Maybe... How many people has this phone ?

Also interested with root on this device
This phone is sold in France under "Orange Hiro" name

Hello,
I just successfull root this phone with Framaroot !
It's a MT6572 Chipset.
For root go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276 and take Framaroot-1.6.1.apk
PS : The initial app are in /custpack folder.
Next step : Unlock bootloader ? and found a working recovery ? maybe that ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458544 but it doesn't boot locked bootloader ?

This phone is one of the best phone regarding the battery I have ever had.
And new Alcatel firmwares contain this new cool SONY-Stamina-like feature:

Too bad the battery is non removable. Perhaps TCL/Alcatel expect us to throw the phone once the battery dead.

[Q] Xperia C3 from China - How To???

Hi all,
I bought a Sony Xperia C3 from China and as you know I can't install google apps and have a banch of chinese apps.
Is there a way to wipe everything and allow gapps? DO I have to root, install the CW and upgrade the firmware?
I live in the UK so ideally I would like to make the phone as a UK one---if possible.
WHere do I find the firmware updates if required?
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
John

There is a way to make your device completely UK model. Download the ftf of latest firmware of Sony Xperia C3 from HERE and then flash it using Wmshua flash tool.Your device will become completely UK model!
(If you are having problem with the language of wmshua the go to C:\Program Files(X86)\完美刷机 or the place where you have installed Wmshua then rename the folder "language" to "language_x" language will become English)
Guide to use Wmshua :
*Switch Off your mobile phone and get the Original USB Cable pf your device
*Open Wmshua and then Connect your device to PC pressing the Volume Down Key
*As Soon as connected Wmshua will install device drivers (taking about a minute), then go to "Flash" option and select the ftf file from there. And click on Start. It will take about 20 minutes or maybe more to flash the file. Wait Till It Completes.

Hi.
I will try this.
Forgot to mention that I have the Sony xperia C3 DUAL SIM. Does it make any difference? Can I still follow the above procedure?
And one last thing: when I click the ftf link, I can see 17 files. Do I have to download all of them? Seems I can't get access to those files.
Thanks angain

Hi,
I did the flash and the device works perfectly but with one SIM.
The device is S55u and not D2502, which is the one you got the firmware.
How can I find the firmware for s55u? Also, is the firmware form russian provider?
John

iSiddharth,
I hadn't inserted the SIMs before. I did it now and the phone works with both of the SIMs, so I am good.
Tried to find the differences between the s5u and D2502 models but didn't find anything. Do you think I should do the s55u or there is no problem?

I also have this issue except I have a s55t. As far as I can tell this is a very similar model, but I can find almost no information on it. Do you happen to know if the rom you linked is compatible? I have already got CWM and root on my phone. Also do you know is there are any custom roms available for this yet (Clean lollipop is on the wishlist)?

Hi,
yes apparently the two models are very similar. I have a couple of pdfs that were showing the differences. My recollection at the moment is that there are no important differences among those products (or I didn't get it which is a possibility). I can share them with you if you wish.
I used the image from the link above and installed everything on the phone. So far (4 months or so) the device works perfectly.
I am not aware of the custom roms but to be honest I didn't try to search any. Sorry
John

I flashed S55t to D2502 ..
imei 1 I is ok
imei 2 Iis 00000000000000
BUT both sims are working ...

i also having the same problem. i have followed your steps and but when i try to install the firmware its giving me an error that the file is compatible with my device. Model Number: s55u Build number: 19.2.1.A.0.72.

It seems like the link between your pc and phone was lost during data transfer. Ensure to have the link between the mobile and pc secured. Try replacing the drivers and the usb cable with a good quality one. Loose connections can also cause this type of problem. Something similar happened to me too...
After above flash factory firmware to revive your device first. You can root it subsequently.
You can get all the information in the forum under the Factory Firmware thread. Be careful to download the firmware compatible for your mobile model only.

It is not clear if your phone's bootloader has been unlocked or not. Rooting apps have been known to create issues with Moto G3. I tried to root my phone (which has its bootloader unlocked) with the Kingroot app. Although I could succeed and boot the device, the signals vanished. Hence I adapted the traditional way of rooting using the fastboot mode.
If you have still issues of not being able to boot your phone, then please flash stock firmware available in Factory Firmware thread of this forum (you can flash even though your bootloader is unlocked) as per details given there in. You can root your phone later. If you have an unlocked bootloader, there are other posts to guide you how to ulock the bootloader first. Please note you cannot modify software if your bootloader is locked.

FRD-AL10 / Full Stock Rom needed

Hey Guys,
can somebody upload a full-zip from Honor FRD-AL10.
I damaged my micro-SD and lost all my backups.
Actually I am on FRD-AL10C00B135.
I know there is B136 available, but I don't get it offer.
Also I found out, other things are not working well.
I would like to do a full reset, which won't work via erecovery.
Thanks a lot for help!

