Hi guys, a couple of months ago I've rooted my new S2+ and after Alex posted the new 4.2.2 I've flashed my device with RDS_GT-I9105P-XEO-I9105PXXAMC2 (topic here GT-I9105/I9105P Stock Prerooted Firmware Without loss of warranty(4.2.2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334103).
So far it is working perfect! This week I've received a notification, that there is a new update available OTA for my device, so I've decided to download and install it. I've downloaded it, the phone restarts and starts to install the "new update", but at 25% shows an error (the Android guy wearing the red triangle etc. and reboots automatically).
After the restart the OS boots normally and is working OK as previous.
My question is: Since my phone has a prerooted stock FW (4.2.2) and is rooted at the same time running CWM, why I can't install the latest updates OTA?
If CW is causing this, why am I able to get the OTA update notification?
Thanks for the replies.

I understand that the FW is modded, as the previous one (4.1.2), which I've downloaded from here and installed on my G2+. But with 4.1.2 at that time I wasn't able to check for any updates for my OS. Every time I've checked manually for updates, the OS gave me error message, that this is not possible. And now with 4.2.2 I am not only able to check if my FW is the latest, but also to download and install 1/4 of the updates. I am trying to find the algorithm here.

I will say it again
It is not possible to check for updates because the Firmware is modded and not original anymore that's why!!!
Hi "safariking",
In the current situation we have two identically modded FWs, but a different outcome.
It's very nice of you to take the time to answer my question so fully That's why I'd like to thank you for the effort. Herewith I am closing the topic.
Cheers.

chill down everyone safari bro,this guy trying to say he got updated with mod fw,just when reach certain percent,the downloaded file seems corrupted. Now i understand mod fw can't even received the ota file,but how this process is allowed, and what happened with the ota file he downloaded?
either way,it's pointless,1st the phone fail to update completely(stuck at 25%), 2nd i don't think this problem can be solved.
cheers everyone~ :highfive:

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your reply. You are reading my mind. The issue is really interesting & I think it is worth discussing this.
Safari is right, when he says that FW upgrade OTA for customized ROM is not possible. This is of course true and no one has ever doubted it. This is why when I had the 4.1.2 installed on my G2+ no update was even possible. Droid detects immediately, that the OS has been modified and that you are not running stock ROM.
Okay, so far so good.
Now I have pre-rooted 4.2.2 installed on my phone. When I hit the "Check for update button" it detects that my OS is genuine (although it is not), downloads the whole update package (see screenshot), restarts the phone (part of the update process) and starts installing the update. When the installation reaches 25%, an error message appears saying, that an error has occurred. The phone restarts and loads the "old" OS.
I have tested this a several times and it always hangs on 25%.
The question is NOT why I CAN'T install OTA updates on modified ROM. The question is why I CAN download and install OTA updates on modified ROM.
My suggestion is that:
ROM 1 (4.1.2) had a modified kernel. That's why the OTA updates were not possible.
ROM 2 (4.2.2) is pre-rooted. And I assume it is just stock FW (kernel not modified) with few modifications in the user permissions. This would explain the OTA update and why it reaches download mode and hangs on 25% of the installation.
I hope this brings more clarification to the situation and this would be useful to all members of the forum.
Cheers!:highfive:
I have randomly come across and read posts and topics on this in the other devices' forum.
If I remember correctly, it is the custom recovery, i.e Cwm or twrp that blocks or interrupts the OTA process. 2 reasons why: you'll lose root access if the update went through. Secondly, if a user freezes or uninstalls stock apps like S Voice, Chat On etc, there will be trouble.
There are some ways of allowing an OTA to get pass a custom recovery. I think TWRP has this feature. Again, I stand corrected here lol.
Heard of OTA Root Keeper but no idea how it works

To ROOT the Alcatel OneTouch Pop 7 p310a
1. Make sure Unknown sources is checked in Settings > Security > Device administration > Unknown Sources
2. You head over to alephzain's ROOT thread and download the framaroot 1.9.3 apk
LINK To Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
3. Follow the directions on alephzain's thread. Move the apk to the SD card and install the apk.
4. The apk will then run after clicking "install"
If successful, your OneTouch Pop 7 p310a will now be rooted after a reboot.
To test, after reboot you should see superuser in the list of installed applications.
Also you can download 'root checker' from Google play to verify.

Hi, thanks for this.
Will a memory swap mod, to make the tablet see the external SD Memory as the internal storage, work with the P310A?
Searched and found this for another Alcatel device:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284347&page=39
Is something like this already available for the tablet?
Will be a big improvement if this can be ported to the P310A, and then have a 32Gb or even a 64 Gb memory card be seen as the internal storage.
Thanks.
I have one of these little tablets from T-Mobile (gotta love free) and love it. Last night I got an update warning but have not installed it yet. Unfortunately there is very little information for them like custom ROMs or custom recovery. I would even like to find the software and files needed to return the device back to stock if there was ever a problem and it needed to be reflashed back to out of the box state. Let me know if I can help as I would love to see more for this awesome little device.
Btw, interesting fact about T-Mobile 4G on these tablets. The base is 10 USD for 1gb of 4G a month. All T-Mobile tablets also come with free 200mb 4G a month one top of that. If you have the highest plan at T-Mobile (80 USD a month, unlimited everything including 4g, no drop back to 3g at all) then the tablet actually gets 5gb a month of 4G for the 10 USD instead of 1gb.
..
Just installed the latest update from T-Mobile for the p310a and framaroot 1.93 no longer roots it. Damn.
Try this :wwwDOTmgyunDOTcom/m/en
It rooted my tablet and 2 others. It will install a "kinguser" superuser app. Download clockworks superuser from the play store.
Then disable kinguser and allow clockworks superuser to do its job.

