So i have been searching for 2 weeks for Roms and how to Root this device. I have finally rooted the devices but yet to find any roms for this device . None of the main websites like here and Android central even have a section for this device yet. i was wondering if anyone had started working on any Roms for this device. i might try and mess with it my self but the device is my wifes so i dont have it in my possession all the time to be able to do that. Any info would be great thanks guys
There is none that I know of yet SDX is doing alot with transform. The samsung moment is very close to the transform and little john has just come out with 2.2.1 for yhe moment still has some bugs but will be working soon. I'm sure some one will be porting it soon as its done. also there is a very cool theme for the transform and some of moment things do work on it. I am getting 9.1 on linpack. Go to SDX!!!!

Hey guys, I'm new to rooting and Androids. I couldn't find any information, so I came here for help. I have a rooted Samsung Transform.
1. Do I need to have a special ROM made for my device specifically? Or will any ROM work?
2. If so do you know of any ROMs for it?
Thanks for your time!
ROMs are made specifically for your device.

Alright, thanks! Do you (or anybody reading this) know if there are any ROMs for the Samsung Transform? I can't seem to find any...
I dont think there are goiong to be an ROMs for this device for a while, or maybe never. Its a mid ranged andriod phone so not that many people ( Compared to those with high end devices ) who are apart of XDA will get it. Also its only been out for a month or so. It just doesnt seem like there are going to be ROMs for this device currently
Yeah. I was thinking the same thing, was just hoping someone would say something different :/
Is there anybody developing a ROM for this phone on here only place I can find custom Roms is on a Russian Forum be nice if we could have ics on this phone
Yes we need more support for this phone... anyone?

I will be a much excited as you if we can get more community support for this phone, I have the same one got a few weeks ago... right now a current issue is that I flashed and screen is gone blank, even though it seem to be fine, I just cant see anything on the screen. no ideas what to do or what ROM to flash again or even how to flash when you cant see the screen come on.
It seems that some Russion people made a custom rom for it, but it is still not based on ICS.
Mediatek did not made their source public, so it will be difficult to port ICS to our phone.
So lets hope a developer buys one
Cheers
I have made a custom rom for B63M with dt a2sd support.....but it is gingy......
@Degogar:
Custom rom's can be found here, but you have to register first to download them.
They are also working on a ICS version.

thanks already know about that site and the russian one
i am not sure if i am posting this in the right spot but here is my question has anyone been able to root the new samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 wifi GT-P3113 8gb running ICS 4.0.3 from factory ??? any help would be great even if it is to guide me to the right forum thanks in advance
anybody? trying to root this device.
I just bought the tab 2 7.0. It's pretty nice. I requested that we get a section for it here at xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617079
Does anyone know which Mod I can contact about this?
+1 for new forum... so Far loving this thing
Just got mine today, wouldn't you know it, first thing I do is look here for root even though it was just released two days ago.
Please add my vote for a new section.
I am in line too
I am in the same boat. I have tried every root process out there available for dual core Samsung devices and came up with nothing. Two things I would love to have for this device 1. Root(so I can restore my game data from my bigger tab) 2. A Bone stock ICS ROM.....I guess I should say a recovery as well so I can load a stock ICS ROM onto there.
Mine is on it's way from J&R and it's going to eventually be torn apart and put in my dash of my Nissan Altima to replace my headunit... but I def. want to root it before then, hope it can get it's own section and some dev's can root and ROM it!
i'm liking this tab, except of course lack of root yet (want to restore app data from TiBu!), but of course it's super early to expect it. i also don't like that tablet-mode statusbar/softkeys can't be hidden, so when I play fullscreen videos the buttons are always there. other than that, i am a happy camper.
agree, the notification bar always there takes some getting used to.
this needs root badly. apps2sd would be huge, among other things.
*sigh*
I am wondering how the root works an I am positive there are plenty of threads explaining this, my quesiotn is would the root be an exploit for ICS? or it is specific to Samsung?

It could go either way really. Some of the things in stock ICS are still there on Samsung's custom build of it. An exploit for either of the two is worth trying. The real problem is, how many Samsung ICS devices are there? Anyone look into trying whatever worked on the Galaxy Nexus for the Tab 2?

Sorry for the double post, but this is a method of root that could be an Android wide thing and not rely on a specific exploit. I know they use this for things like the Transformer Prime as well as the Acer A200, so I figured anyone with some development knowledge could take a look at it as I am clueless on that front.
Forgot to include the link, duh.

I tried a few things from the Acer side as well and came up with nothing. The only official ICS devices for Sammy are Galaxy nexus, and one of the galaxy S II variants. Most times they are rooted through Odin first. This device needs some pub so we can grab a dev or two's attention.

I'm chatting with a developer in private messages right now. I got him to try the mempodroid exploit and he says that it looks like they have closed the hole. Maybe I should send him a link to this thread.
Yes, please do. If a developer needs anything from the Tablet, mine will be at my house tomorrow... I have access to and know how to use ADB, so I can contribute towards helping get us root!

