Unfortunately your device appears to be using a MediaTek processor which means it is hard for developers to port ROMs or make them for your phone. This is because MediaTek won't let us have a developer kit/SDK for the chips.

Your best hope is the manufacturer I'm afraid so it is not that good.

[Q] Root Blu Products Vivo 4.3

Does anyone knows how to root a Vivo 4.3 phone from Blu Products?
It came with Android 4.0.4
Regards
I just did some digging around on Google and I didn't see any development information regarding that handset. The trouble with the low-end phones/legacy devices/no-name brands is they don't see the mainstream and most developers don't even notice or care that they are there.
I've been doing some research to buy one of these cheap dual core dual sim phones. This has an MT6577 chipset and if I'm not mistaken there are quite a number of MT6577 phones which have been rooted. So I would imagine that this can be rooted, its just that there isn't any great interest surrounding it yet.
I just bought this device and looked all over but couldn't find a way to root it and to get things worse i live in brazil and this phone was not set to the brazilian phone numbers format.

This may be a begining. Do you know any ICS dual sim MT6577 that have been successfully rooted?

Also I know there are a few shops (such as etotalk), which root MT6577 phones. There's probably a few more threads around if you dig around a bit more.

The phone don't have an update option on the About menu, like other devices, and I don't really see any developer working on this device, so I really doubt we'll see Jelly Bean on this phone

[Q] Questions about flashing stock ROM

I recently found that my tablet, which does not support OTA updates, has a stock 4.4.2 ROM available for download. The only problem is that I'm not entirely sure on how to actually flash a new ROM to my device. From my understanding I do not need to unlock my bootloader to flash a stock ROM (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm not sure what to do beyond that. If it helps my tablet is a Ceros Revolution with a Rockchip RK3188 quad core processor, and isn't rooted. Also, will it delete my data off the tablet? Thanks in advance!

The problem is that I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only owners of this tablet, there is almost nothing for it anywhere on the internet.

Is there any way to extract the EMUI for use on other devices? I saw it on other sites but every one of them was down possibly because the company took them offline.
and thank you for this.

There always are ways to extract the UI and port to other roms but not worth the effort
EMUI is not that good as MIUI or even Samsung's UI, so why trying?

I guess it's an opinion but having used a lot of Samsung devices, anything is better than Samsungs Touchwiz lol

If you're a ROM Dev you could try porting the ROM, but using different CPU, GPU, Modem etc might be difficult to get fully functioning. I don't have time or interest to take up the challenge or assist.

They both have the same hardwares on them. So is it possible?

No. Not without certain tweaks anyway, because their model numbers etc differ. And also the camera module is different. They don't have exactly similar hardware.

I'm not a developer to comment on that. But yes I guess so. Only problem is we don't have many developers for this phone due to it's small reach.

Do you know, what needs to be adjusted?
I would love to see a custom rom for my E8 (M8Sn) and cannot find anyone who is able to help me.
It is the singleSIM version from Germany.

Unfortunately I don't. There are a few people on our forums here, CaptainThrowback and DutchDanny. They are familiar with development. Try asking them. Or contact a dev from M8 forums and ask instead, if they are free enough, they might guide you.
