Trying to smooth out my tablet before college stats back up. My model is a gt-n8013, and i have already downloaded the files for the Redemption Rom onto the internal storage, and did the zedomax root. I am currently staring at the cwm mode, and a bit unsure of how to proceed. I read through every post of the original thread for the note 10.1 redemption rom, and tried to put my first post there, but was redirected to the Q&A. I would really appreciate if someone gave a clear-cut (for dummies, if you want to call it that) step by step on what thing to selected, in order, while in (high-on-android) CWM mode? also I am unsure if i am to use the whole downloaded file i got for the rom, or just select certain files that are specific to my GT-n8013. I did spend hours reading through every post in the original thread as well as many other things on google, but I am still a bit confused on where to go to get it right. I apologize for any inconvenience, and greatly thank all of you in advance, as you have helped me find out just how limitless things can be.
Also, I have never heard of aroma, and can't find out how to get into it on cwm...

If your in cwm first thing is to back up your stock rom to external SD.
Hi,
I have seen several options there, but I am just wondering if there are any other alternatives.
I have read about odin, but that one cannot install custom roms like Cm10 and so
And if I want to install that, I need to use fastboot or simular, right?
I have tried rom manager also.
That option works until I have to reboot the phone and it installs everything automatically, wich is good.
But I don't know if it finishes without any errors or lets say I am not able to boot into Android and use that program, it's not good.
I have been searching for an accessible solution where I dont need to turn the phone into recovery mode. I am visually impaired and this option is not the most convenient.
So, can someone give any tips?
Or have I found all options as of now?
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but hope someone can give any tips!
Many thanks for any help!
Hello to members here.
Would be really grateful for any help with info' regarding my Galaxy Grand Dous GT-19082 running on 4.1.2. I like the phone a lot, and don't like the fact I accidentally deleted the wall paper picker and also the program monitor from the system with root delete app. So I can not use live wall paper now, or the program monitor
As said before, phone rooted, think using/has CWM. Apart from that it's standard.I didn't back up my phone with Titanium back up etc unfortunately.
I have spent/wasted a day and a half so far trying to find info' on the web looking how I can re install these to the phone. Potentially frustrating. I have looked for the apk files but could not locate.
I am fairly basic with my knowledge on this techie stuff, so if anyone can explain as simply as possible and step by step. I would be most thankful. If I could pay somebody to do it, then I would probably be keen, just want my phone as it was again...
Thanks again, and respect in advance for any helps/info' and advise.
Sincere regards, Alex
It's not actually a big deal.
But you have to be sure what ROM are your phone is on.
It's better for you to post here on this thread
Anyway if it's stock ROM, it's relatively simple, ask on the Troubleshooting Forum for someone to post the app, and then all you have to do is to flash them by CWM. (Or use root explorer manually to install them)
Thanks Silverfox, for your info'.
I guess it's a stock ROM as I didn't change ROM as far as I know. Just standard root. I have tried to see which ROM I am using, but cant see anywhere, even under settings/about device. Have looked on google for ways to see which ROM I am using, but not much useful info'.. Any ideas how I can check.?
Thanks again:good:
Hello! This is my first post on this forum, but I'll try to be helpful.
Well, I got my hands on a tablet. Which tablet? I have no idea. The "About page" on the settings only says that the Model number is M1706. And nothing else. (Besides that it's running on Android 4.2.2)
Since Android Lollipop is out, I've been dying to try it. Unfortunately, I don't have a device that supports it, so I though I'd try to install it on this random tablet that I have.
And here's where the problems start.
I tried flashing a AOSP Lollipop build to the tablet, but it always aborted. (From this thread)
Then I tried to install a custom recovery to see if that would help.
Managed to find the TWRP apk and install it. Unfortunately the app crashes when I open it.
So I tried downloading it from the App Store. The thing is that my tablet doesn't have the App Store app.
I tried many different versions, but none of them were able to be opened. It's like a process was killing the app, I think. I have no idea, though.
I then installed Clockworkmod ROM Manager to see if that would work.
It installed and opened, but it can't flash ROMS unless my tabled is rooted.
Since this is a mistery tablet, I don't think there are any root methods for it.
That's my situation right now.
Any suggestions on what I can do to achieve my goal of installing Android Lollipop on my tablet?
Hi,
I have to say, you're swimming in dangerous waters here.... And so far you've been extremely lucky. You can't flash anything to just about any device, unless it's made specifically for your device. Many times trying to do so can brick (destroy) your device.
So you'd be best to stop trying to install things made for other devices.
As far as your device getting Lollipop, that seems doubtful. I say that because it's on Jelly Bean.... Not even kit Kat. Of course that's an educated guess though. And until you find out what actual device you have, There's not much we can do for you. Also, you won't know if there's anything out there for your device... Cause you don't know what device you have.
I'd work on solving that mystery... And go from there. ?
Good luck.

Eyyup. I know what I'm doing is very dangerous, but this tablet is basically useless without any form of Google apps. Besides, I think it's a prototype tablet, so even if I brick it, I won't be sad. I got it for free, after all.
I'm trying my best to figure out which device it is. Usually when you have Google apps in a device, Google Play store shows its type when you install an app using Google Play Store on a desktop. Since I can't get Google Play Store in it, though, it may be a lot harder. I still need to try installing Google+ to see if it works. Will come back with the results in a bit.

