AOSP 4.4.2 for the ZTE Open C

hecatae · May 26, 2014

Found while looking for bits for the ZTE Open C, there is a FFOS to Android 4.4.2 rom, and another one that reinstalls FFOS 1.3

Link is here http://down.comebuy.com/Open_c_root_Android4.4.rar , taken from here http://en.comebuy.com/cell-phones-android-cell-phone-4-inch-phones-om33494.html , which came from this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axOYIfo7y2s

I state AOSP because I do not see any GApps installed on the video, and I have not yet received my Open C to test

Would you be able just to flash a regular gapps zip?

When attempting to flash these zips from recovery I am getting signature verifification failed. I have verified the files are intact but still am unable to flash these.

This device was purchased on ebay. The only thing I have really done is use the zte upgrade tool in windows to flash and obtain root, now I have a feeling that this is my problem.

Has anyone found a solution? Where to download the Gapps?

I just got my ZTE open C today, installed kitkat, rooted then install gapps, now going to setup dual boot with firefox, ZTE Open C comes with 1.3 looking for later version in zip format, to install via recovery. as far as gapps I just googled gapps, ended up here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23311191640114013

They work just fine for me.

What process did you use to root?

The method I used is very complex, I had to make my own method, requires unpacking boot.img setting kernel to unsecure, repacking, booting from packed boot.img using adb to mount /system as rw and pushing su, and setting permissions.

I am sure someone else has an easier method, to be able to flash boot.img or recovery.img you would need to unlock bootloader first, as I said the process is complex.

I built my own recovery, so the process is easier than what I went through first time, I am currently deodexing the rom, and going to flash it through my recovery to see how it acts.

This thread links to a how to unlock the bootloader, that's really the first step.

I don't know what you are doing, to correctly change boot.img use fastboot, unless you modify the recovery.

onderkaan · Jun 18, 2014

Boot.img is correct i know. 3 recovery because first recovery is original, others are using custom flashable rom

Noone has custom rom but me, others are using stock rom, my rom is deodexed, rooted can be instsalled through modified stock recovery.

I was able to do this via fastboot, you also need to fastboot your bootimg to get root from there you might be able to install kitkat, don't know as your phone is different.

Anyway good luck to you.
