I've tried new version (20170628) and I get: SYNTAX ERROR!!! aroma -config on line 181 col 23.
In another life I've been a developer so I checked and I found some blank spaces unneeded:
"ini_get("rom_name") + " by " + ini_get("rom_author") +
"\n\n"+
"ini_get("rom_name")+" by "+ini_get("rom_author")+"\n\n"+
But now I get again Error 1 and update fail.
Thank you again

I've added a simple install guide
How do we boot into recovery? I flashed the recovery but when I try to boot into recovery from fastboot it always boots to the main OS
Can't boot in this recovery after installing it.
Sent from my NX510J using XDA Free mobile app
Hi, it will works with newest ZTE firmware 3.06 ? or maybe someone has a newest version ? THX
Can not install official updates/ROMs. There is a misspelling in default.prop:
ro.product.name=nz510j
Must be:
ro.product.name=nx510j

Will be fixed as long as I have time, now I'm too busy
How long will this command take? All I get is < waiting for device >
Had to do this first:
- Connect phone while normally booted
- Run the installer that is automatically mounted on windows
- click 7 times the buildnumber in "about phone" to enable developer options
- enable usb debugging in developer options
Edit:
Installed your cyanogenmod build, but still have a problem. Cant reboot to recovery. What I have to do is get into fastboot, flash TWRP, reboot to recovery.
Edit2:
I can boot to recovery, only if usb is connected.

To bypass this problem I use another TWRP now from here: http://www.androidiani.com/forum/mo...3-z9-max-lollipop-5-0-2-cuoco92-firmware.html

Translated:
- Install the drivers ( http://pdanet.co/a/ )
- Unzip the ZIP
- Start the file "Install_TOOL.exe"
- Coose 2: "Install TWRP 2.8.6.0"
- Wait for restart to the new TWRP (in nubia style!)

A friend of mine received this smartphone this week and he's unable to get twrp installed, tried many different methods, but apparently the touchscreen doesn't work when he needs to press an option. He did it through Win XP, maybe that's the reason why... I'm nervous as well as I ordered the phone as well through the same seller...
I really don't know why it's not working...

Thank you dianlujitao,
I hadn't seen that you had already fixed the typo, sorry for that.
I've told my friend about the new TWRP and asked him about the path - if he asks me where to find this on the phone, where should he look for, or can this be found through Windows as well ?
I'll keep you informed about my findings.
Thanks again,
Ken

Can be found even through CM file manager.
Run adb shell on computer, then use ls to find it
Hey!
I got it working on my Z9 max
Didn't work though through root path on internal storage, had to run it through another path on my pc.
Fiddling around a bit these days before I try out your Cyanogen Rom.
Btw, do you have a proper link (nubia official) for the download of the new Nubia UI?
I tried to locate it on nubia.cn, but I'm unable to find it...
I'd really appreciate if you could reveal the link
Cheers

Thanks a ton dianlujitao,
Sorry for late reply, I'm currently on vacation, I'll do it when I return.
I got a couple of questions regarding this. If you can and if you want, I'd appreciate if you could give them a look, no hurry. I'm very well aware that this is your time, and I have no right to request anything.
I just don't want to brick the phone
1. Can I use your Twrp to make a Nandroid backup?
2. Can I use your Twrp to flash it (The Brush file) or should I do it with default recovery?
3. As per instructions, it says that I should unroot it and reset to factory values.... Is this necessary?
4. Where does your Twrp save the backup, to internal memory or SD card?
Last but not least, I have to say that so far the phone has impressed me, specially the camera, awesome pics.
I let the device store them on the SD card, and sometimes I have seen (4 times to be precise) that the pic is corrupt. Would you know if this is fault of the phone or of the SD card?
Cheers,
Ken
P. D. Do you have a PayPal account for donations setup for instance?

