[Honor 5A aka. Huawei Y6 II Compact] Are there any custom ROMs? - Huawei Y6 Questions & Answers

Hello guys!
Recently, i've got this phone mentioned above. It is a great phone, everything is okay, but i do not like EMUI a lot, i prefer AOSP to EMUI.
Are there any custom ROMs (CM, AOSP, etc) to this phone?
I've looked around on 4pda.ru about this, i found a recovery, but thats it, nothing more.

There you go, i installed this TWRP 3.0.2.0, and it works like a charm.
1: Unlock your bootloader. IT IS INDISPENSABLE! If you brick your device locked, you lost.
2: Go into fastboot (Easiest: Turn off your device, and Hold down POWER DOWN + POWER WHILE you attach the USB from the computer. The phone will go instantly into fastboot mode, it works for me)
3: Type: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
4: The phone now should download the recovery. Pull the battery out, and restart in recovery.
Download
The file is from 4PDA.ru, i have to reupload it, because 4PDA's sign up is a PAIN. A friend of mine helped me, and it took like 2 hours.
Altough, i do not know why you need the recovery other than backing up, since there are no custom rom avaiable for this phone. (Can anyone maybe port to it?)

I think, that porting Allwiev E4 Lite custom roms would be the best option, but I have weak knowledge about roms porting :crying:

There are no custom roms yet for this device.
For first you may trie to install nova launcher? It gives some feeling near to aosp.

No. The best option is to port the ROM with the same chipset (MT6735).
My best result is a Doogee X5 Pro

@snikerfreak did you find any rom for this device.
My son instaled TWRP and wiped everything trying to flash an honor 5A rom, installation failed so now phone is dead.
Do you know where to get a firmware? Can't find anything right!

All attempts to find firmware for my Dual Sim Huawei Y6 II Compact (LYO-L21) failed so I want to ask a BIG support to anyone in this thread with a TWRP recovery installed. By inexperience my teenager son wiped every partition on the phone and now we are unable to boot. It would be of great help if some one could share a twpr backup (including all partitions) to be used not only for me but for anyone as a flashable firmware.
I'm aware it would take some time, skills and dedication.
Here is how to perform it:
Backup your current phone firts with all your personal data
Do a Factory Reset
Do a second backup to be shared as a stock rom or standard firmware
Restore personal backup
Upload firmware (stock rom) backup to the cloud and share donwload link here
Is there anyone wanting to provide this?
I'll be very grateful for that
Thanks

Russian have custom ROMs in 4pda forum. It is Resurrection Remix OS 7.1.1 (unstable beta) and CyanogenMod 14.1_Android 7.1.1 (beta, camera not working). They stop work with RR_OS, but CM 14.1 is still porting.
You can help em.
links:
RR_Os port - 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=792704&st=560#entry60137872
CM 14.1 port - 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=792704&st=780#entry60547208
Also u can install ota-updates from custom recovery. Just del some strings in updater-script file into update.app \META-INF\com\google\android\ and repack its like .zip (w/o compression)
4xample strings:
assert(file_getprop(" -- it is checks firmware version and region
assert(apply_patch_check(" --- it is checks the hash sums of files the updates

Prestigio 5044

Just bought PAP 5044. Fantastic phone. Anyone have any ideas for rooting this phone, installing cwm???
Use Framaroot 1.6 (Boromir exploit) for rooting. It's pretty much "one click" stuff and works like a charm. Now, as for cwm, I still haven't found the solution. I just managed to boot to the stock recovery but none of the commands are working so no use there.

Use Framaroot 1.6 ...stock recovery ...

Yeah framaroot works awesome. Stock recovery works too. Commands are little funny. Entering everything ith volume up, volume down is for down
Finally got CWM working. The procedure of installing is fairly simple but I had to browse through few czech and russian forums to get the recovery.img.
This procedure doesn't need PC at all. Everything is done on your phone. Just follow these few simple steps.
1. First of all, you should be rooted. If not, use Framaroot to do that (fairly simple to do and pretty much "one click" stuff)
2. Next, install MobileUncle MTK Tools (available here )
3. Now, download the attached recovery.img and transfer it to the root of your SD card.
4. Open MobileUncle and grant root permission if asked.
5. Once it is open, choose "recovery update" on the main screen.
6. You should be able to see your recovery.img first on the list. Below are some other recovery images found online but DO NOT chose those.
7. When tapped your recovery.img it will ask "use recovery file: recovery.img (5620Kb)?" - tap Yes.
8. Within seconds, it is flashed and it will ask if you want to reboot to recovery... choose Yes.
9. That's it. You have fully functional CWM
Now, if you want to backup your device in CWM please note that the backup folder may grow pretty large if you are using SD Ext (which is pretty much a must with this device) so make sure that you have enough space on your SD card before you perform backup.
P.S. browsing through the czech and russian forums, I've found couple of pretty functional ROMs (there are few MIUI ports and one Xperia C port). I'm going to test those in the next couple of days and if it works, I'll share it here.
Cheers.

