I recently acquired an Alcatel Idol OT - 6030x and would like to change its ROM. I've already rooted the phone, how do I know which ROMS are compatible with my phone? I've tried a bit of searching, but I've found no concrete answer.
Thanks!

Actually some guy from Poland made 3 custom ROMs for Alcatel OT Idol 6030x. I think he ported them.
The first is 4.1.2 based and I think that pretty much everything on that ROM works.
Here it is:
http://forum.android.com.pl/f916/android-4-1-2-jb-beta-4-alcatel-ot-6030x-397643/
The second is 4.2.2 based and pretty much everything works but has one bigger issue. The microphone doesn't work. So if you use your phone to talk to somebody often then I this won't be your daily ROM.
Here it is:
http://forum.android.com.pl/f1006/a...zebni-testerzy-388635/index6.html#post3415953
The third is MIUI 4.3.20. 4.2.2 based. But the Microphone and FM Radio don't work. And seems that you can't enable root permissions on this ROM. Do not try to do a system update because it will install a ROM for the ZTE phone from whom this ROM was ported so it will brick you phone.
Here it is:

Hello,
Is it possible to use the Galaxy Note N7000 version of the Cyanogenmod for ZTE Blade Q Maxi?
Hardware-wise, the only difference I could see is that the Note has a Cortex A9 and the ZTE has a Cortez A7.
I'm assuming that resolution, screen and camera sizes are irrelevant.
I have rooted the phone and have made a back-up of the current firmware to the card (which is Orange bloatware weighing a massive 1.1GB).
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's impossible, why don't you search for a custom rom and kernel that are built specially for your device?

yeah they are still very different phones, same with OEM, Samsung is not ZTE they have different bootloaders and such and would brick your phone if you flashed that.

Damn...I thought it was just like on the PC
@Ferris Cruiser : As far as custom ROMs for it go, there aren't any at the moment.
Stock Android 4.2.2 has about 450MB. The back-up made with CWM to the zip card is...drum-roll please...1.5GB, because Orange bloatware. I didn't install any apps except something to root it and CWM.
Can I just flash stock Android 4.2.2 on it? I mean, the Google Nexus 4 ROM. Or would that brick it too?
I'm searching for something, anything, any Android version that might work for it because in the Orange branded version you don't have :
Options for calls/keyboard/home-screens etc. It's very very limited.

flashing any rom that is not ment for your phone will brick it, this goes for almost every devices. there are a few phones suck as the (t-mobile)T989 Galaxy s2 and skyrocket galaxy s2 (at&t) are able to flash each others roms with a mod i think, i have yet to try to flash one of their roms. it looks like your phone has almost about stock android, with a new keyboard or a new launcher. got a perfect status bar already. other than that it should look like a nexus 4.

I understand now, thank you very much for your help.
I've done some late-late-night research and was unable to even install Clockwork Mod on it, it still has the basic Android system recover (3e) from Orange.
I will keep on searching for a way to install recovery on it and flash it. The phone is good, the firmware ruins it.
So thank you all once again for your help.
Love&Peace!

I've tried to install many ROMs available around, but they don't work on Bell / Virgin. I think all ROMs made for 6040D (2 sim cards version) and my phone can't find any network after upgrade.
Root you can easily do with Kingo Android ROOT, but you will need drivers from Alcatel (search on their Support site for MTK USB driver)
wrong forum??
help! ive had the same problem with not being able to find network
do u know how i can for certain revert back to normal rom. or totally reinstall

Can anyone shed some light on this? I haven't attempted to rootr my Idol X 6040A just yet until I'm sure it's possible.
Has anyone performed a successful ROOT on the Alcatel OneTouh Idol X 6040A and then successfully brought it up to working condition with a reputable ROM?

EDIT

Best instructions and seems to have the best results for 6040A users. There's a lot of talk in that post though so I recommend doing a thread search for 6040A to fnd the answers.
I've rooted this phone successfully but I'm still looking for stable custom ROMs.
Any advice would be appreciated
I have seen this phone a lot... The alcatel one touch scribe but it seems like there are no compatible themes and worse of all... There isnt any update for thid after the 4.2 androidm does anyone know what i can use to either upgrade the firmware or simply get a rom ? My alcatel is already rooted... Thanks.
I recently came into the possession of a HTC Desire 620G Dual Sim (it was my father's) Android 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.67, Chipset Mediatek MT6592 (Online is liste as android 4.4.4 but that is a lie). After days of searching the web and reading countless forums I came to the conclusion that this is a very unpopular and abandoned smartphone. I really want to change the android version on this phone, I know how to root, I learned from this forums. The only problem I have is that I can't find any android versions ported for this phone, I need anything newer than 4.4.2, I would like 4.4.4 or lollipop as i heard it runs better. I checked all custom androids none has support for this device, I cant even find this phone on the clockworkmod and TWRP list of devices. What do I do now? If I can't even install a custom recovery on this phone? So to sum this up, I need a custom recovery mode for this phone and a ported android version newer than 4.4.2. I would appreciate any help.

Hi, even if my answer has nothing to do with what you asked, you seem to have the abilities to make a backup copy of your stock rom, that's waiting that you still have your stock rom in that phone and it's european model.
Could you please be so kind to make a backup copy of your rom?
And by the way, there's at least one russian guy that has cooked one rom for this phone, even if it seems to have some issues yet.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm very sorry I flashed MIUI v5.8.27 Beta, a rom found on these forums ported by a guy, maybe the same guy you speak of. I regret it now, I need the stock rom back, I liked it better. I did found something over the web a stock rom but I'm to wuss to try it because there is a chance I'll brick my phone and this is the only phone I got. Do you want to try that stock rom? I'll find it again for you.

That's very kind of you. I have in fact found also a stock Rom, but is not the same the version as my phone's, plus is a Rom for phones sold in India and I bought mine at in Europe, so I prefer not to "risk" this time.
There are some sites that really have all the roms, but they want money to let you download anything, is quite "strange" and I will not say anything else about that.
Sadly, HTC doesn't provide free download for any of their devices, like they used to do and I am not sure about what could happen if I download and install one of those branded roms that can ba apparently downloaded.
Finally, what I want is simply recover the "normal" functionality of this phone, because after rooting, I lost the camera function, the whole system became absolutely unstable and getting worst, so now it resets itself without warning just like that and it's not providing any acoustical messages anymore, so I know I will never root again a phone with any of those "tools", I will do it old style, connecting with a command line terminal.
So maybe that Rom you're using may fit the bill for me, but I couldn't find a way to install cwm or twrp on this phone to install any cooked Rom and I've been really out of this chores for quite some time to know enough to find the right way to do this on my own.
So thanks for any help you can provide and I think it would be really nice to provide this Rom here because it's more than one person who needs it and apparently no one really cares about this phone, there are several people with these problems.
