FOR ANYONE TRYING TO INSTALL CYANOGENMOD OR ANY OTHER CUSTOM ROM ON UMI ROME X, THE KERNEL NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OR DON'T FLASH KERNEL. PEOPLE WITH NEW DEVICES USE THE LATEST TWRP RECOVERY LINKED ON THE FIRST PAGE.
FIRST UNZIP THE ROM.
EITHER GO INTO META-INF/COM/GOOGLE/ANDROID AND THEN OPEN UPDATER-SCRIPT. REMOVE THE LINE TOWARDS THE END WHICH WRITES THE KERNEL (BOOT.IMG) - SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/boot");
AND THEN RE-ZIP FILE AND FLASH
OR
JUST DELETE BOOT.IMG AND THEN RE-ZIP AND F
OR
REPLACE THE BOOT.IMG WITH THE STOCK BOOT.IMG FROM ONE OF THE SPFT STOCK ROM FLASH THINGY
I hope this helped anyone out there with a UMI Rome X - I don't want others to endure the pain I did. For any help or inquiries regarding the UMI ROME X device (root, recovery, custom rom), reply to this message but I think I've linked everything below.
TWRP for UMI ROME X latest LCD 3.0.5 this worked for me as I had the newer LCD variant *TESTED*: http://www.mediafire.com/file/m7 ... .0.2-UMI_ROME_X.img
TWRP for UMI ROME X may work not tested : http://www.mediafire.com/downloa ... /TWRP3.0.0RomeX.img
CM 12.1 for older device with old LCD : http://www.needrom.com/download/cyanogenmod-9/Also many other ones like freeme OS ( I don't like it personally) and Amigo OS V8 (not the old one on needrom - testing currently)
CM12.1 FOR NEW DEVICES WITH NEW LCD: http://www.needrom.com/download/cyanogenmod-9/ (same link but follow steps above - replace boot.img with stock kernel from ROM releases from UMI, delete it? or just delete the line which flashes it ^^^ we won't be able to flash new kernels without unlocking bootloader which I don't want to do as custom rom is enough)
Hope this helped and any questions, please do reply
