How about rooting method for ZTE Kis 3? As i understand, this ROM from comebuyshop is for Kis3 model. What you think guys? Will it work?
[Firefox OS General] vampirefo:
I have uploaded kitkat rooted with gapps if you guys want to try it, you have to run unlock tool first and then use fastboot to boot the recovery,

place kitkat_signed.zip on sdcard and install via custom recovery, once installed, when you try to boot back to system, you will be asked two questions answer no to both.

I tried your kitkat, but no sim and no wifi. Staying with Firefox 1.4...
[Firefox OS General] vampirefo:
Both sim and wifi works for me just fine, did you remove and reinstall sim card after installing rom?

I have uploaded modems you can flash via recovery, I have just ran several tests, my wifi and sim is working just fine, the modem controls the wifi and sim card not for sure what's going on for you.

Hi,

Total Android n00b here. Can you please give me step-by-step instructions on how to get Google Apps working on this ZTE Open C?

What unlock tool should I run?

What steps after that?

I greatly appreciate your help. I saw you uploaded a rooted version of Android 4.4 KitKat with Google Apps integrated. In order to flash that to my phone, what do I need to do?

I already flashed the Android 4.4 ROM provided by ZTE: LINK

Will that be a problem? Should I try to flash back to FireFox OS first?
[Firefox OS General] steffsb:
have you now flash the kitkat rom with gapps?

how do you do it step by step?

Devils Advocate

Alright, So I flashed Android on my Open C with the provided archives. Works fairly well, better than FFOS 1.3 IMHO. Sure, there were no gapps and I did install gapps on the phone but they kept crashing. I removed the gapps and tried again and again the gapps would install but crash. So I removed them again. I thought about it and then it hit me, when my Open C was running FFOS I never used gapps, the only thing I did was have my gmail account setup in the email application. Well, you can easily setup gmail in the default mail application. I ditched the gapps idea once I realized this, installed the Amazon app store and have been really happy with that.
[Firefox OS General] vampirefo:
Sounds good, what every works for you is the best.
[Firefox OS General] GamblerTobi:
Flash via cwm

Try flashing clockwordmod.

You can disable signing verifycation on cwm.

[Firefox OS General] AK0:
Verification fails always

You have to go around in circles and jump through monkey hoops to get any files to flash without verification failed. That is why I stopped flashing and just went back to stock Firefox OS. and before someone replies: " you have to use custom clockwork recovery to flash" . This is wrong because I was using clockwork recovery and also had flashed clockwork recovery and the files always failed verification. Even when I wanted to flash the GAPPS or SuperSU to Kitkat, with custom recovery it said verification failed. It was driving me crazy . :mad: Only thing I remember that might have worked, is deleting dalvik cache then doing a hard reboot but I can't verify for sure. Android support is very bad on this phone.

EDIT: I found out the problem probably was caused by a Chinese virus on my SD Card. It was making all my files corrupted. After I formatted the SD Card now I can flash files.
[Firefox OS General] vampirefo:
First of all you are quoting a bot try to advertise "Star Z2 android 4.2 MTK6592", which is funny that you didn't know that.

Second cwm doesn't check signatures also funny you didn't know that, no one can help you, as you don't know the difference between cwm recovery and stock recovery.
[Firefox OS General] lordvictor:
Hi I have a problem with the vampirefo rom. I've patched it for modem problems but I've noticed that camera is not working and there's no camera app. I've installed the camera app from google but no luck the camera is not found by the app.

My ZTE open C is certainly different from the ebay one (I'm french).

I know that the firefox os 1.4 and 2.0 roms from vampirefo resolved the camera problems for this os , I'm sure he has the solution for android.

Any help?
[Firefox OS General] Tiburonero:
Gallery Camara crash

You need to reinstal googles cam and gallery and it will work ok. Other option is, as you have it already rooted, instal original android, and then last supersu and gaaps and eveything works. I have done the last and crashes less than with vamps rom.

This open c is a nightmare !

I had no problem switching back and forth with the comebuy ffos and kitkat stock roms, but no gapps with kitkat so basically useless, time wasting process. Now I have found the link to the zte upgrade tool with root, rooted phone , flashed us version rom 1.3 successfully, but now cannot get OTA updates nor can I get any other Roms to flash without a failed signature error, can't even install cwm, everything comes back as failed signature errors. I know this topic has been discussed but I have not seen a bonafide in depth explanation to this nor have I seen a working step by step solution. Can anyone advise because I am ready to launch this junk phone out of the car window at 80 mph on the freeway ! LOL !! Very frustrated right now !!:mad:

Thanks, but tried that method failed to load.

Yeah, thanks tried that method, directions were a bit flakey though. I got error message unable to load three times. Something weird going on with this phone since I did the update tool flash update . All I want to do is get back to the kitkat os , not working too well !
[Firefox OS General] mojojojo67:
thats how i made it:

(just google for"modaco zte open cwm")

00.) Power off your device

01.) Remove the SIM-card!!! and insert a FAT32 formatted microSD-card with the ZIPs you like to install

02.) Power on your device

03.) Connect the phone to your PC

04.) Open a terminal and type:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

[now it should list ur device ]

fastboot boot recovery-cwm6050-kis3.img

(DON'T flash this img!!!)

--> Then CWM is only temporarily active / the stock boatloader will not be overwritten

08.) Now CWM runs and you can install your ZIPs

09.) Go to "advanced" -> "power off".

Prompt "yes" when you will be asked for fix root rights.

