[Tutorial]Gigabyte G1305 / Orange Boston unlock and upgrade to 2.1 with CMLMod 1.5.1

I won't follow this thread anymore since i have sold my Boston. Anyway you can find more informations on htcmania.com (use google translate if you don't speak spanish)
EDIT: Upgrade to CMLMod 1.5 based on Muchtel ROM (below outdated CML 1.4)
With this tutorial you sould be able to unlock your Orange Boston (aka GigaByte G1305 Codfish, Apanda A60, WellcoM A88, Vibo A688, Cincinnati Bell Blaze f800, Commtiva Z71, Muchtel A1, Chinavision Excalibur, Motorola Greco, Nexian A890) and install CMLMod 1.5.1 (or 1.4) (by c.martinez.lozano) based on the ROM Muchtel 2.1 (eclair)​
Main advantages/disadvantages of CMLMod 1.5.1:
+Unlocked device (can use any SIM)
+Android 2.1 (Eclair)
+Root access with Superuser permissions
+Preinstalled programms and other features
+Easy SD partitioning and more features thanks to the new recovery
+Optional App2SD
+Processor speed adjustable in a range between 122 and 600MHz (with the possibility to set variable processor speed to have performance and longer battery life at the same time)
+Other features: 3 different launchers, flash light, setcpu, app2SD in one click, other preinstalled apps and tweaks
=Camera autofocus not working (like on stock ROM)
=Different UserInterface (in my opinion better, but that's subjective)
-You may loose the warranty on your device
-IMEI may change, to restore your original IMEI use the tutorial in my second post
-Languages not fully implemented (english is working fully, other languages settable with LocaleSwitch but not fully integrated )
Important!!! There may be the risk of damaging your phone in an irreparable way! Be aware also by installing this ROM you will loose your warranty! I do not take any responsability for the status of your device!​
I translated the tutorials on htcmania.com

Requirements
Hardware requirements:
-Phone model: Orange Boston (aka GigaByte G1305 Codfish, Apanda A60, WellcoM A88, Vibo A688, Cincinnati Bell Blaze f800, Commtiva Z71, Muchtel A1, Chinavision Excalibur, Motorola Greco, Nexian A890)
Edit: never seen a phone with so many different names!!!
-PC operating system: Windows XP 32 bit with SP3 and .NET Framework 2.0 and Winrar installed. Do not try with Windows XP working on a virtual machine!!!. Seems to work also on other Windows 32 bit operating. Does NOT work with Windows7 64 bit
-USB to micro USB cable (comes with the phone)
Software requirements For CMLMod 1.5.1:
Firmware Apanda A60 1.6.2
Firmware CMLMod 1.5.1 (this file already contains RUT 1.2.2 and the Phone drivers)
Additional for CMLMod 1.4 (Outdated):
RUT 1.2.2
Phone drivers
Firmware Apanda A60 2.1.9
Firmware CMLMod 1.4
Tools like adb, fastboot, etc
Ready to start! make sure you have enough battery left (at least 30%)
PART 1: Installing Apanda 1.6.2
Unpack the file Phone drivers on your desktop, or another place, but remember where
install RUT_V1_2_2. At the end you will have to reboot your pc. Reboot it
[*]Unpack the firmware 1.6.2 from the archive Hipi1_6_2.rar and you get a file ending with .nb0
[*]Execute RUT (the shortcut should be on your desktop). The program reminds us to prepare the USB cable and to have all the drivers installed. (For Vista or Seven 32 bit: right click on the RUT shortcut. on the menu select Properties-->Compatibility check Run this program in compatibility mode for: and select Windows XP (Service Pack 3) then press OK, then right click on the Rut shortcut and select Run as administrator)
[*]In the next window, look for the firmware just to unpacked (the .nb0 file) and select it.
[*]The instructions tell you what to do: disconnect the phone from your pc (if connected), remove and reinsert the battery to your phone
[*]Hold the camera button and the volume up button pressed and then press the power button to enter recovery menu.
[*]Once the recovery menu, connect your phone to your computer. If we never connected in recovery, it requires new drivers. They are in the inside the Folder we unpacked in step 1 inside the subfolder AndroidX32 for 32 bit operating systems (if it later asks for drivers again, select the same folder again).
[*]The installer will detect your phone. If not, enter the Device Manager and check that all devices are correctly installed.
[*]From now on, follow the on-screen instructions and wait, it takes a while.
[*]Once complete, we have the new firmware installed. Our phone will restart and (after a while) show us something in chinese. Touch the right on-screen button to select the english language.
[*]When your phone is on check your IMEI by dialing *#06# and then press the call button and write it down. Now check the IMEI written on the phone under the battery. If the IMEI is the same, go on with PART 2. if the IMEI changes, use the tutorial in my second post to restore the original IMEI.
Now your phone is unlocked but you have the chinese version of Android 1.6
PART 2: Installing CMLMod 1.5.1 (for CMLMod 1.4 skip this and go to PART 2 OLD)
Unpack the file CMLMod1.5.rar
Run the programm RUT once again, and select the newCMLMod1.5.nb0 file you got
Repeat the same steps described in PART 1: 6.-10.
Now on your phone open the main menu and then CMLMod1.5 to configure App2SD select Configurar Apps2sd, then partitionar SD the phone will restart into recovery mode.
Now select Partition sdcard, Partition SD and confirm with the Home key. set swap=0, Ext2=512 (is more then enough! you can also set less) and Confirm twice again.
Then press the back button and select APP2SD if you want your apps being installed on your sd in the Ext2 partition.
Attention!!! if after you want your apps being installed on your phone memory you have to make a Wipe, that means, your data will be lost.
Always in CMLMod1.5 you can select a launcher, install flash lite and install setcpu to set the speed of the phone's processor with the possibility of variable speed.
FINISH!!!​
PART 2 OLD: Installing Apanda 2.1.9
Unpack the file Hipi_2_1_9GMS.rar and you get the file Hipi2_1_9_GMS版.nb0. Rename this file in Hipi2_1_9_GMS.nb0 (the chinese symbol can make problems)
Run the programm RUT once again, and select the new Hipi2_1_9_GMS.nb0 file you got
Repeat the same steps described in PART 1: 6.-10.
Now you have the chinese version of Android 2.1
PART 3 OLD: Installing CMLMod 1.4
Unzip the archive CMLMod1.4zip copy the 3 files inside and paste them into the folder A688
Remove and reinsert the battery of your phone
Press and hold the volume down and the end call buttons and then press the power button
Now your phone starts in fastboot mode. Connect it to your PC
Press on your keyboard Windows+R in the pop up window type "cmd" and press Enter
In the dos window type "cd.." (off course without ") and press Enter, until you are in C:\
Now type "cd A688" Enter, then "fastboot getvar version" Enter. If the answer is "0:5" procede, otherwise control if your drivers are correctly installed
Type "fasboot -w" Enter
Type "fastboot flash system system.img" Enter (wait 2-3 min. until it finishes)
Type "fastboot reboot"

