try the Russian site, it's like XDA, but with Russian language, use Google translate if you didn't understand the language

have you tried searching for it? or even use google and normally the first result would be the one you asked for..
type XTreme or whatever the name of the rom is and type xda at the end and you should find it...or just use the search button in the forum of original development
I already search and found it both in google and XDA. The problem is in google most forum link to the thread in XDA and the download link not working. Only base rom worked because it have link to multiupload.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141201 here the link.
sorryfor my english again.
try this multiupload link
http://www.multiupload.com/1CUHJ1TU55
I found it on post #2 where you can see "MIRRORS HERE" written in blue and below is this link-"www.TouchX.eu - always latest files (THX CSCicus)".You hit the link and get a whole heap of mirror links including the one I gave you.
Yes, I saw that and already downloaded but only the base rom in multiupload. I can't download the less of it. Acually I just want only sp1.
Yeah true.It says that the sp packs are on post #5 but if you have a look you can see that they have been takin off for some reason.I found a French site with the SP1 pack,dont speak French,but it had a link.All the links to the ROMs and SP packs where also down.Seems that the ROM is not being supported for some strange reason and most links cut.I see the thread is also closed
You could send a PM to someone from the thread and ask nicely if they could send you it or help locate a copy.Surely someone from there still has it on their PC or phone.

Thanks for the link...wow, pretty hard to understand the google translation to english for that page. Also, wasn't able to figure out how to download the recovery.exe referenced in the post (it says something about guests needing to leave a post to access the file, which when clicked seems to do nothing).

and im tired of dealing with chinese OS on my phone,
i might use paranoid android or something but if i can't root . than im doomed..
There's a working root thread for the R5 over on OppoForums, check that out if you're still interested in rooting. This won't get you an alternate ROM at the moment, but at least it's root!

You will have to try a very infamous workaround. There is an app on the MIUI Google Play Store. I forgot what's it called. But get it and it will download all the apps.

Dude read two posts above you..
On the Phone:
Whatever the ROM, root it.
UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER
Install TWRP
On the PC:
go to Need (dot) rom
download the CWM
From your TWRP or through your device, FLASH CWM
Put the ROM on the SD card and flash it through CWM.
Hope that helps.
Success!!!…But random MAC assign to WIFI.
Please any one can help...
Is this the most updated Version of Android or CyanogenMod you can get for your K900 ?
I am looking for the newest possible OS of Android or CM which does work on the K900. Any insight on that topic will be greatly appriciated.
Thanks for any information in advance

Hi @X0LARIUM ..
First, i want to thank you for the info..
i wanna play Brown Farm (LINE) and the minimum requirement was 4.4..
after a long search & efforts..This is the only available i could find..all thanks to you..
i have spent so many hours just to instal and finally it works!!!
very smooth, clean and light!! No bloatwares & unimportant apps..
Unfortunately, there is no Google Apps (Play Store especially)
i did google search and found the latest APK..
but everytime i download, it stucks on 44%..
i have no idea why but the problem persists either i use PC to download, or from my K900 directly, i tried also from several sites..
Do you have any idea how to install Play Store?
the phone became useless without it.
Thank you very much!!!

You are most welcome my friend. This is what this community is for, to help each other out wherever they can. Anyways, yes. To get Play Store to work is pretty much a cakewalk. And you have multiple ways to get it work thankfully.
The most easiest and simplest way to get to PlayStore to work is to get Open Gapps 4.4. - http://opengapps.org - We are X86, 4.4. and you can choose your variation.
Secondly, if you don't get this to work, there is a 2mb file on an MIUI forum which basically downloads all the .apk from Google - Google PlayStore etc. - http://xiaomininja.com/download/google-app-installer-file-download/
IF for some reason, this also doesn't work, then just ping me. I will send you the file I had installed.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Hello my friend..
Looks like i have to trouble you again..
i just noticed that my Wifi's MAC Address keep changing on every restart..
not sure on every restart -or- on everytime i turned on my wifi..
This is not a bad thing because i regularly use an app called "Pry-Fi (Root)" to create a random MAC whenever i was in Public Area..
But, in my work enviroment (building), i need a static/permanent MAC since i did address reservation already on our Mikrotik along with all the Wireless Routers/Hotspots in our building to help me control our WAN more easy.
i have search the forum and found this:
1. here
There's a fix called wifi_mac_fix.zip
But they said it's for Xperia..
2. Here
This one was under Amazon -> Kindle Fire subforum..
Is it possible to set a permanent MAC address for our K900? the original factory one would be great
i did search the whole setting inside (Security, Privacy & Developer Options) and also the installed apps trying to find something to remove..
Thank you very much before

