Hello,
i would like to install a custom rom to my china smartphone coolpad 1S with CPU: mtk6592T (armv7 processor rev4(v7l). instruction set: armeabi v7a)
I found many custom roms for my device (for example, the MIUI V6.0),
but i didn't find a simple guide to flash the rom to my device.
I found only that , to install the custom rom, i need to install a recovery TWRP or CWM.
And i found that i need to create the recovery.
To do this, i found that i must use one of the following tools:
MTKdroid tools, to generate/install the CWM
or
EasyMagic TWRP, to generate/install the TWRP.
I would like to know which of the above is the easiest and safest to be used for my phone.
And, finally, if to install the ROM i need a tool, or if i simply can flash it booting my phone in recovery mode.
Thank you!
I'm not aware of these tools but go with TWRP recovery it's simple and easy to use. and once you got recovery you can flash ROMs in the recovery

Hi,
I want to root my Mate7 but I am not comfortable with messing with recovery. What is the way to backup stock recovery so I can put it back with fastboot flash recovery after rooting is done?
Thanks.
Hi xtonda - the package going around for unlocking/rooting the Mate7 currently that contains the recovery_b60.img also contains a copy of the stock recovery.
If you follow any of the guides available (off hand I can remember http://mate7.net/ascend-mate7-bootloader-unlock/ from the other day, but plenty guides available on XDA and elsewhere) the tools/driver package includes the stock recovery.
Flashing the stock is done in exactly the same way as flashing the CWM, just with the different file.
So you'd unlock, flash CWM, root the device, then flash the stock recovery again
Cheers - hope that helps!
Hi, I found two guides to root Mate7 here and each has own package with CWM recovery and some original recovery. However these original recoveries are not the same so I am not convinced that they are exactly the same as the one in my device (obviously at least one of them is not) since there are several Mate7 variants and ROM version and is unknown where these "original" recovery images come from. That is why I want to download original recovery from my device and flash it back after rooting.
Or to boot CWM recovery only temporarily without flashing it, I found that it should be possible using "fastboot boot" command. Is that possible?
can anyone help?
I just bought this phone, it has specification as:
- MT6592 1.7GHz Octa-Core ARM Cortex-A7
- 2 gb internal storage.
- 12gb phone storage.
- android kitkat 4.4.2
- kernel 3.4.67
- build number: blaupunkt_v1.57W (updated from 1.56W).
my problem:
- can't find the button config for entering the download mode.
- the recovery mode doesn't have install option, only update, so when i tried to install supersu.zip, it failed.
- tried rooting using apk and windows applications, failed (kingoroot successful, but gamekiller unable to run as root, other apps able to run as root).
- what to use to resize internal storage <--> phone storage.
- how to backup stock rom and recovery mode.
thanks

You can't flash any update zip in your stock android recovery. You need custom recovery for that.
You can't get your warranty back because you rooted your android using KingRoot app and it unlocked your bootloader.
Most of the manufacturer voids warranty if you unlock bootloader and rooted.
So, you can't get warranty back by flashing stock recovery if your android manufacturer voids.
I wanted to know if it is possible to change the version of android
By cyanogenmod or custom rom
If you could, could you give me a tip
How to do or tutorial something that helps?
First what is your device ? I think everybody have to start somewhere, so I have to know what is your device and see what is available for it.
But similar process for most of the cases ; root your device (try one click root like king root app or if it doesn't work try other methods for your device) then flash a custom recovery (TWRP) , into it you would be able to install (flash) custom Roms , and when it's done, just download the custom ROM , the Gapps according to the custom ROM Android version and your device architecture and then boot to recovery, make a Nandroid backup (backup everything in TWRP) then wipe system,data,cache,and delavik cache , flash the ROM, flash the Gapps and reboot.
But all the process (rooting, custom recovery etc) depends of your device
Is the galaxy lite 3 wanted to put the version
4.4.2 or +
Only that it does not exist nowhere, this custom or cyanogenmod
That's why I came here.
Way of having and making one or modifying it
please need help

No, you can't flash any zips without custom recovery or root.
You'll have to build a recovery for your device based on the series of MTK CPU you have.
There are guides all over the internet for building or porting recovery for MTK devices.

hei there, i just bought a new mi4c. and it has been a week.
So i want to share my step on installing custom rom right away from stock.
the step is :
1. Install kingiroot
2. Root your phone using kingiroot
3. Install flashify from playstore
4. grant root for flashify and flash twrp custom recovery to mi4c
5. install reboot recovery from playstore and use the app to enter recovery mode
6. Flash custom recovery from your desired ROM. (in my case, i install custom recovery from xiaomi.eu
7. Install your ROM through the custom recovery
Done.
I've already installed Custom Rom 8.2.1.0 miui.eu Everything work well excepet edge tap (edge control).
do i miss something on my flashing step?
or do i need some later ROM as baseband before installing my desired custom ROM?
For anyone following this, if you want to flash a not miui based custom rom you have to unlock the bootloader with the official tool, otherwise you will brick the device.
If you brick the device flash the oldest firmware you can find(I already had this problem before).
I used Kingo to root my Mi4c and it worked well.
Does not work anymore if you run with Android 7.0
Note: my AV detected Kingo Link as trojan...