Baidu is notorious for its download software for big files. If you have problems with that, you can install Firefox and a plugin called User Agent Switch, switch your Firefox user agent to IE3.0 and visit baidu again, then you can use download software, like IDM to download big files freely, without its b*s download manager...

Hi,
I am not a dev and my knowledge on flashing and rooting is only from reading posts. Can I ask for a little advice and maybe instructions? Is it possible the rom from link can help with my situation described below?
I bought honor 8 frd al10 from china. The sim doesn't initiate. I firstly loaded android wear from play store to pair with my Huawei Watch. A message popped up saying 'this phone was flashed with unsupported config for companion. you must reflash it as either signed/user or unsigned/userdebug'. I tried to get help from seller but that's no use and they referred me to xda. They say my rom is EU. In the settings, the build is FRD-C900B120. IMEI and MEID are showing as unknown. There is no Baseband version showing. I am not an expert but I know this ain't right. After watching some of the videos, I used ADB to get to fastboot. It says device unlocked. This is where i get stuck and don't know what else to do. I simply want this phone to work as it is intended to. Help, please.
Edit: I forgot to add that reset to factory settings does not work. goes to 13% and says failed.
Also, when I type in a code in dialler to get product ID to get bootloader unlock code from Huawei, nothing happens so I am stuck if the bootloader is not unlocked.
There is no OEM unlock option in the dev options.

It looks like your phone and your ROM are in some twisted status: they are not match.
If you really use AL10 from China, there is a method to fully restore your phone to original status (AL10 original ROM). But I have to remind you the risk first, backup all your contacts to PC/GoogleContacts/Exchange before you proceed.
If you are ready, go to this post below, follow the instructions on 2nd post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-rooted-twrp-modaco-rom-unable-t3462039
1. Download AL10 stock rom from my Mega link.
2. Extract necessary files using method above.
3. Follow the rest of instructions.
Now you fully go back to Stock AL10 phone as when it was sold in China and you can start to work from there.
If you don't like China stock ROM, what you can do is Debrand/Rebrand your phone which means, in simple, you change some parameters in your phone, to let your phone and ROM thinks it is from some other region, like EU/ME.
You can find details about Debrand/Rebrand method and video guide in following 2 posts:

Wow. First of all, thank you kindly. Looks like a load of work. I will try it and I really appreciate your help and your time.
The device is AL10 as per box/back of the device itself. There is nothing on this phone I would care to loose. Its like this straight out of the box. I don't mind what software I am using as long as I can make calls, use internet, pair my watch, download apps from play store (i understand this may be the issue with Chinese rom). I think what seller was intending to do is the debranding to make it EU.
If you don't mind, I will contact you (quote) if I encounter issues on the way.

Most HUAWEI's phones come with Google Play Services installed, what you need is Google Play Store, if I didn't remember it wrong.
From what I read, a proper debrand should never put your phone in a mess up status, but I haven't done that myself. If you can take time, maybe can study that SRK tool and debrand it yourself. Anyway, now you know you will have the final restore weapon.

Now you fully go back to Stock AL10 phone as when it was sold in China and you can start to work from there.
If you don't like China stock ROM, what you can do is Debrand/Rebrand your phone which means, in simple, you change some parameters in your phone, to let your phone and ROM thinks it is from some other region, like EU/ME.
You can find details about Debrand/Rebrand method and video guide in following 2 posts:

I am either doin something wrong or this is not fixable.
I've tried and force update by putting update.app into dload on internal storage on phone. updating stopped after 3 % failed and asked to reboot.
I've tried reboot in bootloader and in adb typed 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' which i first extracted from update.app. I get: sending recovery OKAY, writing recovery FAILED <remote: command not allowed>

It feels like your phone is not properly unlocked or somehow relocked, maybe you should try to unlock your phone again.
Here is the post for your reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
You may have troubles in finding these in your phone according to your previous post, try the code below.
1. Your phone serial number (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
open dial pad and enter *#*#2846579#*#*, should be some options called "board basic info", and then "others" (I translate from Chinese website, maybe not accurate)

2. Your phone IMEI1 (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
*#06#, if you have dual sim, key in main IMEI/MEID

3. Your phone product ID (to find this, open the dialler and enter *#*#1357946#*#*)

Thank you again.
The last is not possible as it returns nothing at all. I'll attempt Huawei live chat support on Monday in hope they can help with unlock code.
First two are printed on the box and the back of phone. There is also a sticker on the back of it with Chinese writing and some combination of letters and numbers. I doubt they are the product ID.