Don't forget to insert your SIM-Card after that!!
[Firefox OS General] Dobby420:
Did you use the vanilla software update app in the firefox OS since rooting/flashing? You need to apply the 06 update first then install the .zip file to install android. I wonder if the update software app has upgraded to a newer version, which would explain why you're getting signature errors. I got the signature error and mine is the ebay exclusive version. All I have done is update via the software update app which means it is now a greater version than 06. I'm about to install the FFOS EU zip package from the link in the post above.

This will correct it to the EU Ebay exclusive 06 version, then I will flash android zip. I'll let you know what the results are very soon.

Best way to check would be to see if it says 06 in the version info when you boot up recovery mode and if it mentions ebay or not.
[Firefox OS General] N2Deep916:
Still no luck !

I tried the FFOS US 06 update, funny thing is it went all the way through the update and confirmed to be successfully updated and when I turned phone on to check the revision number it was exactly the same as before I updated which is FFOS US 04. I really don't know what to try next. Another strange thing is in the settings information directory on my open c "Git commit info" states 2014-05-04 20:51:26 unknown anyone know what that means ? I have tried everything, seems like the impossible at this point.

There are couple of KK Roms, try for yourself as we all have different test and preferences. Thread closed as in XDA no Best ROM/Kernel threads are allowed
[Galaxy S 5 General] roman.blachman:
If you interested in extracting the kernel image from the Samsung Galaxy S5 ROM, you should follow the following steps.

This is was tested with the G900VVRU1ANCG_G900VVZW1ANCG_VZW stock ROM firmware.

The first is extracting the files from the ROM firmware file, this is explained in many places and won't be covered here.

Extract the boot.img to some directory, using the Android unpackbootimg utility:

unpackbootimg -i boot.img -o boot/

After extracting the boot.img file you will usually end up with the following file list:

boot.img-base
boot.img-cmdline
boot.img-pagesize
boot.img-ramdisk.gz <- this includes the root (/) files, like init*.rc and SELinux policy files
boot.img-zImage <- compressed image of the Android Linux kernel

Next step will be extracting the compressed kernel image from the zImage file. The Android kernel is a self-extracting compressed file, while different devices use different compression methods. While looking at the file contents using hex editor, you can see the decompression code at the beginning, and then at some point the compressed data begins. The compressed image begins where you find the LZO magic header.

static const unsigned char lzop_magic[9] = {
0x89, 0x4c, 0x5a, 0x4f, 0x00, 0x0d, 0x0a, 0x1a, 0x0a
};

Save the data from the LZO magic header to the end of the file with the zImage.kernel file name.

This firmware and kernel are using LZO compression, and there is an easy to use utility called lzop that is used for the decompression of the file. Just run the following command to decompress the kernel from the zImage.kernel file:

lzop -d -c zImage.kernel > zImage.kernel.decompressed

And now you have the decompressed kernel for the device ready for exploration, which is also attached to this post.

Note:

I've tried using different scripts that do the job, including galaxys2_kernel_repack and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=901152 but both failed while extracting the kernel image, although were able to extract the begin position for the LZO compression header.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lcmazza:
But it does trip KNOX after flashing, doesn't it?
[Galaxy S 5 General] gigasai:
I tried that and was given a warning of trailing bytes by `lzop`. Later when i do a `file` command on the resulting uncompressed file, it is not a vmlinux ELF image, rather it is a data file. How are we able to repack this image back into zImage? Any advise is appreciated thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] DGKG:
What i do if i have boot.img-kernel and boot.img-kernel_offset? :confused:
[Galaxy S 5 General] kumarayush2104:
The boot.img-kernel is your zimage file

[Networking] StevePritchard:
Hi,

I've got my O2 XDA Exec set up just how I want it with regard to connection to the internet, and my LAN via Wifi and GPRS - that's all great. It simply uses the connection that's available at the time, and accesses stuff just fine. I haven't had to mess about with "My ISP", or "Work" connections etc - I just have an "Internet" connection, and it seems to do the job, just like I would on a regular laptop.

However, on a regular laptop, I can set up a VPN connection that I dial at will that will connect me to either my home network when I'm out and about, or to a Windows 2003 Server I have co-located. The only problem is, I can't seem to get my Exec to be able to do the same. I can set up the VPN details under "Connections", no problem, and I can even tell it to connect, but looking at the syslog on the router I can tell that no traffic ever comes close.

I've tried a couple of 3rd Party VPN clients (Bluefire really screws up your machine if you try and install to SD Card!), but these seem to be geared up to more complex VPN setups, and don't seem to handle my setup which, I think I'm right in saying, uses PPTP - they all seem to want to use IPSec, but at least I did see them trying to access the VPN on the router.

Can anybody offer any solution?

Cheers,

Steve.
[Networking] 1747431:
Hi Steve,

I'm currently trialing Bluefire and using it successfully to log into my work network. As you say it is for more complex VPN configuration but I must admit I know little about this. Having used Movian before in WM 2003, it is usual that loading the software to an SD card is not supported, it must be installed to the device memory. I have also trialed AnthaVPN but this screws up my Wireless/GPRS connections.

John.
[Networking] StevePritchard:
Yes, I tried Antha too, and screwed stuff up, so I've had to restore from a backup.

The annoying thing is, the built in VPN client should work, I think, I just can't get it to work.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Steve

After MultiRom is installed you can switch on boot as to which OS you want... Any compatible Android, Ubuntu Touch or FF OS.

Select which one you want as default... When you boot up you get some few seconds (like 8 or ten) to select something besides the default.

So long as your Android install is running a kexec-hardboot patch kernel, then you are good. Check the article I linked above for all details. One of the kernels they link to there should install on CM and then you are golden.
