Question about LG KP500 (Cookie)-flashing to Windows Mobile 6.x

Hello my friends i have a little, hopefully simple question and i dont know how to answer it^^
Why i cant flash the mobile phone LG KP500, called 'Cookie' to Windows Mobile 6.x?
Is there no way to flash a different rom to this device?
i dont know much about the processor architecture of the "Cookie" but in my opinion it's a touchscreen-enabled phone like for excample the Samsung Omnia i900..
might anybody feels able to explain me whats the different between this two devices "Cookie" and for excample the "Omnia" and why it's not able to flash it.
thanks in advance

i guess because the roms are device specific. You cant just flash a rom for a diamond on a kaiser either. Maybe with some luck you can flash android in the future when lg throws some android phones on the market.
you should have invested a bit more money and get yourself the ks20 from lg. This has winmo 6.x installed (and wlan and gps)...

You can't actually flash it as LG in most of its new devices uses the "S-Class" (as its called), interface-software,limitating the customer to do anything with it.
Can u type using ur keypad, the following
1809*#500#
and tell me on ur SW and HW version menu, what's its actually SW and HW version?

You can flash a Windows Mobile device with a Windows Mobile ROM or Android.
You cannot flash a Windows Mobile ROM to just any LG or other phones which run on their own OS. Like iphone OS ROM cannot be flashed to WinMo devices.

hey thanks for all ur replys.. very interessting btw i've found something about iphone running windows mobile ^^

so maybe someday someone wants to port win mobile to cookie^^

@B3ler3fonte
thanks for ur help. btw you have mixed up * and # just for info
the right command is 1809#*500#
after typing in the command i choosed the entry "version" from a submenu.
i've got the following info:
ikp500xx-00-v10e-xxx-xxx-jun-22-2009
so might its usefull for u mate... v10e is softwareversion?

Sorry for my late reply mate. Yeah, i mixed it up a bit with * # signs But as far as i saw, u found ur way . Notice that this code is only for internal purposes testing and so on, so consider that u have full acess to ur phone now and u can even hard/soft reset ur device, through the appropriate menu.
Anyway, yeah 10e is the SW version, but still, i think there are another two SW updates available already online, so i sugeest u, to install LG Pc Suite that was included in the box and seach for those and flash ur device accordingly

hi again,
at first np mate.. it's ok .. i know that hehe. i have to say "sry for my late reply"^^
and full access sounds always good^^ btw thank you very much for the code!
to the phone: im using the newest version 10z now. could you tell me plz for what exactly do you need the SW and HW version?
maybe there's another possibility to get windows mobile flashed on a LG Cookie?
thanks and greetz

Any news about flashing WM onto the cookie? I would like to change the operating system of my wife's mobile phone if possible.

[Q] Acer Liquid S1

Hi all,
Since there is still no device specific forum for the Acer Liquid S1.
Me and probably many other people who own this budget 5.7" phablet beast consider this phone as a device that certainly deserves his own forum
Until there is a device specific forum I created this thread so every S1 owner can share tips and questions regarding the Acer Liquid S1 (=S510).
I didn't see any request for a device specific forum, so make sure to request it here:

Haven't seen anyone try it yet - but I'd guess it's done through the standard MTK-procedures? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
Possibly even motochopper that works for the Liquid E2? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604

Hope there will be some dev around this phone too

Agreed and now looking at the details of new Acer Liquid S2 - I feel it definitely deserves it's own section - especially when I compare the specs to the likes of Ultra and Note III a worthy competitor and would like to see some development and discussion on this model.
ps: added a request to create forum - in the new devices section - hope someone does create one and we can see some new development on this

Trying to root it, but this device seems to be well locked. :/

Thats bad news, this is what is holding me off getting it at the moment. I did find a link when searching for a solution that led here :http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2798984876&uk=2318828147 (it is in chinese).
Don't know if it works though, been searching for confirmation of the device rooted but with no luck though.

Hi spanner44, that tool failed to root the S1

Thats a shame.
The main reason I need to root initially, is to be able to transfer my files from existing phone. Does anyone know if Helium would enable this ?
If this works, then I don't mind going for this phone, and as long as I can transfer my data, I can hold out for root until hopefully more developers get on board.

Helium could be enough yes. What files exactly do you need to transfer?
Envoyé depuis mon S510

Mainly my game files, well Subway surfers for definite. My apps I can download again from the play store. Of course some games are now connected via G+ sign in, so they are alright, it is just a shame that this feature isn't compulsory on all apps/games. It would make the transition to a new phone easier.

The camera is just of average
Just bought Acer Liquid S1 a couple of weeks ago. Everything works fine except for the camera. With 8MP camera fitted on it, the quality of the picture is just mediocre. The front camera (2MP) is also disappointing, full of noise when it is used indoors. There's no visible notification when the display is off. Therefore, we need to turn on the display to check whether there's a miscall or incoming email or text message.
Is there any way in which I can have root access for this phablet? I have ODIN software installed in my laptop, and I just need a *.tar file special for this product to root it.

We manage to have root working on the Acer S510 (S1)
Check out our French Forum : http://acer-club.fr/viewtopic.php?f=210&t=9323
@gbas4nie don't use Odin, it's only for Samsung devices....
Edit : And tools are also available on my website : http://acer.shreps.fr

Just moved over from Samsung Note to this phone as it's Dual Sim. Brilliant, as I no longer have to carry two phones with me. Works great. and less than half the price of a Note. I miss the stylus, but apparently a dual sim Note may be coming soon!

Hello, is there any root-guide in english available?

Hi that's strange as the app that flashes will check the ROM version and won't flash if your system is not as expected. Did you use the app ?

Got a QiKU 360 N4, tutorial to unlock bootloader is in chinese. Halp!

