SRT AppScanner
Bluebox Security Scanner
All credits to rovo89 for the amazing Xposed framework and also to Tungstwenty for the Master key universal fix.
Question: I don't have this phone, but mine is also based on the same MT6577 SoC. Can I still flash your recovery and install your custom ROMs?
Answer: Even though your phone is based on the same SoC, there may be differences in other hardware components. It is not likely that recovery and ROMs will work on your phone so you may risk to brick it.
Question: After installing Android 4.1 based ROMs, I'm not able to access sdcard anymore, even though it is accessible via CWM recovery.
Answer: Due to hardware differences between models, the included kernel is not compatible. The alternative is to flash the latest V970 kernel compiled by @superdragonpt, which can be found here.
ZTE V970 internal memory re-partition
Initial notes:
Make sure that you have a full nandroid backup of your current ROM. If not, boot into recovery mode and make one. This is very important if you want to restore userdata after internal memory is re-partitioned.
Also make sure that you have a backup of your internal sdcard because it will be fully erased and disabled.
Warning: the package includes preloader, but there's no need to flash it. Make sure that your selection is according to the screenshot bellow.
Instructions:
Copy disable_internal_sdcard.zip to external sdcard (read note bellow)
Shutdown the phone
Open SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00 (or higher) and load the scatter file
Flash MBR, EBR1 and RECOVERY as shown on the next image (read flashing tutorial first):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After flashing is complete, boot into recovery mode and format /data
Optionally, if you want to restore previously saved userdata, go to nandroid backup / restore and restore data (advanced restore feature)
Install disable_internal_sdcard.zip file through recovery mode (read note bellow)
Reboot your phone and enjoy your extended userdata partition
Important update: All the new ROM updates which include AROMA installer also include a script to automatically disable internal sdcard if extended userdata partition is detected. Dismiss the part of the instructions that refers to the installation of disable_internal_sdcard.zip file (a must if you have installed a JB based ROM). All the rest of the procedure is still valid and must be done before installing the ROM. That said, if you are going to apply this modification, you must re-install the ROM.
Hi Bruno! How are you...nice to see you here! So i will try on my etotalk phone!
Hello,
I think it is time to change my phone from Lenovo A750 to ZTE V970.
Sent from my Lenovo A750 (Smilevvv 4.0.3_623_V3 mod)
Just a simple but important request for all users: please do not host my files in any other mirror. Just refer to this main thread here.
Bruno, is using ZOPO MT6577 USB Driver for this update OK?! Problem was, on etotalk installed recovery 5.xxx the ROM Installation has aborted!
When i use the MTK Preloader i have do same way like on ZP200 ICS update, so when i use SP Tools from this, i have to put your recovery image into flashsoftware and boot image from your ROM too!? Sorry for this question, but every try of installation aborted....
It should be fine if you have used SP Flash Tool before with any MT6575 phone because then you already have MTK USB VCOM driver installed.
You just need to flash recovery.img using SP Flash Tool (in the middle of my tutorial you will find the instructions on how to flash recovery). Then boot into recovery mode and update the ROM.
OK, let`s try! THX my friend, nice to see, that you will have this phone too!
I sold my HTC Wind last week and my ZP200.... so i will have this, and the ZP900 too in moment as china Model by etotalk.com!

Hi all I bought this phone too, awsome phone and I found this great thread here in XDA... Is it possible to share the etotalk ROM for the V970? Or this custom ROM from Bruno is a better ROM?
Mostly Bruno`s ROMs are much more effective, i used on many phones his ROMs and they are free of chinese things, working faster! So try this one! I will not upload any ROMs by etotalk, because we have agreement about, like i respect Bruno`s statement. Don`t share!
Bruno, where do i get APX drivers or MKT chipset drivers for this phone?