Tutorial: Restore your original IMEI
Wrong IMEI seems to lead to a lot of different strange problems while using the phone. So if your IMEI changed after flashing an other ROM it might be better to restore the original one.
All Credits to c.martinez.lozano
Attention!!! this process is delicated!!! I have no responsability for any damages to your phone!​
Dowload this File: and Unpack it to "C:\IMEI"
Go into C:\IMEI and execute setup. This will install PSAS
Execute MadEdit (answer NO), in MadEdit click File-->Open and choose NVList.nvr and we see a lot of numbers
Scroll down until on the left grey side you see "000020C0" and on the same line in the white part you see the numbers ".. .. .. .. 1A 23 45 67 89 AB CD EF...." this is the BAD IMEI
Now open notepad (on your pc) and write down your correct IMEI (found under your battery) putting in front "A" and separing every 2 characters (E.g. if your IMEI is "324867523906130" write "A3 24 86 75 23 90 61 30") and now invert every coupe of letters (in this case you would have "3A 42 68 57 32 09 16 03") *NOTE: thanks to jhonburton for better example
In MadEdit instead of the BAD IMEI "1A 23 45 67 89 AB CD EF" write (replace it) the number you got (in this case "3A 42 68 57 32 09 16 03")
Save the file and close MadEdit
Disconnect from your PC and turn off your phone and restart it into Recovery mode (Camera+Vol. up+Power). Reconnect it to your PC and if necessary install the drivers
Run PSAS (you installed it before) and choose Hardware Forensics-->Use Mobile Ports
Right to Serial Com Port select COM? - Smartphone 2009 Wireless USB Moden. The ? stands for a number. So very important!!! remember for Example if ?=3, remember COM3
Go to the tab Codes (QC) and click on Send SPC
Go to the tab Dialog Port (QC) and on the second drop down menu left to the button Lets go select Restore NVItems (Binary) and then press Lets go
Select the NVList.nrv (we have changed before) and click Open
IMPORTANT Once the process is complete, closed PSAS
Download and install QPST
Launch QPST Configuration
Click on the tab Ports and select Add New Port... and there you write the COM? port you had to remember before (in my example write "COM3") and click OK
In the tab Active Phones now you should see your phone. If not something went wrong.
Click on Start Clients-->SERVICE PROGRAMMING
A window with our phone will pop up. We select OK
Select Load from file and choose the 00000000_sp.qcn inside the folder c:\IMEI and click Open
Click Write to Phone and wait until your phone restarts, with your new IMEI.
Check your IMEI again by dialing *#06# now it should be correct
If your IMEI is still wrong, check accurately if you did everything right (correct number in NRV file etc etc...) if nothing helps procede with following steps:
Turn on the phone in download mode ( Hang up + Vol. Up + Power) and flash Apanda 1.6.2 again
Repeat all the steps of the Tutorial to restore your IMEI
If this didn't help install Apanda 1.6.1 always with the phone in download mode
Repeat all the steps of the Tutorial to restore your IMEI
If you still have problems, try to find another PC with WindowsXP SP3 32bit where you can try again.
Sooner or later you will be able to get you IMEI right (i think so)

