[Q] Re-Install Custom Android!

so i have a vodafone joy 845 mobile and first thing i noticed what the slow android he had by vodafone.... so i found the thread about the Mr.Edition Custom Rom and did everything "by the book" and its now working better than before...
i recenlty found out tho about the merge of the celestial tea pot rom and the mr.edition one... and i want to install that rom !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741643
the question is : which steps do i have to do again ?
-my phone is rooted so i skip the root step right ?!
- also i already did the superboot thingy the first time , i will skip that too ?
-i only do the recovery mode part which partition my sd card and the custom rom install parts ?!
- also : i did not yet grasp the JIT part.. should i enable it and how ?! like i flash the custom android ?
thx in advance . this forum is extremely helpfull and had fun rooting my phone and my brothers and so on ( 5 so far! )

Bumpy mac bump!

[Q] K-Touch Hornet II V9

Hello dear XDA-developers,
I am thinking of buying a new phone, so i came across this phone called the "K-Touch Hornet II V9", it is a Chinees phone. and I couldn't find it on xda-developers.com.
So I was wondering if it is possible to have a Custom Rom installed on it.
Maybe to create my own Custom Rom with this toolbox:http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...stallation-with-android-ultimate-toolbox-pro/
I have a technical background so I guess this should be manageable for me to understand.
Anyways hope to get some reactions on this topic.
Cheers, and many thnxs in advanced,
DesireDroid
Ps.: I currently have a HTC Desire (classic) and rooted that one. and installed some custom roms on it. like the Leedroid custom rom:

Hello,
I am interesting in your request because i have the same device.
Could you tell me if you found anything about an alternative ROM for the "K-Touch Hornet II V9" ?
Regards

ROM found
I've found a ROM (Cyanogen 10.1) at the following web site (i can't post a link due to my too young status) : needrom (add www end dot com )
Then add the following path : /mobile/k-touch-v9-2/

Succelfully ROOT K-Touch V9
Hi, las nigth I rooted the Phone whis this tool www . srsroot.com
I have selected the First Root method.
and the program tried to root the phone whith several different tools, and in the process make the phone reboot several times...
In the final steps i was very nervous becouse the phone was rebooting in a loop like half and hour... The Root program in my PC were telling me to wait 1 minute after the phone boot and press ok in the win window after that.
1 time the phone stop looping the boot, so then i tried to unlock the screen to check... but once i didt it, the phone starts to reboot in a loop again.
So, the next time i saw the phone boot ok, i didnt unlock the screnn. I just wait ti finish the boot and press the ok button in my PC.
An then the root program tells me that the root its OK!! The program finished intalling the Superuser.apk... And thats all...
I download Root Checker.apk and verify the succes root after agree to the Superuser App to allow root privileges to the aplication...
I rebooted again the phone and I checked that the root in permanet..
So, by now is how far a can go...
Now I need to intall the CMW 6.0.1.1 to finally Flash a ROM in Spanish and after that intall Gapps from Google...
The same program that root the phone, can make it reboot in recovery mode whit CWM 6.0.1 but in chinese, anyway helping me whit another phone whit the same recovery in English i can go on whit the program and made a Backup of the rooted phone... but i think i am not safe this way flashing a new rom becouse if something go wrong i cannot boot again this mode if i dont boot the phone first in the normal way...
Could anybody help me whit that?
I almost forget, my version of android of my Ktouch V9 is 4.0 and with CN/EN Languages
I hope i did will be helpfull
Bye!
Guillermo

(Must remind that i9500 rom can be flashed over i9502 and works but you'll lose dual sim (there will be only one sim working) .There are a bunch of apps and modds from i9500 that are compatible with our i9502) .Please post here the ones you tested and i'll update the first page so they can be easy to find

Best would be to just root it and staying on stock ROM so you can enjoy the dual Sim AND install wanam xposed for all the extra features

problem with flashing
hi there and thank for this thread
i have problem mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46734691#post46734691
when i want to flash device with stock rom it fails as mentioned in that thread .
do you have any idea how do i flash my device ?

