[ROM] Hellstra Skitzandroid Telstra-Cyanogen Mod

All,
This rom is a rebuilt version of the latest Telstra AU ROM with GPS fix ( RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.16.841.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_126124_signed ).
I have removed all of the Telstra crap and added some useful apps. I have deployed it to my unbranded phone and it is working fine.
Changes from the standard ROM include:
- Removed all of the Telstra apps (except whereis... maybe next version )
- Added root access, of course
- Apps2SD included but not functional (you can get it to work by issuing adb commands)
- WiFi Tethering included. Will probably remove from the next version as it's a bit flaky.
- Changed the boot animation to the Nexus One anim
- Some additional apps such as:
3D Gallery
Car Home
Navigator
Voice Dialer
Others I inevitably forgot
To do:
- Figure out how to add APNs to the ROM
- Fix A2SD
Download link is in the next post.

IMPORTANT: READ FIRST
Flashing ROMs in general is a risky business. If you've never flashed a non-standard ROM before, I suggest you read about and understand the method before you even consider downloading this. I take no responsibility for any issues that may be caused by this ROM. Use it at your own risk.
I also suggest you read here and note any known issues and changes for new versions.
You must have a rooted handset to be able to flash this ROM. Head over to MoDaCo, or search XDA for guides on how to root your phone.
To flash this ROM to a rooted handset, follow these instructions:
BEFORE YOU START
Copy the zip file to the root of your SD card.
Method A:
1a) Power on your phone, holding the VOLUME-DOWN button until you see the HBOOT menu
2a) Use the VOLUME buttons to navigate to the "Recovery" option and select it using the POWER button
....continue from step 3 below.
Method B (quicker but requires SDK)
1b) Boot up your phone and connect it to your PC via Micro-USB cable
2b) Execute 'adb reboot recovery' form the tools directory of the Android SDK
....continue from step 3 below.
3) Once you see the red triangle (of death ) connect your phone to your PC using the micro-USB cable
4) Go to the 'pushfiles' folder that came with the root-kit from MoDaCo.
5) Execute ./recovery-linux.sh (Linux), ./recovery-mac.sh (OSX) or recovery-windows.bat (Windows) and wait for the recovery menu to load.
6) Use the TRACKBALL to navigate to the Wipe option. Select Wipe by clicking the optical trackball. Do a System wipe, followed by a cache wilpe and finally a dalvik-cache wipe (each of the first three options). Once complete, press the VOL-DOWN button to return to the main menu.
7) From the main menu select FLASH ZIP FROM SDCARD, select the ROM zip file, confirm flash.
8) Once flashing is complete, select REBOOT from the menu.
9) Enjoy your uncluttered handset

Changelog
=======================
Issues:
=======================
- Titanium Backup not working. Its not included in the ROM but just thought I'd mention it It complains about not being able to get root access whereas every other app that requires root access works fine so far. Downloading busybox through TB causes a FC.
- Some people are getting the A2SD infinite boot loop issue (next version will definitely not include A2SD as you can add it yourself if you want it).
You can get out of the loop by doing:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
from the SDK tools folder on your PC to get back to the recovery menu.
You can also do 'adb shell' and then issue the command 'a2sd' from the shell but I wouldn't advise it. It will boot up 'normally' but it's not a permanent fix.

Nice one!!
I'm yet to root my phone and WILL get to it in good time.
When I do, I'll give this one a flash.
Thanks for your work.
Death to all the Hellstra visual bloatware scum that crapped up the original ROM (stupid splash screen Tel$tra ding noise especially)

Hey guys,
Correct me if I'm wrong but for anyone with a Telstra set the problem is 2 fold?
1) we need to be able to Root the phone, Paul's latest 0800 root method will hopefully fix this
2) we need a ROM that incorporates the Telstra GPS fix whilst debloating the phone.
Does that mean that if we want to use GPS we are restricted to ROMs cooked with the GPS fix? or will any generic ROM do the trick (i.e. those from MoDOCO?

I am experiencing the pink AMOLED problem at low brightness and may have to replace the phone with another one. If I root the phone and flash this ROM, can I flash back the original ROM that I downloaded recently from HTC to restore it to the state it was when I bought it?

I dont think so. You could flash the original Telstra one back again but the recovery partition is wiped/messed around with as part of the rooting process. Have a look around Modaco and you'll find your answer - you're definitely not the first to ask.

The GPS issue was a software related bug from the shipped ROM, I read somewhere on here someone mentioning that they flashed the generic ROM and had GPS working before HTC/Telstra released the update

yeah the new Telstra ROM had the exact same GPS config as my unbranded one so the prolem was caused by Telstra meddling with things.... surprise surprise!

