Hey Everyone,
Long story short, i bought a Lenovo z90-7 on ebay from china. I received a z90-3 in the mail.
Couldnt get them to ship z90-7 for replacement, so i got a full refund from ebay. free phone. yay.
Phone is loaded with bloatware, and spyware. every 30 mins a message pops up trying to get me to download a new piece of crap software, or bloat, or spyware. It came with a chinese rom, changed to english, and is not rooted - however it is unlocked so i can use it with any sim card, and it currently works "properly" (minus the bloat/spyware).
I have checked everywhere in XDA, and like 50 pages of google under every search term i can think of. currently, there is no available rom/solutions for this phone.
Lenovo support is useless, and only has china phone support. i cant get a download link for an FTP from lenovo to get the factory rom to mod myself.
I need help with these things:
1) i need to root the phone so i can mess with it
2) i need an international/english version of some kind of rom that will work with the phone - OR
3) i need a source for a universal android rom, of which i can load drivers for the chipsets(download link to master driver site/android site?)
info of what the phone currently shows:
Model: Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-3
Android Version: 5.0.2
Build Number: VIBEUI_V2.5_1522_5.130.1_ST_Z90-3
Email me with any information you can come up with, thank you!!!

Hello All,
Long time lurker but finally I have not been able to find a solution to my problem.
I made the mistake of purchasing a Y511-T00 on a recent trip to china after quickly reading the box which said WCDMA. There was a sticker on the side however that said TD-SCDMA. Anyway finally home I realise no 3G. Which I can live with 90% of my time online is via wifi and mobile wifi device.
The issue has come now where I need to get a better ROM for the phone. I have some half baked english rom that is laggy and does not save credentials for facebook etc. In fact I am at a point where I would not mind getting the Huawei stock with emotion UI. The details of the phone are as follows
Model Number : HUAWEI Y511-T00 (China Mobile)
Android version : 4.2.2
Baseband version MOLY.WR8.W1319.MD.TG.MP.V4.P18 , 2013/07/31 15:37
Kernel Version 3.4.5
Build Number : Y511-U30V100R001C328B120
Hardware version : VER.A
If anyone can assist with a guide on how to change the rom and maybe confirm if i can use the y511-u00 roms as I need something in english I would greatly appreciate it. Also any directions to a forum for support for this phone with other users in English would be great
Thanks so much

Hello everyone,
The question I have is: where can I find the firmware for the Huawei Ascend G6-U251? it seems to be unavailable from the Huawei site and searches online mostly come up empty.
Is it technically possible for another user with the same phone model to extract the firmware from their phone (forgive my ignorance, I am still figuring out how installations and backups work and I am not quite clear yet on it all yet).
Some context about my situation if anyone cares to read through it all and make any suggestion.
Thank you all in advance.
After rooting and messing with my Huawei Ascend G6 I managed to get into a state where the phone is:
- rooted
- I am able to remove annoying bloatware apps
- I am able to move apps to the SD card to avoid the "not enough storage on device to install this app"
That's all nice, but in my enthusiasm I also removed an app called SystemUI.system.apk. I believe this app deals with the status bar, and my phone is now in a state where it starts up and generally works, but there is no status bar and there are no notifications.
I've spent a fair amount of time searching things online to get the status bar working again, but information is scant on this huawei model. There are no custom ROMS that I can install. So I started searching for the Firmware, to restore everything to its original state. The firmware I think is available on the huawei site, look for EMUI Firmware (I'd post the link but as this is my first post xda is preventing from doing so).
Note, one thing that took me a while to figure out is that the Huawei firmware is distributed under the EMUI name (huawei's android brand I think, correct me if I am wrong). I am currently downloading this:
Version: G6-L11/G6-L22/G6-L33,kernel.tar.gz
MD5: 022A448C0D1314F69F4266DE6FEAB4F1
Size: 108.60MB
although it doesn't list the U251 model, I'll give it a shot and see if I can pull just that SystemUI.system.apk file.
Also, for anyone going through the same pain of searching for this firmware or information on updates for the G6 - find the Huawei Ascend G6 group on facebook. It's quite active and seems to have good info on updates for the Ascend G6 (there is another post on xda pointing you to it).
Good luck and thanks.

Hi,
I recently purchased a Huawei GX1S and overall found it a good phone except for one thing: the ROM. It uses a Huawei customized ROM which I personally find horrible as it doesn't have any of the regular apps like Play Store or Chrome. It uses Huawei update servers, EMUI, as its system update download server so therefore I can't get any of the Google official updates.
I've Googled up several times to try and find the original Google custom ROM and haven't found anything related to it. The best I could find were 2 tutorial sites that had survey locked download links which I honestly don't trust and wouldn't waste my time on. There seems to be no information at all for this product. Are there any available custom ROMs out there that I can use with this device?
Thanks

Hi there. I have tried for the love of me to find something on the internet that would pertain to this specific device and have found nothing but specs on a website and dumb questions about the phone that don't pertain to what I am looking for. The phone in question is ZTE N817 from Assurance Wireless on the Virgin Mobile network. I am looking for a custom ROM for it because I no longer have service on the phone but because of that it won't boot past the "Hello. Welcome to Assurance Wireless" screen and it makes the device completely unusable therefore my wanting to install a custom ROM in order to get functionality out of the device as a smart device with WiFi and all just no phone service. And if there is anything anyone can provide involving a firmware download and an installation procedure such as a specific program to use to install the firmware using Windows that would be great.
Here is a link to the info on the device.

I got this free tablet along with a course of Spanish.
It's a 9" android device. According the documentation that came with it, it has an Alwinner A33 Quadcore, 512MB ram, 4GB storage & is operated with Android 4.4.
It has no brand, but it comes from a Belgian company named GP-electronic.
As soon as I got it, I started installing my most favourite apps & one of those (my mobile banking app) gave me this warning I never had before:
Code:
Rooted Device Detected. We advice you to use a non-rooted device.
And now I wanted to know how I can unroot it & reclaim it for my own, because I notice some other things have been modified / disabled by the supplier....
How do I gather the necessary info, where to look & stuff like that is something new for me.
Cheers
