Information about the china lollipop rom topic

hi guys,
so i did the mistake and i flashed the china lollipop rom. i was pretty desperate and i thougt that i'm stock with it forever.
but, i figured it out and decided to share my experience and maybe save you time (and probably a heart attack :p).
let's begin!
first of all, with this #%#^# rom flashed, tou CANNOT downgrade back to kitkat. i'm no expert, but i did a big research and found nothing. if you do find anything, please share with us :)

secondly, if I tryed and flash above any other rom, the call sound was bad. wich lead us to the next problem - you cannot flash a modem (trust me, i tryed ALOT) without loosing your baseband, IMEI and signal - in other words, you lost the all idea of a cell phone! great..
for those of you who lost the baseband and IMEI, the only solution that i found was to re-flash all of the chinees rom files.

so, what do you do if you want to change the rom, but like me you get bad call quality?
here's what i did-
thank goodnes, AL-IRAQI uploaded the russian version of lollipop, wich you can find here.
now for all of those who wonders, don't worry, you will not lose IMEI and baseband.
after i flashed the russian version, i flashed the PRISM BARBONE rom (again- AL-IRAQI:angel:) and the call quality is perfect! so i get to live happily ever after :)

there is however one last thing that i don't know (because i didn't try) - are we able to flash a modem now that we are based on the russian loillipop? if any of you have information about that, please be kind and share it with the rest of us.

hopefully you find this usefull :)

[Q] Chinese Vivo restricted access in China to Google Play and services as well topic

Hello,
I have a Motorola Moto G dual sim which I bought in the US. The phone is not rooted but all the aps and everything works well except the fact that now I am in China and this phone does not support the local 3g or 4g(it doesn't have 4G anyway). I only get Edge connection. Due to this fact I decided to buy a local phone that has dual sim and chinese 4G. I got myself a Vivo Y27 with and android 4.4 and a local Funtouch ROM. The phone is fast and very good but, there is always a but; Google play has been banned in China and all the phones made for the chinese market have this restriction. The restriction does not apply to «blocking websites or app» as with a good VPN service I can access them. The restriction is most probably built in the ROM. I have been able to download Google play but the application won’t start. I get the message that this application has been prohibited. Some applications I am not even able to download, even through a VPN.
All my apps that are useful rely on google services, so even if the services are «blocked» I can use them through a VPN. I do use them on my MotoG but because of the lack of faster connection it is almost useless unless I am on wifi.
How can this problem be solved? Any suggestion? Will rooting the Vivo and then replacing Funtouch with another ROM solve the problem?
I´ve searched all the android forums regarding rooting this device but I haven´t been able to find it anywhere. Unfortunately I do not read chinese and when I talk to people here I get the information that Google has been prohibited since last mid year(august/september 2014)
Anybody can help me or point me in the right direction?
The way it is now this phone is useless for me as I need it to pair with all the services I subscribe.
Anyone? please?
