TWRP 2.8.5.0 for the SGH-M819N MetroPCS Mega 6.3
With permission from the highly skilled developer who generously took his time to create this build, I share with you Team Win Recovery Project version 2.8.5.0 for the MetroPCS Mega 6.3 (SGH-M819N). I can't take any credit for this build, but all I can say is don't forget to appreciate your developers who kindly take their time to bring things like this to you.
The need for this build arose after discovering the partition table on the MetroPCS Mega 6.3 is slightly different than on the international Mega 6.3, and it created an incompatibility with the more recent TWRP builds. If the AT&T variant ever gets it's bootloader cracked/unlocked (don't hold your breath), then this should also work on it too, as it's partition table is identical to the MetroPCS's. I have no idea about the Sprint variant.
Anyway, down to business...
Downloads
I've attached the recoveries to this post in zip and tar format. If for some reason this isn't allowed, I've created alternate download mirrors. If you need this recovery in .img format, simply download the zip and extract it from that. Chances are, if you're here, you're already capable of handling that. Anyhow, enjoy...

Any knowledge if the Canadian mega had the same partition table? No locked boot loader for Canada. And I have been using the ROMs built for the 9205 I think..
I checked the partition table of my Canadian mega and it seems the same to me. (After a few drinks it looked almost exact, so you might want some one else to confirm). So I flashed it and everything seems to be working fine.. But I will not know for sure until my yearly wipe and reinstall..
Of anyone wants to see my partition table send a message and Ill post it
As an update I've been using this recovery on my Canadian mega i527m for a week now, been flashing and backup and restoring most every day as I Mess with my mega
Only issue I have found is that when rebooting and it asks to install super user I can't cancel out and if I hit yes the screen just goes black and it reboots..
Other wise it's working pretty good.
thank you for posting this.
Nice work
I know this post is a few years old, but thank you so much for this TWRP build!! I have a client that was about to give up on his MetroPCS Mega 6.3, so I suggested TWRP, SuperSU, System App Remover Pro, Titanium Backup, AdAway, BusyBox, & EX Kernel Manager (a GREAT kernel tweaking tool, even for Kernels other than ElementalX!!), and now she's running like a champ!!
Ugh, Samsung crapware just KILLS devices that would otherwise be great, so thank you again for this TWRP build. It made flashing SuperSU a breeze, not to mention the ability to make Nandroid's . . . . then, it was time for bloatware removal and some tweak-tastic goodness!!
I would've preferred to flash a custom ROM, but apparently there isn't a single one that's 100% functional on the MetroPCS variant (SGH-M819N), so again, thank you so much for this. If a decent, compatible custom ROM ever surfaces, at least now we have a way to flash it!!

EDIT: For those of you who want the ROM, I've uploaded it in the thread on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-hisense-hs-u980-t3147968
hi every one
I recently got an android, it seems to be a china-android
its called Hisense, hs-u980
the detailed specs are in these links:
---------------
http://www.hisense.es/es/electronica/moviles/item/124-u980.html
http://www.dspecs.com/sp/735/Hisense-U980-Features-and-Specifications.html
---------------
the OS is old and boring 4.2.1 , I searched for a custom ROM but no luck
BUT I found THIS site, and it seems to have ROMs for it:
-----------
http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=海信u980&mo_device=1&pn=0&
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3039480252?lp=5028&mo_device=1&pn=0&
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3079914712?pn=0&
-------
but its Chinese so I don't understand a thing, even with Google translate, because I have little - but hopefully enough- experience with custom roming and rooting, and the translator messes with the words
so pleeeeease anyone help me
: D
after getting used to it and studying some roms and development stuff
i found that its not that boring afterall
actually it looks like its based on kitkat theme
but could there be Roms for it
or at least roms that work on it but for a similar device
cuz actually i think its based on some other official android phone but i dont know which one
any help would be appreciated, THX

Sorta at times yes. I installed camera JB+. Pictures are a bit better, but I mainly got it for the option to record video with flash. Camera360pro now that will always give you crisp pictures, even on my Huawei Y300, I was amazed.

