Before you start let me make it clear that, I don't own this device or don't have any connection with it. I put this thread only because my friend from Chandigarh, India requested me to do a guide on customizing this device. So, I collected information from members related to this device & from other forums.
The Roms listed here are not my works, so it may or may not work with your device. I tried my level best to make it as simple as it can.
ROOTING
First of all, you need to Root your device.
Use Universal Androot, you can download the software here
Use Root Explorer or any file management softwares to install.
Now download the Rom Manager and install it.

Next you need to Install the stock Recovery Menu.
The complete procedure as well as the required files can be downloaded here.
Just downloaded & extract the file and follow the steps.
CUSTOMIZED RECOVERY

So, it need to be modified to install any custom rom.
You can download the custom Recovery here
Extract the file, Use Android Download Tool provided in the package to install.
Select only the Recovery option and flash the device with it.
Now reboot into recovery you can see a new recovery menu with options to install any zip file.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR DEVICE

Dear XOLO Q 3000 users,

The rom can be downloaded from the google drive url: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz8Fgu4wkBnqYzEzWE5Fd2N2ajQ/edit?usp=sharing
I have already provided the recovery file in an earlier porting.
If there is anything more please ask for. I am Modding the HDC note3 4.3.1 ROM the camera is still a problem. I will port screen shots and the rom soon.
Extract CWM recovery form the .tar file from the url below and t and use mobileuncle tool to install it, if you are already not installed CWM in your phone.

Thanks for your thrust.
I was able to mode the few MIUI roms and MIUI Rom of ZP980 4.4 and Kit kate roms for our XOLO Q3000 I am still fine tuning it and I hope to release it today evening or night.
I have normal version and AROMA version modded.
The problem is in MIUI roms the phone storage of 12 GB or more is not visible. IF i could not I will port and then latter we will rectify them one by one. Further after pop up of Logo, the phone become black and after 2 minutes it boot to normal when we press power button. I am trying to rectify it.
Please wait till today.
In the mean time I port here a CWM flashable version of Carliv Touch Recovery V 2.2 based MTK v6 6.0.4.4 both AROMA Version and a normal flashable.
Further you can extract the recovery file and flash it through Smart phone "Flash Tool or through Mobileuncle Tool
If you have any difficulties in booting your phone I am also porting the stock boot image extracted from my phone.
Thanks for your interest

I am providing below the google drive url where the X0LO Q3000 STOCK BASED MIUI is ported.
Before doing anything kindly back up your ROM and IMEI and all data.
The Rom is modded from one of the roms available in the http://www.androidpt.com/index.php?/...roms-24042014/. It has been modded by copying files from other roms and most of them from the stock XOLO Q3000 rom.
I can not say all of them are working but most of the features are working. This is the first time I am using the MIUI Rom and it looks more customer friendly.
You have to be little patient. After pop up of Logo, the screen go black but boots up nearly after 90 seconds or 2 minutes with the boot sound. and hence do not panic.
I shall try to rectify what all required if I hear from you.
Procedure:
1. Down load the ROM from the url: Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz8Fgu4wkBnqNExrU0doV0lXS2s/edit?usp=sharing
2. take it as it is to your internal or external sd card.
3. save your rom, data and IMEI.
The IMEI can be backed up by using Mobile uncle Tool, in case of you loosing it. It did not happen to me. but as a cautin it is always better.
3. Go to recovery and Wipe all data, system and catche using any one of the recovery method with has been ported earlier.
4. Now go to te ROM zip file you have just copied and flash it.
5. Wait for one or 2 minutes. After pop up of Logo and appearance of bloack screen, the signal icons at the bottom will glow and you may here booting audio sound.
6. Now press the power button and your screen will glitter with lockscreen.
7. Follow the instructions there on.
8. After entering the MIUI Lock screen first you search for the SuperSU and click it. Install it. Now your phone is rooted. Without doing it it is difficult to achieve root. This was poping in the first pop and goes away if we do not care it in the original one. Now for convenience it has been put to leisure activity. If you do not want to root your phone do not bother about it.
Enjoy.
There are some more ROMs are on pipe line, after hearing the response I shall port them, mainly due to time constrains, it is delayed.
Hello, thank you for the touch recovery.. Brother can you please provide a kit-kat rom for this phone...I found your thread on xda which has kit-kat rom...does that rom work well with this phone..does it have any bugs/lags etc..
Already ported in a new thread. Please scout.
Thanks for encouragement.
Sent from my Q3000 using xda app-developers app
No bugs to my knowledge. You may verify and report. I shall try to provide solution.
Just by appropriate changes of files these MTK phones may accommodate other phones toms also