Cheers bcmobile. So in your opinion am I correct in saying that it's better I wait until the screen problem is worked out (to return under warranty to Telstra from whom I bought it outright) before I go rooting the device?

well tried yrs BC
and now it boots to the htc logo ..and stays there
i've tried twice now.
i can get to recovery mode tho, something wrong with yr image maybe?
note in recovery mode ..down the bottom, it says " Build: not set"

note that i tried yrs after succesffulyy rooting via the latest method from paul, and, applying the radio update. neither got my gps working so i've tried yrs ..

I've used three Desires and they all show the pink on low brightness so returning it under warranty won't help you.

ok, my phones working again, rerooted with pauls method.
but have no gps and i can't flash back to the telstra rom thanks to the radio updating my hboot to .80

same here guys. I rooted using Paul's latest method but gps stopped working. and when flashing this Rom it hangs at the white HTC screen. now back to Paul's rooted Rom. hope we fix the gps issue soon!

Thanks for your feed back. At the risk of hijacking this thread and double posting - My post on the AMOLED sticky.
In summary if you don't want to read my above post, I saw 2 phones 'in store' that did not have the pink issue.

Huawei G750-U10 (honor 3x) Kitkat 4.4.2

A lot of people compaints that Huawei is not updated U10 with kitkat
well the good news is, you can take a little bit trouble and update it to not only kitkat but to Emui 3.0 which makes your phone running par to Ascend mate7

Here we go.
Download all the above files.
1) Root your device with Root Genius (at time's it might take several attempts so do not give up)
2) as soon as you root, go to the playstore and install super su by chainfire. let super su take over the kingroot because i personaly feel Super Su give's the full root.
3) one's you have super user, open it and make sure its functioning.
4) now install MKT Droid tool and backup your NVRAM for which you got to install Vcom drivers to recognise the device. best OS is Win7 32bit to get things straight. incase if the device is not recognised, reboot your PC and try again.
5) One's MKT Tool recognises the device, install adbd on the mobile. it's a paid version. (you know how to get it)
6) open adbd it's in chinese. tik all the boxes in adbd and close.
7) now click on root button at the bottom of MKT Droid tools. it's initially in yellow color. untill it becomes green, you cannot backup NVRAM (this is your esf and imei which you are going to loose after flashing kitkat rom from different mobile brand)
8)after you succeed backup up the NVRam, you did the toughest job of all time.
9)now flash G750-T00 Rom with flash tools which you are going to find in the last link i've provided. search net how to flash with flash tool.
10) after flashing the base, you will loose the network. first thing you got to do is root your mobile with root genius. then install playstore. google for playstore apk. install playstore, sign in with your gmail id and install adbd again. (if you do not want to install play store you know the black way to do it.) one's you install the adbd, tik the boxes and go to MTK Droid tools to restore the NVRAM. which will bring back your network connections.
11) one's you get the network, flash the 251 base as per the last link provided. this one comes with many goodies like twrp, 3minit battery mode etc. one's you flash this base, go to backup and reset and factory reset your phone to gain access to GPRS. it will fix by itself.
12)reboot into twrp and flash gapps.
Enjoy the Rom. EMUI 3.0 is smooth and changing lockscreen wallpapers will blow your mind. over all the mobile drastically changes from mid-range experience to flasgship experience

there after you can flash any custom roms available on chinese site for T20

Hi @jacktackle, good day!
First of all, excuse me for asking noob questions. I'm new here and I really have limited knowledge about smartphones.
I just wanna ask if this would work on my phone? Will my phone be completely rooted? Because I tried several rooting softwares, and everytime I restart my phone I always lose my root access.
Again, sorry for my noob questions. I would really appreciate your help!

