regarding using of nexus 5 factory image on my device - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone!..This is the question I wanted to be answered by you experts out there.
I own a Spice Coolpad Mi-515 (which is same as Coolpad 7295). I badly want to install latest version of android on my device but I am unable as my device provider doesn't release any updates. Hence as an alternative I have been looking for the stock android rom (v4.4 and later). SO my question is that, does the Nexus 5 factory image released by Google work for my device(if no, then does it work with any modifications to the same rom)..Please help me out guys.I would be indebted to your help. I like android so much that I want to try latest version.
Thankyou

It won't work for you device

you would need binaries for lollipop for your device. if none exist, then it wouldnt work. the nexus factory img has device specific stuff just for the n5 and no other device.

Hi, sad to say. There is no development carried out for your device, hence why you were unable to find any custom roms lurking around the internet. Judging by the year model of this device, it is fairly old and let me blast out all the sadness to you.
I highly doubt your device will receive any update.
Same with custom roms, but maybe some dev may get this phone? Idk why.
And may make a custom rom for it.
Sad to say friend, your device is far to outdated to receive ICS or JB or any new Android platform.
Time for you to upgrade if you wish to say in line within the platform standards.

ohh k thanks for the reply well is it not like that i can flash wid any android 2.3.4 custom firmware ? for ex, here are the list
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196704, is that work ?
No that's not how it works.
If you flash another devices .IMG or ROM to your device it will brick it. Meaning it will no longer be usable.
Better explained, you can't install a Samsung firmware for your device. It won't work.

[Completed] [Q][HOW TO][MTK 6592] Back Up ROM, CWM-LOLLIPOP.

Hello everyone,
I'm here today to SEEK HELP. I have bought a variant of Wiko Slide 2 aka Cloudfone Excite Prime here in the Philippines. I wanted to make my personal back for this device that is flashable via SPFlashTool. Or make ".img" files for short. I already know how to that on my previous devices but that was KK having 3.4.6 kernel. This is my first LOLLIPOP device that is why I needed some advice and help.
My questions are:
1. How will I know if my bootloader is locked?
2. Is it necissary to unlocK the bootloader so that I could make full back up?
3. Can I directly back up this via MTKDroidTools(the most convenient back up method I ever tried for MTK)? Since it is using different kernel.
4. How do I make custom recovery or CWM for Lollipop(kernel 3.10.x) based?
That would be all for now. Please help me I really don't know stuffs for Android L since it is different from older versions. Thank you :good:

I doubt that will help you, so I suggest you try asking all of your questions in one thread created here,

Greetings and welcome to xda. The rom you want to install is this one yes ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/development/rom-nightowl-preview-t3455847
The rom will be pre rooted so you will only need to install your custom recovery and then flash the rom. Most of the users on xda are really friendly and helpful so do not be frightened of asking any questions in the the threads and the experts will help you (if they don't just threaten them with me haha). Anything you are unsure of just ask in here

I can not find alpha 6 but alpha 7 is nougat the other 2 night owl threads are mm and kk which I can link. Please note though it is only the operating system you are changing so your hardware will be the same but will have new feature
As long as you have installed the correct recovery you can back up your current rom and then try any of the 3 and return to your current rom safely. If you ask in this thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/help
the experts there will be able to assist you better as they have your device

[Completed] Infomir Mag260 Android 4.2.2

Greetings to all!
I would like to ask about this STB which uses Android 4.2.2 by default and it's already rooted.
Is there any possible way to load Custom Recovery and Custom Rom instead of using this simple and not effective one already installed by factory?
I could ask on Infomir's help support forum but here i believe i could find better support.
Incase you want to help i refer on this model.
Hi !
I couldn`t find anything related to your device here on xda and most probably there is no custom rom available . For this it needs kernel and device sources which I`m afraid that aren`t available , sorry
Cheers !
No worries thanks for your time and reply!

Lacking Discussion on VT85C "A old Videocon Tablet"

I own a videocon VT85C tablet. Its roughly 5 to 6 years old. This thing has 1Gb RAM.
I have rooted this device thanks to XDA team, however, presently I would like to flash a custom ROM on it.
I have tried official TWRP app but my device isn't listed on it. Even tried with clockworkmod and flashify but couldn't find a working thing.
I don't want this device to get bricked.
So basically I wanted help regarding some discussion on this device. A help would be very much appreciated.
Yes I am a new registered user here, so might be getting some difficulty to adapt to this environment. Thank You. Please help
