How about porting MIUI to start with?
I am already running MIUI Home Launcher and it is a breeze. Do you have any experience with porting ?
I looked at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827256 and it looks straight forward. What I am not sure is how much these applications depend on the underneath framework.. I mean, If I take all these apk and libraries, will it work on this stock Gionee Dream D1 ROM ?

Did you install the MediaTek drivers from the link above? Make sure you dont have the phone connected in the PDANet+ (Right click on the System Tray icon and click on disconnect. Also make sure you have USB debug enabled, under Settings->Developer Options.
If all the above fail try restarting the system and try to connect the phone to a different USB port on your computer.
let me know the results.

On my windows 7 ThinkPad, it has never been able to detect the phone over the serial console. Perhaps I'll try it on someone else's box.

Unbrick theory...
trying the one touch upgrade utility. it wipes all data in phone and installs a fresh and latest ROM for the device. i guess this will also fix a bricked device somehow.
after this i will try to root it again using MTK tools and ap flash tools with a different idea in my mind... hope it works this time...
[EDIT] UNBRICK METHOD CONFIRMED WORKING!!!
One touch Upgrade
Hello there I'm a total noob in rooting and unlocking bootloads. I just got the same phone as my first android phone and wondered how to root it and I end up here. Now I'm asking how did you get the one touch upgrade software. I've searched the whole alcatel website but I keep getting on the FAQ page. Would you be so kind to put up the link for the software because I kinda bricked my phone here. I was also wondering what speed did you use during your Bin4ry script root attempt? Normal or Special? Keep doing a good job. Thanks for having the time to look for ways to root this phone.

I tried the normal mode as Bin4ry said that the others might brick the phone it it wasn't the right model. did you brick it using the srcipt? any way. still trying to root it and finding help from rua1 that has a great knowledge in MTK phones...
here's the link of the upgrade utiliuty... just install it and choose alcatel 4030 (if your phone is s'pop) then power of the phone remove the battery and follow the instructions on PC and wait till it says plug the phone while powered off.. plug the usb (without battery) then wait for it to detect the device. when it loads, put the battery back and wait for it to download the firmware.. it will take hours to download it.. it's about 2+gigs... good luck on unbricking.. hope it works...
Phone unbricked
Many thanks for the software. My phone is now back to stock rom. for the Bin4ry I also tried Normal because I thought it was for tabs only. So MTK is the only course of action? Any news on fixing the 2 point horizontal bug? and the alcatel FAQ says there's this TCL calibration that you can activate to you know "calibrate" the touch screen. Do you also get the problem where in the stock alarm app alarms but you can't dismiss it ( I set it to crazy mode ) where you need to press 3 buttons to dismiss but still won't stop I really need to pull the battery out. Help please Thanks in advance.

Great. So my theory really worked. Glad you unbricked it. I'm getting closer to rooting it. Just having problems flashing the cwm. Ones I managed to flash it, rooting may be successful. I use Mtk tools and flash tools and get help from rua1. Didn't use my alarm before so i'm not sure about the bug. Maybe you don't have to set it in crazy mode..
I tried to set the alarm in crazy mode and everything works fine. Just dismiss, unlock, and tap the three buttons with numbers and your done..
Rooted, finally!!
I finally rooted the alcatel spop. I will make a guide maybe later how I did it...

Disclaimer: Your warranty is now void. You do this in your own risk. I do not take any responsibility to your device. This will definitely brick your device which is normal but follow the right instructions to make it work again.
Credits: This is tuts would not be possible without the help from the creator of MTKdroid tools, rua1 from XDA Developers. Thank the guy for his wonderful tool. If you wanna know how I did it, go to his thread right here. I also wanna acknowledge The Solutor and rimmon1971's efforts for porting the TWRP to our device. You can find The Solutor's work here.
Requirements:
1. A windows based PC
2. MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tool
3. Universal ADB driver
4. One Touch Upgrade S
5. Root script
6. Patience
7. Most important! Use your brain!
Important!
To make this work without errors, don't use other drivers available in the web. Just install One Touch Upgrade S first. It will install the USB VCOM preloader driver. It will be needed by the SPFT to detect the phone. Use the provided ADB driver for the MT65xx_android_phone. If ever you get stucked in an error and your device wont boot anymore, just use One Touch Upgrade and your phone will be as good as new...
Guide: CWM/TWRP recovery
1. Download MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tools, ADB Drivers, One Touch Upgrade S, and the Root script. Extract them anywhere in your computer.
2.Install ADB driver.This step is now optional to get adb working. You can now skip to step 5 if you just want to get rooted with CWM/TWRP recovery installed.. In your phone, go to Settings>Development. Set to on and check USB debugging.