4. The SuperSU.ZIP (Thanks Chainfire, we love you)
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
5.(optional) If you want to use the Google Apps i recommend Downloading the GApps Mini for 5.0 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/gapps-mini-t3089612
Now Lets get Started:
1. Unzip the Driver Package and Run the Exe. After Installation, restart you Computer. If using Windows 8, disable Signaure Driver Enforcement.
2. Turn Off you device. Open the SP Flash Tools Folder and run Flash_tool.exe as Administrator.
3. Now Unzip the VibeUI Firmware Package. In SP Flashtools klick on Scatter Load. Navigate to the VibeUI Folder and choose the MT6752_Android_scatter.txt.
Edt: Some People Including me had Problems with the Scatter File. However, If getting errors, try creating your own scatter file referring this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151251
4. Check if every Downloadfile exept the System is Checked, else you will get an error.
5.IMPORTANT: Go to settings, Download and CHECK the DA DL All with Checksum.
6. Klick on Download.
7. NOW the Tricky Part. Remove the Battery. Insert it again. Now leave the Phone Turned off and plug the USB Cable in, but holding the Volume UP button.
8. If you get a Red Bar and a Yellow followed by some grey in SP Flash tools you have done it right. If the Flash was successfully, you will get a green tick mark as passed.
9. Now unplug USB and take the battery out and pop it in again. Boot the Phone. Dont get shocked if it doesn't boot up fast, it usually takes about 6-8 Minutes. Be Patient!
10. If the Phone Boots up successfully, configure it and Connect it as a MTP Device on the Computer.
11. Now Copy the GApps.zip and the SuperSu.Zip to the Root of the Phone Memory.
12. Boot into Recovery (Holding VOL UP AND DOWN while turning the Phone on) and flash the two Zips. Its in Chinese but you will
only need to flash it once. Flash Zip is the Upper Left Button. Choose your GappsZip and use the Back Button to get to the main Screen. Now flash the SuperSA.zip.
13.Reboot. If you dont know how to just take off the battery ( Its quite risky so better try using the Buttons. The Layout is the same as in the English Version)
Finished!Now your Device is Rooted and got the Gapps on it. Download Titanium Backup and remove the Chinese Crap Bloatware. You are now the Master of your Device. I would be really happy about Donations, since It was very Hard to get Hands on these Roms and Recoverys.
INFO: Some People Complained about the lost IMEI, Thank you Soyer88 for the fix! Sorry that I was away for too long, I got my finals.

For those of you who lost the IMEI address on this phone, or ANY other, here is simple guide witch solved my problem:
1. Download this http://www.4shared.com/file/aNRAdrvgba/sn_gen.html , or search sn_gen.exe (Dont worry, the program is not translated that isn't a problem)
2. In the ??IMEI 1 field write your original imei address (behind the battery)
3. Click on ??MP0B_001?? - It will create a file on your desktop named MP0B_001.
4. Copy the file in your phone, Install Root Explorer, send the file in data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ and change the permission of the file (check all boxes)
5. Restart the phone.
Thats it ! This phone is very tricky to flash (or recover) , because of the chipset.. its very rare
I had a lot of problems to fix it, You have to use the right version of Sp flash tool !!!
Here is a russian forum with ALL the custom ROM's (including the official chinese) and support for this phone - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=657464 it helped me a lot!

Hey
Could someone tell me what to do? I flashed a rom and recovery via Sp Tool (not from this guide) on my S8 A7600. It was a custom rom with removed bloatware I found on a Russian site (google translate).
Now I find that my baseband is unknown and no IMEI's either. I didn't notice this in the beginning though, I did root the phone first and cleaned up even further with Titanium Backup, including the default phone and
contact apps.
Don't know if this could have had an impact or not, but my impression is that it has to do with modem driver, which might be a different one (it seems the custom rom was built from chinese rom). Both scatter files (rom and recovery) does not seem to touch the nvram area, although this mtk flashing stuff is completely new to me.
Have any tips? This chipset is new for IMEI repair, so is unsupported from what I gather.

I flashed another rom I found and the IMEI came back, hurray :laugh:
Good to know its not some permanent lame fault the mtk engineers would have missed (unlikely). Well now back to customizing romz, the default lenovo rom is far from what I consider usable.

Actually I think I said that wrong. I am now using this rom: VIBEUI_V2.5_ _USR_ST1524_5.1460.1_1506111858_MP6V3_CU_CN_otafull
This is the latest official stock rom directly from Lenovo. I was referring to one of the rom's that's flashed by those shabby vendors, full of adware, malware and viruses.
I was not aware of this situation as this is my first china phone.
To Op: No I did not use your Rom. I've tried a few others and the *Real* stock ota rom from lenovo was the best for me, also the latest stable build. I found it here btw: lenovo-forums.ru(can't post full link)
Also I'm looking for this: A7600_TWRP2.8.7.0_2015-07-18.7z <--- This is the only recovery I've found that has english language. It was posted on 4pda.ru but link is down. Also seen it on those chinese sites, but requires account to download.

