Pipo M9 KitKat ROM for those with 1nand chip who gets bricked by official fw

[dnkn]

This ROM uses old loader, so no bricking of 1nand chip versions.
The rom is fast but don't expect much improvement of internal nand cause the kernel module for nand is from latest jb rom and loader is 1.24. But it's definately faster then any jb rom. 3d wise especially.
There will be custom kk kernels later but even with stock kernel it rocks.Kitkat rules on m9. The device performes like it should have been from the very begining.

Download also updated system.img and replace the one from the first link. It will give you rooted system and fixed gapps and location services and all apps in market which were available in JB will be available in this ROM.

Here's the link.

Erase IDB is vital.

You should use airplane mode on wifi versions I guess.

Fixed system.img.
rooted, art compatible gapps, fixed apps showing "not compatible with your device" in play market).

Recovery for KitKat and old loader.

Attention! You should flash modified system.img on initial flash, so replace stock system.img with modified one. Looks like it is not flashable by itself, resulting in stuck boot process on boot animation.

First boot should be performed with stock recovery, after first boot you can flash cwm based recovery. With only recovery.img checkbox selected.

Well, I have that variation of m9 and I ran kitkat (not fully functional) even in the end of 2013 and I experienced its benefits. This rom brings new kind of experience of using m9. But there are some problems. Right now I run this rom with all problems fixed, will post fixed system.img after some testing. I've already built kk kernel variant of my kernel, needs some testing though. I've abandoned thoughts of switching to other device for now. Kk brings m9 to a new level of user experience. Even with stock kernel. Don't know for battery life though. But for this moment I've got 3hours and 10 minutes of screen on and 54% left. That is browsing for the most, but some 3d and benchmarking also. Wifi always on. Stock kernel. Anna.Ye have never answered me so I had to act to get kk to my old fellow. And I succeded.

Hello
Thanks for the rom. It works good on my M9. Is there a way to get root?
Thanks Chris

[dnkn]

I used kingoapp.com . it says it won't root 4.4 fw, but it does root this fw. I will post rooted fw with some fixes, just a little bit later.

Hello
Kingo not work for me. Don't found my M9. Tried on 2 Computer, So wait for the rooted Firmware
Thanks Chris

[dnkn]

It's drivers problem then.

[chrs11]

But i can flash from this Computer

[dnkn]

Adb drivers are not the same as USB drivers, kingo uses adb to root.

[chrs11]

Which driver to use? I can see in device manager android adb device.
Thanks Chris

[dnkn]

This has nothing to do with the ROM . it's kingo root issue. I know it does root this ROM .if it does not for you then it's some problem of yours. That is not big issue as I'm going to post fixed and rooted system.img today.

Thanks i
will wait