I hope this is the right thread.
Hello bois, I got a QiKU 360 N4 which is a pretty sick phone for the money I paid it.
It came out recently on the chinese market and its bootloader is locked.
I googled a bit and found some tutorials tho unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, because somebody compiled that already! Awesome, right?
Too bad are in chinese, yeah.
Google translate doesn't help that much, it is incomprehensible, and even if it did help: I am required to sign up to the chinese forum to read the whole tutorial (which requires me to understand how to sign up) and from what I understand the procedure makes use of a software running on windows to enter the bootloader and such software is in chinese only!
So I am looking for some kind soul who could translate the procedure and, if possible, reupload the necessary files somewhere so people like me wouldn't have to sign up to the linked chinese forum to get them.
In exchange I can offer some tips on health and fitness for I have a master in sports sciences. Or, I could offer you a beer?
P.S. sadly xda does not allow me to post links, can link in private... I guess.

Here is how far I have come. I assume you have to download a bunch but at least the company gives you information. I've heard numerous people who buy Chinese phones and are stuck with whatever software they offer.

Yeah there is no chance to write a custom rom because the kernel source is never being given by Mediatek.
However having the ability to backup and play around with the stock firmware is great.

True, I like how it has become a meme that "I'll die before mtk releases their sources".

Any more news on this? Loving my N4 so far, but would like to install TWRP and gapps, but not quite sure how. Have read somewhere that Kingroot has worked on other Qiku/360 phones but haven't got that far myself. Any chance you could send me that link to me too, your googling skills are clearly far superior to my own!

Hi.
I wiped my data from the stock recovery and now i am stuck at boot logo.I don't know how that happened.but i think i have to flash stock firmware which i cant find anywhere.
Qiku forum is unresponsive and there is no other place with info of this rare phone.
Help me out here please

help me please! I.want to unlock my QIKU N4S, but i can not download from chinese forum. thank you a lot！

Bootloader unlock - HERE
Found some ROM's also .... Althought, You'll Need TAMPERMONKEY and Baidu Download Script for Tampermoney
ROM'S - HERE and other Tools + rom's HERE
There is a whole Qiku N4 forum but it's in chinese .... didnt have time to bother with it,
since it requires to be registered ...
And, as bonus ...

Check HW version of your phone, if you want to flash roms and BEFORE screwing it up.
Hope that's enough for now ....
p.s. Be carefull what are you doing and flashing into phone. Links I posted are from third party sources,
people reported they are working, but all you do - you do on your own responsibility.

Hello Alex,
Those links are sadly down.
Do you know any other link to a stock N4 image and scatter file that I could use to factory-reset a pattern-locked N4 ? I got my hands on a discarded one, but the factory reset option in recovery mode requires that cloud account be first deleted, which I can't to because of the pattern lock.
Thanks !
EDIT :
Sorry, I spoke too fast. I gave another try and the links are up, though in chinese. I'll try to get what I can. Thank you !

Is the cell phone on your hand 360n4? This cell phone has two versions of 360n4 and 360n4s

Yes, it a 360N4, not a 360N4S.
What I'm trying to do is follow that howto : http://www.cnroms.com/360-n4-061-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery.html to downgrade it, then factory reset it and install TWRP.
However, I can't read chinese (can't even tell whether it's cantonese or mandarin). Google Translate helps, but most link seem to be broken, and when they're not, the download speed is abysmally slow (several days…).
Is there any way you could help me ? Maybe get the needed files and reupload them somewhere faster ?

Do I have Lemon or Marshmallow? Device says 6.0.1

I'm confused. In About Phone my device says it's 6.0.1. Google tells me this is marshmallow but if I check it with an app such as CPU-Z it says my device is Lemon. Whats going on here?
I try to follow videos about features of 6.0.1 marshmallow and my device doesn't seem to have those features. Which one do I have and why is this not straight forward?
Edit: The phone manufacturer does claim it's 6.0.1 Marshmallow https://www.zteusa.com/jasperlte - So why don't I have Marshmallow features?
Could I have an illegal black market version of the phone?
Thank you.

O.k.. I have Marshmallow - then why don't I have the same Marshmallow functionality I see on 6.01 feature videos? For instance, I cannot hold down my system icon to access a system ui tweak settings page. It and other 6.0.1 features simply don't exist in my device - why? Shouldn't all stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 operating systems be identical?
I can see perhaps an exception if my device was missing a specific hardware required to make the application work but that's not the case with something as simple as UI tweak settings. I feel like i'm cheated out of functionality you know.

Thank you for your time and answers. If I could find a way to root the phone, i'd try to flash a version that gives me back all the stuff the OEM cut out. It's sad they work this way. I can get a copy of any Windows operating system and I'll always know it has full functionality no matter who installs it. Android should be the same way or don't claim it's really Marshmallow if it's a scaled down version. Not fair.
Again, My Thanks, sachin.

Is there Android higher Android ROMs on Samsung Galaxy Young S6310?

That's my question basically.... I REALLY want a newer android than Lollipop (the highest android mod I found here). Is there? I found this webpage https://tweakdroid.com/lineage/samsung-galaxy-young-gt-s6310-royss/ that says it's possible, but they don't have the ROM available, so I'm skeptical. I really want a ROM like that to exist because I want to move back to my old phone, as I'm addicted to my current one, but I still want to be able to use WhatsApp and Google Maps.
Thanks for reading, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

The newest android version u can install is 4.4.4 kitkat, the lollipop download links are broken but i think there is a mirror avalible, tweakdroid is the fakest android rom site ever, they say u can install it (which u cant since of it low storage and ram amount) and they dont even give a download link.

This is so fake that when you copy the download link it shows
