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..

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.

I know the thread but what I mean is that the latest version (v4) has been released since 21 Nov 2011 and my latest kernel update for Android 2.3 was just yesterday. SO my question is: with my current kernel will it still be supported?

If you can't find any answer in the sony thread, then why don't you tried it out by yourself?
In case something will not work, you can always go back with a backup.

I'm just a little scared. I have been an iOS user since the first build of iOS up to the iPhone 4S and I'm new to android. I've got my phone for 1 week now.
I'm just scared to brick it and then not being able to restore it. How do I backup?
You can make a nand backup with recovery (usually called clockworkmod). its like a "BIOS" for android.
You need to install it thus. Is useful to flash rom and so on..
But if you are new to it, inform yourself very well before do anything, and search all over XDA for possible answers.

Yeah I've seen this Clockwork in the Play Store, I'll guess I'll download it from apktop or something. Can you recommend me some threads to take a look at?
Clockwork recovery cannot be found on google play..
You need to search for it on XDA. I found this thread which contains kernels with Clockworks recovery:

Sorry but I can't help u more than this, since I don't know anything about your phone. Every device has different way to achieve root, and to install recovery.

I have used this version of root and it has worked but not up to the full potential of other roots that use clock work mod recovery with it. You could try rebooting your tablet and if that doesnt help i would recommend using the type of root.

I also have the Canadian version Tablet P5113 and managed to mess up things badly using that file you mention, CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifibby-gtp5113.
After rooting and upgrading firmware to 4.2.2 I soon discovered the Tablet ran too slow. So I decided to go back to Stock Build running android 4.1.1 but I did NOT back a backup image, doh!
So my only option was to take a chance in downloading a "Stock Firmware" off the internet.
NOW, I've discovered that I cannot install Canadian Banking Apps without getting an error, "Your Device isn't compatible with this version".
I think the reason is because of the Build.Prop file is no longer showing Canada as the country and also a few other entries that have the "Espresso10wifibby" named. Argg. I should have left things alone.
What I was wondering is, if you would be able to take a look at your Build.Prop File, and either private message me or post your configuration and settings on this site?

first of all to flash a rom you need your device to be rooted, is your device rooted? second do you know for sure that this rom is for your device? because if you try you will brick and break your tablet.

so pretty much android is allot like windows in many ways, its pretty much a computer, the only thing thats missing is admin privileges which is called rooted for android, it pretty much gives you access to messing with the entire device such as maybe your tablet comes with stupid bloatware apps that you dont use and they are taking up space, rooted devices can remove thouse apps, but you would have t be carefull, some of them can break your device if you delete them. now flashing is pretty much installing windows 8 on a windows 7 computer. so say your phone/tablet was only updated to android 2.2 (which is a older android version, we are at 4.3 right now and googles working on 4.4 as we speak!) and the people who made the device dont support it anymore is pretty much saying your stuck at a low version, its outdated, buy the newer better one for 200 $ more. thats where android comes in handy, you flash whatever version of android you want on your device, or you could install the same version but another devices interface such as touchwiz for samsung phones, maybe you want htc's sense instead of touchwiz.

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.

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.

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

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...
