thanks for that great help

If there are English recoveries out there, just flash one over your existing one. I think that's the best advice you'll get without us knowing what device you have.

htc one x clone

thanks for a decent reply and i hope this will help you to help me
many thanks

Ah. If it's a clone, that's gonna be harder, as there's no way to know beforehand that a certain custom recovery .img will work. I think you have 3 choices:
Find out from someone else who has your same device
Try flashing a custom recovery designed for another device (such as the real HTC One X)
Stay with what you've got
If you choose #2, the changes could be irrecoverable. That's just part of the deal when you buy a clone, unfortunately.

Thanks & Regards

Frederuco is the man to look for in regards to beginner guides. Try this to begin with:
http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html
There are a few good ROMs out there but I recommend Katkiss.

I too recommend KatKiss. I am running the 4.3 flavor and it is just awesome IMO.
Have a look through that guide. If you have any issues, let me know and I will assist. There are other methods too like Thing O Doom's PERI tool if that doesn't work. The biggest thing is to make sure you have a USB cable that works with a PC. Otherwise you cannot root.
Stick with TWRP unless you want to run Android Revolution (based in stock ICS firmware). In that case use CWM. And do not ever use ROM Manager with your TF101.

I have a tf101 which I rooted successfully with Frederuco's method using EasyFlasher, then got my Other Half another tf101 for Christmas and EasyFlasher didn't work, PERI did (although I somehow managed to delete the stock ROM whilst flashing) which didn't annoy me too much as I wanted her to be running KatKiss anyway)
What's the danger of using ROM Manger with the tf101, I use to reboot into recovery though have never used it for flashing ROMs or such like.

Ziggy, I figured you would have seen this since you've been around so long.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671598
Don't use ROM Manager to update or install CWM recovery or try to flash updates.
I just use the buttons to reboot to recovery.

Samsung and Asus are completely different beasts. Forget everything you know so far about flashing and you'll probably be OK.
Do you have TWRP on the device - if not hop over to the dev forum and get yourself TWRP installed and then you can flash any stock Asus or other rom. Recommend you try CROMi-X first

Zenithink C90A Tablet help needed!

Hey everyone, My first post on here so please bear with me as this maybe in the wrong thread.
I purchased this tablet from eBay and it arrived with some form of custom KitKat 4.4.2 ROM installed on it which is all well and good all though i would like to:
Install Stock ROM
Root Device
Reason for wanting the stock ROM is because in theory it should be a lot more stable than what the device currently is but following both set of instructions on their website proves to not work at all (unless I'm doing something wrong as not found out how to enter download mode yet!).
Is there another way of installing these files at all? Also any help on getting into download mode and recovery mode properly would be of great assistance!
At this point could i also ask if there is a really good KitKat ROM for this device that will support the rockchip?
Then last of all i would like to root the device, Again any help would be greatly appreciated and all info regarding this device can be found on their website as i can't post links yet.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully someone can 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...