My Suggestion would be: Download and try my Rom and Recovery. Then download SuperSu/.Zip and try to flash it via Chinese TWRP which i am providing. you can locate the buttons from any other TWRP, even from other phones. If done, you could et root uininstaller and remove the crappy bloatware like i did. then install gapps

I already have chinese TWRP, and I'm rooted. The rom I'm using also does not have any insidious bloatware, except a few chinese apps that don't even require root to remove. Besides I seem to remember the system.img file in your rom was corrupt, tried to download several times.
Just saw this at 4pda.ru:
Port of K3 Note VIBE 2.8 1530 A7600 5.1】 【07/15/25
Download: yadi.sk/d/ULLundAAi5dk6

Will upload the File again, sorry to hear that.

where do you download the latest firmware?this phone doesn t have ota?no need to use flash tool if it s the case..you can root it easily with an apk
so i don t understand you manip

Mine was really hard to root, none of Kinroot or any other tool/app worked.

so could you say use what did you use for rooting it?
i just to order one so i would like to erase all chinese apk
are you happy with this phone?

Like I said, the Rom provided here is Pre Rooted and has TWRP included. With twrp you can root any rom, but seems like the file is corrupt so ill have to upload it again as soon as i get home

New full firmware package available: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5Lqys5p5m_YU2xxZ3d4T0V5WjA
VIBEUI_V2.5_1532_5.1797.1_ST_A7600_CU
I got this as ota update yesterday, on official lenovo rom. Btw, this needs to be flashed with stock recovery (rename file as "update.zip")
Actually, you can flash it with TWRP/custom recovery, just tried it
Also, you should flash Gapps after the initial boot and setup, or it may cause problems.
Here is also the TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery with English language: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5Lqys5p5m_YR0VfSXFPZ0RIZEk
The new firmware is good. So far I've noticed it has solved a big bug with launcher. Previously I could not use widgets with 3rd party launcher (settings fc), now I can.
The launcher bug is still present, but not with Google Now Launcher when flashed with gapps.
PS: Is it ok for me to post this here? Perhaps better to make new thread?

Aosp rom
I found what seems to be a recent AOSP based rom: A7600-ZP-15.08.06.zip
Though only so far seen it on Chinese sites, like this: http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=1393301215&shareid=1110457716&third=0
Don't think I will bother getting account for that, but just letting you know.

Man thank you! If you could download this and pack it in one zip, upload it on your google drive and test it again we could privide yours! Because i sold mine so i cajt test it. Else im still ready to upload it

Install Google Play Services on Chinese Phone (Gree G0215D)

Hi there,
I received a Gree G2015D Phone as a gift from a Chinese friend. (Here is a Russian Site showing the phone)
It comes with a 6.0.1 based Rom but without google play services installed.
There are a lot of guides how this can be done for Xiaomi and other more popular Chinese brands, but outside of China Gree seems to be mostly unknown.
Reading through various guides for other phones I tried several of the procedures described there.
They all more or less involve either using a installer app that downloads the needed components (e.g. this one: http://xiaomininja.com/download/google-app-installer-file-download/) or manually downloading the needed components (e.g. from APKmirror.com).
I always ended up with varying versions of the following components:
Google Account Manager
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Google Calendar Sync
Google Contacts Sync
Google Play Store
With the newest versions from APKMirror the Play Store just closed immediately and through the settings the "Add Account" Button was unresponsive. I couldn't get to a point where I would enter my google account.
With an older Version of Account Manager (4.0.x) I at one point managed to register a google account. After that the Play store would open but it would remain blank. Nothing would load.
I went through all the permissions menus and made sure that the google apps had all permissions I could give them.
Also restarting after every app install and deleting app data didn't help to solve the issue.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a custom recovery for the phone (neither CWM nor TWRP) which would let me flash openGAPPS or the like.
Also I didn't find a way to root the phone so that I could manually push the files to the system partitions.
Does anybody have an Idea what I could try? I will try ANYTHING I would really like to use the phone but without google play its just not feasible for me.
Looking forward to any hints!
Thanks in advance!

I have the exact same phone...and the same problem. I'm thinking if its possible to flash this thing to a vanilla android, however I fear I'd have to cook the rom myself....and somehow unlock the bootloader first. If anybody could lend me some assistance on this, it would be great. The phone really isn't bad...and it would be a shame to have it lying around as a paperweight on account of it being completely chinese

Glad to no longer be alone with this problem
I think unlocking the bootloader can be done in the developer settings of the rom. I don't have the phone with me currently so I can't tell you where exactly I've seen this option.
However I don't think we would necessarily need a vanilla rom to get google services on the device.
Maybe achieving root to push the apps to the system directory would already be enough?
Or a custom recovery to be able to flash gapps.?

Hi guys,
I also have this phone model, did you finally achieve to install the Google Play Store?
Thank you in advance.