thanx a ton suriya I've unlocked my blaze f800

You forget to explain how to use app2sd on CMLMod1.4
Thank's about your translate!!.
Sorry about my bad english

thanks alot. really good tutorial!
i didnt encounter any problems at all, not even those specified by you in the tutorial. as for the underclocked cpu, i see that as an advantage: this android version is faster with lower cpu frequency then the original one (at least for me), and thus, less battery is consumed.
if u dont care about ur phone's warranty (i dont), i really recommend this upgrade.
so far seems stable, but the bug when u place a call and u don't here ringing, persists.
Thanks alot, again!

Is it possible to flash the phone with this room using ROM Manager?
And if following your method do we have to do PART1 of the tutorial? i allready have my phone unlocked and have Android 1.6 for example.
thanks!

I have problem with Imei. After flash it is chaged. And i use this tutorial for restore imei but it didn´t work and my imei is still different thet under battery. And i have problem whit wifi. Maybe bad IMEI is reason for don´t working Wifi
Sorry for my poor english

Explain me better. Do you mean, when you call someone you don't hear this "tuuut-tuuut"? cause if it's that i don't have this bug
by the way if you didn't read it look here, about battery optimization.

Try once again step by step. start with PART 1 again. be careful you don't forget anything. Use this version of QPST and a new .nrv file this time. if this does not help we will find a solution together looking step by step (in case c.martinez.lozano is an expert).
By the way wich kind of phone do you have, and from wich country? And wich operating system has your computer?

So i have Orange Boston from Slovakia and i am using WIN vista 32-bit. I read original post on htcmania but it is spanish so i dont understand everything, but some people write there that this tutorial must be use whe RUT is in download mode while i am installing 1.6.2 rom. I don´t know when is RUT in download mode...
And your qpst want serail !!!!

you right click on tha RUT shortcut. on the menu select Properties-->Compatibility check Run this program in compatibility mode for: and select Windows XP (Service Pack 3) then press OK
Now right click on the RUT shortcut again and select Run as administrator.
Try that way. then try that imei stuff again!
cheers
P.S. Anyway if you know where you can use an XP (32 bit) with SP3 i am confident everything will work if you do it step by step

ok IMEI is correct now. But i have a problem with wifi. On any 2.1 rom cant find any network but when i flash 1.6.2 it find. So i dont know where is a problem.

Ok good you restored your IMEI. About WIFI. Best thing is if you ask on htcmania because i don't know what to do.
When you have an answer and corrected your problem please post it here. So i add it to first post cuz other people may have the same issue.

dont remember exactly, but in some parts of the tutorial, you have to "Run as administrator" the given applications (RUT, etc). i used win7 32bit, and no problem.

No. But with LocaleSwitch you can select italian then most things are in italian. Settings (impostazioni) is still in English, and no italian dictionary on the stock keyboard. you can install another keyboard, to solve this. But wait for CML 1.5. Maybe some better.

oki..thx for info. but, what does exactly that locale switch app? what are the changes?