I don't know what you mean with APX driver. The only drivers you may need are MTK USB VCOM drivers (to flash your MTK phone through cable, using SP Flash Tool) or the normal ADB drivers from Google (for the ADB interface). MTK USB VCOM drivers are available on my 4shared folder along with the latest version of SP Flash Tool.
Petteri said:

Just download the full stock ROM for V970 (from my 4shared folder) and you will get the correct scatter file. Please be sure not to use preloader or DSP_BL images from other phones as you may brick your device.
i just figured that i have a phone with Tegra chipset, so can't use your ROM

Yes, ZTE Grand X (with Tegra 2 chipset) is very similar to ZTE V970, but not the same phone.

Really? I don't have any CID problem and as far as I know it is not an IMEI issue. It depends on the network operator.
Anyway, check out cybermaus thread to know how to change IMEI numbers.

Question: I don't have this phone, but mine is also based on the same MT6577 SoC. Can I still flash your recovery and install your custom ROMs?
Answer: Even though your phone is based on the same SoC, there may be differences in other hardware components. It is not likely that recovery and ROMs will work on your phone so you may risk to brick it.
Huawei U8836D internal memory re-partition
Initial notes:
Make sure that you have a full nandroid backup of your current ROM. If not, boot into recovery mode and make one. This is very important if you want to restore userdata after internal memory is re-partitioned.
Also make sure that you have a backup of your internal sdcard because it will be fully erased and disabled.
Warning: the package includes preloader, but there's no need to flash it. Make sure that your selection is according to the screenshot bellow.
Instructions:
Copy disable_internal_sdcard.zip to external sdcard (read note bellow)
Shutdown the phone
Open SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00 (or higher) and load the scatter file
Flash MBR, EBR1 and RECOVERY as shown on the next image (read flashing tutorial first):

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After flashing is complete, boot into recovery mode and format /data
Optionally, if you want to restore previously saved userdata, go to nandroid backup / restore and restore data (advanced restore feature)
Install disable_internal_sdcard.zip file through recovery mode (read note bellow)
Reboot your phone and enjoy your extended userdata partition
Important update: All the new ROM updates which include AROMA installer also include a script to automatically disable internal sdcard if extended userdata partition is detected. Dismiss the part of the instructions that refers to the installation of disable_internal_sdcard.zip file. All the rest of the procedure is still valid and must be done before installing the ROM. That said, if you are going to apply this modification, you must re-install the ROM.
Please also note that this mod should only work with my custom ROM installed. Be warned and please do not blame me if you run into some problem while applying the mod over stock or any other custom ROM
Thanks Bruno for the recovery image. I will get it flashed when I am back home.
I have noticed that actual phone reception signal levels are lower than my W3+ Thl phone. Have you noticed any difference in signal levels where you are against your ZTE 970? It may be just the algorithm they use on this one.
I love the tricolour led but lack of tts settings is a little annoying. Overall, I am very pleased with it so far though.
Thanks Bruno - I look forward to some custom ROMs - I'd managed to dump the entire original ROM last week having made a scatter file then add Gapps but nothing else. I'm completely new to modding and happy to do any testing etc. My phone had the original factory ROM.
Yes the signal reported does seem on the low side. The battery drain does seem a little high as well so far even when not constantly playing with it!!) - wonder if the CPU governor is set properly?
Edit - gave the phone a good full charge overnight - before using it today and down to 90% after 12 hours - with little/no use - so about normal for a smartphone. Probably hadn't charged it fully before!!
Thanks Bruno, my phone is at this time only paperweight, so I am waiting impatiently for your ROM.
Thanks for the recovery img Bruno.
For those of you who want to install the Huawei HiSuite app on your phone and desktop but can not get a link from the Huawei site here, I have uploaded it to 4Shared and you can download it from this folder here.This suite allows some syncing to be done and some backups etc. Full details on the Huawei website.
EDIT:
Bruno, not quite sure what happens but after flashing your custom recovery and testing it, I reboot and the original recovery returns! Just to make sure that I was not going mad, I flashed the custom recovery image again. I can use it, I have even done a back up of the system but after running the phone and a reboot, the original recovery returns again.
Is there anything to resolve this, are you having same problems? This is really strange.
EDIT:
From MSprecher
The custom recovery is allways overwritten by the stockrecovery when booting the phone. This can be avoided by rebooting from within the CustomRecovery right after having flashed it. There should be an extra-option after the reboot-command in CWM-Recovery to avoid this.
Enjoy Matthias