Thanks a lot for this. how do you install the rom? Upgrade via SD, Root? And where?
hi
below are instructions from my memory and links from untested roms. follow at your own risk. cheers
Vaguely, the steps are:
1) Rooting: I used Baidu 1 click root (chinese) . Some guy used Framaroot and works on u980:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/how-to-root-chinese-hisense-phones-t2889998
2) After rooting, install Mobile Uncle Tools (below)
3) Use Mobile uncle to install the u980 twrp recovery (CHinese version only below)
4) copy roms to root of sd card
5) Boot into recovery and install downloaded roms from SD card

Hi!!
Thanks for all the info but Im having some hard time finding the drivers to detect the phone on my PC.
The thing is that I read that to make a backup, I need first to use "MTK Droid Root & Tools" which would also allow me to root my phone. But that software doesn't detects my phone at all.
I connected my phone as CD drive, then it shows the drivers for it, installed but nothing changes. Device manager detects my phone.
Could you please help me a little on this? I would like to backup the whole ROM and phone before doing any risky changes and also want to backup the IMEI just in case.
Thanks in advance!
Well
Do like i did
Install FRAMAROOT from here
forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
And try an exploit and it will work
As for the Recovery Mode
I think The link in a previous reply - mobile uncle - will only install a Chineese recovery mode
Would that work for doing backups? I am really more interested in being able to backup my phone than anything else.
Also, my main objetive is to repartition the phone since it comes with 2GB for apps and 6GB as storage. I would like to use that other memory to be able to install more apps since I have SD card and these 6GB are there laughing of not being used at all lol. It's verya nnoying to have so much memory and not being able to use :/

Hisense u988
Hi guys i couldn't resist the u980 pure so i bought one 5 days ago.
I see Hisense have released the u988 infinity H3.
I would have taken that one but that CPU....
I have a question and bear with my ignorance.
This model has an inferior snapdragon 200 1.2GHZ cpu but runs KIT KAT.
Other then that, its the same phone.
Would it be possible to download the stock rom for the U988 and flash it with the U980?
Please assist as this is my intention and i have already rooted via framaroot.
guys, can anyone help me here? my u980 is stucked bootloop when i tried to flash aosp version. pls help

Flash custom ROM
Video with links to files, and other hopefully useful info. FOR A SOLUTION!
I had a really long post with useful info containing an answer maybe not "the answer" Wanted me to instead post a comment.. Below are the instructions on how to do it according to a Youtube Video I found. While I haven't tried this method, It looks sound to me, they've included all the files needed in a link to MEGA. I'll re-share without the password / decryption key if the poster agrees only.. I do highly suggest Phoenix ROM if you're on a kltevze, it come included with eveyrthing you're looking for and I've used it before In fact, I tried it last night but was unable to get into my phone past the boot password screen I think because the system ui kept crashing. while I have used this version, I may try twelve, since I prefer AOSP or LOS based roms, I want as light as possible maybe even removing google and going with MICRO G which I used fairly successfully for over a month, It isn't perfect, sometimes the location addon apps crash, but there are many, and it may just be that the ones I was using crashed, and not the ones you need yourself.. But MICRO G is worth the piece of mind to me coming from an encrypted phone, No I have nothing to hide really but Alphabet/Google already know enough about me through the use of their "FREE and Very Handy I might add, Services Ahem) By the way, Phoenix can be used with either an unlocked bootloader or safestrap if not.. Just get the right one.. I may end up going with a rooted deodexed TW rom, and add xposed to get the features I love from RR and other LOS based ROMS. With further ado, heres the link to the youtube instructional video I found, I really wish it was written out or could simple installed as a flashable zip which shouldn't be hard to make, but it is what it is for now.. And again seems correct to me if you don't want o go with a custom rom like Phoenix for kltevzw.
Well upon testing the Youtube link didn't play so here it is both Title for searching and another link. Install Galaxy S7 Touchwiz on S5! (Marshmallow) /URL]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsiKG98GVBA
I used Heimdal to flash to a more recent factory TW before flashing Phoenix which requires at least PB1. I think. Check their OP under user JKRUSE or near the top of the VZE dev thread.
This is Heimdal as found in synaptic from a buntu based distroand should be the same in any Debian based or any other distro for that matter as I've found it in many repos for different distro's, I think a ppa is available with newer builds, but don't hold me to that.
Heimdall <- commandline version.
Heimdall is a tool for flashing firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S
devices over a USB connection. It accomplishes this using the same
protocol as Odin, Samsung's internal Windows-only firmware updater.