Please add Nexian A890 (Indonesian version of this device) on the list too. Here, in Indonesia, we can bring it to the official service center to upgrade it.

with it you can select languages wich are present in the phone. Italian is also partially present. most things then are in italian. except the settings menu, the camera menu, the date on the lockscreen and maybe something else

Thanks for the update quail!
Do you have the AUS version of the Ideos? If so, who'd you get yours from?
Also, can we use this thread as a ROM request? (i.e. overclocking ability, gingerbread development)

Thanks. But can you plz post a guide or give a link on how to install the modified ROM in IDEOS for noobs like me

Yes I have the AU version and I bought a Crazy Johns pack with 4GB micro HCSD carded included from Aus. Post for 159AUD. I was luck and go one that was not locked to any network.
Yes you can use the thread for ROM requests, I personally will be ignoring requests for OCing, as there is a very nice little app called setCPU which works great on the U8150.

[How to] install recovery and custom ROMs
I hold no responsibility to how you use or not use this info and if you brick phone - you do this at your own risk
Part 1 Installing Recovery ROM
Please refer to this post before flashing Recovery ROM - AmonRA Recovery 1.6.2 and BLUE Screen
The custom recovery allows you to do all sorts of lovely things such as installing ROM update zips (for the forthcoming custom ROMs), wiping various parts of the device, backing up and restoring and much more.
You can enter recovery mode - turn it off, then press the power button while holding the 'volume up' and 'send' (green).
Downloads
AmonRA Recovery 1.6.2 - DOWNLOAD (MediaFire Pro) / MIRROR (CoBlitz / ROMraid) - MD5: 65d4dcbbedb956a9f88dd1981fb31ef8
How to install - Windows, Linux and OSX
Download the recovery image of your choice above and extract the zip file
Put your device in bootloader mode - turn it off, then press the power button while holding the 'Volume Down' and 'End (Red)' keys
WINDOWS - double click 'install-recovery-windows.bat'
MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-mac.sh' followed by './install-recovery-mac.sh'
LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-linux.sh' followed by './install-recovery-linux.sh'
Part 2 Installing Custom ROM
Note: When using the Custom Recovery image use the Trackball to move up / down and press to select. Use the volume down button to go back.
Download a Custom ROM of your choice and place the ENTIRE ZIP (Do not extract it) onto the root of your SD card. By "Root" I mean do not place the file in any subfolders
Enter recovery mode - turn it off, then press the power button while holding the 'volume up' and 'send' (green).
From Custom Recover Main menu and select the 'Backup/Restore' option. Choose a 'Nand backup' and let it run it's course
Return to the Custom Recover Main menu and select the 'Wipe' option. Choose the First option 'Wipe data/factory reset' and confirm. <- this is optional after installing one of my ROMs. I personally have not bothered with it with my ROMs
Return to the Custom Recover Main menu and select the 'Flash zip from sdcard'. Select the custom rom you wish to flash, confirm and wait.
Part 3 Restoring back to original ROM
Note: Upgrade operations will erase the user data.
Find and Download ROM from Link provided on WiKi that you want to install
Copy the entire dload folder (with UPDATE.APP in it) to the root directory of the MICRO SD card.
Make sure your handset is power off. Insert the MICRO SD card into the handset. Pressing the END key and VOLUME UP key, and then press the POWER key to power on the phone and enter the Software Upgrade Mode.
You can see process bar start from 0 on the screen. (this take a few minutes)
Then the handset will restart automatically. Then it is OK.

I got the same deal!
Have you played around with the kernel at all? I'm not experienced in programming etc. but apparantly to OC the IDEOS U8150 more than 600mhz (setcpu does this automatically), it needs a kernel hack like other phones do.

I have played around with Linux Kernels in the past just not the Android kernel yet... but I am sure it not that hard to patch it and recompile.
I am happy with the 600MHz that setCPU unlocks it too.

The Main thinkg about these two parts here, when i enter recovery mode i get a blue screen is that right... nothing BUT a blue screen.
When i try to enter the bootloader mode it stays on the IDEOS logo, the first one when you turn it on...
Also im guessing it has to be plugged into the usb at all times for these.

You should not be getting a blue screen, you sure your using the correct key combination?
Yes you need the USB cable plugged in to use the bootloader. Yes the bootloader is ment to just sit at the IDEOS logo

yeah im 100% sure i used the correct key combo for the restore recovery mode, and sweet as for the bootloader, just wasnt 100% sure on that one.

Thank you OP for the info here, I used them to flash the recovery and I'm going to flash your ROM.
Having a Desire from the very first day I'm not new to these things, but this little boy is in my hands since this afternoon and it's amazing that you came with this just in time.
Will report back in a while with impressions.

