Is it a rooted ROM? Will any of the provided root tools work with this ROM?
It is not a rooted ROM, but it can be also rooted easily using Vroot method(http://www.mediafire.com/download/8b2fqxyv4bb6qg7/MTK6582%20ROOT.zip).
It works fine on W450. It has some modifications however related to firmware from november – for example wheater widget added. Baseband version is newer – P7, 2013/12/09 11:42. Same kernel and build number.
Pony, can I ask you from where do you have this ROM ? You say it is stock, but it has a boot logo and animation from URiver (I don’t know what this is) …
New method for rooting this device, full in English, even the app installed in the phone.
My W450 was flashed and rooted with RootGenius (in English with Kinguser built-in).
yes this rom fixed the touch screen bug
Our pleasure. ^^
@Pajo
some has freeze when using. we uploaded the original before, pls check here:
http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2013/11/26/the-latest-stock-firmware-for-w450-mtk6582-quad-core-smart-phone/
could you pls try another USB cable or another USB port of your PC
I am using this new ROM and I can tell this:
1. Screen freezes. You can press power button but touchscreen doesn’t work when this happens so you have to take out the battery (manual restart).
2. Battery jump from 15% to 5% is solved.
3. The IMEI numbers got replaced by numbers not admitted so I had to manually use the MTK Engineer APK to manually set the proper IMEI numbers.
Number 1 is the reason I will flash the original ROM. I’t not tolerable.
The ROM posted before it’s ok except bfor the battery problem. I guess the rom posted before this would be perfect if it hasn’t the battery drop from 17% to 3% problem. Tell the providers to fix it please.