Yes, that happens with the stock ROM installed and the workaround for now is the one Matthias already told you. With my custom ROM installed that will not happen.
Thanks, the option to allways use custom recovery does appear and you have to confirm this option before first reboot. Thanks guys.
Bruno it will be great (i don't know if it is possible) if the new rom could aggregate the memories, i mean the same you did on the ZTE, putting the same storage for programs and the only sdcard is the external.
Yes, I plan to release the same extended userdata mod as I did for V970, but not integrated into the ROM, so that users can choose want they want.
Btw, i found now in my small experience with the device two problems:
- Some apps can't be installed (Asphalt 7, Sports Tracker, WorldMate, etc.) which were working in my previous Gsmart G1345. Is it due to the Mtk CPU??
- Comparing again the two devices, this one has a worse GPS, much more inaccurate and very slower in getting signal.
Lets wait for your fantastic Rom, Bruno.
Crake you are right, I cannot install profile scheduler+ or EasyProfiles Pro due incompatibility. DualSIM?
No, that is a problem of permissions. It will be working on the custom ROM, don't worry.

I have already enabled Speech category (Voice search and TTS output) under Language & input menu, so you'll be able to access TTS settings.
By the way, I will release the first custom ROM today. It will not support any additional language other than the default ones - English and Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) because I don't have time right now to do it. The support for more languages will only be included in the next version. Hope you all understand!
awesome!!
u know I have been waiting for a rom for this phone u8836D from day one, because i messed it up on the day i received it, especially replacing the system folder files etc.. just pain in the bum to not have a rom (even stock rom) handy. And it's been endless waiting...
when your first post came up, I opened your shared folder for like a million times to try to find the rom, but just recovery img there, i thought I missed something maybe and read all your posts another million times...
Now just 10 mins ago, it appears in that lovely folder just like a magic...
Will let you know how I go...
i haven't learned my lessons from my last 5 Android phones...all I want now is just clean system with google services on...
When we get that, we star talking optimization and who's ass is more sex lol
Okay, I have just uploaded the first custom ROM for U8836D into my 4shared folder.
Please read what are the fixes / modifications that I've made over the stock ROM on the third post of this thread or in the readme.pdf that's inside the .7z file.
Enjoy! :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: I forgot to say that this ROM clears all userdata, so make a backup first using Titanium Backup, for example. But please note: do not restore any contact / messages database. Let Android create it from the scratch or else, if you restore everything the CID bug will be there again!
So how do I restore (and backup) sms, contacts and call logs to avoid CID bug?
Simple: you don't restore. Just sync the contacts again with Google (or Exchange), let the database be built from scratch and that's it. It's either that or having the nasty CID bug back...

Then simply click the bat file and proceed with instructions.
CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY
THANKS TO RUSSIAN developer - Mr.Arsenev.
I have attached the link to clockworkmod recovery. But, the file is complete Rom. So, you have to download complete Rom files.
Flash through Smartphone flash tool and Good guide is here - http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.in/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
Remove the recovery file from the downloaded Rom files and replace the attached recovery file. I dont know to separetly to flash the recovery. If anybody know, Please help. So, while flashing only select 'Recovery' and follow the 'bm-smartphone' guide. Your downloaded Rom is not waste, because that is 23.07.2012 build. so you can use also that Rom. But anyway stock rom is best.
Link for 23.07.12 build - http://narod.ru/disk/60288821001.67...723_e1808_v75_hjy1a6x__Flashtool_4.0.zip.html

Dear friends,
I solved my problem myself. I got firmware from Russian friends and flashed successfully before 2 days. My only little issue is back camera gives inverted shots. I am searching for rear camera driver. Other than everything is well.
After sending mail to NXG , they sent firmware after 4 days. But that firmware gives error (flash scatter file is invalid) and I cant flash the NXG firmware.

