Ok so I'm not quite sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm going ahead ahead with it.
I recently bought a phone from the company InFocus, their Vision 3 model. I'm not sure whether it's due to the phone's recent release, but I'm unable to find a way to unlock the bootloader or find a custom ROM that would work with this phone.
If anyone could help me out here I would greatly appreciate it.
To summarize:
How do I go about unlocking the bootloader for this phone?
Where, if at all, can I find a custom ROM to flash onto the phone?
I really hope I find a way to change the OS, because their default version of Android is unbearable.
(The phone has an 18:9 display, which is uncommon. Would this affect the process in any way?
Thanks in advance!!
you will have to build one, learn how to dump the rom image followed by building a rom.

Hey, bro you can go to rom providers, since it is mediatek powered brain for unlocking you can do with a pc.Developing a custom rom for this bit difficult, but you get it.

Hi All,
I'm totally new to rooting and to be honest I never planned to get into it and especially not in this way.... please read on....
I bought a 2nd hand S3. The original owner told me it had been unlocked from Vodafone UK, but no further modifications.
So the phone arrives and I turn it on and the first thing I notice is UltimaROM asking to download their latest v9 ROM. I see other apps installed like SuperuserSU, Headphones shortcut for SGS3, S Note etc... so I suspect the device has indeed been modified. Seller tells me it's only been unlocked and nothing else. Also, comparing to a work colleague's stock S3, my phone has a different appearance (different battery % icon amongst others...), I see Nexus 4 wallpapers are available, JaiThemes etc... all looks a bit fishy to me.
Also phone does boot into recovery mode into CWM...
So I start reading a little bit, I've downloaded Rootchecker - says phone is not rooted.
All I ever wanted was a stock S3, no interest in rooting for now. Could someone please advise what I can do to get back to stock and have it unlocked? I know there are guides to un-root a phone, but rootchecker says my phone is not rooted, and I have no original backup, so I don't know where to go from here....
Any help or guidance is appreciated here...
Check the basics, there's a guide on flashing a stock ROM.
The seller is definitely lying to you

Thanks for the reply.
If I find a Vodafone UK stock ROM, will I then lock the phone back to Vodafone?
Thanks
Don't think so, but why would you get a vodafone ROM? Just get a universal one

Thanks for that, I will look for a universal one.
I've been looking for a bit, but I can't find the 'basics' section you mention in order to flash a stock ROM.
I have searched the forums, and people have mentioned ' I flashed a stock ROM' but I need to know the steps to do this...
Also - has my warranty been affected? If yes and it is now invalid, will flashing a stock ROM solve this?
Again, any help is really appreciated here.

Good day all,
Last week my phone died, so i was forced to buy a new one. I wanted to get a cheap phone with a dual core processor. With that in mind i bought myself the Alcatel One Touch X'Pop 5035D. Now don't get my wrong, i am fairly happy with the phone but i was used to phone that were rooted and had some community behind it to make that happen. Now i realise this is a fairly new phone that is a mid-end smartphone but i really hope someone could look in to this phone.
The only thread that i found about this phone was pretty much dead and i was hoping a new topic would put some new light on this phone.
I myself ain't someone that can develop anything for this phone since i just don't have the required skills to start a project like this. Now the only thing i can do is ask the following questions:
1) Is anyone able to Root this device?
2) Would it be a possibility for someone to make a ROM for this phone?
I would be able to test any upcoming ROM's or Roots, so thats no issue.
I really hope to get some responses since this phone has the hardware to run jellybean.
Oh and Alcatel released the sources on their phones on sourceforge, that might be helpfull:

Thanks in advance!

Hi, we are talking about a rom for this phone. Check the topic about rooting & recovery. If you need help or want to know more, PM me
Hey guys. Im trying to install a custom ROM for Android. I have an Alcatel Ideal, and I want to install something like Marshmallow or Nougat. At the moment I'm on Lollipop. How can I do that? Also, another question. What is TWRP and what does it do?
Thanks,
Kingstevenrules.
Well it shows you didn't do much research. You can't just flash any Android device. You have have to find out if the bootloader is unlocked. Very few devices can be flashed and updated like that and most of the low tier devices can't be at all.
In my case, "All you have to do is unlock developer options on Alcatel Idea", not working. I am unable to unlock OEM, but that not a problem, since I got root, I am good.
Look guys, just because the guy is unfamiliar with how the forums work does Not give you the right to call him an "idiot"! Chill out and point the guy in the right direction. It takes the same amount of your time either way
@Kingstevenrules Marshmallow or Nougat is not available for this cheap phone. TWRP is recovery tool, it help when your phone becomes upset.

Thread closed by OP request.
How are you guys out there this is my first time on this forum, so if I am doing anything wrong please tell me.
So here is the information of my phone, I have a HTC Desire 728g/728x and It is bootloader unlocked, rooted and flashed with TWRP Recovery.
And here is the situation, I found this phone in my Android pile and I remembered that this phone was in its stock rom which was loaded with HTC Sense. And because I am more of a flat/material person, HTC Sense just doesn't have enough customization for it to have a flat/material UI, All my other phones I managed to find AOSP, or lineage os for them in order to make them look nice in a flat/material way. But this phone, "HTC Desire 728g Dual SIM" is soooooooo rare... I can't manage to find any ROM for it. So does anyone also use this phone and have a good ROM that you can link me? Or anyone who's facing the same issue??
Also I am a newbie in the Android community (3 months) I want to check my steps in flash my ROMs and some questions on repartitioning .
1. Download the ROM and G App
2. Go to TWRP and backup
3. Wipe the phone
4. Repartition if needed
5. Flash the ROM
6. Wipe the phone again
7. Flash open G apps.
Questions:
How do you check your phones partition size and how do you know if your phone needs repartitioning, is there a way to calculate if so how?
Is there different files to flash on every different phone?
If so is there a good reliable link to repartitioning files with a good selection of phones?
Thankyou if there is anyone that can help me it would be very much appreciated and sorry for the amount of questions since I really need to get these of my chest and get an answer to everyone of them and those links are gonna help me in my future career, as my dream is to be a computer engineer and create all these kinds of stuff for people in the community to enjoy.
Thankyou ~
Hello guys
Can you guys please tell me how to get TWRP for my HTC desire 728g dual sim. I searched it so much times but can't find it any where. If any one knows how to get it please send me its link. Also please tell me how to install magisk in my device.
Thank you
Hi, i'm the owner of an Oppo Rx17 neo, and the phone is really nice: Fingerprint sensor under screen, 128gb ROM, 4gb RAM... Overall a good phone, but the only problem is Color OS. I buyed this phone because i didn't knew about Color OS (My bad). Now i'm stuck with this phone for at least two or three years, there's no other choice but keep it. Knowing this, i want to develop a custom ROM for this phone, even if i have to learn from scratch, because i don't know anything about Android Development. I'm a web developer (PHP, JavaScript, a little bit of python and C#), but i don't know where to start this journey, because for what someone told me on a Telegram group, i need a custom recovery (Like TWRP i guess?), but i couldn't find anything about it on google (I searched for it on english, i don't know anything about russian or chinesse, i guess that could've help me a lot).
So, getting to the point: Could you help me to understand how to compile TWRP for my phone, or in first place, how to know if i can even unlock the bootloader. I have installed custom ROMS before, on an Galaxy S5 and a nexus 5x, but nothing further.
Can i have some help?
Anyone? Still looking for recommendations on where to start with this.
