can this rom work on the tecno spark k7??
No, you can’t. You must be running stock Android Oreo OS which has treble support
Please paste link of the particular version of gapps to download.. I have tried two, non worked..
Please paste corresponding gapps Link to the ROM.
I’ll update the link later today but Which gapps did you try?
The ROM has network bug. Mobile data issues.
can I use any mt6580 treble support device
Yes, it can be installed on any 32bit treble device.
I can’t unlock the download link please help me or remove the locked screen or give me the direct download link. If any one want to help you, he/she goes to your social media page and subs your page. You don’t need to lock the link. I can unsubscribe from your channel after unlocking the link. Did you think that?
????, that’s true dho. Updated
Here’s what I did,
I did the wiping -> Successful.
I installed using the Image option, selected the image -> Flash was successful.
I mounted the system and rebooted.
It hung on the tecno logo. I waited for 3 hours. It never booted.
Where did I go wrong?
Hi cyb3tooth, if you have a twrp backup, restore your backup and this time, just factory reset, install image and reboot. mounting and unmounting is only applicable in cases where u face mounting issues flashing the ROM. Let me know if it works
adfly account has been suspended.
Please check back in an hour. Thanks
Bro please try to update or renew your adfly subscription almost all links to Tom’s for my device are either not working or have suspended account, I used to be a big fan of your work but recently the website has let me down a lot
The Link has been updated. Sorry for any inconveniences caused
Great work bro????????????????.. Can I install it on Infinix Hot 5 Oreo variant? The kernel and chipset are similar (MT6580 with 3.18.79+). Now you might say it’s not a treble device but as we all know, most phones currently supporting Treble were never ‘treblized’ out of the box. Devs simply added a /vendor partition and made it Treble-supported.
Just wondering if I can install directly or I’d need to port first?
It’s has you already explained. Since it’s not a treble enabled phone, it requires a vendor partition to load gsi ROMs
One last request (sorry): can I get the vendor mod file so I can compare it to my vendor tree? That’d be super helpful. FWIW if this turns out to be a success, we might have a full-blown MTK-Treble project on our hands✌???? so I just need to cover my bases
I don’t have the vendor mod file, I’m using kernel 4.4.95+ with stock vendor
Thanks for confirming that.. I’ll try it now and let you know how it goes.. NANDROID backup as always????
Please can you put your WhatsApp number for more help
Keeps saying this site cant be reached
Please help me find the rom
Link updated.
Stock at Tecno Logo on my Spark 2.
System partition keep unmounting after each reboot to recovery mode.
Any fix for this??
Did you try any other ROM? did you face the same issue?
