Okay thank you SOOO much for that, Another question, is it possible that they sent me a Legend instead of a Spark and thats why the Spark ROM bricked my phone? How would i tell the difference between the two?
And thanks again for the support.

Out of curiosity i downloaded a ROM for the Legend, I installed that and it seems they have sent me a HDC Galaxy S4 Legend because after flashing with that ROM it works perfect. I did buy a Spark but was sent a Legend. What is different on the ROMs? Sorry for all the questions, new to ROMs
Zak, which ROM did you download? I'll try it on my Spark.
Do you still want my ROM?
To know if you have a Legend, you should:
See this video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/utXbKdbDcyI
Go to a store and put an S-View cover on it. Close it. If it works, (S-View mode) you have a Legend!
Other good test: Spark has only 1-side gesture. Legend has both-sides gesture working. How about yours?

I've tried a Legend Rom on my Spark and it did not bootup
I'll wait for Zak's response and try his ROM on my Spark, then I tell you.

Zak. I have your same problem. Tried updating to fluffy rom but ended up causing my phone to ?brick. Now it won't start. No LED, no back light .... nada. Connects though to SP flash tools and can read back, do memory test and able to upload scatter file which only ticks both bootimg and recovery. Don't have the files for the rest (ie preloader, mbr etc etc).
I see from your screen shot you managed to download the whole spark rom with the files I need. Where did you get it?
Did you revive your phone? I hope there's hope for mine....

Where did you download your Legend ROM?
The S-view flip cover works on mine. It can also respond to calls with air gestures. Everything that a Legend can do plus the Spark features. But it is not a Legend. I tried to flash the -fluffy- Rom for Legend and it soft bricked. I think the early versions of Spark didnt have the S-View cover support and had only 1-way gesture support. The latest ones were updated by the looks of it.

The stock ROM came together with the phone, I didnt download it. It is probably the one you have now too. My build number starts with JDQ39. All phones with that number should have the same ROM on it. I could be mistaking though.
Looks like I have the same phone with ZakBrindle.

My build number is differente from yours: ALPS.JB2.MP.V1.2

How about your display: is it 2-point or 5-point multitouch?

For anyone who got the new Tribute GoPhone by Huawei for AT&T. I found out that the bootloader can be unlocked by following these directions:
http://translate.google.com/transla...al-bootloader-unlock-fuer-alle-huawei-phones/
Hopefully there will be a way to root it soon!
EDIT: Okay well it showed it was unlocking but now it says phone locked again, so I don't know....
Have you tried with zzkey option? Do you know if this phone same as Huawei Ascend Y536-A1?
Looks like someone already figure out a way to unlock it, but still trying to root it.

I'm getting this phone on Tuesday. So does this "bootloader" have to be unlocked to be able to root this device? I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff. The Tribute has TONS of bloatware so rooting it would be great.

I think so. I just emailed HUAWEI and they gave me the unlock code and you just replace it with the UUUUUUUUUUUUU in that tutorial.
Their email is [email protected]
Over in another XDA thread they posted that they finally have a CWM Recovery & Root for the Y550 (which as it has been noted is EXTREMELY similar to the Y536a1). Cannot guarantee it will work on the Y536a1, but seeing how similar they are it may be worth a shot! All you need to get started is an Unlocked Bootloader (which is readily available by e-mailing Huawei). I would try it on the Y536a1 I bought for my Mom, but it's her daily driver and if it doesn't work I'll never hear the end of it... LINK FOR THE BRAVE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57359697&postcount=13
didn't work for me
It didn't work for me, I followed the instructions, I have the bootloader unlocked, but when I click the install-windows file, It installs recovery and get a message that says press any key to continue, afterwards, when I try to boot into recovery by pressing volume up + power, I get back into the bootloader, no matter what combination I use.
Tribute phone question
The previous question was dumb, but I will change this to say that the general code does not work for my Y53A1
Should have a custom recovery in a few days when I get time. Unlocked bootloader required of course. I also have the stock rom. I will open a new thread when it's ready with a tutorial.