@Galon123
dude, to back up your imei, your phone must be r00ted. open your root explorer or similiar, go to " /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ ". You will find a file named "MP0B_001", copy it to your sdcard or maybe pc/laptop for future use. So you can paste it into the same folder, and you get your imei back if in case you traped inside "Invalid Imei" problem.

Based On: AOSP
Version Information
Status: Stable
Created 2013-11-12

How to enter into recovery mode:
With ZTE V987 completely turned off, press and hold VOL. UP key and turn on the phone. Keep holding both keys, wait until the splash logo appears and then release keys.
Navigation under recovery mode:
Stock recovery mode: As soon as the splash logo disappears, an image with a triangle and an Android will appear and BACK key must be pressed in order to access menu options. Navigation is made using VOLUME keys (navigate up with VOL. UP and navigate down with VOL. DOWN) and MENU key to apply the action.
Custom recovery mode: As soon as the splash logo disappears, ClockworkMod Recovery menu will appear. Navigation is made using VOLUME keys (navigate up with VOL. UP and navigate down with VOL. DOWN) and POWER key to apply the action.
How to flash custom recovery:
Download the latest ZTE V987 custom recovery and follow this MT657x flashing tutorial.
Important: Use SP Flash Tool v3.1304.0.119 or higher.
Flashing a new custom ROM via the SD card method (update.zip):
Read this guide to know more about ClockworkMod Recovery and how to flash a custom ROM.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Question: I can't install your custom ROMs. Why? What am I doing wrong?
Answer: First of all you have to flash a custom recovery into your phone and then you are able to install my custom ROMs. Read the tutorials on post #2 to know the procedures.
Question: I wanted to try one of your custom ROMs. Will I loose all my data after installing it?
Answer: It is advisable to clear all userdata when installing my custom ROM for the first time. During installation, you can choose whether or not to wipe userdata... If you are willing to do so, create a backup before ROM installation so that you are able to restore it later. The most recommended way is to use Titanium Backup to create a backup of your favorite applications.
Question: In phone specifications it's stated that it has 4 GB of eMMC, but only approximately 500 MB are available for internal storage... Can you explain me the reason for that?
Answer: The phone has indeed 4 GB of eMMC. Part of it is used by system and cache partitions, while the rest of the size is divided into internal storage (approximately 900 MB) and an internal sdcard partition (approximately 2 GB). If you find that an internal sdcard partition is useless (and have a big external sdcard), you can extend userdata partition (internal sdcard partition completely disabled). Jump into post #4 to learn how to apply that mod.
Question: How can I access hidden MediaTek engineering mode?
Answer: From phone's dialler type code *#*#3646633#*#*.
Question: I don't have this phone, but mine is also based on the same MT6589 SoC. Can I still flash your recovery and install your custom ROMs?
Answer: Even though your phone is based on the same SoC, there may be differences in other hardware components. It is not likely that recovery and ROMs will work on your phone so you may risk to brick it.
Question: Can I revert to stock ROM? If so, where can I get it from?
Answer: Sure, you can revert to stock ROM if you want. You just need to download the stock update.zip and flash it through recovery. To get a clean install, be sure to wipe all userdata first and then install the .zip. After first boot you'll even got stock recovery back. Following is the list of stock ROMs, available from official ZTE website:
ZTE-CN-9B18D-P188F04V1.0.1B01
ZTE-CN-9B18D-P188F04V1.1.1B02
Question: Is there any service manual for this phone?
Answer: Yes, here is the official link to V987 service manual.
Question: Is there any video showing how to disassemble the phone?