Can you please share what is on the update?
Find out the update is still on 4.2.
According to the Tmo support site is to improve battery, camera flicker and freezing.
That is about all I see in the update. The version is still the same and I have not seen any real difference personally. Kind of wish I hadn't updated.
Btw, thanks for the recommendation. I am rooted again, woohoo.

Well, I am rooted but the only SU that will work is the installed KingUser, no others will work for me.
I have the same tablet, but the P310X, not the P310A variant. Is it safe to flash the CWM recovery? I tried booting into this recovery without flashing by the fastboot flash command, but nothing happens after the transfer, the device won't boot into the new recovery.
After a little searching, it seems to me the two varians only differ in the supported cellular networks and frequencies.
Ok so I rooted this device with kingo at first. I kept have su binary issues. I installed cwm and tried to update su binary through there. I tried booting into recovery using quick boot. My tablet is stuck on tmo screen. Hard reseting takes me back to cwm but I have no backup yet , had no time to even make one. Does anyone have one by chance or a way for me to boot back up through cwm?
Recovery flashed successfully and looks great but, no partitions will mount and I cannot flash any .zips. Anyone else having issues?
I flashed the recovery but when I backed up my data and started getting "unfortunately settings has stopped" error
I did all alternatives and was forced to wipe it clean. But when I tried to restore it kept saying MS5 is not found.
So I am screwed now cause although it did clean it, the settings issue is still there and it will not let me open the wifi /buletooth settings/
keeps crashing and sometimes reboots. So I just want to revert back to the original factory firmware.
Does anyone have the original firmware??
Possible lollipop rom?

Crying on the inside
SO, i did the absolute unthinkable of unthinkable actions. i attempted to flash what was purported to be a POP 7 MIUI port, and the damn thing crashed on me. To make matters worse, the backup with CWM failed when attempting to back up /system. Anyone manage to get it to work?

Hi everyone,
I received the OTA update notification a long time ago but didn't have time to take a deep look into it (baby on the way... now arrived !), but I'm trying to install a lollipop ota update on my moto g.
It's not my first android device, I had about 10 of them and messed around with them, so don't be affraid to use the vernacular directly, but I'm aware that I might be making a rookie mistake too
My phone is a 1st gen 16Gb Moto G. IT's running 4.4.4 (System version 210.12.40.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR, I'm in France by the way). I did a few things to it :
- unlock bootloader
- install CWM
- root
- install xposed
- install cerberus and moved it to system apps
Before trying to install it I tried to reverse the steps back to stock :
- move cerberus back to user apps, and uninstall it just in case
- remove xposed
- unroot using the option in the SuperSU menu
- go back to kitkat stock revovery, using mototool v2.6 (so this might a 4.4.2 but I didn't find another one so far)
Then I clicked on the OTA notification, anouncing that 220.27.1... was ready to be installed, downloaded it ok, chose to install it.
Everytime I tried the phone rebooted, began the install and after a short while showed a error message and rebooted.
I tried to install it by putting the OTA zip file in /sdcard and install it with the stock recovery, but here's what I found out :
After downloading the OTA on the phone if I go to /cache/ (where the ota zip file is downloaded. To do that I need root access so I got to flash cwm and root it again, fyi) it shows another file, not corresponding to 220.27 but named : Blur_Version.210.12.40.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR.zip .... which is weird because it's the version that's supposed to be installed already !
I tried something else, found the "Blur_Version.220.27.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR.zip" file on a forum, put it on /sdcard/ and try to install it through recovery... same error.
Does anyone have an idea on how to install it succesfully without having to flash back a stock firmware ?
Thanks a lot to anyone giving a shot, you rock !
Mat
Ps : i tried to find anything similar on the forum but didn't manage to. If i searched with the wrong terms or didn't notice it while browsing trough the different topics, please tell me if you have a clue, and sorry about not having searched well enough.

Hi, I got a Lenovo Vibe X3 Lite K51c78, chinese version (its also called X3c78, I think).
I need help how to flash a new rom, Lollipop or Marshmallow, does not really matter.
My device does not seem to be running official stock rom from Lenovo.
App manager is missing in system settings and its a lot of bloatware.
I have found a rom from official VIBEUI web page
VIBEUI_V3.5_1617_5.332.1_ST_K51c78_WC4D630384.zip
But it fails when i flash it in recovery mode.
And I can't find any software to flash VIBEUI rom.
It's incompatible with SP Flash tool, cause it has different scatter file and files such as "system.new.dat" etc.
Please help.
Thank you.
Just replying to bump this up - I recently got my Vibe X3 Lite and am finding heaps on this site about the next model up, the X3, but very little about this one. I can't seem to get Google Now launcher working (it says I need to go to the existing launcher's settings and clear preferences, a button which is greyed out...) and my box arrived with the factory seal broken, so I think it's at least prudent to flash SOMEthing before putting in my real details.
This is a heck of a phone for an amazing price, I'm surprised it's not getting more attention!