}
3. Connect device to PC. Driver will fail to install (thats normal). Install UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
Note: in Windows 8, this will pop-up. do this:
4. After installing the Universal ADB driver, go to device manager of your computer. Follow the images as descirbed.
ADB commands should work now (if you have ADB installed) and you won't have any problems about MTK droid tool not detecting phone.
5. Be sure that you have already installed One Touch Upgrade S before this step. Open SP Flash tool and select the scatter file by clicking on the Scatter-loading button.
6. UNCHECK BOOT and leave RECOVERY checked. Disregard what is on the photo. There's are reports that the latest firmwares are incompatible with the uploaded patched boot.img.
Note: By default, the CWM recovery will be selected in the SP Flash tool. If you want the fully working TWRP-recovery (I recomment this because CWM recovery is not fully functional), just click RECOVERY and replace it with this file.
7. Click Download button. Click yes on the download warning. Turn off phone, remove battery and connect the phone (without battery) and wait until SP Flash tool detects the phone and watch as it flash the image.
8. If everything passes without errors, unplug the phone, reinsert battery and boot to recovery by pressing power + volume up.
9. You should boot in CWM/TWRP recovery. We are ready to flash the Superuser app to gain root.
Guide: Superuser
You can use mtk droid root and tools here. Just plug in phone to pc while still in CWM recovery. Run mtk tools, wait to detect phone, click superuser, then build.prop, then delete china. Your done. Or use the guide below if you have problems with it.
Using CWM recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on CWM recovery, plug the phone into PC again.
2. Navigate using volume up and down buttons. Press Power button to select and Back soft key to go back.
3. Select mounts and storage>mount USB storage.
4. Copy the root-glory-2-4030E.zip to your sdcard.
5. After copying, select unmount and go back.
6. Select install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>root-glory-2-4030E.zip and select yes - Install root-glory-2-4030E.zip
7. It will flash the app to the system including all needed binaries. I also included the fix-permissions banary which is missing from the ROM.
8. Reboot the phone and wait. It will boot normally and no data will be lost. You will see superuser app in your app drawer. You are now rooted!:thumbsup:
Using TWRP recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on TWRP recovery,Connect the device to PC.
2. Tap mount in the screen then Mount USB storage.
3. Copy the root-glory-2-4030E.zip to your sdcard.

bootanimation problem!
I changed my bootanimation and tried if it works using these commands which i normally do with my past android devices.
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the animation works fine but when i hit:
Code:
adb reboot
the animation showed was just android mask or android shine which shows when you don't have bootanimation.zip inside /data/local or /system/media. it's like a default bootanimation.
so once I booted, I tried again
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the bootanimation works but when I reboot, it's back to default.
I tried replacing back the original bootanimation.zip but it still the defaut bootanimation. It's very weird. I haven't encountered this before...

I have followed your instructions to the word. The YGDP download program keeps getting stuck after pressing 'Apply' after selecting the CPB file and version.
Moreover, the drivers that you have given are ADB drivers. I have installed them prior to all this. But my s5+ still doesn't get detected after I connect it to my PC without the battery. It says the driver installation failed. I forgot what was the device name that was being shown.
Could you please help me out. I have accidentally deleted certain system applications and need to get them back. Thanks.
The problem seems to be about drivers, if your phone is not identified, it wont flash, as i have installed a lot of drivers, my devices was detected automatically,
also make sure opened the program with admin rights.
As I do not have the phone with me, I could not do a trouble shoot with you, try to go to device manager and update drivers manually from local folder.

thanks. will try that. But apart from that the flashing program has an issue as well. I'm running it on a 64 bit win 7 machine and I'm opening it with admin rights as well. also I need to open it in compatibility mode for windows XP. after hitting apply on the ROM selection screen it freezes. I guess that has nothing to do with the drivers as the phone isn't even connected yet.
any idea what's causing this?
Thanks for such an informative tutorial. I have this phone. From where can I download Custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod for it? Btw, are you getting poor camera quality by any chance?