Clearing out the AT&T bloatware will clear up about an additional 150 MB or so of system rom was the first thing I did. I had to change the permissions of /system/app /data/app to full read/write to tinker with it. I thought just because ES3 file manager was in root mode I could add/delete apps without any of that, but apparently not. That's probably common knowledge to everyone here, I'm new to this.
I got a few phones and I kept going back to this one because of the incredible battery life. You'll notice that battery saving features are turned on by default in the stock rom, combined with the Qualcomm MSM8926 chipset in it gives it a good recipe for me getting 6 hours of screen on time on about 20 hours of battery with both wifi and LTE turned on. I can go for days if I'm just using casual screen on time.
After installing an xposed module for OBB on SD, this phone that comes with little over a gig of usable internal storage becomes possibly the best value LTE phone here in the US in my opinion.
Huewei tech support from [email protected] ignored my first email requesting an unlock code. A week later I sent it again and had it in an hour. I thought that might be helpful information to everyone. So don't give up. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks stevotdo for the hard work.

I think we should get a main thread going because there are like 5 I counted with people posting.
I need a good usb tether app. Easy tether has issues with my laptop.
I also want to activate the navbar on this phone.
Xstana on Xposed didn't work.
Did you have to disable the resource hooks api? There was a warning after I installed xposed saying that Huawei stock roms don't play well. I want to use Gravity box!!!!
Advice?

Crazy!
This is going to be one of the under the radar surprise devices of the year.

Unable to get unlock code
I sent the "request unlock code" email [email protected], then again yesterday, and I did not see any response yet. Does anyone else not able to get unlock code ?
Remember there's a major time difference between the US and there I send mine at about 2 a.m. Central us time and it took about 5 hours to get it back because it was pretty much afternoon over there so you may want to send a real real late because it'll actually go to a personal open it up and not sit there overnight for somebody to open their email the next day

Hey, guys.
This is not a BEST ROM THREAD. Just out of curiosity, I wanna know what ROMs you guys use and why? Also describe what kernels and mods you're using? It's just a fun little way to see what works for different people.
For example, I am using SlimKat with 907 MB RAM (thanks to @Android-Andi), Pure Performance X, L Speed and ViperFX. What are you guys using???

BrokenOS, i use this rom on my phone too, just love it. I also use A.R.I.S.E sound systems
I'm using Slim6 because I wanted a simple ROM, as I use my tablet mostly for web browsing and videos. It's the ROM which suits me the best.
I'm using the CM11 ROM by @Android-Andi because this ROM is the most stable ROM i've ever used ! Also Pokémon GO works well on it . :victory:

Have you noticed that when you have the tab plugged in it shows that it's not charging? IE: If you pull the drop down menu down it says charging where the wifi/blue tooth icons are, but if you turn to the screen via the lock screen or go to battery in the menu it says "not charging"... This is the ONLY thing I find wrong with that rom otherwise I'd definitely run it.
I've tried so many thing and it still doesn't show charging even though IT IS charging..... Like this rom a ton but that's the only thing that is driving me nuts about it.
Looking forward to seeing if you have seen the same thing.

Installed perfectly and the only gripe is when it's plugged in and you go to the battery menu it says "not charging" even though it is. Pull the drop down menu and the tiny icon shows that it's charging.
But if it's on the lock screen it doesn't show charging (even though it is)

I've got two (both OEM), both give the same thing.
Soon as I wipe the rom, install SlimKat or anything else I plug it in and it says charging. Wipe it again, install CM11 and then get the "not charging" even though it is.
I'm going to fiddle with it tomorrow.

I saw a thread for Lineage OS even for the Nexus 4. When does it come to our Pixel Device? Isn't the support for this device not as great for the Nexus Phones?
Starting out slower here, there are challenges with the new dual boot and some other additional things. Plus I am sure they already pretty much had all the other phones done.
Okay, then let's wait and see. [emoji4]
I am anxiously awaiting LinageOS as well. I am a long time CM user and hopefully some there is enough similarity to keep me entertained. Well I have not used CM in about 2 years but thats because I've been using Blackberry. Man BB10 is pretty awesome but the lack of app support kills it. I loved the hub and that everything was a swipe rather than a push to click style.
I might try a DU rom or the Pure Nexus rom just because I think its going to be awhile for LinageOS to get a rom going on the pixel.
Nice to see there is a build up for XL users hopefully sailfish will get some love too?