OK, here I am. Just attempted to flash the ROM (after a full wipe), but it fails with an "Installation aborted." message just after the ISO symlink one. Looking at the update script, I guess there was a problem while flashing the BOOT partition.
Rebooting into the OS result in the new (rooted) ROM, but something is missing: the build.prop is likely the old one (I still see the old build string) and I have only 118 MB of free NAND space.
Coming from the Vodafone Italy ROM.
Any hint?

Hi, I flashed "U8150V100R001C191B822_010711_042603", the one I guess is the newest (despite the "2010" typo on the first post ).
Is there a newer one?

Another thing I am not sure what the diff is between the Italian ROM and the Australian ROM. I wonder if you phone is not fully compatible with the Australian ROM?

First version working
I had the same problems as @ngel using the newer version. Fail with the iso symlink.
Used the first version you posted up and that worked without a problem.
Zeam Launching is really snappy. Or I just haven't bogged down my phone with a whole bunch of crap yet.
Thanks for your work I bought my Ideos through 2 Degrees in New Zealand.
Request:
I quite like the look of the black notification bar and green icons. Would you be able to theme this rom with those? Also could you include the gingerbread keyboard. I know I can install it separately but would be cool to have Touch Pal and the original keyboard removed and replaced with the gingerbread one.

Your device manager should not normally have any unrecognized hardware after this step. ( see attached Image).
The"Android Composite ADB Interface" MUST be listed by now... if not recheck your steps again.

My friends have confirmed that this rooting method is working on Micromax a116 and Xolo q800...

I have successfully ported CWM touch for the 701HD......
Need help making ROMs...
Will post the CWM with a short tutorial ....
Hey people... instead of viewing the posts as a Mute spectator, you could atleast register and give SOME feedback please!!

OP, nice job helping people out there. But, it's Q&A section and it's likely that people will be more helped if you make that guide in Miscellaneous Android Development Section.
More people will find it there because they will look for it there only.
Just request a mod to move the guide in that section. :victory:

Here is another guide - Root Zen Ultrafone 701 HD

Essentially same ...... Even the attached files are identical!!! With the batch file showing changes made by me what a great co-incidence!!!!

Darn it
Don't know why zen guys want to tarnish the already almost non existent reputation of theirs.
Impressed by my phone a friend ordered the 701 HD and it turns out defective. the same dreaded line on display !
Somehow even my reputation is at stake now among friends

So theres a good news guys
am a Semi Developer ... i recently bought Zen701 HD
Lemme first give you guys a SHORT intro of mine
Am music.soul ( my xda name - you can see)
I have compiled paranoid for Xperia Neo v
made a rom for Galaxy Grand - Cryogate Rom
and I founded a team named TEAMCOOPER a developing team for Galaxy Ace ..
Themed many things
Wrote up a tutorial to Theme your statusbar and to make a draw9patch
okay! now what i am thinking is .. i'll soon be rooting this Zen701 HD and install up CWM
then ... would make a TRIAL rom includes Small Tweaks for performance and Battery ))))
Cheers and Enjoy! ))

Cool man.... Was waiting for someone who'd make a ROM. Fandroid was interested once but has since canceled his zen purchase and bought a lava....

Wow.thats good news
BTW is possible to add WiFi tweaks ?
And also . is there a good music quality enhancing app ? The default player lacks the punch