If I do either agian soon, I'll report back with results. Again, I know Phoenix worked fine. But I'd imagine a plain TW rooted ROM that you debloat yourself and maybe add Xposed for many features found in Phoenix and in AOSP/LOS based ROM's such as RR/CR-DROID for those who prefer additional tweaking and other enhancements. Again I trouble just last night with the latest V15 of Phoenix on boot and don't know why other than my fully ecnypted device and password on boot feature But either way again if you test before me let me know the result as well. I do need a new battery for mine since it's the one it came with but that's a story for another thread, when I bought my S5 last spring for beans, (with the unlockable BL, I had to have it since my S3 had died. and I couldn't afford a new phone) and I could easily get a day plus when service is good with about 4+ hours SOT. But lately I'm using charging by the end of the day. Haven't decided yet on a stock Sammy battery or a more expesive, Thicker, heavier, but much longer lasting extended battery.
Sorry for such a long winded post. All my posts are this way if you know me. I do apologize and need to be more brief but I'm more of a lurker and searcher for what I need to know and post very seldom especially with this much what I think could be useful to someone.
If it happens to be useful please hit the "Thankss" button, it could help here, and even when looking for a job as I am... Hahahaha.. Getting laid off work blows in my area of the country.
Thanks and Happy New Year to all those who celebrate it during this time of year, if not Happy New Year when it arrives and I wish the best for everyone on the Planet. Stay informed and don't believe everything you read/hear/watch... #NoAgenda #ITM.

So i have some no-brand chinese MT6580 running Lollipop 5.1 - not KitKat.
All the automatic and semi-automatic recovery porting tools work only for GB/JB/KK
Sadly the MT6580 kernel source was never leaked, so no compiling also.
Any way to get anything working? i would be even happy with a non-Touch CR...
Bumping this one as I am also looking for a way to port TWRP to my Galaxy S7 clone. And yes, it seems that none of the recovery porting tools seem to work on my end either. :/

I've hacked together a TWRP image for a FiGO "Virtue 2", 512MB, 8GB, MT6580, 5.1 but it is larger than the upload limit so I can not attach it for you. It seems to work with the possible exception thus far of not finding OTG storage, an issue which shall not keep me up at night. Installs, backs up, recovers ..... so far so good.
DISCLAIMER: As everyone says, use at your own risk. If the aliens come and take away your house pets or you experience any other device related or coincidental calamity of any kind, there's nothing I can, should, or will do about it.
Used the Carliv Image Kitchen, my stock recovery image, a TWRP image I found for an Infinix "Hot 2" and the general procedure found at this URL
http://www.xposedgeek.net/how-to-port-philzctrcwmtwrp-recovery-to-your-phone/
If you have the flash stuff for your factory build like I did it is probably a piece of cake, because I am pretty new at this sort of thing and if it can be screwed up I usually can find the way to do so. Took about an hour including thinking time before hitting the button. I was either brave or stupid and didn't even set up a virtual test first, but it works :cyclops: The Almighty must approve of my actions at some level.
Proceed with appropriate caution.
Hope that helps.

The lack of OTG support is indeed something of a shame, but at least this is something. Thanks for the tip mate!
EDIT: OK, so I managed to port TWRP to my device. Only problem is that I had to fiddle with the partitions, and for some reason there seems to be no other way to flip the screen back other than compiling another TWRP image or google my way through a compatible prebuilt by some kid online. I'll post my flipped-screen version ASAP when I get to compile that thing myself.
Sorry for the double-post, but here's the source-built port I made for inverted framebuffers:
https://github.com/huckleberrypie/android_device_alps_z6u030
I made it for clone devices in mind, but feel free to port or fork this in case you need to use this on your phone.

Sir please port samsung c7 clone
Please note this ROM is only for the SPH-L520 (Sprint) only!!! Do not try flashing this on any other variant. Search XDA for your device, as there are loads of other ROMS for your INTL version

Many thanks for this ROM. It installed without the slightest hicckup and is working fine. Been looking and trying to replace the OEM software for quite some time now with no success. This was a breath of fresh air. Great coding. Keep up the fine work. Best Regards. Yachtsman
I got it working figured out there's a tool to do it, ty awesome work btw.
Heres's an updated version of Lineage 14.1 which includes November's Security Patch and an updated CDMA(I hope I spelled that correctly)

Thanks for posting! Got it working on my Sprint S4 mini.
Thanks for posting! Got it working on my Sprint S4 mini, too.
I use the S4 Mini's as media players. Lineage 14.1 has better media options than the original OS. Great player for $30 or even $50. My Rockboxed Sansa Clip is wearing out. Smart Audiobook Player is great for audio books. The really great part of using the S4 Mini is the ability to load new content from my personal cloud.
Thanks for the awesome work Michael! any idea which one of your nougat roms are funtioning the best; this one, aokp, or RR? thanks
Also any plans around here to experiment here with oreo or p? I know as it is, that getting nougat is great for such an old device, but its the last true mini sprint phone out there...
Awesome job Michael!!! I really like the size of this phone, and I am hoping that this ROM keeps my phone running for a while.
However, I found a problem when I flashed the phone: I cannot put an account to the phone. In other words, when I go to settings > accounts> + add account, my choices are Exchange, Personal (Imap) and Personal (Pop3). The choice for adding a google account for the phone to sybchronize itself with the google services: play store, App Data, Docs, Drive, etc is not there. Did I miss a step in the flashing?
I sideloaded google play, but it fails because there isn't an account on the phone. Again, Did I miss a step?
Thank you for your time and shared expertise.