I would totally do that, but since I'm really more a user than a developer ( i can barely unlock my bootloader and install a custom recovery, haha) i have no clue how to do that.
so..
Has anybody built this rom in the meantime?
best regards!

Even if I see almost everywhere that marlin and sailfish are almost the same with only 1 difference (screen size), I can't find any working build. There were a few (like the one from invisiblek), but none of them was working. I guess the XL is much more popular (just like the opposite of my earlier thoughts). ? Until we get some dev support, we still have the Hexa ROM, which based on Lineage and works pretty well (even if the dev also does not own the device). ?
Sailfish builds resumed yesterday. Look in the XL thread.

i am looking into getting sailfish (although i probably wont), but i can try and build lineage for it, for you to see if anyone wants to see if it works.
edit- seeing as a few of you have thanked this, i imagine you would want it, previously i had troubles, but im trying again.
i think i saw elsewhere, that there are already official builds, but ill carry on, i find this stuff fun!
edit- i can make the kernel, i can also build recovery (although no file is made ), but there is always an error to do with dependencies, probably because half the stuff is in marlin rather than sailfish, but im not good enough to know how to fix it, and i dont really have the time to enquire, but otherwise, you can probably find builds elsewhere.

Trying to decide if I can live without root and give it a go.
Looking forward to hearing experiences, bugs and what not before I make the jump.

Lol should have seen that one coming. It's killing me not to take the leap so I may end up just saying f it and going in blind.

Did it! So far so good. I'm going to see if root will work, tested calling and messaging and stuff and it seems fine. I didn't wipe either.

No root but that was pretty well a given.

New animations are really smooth. A lot of cool little bounce effects.

There is a new partition that appears to be part of the early boot process so Magisk will need some work. Mr. Wu is looking at it, but it may be trial and error on his part until source is released.
I wonder if this still works?
adb shell sm set-isolated-storage off
Is it just me or is Android getting boring. I see no innovation is this new release. I'm starting to think I have been here too long. Apple will never be an option for me. I will definitely live with the incremental iterations of Android but am loosing my passion. Show me something earth shattering like you once did.

you said you didnt wipe, but it still delete all you data in phone right?
im in non unlocked bootloader
Just installed the OTA about an hour ago. So far all of my apps are working ok, including Chase and Capital One. Google Pay I have not tried using yet at a machine.
The only thing that I am missing is the voicemail tab on the dialer. Also my galaxy watch is a bit sluggish right now, but that may be due to low battery.

I flashed the OTA without wiping and it did not delete any data.

Remove -w from the fastboot flash all batch file
*Sorry read that wrong initially. I don't think the ota file wipes automatically but I can't say for sure.
Root may take awhile, Google removed /sbin from the root directory. That is causing him issues. No TWRP isn't helping either.
Has anybody on Google Fi that uses an e-SIM flashed the preview yet? I haven't been able to get my service to fully activate since flashing. Calls and texts can still be made, but the fun things like RCS and VPN can't be used until the service is activated.
Just curious. I know it's a preview and things will be broken. I'm more looking for corroborating information and if anybody's discovered a workaround.
Download Fialer from PlayStore and do a Sim Switch or mess with the cellular info in fialer other than that mine is up a running fine which I use Hangouts for msg.

Yesterday I got just under 16 hours with just under 6 of screen on time. That was with Bluetooth on and listening to podcasts all day.

Hi All, Sorry for the Newbie question... I have a Pixel 2 and 3 as a play around phone as I use an S10 for my work/main line...
So, would love to give 11 a go... Last time I just received an OTA to join and I see OTA being mentioned ... So just curious do we have to flash this first beta manually or can we get access via an OTA?

You have to flash this one manually. They don't release the sign up until beta 1. This is still in developer preview stage, though extremely stable.