Okay so i found this xperia ported miui rom for Prestigio 5044 and it works great . I would send a link but it's my first post here and I can't post outside links, just search google for "COLLECTION OF MIUI PORTED ROMS FOR VARIOUS DEVICES" and the first one should be it.
Then scroll down until you see prestigio 5044 and download.
I would like to know if anyone has got some other roms for this device.

Too bad we can't flash their roms.. Prestigio done something to the bootloader so we can't boot their kernel properly. Probably by flashing Lava's uboot, we could do it. Effort oz for otg support that prestigio disabled

hi to all,
i just fuond this thread and i hope that someone can help me.. Pleasee!
My first post and it's already a mess.
I explain my situation shortly:
I download framaroot and installed the boromir expansion, by the way everything until i made a mess. I deliberately deleted the browser that is a core application. The result is that the phone is blocked. I didn't done anything else. Now my pc won't recognize the phone, or to be more specific is still recognized but only in recovery mode, and activating "install from adb". The pc recognizes it like an htc dream.. Thanks to adb, i've tried to install the firmware version, in hoping to come back to the stock version and undo, but the installlation is completed but the phone still not workin.
When i turn on the device it starts with boot animation logos and then SOME it's not working and the phone is blocked.
Can someone save me?
thanks to all for reading me, and losing your time. I made a mess.

I tried different version without flashing them, only by installing the zip, and i would like to install the last prestigio version, or a clean version with just root..
Is it possibile?
By the way everything seems to work with these custom roms, but not the phone itself, i have the broadband and imei, but it doesn't recognize the sim cards, to be more specific the IMSI number.

All the stock versions from the site are down. You need to get some othernrom. I prefer either miui or coloros. As for the other thing, if it doesnt work after flash its hardware related

Yep indeed, infact i put again imei and now it's working, but the only thing i don't know which value to set in at for second sim. It's always hard! To me is a factory problem.
I've installed the bean version instead. It's working, i love it but i don't know exactly how to install\update xposed framework and gravity box tools. When u install, it magically appears on ur sd card a folder called "xposed disabled". It's still not working.
I would like to change columns in UI system.

(Forgive the lack of pretty formatting, posting from the tab)
Tip Number One: Install xposed framework, terminal emulator and Android tuner/ROM toolbox pro
For those of you who have already done this, you will agree as to how important these apps are for any modding done to an android without flashing a custom ROM or kernel.
For xposed, go here and follow the instructions:

You can find the terminal emulator app on the play store, and also the android tuner app.

Xposed installer is compatible with the device
have been using it for a while now
unfortunately the only way to recover is to update using the stock firmware from the huawei site
clockworkmod recovery I'm working on, using the online recovery builder. will start a new thread for that
and the only recovery this device currently has is not like clockworkmod but more like download mode.
I've checked

Update: It not work... the recovery image isn't signed and the bootloader lockit. to make it work we need huawei crc key sign, or wait for huawei release the opensource firmware for s7-701u...
That's very true, and I've emailed them to that very effect

You can't go to fastboot in the s7-701u beacouse it CPU is a rockchip rk3168. and Rockchip have his own "fastboot" method, by the way huawei is locking this method...
i has been conected via Rkdownload mode usin "Fashtool" "RkTool" and "RkFlashKit"software but nothing really work except to dump partitions on pc disk.
Rkdownload mode do not use "fastboot" command, and beacouse this we can't unlock the bootloader.
:crying:
More information about this here
PD: To have future custom rom for our device, we really need huawei release s7-701u open source code firmware.

Nubia Z7 (nx506J) working with Google Apps.

I have a nubia z7 with rom version 2.05 (Android 5 and Nubia UI 3), with google apps working without problems. Even youtube.
It took 3 days to figure out how to do it, without rooting the phone.
But some tools are needed...
I upgraded my phone rom (which came with version 2.26, a modified 1.26), put rom 2.02 then 2.03 and at last 2.05, which is the last one in nubia chinese site.
I used nubia rom updater, for the roms version 2.02 and 2.03 you have to decompress to each folder and point nubia updater to that folder.
The last one (version 2.05), i used option update of the phone.
Then uninstalled every chinese app. Downloaded gapps micro for android 5.0.1 and copy to the internal storage.
Then rebooted the phone with TWRP and installed the zip file. With TWRP root the phone, in advanced menu.
After that, i reboot into android system and made login into google play and updated everything.
It's a google phone now.
I think this should work for Nubia Z7 mini and Nubia Z7 Max
I hope this help someone

