How to create a android update for not very well known device? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a SmartPhone from an not very well known brand and I want to make an android update for it (from 2.3.6 to 4.0)
I dont want to change anything (no custom theme and no custom apps) i only want to create an update.
Because (i think) nobody knows this device i dont know how to start.
Device: AT-AS43D
specs:
Qualcomm Snapdragon, MSM7227-1 Processor
Runs android 2.3.6 very few customized by the brand
Dual Sim
WCDMA/HSPA 850/1900/2100, GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
Flash Rom: 512MB
Ram: 512MB
Camera
Pixel 5MP Back, VGA Front
Zoom 4 times
Display
LCD 4.3inch 480*800 Pixels WVGA
Battery Li-ion accu 1500 mAh
and it has a 2gb micro sd card
Other questions?
Is ClockWork Recovery for every device?
(if no?) How is it possible to extract the stock rom without ClockWork?
I hope this is enough information
Kind regards,
Bas

I have made some progress, but I didn't have much time for it because of college.
Remember porting a new version of android can cost you a lot of time.
Sorry I can't help you much.

[Q] [Help] iPhone 5 clone root/rom

Hello,

Can some one help me with this i really need this to work !
Lol thats an improvement, an iPhone with android on it
I dont think many people have, or will have this phone ever, so unfortunately if you want anything done to it, you will probably have to do it yourself.
There are alot of threads on how to do everything you need.
You can extract your current rom, edit it however you want, then put it back

I will try to copy the rom and edit it etc. when im done i can upload it here so if someone else have the problem i have they just can get the rom.
Can you give me some useful links where i can read more? i guess there is some drivers that need to be copied.

As far as I know you have to make a nandroid backup, then there is some program that converts it into a flashable zip or something like that. Have you got CWM installed?
Search google how to make a backup of android rom and restore
Don't know

First off Its not a samsung. Second the N5 stands for a Nexus 5 which it is not.
You are out of luck on these devices. You will find almost no help here. Seldom is any work done on cheap Chinese knock off devices.

Hello, sorry to bother you with somewhat unrelated answer, but can you send me a backup of your current firmware? I've bought the same phone from chinese retailer, and it's firmware is modified for china - chinese appmarket is the worst And it doesn't even support google market - it crashes upon launch.
So, could you please send me a copy of your phone's firmware?
lenovo a269i
Hello
I have the same problem with lenovo a269i. I can't boot it after trying to install new rom.
Now it stuck on logo.
Phone only boot carliv's recovery.
Could you please make carliv's recovery (restore) files of your phone and send it to me or put a link?
maybe you have already installed android 4 on on your phone?
please help ... :crying:
I have a Lenovo A269i bought from here (now sold out):
lelong.com.my/lenovo-ideaphone-a269i-dual-sim-1ghz-processor-3-5-inch-satugadgetdotcom-142728589-2014-04-Sale-P.htm
Take a look. I believe it's already rooted and can also use the Play Store but I'm not sure since I only use it as a MiFi hotspot device. If it's the same phone as yours then I can help create a backup rom and post it here, provided you list down all the steps I need to do to create one using only free tools. Safely. I'm not risking my MiFi device.

Allwinner a10 unfit screen after custom Rom flash

Dear XDA Masters
Greetings
I have this tablet
Allwinner A-10 quad core processor with 1 GB DDR3 on board dedicated RAM.Comes with Android 4.0.3 ICS OS.It has got a 7 inch Retina IPS (Instant Plane Switching) with 5 point multi touch capacitive display
it got a SuperHD 7 inch Retina A quad core Maili 400 GPU.In built 3G module with single sim slot. 8 gb nand flash. 1024*600 resolution.
After trying with more than 30 Roms for jelly bean, now I flashed with a Rom which was made for 9.7 inch device. I have bellow problems
a. can not see the buttom of display, as well as home, back keys. I tried by lowering LCD value to 130 from build prop but no luck.
b. I can see only 4 gb of my 8 gb internal storage.
c. touch inverted(got solution in another thread)
my USB debugging on so I can modify this Rom even before flash. but I don't have the stock Rom.please kindly help. thanks a lot in advance.
in picture first one is my current display, second one is like it should be.

OK.. Firstly lets figure out what kind of tab you actually have, the A10 is a single Core SOC not quad core
so if it is truly a quad core it is most likely an A31 if it is Allwinner. Before Flashing Roms it would be best
to determine what SOC is in use first so once you have confirmed that we can work from there.
Thanks
Thanks for your kind reply. first when I connect to USB it says A10. but my reseller said a13. livesuit said invalid id for Roms made for a13. only this Rom (for A10) from modecom got flushed successfully. ww---w.modecom.eu/freetab_97011/tablety2/product/
then I used USB mouse, install cpv identifier, got a10. here is the uberizer snap for you too. again, as far I know, a10 doesn't have HDMI and Bluetooth, but in my device, there is HDMI port, though I didn't test. thanks again for your time..... I am so worried......

I claimed for warranty & now its ok. Actually what they said that the 'Scatter' file of Maximus-IX is not yet available in the Internet. We can find similar scatter files for few China phones, but those are of no use. I already Tried. Even I tried to create a Scatter file. Though it was created successfully but it was of no Use, As it is not the full description file for IX.
By the way, How you have rooted it???
Once I used a Chinese Rooting Software I was only partially successful....
So, plz share your findings...
Thank You,
