Lost with X5 and X5 Pro

Hi. I was looking in the terminal catalogue of Movistar, and i found this mobile in his model U8800h, which is the newest Ideos X5 Pro. I´m looking for it (it´s cheap for his specs) but i encounter a problem.
There are two models of this telephone, the normal X5 (U8800, 800 mhz processor, discontinued) and the X5 Pro, which is the one that Movistar offers, and its called U8800H and mounts a 1ghz processor, 512 mb ram and 5 mpx camera. It looks great for his prize, almost like the first SGS.
Here are my questions:
-I know that U8800 and U8800H roms are not compatible, or that´s what i read, but...there are U8800H or X5 Pro roms actually? I don´t know if the Miui rom of the dev forum is for X5 or for X5 Pro.
-X5 Pro can be rooted+set a recovery?
-There are at least Gingerbread stock or tweaked GB roms for it?
Sorry if this is already asked, but i´m kinda lost with this terminal. It looks good, but i don´t want to buy an Android without any Crom for it.
Greetings!

u8800 (aka Ideos x5) cpu [email protected], 512mb ram,4gb rom, no fm tx, Qualcomm wifi (libra)
u8800H (aka Impulse 4G for usa market) cpu [email protected], 512mb ram,4gb rom, fm rx/tx, Broadcom wifi solution (bcm4329)
u8800Pro (aka Ideos x5 pro) cpu [email protected], 512mb ram,4gb rom, fm rx/tx, Broadcom wifi solution (bcm4329)
also exist something called u8800-51 but no info for this one
u8800 can be rooted via various apps and software like superoneclickroot also recovery via cwm mod and pink mode
u8800pro can be rooted only via superoneclickroot software and recovery via pink mode
i have no info about u8800h and u8800-51 rooting and recovery solution

Then i think the Movistar device is the U8800 Pro, because they offer it as a 1ghz terminal and also is shown as it in a commercial video.
There are custom roms for the Pro terminal? It´s great to hear that there is root and recovery (idk what that pink thing is, maybe i need a tutorial), but, if there is no rom, at least i can find a custom kernel for it? Like Francokernel for Optimus One.

no custom rom's or kernel's for u8800pro as i know, but at least big posibility for official 2.3.5 after huawei vision(aka u8850) release cuz hardware wise its prety mauch same device

And maybe is possible to port roms from Huawei Vision to the Ideos X5 Pro, i´m right?
Well, if with root i can make some tweaks to the stock froyo, that can be right. If the performance is better than LG Optimus One with Gingerbread i´ll choose it.
Thanks

The performance is way better than lg optimus one. And there will be ROM's for it, that's for sure. It's just too fresh now

I hope so It´s a very cheap phone for the specs it has. I´ll follow the scene and see if appear something interesting I think only the 1ghz processor makes the difference between this an O1. Thanks for the answer
Greetings.

Bigger screen makes difference too. And better GPU. On the processor side, even non-pro U8800 would be way better than lg optimus one, because it has ARMv7 processor, not ARMv6

Yeah, and i´m amazed it cost about the same as the Optimus One in the catalogue, ever less points (70.000 vs 80.000, and they give you more or less 70.000 as a gift, then 0€ terminal)
I´ll check it. It´s a shame that there are not CRoms yet. But i have a question, what´s that "pink mode" thing you said before? It´s a certain recovery?
Greetings

It's something like fastboot mode on htc. When you load it, you can access all your phone partitions, so you can mess with files, recoveries etc.

Other Huawei phones also seems to have the pink mode you're referring to. However they do not seem to allow access to the different partitions. That is nothing is mounted.
From analysis it looks like other phones don't have a memory controller which controls the access. I'm sure there is a way to do this, but haven't been able to find any information yet..
If anyone has any ideas - let me know..

[Q] Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 / 10 Open source, overclocking MT8125

Hi All,
I spotted Yoga Tablet 8 / 10's open source code on the Lenovo Support website.
I would like to overclock the MT8125 processor from 1.2GHz to 1.5GHz. I've tried Framaroot and Master CPU hopping to overclock the CPU. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as it doesn't allow me to change the maximum frequency.
My question is how can I extract the kernel from the open source? I read about flashing a kernel that support overclocking. Is it possible to customize the kernel to support overclocking?

If someone manages to do this, I will be eternally thankful to them, provide a celebratory wallpaper and chant their name all night long. (Well, actually just the first two, but I hope this doesn't discourage any potential devs )
Seriously though: I've been thinking about getting the Yoga, but I really think I don't want the stock ROM. Therefore I would love to see CM ported for it, and I'm willing to help (although not an Android developer, I am a programmer, I know my way around and can help with testing and perhaps some other stuff as well.)

Go for it it's a great tablet and once you get used to stock rom it's not that bad and you can always use go launcher if you want a different look only thing I would improve is the rom and processor speed

Yeah, we just got a Yoga 10 for our office that we won in a contest. As soon as I powered it up, I looked at it, and then went and immediately downloaded Nova launcher, set Nova actions to fast, then I enabled developer options, and and set all animations to .5
It is better now, but I would love to be able to a custom rom on here.

Wow.. thanks for that tip .. makes my yoga so much more bearable to use. If only lenovo had a better screen and stock UI.. they would have had a killer tablet...

