Two real Android KitKat 4.4.4 ROMs for the Wiko Rainbow

We need some real KitKat 4.4.4 action. Seriously! KitKat 4.4.2 is a pain in the ass just as 4.2.2 is way outdated. No Lollipop developers for the Wiko Rainbow base in sight. Let's have a look at the alternatives. Here are two ROMs seemingly promising...

Lollipop for the TF101, TF300T and the TF201

New Lollipop ROMs for the TF101, the TF300T, the TF201 and there are also some REAL Android KitKat 4.4.4 Android ROMs for the Wiko Rainbow and similary mtk devices. Read on to find out where to get them and in what state they are.

Wiko Rainbow KitKat 4.4.4 - Cyanogen 11 (CM 11)

There is a Cyanogen port coming for the Wiko Rainbow. It's buggy yet but on a good way. At least it states that is is based on KitKat 4.4.4. That's worth a lot. Read more about...

Wiko Rainbow: How to install and root Jelly Bean and KitKat Stock ROMs + TWRP 2.8.2a

I recently got myself a WiKo Rainbow and ofc wanted it to be up to date. Unfortunatly Lollipop 5.x for the Wiko Rainbow is not in sight for now. The most interesting ROM is a CM11 port of KitKat 4.4.4 for the Wiko Rainbow. It still has bugs and is still some steps from getting usable on a daily base. The latest stock version (4.4.2) has some minor bugs (imho) too and is flawed by design. The battery stats are very inaccurate (sometimes they drop from 25 to 0 in one minutes) and other users complain about WiFi issues or less good mobile connections. Your choice. Its also stable but I for now prefer the 4.2.2 Jelly Bean on my Wiko Rainbow.

I thought about sharing how I did it from the scratch. After a loooooooooot of bad tryes. Here is how it went. All in all its pretty easy...:

The following article explains:

- Prepare the Wiko Rainbow for rooting (USB-Debugging, Unknown sources,...)
- Install the latest official Wiko KitKat 4.4.2 or Jellly Bean 4.2.2 Stock Rom
- Root the Wiko Rainbow Jelly Bean (JB) 4.2.2 via APK (Easy going!)
- Root Wiko Rainbow KitKat (KK) 4.4.2 via KingO Root (Also easy!)
- Implement an recovery for further ROMs or other uses
