**Sometimes a bug appears on AROMA installer, it shows "please wait" but it's not loading, just tap on the screen and you will be able to continue normally. This bug is not MayaMod related, something is wrong with our device or recoveries.
Fixed in new TWRP 2.8.1.0 (thanks to @BENETNATH)

Great work, running without a glitch currently

rom is great-but now no google framwork(gsf id key) so playestore does not work.i used android device id and its gone.any ideas? thanks ian

yep, can't install anything through google play store. RPC error

Uhmmm... I'll find the issue and fix it. Thanks for your feedback!

I cannot reproduce the issue, I 'm able to install through Playstore and no problem with GFS ID... If someone could try a pair of things for me let me know.

No issues with the play store on my install.

Signature failed
I have a rooted Slatebook 10 X2 via the expensive cable and am trying to install the files above. However, when following the instructions and trying from two different locations, USB stick and Downloads folder, I get the same error message: Signature Verification failed.
Suggestions?

Which recovery ?

Which recovery?
It should be CWM, but after reading the original rooting instructions via the "expensive cable" method, it seems I will have to run the maya-0.1.img again and sideload TWRP, then install MayaMod.
I think what happens with the original rooting is that it is a one-time deal. If you want to make changes at a later date you have to run the .img file again to go into CWM and then make the changes.
It was forever getting my PC to recognize my Slatebook. I guess I am back in the ADB business, like it or not.

Flash TWRP 2.8 via fastboot and you won't need the cable anymore.

No more cable
Understood and you are exactly correct. Thanks.

Will not "SEE" tablet
I remember when I first rooted it using the "expensive cable" method and that I had a real challenge then and it was all about the USB drivers. Stupid me did not write down the steps so now I am having to go through the same process again, but this time with NO luck.
Does anyone have maybe a list of items for me to check out to assure that whatever conflict I have is removed and I can install MayaMod? It would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

A Solution for us non-techies
I kept trying to connect my tablet to my PC and failed miserably. So, I started trying ROM installers that I found in Google Apps. After trying 4-5 of them I came across FLASHIFY. It is FREE for the first three flashes and for $3.99 (US) you unlock it and can flash whatever you want.
I used my first two flashes to flash the IMG file provided via the "expensive cable" method and the TWRP zip file, both done as a batch. The TWRP zip file did not fully install so I used my third flash to reflash the TWRP zip file and this time it installed correctly. I then paid the $3.99 (US) and used Flashify to install the MayaMod zip file.
MayaMod is great, has many cool features, not to mention the opening screen.
Many thanks to everyone for your guidance.

Flashify app is used to flash kernels and recoveries from booted Android, very useful for rooted devices without custom recoveries or fastboot access. Free version is limited to 3 files per day but you can use Rashr app (included in MayaMod) which is basically the same but with no limit and for free.
Now that you achieved it, welcome to this thread and I hope you enjoy MayaMod.

Tablet 2 SD
Now, if someone will finally create a real app that really moves apps to an EXTERNAL SD card and will assure they will run from the SD card, we will really be in business.

ROM updated!!! Enjoy!!

Where?

will this (all your kk roms) work from cwm v6.0.2.8 recovery?
the attached "Root kitkat_SuperSu.zip" is only for this rom?
or, universal for your kk roms? btw, busybox not seen. will this do?

yes of course the rom can be flashed with any recovery above cwm 6.0.
actually kitkat support flash of rom from cwm 5.5.
yes the attachment is universal for all mtk6589 devices. so its named like that.
busybox already included in the rom as well a busybox app is added as sometimes after rooting viper refuses to install or it get installed but after reboot again ask for drivers which is issue with busybox.
so u need to updated it from the app provided (ss no 6)
This rom is odexed which gives issue of rooting and customization (viper installation) so we need to follow these given steps.

Busybox is useful for many things viper is just a example
viper changes audio effects file which is possible with root and busybox.
so i always test busybox function with viper:good::good:

Total 31 downloads.
This is one of the most downloaded rom after LG & android L.:good::good::good:

Good work, Avi. Very impressed with what you're doing for this phone.
Sorry that I haven't been too active to try any of these ROM's and give a feedback to you. Too busy with my exams and stuff.
Will try out one of these ROM's soon.

