Or any custom ROM? Just any ROM?

The source code was published on http://opensource.ztedevice.com/. Is it "too hard" to make ROM out of this? Can I do it without special skills, just following a tutorial?

Any luck? I'm in need of this myself.

Me, too! (+1)
Please, will someone with a proper kit dump the ROM? I, uh... over-rooted mine. But all is not lost! I still can get to recovery mode and it has flashing options! (With device in OFF state, hold VOL. UP + POWER + HOME. Navigate to RECOVERY MODE with VOL. UP, then VOL. DN to select. The green "sick Android" logo with a "!" appears. Press VOL. UP + POWER for approx. 5 seconds, then release both simultaneously. This should display all the recovery options.) We would be eternally grateful, and I promise lots of :good:'s! Because really, let's be honest: we're all here because we want one of those nifty "SENIOR MEMBER" badges. When I get one, I'm gonna have it tatooed on my arm. (Everyone knows chicks dig rooting skills.) In the meantime, I'll be trying to learn how to compile the source code from the link another member posted above...

Hey you guys... Really need this too... any progress?

Any news???

i have it but? how do y get it out of the phone
help do that and there y will have it
thanks mark

I'm a little concerned with the compile effort after carefully reading ZTE's Open-Source policies... It seems the "ROM" download for the Z820 found on their website contains only the open-source portions of the firmware. Not only am I having difficulty getting a "good" download with my backwoods Internet connection (3 attempts-all bad,) I'm afraid after compiling that I'll only have a partial OS ROM. Does anyone skilled (read: not a junior member like me) know if there's proprietary first or third party code in most OEM stock ROM's? If so, would those portions be available online to download and place in the proper partitions? ZTE's very specific wording spooked me... I mean, I ain't scared to give 'er a go as-is, but I'm curious. The thing's just collecting dust now...

Now I'm curious. I might have the ability to grab this little device. Let me have a look at the source code first, get my bearings, and I'll see what I can find. I've got a lot going on, so I might need a reminder or two... Hope you guys like android forums though, that's where I tend to linger

Right, so I just found the sources. Downloading both the TMO and MPCS sources and will diff them tomorrow. That being said; they have only released the kernel source. Which is AMAZING considering, but not everything for a ROM. With this, I could make a custom ROM, figure out root (bootloader is covered luckily), and more! What I'm saying is; I'll give it a shot. I'll update this thread with developments as they come

I need this also!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!! LOL THANK YOU!

Just to keep you guys informed; I tried downloading both of the sources and couldn't get their tar.gz to extract completely in Linux - meaning we're totally stuck and that's it.
Kidding.
E-mailed the guys over there and after a few days they finally got back to me letting me know the site was down for maintenance and to try again in a few days. Doesn't sound too promising, sure, but at least we know that we don't have to post a formal legal request like the guys over at the Fire Phone threads had to do. I'll get that source for ya.

FYI I already have a CWM Recovery compiled and ready to go for this device however thanks to Securelock and the 101 error any attempts at flashing via dd and no access to fastboot (tried zero'ing out the recovery partition to try to force bootloader) there is no way currently to flash to the device... I've already got a CM 12.1 build ported over also... Gonna work on a custom kernel next but only if we can get past this Securelock issue
I may be a junior member but trust I am a seasoned developer and have worked on roms such as the CM 10 port for the LG Optimus and F3 / F6.
BBQ Linux all the way!

We're fortunate to have your expertise, zerolath! That's why I love XDA! This thing's driving me nuts! It's the only 64-bit device I have until my Raspberry Pi 3 arrives, and I hate that I was careless and didn't back it up first! Rookie error. But I have learned: my LG Leon is backed up and well rooted! I had the same issue as crutchcorn did with the kernel source code DL. Got a unexpected zero bit at #### error with multiple DL's. I'm not experienced enough to attempt flashing just the kernel anyway. I hope there's a way around the SecureLock protection!
Back-up EVERYTHING. Compulsively! ?

Aye mate. XDA and programmer centric forums and such are pretty snazzy. Great place for people of all walks of life to learn, laugh, and grow.

I hope you can solve this... I too have this phone bricked at home, after flashing official update from ZTE...
Thank you so much for helping us!