For drivers, connect your phone to windows PC, download PDANET (search for it on google) and let it install drivers for your phone.
Preface: TOOLS and THREADS TO BE USED
1. MTK Droid Root and Tools by xda senior member rua1. Press thanks in his thread! Compatible with Windows and Linux(with wine).
2. SP Flash Tool Credits to Khonshu of china.phonearena. I downloaded v3.1344. Here's an xda thread on what you can do with it: Click Me! Troubleshooting SP flash tools: .Click here!
3. Pdanet for Windows drivers
Chapter 1.0.0: HOW TO ENABLE PHONE MODES
Steps:
1.1.0 For MTP mode
1.2.0 For ADB mode
1. Go to Settings>About Phone
2. Click Build number about 6 times, quickly. Developer Options should now appear.
3. Go back to settings then click Developer Options. Here you find so many things you thought didnt exist
4. For now, we only check USB debugging. When a pop-up appears, just click "ok". Done!
1.3.0How to enter recovery mode: (Credits to phcorner.com O+8.52 thread)
Method 1:
1. Remove battery and reinsert.
2. Press Volume Up and power key simultaneously.
3. A blank screen with an android lying down and a red exclamation triangle should appear now.
4. Press Power button once, and the menu will appear.
5. To navigate, Power: Show/Hide options. Vol UP: Confirm. Vol Down: Scroll.
6. When done, reboot system to exit.
Method 2: When you're on a PC,
1. Connect Phone in USB debugging mode.
2. Open cmd (or terminal then change directory to your adb folder) and
Code:
adb reboot recovery
1.4.0 For Phone test mode
1. Press Volume Down and Power simultaneously.
2. Choose among the options.
3. When done, remove battery to exit.
(It seems like reinserting the battery and doing VolDown+Home combo does not do anything else)
1.5.0 For fastboot (aka bootloader) mode
Requirements: Since you want to use fastboot, then you must be on an adb configured computer
1. Open cmd (or terminal then change directory to your adb folder)
2.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
3. Wait for the phone. Done!
Chapter 2.0.0: ROOTING
Why root?
There are many methods to rooting. I will list what I know might work. I'm 99.9% sure the first one works (given you are not stuck in a bootloop.)
2.1.0 Shuame ROOT GeniusDownload​Info: This is a one-click PC application. I have used this in Windows 7 32-bit and in lubuntu 13.10 and it works. If your phone is not an MT6572 I'd still recommend that you try this as it can root almost anything! It installs Kinguser as the superuser app.
2.1.1 Requirements for Windows PC: A Windows PC, a USB cable, your phone, and a fully downloaded shuame root genius. No drivers needed as shuame root genius already installs them for you.
2.1.2 Requirements For Linux PC users: A linux PC, a USB cable, your phone, a fully downloaded shuame root genius, WINE, and adb (I might be wrong here, but get this: Since drivers are not really used, we need our phone to be given adb permissions by linux, or else shuame will not be able to recognize your phone. So you will probably need to have adb installed first, just to be sure.)
For info on how to do that, check here: Click Me!
Also, shuame root genius does not display well under wine in my case, but the buttons were clickable anyway so it still works. From here, it's pretty much the same procedures.
2.1.3 Steps:
I made a visual guide here:
​
And in text, here:
1. Connect your phone to PC using the USB cable and go to MTP mode. See Chapter 1.1.0 for help
4. Enable USB debugging. See Chapter 1.2.0 for help.
5. Open Shuame Root Genius. It will connect to your phone automatically and install drivers for about 3-5 minutes. (No more driver installation on linux PCs)
6. Click "Root it". You should now see your device as rooted. And if you click back, you can unroot. Done!​
2.2.0ErootDownload/help thread​Info: Another tool by Chinese developers. I tried it on my lubuntu 13.10 WINE and it worked flawlessly! I'm pretty sure it'll work on a Windows PC as well. It installs superuser by clockworkmod.
2.2.1 Requirements: See 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.
2.2.2 Steps:
Visual guide
Textual guide here:
1. Connect your phone to PC using the USB cable and go to MTP mode. See Chapter 1.1.0 for help
4. Enable USB debugging. See Chapter 1.2.0 for help.
5. Open eroot. It will connect to your phone automatically.
6. Click the root button. It's the only button anyway. When you have rooted successfully, you can click the 解除 button to unroot if you wish. Done!​
2.3.0 MTK Droid root and tools
Connect Phone in ADB and MTP mode.Download/Help thread can be found in Preface​Run MTK Droid Tools. Wait for it to recognize and establish a connection with your phone. This should appear after a minute:
Take note that a blue rectangle on the lower left means you're still not rooted. Press ROOT.
Wait for about three to five minutes. In my case, MTK Droid tools crashed So I didn't see a superuser app.
But I downloaded root checker and sure enough, my phone was rooted. Only the superuser app was missing.
I also opened MTK Droid tools again and saw a green rectangle (which means I am rooted :victory: )
So now, technically, you are rooted. But we still need a superuser app, so I downloaded a superuser app that I liked and updated the binary. I downloaded SuperSU by chainfire from the play store. Done!
or, you could try the superuser button in the root, backup, recovery tab. I didn't try it though
2.4.0 Other stuff you might wanna try or know about if none of these methods worked for you, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523814

3.3.0 What is clockworkmod recovery?
3.4.0 What is carliv touch recovery?
UPDATE: I think O+ 8.31z was primarily sold for the Philippine Market; as such, I may be in competition with more Philippine based forums such as symbianize and gsmworldfive. Therefore, I think it would be best that I leave the two 8.31z links here and discontinue any plans on improving this thread. Here they are:
http://www.symbianize.com/showthread.php?t=1094034&page=10
^this link contains a SPFT flashable pre-rooted clean stock rom.
http://www.gsmworldfive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37787
^this link uses the SPFT method too, but the rom here has much more root apps installed already, like swapper, greenify, auto ram cleaner etc. (Oh, stock keyboard was also taken out).
Both confirmed working to bring back a bootlooped 8.31z. I prefer the first one though
Until next time! My dad plans to sell this phone soon so I guess I won't be learning how to make custom roms anytime soon yet... Hope you guys are doing well

UPDATE: Since my dad hasn't sold it yet, I'm playing with it again. There is a Filipino facebook group that is dedicated for 8.31z users. I think they have custom roms ported there.

