Most often NO....every device is different even the variants of same model have different hardware flashing may lead to a possible brick so never try unless the developer or other users specifically mention your device....In your case no is the answer

ok thank you for the aswer

Like I already said, I already looked through the forums for the combine MTK and android version but there is none. Also what specifications do you want me to post about the device?

Well according to the "build info" if you are talking about the device name as what would be found under "Device" then it is a hsdroid. And there is an Android 4.0.5. here is the display pic of my phone in the attach file

Problem with such types of phones is that its difficult to find a proper rooting method for it as it is one of its kind and finding the drivers for it.Above all,Stock firmware for such phones is mostly not available.So in case something goes wrong and your device gets bricked,its hard to find the stock rom to flash again. Try this link,there are some root methods here,,,be careful...and try to install cwm on it if it gets rooted..once cwm is installed...make sure you make a recovery image of your phone and then i'd suggest you try to go for some custom roms for your phone..So that if something goes wrong while flashing a different rom you can restore your backup and try again..

[Q] Samsung Galaxy gio

Hi.
I'm looking for info. on rooting this device and flashing the best compatible rom.
For root, a step by step if possible...
For flash, which rom is best for the device ( I understand it is pretty weak and may not handle cm series or the like. I did hear about a rom that was like a supped up version of the stock or something but lost that info.
- as well would appreciate a step by step if possible for flashing.
The device is completely stock at the moment.
Moocho Appreesheeosho!

Hello mate, questions like the ones you asked belong to this section of the forum.. So please ask all your questions on the Q&A section of your phone's dedicated forum section...

compatibility (sgh-t779 > gt-p51xx)

So prior to bricking my tablet by trial and (probably error), can anyone PLEASE tell me what ROM types are compatible with my device?
I see there is no specific development for the SGH-T779 (the device in question). Does this mean there are absolutely no compatible roms for my tablet?
What custom recoveries can be flashed?
Am I able to flash any GT-51xx roms?
Root was obtainable, but I can't even seem to get any information after scouring.
Please help!

Galaxy tab4 sm t230 updated firmware

Hi guys
I'm looking to update the firmware on this old tablet as it's a bit out of date and a bit sluggish it's been a long time since I've rooted or flashed anything android. I own a Linux satellite receiver and have flashed firmware images bootloader etc so hoping this will help me. I'm basically looking for a guide from start to finish to bring this tablet a bit more up to date, hope somebody can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Check if these 2 ROMs are enough stable for you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...11-cm-14-1-based-android-4-4-4-7-1-2.3648887/

Thanks matteo I think I'd like to try your build I've read quite a few of your post and you seem to know quite a lot about these tablets all I need to know now is what to download and how to flash it
Thanks

What to download is in the thread (rom, gapps and twrp), and you can find instructions all over the internet. I've wrote something in my thread of lineage 16 and twrp on how to install them (lineage 16 has the same instructions as the other ROMs I've linked you) too. What I advice you is to understand well what you have to do before doing everything. Otherwise, it can happen that you'll come back and say: "device doesn't boot anymore, what to do now?"

Yes I'm trying to gather as much information as I can so as to avoid any problems when I actually try to do the flash process. I will read up some more.
Thanks again

Hey Matteo- do you think this ROM is still the best option for those of us with a SM-T230 / DEGAS ? There isn't a proper LineageOS build is there? Appreciate the knowledge, thank you.

Yes. There's a LOS16 for T235, but not for T230.

Hi, I will ask maybe stupid question, since knowledge is 0 in terms of android, but is there a possibility to upload some ROM with android 9.0 to T230? (I even do not know if I haven't made mistake in question )
Anyway I need 9.0 for app and already rooted device following step by step instruction.
Thx in advance

No, since there aren't any devs with enough interest/knowledge to make them.

Hi there. I have found an old SM-T230. I need to install some apps, which require at least Android 7. Will the above Custom ROMS work in that way, that i can install apps build for Android 7 or higher? I fear, i have to find some GApps but thats a other story... if someone can assist to find the right ROM and GApps, this would be nice...