Answer: There should be more, but this one should give you an idea. You may also like to know that the "back button problem" can be fixed following these instructions.
ZTE V987 internal memory re-partition
Initial notes:
Make sure that you have a full nandroid backup of your current ROM. If not, boot into recovery mode and make one. This is very important if you want to restore userdata after internal memory is re-partitioned.
Also make sure that you have a backup of your internal sdcard because it will be fully erased and disabled, depending on the applied modification.
Important: Use SP Flash Tool v3.1304.0.119 or higher.
Instructions:
Inital mod (fully extended userdata and no internal sdcard partition)
Warning: Use only with Android 4.1 based ROMs. Not compatible with Android 4.2 based ROMs, alternative mod should be applied instead (read bellow).
Download the first attachment and extract the files to your computer
Copy disable_internal_sdcard.zip (included in the attached .zip) to the external sdcard
Shutdown the phone
Open SP Flash Tool v3.1304.0.119 (or higher) and load the scatter file
Flash MBR, EBR1, EBR2 and RECOVERY as shown on the next image (read flashing tutorial first):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After flashing is complete, boot into recovery mode and format /data
Optionally, if you want to restore previously saved userdata, go to nandroid backup / restore and restore data (advanced restore feature)
Install disable_internal_sdcard.zip file through recovery mode
Reboot your phone and enjoy your fully extended userdata partition
Alternative mod (2GB userdata and remaining space for internal sdcard partition)
Note: Can be used with Android 4.1 or 4.2 based ROMs. This one extends userdata partition to 2GB (stock size is 1GB) and the rest of the space remains for the internal sdcard. This was released in order to cope with some difficulties I had making the previous mod work with Android 4.2.1 based ROMs, so for that case this is in fact the only working mod.
Warning: If your phone has an Android 4.1 based custom ROM installed, already working with the initial mod and want to upgrade to a newer custom ROM, then this must be applied.
Download the second attachment and extract the files to your computer
Shutdown the phone
Open SP Flash Tool v3.1304.0.119 (or higher) and load the scatter file
Flash MBR, EBR1, EBR2 (read flashing tutorial first)
After flashing is complete, boot into recovery mode and format /data
Optionally, if you want to restore previously saved userdata, go to nandroid backup / restore and restore data (advanced restore feature)
Reboot your phone and enjoy your extended userdata partition
Bravo Bruno!
I am happy to be the first to reply in your new thread!
My ZTE V987 left Asia yesterday, I hope to see it soon.:good:
Thank you and I am user of V987 for few days.
I experienced a problem of auto switching flight mode during talking, which cut the call. It is like one or two times per day. Hope your rom helps.
BTW, the download link does not work.
ROM was being uploaded. Upload is finished, enjoy and don't forget to leave feedback!
Thanks Bruno, Just ordered mine, so hopefully here when I get back from my break and will be able to get your custom ROM installed. Some reviews say that this will work with 64G micro SD cards, do you know if this is true or is it really just 32G?
I have posted the specifications according to the official ones (found here), but I also suspect that 64GB microSD cards might work. I don't have one, so I can't test and be totally sure of that.
i am waiting also my zte...u have done great job!continue like this!!!thank you!
Hi Bruno,
I have been using your rom for my ZTE V970. It has been great, I do like it, and no longer stuck with Chinese rom.
At the moment, new ZTE V967s, having the same chip (MT6589) as V987 is on sale in China. I would like to update my V970 to this new V967s.
Could you please advise whether I can use your V987 CWM Recovery for rooting V967s?
Thanks for all your works on ZTE phones.