Any ROM's Yet?

are there any developers out there creating roms for this? It would nice to have a kernel at least, i know there is one out but its only for the european version. We need developers!!
I got the time for it but not the brain for it im best at testing roms
Doesn't seem that anyone's developing ROMs at the moment, although some are trying. I think first we need to get a recovery working such as Clockworkmod so we can flash the ROMs to the device.
I just got my player a few days ago, but I've been doing some research on how to port CWM to new devices and hopefully something will come to fruition. I'm not a programmer by any means, but I know linux pretty well so hopefully I'll be able to put something together.
Does someone know where there is documentation on how to install new ROMs using Linux? I don't have windows or Mac.
I'm trying to install 2.3.5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389809
I believe the instructions are in the android developers kit, so I'll go there next unless someone has a quick pointer.
Thanks,
Daniel
I think the only way currently is with the software samsung gives you, but I might be wrong. Mine came with 2.3.5 on it - I'm using linux mint but haven't had a need to figure it out.
Some people over in the Android Development thread are working on it from what I hear. CM9 here I come!

Possible ROM/KERNEL for Mediapad 10 Link (s10-201XX)

Hey there, i was just wondering, is anybody up to the challenge of making a custom rom or even a custom kernel for this device?
This device is really underprivileged and with the right rom it would make a serious competitor against pretty much all tabllets out there with even a bigger price range (no including the really expensive ones).
The problem with it's original rom is that it doesn't take even the minimal advantage of the hardware (typical Huawei...).
So yeah, if anybody is interested in helping the owners of this device, post something here :fingers-crossed:
Thank you very much guys

i've tried to connect my MP10 Link via adb. Some some USB ports reporting "0123456789ABCDEF device" some (mostly USB 3.0) reports "0123456789ABCDEF offline" ... and when i reboot into fastboot, adb won't see my device...
Edit: I've found on Huawei websites firmware for S10-201wa (relased 23 January 2014, C232B002), unpacked and sucessfully flashed Boot.img and System.img via adb into my S10-201L ... now i have Questionmark instead of battery icon and no signal
Now Trying to flash back to C232B003, relased 10 September 2013 .... and it works.....
So, i think we have somethink to start with....

Do you by chance have the firmware S10-201wa on your hard drive or somewhere else? Could you please kindly upload it to mediafire or something and post the link? I would be very grateful, since the firmware is not available on the Huawei site anymore.

Almost two years later but I will be looking into this I already have a working kernel, no thanks to the poor Huawei sources which are botched from the OEM.
I would like to end up with a KK / lolipop based rom at the end, the current roms crawls after a couple of added programs.

Wow finally. I was expecting EMUI 3.0 will support Mediapad 10, turns out, they left this wonderful device in the cold. This is a very good device and it will be a tragedy if there will be no custom roms for it. I will be looking forward. Thanks a lot darkspr1te. Your the man!!!

This is where Huawei is doomed. Lack of support for their devices like 10 link. Looking forward to darkspr1te's work.... God bless you man
Hi,
Does anyone know if darkspr1te is still working in this ROM?
Is there still on progress custom rom for this Mediapad 10 fhd? Hope wonderful inform ℹ for good news come in.. Thx for great effort
It seems that we don't see a custom ROM for Mediapad 10 link...what a pity!!!
I have a compiling kernel but not tested, i also have a few cm10/11 configs i've never used, let me push them to my github for others, i've also done a lot of reversing work on the bootloaders, again it's just documents and notes but may be handy.
Great!! Good work, Darkspr1te!! Lot of people hope you can compile a kit kat or CM 11 ROM to test...to improve our Tablet. Do you think Lollipop will be possible?
Hi, darkspr1te,
Some progress in your work with this device? Any chance to see a custom ROM in Mediapad Link?
Try this
Hello,
has anyone try this?

[Q] Help with building a ROM from OEM source WIKO FIZZ (MT6572)

Beloved community. I need your help.
Scenario: The Wiko FIZZ of my GF stopped working out of the blue. Several searches online found me some threads with frustrated users.
What i think i could do: Reboot to recovery --> Wipe data --> all good. -->WASN'T!!
So i started looking for a factory image i could flash. Apparently Wiko has oneclicktools for almost all of their smartphones to get them back to factory state. Not so for the FIZZ. I came across a collection of Factory images and again, the FIZZ was missing.
So i came across this site: http://www.wikogeek.com/
They provide source code to everybody who wants to do developement with his WIKO.
My final questions to you:
1. This is only the source for the Kernel or am i wrong?
2. Can i build the kernel according to all the nice guides out here or do i have to care about something special? (recommending a specific guide?)
3. Once i got my Kernel ready. Could i take any ROM, made for MT6572-Devices and get the FIZZ running again?
4. Is there anything else i should try before messing with such stuff in order to get the FIZZ running again?
Thank you much
The stock firmware is finally available

[TREE] Need help creating the Honor 7 device tree.

