Custom ROM for Wiko View 2 Plus

Hello forum folks,
I am a newbie to this forum. My only experience is putting a custom ROM on ar phone, so I knew a few basics.
I have a few questions about one device... Wiko View 2 Plus.
Because this phone is not too old there are no custom ROM's available. When do custom ROM's usually start to appear for less popular devices like this one? Do they appear at all?
Also, it I tried to boot into bootloader/fastboot. It seems to be blocked on this device. I tried a few methods from the internet to unlock it, (yes, my OEM is unlocked, USB debugging is on, etc.) but I did not succeed to enter this mode at all. I even replaced the new update by installing an older firmware version. But it didn't change things.
Since this is not possible, I have another question. Can one modify the original ROM (which extracts during the WIKO setup to set back the device to facotry reset) an make this ROM custom? And then install this custom ROM with the official setup?
Can you also modify a downloaded android update before installing it?
Thanks in advance.

Bump

Have you found a solution?
I can't find a good twrp for the Wiko View 2 Pro, any idea?

Hi everyone, I want to request the firmware for mtk device Alps TS-M704A stock firmware if anyone has it. I have accidentally bricked my stated tablet. TIA

hi everyone, I have the same tablet ALPS TS-M704A device, the same thing happened to me, noticing the mt6582 chip, I managed to save the data from MTK droid tools, I was able to root with https: // kingroot-pc.it.uptodown.com/windows, I installed twrp but now backup and system is all deleted ...

Increase storage space in the root directory for adding and editing system files

I would like to increase the storage space in the root location of my phone. I have rooted my phone with magisk.

Yes, you can repartition the /system partition. Not only is it quite difficult and risky to perform it, it also requires specialized skills which the average user may not have. There is one solution to the problem though: Flash a Custom ROM.

I would love to flash a custom ROM but can't find any for my device. I have an Infinix smart 5 (x657c for the model)

Even a Custom Recovery like TWRP actually isn't available for this phone.
But you can try to make it at your own because phone is based on Mediatek chiset:

Due to the unpopularity of Infinix (&Tecno) phones, there's no custom ROM available for your device. Nevertheless, you should absolutely be able to flash GSIs [I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS, ONLY SUGGESTING!], because I'm sure that device is Treble-supported.
There're tons of very similar Infinix phones (Smart 4, Hot 8, Hot 9 & 10 Play) that have GSIs successful installed, you can check them out on YouTube.

Bricked Unihertz Atom - Strange screen [Help]

Hello all,
this morning I wanted to get my Unihertz Atom (the very small one from 2018) ready for the vacations. The phone was in the drawer since the end of 2019 and when I turned it on today it was stuck in a bootloop. I tried to reset it via the recovery, but this brought no success.
Via Fastboot I played the Stockrom back to the individual partitions (and i think that was a stupid idea).
So as described in the scatter file for each partition
Code:
$ fastboot flash system ./system.img
Now I am stuck in a new Error with many colored pixels (see attached picture). Every now and then the phone makes a noise and it mounts as a removable disk (but nothing can be written on it). And I can't reach the phone via Fastboot or ADB either.
Now I'm really at a loss as I don't even know how to even name my error to look for a solution.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get back into fastboot mode or even restore the whole OS? (Only have access to an Ubunutu system for the next few days).
Thanks a lot
Daniel

Flash stock rom from here and follow instructions.

I actually am in this exact situation BECAUSE I followed the above instuctions. I used SP Tool v5.2216.00 and stock rom 20180625_8.1.0.
Daniel, did you find a solution?

Daniel, I was able to get a hold of another stock ROM newer than the one in the guide above. I used the link in the below guide. When you click on the download for the stock ROM it takes you to a google drive request. I just put in that I wanted to download the Unihertz Atom Stock ROM and this morning I had access. I am guessing this is the official Unihertz account as it has all the Unihertz models and multiple ROMs for each and instructions on how to flash. I initially flashed an Android 8 then a 9 but it had some chinese overlay on it. So I am still trying to nail down the exact one for the US market but bottom line is it is functional again. Hope this helps and good luck!

A really hard brick problem [SOLVED]

Hi, guys, I am really needing help.
I have bougth a chinese android tablet model tb128fu. I was worried with the safety of the tablet's ROM, I was suspecting it was a shop ROM. So, I downloaded LMSA (Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant) to flash an another ROM (even I have read in LMSA app that flashing ROM mustn't be done in chinese devices - I was very stupid) and it bricked my tablet. Tablet entered into a reboot mode loop: any chosen option was conducting to lenovo's logo and, after it, reboot menu again.
I have posted a question about it here in forum and people suggested to use ROM2box app. I tried to use it and I think it would solve my problem, but during ROM flashing in ROM2box my pc turned off (due to a residencial blackout) and now my tablet is completely died. VOL UP and DOWN and power off buttons are not working, and the screen doesn't show anything, in any situation (even during battery charging).
Please, help me!!! I think I have lost my tablet.
In PC's devices manager tablet is showed as Qualcoom HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). Does it help anything to solve my problem?
I have also tried to flash some chinese ROM in tablet using QFIL, but all times it shows the follow error:
"Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Failrocess fail"
I am thankful anyway. Thank you for your attention.

Re-flash tablets Stock ROM.
BTW:
Tablet isn't hardbricked but softbricked, IMO
With the "hardbrick" usually a part of the low-level firmware is damaged, e.g. the bootloader, the "radio firmware" or other firmware, which is necessary for the operation of the SoC (System-on-Chip). To re-install this firmware, special hardware (usually JTAG) is required, as well as expert knowledge and corresponding image files are often not publicly available (at least not officially). It's like "shooting" the BIOS/EFI on a PC.
With a "softbrick," only the operating system is damaged, e.g. the Android kernel or the system libraries. You can reflash the device.

Ah, ok. I am really sorry for my mistake. It's clear now what is the difference between hard and soft brick.
May you help me to reflash my device? I have no idea how to do that.
Thank you for you reply

I might try the website linked below -- there's also a "How to Flash" tutorial step-by-step guide in the page
DISCLAIMER: I am not completely sure if it will help or make this worse! Being that your device is a Chinese variant and you've already bricked it messing with it because it is that variant, there's no guarantee the files and steps below will do any better or not make things worse.