Sad to see that even though this ROM has the highest no. of downloads (I suppose), no one really cares to write a feedback.

My Phone came with JB. 4.2.1. First Xolo Q3k owner here, if you remember.
I previously had the same recovery installed, i.e. Philz. And the ROM I was previously using was XTREME V1 by you as well (pretty stable ROM, loved it. Wanted to try something new, so started messing around)

Oh, I'm currently using that ROM. And it seems good except for one thing.
For some reason, I'm not able to add a navigation bar via GB or any other Xposed Module. Tried a couple of them, but didn't work.
Edit - Alright, just checked. There's an option to add NavBar via Legend Setting in the settings. Enabled it, I got what I wanted. Will report back again if I anything.

Mr Avi, i want to download this rom but I'm not able to. When i follow the link, the file is not available there, it's saying file not available. Can you help me in this matter?

Bilingual CWM
thank you bilal for posting this procedure.
But it seems that in the link provided for "Bilingual CWM" , you linked another "360 root" .
I have the 4.3 with v 1.0.0B15 build version.
I will try your procedure when you provide the "Bilingual CWM".
Thank you for your help !

5kkkkk I need the google apps because I am spanish and I need the play store of google. When I read your message, I tried flash one custom rom from needrom.com (miui v7, and before it worked ok), but i have a very big problem since I uploaded to B16 stock rom; if I use other rom diferent of stock B16, the touchscreen does not work... I dont know why!!, but this is true... and only one when I come back to stock B16 rom.. then the touchscreen works again :S.
I have everything (root, recovery CWM english) ready for flash, if you can upload one custom rom with google apps for zte s291 please.. i am desesperated (my mother languague is spanish, and i know a bit of english for to write this, so...).
Maybe if that custom rom with google apps is based about B16, my touchscreen could works. These custom rom are in zte forums, but all are written in chinnese... and for me this is imposible.

Thanks for info, now I can download it too (don't know why i couldn't download yesterday)
Now I have problem with touch not working (after I tried this method of root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762565)
Any ideas how to restore touch?
EDIT:
To restore touch function, you have to replace corrupted boot.img using ADB (my software version is B11, i used boot.img from B17)
If you want to root, it's better to use english CWM (which includes root) than using methods posted on XDA

i need this version urgent ZTE_Grand_S_II_LTEV1.0.0.B16

Apply boot.img from B17 through adb and touch control will work fine (I had this problem after I've installed root)
Probably this is B17 software, but I don't remember (anyway - I've used boot.img from this rom to restore my touch control):

OR - maybe the best option:
Install CM12.1 (by alexeei) to fix problems with touch control:

CM12.1 in my opinion is best rom for this phone so far (best performance, battery life, no freezes)

6. Turn off device and Reboot into TWRP custom recovery. (by pressing power, home, and volume up button)

Thank you bro

Thanks Jonathan,
Installed fine, had an issue with "Checking connection screen" on first boot, took forever. Solution was to eject sim card and try again.
But wifi wont connect, can't turn it on. I had this issue with one other ROM.
Any idea?
By the way, thanks for crediting me

Hey Umair, First of all you have to downgrade your bootloader to C5000ZHU1API2 .. ANd then do the rest of the process. It will work

Cannot open TWRP mode
Hi guys. I am using Baseband version of C5000ZCU1AQC1.
I have already disabled FRP and CROM. And I flashed TWRP using Odin(success) But right now when I follow key sequence and try to boot into TWRP...
It brings me into Recovery.
I cannot access the TWRP.
What is wrong?
At this point should I wipe cache partition & data and then try updating the custom ROM using sdcard? Because if I try to click 'update from sdcard' it shows me that it is not possible.
Also. How to backup everything without TWRP??? This is so confusing. Since I don't have the same firmware version should I just not risk it? Please tell me.
If it's not possible in anyway I would break this phone in two if not.
