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

Hi
I am (very) new to android device and I want to know
1.How do I install firmware and ROM?
2.possible to install ICS on rk2918-based tablet? And how to install it?

Your first 2 questions will depend on the device. Different devices have different methods of rooting and installing recoveries and ROMs. Looks for your device in the forums and you should find the information you need. If you device is not yet listed post your device information so you can we can provide the proper information

You'll want to click the big yellow tab at the top of this page: "Device by OS or Manufacturer." Drill down to find your device. As kwkbnk said, the root and the ROM will depend on that device specifically. Once you get to the Developer's forum for your device, you'll discover whether anyone's found a way to put ICS on it.

[Q] General Questions about ROMĀ“s

Hey,
in the last Time I deal with modifying CustomROMs and I want to know what are the prerequisites so that an ROM works?
So, why I cant install a Nexus4 ROM on a SGS3?
I love the new UbuntuOS but I have a MT6577 processor phone, what are the Requirements that I can run the UbuntuOS
I hope this Question is not so stupid
Thanks..

Each phone has different hardware and so a kernel compiled with the drivers for this hardware, as well as changes to suit the hardware within the ROM (for example screen sizes, different sensors etc)
Android is not like windows/linux you can not simply install one ROM from one device to another
the current system requirements for UbuntuOS are found here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/operators-and-oems
Thanks for this Answers
is it possible to extract the Kernel and put it into another ROM.
And if my Phone bricked caused by a false ROM, cant I flash the Old ROM or at least flash the Recovery?

Sure you can install Ubuntu Desktop on an ARMV7-based android device.
See this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872752
What is more, Ubuntu for Phone may be released soon. Just wait for a few months.

[Q] How to check custom ROM compatibility?

How can I check if a custom ROM is compatible with my phone?
Is it only compatible on a certain phone?
I have a Cherry Mobile Burst, And sadly I can't find a custom ROM for my unit. So I'm asking if there are other custom ROM that I can use??
Thanks!!! :crying:
The only real way is to make sure it specifically states that it IS for your device. If you cannot find one for your device, then you can try to develop one. Even the identical chipset will have different hardware that make the ROMs incompatible.
If it does not say "This ROM is for XXX device" then don't flash it, that's my advice.

I doubt it because there is a lot of work that goes into developing a ROM, like hours and hours, so usually phones that not many people have don't really get it, because why develop for a phone that 20 people own when you can develop for one that thousands or millions of people own.
Keep looking, there may a custom ROM out there, does your phone go by another name? Like an actual model number?

There are no developers that own that device, if they did then there would be ROMs for it.
There is no point in asking or waiting for developers to make ROMs for this device because it will never happen.
You've got a low end device that no one is interested in developing for, you'll have to learn to do it yourself if you want ROMs, that's the only way you'll get ROMS for this device.

Why do you want to root your phone, if you want to change your rom?
You just need a Custom Recovery (e.g. TWRP) in which you can flash your favorite ROM.
Here is a beginners guide, which i found in this section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
Step 2 & 5 are, what you are intrested about.
Just read carefully and follow the instructions and there will be no problems.
Good Luck

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!