tried ur stock rom and miui
Why the internal storage is only 2 gb.
I am not using any external card as our phone has 16 gb internal.
if i install ur roms internal storage is not shown as it is.
instead it shows only 2 gb ???
Any solution for this??
I alrady posted in this thread regarding BQ aquaris 5.7 roms (same as our phone)
in those roms u can see internal stoarage of 16gb ??? How???
http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=772316 (see this link)
If we first flash the bq stock Rom with SP tool flasher, notice there they have given only EBR1. But no EBR2. You will get both internal and phone storage.
If you flash that Rom in XOLO you get internal storage 12 GB, external SD plus phone storage further 16 GB.
I tried other SP Flashable ROMs with that EBR1 File but phone did not boot at all.
Please note this. You open the ROM FILE, open the system, open the etc folder.
Now search for the extra vold2.fstab file and remove it from the folder. Do these edit operations remaining in the zip folder.
Flash the Custom Rom and try the enhanced storage just by flashing as you did, may ebr1 and ebr2 alone.
Format factory /data. Reboot.
Now the internal storage will be visible.
Try
Otherwise please wait till I port how we can increase the storage to 1.93 GB 2.46 GB 7 GB . My test reveals stock Rom works fine. Kit Kat Rom works fine I have 2 more ROMs I will check them tonight and port. I have up loaded the files to Google drive
7 GB in first boot do no recognise second SIM but third boot it functions.
.
I will test MIUI Rom and port tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks for reminding me.
You remove the extra Void file provided
If flash the bq stock Rom

i've downloaded all 3 files attached here. but, before i proceed, i'd like a clarification/confirmation:
i understand there are several build nos., depending on how old/recent your device is.
i've seen XOLO_Q3000_S003_15102013 here, XOLO_Q3000_S009_02122013 here etc. mine is XOLO_Q3000_S011_25022014.
is the recovery.img present in the attached files here usable on all these devices (irrespective of the build no.)?
i've already extracted it. md5 checksum: 68e91ef520a215cd029d8606c489aed7. can i install it using Mobileuncle Tools safely?

DEARFriend,
The recovery extracted depends on the boot.img that is used. If the boot.img of yours and the extracted recovery at that time is same then it can be used. Otherwise some functions may not work in the recovery, even it accepts the recovery.img. This is my experience. As I informed the XOLO Q3000 accepts three diffeent boot .img file and perfectly boots up. But the Carliv recovery which I have ported in my AROMA pertain to the stock boot.img file.
But ithe same also is used in MIUI ROMs customized by me. It is working normal. It mostly depends on the size of the .img files in general

i've already extracted it. md5 checksum: 68e91ef520a215cd029d8606c489aed7. can i install it using Mobileuncle Tools safely?

If u have doubts regarding recovery.
u can just try it without installing it by booting in recovery not flashing it.
for this purpose u need adb tools and windows.
First install drivers for phone. (http://ge.tt/2yL21VT/v/2)
use adb tools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474956)
extract adb tools in a dir preferably on c:\
put ur desired recovery in same folder
connect ur phone with usb cable
now goto command prompt (cmd)
goto adb directory
type adb reboot bootloader (so ur phone wil restart and stop at xolo logo)
then type fastboot boot (the recovery name).img (this will on boot in particular recovery without flashing it.
if it boot in recovery means its working
by this method u can just backup ur stock rom with stock recovery.
if u want perment cwm recovery then flash it.
using fastboot flash recovery.img

This just keeps getting better and better.....thanks millions....Avi....well collated recovery thread.....its has everything we need....
Thanks for this post, man. I'll try the Stock Recovery for the OTA I've been getting since months. Because I've read somewhere that OTA only works on Stock recoveries.
Edit: The Stock recoveries here are S003 and S011. Mine is S009. Which one should I try?