CM12.1 for Huawei Honor 3C

This is the link to the guide for flashing cm 12.1 on our Honor 3C - H30-U10. I don't own any of these builds or fixes, i just wanted to make this thread so that these things are easily available to people who CRAVE for Cyanogenmod on their honor 3c devices like me and ask for some help regarding the installation of apks. http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/08/install-honor-3c-cyanogenmod-12-1-lollipop-custom-rom-unofficial/
this is the link to the various builds of cm 12.1 https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3SBd/vVnPaUJ4C/ , however the one which has 20150923 in its name doesn't seem to boot up after flashing so i have flashed the one with 20150309 in its name which boots up fine and works pretty well.
Flash the Gapps also for the play store and google play services to work. Here is the link for it - http://www.carbontesla.com/download-google-apps-gapps/
Now, i tried PA Gapps mini and cyanogen 12.1 Gapps but they didnt work for me but AFH Gapps did work. You guys can try the former ones as there might have been some issue at my side.
The IMEI lost problem is there which can be solved by either restoring IMEI numbers using MTK or this zip http://1drv.ms/1FNtZUj. This may not be a permanent fix and the SIM not detected error may start showing up after a reboot but, it can be fixed by re-flashing this zip at recovery OR another rather stupid looking workound XD XD by turning on the airplane mode before rebooting and then switching it off after the boot up has finished.
I couldn't find the "Select default storage option" in the storage settings nor could i find the select preferred app installation location option in the Apps settings, so i found a workaround for linking the /sdcard in the root folder to /storage/sdcard1. Here is the script for it which has to be run everytime after booting the device in the terminal emulator:
1. first gain root privileges by entering su int the terminal.
2. type: mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1 /sdcard
That's it!! Now the default storage is your external sd card, one drawback of this is that you can't access the internal storage. If you want to access it, reboot your device and everything will revert back. if you want to set the default storage to the ext sd card, follow the above steps again.
THE PROBLEM: Apparently apks dont get installed most of the times even after enabling Unknown sources in the developer options, i don't know if this is the problem of google services or something, i would like someone to help out with this issue.
EDIT 1: The one which has 20150923 in its name boots up just fine, it needs more than one time dalvik cache deletion and factory resets.
Thanks for sharing ... some upgrade or new information in the last days...
This rom has several bugs. The only one version i still prefer to use is 151129 version
The latest 151202 doesn't booting after flash. Seems there's something wrong with boot.img
Anyway, i wish the developers will keep research and improve this rom to fix the bugs
Nothing new has happened mate

[ROM][5.1][Ulefone Paris] ** Perfect-ROM V 2.0 **

Finally, after a series of studies and tests not always gone well, it turns out the first alternative to the official firmware ROM.
Unfortunately we are not yet able to have control on the terminal, since no one on the horizon hopes to release source code, but surely it is still a revolutionary firmware, and although it is a photocopy of the stock firmware, once installed you will not need to make any other changes especially.
Nuff said, I shall list the features of this ROM, as amended and then inside:
PERFECT ROM V1:
1) Based on the latest version of the stock firmware (31/12/2015);
2) Root included;
3) BusyBox included;
4) Recovery TWRP included;
5) BOOT.IMG unlocked;
6) Firmware fully translated into Italian (some applications had not the Italian language);
7) Customizing the boot logo;
8) Customization of the animation in the opening;
9) Make changes to build.prop;
PERFECT ROM V2:
1) Based on the latest version of the stock firmware (28/01/2016);
2) Root included;
3) BusyBox included;
4) Recovery TWRP included;
5) BOOT.IMG unlocked;
6) Firmware fully translated into Italian (some applications had not the Italian language);
7) Customizing the boot logo;
8) Customization of the boot animation;
9) Make changes to build.prop;
10) Removed applications "CallerId Search", "JIAJINAgingTest" and Launcher iBingo (potential sources of malware);
11) Added launcher "Smart Launcher" to replace iBingo (optional and uninstallable);
12) Added Chronos widget (in system);
13) Added notification tones.
IMPORTANT!!!
The V2 version was released in 2 versions:
1) FULL VERSION FIRMWARE - full Firmware of all its parts, ideal for those who want to flash the complete firmware and especially for those who do not possess the V1 version of " Perfect ROM ";
2) VERSION UPDATE - The same firmware, but which inside contains ONLY UPDATES from version 1 to version 2. Designed for those who already have the V1 version and wants to upgrade to the new firmware version, without losing anything.
Whatever version of the firmware you chose to put, the ROM is flashed as if it were in effect an official firmware, then using SP Flash Tool.
Council staff, it is a ROM-based firmware official, who wanted to avoid losing your personal data (applications, etc.), can make advance the backup of your existing firmware and, after you install and configure this, restore its back-up created ONLY PART OF USERDATA !!!! You will have the new firmware, but with your personal data. On how to back up, I refer you to post already abundantly treated on site.
I avoid putting screenshoot, would not make sense as a question of changing the official firmware that we all know.
Since this is a first version, I think it goes without saying that all users are welcome tips, questions, clarifications, report problems and mistakes and all you can relate to this ROM ONLY.
NEW!!!
Menu Reboot original
I have created the file "Reboot original" in order to don't have anymore the reboot menu in italian language. This file you can use ONLY ON "PERFECT ROM V2". I'm not sure that will work if you use it on V1 version.
This is the file to flash with TWRP: Reboot original