I'm looking for the same thing. i would be happy with a near stock android rom even anywhere from 4.1 to 4.4
to get you started though, check out this post i made asking about it. i got some help and got TWRP recovery installed which is kind of a first step, but there are still no roms i can find for it. NANDroid backups can at least be made though so if you want to play around with xposed framework you can restore from a soft brick.

I have a yoga 10 and I am ready to test any custom roms which are (if) available out there. I don't mind bricking the device as I hate the stock ROM

Hi, is this thread limited to Yoga 8 wifi or for 3G versio as well?

.
No, both , I no longer have this tablet though as it was faulty so sent back

Hello everyone making my 2nd post here in despair i need a way to (Throttle)OC GPU and maybe GPU would love if it's possible with some app and root as i don't want to move from my stock 5.1.1 (But Kernel Way is also OK [basically anything that doesn't hardbrick my phone cuz it's my main and i don't have a single penny for new]) becouse in my country only version is 8GB 1.5GB RAM witch i grabbed from my carrier store for free and only pay for carrier plan service like ulimited calls.messages and 10gb Internet.Anyway my settup is Magisk system-less root APPS2SD with all apps and bloatware(gota love that bloatware) excluding system apps ofc and moving isn't the best option as my expierence lead me to keep on stock ROM and hope Samsung devs make some good updates I currently use APPS2SD built in "Throttle CPU" with output to 2500Mhz for all 4 cores some ames that had some little lags ran smoothly for the first time but i have one game that still lags and i need some GPU OC or Throttling method to gain more performance.Please if anyone can or know how to achieve that help i ofc also checked Kernel place for this device with dead links and closed projects also the was tegrak ver. but it just said your kernel or rom unsupported.sorry if i sound dumb but i just trying to find out and understand more any help is appreciated.

Yoga Smart Tab

Hello,
So I got a Lenovo Smart Tab (yt-x703f) and really want to flash TWRP to it, so I can flash LineageOS rom, but it seems like there's no support for it, or even a subthread on XDA.
(I tried various twrp images)
Anyone got some experience with that tablet and have something working?
Cheers

For some reason this device gets the silent treatment on all fora. I can't figure out why, this could be a great multimedia device with some adjustments. batt life is great as is the sound. Screen is ok ish and the speed needs to be tweaked, but no one is willing to tweak

You can root the device and even flash a GSI on it. Tested myself and everything is working

Yoga Smart Tab - Iron Grey​Part Number: ZA3V0005US
Not sure if we are talking about the same device but lenovo does not support their mid tier devices with OS updates and would like to install a bloatless OS also pie is really dated and wondering if i will run in to issues with app compatibility. There is also that issue where it won't run HD in netflix because netflix is a static app and can not be removed and reinstalled. Hence bloatware and would love a clean google experience.

Flashing a GSI might help if the device supports Project Treble. Basically any device launched with Android 8 and above should support Project Treble.

Hi, I have a Lenovo Yoga smart tab (YT-X705L) and I want to install a new rom on it. I’m not an IT wizard so I need help with that. Would you find anyone who can give step-by-step instructions from start to finish with download links.
And if you can find experiences on how anything works (which is GSI). Thanks in advance.

Hello @mrfreakFIN . I have made a detailed thread about flashing GSI on this tablet. Check it here

HTC Wildfire E Lite

I have a HTC Wildfire E Lite as a backup phone. I realise it's not like the old HTC devices in the rest of this forum - it's pretty generic hardware I suspect.
It runs Android 10 Go Edition, which I really don't like. Ideally I'd like to install a fully-fledged version of Android. To this end I've managed to unlock the bootloader, and now require a (stock) Android 10 image. Failing that, even just the right boot image for rooting (I've tried Kingoroot - no luck).. But after searching the web I can't find anything for this model of phone. Given its generic hardware, is it possible to use an image made for other devices?
Specs:
Android v10 (Q)
Quad core, 1.8 GHz, Cortex A53 processor
MediaTek Helio A20 Chipset
2 GB RAM
32 GB internal storage

Hi.
I might have an idea on how you could go about this.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not a tech guru but the info I have should be able to get you what you want.
I got most of these info because of my desperation for optimization when I owned a potato (Infinix Smart 3). It literally had no Dev support, even in XDA. My recent phone has no support either but it's smooth enough for me so I'll just share my knowledge with you!
First, I'll advice you to backup your stock ROM. Have you heard of Wwr MTK? Or SP flash tool? These are the Mediatek tools you'll need to backup your stock images. JSYK your processor, Helio A20, is codenamed MT6761D. That'll come in handy!
Use this video to learn more on how to use them:
And please I'll have to beg you not to use Kingoroot. It's a very dated root method so I'll advice you to use Magisk. Here (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk), you'll get all the info you'll need to install Magisk.
Also, if you're looking for a stable custom ROM to use, you can use Android 10 or Android 11 GSI system image from XDA recognised Phh. Find them here( https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases)
Also, if you want to have the same experience as on Google Pixel devices, you could also use Pixel Experience or Pixel Experience+ GSIs. Find them here (https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases)
If you run into any issues, you could contact me on WhatsApp (https://wa.me/2348107260090)
Or Telegram (https://t.me/si_nach) or just search @si_nach
Hope this helps! Have Fun!

Awesome! Thank you! I'm going to give it a go in the next few days and will update with the results. Much appreciated