I cycled thru the imaging, flashing, gapps thing, and now the phone has connectivity to the app store.
-- Ill create a new post about this, but when I tried to activate the phone, I needed to update the PRL (Sprint) does anyone know how to do this?
Thx
Flashed the original software into the phone, did all the updates and reflashed lineage, so far so good: Everything works as the OP promised. Great Work!!!

I installed the original sprint software, updated everything on the phone. Then rooted, flashed and installed Lineage. It has worked about 95%. The WI-FI connectivity has a problem.
- Sometimes it does not let go of the wifi connection when I leave my house & it drains the battery very fast, shut off WI-FI & the problem is fixed.
- Sometimes it does not connect to the wifi, and cannot find a signal (multiple & strong signals available), reboot device & it connects
Does any one have any idea how to solve the issues with WI-FI?

Halp?
Spamming this question here in case anyone else had a similar experience:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/help/sph-l520-ting-4g-lte-t3817775
(TL;DR - can't get 4G/LTE on Ting even though everything else works perfectly?)
Curiously, I installed this rom on two sph-l520s successfully. After a month, I put back on one phone the Samsung 4.4.2 os. I did a twrp backup.
Several months later, I tried to restore the lineage backup. On reboot, this phone gets stuck with google framework stopped as well as other similar errors. I tried doing a new install after a wipe and it hangs at the lineage logo forever.
After many attempts and restores did not work, I installed the resurrection rom successfully.
Downloaded over and over and so on.
Now I have lineage 14.1 on one phone and resurrection on the other.
Anyone have a clue why this rom will not work on one sph-l520?
I made a TWRP build for the Sprint variant, and also builds of Lineage 15.1 and 16.0 if that's of interest.

absolutely fantastic, except i can't get any sprint service on the rom? any idea how to get it going/special zip to flash to trigger it? I already set up my service on stock rom, and On RR 14 I can get service perfectly fine, except that rom isnt stable and crashes on me. This one is great, just want to be able to enable my sprint talk text and data. THANKS!!!!

It's an issue with Sprint devices to get data working on Roms past Nougat.
Am itching myself to resurrect my S4Mini Sprint...

N910AUCS2EQF1
I was doing some messing around with my Galaxy Note 4 and came accross the Odin files for the SM-N910A. So far the phone runs WAY cooler with this ROM and performance is exceptionally smooth, So much so that I wanted to share it with the community. I have lightly debloated it and will add more details and a heavily debloated version very soon.
ROM has been built for my SM-N910V (I use it on ATT network) Rom may work on other snapdragon variants but have not tested on Verizon or Sprint Service.
Happy Flashing,
DO A FULL BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING AT YOUR OWN RISK
Magisk works well and Passes Safety Net

We've hit a new low if you cant read the opening post and figure that out
But to shorten the war by several years, it clearly says that he found the files for the 910A and then made a version for his 910V
It also clearly says ODIN, which is how you flash it
Using latest ODIN from here
Its also worth mentioning you've replied and revived a topic thats over 2 years old and no one ever tested or got involved in
The ROM is very old...i would use a more recent ROM from the first 5 or 6 active topics in this thread (lineageOS 16/XenonHD/Havoc etc) , they will have far more recent security updates etc than that old untested thing, and you will get some form of support for them, you wont with this, you will be unlikely to get any assistance with it

Since youre using the 910A, i thought you might be on the 910V, you might be more limited to the ROM's available and may want to ignore my suggestion of using the later ROM's i suggested....im sorry i dont know much about the 910A enough to direct you to a better ROM
Maybe this is the best ROM choice for you being on the 910A
Perhaps another 910A owner can make a suggestion or someone with more experience
Will it work on n910g if i flash kernel for it.
This ROM works on the Verizon Note 4? N910v? I've been meaning to mine a debloated ROM for my note 4 since, stock marshmallow is so laggy.
i installed my N910v verizon ,but no good cant open wifi button