So i'm just after the easiest most foolproof way to get ROOT there is nothing on the phone i can't replace i have only had it a few weeks, it is KERNEL VERSION

Yes, is correct....if you flash this "PERFECT ROM" you'll never need to improve others mod, because all the mods (root, recovery, busybox, etc) are integrated in my ROM.
I called the ROM in this mode, because you non need to do anithing after the installation!!!
P.S. I'm sorry for my poor english
Thank you

Thank you for your reply, I have not tried it yet,but i think i will. I will read about it and get familiar with the installation process and when i have gained the confidence i will install it. it might be a while i might practice on an older cheaper phone first but when it is done i will let you know how things are. Thank you again for your reply, i am very grateful

I'm trying to install your ROM with the official Flashing Tool_v3.1504 but I am running into problems (comports and checksums).
Can I install your Perfect ROM with the other SP_Flash_Tool_5.1532? If yes, where can I find the instructions to install the full ROM as a firmware upgrade? Are they the same as for installing just TWRP as you describe in your other post?
Thank you in advance

Did that and went OK.
Your translating efforts went a bit too far: even when I choose Portuguese language there are some things in Italian!

how to format the stock rom
hi...i want to format the stock rom because i installed accidentally a malware from playstore that i cant delete with any malware software and the only thing i can do now is to deactivate the file that is infected.
1)i know hot to root the phone but i must first delete the virus...can i format the stock rom with SP Flash Tool?
2)to install perfect rom i just have to download it with sp tool and thats it?
2)if i root the phone ulefone says that we cant receive any updates....so if i choose to install the official updated rom how can i get any future updates? i read somewhere that i can have updates if i reinstall the official flashing Tool v3.1504 , is it true or must i do something else to have updates?
3)can you suggest me any good malware software to avoid future infections.
thanks for your time.
"Perfect ROM V 2.0"
Available on the first page, version "FULL FIRMWARE", designed for people who want to flash the full firmware.
For those who already have the 1.0 version, I'm uploading an "UPDATE" version where there is the opportunity to flash only the changes between the two versions.
Both have to be flashed with SP Flash Tool and you can not flash through recovery. Obviously those who make the UPDATE, do not lose anything, the only changes will be the improvements of the last released firmware (28.01.2016).
IMEI issue
Hi, I downloaded and installed the V2 full rom without any problem... when the phone booted the first time I noticed that there was no signal for either sim cards. I dialed #*06* and saw there was no imei on either. I search on the web for a solution and found a program called "Maui META 3G" and with it I could write the two imei numbers on the phone again... I thought that with this procedure the problem would be solved, but only the first sim card is working, the second one is recognized by the phone and it ask me wich sim card i want to use for calling, data connection and sms, but no signal for the second one... then thinking that the second sim was broken I swapped them and the same happend, the second one was not working and the first one was working. both imei are good now but the sim card I put on the second slot does not works.
Can you help me please?
Hi Cuvetto,
great work creating a custom rom, intend to install this weekend, but i don't want to get into trouble like intolko.
Shoud IMEI also be backed up with MtkDroidTool and should after flashing your rom also be restored like userdata ?
And what about mac address, need that also user attention or should that be no problem ?
Thanks for any clearance,

I think that you flashed the rom using "Format all+download" and in this mode, you lose your IMEI.
To restore your IMEI, you can also use other procedure (MobileUncle is an App for this, but don't take it from Playstore, Take it from internet or blackmarket).
I'm sorry for your problem, but noone installed my rom had IMEI problem.

If you want, you can create a bak-up of your IMEI with MobileUncle, (I suggest to do everybody, is a safety procedure)
MTKdroid, doesn't work with our smartphone, you can manage our smartphone, with MobileUncle (take it from blackmarket or internet, not on playstore).
Many people ahve installed my rom, and never noone have lost the IMEI, maybe intolko has made confusion during the flashing procedure.

Hey. I managed to get sdcard working on my twrp but the one you ported is much better as it has more support even with the no reboot problem. It may be best to leave your twrp as it is. It is fully working just with no reboot. Which is relatively minor.
Regarding sdcard not showing on rr ported rom that you using now.
Did you copy....
System/bin/vold
System/bin/sdcard
When you port. Did you copy them from stock to port?...