Chapter 4.0.0: ADD INIT.D SUPPORT TO STOCK ROM
Check here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849
I haven't personally tried any one yet. You are always proceeding at your own risk

Tweak for speed, battery life, and other cool/useful stuff.
Chapter 5.0.0: Speed
There are tons of stuff to speed up your phone, and they're not just limited to one specific phone. So bring in the list.
1. Use Greenify (find it in the play store)
Requirements: Root (optional for auto-hibernation. Highly Recommended.), Android 4.0+
You may greenify stuff like Guardian if you are not using it, or maybe the FB app too. Saves some battery and gives a little free ram for better multitasking.
2. Disable fancy window animations and transitions
Go to settings>developer options and disable the three animation options to animation off.
3. Use a cpu controller like No Frills CPU control (find it in the play store)
Controls how fast or slow you want your CPU to go. Default Governor is hotplug.
For a faster phone, set the governor to performance. It sets the CPU to scale to the max that you set. Use when you are playing heavy games.
For a battery saving phone, set the governor to powersave. It sets the CPU to scale to the min that you set. Use when you only plan to use really light apps.
For a balance between performance and battery save, it's probably best to go back to hotplug since it can turn the second core on or off depending on your usage.
4. Tweaks and Scripts
Info: Tweaks refers to build.prop tweaks. Scripts refer to init.d scripts. So this is a two-part thing. Adding build.prop tweaks, and running init.d scripts. Some do this two-part thing simultaneously in one flasher. Others, separate the tweak part from the script part. The reason they do this is because phones running from stock usually do not support init.d scripts, but only build.prop tweaks.
Our 8.31z cannot support init.d (yet) so for now we will only do the tweak part.
1. Tweak part of [ SCRIPT | TWEAK ] ◢ Project Fluid™ ◣ by Spex. [size="+1"]Recommended.[/size]
Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.
Project Fluid has a separable tweak part. I didn't apply all as some are optional. So I just applied it and what happened?
Using Antutu X Benchmark
Before Project Fluid Tweak: 7334
After Project Fluid Tweak: [size="+1"]9264!!![/size]​I only selected some of the tweaks (i.e. I didn't use "unlock with volume rocker and other stuff like that) Here's what I added to my build.prop. Feel free to do the same.View attachment 2785183
How to:
1. Open ES explorer (I'm using latest version)
2. Copy the tweaks that you want to add to build prop. Find the tweaks in spex's post or copy my selected tweaks. And thank spex in his thread.
3. Press the menu button on your phone. Click tools. Click on for root explorer and grant root permissions.
4. Click root explorer. Click Mount R/W. Choose R/W for /system and click ok.
5. Navigate to /system and open build.prop with ES note editor. Press the menu button on your phone and click edit.
6. Now paste the tweaks into the build.prop file. Or type them manually
7. Reboot and enjoy!
2. Tweak of Dash-M Script and tweak by myaservip
Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.
Dash-M has a tweak part and a script part too. If you want to try Dash-M Tweak, go to his myaservip's thread and download the zip, transfer to the root of your sdcard, go to recovery mode, and flash from there.But personally, Project Fluid's tweaks are more complete. I haven't tried Dash-M script since we haven't added init.d so stay tuned.​3. Script and Tweak of ★ [MOD] ◢ PurePerformances™X ◣ | Golden Edition | Scary performances on Android by Jeeko
Please press thanks in his thread! This is not my work.
This is a single inseparable script and tweak in one so we cannot use it yet. Stay tuned.​[size="+1"]General reminder: Tweaks and scripts are usually not mix-able. So remove one before trying another.[/size]
Chapter 6.0.0: Cool/Useful Stuff
1. Xposed Framework and Modules.
Our device can definitely benefit from Xposed modules! 4.2 is capable of running these.
2. TouchPal Keyboard
A good replacement to stock keyboard. Contains different keyboard layouts and support for tons of languages! And if you have experienced the keyboard not pressing the right button, this might be a better replacement.
3. Moreto come.