hi, i'm Senh0r. I had logged with an old account.
now you can uninstall all chinese apps ,that you don't want.
then copy file gapps to internal storage.
Check if you have port ADB selected, by inserting on dial number *#7678# , if not, select it.
Now run the TWRP, which is in chinese, when the menu show up, choose option 3 and wait for the phone reboot into TWRP.
When you enter in TWRP, on bottom of screen you can choose english language.
After that is only to install the zip file. don't check for signature.
Now it's only need to reboot phone.
To enter on TWRP you need always to run the program to reboot your phone.
Anything ask
greetings
Thanks for that. I got them installed but when I boot the phone I get a google services has stopped and the phone shuts down I'm
Not sure what I did wrong

update to 2.05 no problem
But after installing gapps it crashes in the setup phase
any ideas ?
Did you rooted the phone before installing gapps by twrp?
Rooted from twrp, installed gapps, rebooted.
After a few minutes it started, google setup wizard.
It crashes with an exception.
Gonna give it a shot in a few
Call me an idiot, but I didn't make a backup of the delivered stock ROM KitKat 2.26.
Please have you guys an image? I am stuck for good.
And cleaned the cache and dalvik partition too? Mine its working with no problems.
Cleaned cache etc.
I could hit me for being so stupid to forget backing the original ROM up.
I can easily go to a stock Chinese ROM but at least a KitKat Google ROM would be nice.
Señor or anyone, can you provide a image of 2.26?
Unfortunately I didn't backup it either , but soon I will create a zip file with my Rom with Google apps installed.
I will check Nubia site for older roms too.
Getting the hands on an 1.26 is relatively easy, but the googlefied 2.26 seems to be rather hard to find ...

Hi, I have my phone with 2.26, I have rooted it with kingo, if you can provide me a custom recovery I can do a nandroid back up of complete rom.
Hi Steveyknoxville, Señor shared a custom recovery based on twrp and that works very well. I would really appreciate if you could provide us with the 2.26 ROM
The link is in the first posting of this thread.

Hi, I have read that senor twrp does not work on 4.4.2, are you confirming it does. My biggest question I need answered before I do anything is, if I install twrp how do I go back to stock recovery so I can do Ota updates to get to lollipop. Thanks.
Sorry but I can't confirm weather it fully works or not. I followed señor's guide and updated the phone. But if I recall the thread correctly from nubia cn forums the stock ROM should be a slightly modified twrp anyways.
Try just going into the recovery mode.
You should be able to backup the ROM.
Thanks for the invested time.

Dude! I second this motion! The phone's a beast but boy does the stockrom suck.
Cant wait for some talented guys to do a custom rom for this phone. Im very happy with the hardware, only the rom is a little bit wanky.
I have had this phone for three weeks now.
It's a truly fantastic device! Hardware is good, makes great pictures and the massive battery can last me for 12 hours without changing it. Let me clarify that my Note 4 was able to stay alive without my spare 3000mAh Samsung battery for no more than 4-6 hours.
The only complaint i have with the Power is that YouTube, as well as RadioYouTube are lagging here and there. I tried few tweaks form the Developer options to reduce the lag, but not much improve was noticed.
So, a good custom ROM to eliminate the issues and make it even better would make this device a real leader in reliability and satisfacton.
i dont know but i have a feeling one 6.0 is released some custom roms should come out, no point making them yet with it coming out in the next week or two (or three with the current delays), cant wait though, getting mine today hopefully!
I would like to notice that front camera on stock android 5.1 really sucks! It's just terrible, when I flashed android 6 it's way better but still it's sharphing photos to much... In video recording there is no problem so I am 100% sure that's software problem. Hope it will get solved with some custom android 6 rom . This is just an info for future developers.
custom rom
I found custom rom on needrom. It's ported from leagoo shark. I'am using it and better than stock rom. If anyone build a custom rom, i will try.