First thing is
Please dont quote whole post.
it is posted by me only and just few post above on same page.
Ur screenshot is very poor cant see anything please re upload with good resolution.
after pressing that download button u need to connect ur phone in switched off condition.
r u doing this as instructed.??
Please explain the process ur following?
Ur porting cwm means??
Or u mean to say flashing/installing??
which cwm ur using please specify.?
ow! sorry for the way i had posted the thing but thanks for the way you replied- it was quite Quick!!
so, herewith i have attached the zip file (for the better resolution) and jpg file as well (size i could manage within the limitation of this forum) of screenshot where i stuck...View attachment 083.zip
yes, i connected my phone in switched off condition after pressing download button...
i had followed exactly the same way as you have explained for the non-rooted device....
and it was newbie thing that i had written "porting cwm" instead of "installing/flashing cwm"...yes, i was trying to flash/install cwm...
recovery i tried to install is:- [CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch 6.56.2 - cwm 6.0.5.0
Thanks for helping me...
sorry i had just forgotten to mention the scatter file i had used....obviously yes, it is the same as you have uploaded as:-

download recovery.

open SP Flash Tool, then click Scatter-loading button to load the scatter file

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
however, i had to rename it as MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt as the scatter file i had downloaded had have the name as attachment.php
also note that i had put zip file of recovery [CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch 6.56.2 - cwm 6.0.5.0 and that scatter file in same folder as well....
kindly check if i had done any mistake there...
i have attached the scatter file to which i had renamed...
sp flash tool stuck at download mode?
ok may be i have found the mistake while posting just above the procedure i had done!!!
sp flash tool stuck at the download mode may be because i had done mistake (if it is?! ok, i cant confirm it until i can get xolo q3000 back to me or until someone here can confirm that yes, this was the mistake) as below:_
i had downloaded zip file of recovery
then i had downloaded scatter file of xolo q3000 as mentioned in my previous post
i had renamed the scatter file i had downloaded as MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt as the scatter file i had downloaded had have the name as attachment.php (may be silly newbie thing here!!!)
i had put both those files in same folder
and did rest of the procedure as mentioned by avi3230 (OP) here in same thread for non-rooted xolo q3000 just a few posts above...
...and what should i have done?
i should have downloaded only the zip file of desired recovery and then if i extracted it, i could find that there are all the necessary files including recovery.img and scatter_file within the extracted folder!!!
i would like to attach screenshot of wrong thing i had done:- image named as "wrong"
and what i should have done is may be here:- image named as "may be"
i think i was trying to install zip file instead of recovery.img that should be there in extracted folder of recovery.zip along with the scatter_file as well...so, here now i have got where and why i had confused
Put scatter file and recovery image in same folder.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ok, if zip file of recovery has properly zipped, has properly downloaded and if it has properly extracted then you should find both the recovery.img and scatter_file within extracted folder....if not so, then you should put (get together) the scatter file and recovery image in "same folder" means in extracted folder....
confused? then i can only say sorry for my english but why i had posted the whole thing here? may be because someone can find that what kind of silly things those can be done by newbies....and if so, they can help....

Yeah already seen that no support for philz now.
TWRP is bigger in size and u need to change partition size of recovery.
which is another headache for TWRP.
I already have it but again u need to flash whole stock rom again as whole
preloader boot recovery will change.

is it fully working on both bases - jb and kk? does it allow jb/kk rom switching? what are the drawbacks of flashing whole stock rom again?
what if we make full backup of data (call log/sms/mms/dictionary etc.) and also apps+apps-data using my backup app......
....... - can those be restored in the new setup and be up & running? if so, i don't foresee much troubles. do you?
you being much more experienced, please elaborate. thanks.

As TWRP is larger in size most of the time it wont boot in recovery.
also backing up of recovery wont work on 7mb recovery partition in any cwm based recovery.
So i feel we should stick to philz.

I already have twrp made for device which is easy.
its size is more than 6mb which is the issue.
u can change size of recovery to almost 11mb but then it wont boot in recovery specifically on 6589 chipsets. then whats t use.
to make it boot in recovery we need to change values in preloader.bin which is difficult task.
if anyone working on ubuntu please make an kernel with drivers files from this source.
if using this kernel twrp is less than 6mb then everything will be fine.

As it was a major problem faced, while porting or developing custom recovery such as TWRP, Philz Touch, CWM, CTR etc, that our device has low space of 6 MB for recovery and we have to trim recovery to fit in that space. But, I got success to extend recovery block to 9 MB. So, now we can port custom recovery to our Xolo Q3000, with full functionality, with minimum/ without trimming.
Procedure:
1) Download the attached Recovery-9MB.rar file.
2) Extract it.
3) Copy/Cut and paste the files, in Stock ROM, replacing existing MBR & scatter file.
4) Flash the Stock KK ROM, using SP Flash Tool.
5) After flashing, Start the phone, wait for it to boot up.
6) It's done, you have recovery block of 9 MB.
