Full KitKat version flashable via SP FLASH TOOL

Full KitKat version flashable via SP FLASH TOOL

AS PROMISED HERE YOU GO WITH HOW TO DO IT:

1)

first and mandatory

to do with MTK DROID TOOL make a backup of your NVRAM ( IMEI basically ). phone

must be rooted

to do this operation.....you will get one folder called BackupNVRAM where MTK DROID TOOL basically saved 2 files as backup...those 2 files will look similar to the below two files I put as example:

G750_358576010039565_nvram_140530-161702.bin

G750_358576010039565_nvram_140530-161702.tar

Once you have the NVRAM fully backed up ( as said those two files ), you are quite safe and you can proceed with further steps

2)download the

KITKAT original 4.7.16 stock rom

I put in clear and prepared for you:

G750-T00_4.7.16_SPFT.rar ( tot 921.9 MB )

https://mega.co.nz/#!Nwpziara!9y1VitCix5Vx_6zwPtGpB6mTxlpHEAxIqUODCz4dl-s

The RECOVERY.IMG included in this package is the

ORIGINAL STOCK RECOVERY

......I left the original stock recovery in the package to provide you an original package as Huawei released.

Now, once exctraced the zip file into a folder on your desktop, REPLACE the original RECOVERY.IMG with the CWM 5.5.0.4 RUA1 recovery (here the download link: https://mega.co.nz/#!d4ImySia!USsY-8jeiYaUHdqr-mlLLgjHlk8ObvEbQadStrQLgLI ) , of course the CWM Recovery must be named as well recovery.img

to be recognized by the scatter file

....

3) load the WHOLE rom on SP FLASH TOOL, (use SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1409.03 as tested working version for the flash)

.....turn off the phone.....SELECT FORMAT ALL + DOWNLOAD on SP FLASH TOOL

you will have this in the end:

press DOWNLOAD button, and then ( only then ) plug in your phone (phone must be switched off and with battery )...

of course VCOM drivers must be installed already

TO HELP YOU ON VCOM installation : mypost #345 ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52201869&postcount=345 )

4) now be patient, first SPFT will FORMAT ALL BLOCKS, then will flash the phone, in total will need around 8/10 minutes

once flash completed successfully and you have the

"OK"

....unplug the phone and you can turn it on...first boot will take a while....you will see the phone will boot as it was just released from the factory asking to chose language and basic initial parameter to set up the phone to working, but this time with kitkat running :)

5) 99% you will not have anymore your IMEI on the phone, but you have done NVRAM backup so there will be no problem, tested by me guys be quite :)

6) on the phone go to settings and activate the

"usb debugging"

to enable the DEVELOPER OPTION ( where inside there is the flag to activate the debugging mode ) go to

about the phone

and tab continuesly and fast on SERIES NUMBER ( EMUI2.3_GT750-T00_4.7.16 )

you will see a countdown will start while you're tapping saying in the end you are a developer.....then going back and you can finally see developer option into the settings and find out debugging mode, and activate it

another important thing you must activate is the settings/security/Unknown source

activate it flagging the option, this will allow you to install apks from sdcard.

7) now, having the CWM RECOVERY INSTALLED, swicth off the phone. and reboot the phone into CWM recovery by pressing ( AND KEEPING PRESSED ) volume up + volume down + power button.....basically all phisical buttons of our honor

8) phone will boot into RUA1 recovery mode....chose install zip file and flash the script to get root access ( script that you already have downloaded and put on your phone external sdcard, or internal sdcard makes no difference) last download of this great script can be found at this link: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

9) reboot the phone and you will see SUPERSU installed, tap on it to get confirmation is working as should be....

