Hallo Sir,

I am providing below few urls and you just click them and go and read carefully. Follow the instructions there it will help you to root the pone.

Before that you need install all the required drivers. For example if you switch your device from USB mode to MTP mode then minimum of 4 or 4 or 5 drivers should pop up in the wnidows 7 system

I advise you to install Android SDK also.

i also tried SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01. preloader is not selected. preloader.bin missing. but, could be selected. on starting 'download', nothing happens. whole thing just gets greyed out.

can someone upload/link the correct driver file for my os? or guide me properly to flash this rom. thanks a lot.

[Xolo Q3000] m0han:
has anyone successfully installed the rom? if so, please post

os

,

drivers

&

spf tools

used. there may be people wanting to try.

well, i've not yet been successful in installing the rom. i've sought help here. would be nice if someone could render some good advice.

btw, someone already on kitkat rom may flash the recovery (ctr v2.5) alone from puduraja's file to see if it works / supports kitkat roms.

the dev and the community could do with some encouragement. let's have some feedback, guys! thank you.

+1 there

however i dont thing driver are that necessary

I had generic android drivers that have worked for all my devices Samsung G3, Lg P500, Galaxy Tab, and Xolo q3000

even for flashing

i used odin for galaxy 3 and spflashtools for q3000 without anyother drivers

i have 7 gb internal partition so it worked

but just install whatever u can just to be on the safer side

Flashed stock kitkat rom with CTR v2.5 recovery Of puduraja sir. Thanks a lot sir I desp wanted a kitkat with working recovery for try some stuffs. I was on KitKat ROM prior to flashing. its successful sir. But supersu is not so fast in providing root permission in KitKat. Thus I un-rooted and re-rooted using rootgenius to get kinguser its perfect for KitKat ROM as far I have tried.

CTR 2.5 have no root issues can flash ROMs, mods, np with that.

But can't able to take backup. Backing up data will be aborted and i couldn't restore too. May be only I'm facing it or not. I don't know.

Gravity box kk is the same. Can't change some options

ROM is complete with perfect root and working recovery

No issues found yet other that low signal for 3G which I found is common bug for all kitkat ROMs and when I open camera auto brightness is disabled and switch to full brightness which won't turn back to auto brightness after closing camera

Even flashed rooted KitKat rom of puduraja sir. Through CTR v2.5

[/QUOTE]

Dear Sir,

I saw the post just now. Then I checked my by going back to SP Flash ROM with kernel 3.4.5 and then flashed the rom with kernel 3.4.67, the rom you just tried. It is working fine with boots after 1.2 minutes for the display to pop up.

I saw your first 2 pictures. Your driver and flash tool and every thing is perfect. But you have ticked the pre-loader but you not loaded the pre-loader before download, take your mouse button to the pre-loader place and click, then automatically the cursor will go to your loaded file and search for the preloader.bin file, place it and click it. Your pop up should look like in the second pictures.

View attachment 2850477

The preloader.bin provides the path to send all the files to the respective locations. Without preloader the phone may not fuction properly. Also if you wrongfully select the preloader.bin then the phone will show soft-brick nature.

Then go for software update and flash as usual. Still if you face problem. You do Format except Boot loader operation and re flash it.

There is no need for any other drivers, your system is already have all the necessary tools to function.

Please try and report.

Thanks

[MENTION=4685050]puduraja[/MENTION], any progress with this rom? i mean, have you been able to make the "recovery flash ROM to

suit the 3.4.5 kernel bearing earlier model phones

also"?

i'm waiting in the hope that you'll succeed in this endeavour, since, try as i might, i've not been able to install kitkat rom on my device yet. i'm actually laughing at myself. :o

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

[MENTION=5281536]Jagadish-ravi[/MENTION], do you experience all those troubles after flashing "recovery flash ROM" as well?

if so, it could mean one thing - the ctr 2.5 is not fully kitkat-compatible. :mad:

aren't you living dangerously - without ways to do a backup and restore? or, have you found other means?

