TESTED ON PANTECH SKY VEGA R3 aka IM-A850L
Dear All,
Pantech Sky Vega A850L is a great phone at an amazing price but unfortunately most of its help on the internet is in Vietnamese language. I have this phone running on Android 4.2.2 (using this guide you can change your Stock ROM to a Custom International ROM which will remove the 80 characters SMS Limit) and I wanted to update it to Kit Kat (4.4). There are many ROMs present here for this phone. I found a KitKat based Custom ROM with good rating here and thought of trying it.
This video also helped a lot. Though its not in English but from 1 minute and 20 seconds onwards it shows how to install a Custom ROM.
Your phone must be ROOTED. Follow this guide to root Pantech Sky Vega R3 aka IM-850L.

Hello sir,,
I am using Alcatel OT idol x+(TCL S960).
Everytime when i flashed the miui rom in my device with TWRP. It installed successfully.
But in file manager its showing 6.09 mb available only and at the same time in setting>storage its showing 4GB available.
Even its. Showing music libraray and gallary empty. I cant even take any image from camera.
I tried all the latest version which was available on their time.
5.5.19 & 5.5.22 & 5.5.29
All the versions hve the same problem.
I tried wipe internal storage also.
But its not worth it.

~ Quick First Note: If anyone's here from the Telegram Group, I'm Mark y'know.
~ This guide considers you have the latest MM 6.0.1 base
Step 1: Rooting your device

}
Rooting your phone will void your warranty, so if you wanna do this make sure you don't have any warranty for your device, or don't, because today nobody cares about warranty!
1. Go to autoroot.chainfire.eu and download the zeroflte version
2. Put your phone in download mode by: Turning it off, pressing Power + Home + Vol Down keys at the same time
3. If it asks for anything, which it should, press the Vol Up key
4. Make sure you have the drivers installed on your PC, if not, please, download them and install them
5. Plug your phone in your PC, I suggest using the original cable, just so y'know, nothing explodes
6. Download a program called Odin, make sure to download any that is V3+, but I recommend the latest
7. Open Odin, select the AP option on the side, and locate your file, usually called CF-Auto-Root-something.tar.md5
NOTICE! This will restore your recovery to Stock
8. Load the file and click start
9. Don't worry if your device reboots constantly a few times, and takes a little longer to boot, it's normal
10. Check if you have the SuperSU app installed, if yes, you're all good
Step 2: Flashing a custom Recovery
Flashing a custom recovery is the thing that's gonna make it possible to even flash anything
1. Go to http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...builded-thehacker911-android-6-0-1-g92xf.html and select wether you have the S6 or the edge
2. Do the same process as with the rooting process, though it will not automatically boot into the recovery, you have to do it yourself, but don't do it yet
Step 3: Unlocking your bootloader
You may be able to root your device and flash a custom recovery, but you aren't gonna be able to flash a custom ROM without unlocking your bootloader
1. Download the arter97 recovery, it's actually a modded TWRP, so it's gonna replace Philz, but you can always reflash Philz, because I heard that TWRP has some mounting issues, and your phone won't boot afterwards
2. Flash it the same way you flashed the CF-AutoRoot package and the Philz package
Step 4: Flashing a custom ROM
Before we flash, it's important that you consider your options. If you like performance, I'd recommend any Lite ROMs like: WanamLite and XtreStoLite. If you like to customize your device, I'd recommend OZOP, Griffin or CarHD. If you're a battery freak, try these: TN (Search on YanDisk) or Alexis.
1. Download the desired zip, also look if there's a second package, they'll often have these names in them: Update, Add-On, Aroma Add-On
2. Put the zip, or two zips in your Download folder in your Internal Storage
3. Power off your phone and boot in the recovery mode, do this by: Pressing Power + Home + Vol Up keys at the same time
4. When you're in the recovery mode, mount these partitions: Data, Cache, System
NOTICE! Don't mount the Internal Storage, or you'll erase your photos, downloads etc.
5. Select the option Clean to Install a new ROM
6. After that, locate your ROM, persumably in your Download folder, and select to install it
7. If nothing happens and you get a buttload of text displayed, that means your ROM is installing
8. If a graphical setup launches, that means the dev has considered to give you some options, choose wise
9. After the flash don't restart the phone if it prompts you
10. Wipe Cache and Dalvik/ART Cache, otherwise you might cause your phone to be in a softbrick state
I have a doubt, I always see G920F written in some things, but my device is G920I. Is there any problem I use anyway?
Here i ported one more ROM to Karbonn A16.
This time it is based on iOS.
removed all Stock icons and replaced them with iOS icons.
Boot logo and boot animation changed to iOS
smooth ROM
Pre Rooted but you have to flash latest SuperSU zip through CTR recovery.Download them from here
all Setting Menu everything is copy of iOS
DUAL SIM support
3G
Video call support also
Bugs:
The major bug is related to storage. actually script changed the whole device storage capacity to 90 GB and changed RAM size to 4GB those are showing in setting menu but in actual device storage and RAM sizes are same as product build 4GB ROM and 512MB RAM only.