Hey there...
Also have a GREE G0215D.
Has someone out there an idea to unlock the bootloader?
My chinese is no sooooo damn good, for this...
Only go to 2 Setup Screens by pressin Home + VolDown + Power or VolUp...
greetz

This phone ha damn good specs!
Have you enabled developer settings?
If yes, you'll find an option there to allow your bootloader to be unlocked.
Kingoroot can unlock all Qualcomm devices based on snapdragon chipset. It comes in two forms, an android app and a windows tool. Try your luck with this.
Reply with your result.

KingoRoot didn't work...
But in developer Option U can unlock bootloader, but push "enable" also didn't work.
Hope somebody can solve this...

New Update, German language and an open bootloader...
Lookin' forward for what's happen next...

url: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1jIoUaDw password: meet
The link include many things,like save brick,the lately rom and so on.

Hey before U write this, I killed the recovery.
Now I installed twrp 3.0.2.0 and this works.
But first I tried cm13 (the only DL that loaded 100%) and it doesn't work.
Restart into recovery...
Now I try to load original MIUI but baido killed all DLs this time.
Hope I'll get one for another try.
Or can You load to another filesharing system works better then the chinese one,
thx René

how to ? i can't root device , all fail.

SOLVED
Finally!
It took me a while to go through all the chinese forums, but I finally found a solution to root and install Gapps.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TUTORIAL:
First of all you need to download a package, but I need to make 10 posts to attach it: by the way you go on Mediafire and you can find it here: file/ocigw5icha135gf/Root_G0215D_Gree_Phone_2.zip
Then go through the following procedure
1) Remove screen lock from settings
2) Enable developer options
3) Go to developer options and unlock bootloader
4) Shut down the phone
5) Boot into fastboot (volume down + home + power)
6) Run 挂载TWRP Recovery.cmd it will boot into TWRP
7) Press on TWRP's install package (top left) with gapps (ARM64 for Android 6.0) and root (G0215D-ROOT-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip)
PS: I recommend flashing CM over the stock ROM: Gree Phone 2 has a great hardware, CM unleash its potentials.

Any of you know how to get it work with my phone card?
Thanks.

Galaxy S6 G920-F first Mod for return my phone to life

Hello to all.
I have this phone for a little longer than two years, the warranty has expired and now it's very slow and the battery will not last much longer.
I wanted to ask you if you can advise me the best rom for my phone, light and fast.
--- now i have Android 7.0 G920FXXU5EQCD ---
I would also like to ask if there is a way to keep all whatsapp chats, even archived ones.

First of all, you must root your phone!
So:
1. Install Odin http://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.10.6.zip
2. Install modded recovery / root https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-3.1.1-0-zeroflte.img.tar
2.1 See video https://youtu.be/p8uM3O85bJo
3. Download and install with recovery, in my opinion, SamStock ROM or Global Elite ROM v4

Thanks for the guidance dinamo1975. I followed these steps and have successfully rooted my SM-G920F using Odin/Twrp. Is there a modified ROM available for this phone (S6) based on LineageOS? If I've understood correctly these 2 ROMs are debloated stock ROMs. I've looked but couldn't find anything. Maybe there is no such thing?

Hey guys
i have installed ODIN and downloaded latest TWRP, but now? from video i don't understand what to do.. in RAR twrp folder there is an ISO image..

I used the you tube guide provided by usmanalitoo called "How to Root Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge Plus Nougat 7.0 Easily!"
Search for it. This message board prevents me from posting the URL because I am a "New User".
It has much more detail. It's a bit fast so I had to watch some sections several times to see what he was doing.
Make sure you've downloaded the latest version of Odin and Twrp. He shows how this is done.
He uses a file called Nougat_Root_SuperSu_No_kernel_included.zip which he downloads from MediaFire.
You have to read the URL for this download from the screen shot. It's a bit awkward. You end up with a fully
rooted phone with Twrp as the active recovery software so you are all set to install custom ROMs quite
easily. I should warn you that there is a marked shortage of ROMs for the S6, plenty for the S5 and for the
S7. For the S6 there seem to be very few. Why? I have no idea.
At 3.41 in the video, the first time he boots the phone into Twrp recovery mode I had problems. It did
not happen as smoothly as it does in the video. I had to reboot the phone MANY times and repeatedly
use the VOL-UP+POWER+HOME key combination before the phone reluctantly booted into Twrp.
You can see from the comments under the video that many people had the same issue. But it does
rectify itself eventually.
I may be able to help if you get stuck. Good luck.