2. Flashing tool: YGDP_Setup_V3.31_131028_02_Customer
3. Drivers if required
http://www.4shared.com/folder/zSTN87aV/Karboon_S5plus.html
1. Extract the zips
2. Install the flashing tool YGDP_Setup_V3.31_131028_02_Customer.exe 9make sure you right-click and grant it administrator privilege)
3. Right-click and open as administrator the newly created YGDP icon in your desktop
Password : 9527
4. Select [config] button

This is what happened.....
I um... somehow changed the fonts of my android system to segoe ui through rom toolkit lite... rebooted it.......
now, i'm only able to boot into recovery..... i.e. when i try to boot normally, it just shows the loading screen forever..
i have android system recovery 3e in my karbonn titanium s5 plus...
tried the above method........... but no use.... it kept showing some checksum error.....
i cant use adb too except for adb sideload.... which i cant as i have damn less internal memory free space
what do i do ?
p.s send any solution to this to my email :
[email protected]
ps. if possible, could you send me some roms and recoveries compatible with this phone ??? (Karbonn Titanium S5 Plus)
i searched the internet and found nothing.... if anybody happens to stumble over something for this, please send it to me. thanks in advance.
Unhappy karbonn titanium x stock rom
please give me the karbonn titanium x stock rom and recoveary also...

check for your device model from coolpad and download the rom from coolpad romer accordingly...
check for the roms from coolpad romer in google drive
edit 2:
thanks to Mr Shrikar Galgali who sent me the rom from coolpad romer
use this link for the original rom ....
https://tr.im/20c3b
he also sent me a few other ROMs..
Here are links for ROMs compatible with karbonn titanium s5 plus :

Note : The above posted links for roms are not tried and tested ! Be Careful !
For some of the ROM downloads, you need to log into the respective sites...
Eg: You need to log in to your google account to download the Samsung Galaxy S5 ROM and the Xperia Z v2 ROM
Thanks mainly to the thunderboys team and all other developers of the respective ROMs whom I haven't mentioned.

Yep. My phone is fixed....
Had to go to the service center though....
anyway.....
For all those who damaged their System UI:

Here is the cwmrecovery.img file of karbonn titanium s5 plus, for all those who might need it.

( beware, the above link is not tried and tested ! )
hope it helps !
edit 4:
The MIUI ROM and the Sony Xperia v2 ROM work properly. For people who have boot issues, doing a full data wipe/factory reset through the recovery will solve that problem... MIUI is pre rooted, but chainfire's SuperSU app is not installed and there is no keyboard app. The Sony Xperia v2 ROM has SuperSU installed and works properly. However, a high amount of patience is needed to wait for the ROMs to boot up...
As mentioned by cybercrawler, the internal/external swap supposedly works, and appears to be already applied in these ROMs... so, if you are going to flash a new ROM, you had better undo this change...
The clockworkmod recovery file works too, as seen in the screenshots uploaded by cybercrawler... thanks to him for testing that out.
I shall be uploading some screenshots of these in a few days. Both the ROMs run Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2, and the MIUI ROM has a update scheduler app, so I'm guessing it can be updated to 4.4 Kitkat. Anyway... if anybody knows how to bypass Dropbox Error 509 ( This account's public links are generating too much traffic and are temporarily disabled ), please download the Xperia Z v1 ROM and upload it to Google Drive... I shall be uploading the MIUI v5 ROM to Google Drive within the next few weeks...

have you installed some custom recovery on your phone? I also own titanium x and was wondering if you are able to do that. I can share the stock rom if you still need it.
i guess so...

well, if you have any custom recovery images, you could do it through fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img )
else, if you have flashable recovery zip files, you could do it through adb sideload in recovery...
try twrp recovery... touch based recoveries are good for karbonn devices
take a backup of your current rom ( and recovery if possible ) first...
make sure that you know any karbonn service centre near you who can fix your phone if it gets bricked.
( i'm telling you so because when my karbonn titanium s5 plus bricked, it took a week and a half to get the phone serviced at the service centre. )
find some roms compatible with your device, and make sure you dont install new fonts or anything like that. rooting is okay...
try this link for karbonn roms
"goo .gl/ p0QK1m"
(remove the quotes and no spaces)
oh, and does anybody have an idea of creating a one-for-all rom that would work on any android device, be it tablet or smartphone ?
it could have the most basic features and could be based on android 4.4 kitkat....
it's purpose is mainly for backup... just in case no other rom is compatible with a certain phone and you can't find the stock rom anywhere...
please reply to my gmail id if you have any idea of doing so....
rajju 3004 @ gmail . com
(remove the quotes and no spaces)
Note: Never ever change or add any new fonts to a Karbonn device...