NEED HELP​
Hello guys, I'm working on a generic tree for our beloved device Honor 7, but not getting enough success, so each and every of you are invited to help me create a new device tree for AOSP 5.1 ROM or CM 12.1, so that we can taste the Stock Android too.
The benefits of these ROMs are that the device will get more fast and stable as there will be minimum apps and bloatwares installed.
So, it is a humble request, that whosoever have any knowledge about creating a tree from scratch please help me.
I have created a skeleton of the tree but it is not a success too as there are many things we still have to consider.
@sminki and @kenshiwara, we will setup an organization on GitHub so everyone can contribute there only.
Hi,
It will be wonderfull to have CM on our honor7.
Sorry mate. You haven't seen my troubles over the last few weeks then
After my H7 'died', I got a warranty replacement phone, and unlocking was proving impossible, each day was bringing more frustration and anger so i've sold it!
That's it, i'm out of the "honor" business for good (hence the "unsupported" bit on the recovery and kernel threads), but as a parting "gift", here's a few things that may help "the cause".
Sorry, the length of this post got out of control! :silly:
device tree starting point:
https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_huawei_p8 - it's similar enough, that with a little editing and boom, we had our recovery*
https://github.com/debbiche/android_device_huawei_p8 - another fuller "tree" (wip), again the p8 is similar enough to use as a base
https://github.com/Gibbon99/android_device_huawei_hwgemini - mediapad x2 - another kirin​
if you're insane, you could get the dtb files (iirc - i got these from compiling the source) and decompile, but this contains EVERYTHING, theses files are huge, many hundred kb and would take days to get the info out you need (if there is any!)
cm
have a look at codeworkx H6 git, it's the closest device you'll find that has CM actually running on it, albeit CM11 (and abandoned!)
https://github.com/codeworkx/proprietary_vendor_huawei
https://github.com/codeworkx/android_device_huawei_h60-common​
other things:
osm0sis' kitchen out of the many boot image unpack/repack tools, this worked the best with huawei boot/recovery images
* with this in mind, anyone running Linux can pull apart my recovery, fix the issues in default.prop, add extra partitions to fstab and repack it. then post it for everyone else to use.
with the sh!tty way fastboot is on these phones, and the way modem binaries get patched, you're going to have to look for a way to write these in recovery (scripted with dd i imagine) so that everyone can use without having the ballache that is B100,B121,B140 etc etc to get to a version that will work with your ROM. this for me is where it's all going to hurt! (and end with bricks!)
final thing - the kernel source is terrible, it is so far removed from AOSP that simple things that you could normally just drop in, like cpu governors won't work. unless you really know C++ and how to debug it's gonna be near stock (like mine funnily enough!)
Good luck chaps :good: it's gonna be a hell of a ride!

Thanks, this will help enough and I was not aware of your troubles
I got a device tree working with CM12.1 and USB debugging, but Mali was a showstopper. Now I'm fighting with CM13 instead... Generally, the B313 ROM is far less hacky, but we lose the open source kernel for a while until they release one.
I will set up a GitHub tree with what I have when I get CM13 compiling again, however keep in mind that you need to patch the boot.img manually to use the closed-source B313 kernel until Huawei releases the source for that, which probably won't happen at the very least until it's fully in OTA. I'd love some help from someone who is more experienced, especially with the Mali drivers which are the worst of pains.
EDIT: I got CM13 compiling again. Let's hope for the best.
EDIT2: Mali works! Sadly, that currently depends on Huawei's libgui.so which brings in a huge chunk of Huawei's patched libraries - otherwise, it segfaults in strange places. Any ideas?