Hi there fellow Filipino! Please continue what you're doing. I can help you in some way in installing CWM-esque recovery tool for our phone. As it is a UBIFS-type system, many have said that it's a tricky job. A lot have failed but some did it successfully like me. I followed this tutorial from here
chinaphonearena.com/forum/Thread-CWM-For-All-MTK-Easy-Magic-CWM-MT6575-MT6515-MT6577-MT6517-MT6589-MT6582-MT6592
Sorry I can't post links yet because this is a new account.
So I was able to boot into recovery, but I stopped there until someone successfully restore our phone from a backup (even if it's just stock ROM)
Cheers! You should try it!
PS. I tried your build.prop and benchmarked afterwards, only to get about 7100+. HOW DID YOU GET TO 9K?! Please indicate if you have a lot of apps and is greenify and that cpu tool the only apps you're using for speed?
After sometime though, my phone got slow, so I deleted the added lines in build.prop and speed went back on. What's happening?

Successfully enabled init.d! I used term-init. It was so easy! Just a matter of minutes. Now, to try some scripts...
Edit: Currently backing up using Carliv Touch Recovery, the MTK compatible CWM recovery tool, before going further. Will try restoring it later. If it is a success, then Chapter 3 is done!

Hi! I've been a little busy lately haha. I'll get back to updating this thread in a week or so
Are you new to this stuff? Or have you had previous experience before? Seems like you're going pretty well! I don't know much about this phone of ours yet, maybe you know more than I do
Update: So my O+ phone wasn't sold, and now I plan to use it. Just tested Carliv 2.4 using Yuweng's Auto Magic Installer, and it installed! Restore doesn't work though. And don't advance restore > restore system. You'll get a bootloop haha.

Disable buttons backlight. (pale blue led shine instead). ROOT needed.
Replace system\lib\hw\lights.msm8974.so to get rid of buttons backlight. Instead, PALE blue led will be on.
Don't forget to backup the original file.
Advanced users can control that API /sys/devices/virtual/input/touch/light_led (with echo 0,1)
There is no any other control to disable or enable it.
XPOSED framework can't do anything too
Noise fix. When party on other side is claiming on noise above your voice.
This is typical issue of dual mic QUALCOMM devices on 5+ Androids. Edit built.prop
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true change to false
Enable DIAG port for QXDM (QPST). Rooted.

su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config diag,serial,mass_storage,adb

@ heineken78
Thanks for coming here at XDA
I am daily following your good works at 4PDA and I am actually with Titovich's 5.02 rooted and i feel more than satisfied.
I take the opportunity to send you my grateful Thanks.
I will install the new update and let comment as well. I hope and wish the system repartitioning will not give any issue ( I don't like playing with root partition!!).
Question: Was not possible to make the system file as lean as possible , eg removing apk that are unnecessary or available at Playstore for everybody choice in order to avoid this modification.
Regards

good work bro. looking for rom based on 5.1 . following this thread

Stock reserved place in m810 for system partition is ~1,6 gb. Making firmware less, won't bring any changes, unless repartitioning it to lets say 1,1 gb. This operation needs lot of system knowledge from people who will install it.. And profit of changes will be only 500 mb? is nothing.
m812 has partition of 3 gb, that's huge, but suitable for oxdexed roms.
repartition means- you need to change start sectors of emmc in order to set sizes of system, cache. Everything before those partitions remain the same.

Ok, tweak as promised

Wow,wonderful news... i will test it,downloading...

Hi Guys!
I would like to ask that ROM by titovich, which languages contains?
Thanks

@ heineken78
I've just finished the new Rom install. I followed instructions and had no issue . Rebooted via recovery and installed my stuffs.
-Wifi reception is the same as before and always weaker than my other phones. (minus 8 db)
-GPS IS NOT GETTING ANY FIX. 25 SAT in view and no one fixed.
-New Rom is a HUGE bit of improvement and feel more pleasant and very fast.
-DISPLAY is vibrant and very well set. Automatic mode is perfect also at night reading. good
- Battery leak in stand by is impressively low. less 1% full night. very good
THANKS TO THE TEAM BUILDING FOR THIS REALIZATION.

Yes Im trying that.
But for now, "adb reboot ftm" to reboot in ftm mode and enable qualcomm diag driver.
Then change nv's as written here and here. Uz mztool to calculate right entry's.

@heineken78
Thanks dude!
Its an official or unofficial translated ROM?
Im just ask the reason of hope, maybe put into some more languages too.
Im get this phone yesterday, it looks really great, but enter the recovery and fastboot mode its terrible.
Do you know TWRP or CWM recovery for this phone?
