You would have an easier time finding solutions to the minor issues in your custom ROM than you would porting a ROM to your device. Its not likely that you would get the port done correctly on your first try, that means you would cause several bootloops and probably a few softbricks before you got it, maybe even hard brick your device.

Your custom ROMs won't have those issues and you won't soft or hard brick your device as long as you use only ROMs made for your model number.

Upgrading kernel for Similar device

On this post http://xdaforums.com/micromax-a110/development/rom-mmx-a110-t2972561, I can see that a ne Kernel for Micromax a110 is developed by superdragonpt &qus1 (Github Repo- Branch Master). I have a similar MTK 6577 device. Now I wanted to port this Kernel to my device.

Please teach me how to port it or tell me the steps to do that. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for Quick reply.

I found how to port the kernel, but the thing is that my kernel is 3.4.0 and I kernel I wanted to port is 3.4.67. The link I mentioned is telling that it is new kernel for Micromax A110, which I can not use for my device. I need to do some changes. So I am requesting if anybody documented how they did it, it would be very helpful.

Hey all!!

I m going to migrate from my old and rooted Xperia P to the HTC One ME.. Till the warranty is applicable, I'm not going to root the HTC but I wanted to backup my whatsapp app "with data" and restore it to HTC... So I was thinking of doing it with adb.. But as the allowbackup line in androidmanifest.xml is set to false, I can't backup it.. I decompiled it, set it to true and recompiled it.. But after signing it with an app called "Zip Signer" which is available on play store, whatsapp is not installing.. It is showing error in parsing the package.. So can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

PS:- I am using apktool for decompiling and recompiling the apk..
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You may find answers to that if you search through all threads you can find for micromax a110 or threads for porting your mtk model. No one said it was gonna be easy. Read through thread after thread after thread until you find your answer, that is what those threads were created for. I'm sure you aren't the first person to ask about this. Its your device, don't expect someone else to find or give you all your answers, you found a good starting point on your own, I'm sure you can find the rest for yourself.

Post your questions about in the thread that you started with. I'm sure someone there can point you closer to an answer.

There are apps designed to backup whatsapp and other apps like it. I think SMS backup is one of them, Titanium backup would be another I believe. You're going the hard route when there are much easier options available.

I have a droid razr m. It seems to be that it is impossible to unlock the bootloader. I've learned that safestrap can work without unlocking the bootloader. I've looked for the safestrap apk, but it doesn't seem to be avaliable. Is there any way I can get safestrap, or is there any way else I can flash a custom recovery?

i downloaded kingoroot for pc and tried it and it didnt work said it failed.

i downloaded the latest zipfile from chainfire for supersu 2.46 zipfile.

i put it on my phone and went into recovery mode.

once in recovery mode where do i go to locate the file?

do i have to update from bootloader, cache, theres also several other choices but im still not sure.

i was going to try use odin 3 but idk which to select like bl, ap, cp, csc? would this method work to put supersu zipfile onto my phone?

Hope to hear back from you and Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Safestrap works on locked bootloader, don't know where you read that it doesn't.

If there are any temp recoveries for your model you can do it that way.

You can't permanently flash anything with a locked bootloader on most if not all devices.

No, not "adb", its "adb devices"
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
You can also backup apps and app data with ADB.

adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\Users\NAME\backup.ab to save it (replacing "NAME" with your windows user name).

and adb restore C:\Users\NAME\backup.ab to do a restore (changing "NAME" again, of course).
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Flashing SuperSU.zip in stock recovery only works on the very old android devices.

If you use Odin, you'll need either a CF auto root for your model but you wont need the superSU.zip, its already included in CF auto root.

Or you can get a TWRP for your model and flash it with Odin in the AP slot then boot to TWRP and flash superSU.zip in TWRP. Make sure autoreboot is UNCHECKED in Odin when you flash TWRP.

Odin is for Samsung devices, if you don't have Samsung then you can't use it.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It can't flash custom ROMs with locked bootloader, but it can backup/restore your stock ROM, that is the most important function of custom recovery. The ability to flash custom ROMs is a lesser function.

It can also be used with adb to interface the device while in recovery.

It can also flash modified stock flashable zips.

No, if YOULL read, they back up DATA also, are you blind? Especially the one that discusses using the PC to move the Apk AND the data to PC then moving them to the other device.

Afternoon Matey, you could try opening the original WhatsApp apk with x-plore on your phone (in configuration set open apk as zip) or 7zip on your pc and replace the original manifest xml with the one from the compiled amended apk, this should not break the original signature from the original apk.

Let us know if this lets the apk install? ☕?

Whatsapp and its data are not in any part of system folder, app data is stored in your android folder on sdcard(which the PC method DOES backup of you choose that folder). I've pulled, saved and moved app data that way many times and put that data back in a new ROM.

Im not to familliair with rooting except the autoroot from chainfire and flashing some custom roms.

Im trying to figure out how to root 5.1.1 but without the TWRP im completely lost. I tried everything to flash it but nothing seems to work so i cant reboot in recovery.

Hopefully anyone out here who can help me.

---------- Post added 3rd January 2016 at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was 2nd January 2016 at 11:56 PM ----------

From what I have read so far this MIGHT solve your problem:

1.Download an older version of twrp in .TAR and download the latest version of twrp in a flashable .zip

2. Put the latest version of twrp in flashable .zip in your sd card.

3. Flash the older version of twrp using odin

*IF THAT DOESNT WORK THE CONSIDER FLASHING CWM RECOVERY USING ODIN FIRST BUT STILL PUT A .ZIP TWRP RECOVERY IN YOUR SD CARD*

*IF THAT WORKED AND YOU CAN BOOT TO THE OLDER VERSION OF RECOVERY*

4. Find the twrp recovery that you put in your sd card and flash it

5. Reboot recovery.