No CM version.
I heard that Ulefone Compagny has given some devices (Ulefone Power) to ROM Developpers.
So We could maybe get some custom roms or port from another devices in a early future
Rooting uleFone Power
Hi all. As posted earlier, there are instructions on the Ulefone blog on how to root the device.
http://blog.ulefone.com/how-to-root-ulefone-power/
Here's a quick rundown. I'm also uploading all the tools I downloaded and used to my Google Drive.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzqEmGyNP_v6cWdZVU5rRnpmbDQ
If you rather get the things directly from the Ulefone Blog then do so.
DRIVERS
Based on checks, it's probably best to install the driver directly. One of the instructions given is to turn off the phone and connect it to the PC. When I did this nothing happened, and I only started to get some results when I turned on the phone while connected. At this point it flashed very quickly that there was an MTK device but drivers weren't installed. After installing the drivers on the system and doing this again, it managed to install the drivers properly. I also noticed that booting the device with VOL+/POWER gave me the option of installing the drivers also. As stated on the site - you may need to disable driver signing for Windows 8/10.
TWRP
This part is pretty straightforward. Unzip all of the files. Run the SP FLASH TOOL. Enable USB CHECKSUM in the options for SP FLASH TOOL. Locate the scatter file for TWRP and hit the download button while the phone is off. If nothing happens for you, simply turn the phone on while it's connected and the download button is already pressed. It will prevent the phone from booting and flash TWRP directly. You may go into TWRP by holding VOL+/POWER until you get the menu for normal/fastboot/recovery and select recovery. Please bear in mind that at this menu, the VOL+ cycles the options and the VOL- selects/confirms the option.
ROOT
Once you've completed the TWRP installation, start TWRP and allow modification of the system partition. Select the options to reboot into the system and then swipe to install SuperSU and root the device. That's it - you're done!
Screenshots and photos will follow.
Hey there!
Any news of a custom ROM for the ulefone power?

ulefone power 5 twrp and root!!

hi guys
after a lot searching around i could not find any guide on xda to install twrp on power 5.yes i have come across other models but not this specific one .then searching on net i came to know one of guide to install twrp..after trying whole day i finally go through unlocking boot loader and flashing twrp. but problem i am facing is i cant reboot my phone into custom recovery it would reboot into its own android recovery.
any ideas what could be wrong or there is special recovery.img for ulefone power 5.
what could be that i cant figure out
I have the same problem
I dont know when some tech or expert will solve our problem..
head to 4pda.ru and check there, from what I have read it's seems they made it (not without hassle, though).
Thanks mate i will have look and get back to you
I have the same problem, I follow the russian guide too, it doesn't work.
Any luck with this guys?
I followed instructions from 4PDA, however,
1) if I flash ROM v1 I can get into TWRP but the screen EVERYWHERE looks broken (so, something with the drivers is messed up)
2) if I flash ROM v2 I cannot boot into TWRP, as it it just isn't there.
I tried both methods of flashing files, with MDT tool and via ADB/Fastboot, the results are the same.

I just got the upgraded Power 5S, and was also wondering if there is any root method for it. From what I have been reading and gathering, it seems there is no sure way just yet. If anyone has any luck, please do let us know.

No custom ROMs as far as I know.
Don't expect to see those anytime soon. Custom ROMs require a large user base. This one will have a marginal amount of users.
Rooting should however be possible. You can use Google translate to navigate 4PDA forums and install TWRP.

The issue is that there are a couple of mixed results on the rooting. I haven't actually seen proof of any working.
Russians say it's working for them.
There rooting sticks if you delete a file mentioned in their tutorial, a file located in /system folder, before rebooting for the first time.
https://www.stupdroid.com/2018/07/root-twrp-ulefone-Power-5.html
Worked for me after trying 2-3 times.
But Using root with Galaxy S launcher(my preferred one) not stable for long, after some time it starts giving issues. If you load twrp and then root, then continue using stock launcher. Xposed working too, but most of the modules not compatible with Oreo 8.1.
Note : DONT load ANRC and similar modules of Xposed which alter basic root files, your phone will refuse to boot and you will have to load the OS again. Gravity Box also starts giving issues after some time. I use an older version of Whatsapp extensions, Xwifi(Wifi name in status bar) and status bar download progress. These 3 are all I need.

Same guide, works but once you unlock bootloader and load twrp your internal memory will get wiped out so make sure you backup and reload important files
TWRP 3.2.3
So my UMIDIGI Plus E got stolen a few days ago (thanks to the thief for helping me get rid of that piece of junk) - I have the Ulefone Power 5 now. None of the TWRPs I could find worked for me, so I ported it from TWRP I found for the Power 3 (and tested it - it's working). So I uploaded it to my MediaFire account (and have the link), but I've never posted on XDA before so I can't post the link to it here because I don't have 10 posts yet....
I've uploaded it to Needrom dot com, but it has not yet been reviewed. You guys can try to search for it there.
If I could, then I would've uploaded it here.
UPDATE: I've just posted it at the My Digital Life forums under the title: TWRP 3.2.3 for Ulefone Power 5 (and 5S)

not working for me , always the ulefone recovery !
have you flashed recovery img which is under your zip ?
I've done the same and not working
Sorry to ask, but is there a clear solution/instruction? I've tried to flash the img. files provided by jojy thomas, but my phone would just request me to enter my casual password with the on-screen keyboard crashing, just to tell me that the decryption failed and have me factory reset my phone. I couldn't get into TWRP in any way, and just had to go along with everything else.
