Hi,
I can't seem to find any custom recovery for gionee f205 with mt6739 chipset. So I tried porting similar mt6739 unofficial twrp img but it is also not working. Any custom recovery would be alright. Please help

You has experience flashing Custom Recoveries?
Share all specs from your device and let me know how you tried Porting.
Maybe need this? Gionee F205 / F205 Pro DA & Auth
Thanks, I have zero experience and have only started. I have already ported the custom recovery to my device using carliv image kitchen tool from here. The TWRP custom recovery is working perfectly but I can't confirm it as I have been searching for a week for a custom ROM(Oreo or later) to flash for my gionee F205(nougat) and can't find one. I have started trying to port the stock ROM of GIONEE F205 PRO which is Oreo and also treble enabled. Both have little differences but the same chipset(MT6739). But as of now nothing has worked. Could you help with that?
Or is there any custom ROM I can flash? Can I port from this non-treble device to an treble enabled ROM.
Also I tried Flashing the Stock rom of F205 pro excluding the Preloader using SP Flash Tools. But it return a error "PMT changed for ROM, it must be downloaded". So I tried to format except the bootloader and it too returns an error "ERROR : STATUS_SEC_WRITE_DATA_NOT_ALLOWED(0XC002000C).

You not need Custom ROM to test Custom Recovery. Now you need confirm that your file work good as you confusing here: "The TWRP custom recovery is working perfectly but I can't confirm it as.."
If you know that your TWRP work "perfectly" so the "issue" SOLVED. LOL
About Custom ROMs MT6739 stock Nougat:
I did a quick search in some places I know and the news is not good. I didn't really see any custom ROM for MT6739 with Nougat kernel.
Without a kernel upgraded to Android 8.1 you will not have much chance of installing the GSI ROM.
It is not just installing the stock ROM of another similar device or of the same company! It is about something that will take time and may have many errors to correct because companies that sell MTK devices do not provide all Source Code files to make a new kernel. So you can usually even ask someone with experience to do something, but without the full Source Code, then the chances are -100%.
So you can even have a Custom ROM from another MT6739 as long as it is with the Nougat kernel. Obviously there will be items to be solved for your device or suddenly not. As I have not seen any MT6739 Nougat with Custom ROM, then I cannot help further in this context.
If I had an MT6739 with Nougat then I would look at some MT6737 with Nougat because there are a lot of Custom ROMs for these. But remember that the MT6739 can have 32 bits (arm) or 64 bits (arm64) and that will influence something.
I myself have a 64-bit Nougat MT6737T that has RRMix Oreo 8.1 and works great!
So everything will depend on you and your time to do the PORT and the necessary tests because it will be a learning experience for yourself!
Good Lucky!

Hello,
I am a beginner at android development.
I have a Lenovo tab 2 a7 10f which was, actually given by my coaching institute with a KitKat rom installed in it which, i guess was with system app of them.Whenever anyone would open it, it would turn on with a screen if the app only.With my current knowledge, system app can only be deleted by flashing a new rom or by rooting the rom(what could i do by roiting if it turns on to that app only!). Now,I wanted to flash a firmware of KitKat, either by recovery or by SPF tools.
1. I tried recovery and then rom method, after installing adb and fastboot drivers and Lenovo usb and that 15 second driver, adb devices didn't show up(It showed up on any other device )
2.I tried Spf tools method ; it also didnt work
To my curiosity:angel:, in the stock recovery, it showed the option of flashing an update through adb sideload.
I tried and it showed up like
Xxxxxxxxxx.... sideload
I read the xda forums and found that to install a custom or stock lollipop rom a minimal mod has to be made using SPF tools.
NOW
what i need is KitKat recovery flashable stock or custom rom because there are lollipop ROMs everywhere.If it is already available, please send me link or if any guy has a KitKat rom and knows how to make a flashable zip of it, please upload.
This thread will be useful for many people having the same problem.
Regards,
Spartan the boy
even i got this same tablet from a coaching institute their name is professional academy for cpt
Can I install ROM from Cool1 on LeRee Le3? I was looking for custom rom for LeRee Le3 and I didn't find. This phone works very slow on stock ROM. I have Letv X526 with the same parameters and it works fastly.

No one who didn´t try can answer you for sure.
As a rule No 1 you can´t flash a rom from other device onto a similar not even almost identical device.
Stock roms contains critical files from sensitive partitions that can perma-brick your device but with custom roms could be slightly different although a kernel from other device can soft/hard brick yours.
Despite you could install it you may expect a lot of issues cause it was builded for other device.
Said that if you want to take the risk you need to do the next before:
- Backup most important data.
- Download a stock/factory rom for your device if you need to restore it.
- Unlock bootloader.
- If you are going to flash a stock rom, flash only system, userdata partitions and the boot image you need to port it and keep the same kernel to avoid brick it.
Best you can do is search for a custom rom from a similar device and learn/read and try to port it for your device at least in the case that you can´t build it from the source for various reasons..

Yes you can
I have the Samsung model number gt-p7500R. It's gotten very very slow and I can't update past android 4.0.4. I can't even get most apps because of the Android version. How can I update to a newer android version and maybe help the speed a bit?
Find a Custom Recovery ( like CWM and /or TWRP ) and find a Custom Rom, both suitable to the phone.
Once both found, flash the Custom Recovery and if successful then from within the Custom Recovery flash the Custom ROM.

When I'm in stock rom, auto rotation, auto brightness & sim card doesn't work. Maybe sensor problem.
But when I use custom rom , they works perfectly. I searched on internet and found that sensors are related to persist.img . So can I flash persist.img of custom rom on the stock one? Custom rom is android 10 & stock is 8.0.

This doesn't make sense. Have you tried flashing stock rom the official way? Perhaps you missed something.

Obviously! My device is moto e5. I used "Rescue & smart assistant tool" from official lenovo website(Motorola was owned by lenovo). That tool detected my device in fastboot & downloaded the official firmware automatically, also flashed it. Before using that tool , stock ROM was fine. Actually I used it to go back to stock condition. So I lost my first ROM(Sensor working one), and there is no way to get it back.
I also tried clean flash(By wiping the system, vendor,data etc. & trying again). That didn't help. Then I tried flashing the ROM with commands in platform tools. Still that issue.
This device is 2 GB ram. So lenovo people don't care. But It's my daily driver (As I'm 14)

Have you tried this custom rom?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-rom-for-moto-e5-play-james-xt1921-5.3806530/
If it works on this custom rom as intended, I would say it is a pretty good guess that this ROM persist image would be compatible with your original version of the stock rom.

That stock ROM will hard brick my device. Because that's for "play" variant. And my model number is XT1944-6 (Rare one). But yeah, I will download the stock ROM from outside the official tool. Thanks for the idea. But 1 question, can I flash rom of another build number? Because in internet, my device's stock ROM build number has 3 at last. But my build number's last digit is 6.