To be very honest, I am not an engineer or a hardware/networking guy. Nor do I care about my MAC address changing.
However, I did a little search and this is what I found for you:
http://thetechrism.com/how-to-find-change-mac-address-in-android/
It requires root, which I am sure you have.
Also, from what I am reading, I don't think a MAC address can change. It is linked to the hardware chip. It is your IP address that is changing, as per the quora question here:
https://www.quora.com/My-Android-ph...ry-reboot-Are-there-any-suggestions-to-fix-it
Again, I am no judge of this, but hope this helps.
And you are always welcome bro.
@X0LARIUM
MAC Address can't be change permanently without hardware modification of course..
but the application with root permission can change the MAC temporarily..
There are many MAC Spoofer/Changer in Play Store
usually it randomizes the MAC and back to normal after restart or turning off the Wifi.
Our CM-11 KitKat rom somehow changes the MAC every time we turn on the Wifi,
if we turn it off and on again, it will generate a new random address..
i have problem registering on that Russian forum haha..thought that i could ask there..
But no problem at all, this is not very important.
The good thing is, we finally have KitKat on K900
Thank you very much Bro..
i will give it a try

ok 'm done sorry... don't put me in jail
Long story short, I have a G950U that someone updated to bootloader 5. Would you believe that i've been using this Combination Rom for a week now because i have no choice, its' the only V5 firmware i can find.. i was messing with the phone and needed to Odin, but had no files. I never want to see a combination rom again, lol. What i did was install Chrome with adb and went from there.. Chrome is the only Google app that works that i've found. No Play Store, no mail, no Gboard. Some will work at first but will very quickly get laggy and unresponsive, it's great ? If you enjoy frustration. Trying to text with the included keyboard will be one of the most frustrating things anyone has ever done.........ever, lol. Nova launcher works with it, I'm guessing most launchers do work.
So I to go to other app stores. i've spent hours looking but can only find the S8+ V5.
Combination Rom Challenge: How long can you use it as a daily driver before you throw your phone off a bridge? lol.
This S8 has no service so it's not really a daily driver for me and i could't try the phone. Talkatone works over WiFi though, lol.
Download Chrome apk on a pc. Open adb and type "adb install" then drag and drop the apk into the window, lol. Thats the extent of my adb skills

Long story short, I have a G950U that someone updated to bootloader 5. Would you believe that i've been using this Combination Rom for a week now because i have no choice, its' the only V5 firmware i can find.. i was messing with the phone and needed to Odin, but had no files. I never want to see a combination rom again, lol. What i did was install Chrome with adb and went from there.. Chrome is the only Google app that works that i've found. No Play Store, no mail, no Gboard. Some will work at first but will very quickly get laggy and unresponsive, it's great ? If you enjoy frustration. Trying to text with the included keyboard will be one of the most frustrating things anyone has ever done.........ever, lol. Nova launcher works with it, I'm guessing most launchers do work.

This is why proper research and planning is required BEFORE any form of flashing is to take place on an s8 or s8+. It's so when you end up in this mess, you know how to get out of this mess. As of right now, you are sol until a v5 odin firmware is released.
ps. A factory reset might at least let you use the phone as intended.

I do know this. This was not my first time using Odin, or even my first G950U. Seeing the phone was already on Bootloader 5 and not rootable I had the bright idea of putting a password on it to see what I could do with it, I was just bored really The phone has no service and has not been turned on in a month or more. So it would not really be missed. The problem in the first place is a badly cracked screen so it's basically worthless to anyone with no interest in this stuff. I guess mission accomplished though, lol. Technically I got past frp and the lock screen.
csc for g955u bit 5
