_tu_root is no longer available from the provided link. Does anyone have a mirror?

2 months later and tu_root is still down, and just moments ago the "complete kit" disappeared.
---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------
Working link to tu_root: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84283344/tu_root_.zip

Most of the links are now broken since the Dropbox reset too.
I've been trying to find the root files for this phone everywhere and all the links are just broken. I just wanna root it to remove the boost bloatware and boot animation so I can use it as an emulator for old games but no luck finding any of the files.

Hey NGD1
I was curious If you still have the Transform Ultra Tu_root.zip file
if not its totally cool I was just curious if it is still out there somewhere in the world
I spent like 4 hours searching for it to no avail

Goophone i5s [Custom ROMs]: iOs skinned, Stock Jelly Bean

Hello folks! This is my first post in xda and I want to share these roms for goophone i5s (if any).
This is my first post in xda by the way and I am very new with the interface so expect for flaws in this thread.
In this thread, I will include the tips and the installation processes for convenience to users.
Just take note that you have to back up everything before doing anything as usual.
Also, I assume that you have your custom recovery already installed and if not, just google it and you can find some steps to install custom recovery for mediatek devices
The ROMS :
- iOS Skinned
- Jelly Bean android stock rom
These roms were optimized for this phone to be responsive as a daily driver. All these roms were modified by the people in 4pda forum which i dont know if they are members of xda. Credits to them!
- iOs Skinned rom
This rom is a merged rom from different goophone i5s rom to mimic the look of iOs. The launcher is replace with the app "iLAuncher" for it to have a smoother experience, rooted and many more . You just have to discover it yourself.
Tips for this rom:
For better multitasking experience, you can use @zeppelinrox ultimatic patcher for a better multitasking experience and give thanks to him of course. Hats off to him
Install Greenify and XPOSED FRAMEWORK(Yes xposed framework!) to acces its experimental features. Dont get to excited about it yet since some of the modules in the xposed framework are compatible with AOSP based roms .
You cannot activate the accessibility service of this rom by the way. But with some analysis, I was able to activate it then. You mus install 2 apps: Secure Settings and E-robot which found in the playstore. Here are some of the instructions on how to use those apps to activate its accessibility service: (Assuming you have those apps installed)
1. Open Secure Setting and navigate to "SYSTEM+" (upper part) and "Enable" it
2.Open E-robot and tap the "+" button on it to add "commands". Name the command as you wish and select ok.
3. In the command, tap in "+" to add "Actions" (under actions group). Navigate to "3RD PARTY APPS" on the upper portion of the app (swipe to the left until you see it).
4. Tap on "Secure Settings". Select "System + Actions" and navigate to "Accessibility Services".
5. Next, you have now the choice of apps to be enabled. Never forget to "save" the one you have selected (save icon seen on top).
6.You will now be directed to the main page of the app, tap on "save" icon and then tap the "play" sign to execute the command and actions.
That's it! Im sorry for I did not include screenshots on this one. Just follow the steps and you'll have it
All other settings and options shall be based upon your taste
ROM Installation instructions:
Before doing anything, again, have a backup of your phone using either custom recovery or mtk droid tools to retrieve your current rom.
Also, you need the following:
- SP Flashtools v3..... (i prefer these versions )
- boot.img of your current rom. you can have your boot.img on your backups. (this is for compatibility issues so do not forget this step)
Steps: (Don't connect your usb cable yet)
1. Extract the downloaded zip file to a specified folder. After the extracting, copy your boot.img and paste it to the extracted folder (you have to replace the boot.img found in the extracted folder).
2. Open SP Flashtools run it and click "Scatter Loading". Navigate to the extracted folder and there you can see the "scatter file".
3. Click firmware upgrade. In case you failed to do it, check the files checked if it has its contents linked. In my situation, i found "USRDATA" not linked to the file extracted. Simply click it and navigate to "user data" file found in the extracted folder.
4. Click "Firmware Upgrade" again and now, this is the time that you have to connect your phone via usb cable to the computer.
5. Patiently wait for it as it downloads the files and if says "Download ok" with "green" circle, disconnect your phone and you are now good to go.
6. Boot up the phone and please do wait for it to boot up as it takes a while for it to display. You will then have a black screen with the status bar shown and wait for it until it launches the launcher
That's it and customize it as you wish
Download link of the rom: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3EnRaB-uXW8YlFXVjk4TlJmcjg&authuser=0
Patched services.jar for this rom for ease: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3EnRaB-uXW8b1hDNzAyMFFWNzQ&authuser=0
*Simply overwrite the original services.jar found in /system/framework/services.jar and give the right permissions -rw-r--r--
Note*: This "may" not be compatible with the jb android stock rom services.jar.
Just copy the URL above since I cannot direct you to the link due to xda rules
-Jelly Bean Stock Android ROM
This rom is the one I am currently using since I do envy the look and feel of android lollipop. With this rom, you can do almost everything a native android can do. Install XPOSED FRAMEWORK for you to customize it.
Tips for this rom:
Accessibility for this phone is not a problem. Only you have this annoying navigation bar which is unpleasant . You can edit the build.prop if you want to get rid of it. just google it You can also resize it using GravityBox.
Also, the developer options for this rom lacks other options like the animations, simply install "GravityBox" module and navigate to "MTK 6589......fix settings" and tap "Advanced Developer Option".
ROM Installation instructions:
You need the following:
-custom recovery
-boot.img of your current rom (boot.img of your phone rather )
Steps:
1. Put the Downloaded rom (zip file) in your sd card.
2. boot into recovery and wipe everything "wipe data and factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and "wipe the dalvik cache" (advanced)
3. After wiping everything, select "install zip from sd card" and select the zip file and install it.
4. Wait for it to finish and after the installation, I do recommend to wipe everything again and then reboot.
Enjoy!!