10)

remove immutable list

( my previous post #152 ) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51331587&postcount=152

1) have your phone ROOTED

2 + 3 )

INTSTALL BUSYBOX AND TERMINAL EMULATOR

by downloading those two apks from this post, find it attached as Busybox_Terminal.zip

you don't have still the PLAYSTORE installed at this point... that's why I gave you both apks to be copied manually on sdcard and install them manually just pressing on it and confirm,.....both apks anyway can be downloaded also with other application like aptoide for exampe

BUSYBOX from PLAYSTORE ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....busybox&hl=it )

terminal emulator from PLAYSTORE ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roidterm&hl=it )

or if you have ADB SHELL installed on your PC you can avoid to install terminal emulator and perform the point 4 by ADB SHELL

4)open HyperTerminal / ADB SHELL

5)digit "su" ( without " " ) to get permission - enter

6)digit "mount -o rw,remount /system" ( without " " ) - enter

7)digit "cd system" ( without " " ) - enter

8)digit "lsattr" ( without " " ) - enter

PS: you will see here a list of files and also you will see the F R E E K I N G "set_immutable.list"

9)digit "chattr -R -i *" ( without " " ) – enter ( can be that command is not functioning on KITKAT but it's not an issue, try it and in case move to the next command 10

10)digit "rm –f /system/set_immutable.list" ( without " " ) - enter

this will remove the immutable.list

last)digit "lsattr" ( without " " ) - enter

now the set_immutable.list should be gone....

11) connect the phone to MTK DROID TOOL, press ROOT button and the option to use the already SU binary file to get root-shell will be proposed you...accept and confirm, and you will get MTK DROID TOOL into GREEN root shell

12) then RESTORE your NVRAM with MTK DROID TOOL, restore those two files basically you have backed up prior to flash the kitkat rom:

mtk droid will search for first

G750_358576010039565_nvram_140530-161702.bin

then will serach for

G750_358576010039565_nvram_140530-161702.tar

once restore process is complete, you will see your IMEI coming back on the mtk droid screen and if you have a data sim into the phone you will get immediatly back the line...

in case the IMEI is not appearing, don't you worry, just reboot the phone and you will see phone gets the line once boot process is complete....

13 ) Google GAPPS for kitkat ( by me )

finally here is the time to install the gapps and have the basic stuff syncronized ( calendar and contacts )

as explained already in some other posts, we are running out of space on system rom, kitkat it's bigger then JB ...so the gapps I prepared are basically flashing the basic files to allow syncronization....all the rest of ( personal opinion ) unnecessary application will not be installed with this package, at least

not installed in the system rom

where there is no space.

you will definitely decide what to install by simply download what you need from play store / aptoide etc by yourself

Gapps_KitKat_4.4.2_softpackage.zip 51.0 MB

https://mega.co.nz/#!F9QhHYRS!ZfP5w9SdbWUcyptA8_hlfPReeK0gWxQsnC95ASmMRrY

the package I created is to flash gapps on

a fresh clean 4.7.16 kitkat installation!!!

into the package , on top of mandatory apks that will be installed on system/app and on priv-app I included some other apks that I think can help you...will be installed into the DATA partition, meaning

you can uninstall it without root permission and simply tapping on apk and move to the trash

....

here what I put inside:

google play store

google street viewer

rootexplorer 3.1.9 - last release :)

sound apk control

google voice for the map navigator

google play service ( moved from system rom to data ) optimizing space

some others...

NOW THE CALL ID IS WORKING AND YOU WILL SEE WHO IS CALLING YOU IF NUMBER IS ON YOUR CONTACT LIST - ISSUE SOLVED

If you follow exactly what I posted, you will get a full working kitkat rom, rooted, gapps installed and optimized....

LAST BUT NOT LEAST: I'm not responsible for any damage you can get on your phone due to any incorrect flash or operation you do without knowing what you are doing....DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

hope this will help a lot of peaople, the real scope for me to be here

cheers, ciao!

with the new kitkat rom you have by default just few themes installed and active.

here is a collection of THEMES i basically put together including the iOS7 theme and the MIUIV5 theme.

HWThemes.zip ( total 205.2 MB )

https://mega.co.nz/#!48RjyK7L!pRaU3vX-HlYiH07dACJuKKDYNqxztHmvZEydshE3B9A

download this package, exctract the zip and copy the themes ( with rootexplorer or similar apk ) into your internal SDCARD,

here where to copy those themes:

sdcard0/HWThemes/ copy here

you will see when you open then the themes apk all themes will be loaded and you can chose one ot those being now locally for you

cheers
