Root it with chinese program zhuodashi, You can find instructions from internet.
If interested in custom rom, You can dump it with romdump, get system.tar and do with it what You want, then convert system.tar to system.img and flash using RKandroid tool (to make tablet flash-mode, press and hold volume+ and connect to PC, then release volume button). You need Linux to convert tar to img, and don't unpack tar in windows because MS doesn't support ext3 FS, You loose important links inside archive.

Custom Rom for DGM T-1006
I realize this is a very old thread but I was wondering if any efforts were made to create a custom rom for this device

Your device must first be rooted. Then install a custom recovery. Then you'll be able to install ROMs via recovery.
It's best to include what device and model you are speaking of, especially with questions such as this.
Please note:
It's not appropriate to bump your own thread here at XDA, at least not so soon. We all have our own lives too. Sometimes it can take some time before someone like myself comes along. Have patience.
XDA-Developers stresses using the sites search function before creating topics/threads.

First of all, thank you for answers and advice for me
My device rooted, also installed RECOVERY, I now want to through the PC to /cache/recovery/command write command, let RECOVERY automatically install custom ROM ( not the OTA upgrade pack )

It would be much easier to install ROMs with your recovery. Faster too. Otherwise you will need to install and setup the Android SDK. Data rates between device and PC with ADB are like 9600 bps, really slow...

Your professional answers, I learned a lot, thank you again:good:

[Completed] [Q] What is a recovery.img and what is it for?

Hey guys,
I was looking for a tutorial and a description about what is a recovery.img and if there is always the need to root any Android or Smartphone (even if it comes with Ubuntu mobile OS) to install a custom ROM.
My second question is about the Super User Apps:
I always see tutorials in which, after flashing the recovery.img they say we need to install a, i.e., CWM_SuperSU_xxx.zip. I do not know why to do that if I have my phone rooted and all I need to do is to boot it and go to the Play Store and install the latest SuperSU app by ChainFire, i.e.
All these questions have a single porpuse: To know what I am doing, because I do not like to perform tasks as an robot. I have a brain that loves to know and learn and be aware of what its doing.
Thank you very much for your help. Maybe you could point me to the documents I need to read to now all these questions.
By the way:
I rooted a year ago my HTC One-V and installed a Custom ROM before and It was working perfect until somebody stolen it from me.
My device now is a Samsung Galaxy GT-i9300. I am from Perú, and my Service Provider is Claro.
I use Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04 and I have installed Heindall from the Ubuntu repositories. Until now I just read tutorials of how to root my phone, but I do not want to perform tasks without knowing what are them for.
So I want to wait before rooting my GT-i9300 until I know what I am really doing with my phone.
Thank you in advance!

Regarding Rooting, Please see [Q] What is rooting? Particularly #7
When it comes to Recovery, See XDA Wiki. Also See XDA University for Android Flashing Guide.
If your Device comes with Linux, then you should not use Android Rooting programs unless advised to do so. Weather Device Recovery works with Linux or not depends on Case by case basis.
In case of additional questions, please post in Android General

My device is a very popular one, a GS3 GT-i9300. It is an Android phone.
My PC, where I am going to connect my phone to root it that has Ubuntu Linux 14.04 and 12.04 installed.
Maybe you miss understood what I wrote.

So if I want to use CWM Recovery, then I can look for the latest version? Or there is a special version for my phone. Afaik it is exactly like my PC when I install a dual boot with Windows. The bootloader (maybe Grub2) is like the Samnsung bootloader and Recovery and my Android are like Ubuntu and Windows dual booting. Is that right?
And hence I do not need a special CWM Recovery for my phone, it should be a simple recovery.img installer but versions differs in features and installed programs. Is that correct? And I just can look for the latest one.
Mauricio Mora

Thank you very much @Perseus71
Your links are very useful for my purpose.
Mauricio Mora

So...
In simple words, it is like my PC.
I inicially have a single OS, Android. Maybe a Recovery but installed by the manufacturer.
Then if I install a Custom Recovery, it is like creating a dual boot: Android and Recovery.
Then if I install a ROM it is like removing a Linux distribution in my PC and installing a new one.
Recovery gives me some tools like backup my personal settings and data and even my apps.
In those terms, there should be ways to install dual boot Android and Ubuntu Touch? Or which ever ROMs in dual boot?
Mauricio Mora

If you want to install CWM, please visit [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.3.2 for GT-I9300
Mind you that is for GSM Phone only.
Yes Bootloader = Grub but Linux/ubuntu do not have a concept of Recovery in traditional android sense. In that wany Grub does do the job of a recovery. You may want to google for "What is Android Recovery ?"
If you still have continued questions, please post them in Galaxy S III General forum.

[Completed] Arnova 10cG3 softbricked, dont know how to recover

I have been searching for answer over 10 days, but still can't figure out how to resolve this. I don't how exactly it bricked, it just couldn't start anymore. I can get into recovery menu, but there isn't any option to recover android. It was rooted before, and worked normally. I cant find any other way to flash any rom on it. I appreciate any help on this matter, tnx in advance!

Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist!
Please register for an account so you can post to the rest oif the site. The [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] thread of the > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting will provide a good start to resolve your issue.
What seems confusing is that there may be some Arnova's made by Archos. Archos has a forum, but sadly, Arnova does not (not finding much about your device either).
At any rate, try the thread/forum above, and be patient with regard to a response. This seems to be a rare device, so it would be harder to get the attention you need.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

The other way
I understood that the complete system is wiped out. I can use adb while its in recovery menu. I used it to transfer official system image onto it, but in its options i cant find it. I transferred it to multiple locations, all of them can be seen in recovery menu but all are empty. I wonder if there is a way to flash some other android version on it? Or some ROM like CWM, but apparently there are no official releases. And since i am not very good at this i wonder how to make sure that kernel is OK? Can such thing be done? It has Android system recovery <3e>

CWM is a recovery, not a ROM, but can be used to flash ROMs.
With 3e, you should be able to flash the stock ROM for the device via adb (called side loading). So that may work for you.
Hope this helps.

Is there any custom recovery that works on all android devices?

Hi, the title says it all. Is there any custom recovery other than Philz, CWM or TWRP that works on any android devices? I've been searching for android custom recovery on the internet but didn't found any recovery that works with my tablet. I really want to install a custom recovery as I want to have those custom roms like Cyanogenmod.

Hi,
does your tablet is listed on the xda forum ? if yes > better to make a research from there.
AFAIK the 3 recovery you talk about are the famous one.
It doesn't really answer to your question but hope to point you to the right direction.

Recoveries are device specific, they contain a bunch of low level, device specific code. They are fairly simple, so comparatively much simpler to port compared to actual ROMs, but they still need to be built specifically for a given device.
But unless your device already has custom ROMs available, merely having a custom recovery will do nothing to give you ROMs. Both ROMs and recoveries need to be ported to your specific device, and neither are much good without the other.

TWRP
use TWRP. like it alot
