[HELP] rooting/flashing custom rom on generic Tabet - General Questions and Answers

Hey there,
I recently bought an AMD A9 Cortex Dual Core MID Tablet from eBay and was wondering how to go about rooting and maybe flashing a custom ROM on this device.
I had managed to find a website saying to treat it like a nexus 7 when rooting. However I'm worried about possibly bricking it by flashing software not for this device. If anyone has got one of these devices and have managed to root and flash a custom ROM help would be much appreciated.

Buying a Cubot phone?

Hey!
Im concidering getting a Cubot A6589. Should I know anything about unbranded phones? I know I wont get the latest Android updates but I am a developer so I might be able to compile my own future updates for it. How would I root it or install a custom rom on it? Where would I find a custom rom for it if I bought it?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

HTC Desire 620G Dual Sim

I recently came into the possession of a HTC Desire 620G Dual Sim (it was my father's) Android 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.67, Chipset Mediatek MT6592 (Online is liste as android 4.4.4 but that is a lie). After days of searching the web and reading countless forums I came to the conclusion that this is a very unpopular and abandoned smartphone. I really want to change the android version on this phone, I know how to root, I learned from this forums. The only problem I have is that I can't find any android versions ported for this phone, I need anything newer than 4.4.2, I would like 4.4.4 or lollipop as i heard it runs better. I checked all custom androids none has support for this device, I cant even find this phone on the clockworkmod and TWRP list of devices. What do I do now? If I can't even install a custom recovery on this phone? So to sum this up, I need a custom recovery mode for this phone and a ported android version newer than 4.4.2. I would appreciate any help.

Hi, even if my answer has nothing to do with what you asked, you seem to have the abilities to make a backup copy of your stock rom, that's waiting that you still have your stock rom in that phone and it's european model.
Could you please be so kind to make a backup copy of your rom?
And by the way, there's at least one russian guy that has cooked one rom for this phone, even if it seems to have some issues yet.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm very sorry I flashed MIUI v5.8.27 Beta, a rom found on these forums ported by a guy, maybe the same guy you speak of. I regret it now, I need the stock rom back, I liked it better. I did found something over the web a stock rom but I'm to wuss to try it because there is a chance I'll brick my phone and this is the only phone I got. Do you want to try that stock rom? I'll find it again for you.

That's very kind of you. I have in fact found also a stock Rom, but is not the same the version as my phone's, plus is a Rom for phones sold in India and I bought mine at in Europe, so I prefer not to "risk" this time.
There are some sites that really have all the roms, but they want money to let you download anything, is quite "strange" and I will not say anything else about that.
Sadly, HTC doesn't provide free download for any of their devices, like they used to do and I am not sure about what could happen if I download and install one of those branded roms that can ba apparently downloaded.
Finally, what I want is simply recover the "normal" functionality of this phone, because after rooting, I lost the camera function, the whole system became absolutely unstable and getting worst, so now it resets itself without warning just like that and it's not providing any acoustical messages anymore, so I know I will never root again a phone with any of those "tools", I will do it old style, connecting with a command line terminal.
So maybe that Rom you're using may fit the bill for me, but I couldn't find a way to install cwm or twrp on this phone to install any cooked Rom and I've been really out of this chores for quite some time to know enough to find the right way to do this on my own.
So thanks for any help you can provide and I think it would be really nice to provide this Rom here because it's more than one person who needs it and apparently no one really cares about this phone, there are several people with these problems.

Startrail 8

Hey guys,
I just bought a Startrail 8 by LAIQ, after someone stole my cellphone, but i'm not that happy with it's firmware.
It has a Quad Core 1,25GHz processor, runs Android 6.0 and has 1 GB of RAM
1- So can someone tell me if there's a custom rom which is or should be compatible? and where can i find a good guide for doing it? Or is it simply impossible? cause i'm having a hard time finding anything online about it.
2- On another topic, the last time i rooted a devide (Oneplus1) i used Odin, but i was googling about my new cellphone, and found a guide where it explained how to "Flash" the latest official firmware (which i'm running on) and it also said i could install a Custom Rom without rooting my device (with Odin)? Is this possible and will i keep my warranty? And what exactly is the difference between flashing and rooting?
cheers and thanks in advance!

[Completed] installing a custom ROM on an unknown phone

So I recently dug out an old phone that a relative had bought from a local company. The company isnt very renowned so no ROMs are available. Through research, I found that there are a few people who have rooted and installed recovery, so i wanted to know if its possible to install a rom somehow? technically if theres a similar phone with similar specs, can it run that phones rom?
This phone has a mediatek mt6589 if it helps.

Hello,
We don't recommend flashing another device ROM into any other.
