Been searching for how to root / flash new android onto Amoi n850, slightly obscure phone. Found a thread on it's sister phone the Amoi n828 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41322386). Would that be compatible with the n850?
Phone has a lot of bloatware and no play store, so would be nice to have a fresh ROM, if any English ones are available
Anyone have experience here?

Hey guys I am also holding an Amoi n850 on my hands now and I really don't know what to do with it. It has android 4.2.1 but it has no google play store, no maps, only some bloatware in Chinese.
Any thoughts?

Sent you a PM, I believe. Messaging is not very good, so I think I sent it a lot
I'm having trouble after installing Google Play Store, it says "No connection" all the time, is there any advice how to handle that apart from installing new ROM, MIUI for example?

For me yes, installing miui was the answer Do you need help with that?
I hope not I downloaded latest MIUI, the phone came already rooted and with installed recovery (I think it's installed because when you long press Power there is option "Reboot to Recovery"). So I will just put MIUI on SD card and flash from there, I've done it a lot of times on other mobiles like HTC Desire so i know the drill If I run into any problem, I'll write it here, tnx

Oh nice mine came unrooted and with no recovery so it was slightly harder here
Yes, it surprised me to so I immediately transfered Google apk's (Play Store, Services and Account manager) and it worked partly - I could add Google account to phone and Store, there are Sync options avalaible (calendar and contacts) but Store opens nice but won't connect no matter what...
Sounds doable but I wouldn't know how. MIUI is nice though so changing ain't bad
Well, it seems that the phone wasn't rooted to start with but the recovery installed (not CWM) was working so I finally flashed MIUI but couldn't install Gapps, after flashing they just don't appear and the MIUI is working perfectly. So, I installed Lewa OS for N850 and Play Store apk, now finally everything is working fine, Lewa is visually almost the same as MIUI so I'm very pleased.

I received my N850 yesterday
no gapps
impossible to flash a new ROM Lewa OS, or MUI (www.needrom.com) with the recovery inside
it starts and stop "Installation aborted"
i try to install new recovery with Mobile uncle tools but impossible
So i have chinese ROM, no gapps and cannot use my phone like i want.
can someone help me
pleasssssse
You have to root first, you can find how to on YouTube, search for MTK6589 root. Then put the n850 "recovery.img" from Needrom site to mSD card. After root you will have access from MobileUncle to open that recovery from mSD. Download Lewa before that and put also on mSD so now you can choose it and flash. After flash, install Google Play Store apk and Play Services apk and that's it. You can try to install MIUI the same way, but I never got gapps working, only in Lewa.
Edit: recovery inside is useless, so you have to use MIUI recovery, you don't even have to install it, just start it from mSD card from MUncle tools (after root, of course)

MIUI comes with gapps pre flashed. Drake and I have both got MIUI working perfectly.
I tried to flash that .27 latest version, MIUI installs perfectly but no gapps on phone. Then I tried older versions, they all install perfectly but still no gapps. I tried flashing just gapps after ROM install, nothing. So I gave up and installed Lewa.

I've flashed all three roms from that site on my phone, all had gapps. Same with Drake.
I see, but it didn't work in my case. Did you replace the original recovery with MIUI one or you managed to flash ROM with the original one?

I received a phone without a recovery so I used MIUI version
Mine came not rooted but with some mysterious no-name recovery installed (not CWM or similar), there was even an option "Boot to recovery" in menu. When I tried to flash MIUI through that, it stopped in the middle giving some error. So I rooted and then used MIUI recovery and flashed OK, but gapps not working.

It was rooted but bad rooted
I rooted again with Motochopper
Installed recovery with MKT tools but it is not Needrom recovery
But when i want to install a new ROM i have Status 7 error
I found Gapps here : http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
it seems to work but i must try now
But i want change the ROM to get MUI or LEWA and i have always this "status 7 error" with all the ROMS
EDIT : I install new recovery and can install LEWA rom but no MUI ROM (maybe the recovery file is not the same ?)
Will try now all.
Well, I used the (MIUI) recovery from Needrom site and was able to install both Lewa and MIUI.
A.O.A everyone.
i have s3 GT-I9300 my cell was rooted and i installed cm 12.1 and its gapps and it was working perfectly then i downloaded cm 13 and its full gapps when i installed it cm 13 installed successfully but when i install full gapps it stuck on logo and don't start.but when i installed its miniapps it installed successfully but it have only few things like sms,camera,browser,gallery etc but no play store, account login either google or anyone account. Then i tried to install cm12.1 which i have already installed in it before cm13 it was not installing. after that i uses Samsung kies and get back to my old version jeally bean and no root.
I again root my cell with kingo root and then i again tried to install cm12.1 but it was giving the error of root permission.
I installed cm10.2 on my cell it installed but no gapps .i fix the root permission and again installed cm12.1 it was installed successfully and also the gapps then i click on reboot it gave me the error of reboot and fix root permission whenever i install gapps it stuck in start logo (Samsung Galaxy s3 I9300) and don't start.
now i am using cm10.2 with no Gapps tell me how to fix root permission and install cm 12.1 and its gapps o it
Thank u
Before installing any rom at first flash sock rom. Download stock rom from sammobile.com flash it via odin.
Then install cwm recovery CWM recovery . Go to cwm recovery flash Supersu.zip to root ur mobile. Then Flash the custom rom which you want. Download & flash gapps from Here
Hi, What suresh said will work. if you're unable to flash Su zip via recovery then odin is your safest and fool proof way.
And as far as the gapps are concerned, though you can choose according to your liking - reading the ROM's forums give the best output~ People share their experiences with gapps.
I suggest you take a backup before flashing anything, all is well until you flash something & it disintegrates your rom experience, but you just can't go back. So never forget to BACKUP.
installation problem of cm and gapps
i have already try this but this does not work. i install the firmfare with samsung kies then root again with kingo root.after that i install the cmw and try to install cm 12.1 but it didn't work.u are telling me again the same procedure which i have already tried earlier.
Instead of flashing via kies you need to flash via odin.
The problem will be kingroot. You should root by flashing cfautoroot via odin.
installation problem of cm and gapps
ok now i am trying this
root problem
Again it is giving the same problem fix root.Root access possibly lost .now what i do.how can i send u pics of the problem?pics are not attaching here
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone, and flashed with resurrected remixed 8.1
Everything seemed good, but trying to install gapps would fail. Everytime I try to flash something it fails, gapps worked once but did not install play services.
I've never had some many problems, the phone does not have a sdcard. ROM manager is installed, and connected to wifi, but it cannot update, does not say why. I tried to get TWRP to work, now it says the phone is not rooted.
I flash SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822, it says success but there is no super user. SU when I run it says it is occupied.
Tried to wip cache etc, and flash stock or lineage, error 7. Tried to remove assert in the update script, than gives a error about footer.
I know I must be missing something. RR Oreo 8.1, no web browser, going to download and move via usb and install. Any suggestions are welcome.