So you want the internal storage to be parsed with external storage like in cyanogenmod roms where it uses external sd as system.. ..
My recovery wont work with ressurection remix i dont think but you can try I will upload later. I think i fixed where it looks for ext sd.

[GUIDE] HOW To Multiboot on Lenovo P2

Hi guys I'll share with you how to multiboot roms on Lenovo P2 using an app called DualBoot Patcher.
Currently I'm using 3 roms, they're simultaneously installed on my phone and all I need to switch the rom is a single tap via the app we'll discuss below.
The roms I have installed right now:
-S062_170117_ROW as primary
-RR 5.8.2 as secondary
-S232_170320_ROW as data-slot
As you may already think about it, yes having 3 roms or more installed on your phone is eating your internal storage a bit.
Check the shots attached below for all the storage details for each Rom. I currently have 12GB free on the internal storage.
---
Okay let's start with the tutorial.
Requirements:
-Root
-Unlocked Bootloader
First of all I want to say Big Thanks to the developer of the DualBoot Patcher @chenxiaolong. Feel free to visit the official thread of the app, say/press thanks and if you're good even donate to him.
Also you can thank me for adding our great device Lenovo P2 to the supported devices. I opened pull request on GitHub that is already processed.
I'll start with the steps of my tutorial:
1)
The first thing of course is to download the app from it's official page
As of the time this guide is written make sure to download the build 9.2.0.r8.g4da14ed or newer as the older builds don't support Lenovo P2. Currently only the P2a42 model is supported, if there is interest from a P2c72 owners I'll add a pull request on GitHub.
2)
You have the apk, install it and set the kernel when the app asks you. Good thing is to update the ramdisk of the primary rom, but you still can multiboot even if you didn't. You can force update the ramdisk by hitting the update ramdisk button 3 times. Always reboot after setting kernel or updating the ramdisk.
3)
Now I assume you have the zip file for the other rom. Select "Patch zip file" from the side menu and choose where to install it. You have a choice of:
-Primary Rom Upgrade (not recommended, it will override your primary rom! For security reasons can only be selected from a rom different from primary.)
-Secondary (I recommend this if you wish to use only 2 Roms, the rom will be installed on the same partition as the primary rom, it won't affect the internal storage. Only the data will be on internal. The system partition of P2 is 3.87GB and you can put 2 roms there easily.)
-Multi-slot (not recommended, suitable for phones with large cache partitions, 1.5-2G)
-Data-slot (this will affect your internal storage, system and data on internal, reliable option if you use 3 or more roms.
-Extsd-slot ( the rom will be installed on your extsd card! Yeah you hear me, an awesome feature, but unfortunately kind of unstable, you have issues here and there and also you have slightly decreased performance as you're running the rom from your sdcard which is several times slower than the internal storage unless you're running one of the most expensive extsd cards.
Select secondary or data slot, choose a save path and patch the rom.
4)
Install the rom. Easy as it sounds. Press the pink button in bottom right, press it once again and select the rom you patched in the previous step. As you can see you can even restore a backup made with the app. It's not for restoring a twrp backup. You can backup roms within the DualBoot Patcher. Also you can flash roms patched with this app in twrp. Choose where to install it or leave it as it is and press the ✓ button in up right. The rom will be flashed.
Important! Don't switch to another app or do anything else when the rom is being installed, otherwise the patcher will crash! 1-2 minutes and you're done, not much of a waiting.
5)
Hey you made it. You now have 2 roms simultaneously installed on your phone! When you install a new rom the patcher will automatically switch to it. That doesn't mean it will auto reboot to the new rom, it will just switch to it in the Roms list, you can always switch to the primary or other rom again. I think that's pretty much about it guys. Now just switch to the new rom and select reboot from the side menu of the patcher, it will reboot to the new rom. You can repeat the procedure as many times as you want.
My record is 8 Roms, that was in the past with other phone. Because of this crazy number I'm a proud winner of the gold medal for the "Most number of multiboot roms installed lmao.
If you have questions feel free the write below and as always hit thanks if I was helpful. See ya. :highfive:
Update: Starting from build 9.2.0.r54.g8b79a2b the patcher now supports the P2c72 too!
so my P2c72 is on the way, you think it's not supported? Isn't everything the same except for the internal space? I was planning to flash the official P2a42 ROM anyways.
Thoughts?