Any progress?
I hope I can do something,it is nice to see cm for honor 7.
Since it has been a while that any Info came out of this thread I have to ask.. Is anyone still working the tree?
I normaly do not ask for etas but in this case it would be useful if the thread is abandoned that we could know the reasons and Problems so maybe someone else could join in with a different approach

I'm a bit busy to continue my work on the tree, but after my exams I will continue to work on tree with Android 6.0 source. Hope it goes well.

I will be developing AOSP 6.0, if others can give it a try then maybe we can get it.

A little something to quench your thirst

Since everyone kept asking and I myself wanted it, I decided to start this project. The main reason why I didn't do it earlier was because I needed Asus to release the Oreo build already so I could get the required files. So for now I leave you with this, hope I made your day a bit better and have a great day!
Note: the build you see here is just so I could get the compiler working.
Sweet!! Looking forward to seeing the progress on this.
Nice. Do you think the build will have camera quality issues though?

We'll see once I get a debuggable build running. I hope it's smooth sailing, but I can't guarantee anything.
First build?
Is this the first build?
If you want tester I am always available.

Nice to hear that you want to test the rom, but unfortunately I still don't have a flashable build. I try to work on it whenever I can to get one out as soon as possible. Do keep in mind I do this in my free time when I'm not busy with school. When I do get a debuggable build out, I'll let this forum know so I can get some testers to test it out (other than myself).
+)KEV1N(+ you are a savior , please help us get rid this sick twisted ASUS stock firmware , it's a mess in every aspect , heat, poor battery life, muffled sound via headphones, enormous amount of services running in the background (loses 20% overnight), complete failure in both firmware and kernel wise cause they massively overclocked that S625 , i can live with a rom without the main camera app , OpenCam will do just fine , just take care of that power consumption please cause on paper it should deliver 12-16h SOT , it's 5000mah with s625 and AMOLED screen for god sake !
Thank you in advance for your effort.
Kevin,
Thanks so much for taking on this project!
Not many have the skills or time to do a project like this. I think I can speak for all Z3Z owners when I say that your work will not go unappreciated.
I am simply observing the work of the gentlemen, let us continue in this to create a lineage.

It is a slow process, especially since this is my daily driver. I just came back from holidays back home and now I'll continue to work on it whenever I get the chance. I'll get a working test build running eventually. Can't guarantee when, just know that as a new developer it'll take time to fix things and put them in place since porting is also not easiest of projects.
I visit this thread multiple times a day, it gives me hope)
Thank u Sir
I'm grateful that you are working on this project.
Take your time & carry on.
I want do downgrade form Oreo to MM, Q: will i need to extract recovery.img form MM zip and flash it separately or the stock Oreo recovery will work with all raw asus builds ?
Build# : ww-11.41.87.2 this is the latest MM update before Nougat update, i'm a little confused cause every build has it's own method so any advice for the safest fastest way to :
1-Downgrade to MM from Oreo
2-Flash Magisk to root and install greenify , viper4android cause i'm done with this Oreo.
3-Do i need to unlock the bootloader ?
4-Do i need twrp to flash migisk?
5-Does twrp work with all versions of android ?
3-What are the cons of this procedure if a custom ROM would fall from heaven and i would want to flash it after i flash MM?

I started at the end of my school year a couple of months back. I had a month-long hiatus in July due to me going back to my family back home. I came back in August and am working on it as a side project. Naman's helping me with this right now and so far we got till the boot animation. And then you have those times when we fix something and you go one step back. It's a slow process since the two of us aren't like 24/7 busy on the project. I usually work on it during weekends, but lately I've been needing my phone more and more since I'm very very busy with other priorities. Again, this is a side project I'm doing because I like coding and I like learning new things. So, I can't say for certainty when we can get a release out, but I work eagerly every time hoping it gets past the boot animation or even gets there if I fix something.
I hope this clears out any misconceptions you may have of me and this project. Have a further great day sir
It's nice to hear from you.
That's d very reason I visit this thread.
Keep ur good work going.
Keep us updating.
All d best
Hello mate, you know the whole world is waiting for this build from xda to 4pda to every other android community so what's the news my friend? can you post the bugs maybe we can help with some of them and learn about the Lineage route you chose.
The midterm examination is about to start and you'll be too busy with the study!
My full appreciation to your work.
Instead of quenching our thirst, op made it worse... Shame no developer decided to code for this device.

There is a developer who is willing to port lineage if people will crowdfund the purchase of a Z3Z for them.