I am glad to see first person who rooted with the help of my tutorial and files. That also confirms the steps are perfect. Actually worked for me so should work for all. Thanks a lot for your faith and trust in me. Will be around for more developement and roms.
Success!
]I have rooted by iberry-auxus note 5.5 as per your guidance.
But the USB DRIVER not correctly installed.
I have updated the driver through device manager
My operating system is windows 7 ultimate x64
Everything went smooth as you instructed
Thank you for developing this guide to root the model.
:victory:
The USB DRIVERS can be downloaded from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180436
Using the note for about 2weeks. Rooted successfully. Titanium backup is not working properly. Any solution for it.
Also the network refresh is poor. So network switching is very slow and many times have to manually do refresh or reboot.
latest twrp recovery
while browsing through elephone p2000 thread I came across this link which gives the latest twrp recovery
http://n2k1.com/n2k1/ELEPHONE_P2000/
Downloaded the 8.77 MB file flashed the recovery file alone through sp flash tools
Working fine on our auxus 5.5 note.
flashing the preloader is not necessary though is it?
Yes it is not necessary

I am not sure if above USB driver is useful or not. But when you connect MT6592 Phone to PC without Battery, the PC shows a box with
"Searching drivers for YunOS system"
and if Internet is connected , it will download a tiny driver automatically from Microsoft site for Chinese Mobile Phones and an entry in Device Manager appears like
"YunOS ACB Interface"
Now Flashing Tool will automatically connect your phone to pc on next available COM PORT (COM3 or COM4 etc.)
So it is not USB Driver. It needs YunOS ACB Driver. You can find it separately somewhere on net, if searched.

No, Preloader is not necessary but in case it is wiped or corrupted, its good to flash the original provided by company makers. I have included all Preloaders directly from respective company stock roms

Seems drivers are not properly installed. These are new drivers by iBerry.
1) Uninstall any android driver you installed before from ControlPanel/Programs. Reboot/Restart PC/Laptop
2) Install this USB Preloader Driver http://d-h.st/kcH (from iBerry)
3) Then Install this SPFlashtool Driver http://d-h.st/vRd (from iBerry)
4) Reboot PC/Laptop/Computer , Keep pc connected to Internet on all the time. DO NOT yet connect phone to pc.
5) After computer restarts Run SPFT "flash_tool.exe" and press DOWNLOAD button
6) Now connect phone (without battery) to pc. Let windows install drivers, then flashing will start in less than 5 min. Dont wait for hours.
Hope this helps and inform if works.
PS: For GOD's sake do not quote whole opening post in your queries. Do you want me to read my own thread? Hope you have read XDA basic terms and conditions.
Rooted!

Thank You, I managed to root my phone with your help Mahendra. Also, my apologies for quoting the whole post. I suppose it needs editing including driver links. I also removed SIM card from the phone before rooting.
Rooting apart, I wanted to ask if there are any advantages/differences by installing your ROM? Can I not create a ROM by taking a complete image of my current phone's state? I was thinking about Xposed Framework. Not sure but your advice would really help.
Finally, I was wondering if there are any good flip cases available online. The local stores do not have any for this brand and model as it's fairly new in the market. The one from iBerry is Rs 990 which I think is unreasonable. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Also, is there a way to light up the soft buttons?
Thank You and keep up the good work.
Is there any chance of there being a cm11 port on this phone?
I don't like the icon size on the stock ROM and Titanium Backup doesn't work

I dont use or recommend Xposed FW. You can use as per your requirement. Works fine.
This is rooting tutorial. I will be happy if you stick to the rooting related questions in this thread from next time. A little XDA terms and conditions page will help a bit to you and us.
Yes, flip cover by iBerry is costly and even I am also looking for low-cost option.

For icons size to change use any other launcher, like google now or nova or any other you want.
Move Titanium App to internal memory or install Link2SD, check settings and then install Titanium Backup. plz google for more info on titanium.

For titanium backup issues try super user app by Koushik Dutta (flashable zip file link is available in play store). First uninstall super su from the application itself. Then install super user through recovery. Ignore the warning regarding su binary.
---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------
It worked for me. Just take a nandroid backup of your current rom before giving a try.

This thread is a work in progress. I'll post here info about our phone. How to root, how to backup, how to flash, etc...
A HUGE Thank you for your patience & your work @lopestom
INFO
This device is very similar (almost identical) to the Gionee M3 phone, so a lot of tutorials and ROMs for that device will also work for our device. However, as usual, READ first, before you end with a bricked phone.
It seems that the only difference between the D810L and the D810U is that the D810U also has a 1700 Mhz band, so, if you flash the wrong ROM and you're using that band, you'll loose connectivity. However, the modem drivers can be replaced cross ROMs.