[MENTION=4790877]avi3230[/MENTION], with your 'kk-work' based on [MENTION=4233399]hadiyalkishan[/MENTION]'s files and cwm v6.0.2.8 recovery,

safe backup and restore possible

?

[MENTION=5281536]Jagadish-ravi[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4790877]avi3230[/MENTION], can you guys do a backup with this script? and then, a restore from recovery? please try & report. thanks.
[Xolo Q3000] mcd_legend:
i also dont worry about backup restore too much

i find it always more convenient to flash a fresh rom via recovery or flash tool then just titanium backup them

my kernel version: 3.4.5

i dont knw i am confused do we have to convert our kernel to a newer version to make this rom work or do i just have to flash it frm recovery without doing anything.. please help me me...

thank you sir
[Xolo Q3000] m0han:
the dev guys do not seem to be around. so, let me respond.....

wonder how you missed the 'bold red' warning NOTE. :)

flash stock rom using sp flash tools. try several times/versions of rom/tool.

good luck with that. and be prepared to be frustrated beyond belief. :fingers-crossed:

but, first - for your own sake, at least - read the posts in the thread well.
[Xolo Q3000] mhp1995:
I am sorry i read the Note but was not sure which file to be flashed..Now i have downloaded the kernel from:

I open spflash tools and loaded the scatter file everything was checked..But when i click download it shows an error "PMT changed for the Rom..It needs to be downloaded"

can u please tell me how to flash the newer kernel.and after flashing the kernel we have to flash the pre rooted kitkat rom from the recovery only..sorry i know i am troubling you guys..sorry

I am getting same error when trying to flash JB rom through sp flash tool. Try Firmware Upgrade button in the sp flash tool. it worked for me. But it format your phone memory.

[Xolo Q3000] baystallion:
I can confirm this works.. So far so good.

Note for those who want to try the ROM on page 21:

If the SP flash tool gives PMT related error, use 'firmware->upgrade' option instead. That worked for me.

ROM on page 22 works with normal flash from recovery
[Xolo Q3000] puduraja:
Dear Sir,

Sorry. You have not looked at the NOTE in red colour.

If you are in version with kernel 3.4.5 you should have first flashed the SP TOOL flashable custom rooted phone.

That is prorted in post no 201. Then you should flash this recovery version one.

Now I am away from Chennai there is siglal and network problems.

Please use SP flash tool version ending with 183 or 212.

You will get back your phone with 4.4.2 KitKat.

Just,

I am trying to provide a compact and separate Recovery flashable zip file to just convert the kernel to 3.4.67 and flash this. I am 90 % through and shall port it.

I am TRYING WITH PERL SOFTWARE and succeeded in changing the kernels.

On testing with my phone while streamlining, 3 time it bricked, same like yours 6 time I could change over. But it not yet ready for recovery flash.

Further for any problem please come to this port. I will try sincerely to help.

Sorry for the delay in reply
[Xolo Q3000] puduraja:
Now you can flash in the recovery flashable version, where you have struck with boot loop problems. The version you referred in what I Have ported has only minor changes.

The recovery flash one is goon in the sense it has more applications with full root, You can use MTK Droid too to further perform obtaining Shell Root and back up your nvram and also rom.

In the recovery flash you can get your cwm back up in lessor time as it is provided with 2.5 CTR recovery.

With best wishes.

I am still not able to get working JB for my q3000. I formated and flashed the JB stock rom here. still camera is not working. it shows black.

Any help ?
[Xolo Q3000] baystallion:
Are you trying stock jb ROM?

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 AM ----------

Puduraja sir,

Great work getting the ROM running!!!

In the flashable kk ROM in page 22, is there an issue with battery drain? Here is what I observed:

1. Took too much time to reach 75%

2. Pulled out charger. Immediately dropped down to 1% and rebooted.

3. After reboot, showed 92%.. Which I think was real value since it started draining properly from there.

Apart from this, I feel chrome usage is draining battery faster when compared to usage in stock job ROM.