Most likely not, kernels should be different and V967s won't boot into recovery. If you want by then, I can create a recovery for it.

Many thanks
I'm Spanish,
I've also received it two days ago, I've rooted, installed CWM and updated to 3.20 rom which solve problems like return button and SD.
Do you know any Multilanguage ROM?.
Doesn't have task manager(task switcher)? I've tried al the home button combinations.
Like this:
Which brand of SDHC
Dear All,
On ZTE V970 I had an error with LEXAR 32GB Class 10 SDHC card, it refused to work after some months, but later it was able to be formatted on PC.
Do somebody recommend which brands are most suitable for ZTE V987 smatphone? When we use after repartitioning, it works always, with high cycle numbers of writing and reading.

NOT Working:
Cameras (front and rear)
Needs further work:
External Storage, will be available once you take your SDCard off, and insert again.BUT can cause random reboots.
BT, will give you FC when you turn on, but it works OK
You tell me
In addition to the ROM changelog:
External SDCard: as I said it can cause random reboots, also if you reboot the TAB it can cause bootloops,in this case just remove the SDCard and the TAB will boot just fine. Last case scenario, remove the SDCard and wipe dalvik
Benchmarks: Well its noticeable the increase in speed and less RAM usage on the AOSP Betas.
Some guys are asking me why the Antutu scores are so similar with the stock Asus/And my custom ROM?
Well you should check the ram usage/FPS between the ROMs And since the Aosp doesn't fully support the external SDCard, this will give about less 2k on Antutu scores (Storage IO / database IO)
So... If you really want to compare Antutu scores, remove your External SDCard from the stock Asus/ V1.1r2 Roms.
Changelogs Rom 3

Hello Guys !
In this thread you will find my custom ROM And Recovery for the Wiko DarkMoon
Please be sure to read (and re-read) this carefully in order to avoid unnecessary questions.
Instructions and Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
For Instructions jump into post #2.
FAQ jump into post #3.

Recovery INFO
The salient features of Carliv Touch Recovery include:
Based on CWM 6.0.4.4
Full Touch Support
With features of Cannibal Open Touch
Aroma File Manager Support
Support for both Edify and Amend scripting allows flashing all ROMs
Touch screen button controls
Advanced Backup
Advanced Restore
Delete old backups
Persistent settings
User-defined backup locations
ADB Sideload
Update CTR v2.5 (30/07/2014)
Changelogs:
New Menu Layout
Tar + Gzip Backup Compression : ( "Backup/Restore" -> "Default Backup Format" )
Your Backups will be smaller now, just like on the old native CWM
Removed "wipe all" option from wipe menu ( if you need to wipe system, use "format system" from "mounts/storage")
Rearanged menu order in root menu to restore CWM order
There's now an "nvram backup/restore" menu in "carliv" section
The nvram partition will be backed up in clockworkmod/backup folder as nvram.img. This will help if you lose IMEI and other communication features. It will work only if you have the nvram partition of size 0x500000 (check your scatter) and if you have the nvram defined as /dev/nvram path in recovery.fstab. If the nvram partition is damaged (as in flashing an oversized recovery) this will not help you, and you need SPFlashTools to reflash with format your phone official firmware, and after that flash this recovery, boot in recovery and restore nvram.
some other small changes.

Hi
You guys are all crazy with the MTK leaked sources, but do you even have an clue what those sources are?
You cant just compile an source that's customize for other phone , thinking it will work on yours.
There's a lot of work to be done, and you need an huge amount of luck to have your phone drivers available in that source.
This said, I will appreciate that people avoid off-topic and other phones talk in this thread.
This ROM and recovery will only work on wiko darkmoon and Micromax a200 (clone).
If your using this ROM as a base for another MT6582 phone, please be an gentlemen and give proper credits.

Great work, thanks.
Do you know by any chance if there is any option to add languages to this rom? Wiko doesn't include many languages. I can use locale2 from google play, but that only translates some of the functions.

Hi
Yes i know, when i made a MIUI rom for my old ZTE v970, i had an hard time trying to find the proper strings for your language.
Even on stock roms from big brands, its very rare to find support for that language.
Im trying to merge and revise some strings from various sources, maybe in an future version.

Great, that would be awsome.
As for rarity of my language, I find it quite well supported. Google Nexus has it, all Samsungs have it, so does HTC, Sony... I know Prestigio and Gsmart have it. CM also. It's not a big deal, but nevertheless - I wouldn't mind having it
Great ROM btw, very customizable.

Hi
Well good news and bad news
The good:
I managed to Build an UNOFFICIAL Lewa Rom for our device, currently fixing the lastest issues and adding multi-language support.
So since im currently working on this language strings, might as well use that work for this rom also.
Preview pics:

The bad:
From what i gather until now, only about 100 slovenian strings are compatible (this is less than 5% of overall translation files), will keep looking