​STEP 1 : BACKUP
​BEFORE MAKE ANYTHING — IMPORTANT– BACKUP YOUR IMEI NUMBER WITH MTK NVRAM TOOL. YOU CAN ALSO DOWNLOAD IT IN Links other than Needrom:
WHEN INSTALLING THIS ROM YOU LOSE YOUR IMEI NUMBER SO YOU MUST DO THIS: YOU NEED TO HAVE ROOT ON YOUR PHONE AND A RECOVERY INSTALLED LIKE TWRP 2.7
If you come from 4.2.9 Stock Rom you can root it with FRAMAROOT 1.93 –> Then install TWRP 2.7 in mobile unclemtktools with recovery update
PUT MTK NVRAM TOOL.zip into sdcard
ENTER TWRP RECOVERY :
Power off the phone, then do the following:
– Power button + volume button up, to enter the recovery mode.
INSTALL MTK NVRAM TOOL.ZIP FROM SDCARD withouth any wipe. This is a fantastic AROMA TOOL, so you only need to backup your NVRAM, then exit and return to recovery.
ATTENTION: MOBILEUNCLETOOLS DOESN'T RESTORE IMEI IN ANDROID 4.4 SO YOU HAVE TO RESTORE IT ONLY WITH MTK NVRAM TOOL
STEP 2 : INSTALL AOSP ROM
IN TWRP perform a full WIPE –> WIPE–> ADVANCED WIPE–> SELECT
– Dalvik Cache
– Cache
– Data
Return to recovery main interface and Install zip from sdcard:
- Select your ROM FILE.ZIP –> It will launch my installation procedure
- At the end, don't reboot, INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD –> MTK NVRAM TOOL.ZIP –> This will launch AROMA –> Restore your NVRAM/IMEI previously saved on your sdcard –> EXIT –> REBOOT SYSTEM
All done, Enjoy your new KitK4tAOSP ROM!! PATIENCE, THE FIRST BOOT IS ABOUT 5 MINUTES.
================================== ATTENTION!!! ==================================
I invite everyone to make a nandroid backup. Only if you have done the backup and you are able to restore the device then you can write me relatively few bugs in the rom or any other problem.
So ATTENTION! … You did not do a Nandroid backup? … You are not able to restore the device? … Well, do not write to me, because I will not answer to you!!
================================== ATTENTION!!! ==================================