TWRP 2.8.4.0 Jawad by @lopestom MD5: 9658c8377071cf936f95eb7ddb530f85 Please check on Mount that the external storage is selected, and also when you do backups, always check that the external storage is selected.
Philz by @lopestom MD5: a0b71f399200795ad662a2c2e083bbf8 You need to mount /sdcard1 and do backups there. Also, check on settings and disable sceen timeout, since when the screen goes off, it won't turn on again.
KERNEL
These are the kernel sources downloaded from the FTP provided in this post, and uploaded to MEGA. I don't know if this works or not yet, please if someone with proper knowledge can check it, let us know.
ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.10_GIONEE92_CWET_KK_BUILDABLE_PACKAGE.tar.gz
ROOT
The only tool that works out of the box to root our device is KINGOROOT.
Download, install and run. If you have driver problems, you can try installing PdaNet+ software. This procedure does work on windows 8.
Please let me know if you have any problems or if some info is missing, since I'd experimented a lot until I could root the phone, and I installed a lot of crap in the process.
BACKUP
You can find the necessary links on the first post, under Resources.
To create backups, you'll need to do the following first:
Root your phone.
Enable USB Debugging on your phone.
Enable apps from unknown sources (under settings->security).
Install and enable adbd insecure on your phone.
Install PdaNet+ on your computer.
Install MTK Droid Root & Tools on your computer.
Once you've done those steps, you'll see your device information when you open MTKDroid Root & Tools, and you can proceed.
To create a backup, please follow this guide: LINK. Don't download anything from that post, it isn't necessary. Just follow the steps.
NOTE: I'm not sure if you need to install busybox, since I'd installed a lot of thinks to make it work. If this guide doesn't work for you, please install busybox from the play store and let me know, so I can update this post.
WARNING: THIS WILL NOT WORK UNDER WINDOWS 8 !! Use WIN7 or XP.
Flash ROM or Recovery
You can find the necessary links on the first post, under Resources.
To flash a backup, ROM or Recovery, you'll need to do the following first:
Install MediaTek USB Vcom Drivers.
Download an extract SP Flash Tool 3.1344.0.212.
Download the Android Scatter File (or you can get it from any MTKDroidTools backup)
Power off the phone
Once you've done those steps, open SP FlashTool and select the Android Scatter File in scatter-loading.
You'll see then the things you can restore. If you open the scatter file from a backup, it'll automatically prepare everything to restore that backup. Don't change ANYTHING, and click "Download".
When the software is ready, plug the phone and it will do the magic. You need to wait until a green circle pops up and says "Download OK".
Then you're good to go.
To restore a recovery only (or install TWRP for example), do the above steps but untick everything except RECOVERY. then click on the recovery word and it'll ask you for a new route. Search and select the recovery.img for the TWRP, and then proceed with clicking download and then plug the phone, and you'll have the recovery.
WARNING: All the things I've done where using the backup as a source for the scatter file. I've uploaded the file so if you know what you're doing, you don't need the full backup. If you don't know what you're doing, download the backup and select the scatter file from there.

Thanks for this, I needed the ADBD Insecure to get the MTK tools to work and make a backup. Shame this phone hasnt gotten its own spot on the forums.

Have you tried flashing the zip file located in post #12 of the Gionee M3 development thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2977122 ? It works for me as well.
How do I recover my phone using one of these, I cant seem to get the SP Tools to do anything on my device!
Your stock image helped me, and I love you for it

We are working on getting an official TWRP recovery for the BLU studio Energy, the one I am using currently was built for the Gionee M3 device...its a little buggy in my opinion, but it does the job. You can look in the 1st post of that thread to see how it is done using the flashify app. If you need further help flashing it, just ask.

Ok thanks. I hope it comes out soon, I cant update to the newest build because I am missing the Amigo_Calender.apk and I cant seem to restore it without a full restore from TWRP.

If you're rooted, can't you use ES File manager and place it into /system/app and then fix permissions? I can upload it if you need the apk

What device do you have?
D810L or D810u? I have a link to both the Amigo calendar APK & Odex, but I have the d810u version. Like was just mentioned, you may be able to just copy and paste using a root browser.

Quick question, whats the difference between D810L and D810u?