I have a Wacom Cintiq Companion Hybrid ( DTH-A1300L ) android version needs help in so many ways. I bought it because I really need one for one of my jobs, yet can't really afford the crazy overpriced insanity that is a new Wacom so the reason it was so cheap was "can't connect to the Play Store. I know, hella foolish, I thought I could fix it by rooting it, but this thing is like level 10 as there is so little info as no one wanted to touch them it seems. I did find one guy on this forum that at one point rooted I am fair to average at rooting and the understanding of all that surrounds it. I have happily and successfully rooted my phones and tablet but I am no pro and fairly good at having gaping invisible holes in my info or logic when it comes to things like this.
Most frustrating is this thing is stuck on android 4 . 1 . 1 for no good reason I can imagine. It has dev tools installed after factory data reset but no google apps. (It arrived factory data reset)
I tried the relevant framework and store and the delete the cache trick to no avail. It can not update and can not even get to the Play Store.
Sooo the bad news is; no Google apps. No updates offered and stuck on some weird what looks like not stock version of 4 .1 .1 Jellybean.
When I plug it into my PC via USB it does not even show up in device manager.
The good news is I rooted it. Checked with root checker (unfortunately for now its Kingroot)
1. I have no idea how to make a back up from here. (no USB connection to PC issue)
or
2. what rom will work as my device is not listed on any of them. It would be great to find the stock rom as I am afraid this things cool and weird cintiq mode, pen function like abilities may be disabled or rendered useless with just any android rom.
Is there anyway to somehow find the stock OS on my device through boot loader? A place to find my stock or like rom. A clever work around?
Thanks in advance. for any who take up the challenge and offer any help or thoughts.
Cheers
Anyone know
What clockwork or custom recovery should I use?

Excuse my noobness. Flashify looks good, I installed it, but don't I need some image from somewhere either the stock OS or a new one for it to work? Not sure how to get Gapps from there.
It did I think, find something, a "restore kernel" and "stock recovery" I am unsure did it find my stock kernel and recovery and or ROM and I should boot from that? ( again apologies a-lot of new info and its getting a bit swirly) In otherwords since my device is not listed any where and at this point any working Android version will do, I am wrong to try and reboot from this? These devices are supposed to come stock on 4.2.2, so I am hoping perhaps incorrectly it will go back to that? That would be ideal at this point.
So I can work again whatever works.
Also I a bit concerned about the "date" I posted from on one of these. I think I posted from the Wacom. Perhaps the problem in deeper than I thought as that is Linux time 0?
I think it self corrected but originally it said I posted on Jan 1 1970...
As for custom ROM, I probably wont be able to make my own custom ROM, even though I would love to take to the time to learn, for now I have too many art and work related deadlines.
I was hoping for one that already existed that would work with my device.
Perhaps I misunderstood something about how all this works? Also I do not have Unbuntu. I should as I support an open internet, but WINE really does not run the Adobe products I need for work so
I am stuck with Windows.

If you just want to be able to install apps from the playstore then this is a simple alternative
https://www.xda-developers.com/unshackle-your-device-from-the-google-play-store-with-apkupdater/
If your phone is rooted then flashify can flash zips like gapps without the need for a custom recovery. If you are serious about trying to make your own rom/recovery then use a virtualbox in windows. http://www.osboxes.org/ has plenty of prebuilt virtual linux machines that will run on windows

I appreciate all your help. I got the "google of every kind from Gapps on has stopped" is over, which was intense as it popped up every few seconds, I somehow got that to quit by reloading the proper one from the APK Pure app which was an odd work around but nothing else was working. Still have this unsettling bare bones screen and none of the stock apps as well as it being stuck in 4.1.1. This device was made for 4.2. and I assume it was on here at one point.
I wonder if that alone could cause hardware issues. I thought about taking out the battery, until I realized that thing is inaccessible as a thing can be without wrecking the industrial glues and taking the entire thing apart which sounds
like an accident waiting to happen and possible making things worse. I imagine that is last case scenario.
Like I said I would love to make my stock reload, at this point that would be great as this thing seems unstable and no trick makes the play store work or allow me to sign into the device with my google email.
I think you are saying to make my own recovery/ROM of my own device I need to do the virtual box thing. Correct? Or is that for writing your own custom ROM? I can try that; make my own recovery that is, as it is not on CWM or TWRPs supported devices list so I have no choice and all in all would prefer the thing to load as if it was fresh out of the box not this 4.1. One serious hiccup I have found trying to use my PC is my device is not recognized as a storage device or otherwise. Not sure if this is due to the weird settings of Cintiq mode or simply because the thing is in a very weird state of 4.1.1. So that may make making changes via computer impossible. I am not the type to give up. Thanks again Saw
Here also is a sum up I added to a the just basic question of Can you find the Stock from a recovery device. Basically is there any way to return a device to stock with no ROMs available to do so, as in extract if from the device itself.
Additional backstory if helpful.
"I have a Wacom Cintiq Hybrid running Android 4.1 that is ( now ) rooted..
This is a very bad thing. The Real Stock ROM has palm rejection and all the drivers to make it work as a tool. So stock is the ideal but it is clearly not stock as my device supposedly came in the
box running 4.2 and with software and drivers to make it work properly with the pen. This has nothing. No software and the smallest amount of apps possible. Worse this is no custom ROM its on ( I think) as it would be the worst one ever and it was not rooted on arrival. I have no idea what happened before I got it. I may have made the mistake of rooting it really as I found out to my dismay there is no ROM support. So back to square one. I bought it ( very cheap for one of these ) "stuck and unable to go to the play store" and I did not realize until I got it, on a version of Android it was not meant for. Wacom is totally and woefully unhelpful in every way. They seem to want to quietly put this device behind them at the expense literally of their customers."
