I don't know which is the stock rom of this phone. I was informed that this phone is a Leioa Vapio summlux h1, but that it looks like some kind of Chinese clone. Do you know where I can find its stock ROM? I've searched and couldn't find it.

Hmm, never heard of this phone, do a search on the internet.
Why open a new thread when:

That thread was more about finding the model, no one could find the ROM and the thread almost died while I was waiting for an answer.
But I just said I already did a search.

[Q] Root Blu Products Vivo 4.3

Does anyone knows how to root a Vivo 4.3 phone from Blu Products?
It came with Android 4.0.4
Regards
I just did some digging around on Google and I didn't see any development information regarding that handset. The trouble with the low-end phones/legacy devices/no-name brands is they don't see the mainstream and most developers don't even notice or care that they are there.
I've been doing some research to buy one of these cheap dual core dual sim phones. This has an MT6577 chipset and if I'm not mistaken there are quite a number of MT6577 phones which have been rooted. So I would imagine that this can be rooted, its just that there isn't any great interest surrounding it yet.
I just bought this device and looked all over but couldn't find a way to root it and to get things worse i live in brazil and this phone was not set to the brazilian phone numbers format.

This may be a begining. Do you know any ICS dual sim MT6577 that have been successfully rooted?

The phone don't have an update option on the About menu, like other devices, and I don't really see any developer working on this device, so I really doubt we'll see Jelly Bean on this phone

There are no methods for D72510d and I have already tried ioROOT, PurpleDrake, and Stump Root. They all say unsupported device or some other error. I don't understand how other people have done it.
Maybe my software is too new?
Any ideas?

How to find code name of device? And compatibility question.

How do you find the code name of your device? Ex. d2att for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Also, I think (tell me if I'm wrong) that the phones I'm looking at from Wind Mobile work with T-Mobile phones. If this is true, does that mean a ROM in the T-Mobile forum that doesn't list the exact model number of the Wind Mobile phone (ex. if it listed SM-G920T but didn't list SM-G920W8) will still work with that ROM?

unfortunately i cant answer that, but i can comment on it.
there are a small amount of phones that you can flash a rom that wasnt specifically made for it, but if you cant find proof before trying, there is a real risk of permanent brick if your wrong.
take the g3 for instance (only because i know about this device),
you can take a vzw g3 and use it on tmo, but you can not flash a tmo rom on it because it is a vzw phone.
if your just talking about a rom, and not actual stock firmware, the risk of issues is still there, but generally, more likely fixable because its not flashing key partitions that could render your device unfixable.
i am in no way suggesting you try it, only because if it bricks the phone i dont want to be responsible, but if it were me, and i had a backup to restore the phone, and stock files to flash if need be, i would try it. but you would have to be in a position to buy a new phone if things go terribly wrong. if not, then i wouldnt do it.

I'm not sure if we have the same understanding. I mean just like how the Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 can flash AT&T ROMs, I'm wondering if that would be the same for Wind Mobile flashing T-Mobile ROMs even if the model number is not exactly the same (ex. flashing a SM-G920T ROM on a SM-G920W8).
And yeah, I'm talking about flashing an AOSP ROM rather than stock firmware ROM (TouchWiz, Sense, Etc).

maybe you will get some help if you ask in the specific device forum q&a of the devices you need info about. usually thats the best place to ask questions if the device specific forums exist for your models.

yea go for it. maybe stagger your post a bit though. dont throw them all in at once.
Canadian here. All T-Mobile ROMs will work on our Canadian owned S6s. Sometimes an extra custom kernel needs to be flashed, but they will work.
Also, try going to download.cyanogenmod.com to search for your device, then you will see the codename at the end of all nightly zip filenames.
Good luck.

Flashing global ROM on to a Chinese model?

Hi guys, has anyone flashed a Chinese version of a phone with a global ROM. I have a Vivo Nex Dual Display but everything is in Chinese. Just wondering if it was possible to flash a global ROM on there. I don't even know if the bootloader is unlocked etc because everything is in Chinese.

Personally I did that on my OnePlus 8, but you're posting your question on the wrong section, next time be careful on that.
Just find out it's not possible for Vivo phones:

"I asked Vivo about firmware change. They said it is not possible, if I want to have firmware from India I have to buy phone in India, phones from China can have only Chinese firmware"

Thanks for the new link, that's working and I guess you can't flash Vivo. Some people are giving solutions but it's not as simple as just flashing a new ROM.