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but...
3G: UMTS 850 / 1900 / 2100 MHz (SIM 1) (D810L)
3G: UMTS 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 MHz (SIM 1) (D810U)
The "u" has the extra 1700 baseband. That's the only difference I am aware of. So if you have a "u" and flash a backup for an "l" you would in theory loose the ability to receive signal on that band, and hope your carrier doesn't use it. I have already seen posts from those encountering that problem. Restoring a backup from "u" should correct it however. In theory... Lol
DISCONTINUED - Left for research and archive purposes.
After much hardwork @codelover and I are pleased to release both stock rom as well as TWRP 2.8.6.0
for the 2 known variants v31 and v38. Please make sure you download and flash for your specific variant. Check faq if you do not know which variant you have.
REQUIRED FOR BOTH VARIANTS:
Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10TP 32bit or 64bit
SPFT (Windows Version) “linux version coming soon”
Correct Scatter File
Preloader Drivers (if you do not know how to install manually go here)
ADB
A Brain
Usage:
For flashing either pre-rooted Rom and/or TWRP you will need spft+scatter file. It is imperative that you make sure that if you got a v31 you only uses v31 files not v38. Same for the v38 users only use v38 files. You have been warned.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing Rom:
Make sure
Run the file flash_tool.exe
Click on scatter-loading and select your MT8127_Android_scatter_RCA_Vx.txt file
Make sure all listed files are checked and if any isn't double click on it and select the appropriate file
Leave settings as Download Only “if working tab Format All + Download "if wont boot' then hit the Download button
Make sure your tablet is completely switched off then connect it to your PC and the flashing process will commence immediately.
Once it's done, you'll see the tick sign below and that's all. Reboot your device and setup your device afresh.

NOTICE:
Please keep thread clean and DO NOT ask things others have asked already as you will be ignored. If you do have a honest question and have a working knowledge of android. I would be glad to assist you the best I can. If you are noob and messed something up DO NOT ask for help. Meaning basics of knowing adb,logcat, installing drivers, and so forth. Sorry if you are a noob but please try to understand that things we may ask of your will require this and becomes too much of a slow down if we have to guide you thur everything.

Faq:
Question: How do I know which variant I have?
Ansere:
Method #1
From a booted android, goto Settings > About > Build number
You should see something like this.
RCT6773W22-ANDROID4.4.2-3101-V38-V1.8.0
Method #2 (Better & more accurate)
For this your device must be rooted & already have USB Debugging Mode enabled.
Make sure adb.exe has been installed on your system (computer).
Execute the following adb command:
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/cmdline
then search for ‘lcm’ text in the output:
If lcm=cpt_clap070wp03xg_lvds < you need to use v31 files
If lcm=1-lxjc070whm270_18a_rgb < you need to use v38 files
Question: What if I dont remember which variant I have and can’t access adb?
Ansere: If this is the case we will need to use SP Flash Tool to help identify your variant.
Open SF Flash Tool, load V38 scatter and switch to ‘Read Back’ tab. Clear all then click Add,
Click the new item & change the output file name from ROM_0 to ROM.txt,
edit the readback address as below:
Start Address: 0x9000000 / Length: 0x1000
Then press “Read back” button, now connect the tab while powered off.
When it’s done, open the file with wordpad and check if you have “ANDROID” at the beginning of the file, if your answer is yes then you have V38, otherwise use V31.

I can't say as to why but you do need the self education one can learn about how to use spflash tool,, seeing as that's the way that I know that's the first info I could offer ,,, you should get your version information first, then download your ROM because the scatter file that had reports of best results are in the full firmware, and you then need to know that the reset button will bring up a driver install but it happens fast to catch this you need the device manager in windows open, plug the rct in then press reset with a tothpick or other small pin ect,, the device shows up with a sound chimes on windows, right click the new device in the USB group and install using the hosted driver,,, now to the spflash tool its self load the scatter in the full ROM related to the vershion you have and then only check recovery,,, and find the twrp.IMG in you downloads and use only the download option in the spflashtools,, and click download then Right after hit reset on the back of the tablet,,, it can be done ,,,, even for the new people wanting to learn,,, regarding the twrp,installer.exe I linked to, I have no knowledge it was only reported to be a full success by another user before you so I wanted to offer a fast way for others to find it ,, so I linked to the .exe,,, and lastly ON MY TABLET I HAVE TO BE ON A CHARGER TO LAUNCH RECOVERY AT BOOT USING VOLUME KEY,..and you can download a root reboot apk that will boot from inside android directly into recovery,, maybe I helped,,,, p.s. another great thing the full ROM offers is the original OEM recovery.. Pleas do try to learn. As always i do wish every one the best