Hi, I see there's no live wallpaper on the sva rom v2.5, I've tried a couple of live wallpaper pickers but they keep crashing, can anyone post the stock one for galaxy s4. Thanks

live wallpapers are working on this ROM (do not mention the name or the thread will be closed because this ROM dev decided to sell his work here instead of sharing like everybody dose on this site ,leaving the donations as a free will) ,just be careful what you choose to install at the beginning of AROMA
I have the same problem in flashing the latest stock ROM ,I'll see what I can do about it and post here

Are you sure we can just flash any i9500 Rom in xda via cwm?
I know that I'll loose dual sum functionality, but as it seems dual sim is not as important as keeping the device up to date.
Thanks

Never tried the i9500 rom but I've read it here on the xda that is possible due to the same hardware specs ,only problem is losing dualsim functionality,i bought this device exactly for dual sim combined with hi-tech ,otherwise I would have taken i9505 witch is the most up-to-date and developed version of s4 .Still nothing on this world is 100% safe so ... each on his own in experimenting ,I take no responsibility :angel:

Dear Ledavi.
Can you share your opinion with me? I cannot enter Philz even after successfully installing it.
I have a Samsung S4 i9505
Using Odin 3 3.09 I have succesfully loaded Philz 6.55. Odin gives the "PASS!" message
But still I cannot figure out how to enter Philz:
pressing Volume up + home + power lets the device boot into the stock ROM 4.4.2
I have enabled
- debugging mode
- USB debugging
My device info are:
GT-I9502
Android 4.4.2
Baseband: I9502ZNUHNE4
Kernel: 3.4.1-1494240
SE for android status: enforced
Build number: KOT49H.
Questions:
Does Philz root the device? (Maybe this is the problem). I cannot see any SU super user app in the apps drawer
- What am I missing?
Thank you very much!

Hello
I have been working on I9502 for more than two month now. The main mistake I did is that I installed KK 4.4.2 stock ROM. After that I could not find a working method to root it I even tried the Chinese page (using Google Translate) with no luck even perfect rooting tools like Towelroot didn't work. Yet I have been able to install a lot of stuff like HTC Blinkfeed, LG G3 Keyboard and many other stuff. The trick is to install Philz Recovery of I9500 and the put AromaFM zip file on your SD card then flash it through the recovery. This will open a file manager window where you can copy and paste at will to System folder. After copy a few files the folder will be full. No worries just delete the APK of the Chinese apps from the App folder and you will have enough space to do a lot.
I hope some of the experts here will help us in rooting this device. Hope this helps

[Please Help] Trying to boot my Phicomm Passion 660

Hello Everyone,
I am just a n00b in here . Today I rooted my Phicomm Passion 660 with Kingroot 4.5 just to close all the unwanted start-up apps ( I know nthing except that about rooting ) . Then I found an OTA update from my phone's maker Phicomm and installed it , but the problem started after that . The phone doesn't turn on from then . It shows recovery screen with REBOOT , WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET , WIPE CACHE , UPDATE FROM SDCARD , APPLY UPDATES FROM ADB options.
I did all the first three options( tried rebooting several times , wiped data and wiped cache ) to get my phone up and runnin' , but it simply won't . :crying:
What have i done to my Phicomm Passion 660 ? Is there any suggestion from you ?
Or simply I have to throw it off ? ( becoz I did not install TWRP or CWM or any other hyper-stuff in that phone and i simply don't know what they do ? )
Note- After several hours of browsing , i am quite sure that i haven't bricked my phone . bcoz it starts to recovery mode and showing being charged . But , there is no Phicomm Passion 660 specific stuff on internet.

If some of you suggest me that i have ereased the stock OS that the phone came with , then i wish to install AOKP or CyanMod ( I learnt these 2 names on internet ) , i am desperate to get my phone up and running again .
Please Help .....

download the latest update firmware from phicomm website [ the url : http://na.phicomm.info/release/P660LIN/TF_update.zip ] .
try to follow these steps , http://www.phicommasia.com/upgrade-procedures.html
let us know ,if it works , All the best

Sorry for being late .
Just go to Phicomm India's Official site , grab the latest update file according to your device .
Keep the zip file in memory card , put it back in .
Reboot to recovery , flash it .
Enjoy.