That filename looks like the same one I downloaded from http://www.vibeui.com/vibeui/rom3?key=K51c78
And if that's the one you have, it's the one which has worked for me. I just renamed it to update.zip and installed it from Recovery mode. What sort of problem did you have? Did you try downloading it again?
From what I can tell the Lenovo launcher lacks an app drawer, but you can add an "All Apps" widget to your home screen. Also, most manufacturers install bloatware (they prefer to think of it as value-added experiences) and you usually can't remove them without gaining root access.
I tried replacing the launcher with Google Now (simply wouldn't work) and with Nova Launcher (worked but very crashy, widgets refused to be placed, some features didn't work) so I'm back on the Lenovo launcher. Will at some point try rooting and getting rid of the extra stuff...

how do you update the zip file using recovery mode, because i dont understand the recovery mode language because it is in Chinese, can you show me how to update using the recovery mode?
Do you have google services? I update mine from vibeui_v2.9_1608_5.1112.1_st_k51c78 (with preinstall google services) to the same rom you use using lenovo recovery and now my google services is gone..how to update without losing the google services?
Hey guys,
I also had the same problem with having no Google services. I downloaden a gapp app from internet and after a moment I got my Google apps and service Back. Maybe this could Help.
Hello everyone, Luckily or unluckily i bought this device few days ago. I have same problems "Chinese recovery" and "cant find anyway to root" this device. Will someone please help?
Hi I just got myself a 2nd hand Lenovo Vibe X3 Lite (K51C78), was happily flashing away with SPMultiPortFlashTool (SP Flash Tool doesn't work). After few flashing, suddenly when I try to connect the phone for another round of flashing, the phone suddenly cannot stay connected. Meaning in the device manager, I see Mediatek Preloader VCOM USB (Android) appear and disappear (connect and disconnect) many times. It cannot stay connected even though I already press Start in SPMultiPortFlashTool. It downloads FOR A WHILE then because it disconnects around 2-3 seconds after, the flashing failed.
Did I just hard brick my phone? Seems I cannot recover with attempts until now
I need the phone to stay connected. What actually caused this connect and disconnect issue?
Hello there.
I'm using tulip for few months now. One of first things that I've done, have been unlocking device, rooting it and put stock rom with root access on it. So far, so good. I did not encounter any serious glitches etc, but now I would like to finally upgrade miui to 11 (currently having 10.3).
And there's my problem. I would love to dodge making clean installation (wipe data etc) and I do not wish to risk to bootlooping my phone. I've read on some threads (older ones, but still) that you cannot simply install ota update in system, because due to changed recovery (I do have TWRP instead of fabric one) you will cause bootloop. I've tried alternative method of installing zip BY twrp, but program says, that it encounter a problem called "package expects build fingerprint (...) of tulip 0/PKQ1.180904.001/V10.3.2.0.PEKMIXM or PKQ1.180804.001/V11.0.2.0; this device has omni_tulip/tulip:8.1.0/OPM8.181105.002/1", and then sait, that in had error 7.
Is it simply wrong rom being installed and I have to choose something that is being named the same way and supports ota, or is there a way to go more swiftly through this process? If so and I should pick rom with ota - what to choose? I like deep level customisation, but compatibility with google store, being able to use store, payments and paid apps, instead of "opening them" by some lucky patchers kind of apps.
OR MAYBE I just need to change recovery from TWRP to something different - like PBRP f.e.? Just like this thread says - https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...how-to-setup-official-miui-breeaking-t3893703
Just a quick update - changing twrp to pbrp does not change anything in upgrade process - still get the same error, now just without telling me, which version do I have.
Also, what's interesting, apparently twrp said to me that I do have android 8.1, but "about phone" in system says, that its android 9 (9PKQ1.180904.001 to be exact).
That's werid, because everywhere I check, phone says "android 9" as a version of it.
Have you tried wiping system and installing?

Not yet. I've found method of flashing via PBRB with usage of downloaded file and one option check, but I'm not gonna try it, unless I do a backup of my apps. If that won't work, I'll perform a clean instalation and choose rom that supports ota.
well, I've tried to do this with the method, that I've described before, but this did not ended successfully. I'll look for rom with ota update possibility and then install it most likely. Apps had backup, so I lost almost nothing.
It worked. I had to download bigger patch (1.7 GB, instead of circa 700 MB, that I've tried before), I also had to use method described here -> https://c.mi.com/thread-1782169-1-1.html (pitch black recovery, instead of twrp + one tweak in options). Start after flash was very long (it took like 10 minutes or so), but it booted successfully in the end. Not sure which rom I do have after all, but as far as I remember it was so close to stock, as possible (with only few extra options and tweaks). So yea, it just works.