If you can take a picture of them and post it here, maybe I can help, since I'm Chinese.

the best thing to do is getting a someone backup without efs and restore . ( just rename one folder and replace phone serial no .

Hi,
Thank you, although as previously, my knowledge is basic, practice even less. If you are able to instruct, I will give it a try.

I also have a china version of a 128GB FRD AL10 its all working fine but i would like to go to a europe ROM if i can? the seller said Huawei told him if he flashed the device it would break and not work with an EU ROM? i cant set encryption and this is an issue for me as i need it for my work email to work. i also have quite a lot of Chinese text still on some areas, any help greatly appreciated

hi, you can install a European rom instead of the Chinese version in the FRD-AL10? Best regards

Hey, got the same question as albertazzi65 and cwpaters, can I install another ROM on the Al10? And will that enable another bands fot lte?

New device : Gome K1

Hi,
I am a little new and don't really know about this subject but :
I purchased a new phone : a Gome K1.
This is not tablet but phone. This is a new brandt. This a MTK (MT6757).
For the story, it came to me with chinese ROM, all menus in chinese
I asked to the seller to give me a ROM with playstore and french. They done it.
I flashed their new ROM with a proprietary flash tool. Now I have a android 6 ROM with Playstore, french menus. Well !
But I'd like to know if there is a way to root it, and install a TWRP :
The ROM came with bootloader locked and no recovery. It is entirely blocked.
No way to unlock bootloader via the general way (fastboot oem unlock --> unknown command)
I read some articles that deal with spflashtool and porting TWRP, but I'm new to this and I don't think I will be able to make all these steps correctly to flash a TWRP ...
Does someone has an idea ?
Is my post on the good topic ?

Up, does someone have an idea of how to root it ?

Hello,i also have a Gome K1 phone and I am also interested at rooting it.
There is an ' OEM unlocking option' under the developers option in the settings, have you tried that yet?
If you managed to import twrp and rooted the phone can you pls send here the steps, Thanks

Hello, happy to not be alone with this phone ...
Yes I tried everything, after enabling unknown source, OEM unlocking and USB Debugging developer options :
- All root apks
- all existing root kits using ADB
- Method with a linux distro to access Phone filesystem as root ( cannot see my phone ... )
Now I'm trying to use SP flashtool last version, but even that cannot correctly access the phone to Readback my recovery : there is BROM error, so I think that phone is not compatible with the phone (seen on a forum ...)
So if someone has an idea, he is welcome

When I contacted them, they send me a non rooted custom ROM which embed Google Apps and All language, AND another flash tool.
This flash tool seems to be based on SP flash tool. It seems to have restrictions (no readback ability ...).
I'm not able to backup anything with this tool or with SP flash tool.
Whis spflashtool, when clicking ReadBack, I power off my phone, and plug USB cable.
It begins the process but I immediatly encounter a BROM error :
ERROR: status_brom_cmd_send_da_fail (0xC0060003)
I read a post which indicate to try to plug usb cable when pressing Power plus Volume Up, but I don't think it can work, because I know that their tool works without that operation.
So now I'm still stuck here. Does someone have an idea ?

Hi
On the Russian forum 4pda, the topic GOME K1 we are also discussing and trying to solve the problem of a locked bootloader. So far no results. ROOT is also not yet possible to get.
I've also ported twrp for GOME K1, but there's no point in installing it until the bootloader is unlocked. Otherwise we will get a brick.

Hi
In Developer options there is a setting to unlock bootloader, it's the third toggle down.
Hope this helps.

No, it's not working. This switch does not affect the boot loader state.

Hello vsxby,
I was successful in flashing custom ROM that vendor uploaded for me.
So I thing I can flash just the recovery with their tool. I'm not an expert, so I'm just a little affraid to follow a guide to port a TRWP for Gome K1 and try to flash it, since it can brick the phone.
If you want, I can't send you a copy of their tool they sent to me (SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe) ...

Thank you, but I already have this tool. As I wrote before flashing TWRP we need to unlock the bootloader. While this is not impossible to do. But one of our users on 4pda is going to ask the manufacturer to unlock bootloader. In case of success, I will inform you.
If you want to experiment and flash TWRP with a locked bootloader, I can give you the TWRP I made, but I warn you, it's not safe.

Bro,Can you upload the firmware and tools to google drive or something like? It will be very helpful for dealing with this mediatek replica phone(aus6757_66_m),i got some possible factory test MTK AOSP,but the link expires ：（

We were unable to contact the manufacturer and the moderators of the official GOME forum do not have this information. At the moment, there are no solutions to this issue.

I used your tools in the windows 10 lap. and also in the windows 7 lap but it was useless. I am going to try the procedure in the windows 8.1 lap. can you tell me exactly how you flash your phone with that tool ?
