Thank you [Login to see the link] for making this possible! Thank you [Login to see the link] and [Login to see the link] and [Login to see the link] and [Login to see the link] for helping me figure out different things about this phone. If anyone has any other ROMs they would like to add to this list please email me at [Login to see the link]
Prerequisites: [Login to see the link], [Login to see the link], [Login to see the link], Fastboot Drivers, brains.
Warning you are flashing custom firmware and can potentially brick your device! This process will delete everything on your device and there is no way around this! Make sure you are choosing a ROM that is for your specific device!
- Download a ROM from the list below and extract the super.bin
- Download [Login to see the link] and extract them
- Place all your files in the ADB folder
- Install MTK drivers and Fastboot drivers
- Run Auto Booter
- Plug in your phone into the computer while it is powered off
- Once your phone screen says: =>FASTBOOT mode... on it run
fastboot flashing unlock
in adb
- Press 'volume +' key to unlock the bootloader
- Once bootloader is unlocked run the following codes to disable avb and flash the new rom
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.bin
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.bin
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.bin
fastboot flash super super.bin
This step takes 35-45 minutes (If you see "Invalid sparse file format at header magic" you can ignore it safely.)
For Roms that need the cursor app download [Login to see the link]:
fastboot flash boot boot.bin
- Once completed run
fastboot reboot
to restart your device
You now have a kosher rom!
Quicker method (But potentially leaves room for more exploits) :
- Follw steps 1-8 from previous instructions
- Download [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link]
- Run the following codes to flash vbmeta and recovery and reboot into recovery:
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.bin
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.bin
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.bin
fastboot flash recovery recovery2.img
fastboot reboot recovery
- Once in Recovery run the following commands to flash super:
adb shell su -c chmod a+rw /dev/block/by-name/super
adb push super.bin /dev/block/by-name/super
For Roms that need the cursor app download [Login to see the link]:
adb shell su -c chmod a+rw /dev/block/by-name/boot
adb push boot.bin /dev/block/by-name/boot

I will be posting more as I make them
If you previously installed my mouse boot.img and you are updating to a newer version of my rom you should update to [Login to see the link] as it is the one that goes along with my updated rom.
Helpful Tips:
- To set key for voiceaccess:
Go to notifications, activate VoiceAccess by clicking on the VoiceAccess notification, say: "Open voice Access Settings", once in settings you can go to 'configure activation key', then to 'activation key', click on the key you want to set (quick dial on back of phone or message shortcut), say: "touch ok", you should be all set!
- To toggle mouse press the favorites key (star icon). When mouse is on keys 7 and 9 scroll up, and keys * and # scroll down, key 3 opens options/right clicks. Once deactivated the mouse icon remains on screen for around 10 seconds.
