Update my phablet BQ Elcano2 (MT8393) - General Topics

Hi everyone! This is my first post so..first of all I apologize for my grammar, I'm Spanish.
A few days ago I found at home a BQ phablet model Elcano 2 Quadcore. After charging and turning on the device I realized that it currently runs android 4.2.2. I managed to root my device so that I could update it to a more current version of android. The problem comes when I can't find any TWRP recovery or support on Lineage OS.
I have read that you can use the recovery of another device with the same specifications as mine but I have not found anything on the internet either.
Hope you can help me update my phablet. I don't need the latest version of android, by making my device useful I'm satisfied.
I downloaded the Aida64 application to know what processor I have:
MediaTek MT8389
4x ARM Cortex-A7 @ 1508MHz
1Gb Ram
32Gb ROM
7inch
Thanks dudes

First of all thanks for your reply.
Could you tell me how to do it or where to find it? It's the first time I've done something like this.
Thanks for your help

How dose it compare to the new haipai x710d mtk6577?
i found the star n9770 for 155 on aliexpress and the haipai for 175 on mixeshop,
dose the extra $$ for haipai worths it?
I also want to know benchmarks of this CPU. Is is comparable to dualcores from qualcomm/nvidia? Id like the Zop Zp300 to have this CPU

strange that the antutu benchmark only shows 1000mhz as the max clock speed of the CPU. Shouldn't it be 1,2?

Hey. I ordered mine from the same site I had to wait 5 days for the item to come into stock..but when it shipped it arrived within 24 hours. The software shows its 4.0.9 and it comes with google play. So far ive managed to install many popular games such as shadowgun and it runs without a hitch. The only problem i have come across so far is that my head candy headphones dont fit in the audio jack

Well its a good thing to know someone on the forum has actually physically got the set.
Its a new one for you, but do you by any chance plan on to do the rooting and customization of ROM/mods as mentioned on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646544&page=140
I know the thread is for HaiPad MTK6575 i9220....however I guess all of us are waiting for any real proof that the mods are working on the MTK6577 version as well ....
So if by chance you plan on doing anything, then please do post the results over here...would be a great help for the guys like me who are waiting to order this set.
Thanks.
I have been looking around for confirmed rooting techniques but haven't come across any yet.
I am really impressed by the speed and responsiveness of the phone so far.

The custom base on the CWM 5.5.0.4 and correct the fs.tab (MTK6575 / MTK6577 partition number different !)
installation steps
1) flash the custom recovery with "Flash tool" (select the recovery image only in flash tool)
2) keep the volume-up / power button together around 15sec , into the recovery mode
2-1) wipe data/factory reset
2-2) wipe the cache partition
2-3) advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
2-4) install zip from sdcard -> choice the zip from sdcard -> get the correct zip file and press the power button for starting
2-5) reboot system now !
3) Finished !
Have some body know, How about the process for "factory reset" in Official ROM ???
This action should be have some script for it ,right ??? Which / Where is this script ???
Due to Haipai-x710d / STAR-N9770 will kill the /sdcard and /NVRAM partition during "factory reset" , so I think ,maybe the script mistake !!!

That doesn't work. Either you flash an entire (already rooted) firmware, OR you can extract the bootimage from the update.zip, use the Scatter file for flashing the custom recovery and ONLY(!!!!!!) flash the boot image.
And here's a little warning: A factory reset will KILL the phones (both, x710d and N9770) IMEIs!
But if that happens, they can be recovered
I made little "review" videos of these phones to be found on youtube or my blog

[Q] ip330tv rom above android 2.3

Hi to everyone first post here so i hope this is the right session anyway:
i've bought this mentioned trevi ip 330tv:
it's supposed to be an arm cortex a9 with 512mb of ram, i'm trying to understand if this is just a rebrand of some chinese/international model in order to find a newer rom (currently it's running android 2.3).
i've linked what the datasheet trevi produce on its site hoping someone may be able to recognize it from the picture.
ps: yes data sheet say it's a cortex a8 but it's wrong probably they planned to release it with a8 and then they move to a9 without update the manuals.
any other kind of advice on this kind of device it's welcome, i'm aware that a lot of this device share same hardware so i hope that someone can point me to a good rom even if not really intended for this specific device.
thank you in advance

[REQUEST] ROMS for Gigabyte phones

Hello Guys,
I recently bought a Gigabyte Gsmart Arty A3, its a very nice phone for the price.
Chipset Mediatek MT6582
CPU Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7
GPU Mali-400MP2
I just rooted it and have been looking around for a custom ROM to install but there aren't any available!!! anywhere!!!
incidently Gigabyte doesn't come up in the device search on this forum!
So please pay attention to Gigabyte as its a great company which makes great phones that too for cheap.
Anything, even AOSP ROMS will be great.:laugh:
Yep, that's a pretty cool device for being low-cost. But this is probably the wrong thread, to ask this. You can try to submit a request for a new device forum or use the low activity device forum and start a thread, getting yous hand dirty in the process...