+1 on this. I received mine yesterday and started any known exploit with no success. If any dev needs me to test something let me know!!! We need this thing rooted yesterday and custom roms tomorrow!!!
We also need a separate forum on xda. Just saying.
BTW, Diablo - awesome idea for the head unit. I'm interested to see how it works out!
I went ahead and sent him a link to the thread so we can document any findings that anyone comes across.
I was thinking of using odin to flash the CWM for a plus 7.0. The possibility of bricking my device and not having backup to flash is holding me back though.
Once we have CWM rooting it should be as easy as flashing a zip file with SU included. Right? I'm in no way a dev, just a guy who thinks he knows what is going on.

There is a system dump of our device floating around here, but using odin is the way to go and using another devices odin method setup as a template is probably our best bet.
If we can install CWM, which would have to be built, then we could theoretically flash a superuser.zip, but I think the superuser.zip is a little more complicated than installing just the superuser.apk. I am pretty sure it also includes busy box and binaries, but I am also not a developer so I am just giving it my best educated guess.
I just got mine a few days ago and I will try to odin if you can find a compatible file. I will most certainly lie to microcenter about it being a brick to get a new one.....Just like I did with sprint. I told them it said something about an update and when I clicked it I lost power when I powered it back on it kept looping. So lets get craking on this
As you guy probably know though, you'll want to be very careful with odin. If something goes wrong or it is flashed the wrong way, you will totally screw your device up.
hiii, i am using android 2.3.4, very basic kind of mobile mts mtag 351. please help me in finding custom rom into it, i searched on xda as well as many other sites by writing the model number of this phone but unable to get any rom as its very normal kind of phone, also can i update it to ics or Jb? please help me in finding suitable rom for this phone. links, software or any other info very much appreciated. thnks in advance
more info in attach image.
Hi, sad to say. There is no development carried out for your device, hence why you were unable to find any custom roms lurking around the internet. Judging by the year model of this device, it is fairly old and let me blast out all the sadness to you.
I highly doubt your device will receive any update.
Same with custom roms, but maybe some dev may get this phone? Idk why.
And may make a custom rom for it.
Sad to say friend, your device is far to outdated to receive ICS or JB or any new Android platform.
Time for you to upgrade if you wish to say in line within the platform standards.

ohh k thanks for the reply well is it not like that i can flash wid any android 2.3.4 custom firmware ? for ex, here are the list
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196704, is that work ?
No that's not how it works.
If you flash another devices .IMG or ROM to your device it will brick it. Meaning it will no longer be usable.
Better explained, you can't install a Samsung firmware for your device. It won't work.

ohhh,k thanks a lot for the answer that makes thing very clear.
I'm a complete newbie in the Android world (iPhone user), so I'm so sorry in advance if I'm asking a stupid question. So today I bought an Alcatel Hero 2 from Amazon. The device hasn't arrived yet. The device has Android Kitkat on it and from some youtube review videos I knew that the customized Android version installed on the device is chubby so I thought if I can upgrade to vanilla Lollipop then the performance will improve.
There is very little information on the web about the Hero 2. I only found a webpage (can't post a link here because I'm new but google for "upgrade alcatel hero 2 lollipop" and you'll find it) that says one can upgrade to Lollipop, but it seems to be SCAM. Thus I thought it's better to ask here to get trusted answers since I don't want to get into security problems.
I know what ROMs are and have a little background but I don't know where to get trusted ROMs or if it's possible at all to upgrade my phone. I appreciate any answers.
Many thanks in advance!
Probably not, unless Alcatel comes out with its own Lollipop update or more threads appear here for Hero 2 ROMs.
The Hero 2 isn't very popular, or at least well-known, in the US. I'm surprised you even found it for purchase. Was it on the US Amazon site or a foreign version? Got a link? I was interested in a Hero 2, too, but I could never find it, and now it's getting a little long in the tooth.
Sorry this isn't the answer you wanted. Is it an all right phone overall, though? Reviews were generally favorable.
I don't think there is Lollipop rom for your device.
Hi guys,
any news about lollipop update? Im choosing between Hero 2 and LG G3, but Hero 2 is cheaper for me and it has little bit bigger screen. Any advices please?
Feyse
Lollipop rom for Alcatel hero2
Can any one help us tout get lollipop rom on Alcatel hero2, please

Hi there, I managed to port a RR rom (7.1.2) for this device. If you still want to try it out let me know, I would make a thread but sadly I can't
Please, if it is not too much trouble, you can update the link

My Hero 8 D820X is bricked (tried to factory reset and sth gone wrong) system crushed, i need to flash anything but can find nothing.
Hero 2 has same CPU, so hopefully it would work

This is weird, I looked all over and cannot find any links for original flashing files, not even 4PDA.
But, the rom I ported has no sound (unless you wear headphones), and camera is not working. This was basically just an experiment on trying to port it for first time, but sadly I do not have the device anymore so I won't be able to help much. If you still want to try it, here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/resurrection-remix-5-8-5-alcatel-t3913051
Meanwhile I'll try to keep looking for the original stock ROM for your device, there has to be something.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
