Hello everyone, my friend has this phone (Honor magic V and I would love to know if is it possible to port a rom from another phone with the same soc to this one, I once have ported rom from Mediatek to another Mediatek device but I have never tried porting on Snapdragon based device, can someone please enlighten me?
The main reason for this is to get Google services working on this device as I have searched everywhere for the way to install Google apps to no avail
Anyone?
To the best of my knowledge, it's not possible to install Google Play Services on that phone.

I have honor magic vs (chinese version sadly) its still on android 12 magic os 7 and cant install play store but for sure global rom(magic os 7.1 ) has gms integration possible. Now the problem is if chinese devices will get an update based on removal of global restrictions or not. chinese people don't use google for obvious reasons.
ping me if you have any update. I am also trying my seller to get international rom for mine.

I will, but I am losing hope as no one is willing to guide me on how it's done (the porting stuff) on snapdragon based soc, I have been doing it on mediatek but I am totally new to this snapdragon world

Hello everyone,
I read several forums, so I installed cpu-z to know on what mtk my phonewas running. Strangely I was on Exynos Octa 7420. So I put my phone in download mode, and appeared a Chinese menu (that's how I know I have a fake s6).
So I would like to know, is there a way to install a recovery and a rom on a phone like this ?!
PS: model number is sm-g920l on lollipop 5.0.2
I think you can try kingroot because supports a lot of smartphones, and if the root method works then you can try follow this guide for switching to supersu

i think its just fake info keep in mind they still can trick apps to show fake info if you want to root it without knowing what are you doing it may end up dead forever
I found that it's a mtk mobile. But my version (mt6735) is unrootable ... Any idea why ?!
Why so you even have a fake device? How about returning it for a real one?

There are a few root methods for this chipset, you need to make sure the bootloader is unlocked though 1st before trying. I had a quick google for root methods and did see a few possible working ones.
Hello Everyone!
I'm currently trying to decide whether to get the Honor Note 10, or the Xiaomi Mi Max 3. While the former clearly shows strength in terms of processing power, design etc., the later one has a major advantage in software due to it having treble support.
Hence, if I may ask to those of you who already have the phone, is the device treble enabled? I currently have my OnePlus 5 running Android Pie because of treble, and I would like to have my secondary phone be as flexible as well! I am highly aware that the bootloader unlock requires a paid service, but a few dollars for having barebones AOSP roms would be something I look forward to.
Thank you in advance to those who'll answer!

Yeah! So that it may be possible to flash GSI roms
Hi,
As Huawei doesn't allow to unlock the bootloader, you won't be able to install any GSI to it...
Some people report to have managed to unlock it with a paid option and to install TWRP.
But I am almost certain that even if they did and assuming a GSI will install and boot, you'll end up with a crippled device with features missing or not working...
I'd like to see that also but I think for now I'll stick to stock to no get stuck ,?

Well, maybe we could find workarounds for it... But I do understand your point with having incompatible roms.. I have bricked a device before because of it. But I hope someone knowledgable could look into this, especially those who work on the Honor 10 and Honor View 10 . Anyways, I guess I'll just try by myself, got my unit just today :fingers-crossed:
Is Note 10 a A only device?
currently i am using a OP3 rom without any google playstore and googel apps.
so possible to delete this all?
any link to this?
Hey !!!! There's nothing in an Exynos processor. Hardly you can find any mods for creating a change in its system... Hehe !!! Go for a Snapdragon wala phone...

You could try to flash the chinese firmware. No google apps there, and not Android One neither.
Question is, why would you even buy an Android One device if you don't like google apps?
It's basically made by google together with Moto, both software wise and hardware wise.

There's lots of exynos devices running custom roms so I don't know what you're talking about.
It's mostly samsung snapdraon devices that lacks development cause their bootloader is locked for most US carriers while european exynos models can be unlocked.
Good day,
I have a Vivo X30 Pro (V1938T), and I would like to know what custom ROM I can install to it, as I am not the biggest fan of the Chinese ROM.
The device is not Google Certified. I only found this out after I got the phone along with the Chinese only ROM. I can however still use the Play store and services fully. Is the certification a requirement for custom ROM?
Thank you in advance.

check your device if is compatible with project treble
I know that using unofficial ROMs and firmware is always risky, but I'm wondering if this is legit. I want to update my Vivo Y51A (unsupported) to at least Android 8 (Oreo), and this website claims to have all the supplies needed for that, but would they actually work?

Edit: So it seems that the rooting apps suggested could be dubious. What alternatives (noob-friendly and free) can I use instead, if the rest of this is legit?
Thank you in advance!
Note: I am a noob, please make your answer noob-friendly
It's 11 o'clock at night, do you know where your firmware is?
If there was even the slightest doubt I wouldn't touch it... actions have consequences.

hehe true dont worry im getting help or at least trying to *oof*
Hopefully someone here knows about this variant or has a better plan for you.
My POV: rooting a phone or replacing the stock rom with a custom rom has become a pointless popular sport. At the end of the day, no better device comes out than the one you bought.
To be on the safe side only use rooting tools / custom recoveries / custom ROMs authored by non-chinese people and introduced and provided here on XDA.

Yes I really want a plan apparently LineageOS doesn't have anything for Vivo phones so I need an alternative.

Maybe a better question is why do you want to root it?