Any inputs appreciated.
[Xolo Q3000] ashishji12:
Yes, trying to go to JB from stock kitkat. But camera gives black. tried all jb rom. tried format + firmware upgrade in Sp flash tools. then also no success
[Xolo Q3000] baystallion:
Earlier you had mentioned the phone had stock kk when bought.. Is there a reason you are trying to move to jb ROM?

The reason I'm asking is, maybe there is some hardware/firmware optimization for the stock kk version of the phone which is not backward compatible.

To test it, you may want to try some other mtk6589 based jb ROM (not from xolo). You might lose things like dual Sim etc.. But at least you could make sure camera hardware is not fried.

If camera comes up OK at this point, you'll have to stock to a kk ROM instead of jb.

2 cents..
[Xolo Q3000] ashishji12:
Reason for my JB flashing is because all most all custom roms now available are based on JB.
[Xolo Q3000] puduraja:
Hallo,

To make camera working carefully follow the steps it may work if it does not work port your lib file only here I can try mod and re- port here.

Now go to your GB ROM .zip

Open system folder then inside

Open lib folder

Search for only libcamera.... So files

Remove all such files what so ever that has camera word with whatever combination

Keep the folder as it is opened

Now open the original ROM that has com with your phone, that is the stock ROM when you purchased the phone

Similarly search for all libcamera.....so file

Copy all such files and paste, just track them to your GB ROM lib folder that is kept open

Now close the folder and flash

The camera will work

Best wishes
[Xolo Q3000] puduraja:
Thanks

I also noticed irregular functioning The cause is I have used the JB ROM super charger version in ROM.

Irregular figure pops at higher end when the thrust hold is above 70% some time charge is slow some time it is faster

All due to JB version applying to kit kat

But if you notice the overall total time of complete drain of battery to 5% is more than 3 hours of browsing

But playing HD videos sucks battery

I will workout

Or

Mine is only a trial and errors method. Just remove V6 Super charger folder and see

Thanks for enlightening this
[Xolo Q3000] ashishji12:
I tried this, then the rom is not booting. Stuck in xolo screen
[Xolo Q3000] puduraja:
It is fully trial and error. Now if if you remove all the files which you have pasted from lib folder and boot your phone will boot.

You put back again the original folder and change one by one see. Mainly libcameracustom.so

May be Somme tlme only 3 files you have to change. What is your kernel is it 3.4.5 or the new 3.4.67

You try one day all files will be in your finger tips and u will be a ROM editor developer.

You will have a update.zip file

- copy the update.zip file into the sdcard

-switch off the phone

-enter recovery mode by pressing volume up + power botton at a time for few seconds

- select update option

- select the downloaded update.zip file

- let it load and u have it, official kitkat by Xolo

Any working custom Marshmallow or lollipop rom for Xolo Q3000 ?

Is there any working custom Marshmallow or Lollipop ROM for Xolo q3000 ? Most ROM have SIM 2 work in Progress for 3g data or camera issues. This phone is amazing and it really needs new OS. More than one and half year but not yet full working custom rom with latest OS ?!!
[Xolo Q3000] aaayush_singh:
Most probably we will never get lollipop or Marshmallow... Xolo isn't working for this phone anymore and handset isn't very popular so we don't have a lot of developers. This is the problem with small companies like xolo that they release phones and then forget about old customers.

To my experience this may not be a bug. It is something do to with the back up and restore of contacts from gmail. I used delete duplicate contact, 4 different apk at a same time time and deleted maximum duplicate contacts and stored the new file in the sd card, I deleted the entire contact files and series in the gmail. one the contacts were added and piled to 25000 and more and slowing the contact pop up features.

Gmail has to act and see to it.

Now gmail has no contacts. I donot have any duplicate contacts now in my phone.

you also try and report to the forum. If it is due to some bug by this time may be by about 2 months I should have come across.

If we forget to untick the contact while logging in the contacts gets piled up in gmail list. So we have to do this exercise once in about a week or fortnightly.
