Root [Rom] [Stock] Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (M050)

[Doctoror]

M050 changelog

Lags quite a bit at first start (as always for C811)
After removing stock apps and rebooting running smoothly.

Credits go to brandennj for the extracted ROM.

Installation:

Skip this spoiler if you have already installed CWM.

Spoiler

Install
Clockworkmod using Flashify (flash as zip)
In order to reboot to CWM, execute

su
reboot recovery

In terminal emulator or in adb shell.
In order to use key combination to enter recovery (Tactile Key + Volume Down + Power), flashCA-201L aboot (not tested with M050 bootloader)

Flash

• C811_M050_system_boot.zip
• C811_M050_baseband.zip
• C811_M050_bootloader_no_aboot.zip
  
• You can flash Clockworkmod Superuser along to get root.
• Wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache.

Didn't test the updated bootloader with CA-201L aboot (I'm running with M040 bootloader + CA-201L aboot right now).

If you're feeling adventurous you can try updating the bootloader

CA-201L users should probably try without baseband first. Never flash bootloader on CA-201L.

Yes, I flashed only C811_M050_system_boot.zip on my CA201L
It is working now, but first warning! :" This SIM card is from an unknown source." appeaer on screen ( the same with C811_M040_system ). I will install C811 Extra Setting to fix it. Thank you so much Doctoror for your work!

He's not a victim of bootloader, he's a victim of a Korean XPOSED UNLIMITED ROM (can' find that thread anymore on AndroidForums).

Doctoror ,

I have a question, if I would of pulled the file from my phone, with just stock apps, would it make it less lagy ?

Deleting stock apps make it less laggy no matter if they were deleted before flashing or after flashing.

It's better to have the ROM flashable as much close to the stock as possible just in case something from stock is needed.

 

[brandennj]

Ok, I c. it was stock, with additional apps. Nothing removed

If they're not manually converted to system apps they're not included

I'm a victim of my own stupidity...

Its good that its gone. Hopefully I am the only one.

Yeah, those Korean ROMs look strange and are intended to run on CA-201L.

 

[brandennj]

I see, so it doesn't affect it or its settings. Unless manualy.

like sometimes when you have more than one program of the same type like 2 browsers or 2 anti viruses on a computer it can affect it, or install programs while others are running.

Thanks Doctoror!

I could not download C811_M050_system_boot.zip on mega, you can upload mirror, ex: google drive. Thank you very much!

 

[motumbo]

If I flash this rom, System+baseband, and keep the bootloader. The recovery combo key will remain booting to recovery ok? Sorry for the noob question but I want to keep this phone alive, it is now a work tool for me.

Are there any major differences between M40 and M50? Just wondering if I should bother to update. Thanks!