I don't think, I'm sure it's not supported because I put the codenames on github and P2c72 is not in the list. No problem if you want to multiboot I'll add it in no time. You can flash all the roms available here for p2a42 on your P2c72 just fine by removing the first lines "assert get prop" in the updater-script. You can flash these roms the usual way via twrp. But if you use the DualBoot Patcher as for now it won't recognize the P2c72.

Cheers! My phone is on the way from china. Might be another week or so Right now just browsing everything that we have here.
Thanks for this. After so many ROMS ported recently, this would really help me out with having one stable daily driver and others to try to. Not an android developer but I'd like to try my hands as well finally to make a ROM and maybe look into the two bugs that are persistent across all ROMS. Let's see. I've just developed apps for now.
Anyways, thanks, this is indeed good stuff.
Yes, I love this app. It's the future of Rom's flashing, just switching between Roms like a boss. Btw congrats you bought the P2c72, it's 64gb right?

thanks, waiting for the bootloader to get done with its 15 days. All ready to flash everything!
Although can you tell me how it works? Like my phone is flashed with the global p2a42 ROM but it is p2c72. Should I change the name in build.prop?

Sorry brother didn't go through as I can't actually do it. Still waiting on my bootloader :/
So anyone had any success with p2c72?
I tried, but it fails. Doesn't throw any error but gets stuck in the boot and eventually reboots in twrp.
My only doubt is how does it know that the phone is p2c72? The build.prop says p2a42 so does the app thinks that its p2142 and wrongly patch it?
Is this just for experimenting or is there any advantage using 2 os same time? Isn't this can be cause a heat problem because of the more cpu/ram usage?
Can't find supported version of app! Can anyone here help me out wuth version?

The first thing of course is to download the app from it's official page
As of the time this guide is written make sure to download the build 9.2.0.r8.g4da14ed or newer as the older builds don't support Lenovo P2. Currently only the P2a42 model is supported, if there is interest from a P2c72 owners I'll add a pull request on GitHub.
2)
You have the apk, install it and set the kernel when the app asks you. Good thing is to update the ramdisk of the primary rom, but you still can multiboot even if you didn't. You can force update the ramdisk by hitting the update ramdisk button 3 times. Always reboot after setting kernel or updating the ramdisk.
3)
Now I assume you have the zip file for the other rom. Select "Patch zip file" from the side menu and choose where to install it. You have a choice of:
-Primary Rom Upgrade (not recommended, it will override your primary rom! For security reasons can only be selected from a rom different from primary.)
-Secondary (I recommend this if you wish to use only 2 Roms, the rom will be installed on the same partition as the primary rom, it won't affect the internal storage. Only the data will be on internal. The system partition of P2 is 3.87GB and you can put 2 roms there easily.)
-Multi-slot (not recommended, suitable for phones with large cache partitions, 1.5-2G)
-Data-slot (this will affect your internal storage, system and data on internal, reliable option if you use 3 or more roms.
-Extsd-slot ( the rom will be installed on your extsd card! Yeah you hear me, an awesome feature, but unfortunately kind of unstable, you have issues here and there and also you have slightly decreased performance as you're running the rom from your sdcard which is several times slower than the internal storage unless you're running one of the most expensive extsd cards.
Select secondary or data slot, choose a save path and patch the rom.
4)
Install the rom. Easy as it sounds. Press the pink button in bottom right, press it once again and select the rom you patched in the previous step. As you can see you can even restore a backup made with the app. It's not for restoring a twrp backup. You can backup roms within the DualBoot Patcher. Also you can flash roms patched with this app in twrp. Choose where to install it or leave it as it is and press the ✓ button in up right. The rom will be flashed.
Important! Don't switch to another app or do anything else when the rom is being installed, otherwise the patcher will crash! 1-2 minutes and you're done, not much of a waiting.
5)
Hey you made it. You now have 2 roms simultaneously installed on your phone! When you install a new rom the patcher will automatically switch to it. That doesn't mean it will auto reboot to the new rom, it will just switch to it in the Roms list, you can always switch to the primary or other rom again. I think that's pretty much about it guys. Now just switch to the new rom and select reboot from the side menu of the patcher, it will reboot to the new rom. You can repeat the procedure as many times as you want.
My record is 8 Roms, that was in the past with other phone. Because of this crazy number I'm a proud winner of the gold medal for the "Most number of multiboot roms installed lmao.
If you have questions feel free the write below and as always hit thanks if I was helpful. See ya. :highfive:
Update: Starting from build 9.2.0.r54.g8b79a2b the patcher now supports the P2c72 too!
