Hello,
I have an InFocus M535 (foxconn) with Android 5.1 installed from the factory. The device has been rooted and I want to install LineageOS 13.0 on it.
However, the smartphone is not on the list of devices supported by LineageOS. I was told that in this case it is still possible to build it "for your device" having a Linux PC and development tools installed.
I found "How to Build Lineageos rom for any android device Easily ! {Full guide}" on the net.
and I am very confused because I don't get how building LineageOS on a standalone computer would fetch my device specific modules? Since I am not building it on the phone!
What does "device supported by LineageOS" really mean? When device is not on the list of supported by LineageOS, it's one of the two:
(1) still possible to build it manually on a Linux PC.
(2) not possible to build it manually.
So which one of the two? I suspect I was misled and it's #2.

How ?
How did you root your device ?? I can't seem to find anything related to rooting M535 !
I have an Infocus M535 too and neither I can find any way of rooting it nor any custom rom.
Not even a way to put twrp or any other good recovery application on this.
HELP!

Hi guys,
Well, title says it almos all...
After reading several posts here, I decided to go for a code to unlock my bootloader and I was successful at that.
I also install TWRP as a custom recovery and I was successful at that too.
I tried then to root the phone, and I could do it.
So I was wondering : as Huawei does not release any source code, would it be possible to install a GSI ROM on that device to get rid of EMUI ?
Anyone tried that ?
Would love to hear an answer, especially if it is "Yes, I did it and it works like a charm"
Regards.
First you need someone with the ability to create said rom.
Hi,
I am taking about a GSI ROM.
GSI stand for "Generic System Image".
It means that it is a ROM that is, in theory, installable on EVERY device that supports Treble project.
And, according to Google policies, for a device released with Oreo as a main system, it is MANDATORY to support Treble...
But of course, manufacturers always do it their way... and can't care less about Google's guidelines.
So the question is : is Honor Note 10 Treble compatible ?
Regards.
Hi,
Well, I am investigating this a little further...
I just checked if the device is (in theory) Treble enabled...
And guess what ?
"adb shell getprop ro.treble.enabled
true"
So, this is encouraging...
I will try to install a GSI ROM on this device. I assume that I will still be able to reflash the other original ROM in case this goes wrong.
At least I hope to be able to do so !!!
Regards.
I managed to install the AOSP project treble but with something that did not work, for example the fingerprint or the 4G network was poor

I do not recommend installing the GSI for the time being
I had also installed a Resurrection Remix without success, blocking the unlock code of the phone and did not make me go on
I want to root my new tablet but i can't find TWRP for it...can somebody help me?
Anyone
Why not build the necessary TWRP at your own?
Look inside here:
How can I get TWRP for my device? (how to compile TWRP)
We can’t afford to buy every device made and many times certain devices are only available in other countries. TWRP is fully open source, so you can port TWR...

This pad is not likely to be open sourced so need to port from stock recovery.
I want to root this phone, mainly to turn off dm-verity because it keeps popping up even after a factory reset and this may be my only good option, but what custom rom should I use for this? I tried looking around and couldn't find any recommended ones. Blu Vivo XL4 android version 8.1.0 and the roms I looked at (Corvus OS, AOSPExtended) did not list my device for the downloads at all. Any suggestions or help for rooting this thing? First proper rootable phone I have gotten and I'm not sure the best process for this.

Vivo doesn't allow bootloader to be unlocked
That's nonsense, I can enable OEM unlocking in the developer settings, ain't that what's required?

It's not Vivo company! That's a BLU company.

You need a special steps for work. Not a exclusive file to your phone because GSI (actual custom rom for any device with Android 8.1 and next android version) need some files to fix booting that in your device. But the happy notice is about actual GSI files not need very files for fix or maybe nothing.
Try install AOSP from phhusson Android 9 and Android 10 repository to know. Other great GSI is crDroid by eremitein or other GSI files by him. Need testing.

I'm on.. what's it called, Oreo? Android 8. Not sure if that's going to cause any trouble for roms.

Yes! Android 8 from very OEMs/companies not have Treble/GSI compatibility.
Only Android 8.1 has that.
Update: Install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.hack5.treblecheck&hl=en-US in the phone and know what architecture your phone/firmware has. That will show you which type of GSI file you can test.
Listing what that app says..
Required Image: Needs an image file named system-arm64-aonly.img.xz
Treble and VNDK: Supports legacy version of Treble, using VNDK version 27.0
System as Root: Does not support, use an a-only OS.
ARM-64 archetecture.
Seamless Upgrades not supported.
Does not use Dynamic Partitions.
Unless I missed anything, is this what was needed? Also I am on 8.1.0 for android version, I didn't know if that was just Oreo or if 8.1 had it's own name.

In the first update Android 7.1 [Nougat] to 8.0 and after upgrade to 8.1 [Oreo]. Normal.
All informations good to know what GSI you should test.
Now you can install with fastboot or Custom Recovery [TWRP]. So if has is better and fast.
If not so can using fastboot commands.
Obviusly need bootloader unlocked!
You can read and find more threads but this is good: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-blu-vivo-xl4-vivo-xi-vivo-xi.3877294/
The only part I should warn you about is the loss of IMEI. So soon as you can do backup from your phone the files NVRAM; NDATA; NVCFG with SPFT or other way like fastboot you won't have wasted time and hassles.

I'll give it a shot. In terms of performing a backup, I would assume that' typical "copy all files on phone to desktop folder just in case"
I should've mentioned, I don't have an SD card in my device, just a SIM card. I don't think I can use TWRP, which is going to complicate matters.
Hello I have a Blu Vivo XL4 android 8.1.0 Oreo, I'm trying to install a custom rom, I looked everywhere not a single rom is made for Blu phones.
bootloader unlocked
according to treble info:
System-arm64-aonly.img.xz
Your device supports the legacy version of project treble using VNDK version 27.0
Use an A-ONLY operating system
ARM64
Seamless upgrades are not supported
NO dynamic partitions
HELP
thanks
Hey everyone!
Recently i came across this pretty obscure device and i would like to know if there would be any way i could install a newer version of android on it, as its currently running Android 4.4.2.
Haven't been able to find much info surrounding this device, but i attached some photos of the info i was able to obtain from it.
Device Name: Myria 502M (Alps mr590)
Board: m601
SoC MediaTek MT8382
To replace existing Android OS ( here: upgrade ) that's what is required:
1. Phone's bootloader must be unlockable
2. A Custom Recovery matching the phone
3. A Custom ROM ( read: Android OS ) suitable to phone

Thanks for the info
But thing is, i wasn't able to find much info about this model of device, let alone see it on TWRP's list or find any custom rom available that weren't on really shady websites.
So i think im mostly out of luck
Hi people,
can anyone tell me where i can download the stock-rom / firmware-image for Blackview A80Plus device?
Blackview itself just offering the A80 and A80S software.
Bootloader was unlocked successful, but SP-Software won't detect my phone in recovery mode. (Something missing maybe?)
And then, the problem to find actual rom's. The device was released 2020 and no specific LineageOS or other custom-rom is available.
Maybe we can collect some founds in this thread.
This would be very helpful for persons with the same problem.
