Hey everyone!
Recently i came across this pretty obscure device and i would like to know if there would be any way i could install a newer version of android on it, as its currently running Android 4.4.2.
Haven't been able to find much info surrounding this device, but i attached some photos of the info i was able to obtain from it.
Device Name: Myria 502M (Alps mr590)
Board: m601
SoC MediaTek MT8382
To replace existing Android OS ( here: upgrade ) that's what is required:
1. Phone's bootloader must be unlockable
2. A Custom Recovery matching the phone
3. A Custom ROM ( read: Android OS ) suitable to phone

Thanks for the info
But thing is, i wasn't able to find much info about this model of device, let alone see it on TWRP's list or find any custom rom available that weren't on really shady websites.
So i think im mostly out of luck

I want to install special Android version: Android 9 Pie GO because it has lower requirements 512 MB of RAM . My phone has 1GB of RAM but problem is I don't see option how to do that.
My phone: Medion E4503 doesn't seem to be supported on twrp website for making recovery point first. I don't see it under devices. I heard this phone may just be rebrand of Lenovo phone (dunno which one ) but I have no way of telling which Lenovo version may work if at all. And that is just pre- install part. Then I also don't see where to find custom ROM for this device. I only see bunch of other ROMs for other phones. I have Android 5.0 and banking application now require Android 6.0+ . I do not want to buy new phone just for that because I rarely use phone at all.
Hello.
I have a Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919) running on android 4.4.4. (I can give you more details if needed).
I need to install an application (EHTERAZ) which is a Qatari government application that only works on android version 6 and up (or IOS 13.5 and up).
Q: Is there a way to make the application work on my 4.4.4 android ?
Q: if not, how can I safely and easily upgrade my android to a newer version? (can you give me a full tutorial or video link)
Q: how to choose an android version that is most suited for my S4 that won't make it too slow or drain the battery too fast ?
Q: will I loose my files during this process ?
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.
It's the app developer who defines what Android version at minimum is required to run the app.
Upgrading Android requires phone's bootloader gets unlocked ( you lose all your data when doing this ), then a Custom Recovery ( what must be at 100% suitable to the phone ) gets flashed and finally via this Custom Rrcovery a Custom ROM ( what must be at 100% suitable to the phone ) gets flashed.
Hint: Add Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919 to front of this thread's title thus mainly owners of such a phone get addressed.

thank you for your reply jwoegerbauer. I'm not familiar with the terms you used (bootloader, flash, rom) so I'm not able to perform this by myself. Is there any tutorial or video you suggest I follow?
Greetings,
I succeeded in installing android 6 on my S4 and I made the application work fine.
I first installed twrp (twrp-2.8.7.0-jfltetmo.img) using Odin on my PC. I used twrp to wipe my stock system and to install the custom rom (cm-13.0-20161218-NIGHTLY-jfltetmo), in addition to Gapps (arm-6.0-pico).
As simple as that.
The latest twrp and the latest LineageOS that are (allegedly) compatible with my phone and listed in their official websites don't work on my phone, so I had to find older versions to make this happen.
Hey there,
I´ve had a Chuwi Hi8 lying in a drawer for years because I never had use for it. Now I would love to use it as a Dashboard for my Home-Assistant but that would require Android 5+.
I know that there are update for this Device around but all links on the official forums are dead and there are LOTS of shady sites when googling for updates to this device.
Ofc it is a far shot finding someone here that has experience with a stupid Device like this but hey, maybe I hit the jackpot
Moving from Android 4.4 to Android 5+ isn't an update but an upgrade.
To upgrade your phone's Android you need a
1. Custom Recovery
2. Custom ROM
both suitable to the phone.
If both found then you flash the Custom Recovery and if successful, you flash the Custom ROM by means of the Custom Recovery.
I wanted to install some Apps but they say not compatible and they require Android 8+
Is it possible to upgrade the Android on a Homecare HW-V8.
I can't even seem to find their website and when I goto System updates, is say's check Internet.
To upgrade Android you have to install a suitable Cutom ROM what is based on Android 8+: requires a matching Custom Recovery exists and device's bootloader is unlockable.
Long story short, my parent bought a fake Samsung S21 ultra or whatever.
It's running on Android 9, with 1gb of Ram and 16gb of ROM, but even the ROM is fake.
It's 8gb ROM and only 1.77gb of internal storage, once i switch them RAM and ROM to REAL value.
Told them to return it, but they don't care, so i just ask them to give it to me.
Now, i am trying to just i guess completely reinstall the phone with different OS, and people say LineageOS is the best one.
Currently i am stuck with unlocking the bootloader, because you need the TWRP of the device, and i don't know the "real" device of this fake android, and for whatever reason i cannot find the OEM unlock option on the developer options no matter what i do.
But i found a toolkit that show the device information
Device : W12+
Model : S21 Ultra
Brand : VIFONE
Android : 9.0
Firmware : LRX21M
Security Patch : 2021-10-05
I tried to find VIFONE twrp or boot image or whatever, and i just can't find one. So now i am stuck.