Your biggest hurdle is that they almost never release kernel source for the device. So that best you can hope for are some alpha ported roms that may or may not work

You could but depending on Tue country the device comes from it might be pointless. Request it from the OEM..they will most likely say they don't have it as they just import and rebrand the device.

[Completed] [HELP] How to Root ALCATEL FLASH 2

Hi,
First i would like to give thanks to all the information on this site, so i decided to create an account here to try and share too.
It just happened that I've bought a cool smartphone and tried to Root it, Luckily it went not successful haha my bad.
I've tried using almost all the One Click Rooting Apps (apk) available on here. So I Guess after what I've done with my powers I should ask for a SOS.
infos:
Released on September 2015

5.0", 720x1280 pixels
13MP, 1080p

Is it because of the Lollipop v5.1 why I can't root it?? and if i use a computer base rooting will i hurt my Phone?
Thanks for those who will help.

I've used Kingroots latest Version so far, Until Kingroot updates its database I guess we have to wait.
Anyway I will keep on trying to gain something too and to Help Others that meets same problem as mine.

Hi sir, Thanks for the link, I've found a Rooting process there but i can't post a Link in here (yet). I'm just afraid to try it because of complicated process, it might cause a Bootloop if done anything wrong.

Intel Atom x86 SOC, how hard is it to load rom from a different atom z25xx device?

I am on a Asus trio tx201la INTEL x86 tablet on android 4.2 on the tablet part. I researched that The zenfone 5, dell venue 7 and the samsung galaxy tab 3 10.1. All have the same intel atom z2560 cpu soc and some are running Android 7 & even 8 now.
The Galaxy tab 3, zenphone 5 got a lot more attention and thus a lot more custom rom attention. Dell venue and my Trio got little to no attention due to poorer sales.
The galaxy tab 3 has been updated to 7.1.1 see:
http://techbeasts.com/install-android-711-nougat-galaxy-tab-3-101-lineageos-141/
Now How can that help the Trio? I found this tool, but no flash.xml so no luck using it:
https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite
Here is a guide on how to use it: http://www.aryk.tech/2016/04/how-to-flash-stock-firmware-using-intel.html?m=0
This is all NEW as of 2017. So its not been available before this.
The TX201LAF a french tablet version of the TX201LA is in the same boat but it at least it is on 4.4. Its kernel firmware is here: http://support.asus.com.cn/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=TX201LAF&p=3&s=587
My big question is with all these roms for x86 atom z2560 & z2580 soc's shouldn't I be able to get an updated rom somehow? I imagine that would involve building a rom myself but if the base soc is the same isnt it possible to build the rom for a different device and use a different kernel source like I linked above? The kernel source has the drivers I need right, for the device to run? Ive heard a lot of people talk about you wont get the touch panel to work or the wifi. I understand that but isnt it all loaded from the kernel source? So basically if I have kernel source and grab an updated rom from lineage 7 for the galaxy tab 10.1 and replace the kernal i'm good to go right? I know there is more to it but really looking for some help here?
Even if I can just get the tx201laf image to load on my tx201la that would be
something, its an update from 4.2 to 4.4. Both devices are identical, so that should make it a lot easier right? Looking for any insight to xda experts can provide.
Hi ! I'm still using my trio so I'm very interested ! Did you succeed ?
Thks a lot
no luck yet
I had hopes that this would turn out to work but you cant use the intel flash tool without a flash.xml which is written for the device. SO that stopped me dead in my tracks.
I recently found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/efidroid-t3447466/page37
Hoping this dev will give the tx201la a shot. There is also this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...g/tool-multirom-recovery-replacement-t3102395
Do you realize how simular the tx201la is to just about every zenphone made since the newest. IE almost all of those roms would likely boot on our tablet.
??
Any other input?

Anyway that lead me to this: https://cs5-3.4pda.to/10031052/20170404_145326.jpg?6c8bd0e99d5f5d5ce8c14e92c456565c
That might not mean much to many but its the TX201LA running the Asus memopad 10 android 4.2.2 and its actually working. So that is a huge deal.
Then I found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../rom-8-0-0-lineageos-15-0-unofficial-t3693838
There is a updated rom for the memopad 10. Now I hope I can get this rom to run with slight variations.. Will see..
