[Q] rooting my citycall android i6310. - General Questions and Answers

well now to make my question as simple as possible, I need to root my citycall android phone. the model number is i6310. I came to know that my phone runs on a spreadtrum processor with the help of an app called CPU identifier. the app reports the following.
CPU type: spreadtrum sc6820a 1000MHZ
smartphone type: sprd i6310(sp8810), spreadtrum based device
supported frequency states: 1
neon capable (for fast videos playback)
ram memory module 256MB DDR (usable 222MB)
GPU : MALI 300 (single core gpu)
my manufacturer is citycall.
I could not root it with any of the one click apps for root. eg: framaroot, z4root, gingerbreak, etc:-. I will give u more Information if needed. please help me in this case. also my phone reports that it runs on jellbean. but I am sure that it is not. maybe gingerbread. last piece of note is I am an entry level to android. so please be kind enough to explain steps simpler. and if saying about some technical stuff, please explain me. also I'm am not a Linux user. I am a win7 64 bit ultimate user.
I have tried to root via system but I need drivers for that. so please help me in that area too!!
Please forgive my English if I had made mistakes.
lastly I thank u wholeheartedly for your patience for reading my long question.
thanks in advance!!

ROMs are pretty device-specific, so if you only find a ROM for your device, then you can flash, otherwise stay away as it can easily brick your device.
Many Chinese forums do custom ROM development works like here in XDA, you may have to ensure which is your device first of all, and then search about it in Google.
As with your questions:
1 - Yes, have to determine which is your chipset (Can get all infos by using Quadrant Benchmark app)
2 - Install the ROM if you only find anything for your device.
Well, it would help if you could post some pictures of the device. Maybe someone will know what it is.
But anyway, basically you have to find out what chipset it has (CPU architecture, SoC etc.) and compare it to some branded devices so that you know what kind of ROMs and kernels you should be looking for.
Another option is to pull out any information about the currently istalled ROM and kernel and search a little to find out for what devices those are.
Good luck btw

I highly doubt because the hardware mentioned over there is pretty much unknown or I've not heard at least. If it was Qualcomm it starts with MSMxxx , Mediatek starts with MTxxx, Rockchip with RKxxx so I'm clueless.
The nearest bet you could do is, somehow find the device Model name and search for it, maybe some Chinese forums does development of that device, but don't give much hope.

[Q] lots of questions on changing OS

Can you guys point me in the right direction.
I was gonna post this in the help thread but Im afraid I have too many questions
1. What does it mean when I get 'Parse Error' when trying to install a game .apk?
Ive seen other phones with same cpu/gpu with new ICS OS running the game.
Does this mean the game doesnt support my old Gingerbread OS even though I have the same cpu/gpu?
For example, my phone can run GTA Vice City without any lag, but it gets the parse error when trying to install
Evertales, Gangstar west, and Brother in arms 2.
2. If I do need ICS, how do I format and change OS of my phone?
Ive seen other phones such as the Micromax A68 Smarty with the same MediaTek MT6515 cpu has ICS on them.
Im wondering if its possible to change the Gingerbread OS of my phone to ICS.
3. If I manage to successfully update to ICS, wont the phone need drivers for Wifi/Wlan, Camera, Touchpad, etc.?
I ask this because I build computers and know that windows doesnt auto detect drivers for some motherboards.
Phone model: Cherry Mobile Sonic
Specs:
4-inch HVGA (320x480) capacitive display, 144ppi
1GHz single-core MediaTek MT6515 processor
Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread)
PowerVR SGX531 GPU
256MB of RAM (211MB usable)
512MB of internal storage (180MB usable)
microSD support up to 32GB
1 - You answered the question yourself
Yes, your phone OS may not support the app.
2 -Check the development threads for your phone on xda
3- No.

[Q] ip330tv rom above android 2.3

Hi to everyone first post here so i hope this is the right session anyway:
i've bought this mentioned trevi ip 330tv:
it's supposed to be an arm cortex a9 with 512mb of ram, i'm trying to understand if this is just a rebrand of some chinese/international model in order to find a newer rom (currently it's running android 2.3).
i've linked what the datasheet trevi produce on its site hoping someone may be able to recognize it from the picture.
ps: yes data sheet say it's a cortex a8 but it's wrong probably they planned to release it with a8 and then they move to a9 without update the manuals.
any other kind of advice on this kind of device it's welcome, i'm aware that a lot of this device share same hardware so i hope that someone can point me to a good rom even if not really intended for this specific device.
thank you in advance

Custom Rom Needed For Kult Beyond

Hi Developers
I am buy a new phone it's name is Kult Beyond.
----------specifications----------

Rom - 32GB
Screen - 5.2" IPS HD display
Network - 4G/3G/2G
Battery - 3000mAh
Android - Stock Nougat 7.0

-------------------------------------
I am not a Developer so i dont know about how to create TWRP and custom rom.
please make any MIUI 8 ported Rom and TWRP recovery for my device.
sorry for my English.
I need same for my kult beyound please somebody step up
Requesting the members to develope roms and recovery for my device
Greetings to one and all present here.Kindly develop some recoveries and roms for my device, ie kult beyond
This is sad.Looks like we made a huge mistake by taking this phone and look how lazy xda members are, they can't even a create a custom recovery for a phoneand they call themselves developers
Don't know about xda but we definitely had done wrong by purchasing it. Total bull****. I even got to know that this device won't get any more update for oreo. We will get stuck on 7.0 only
I also have the same phone.Have been using it for the past 10 months.It is a nice phone but It has some software-based bugs which I feel Developers here can fix -
1) Phone going to silent mode randomly
2) I have to switch on and off Airplane mode to make
Outgoing calls work
3) RAM Management is quite poor.Always above 2GB used,so it requires Optimization
4) Battery,even if it says 3000MaH,It acts like a 1000MaH.Lasts about 4 hours of screen-on time.Again,Down to Optimization I think.
I have contacted kULt about this but no fixes seem to be coming...They seem to completely ignore old Products and focussed on Marketing and new budget offerings.
