[Q] Custom ROM for MID knock-off tablet

I have sh***y tablet with some useless modified version of android ( or at least seems so). I'd like to know if there is custom android ROM for those cheap chinese tablets that are on the market right now. And also how to flash it eventually

Ive got the same man. I cant even find out how to put it into recovery mod. Its not worth the time or effort.

I have one of those tablets too... They are a ****, I should have saved those $100... in order to buy a real tablet!

Help is here!
Hey guys, I completely agree that these tablets are useless right out of the box. After doing a lot of searching I found some custom ROM's that make these tablets 1000% better. Just got to techknow.freeforums.org/wm8650-1-3-0-hybrid-honeycombmod . There is a forum where you can identify your tablet and then download one of these amazing ROM's. You can thank me later.

If any of you would bother searching, you'll notice that there are a few dozen different threads regard chinese tablets and custom roms. You need to identify which tablet you have, what chipset it's running and then read through the threads.

SAME HERE - TREK HD 9020a = total PoFS!! Lasted less than 2 months b4 it bricked
Yep I was dumb enough to believe the douchebag at AT&T when he told me I could get a new nice which was supposed to be a Samsung tablet but they were out & conveniently said they wouldn’t get anymore of the Samsung’s in so I would have to take the trek junk or nothin. It lasted 2months tops b4 it bricked all on its own somehow - guy I got it from said there wasn’t anything they could do so basically I got f’d paying several hundred dollars 4 a 5 dollar made in China sweat shop piece of fn **** bcuz I had to pay 10 per month no matter what til the time was up or I had paid off what was supposed to be FREE.!! YEAH RIGHT! If any1 was curious what phone I got with the tablet I got this Samsung note 5 - total price of SH!T too & the 1 & only time I have ever left my jailbroke iPhone b4 or since. Lol. But i found the old trek hd 9020a & figured I’d c if by now maybe some1 had a good recovery rom & a way to load it onto a bricked device. Can any1 help please? Thanks in advance - sorry it was a bit long. Only thing it will do is bring up the AT&T android logo screen at the start & the stays on anywhere from a few seconds to maybe a minute then it goes right back to unresponsive blank screen til ya do another hard reset.

I think I just hard bricked my Atrix 2

HI Guys,
So I just tried to flash the Supercharged v7 rom from the ICS leak and now my phone wont turn on. When I have the battery in it heats up a lot, so I think it's trying to turn on.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Thanks

Little more info please.
Were you on the ICS leak before you tried to flash it? Or GB?
Also any LED lights on?
Have you tried a different battery? Will it boot into fastboot? Hold both voume buttons down while it's off and then press and hold the power button.
And for future reference you should have posted this on SC7's thread as it involves the ROM. Keeps the forum a little tidier.

Hi Sorry... Here is some more info:
Yeah I have tried getting it to boot while holding down both volume buttons, but nothing happens. I was on super the ICS leak when I tried to flash, and no LED lights turn on.
Would any more info be helpful? Sorry, I am new to the android scene (had an iphone before)
Thanks

Ok, sounds like a hardbrick, however, the only thing I would try is to get your hands on another battery and see if it boots that way. Possibly borrow one from an AT&T store?
If it doesn't boot with a new battery it's probably an expensive paperweight now.
How did you flash it? With our new recovery? You didn't use the bootstrapper APK did you?

I used the new recovery. I will bring it to an AT&T store and try a new battery.

You sure you used boot menu? AND did you try to "flash" it? Or did you do a system restore....
Also did the phone die in the middle of the flash? Or would it not reboot?

also just hard bricked.......

Yeah this is the same brick many of us got. the battery will get hot, don't know why, but take it out or it is toast along with the phone, many people had that so you may need a new one. your best bet to fix is to buy a cheap broken phone on ebay with a working main board, so basically you are buying a main board but cheaper because people don't realize the phone i worth anything when the screen is shattered and the camera is shot. then you can pop the new board in your old phone and you are good to go.

So I bought a cheap Atrix2 (with a broken screen) in working condition along with a T5 torx screwdriver on Ebay, then watched on youtube how to replace the screen of an A2 thus figuring out how to replace the motherboard. I most thank lkrasner for suggesting it.

Bricked my phone
I got my phone bricked now..i cant boot the phone and the battery gets hot when i tried to boot the phone.

Please help.

Try and get it replaced with your warranty that's pretty much your only option with a hard brick

It worked for me :laugh: search for this video on youtube "Motorola Atrix 2 Take Apart Repair Guide" And before minute 3 you will know how you can exchange the motherboard your self! Make sure your new motherboard is in working condition and enjoy your Atrix 2.

We have a guide for that guys.

Same here!!!

[Q] So.. a good old fashioned brick, need help.

So, as title says, I think I managed to brick my tab for good, but you never know, so I'm asking for ideas.
Basically while I was rooting it the power of the building went off, and like a dumb monkey I was rooting it with the desktop PC instead of the laptop
Now it doesn't turn on, download mode doesn't work, if I plug it on PC gives a wrong name and fails to find the drivers (that were already installed and working before). I tried removing the battery to make sure it wasn't in some weird stuck/bootloop situation, but it didn't change anything.
Other ideas? I'm willing to try more or less anything at this point
Edit:
If it helps, it is a p3110 (galaxy tab 2 7.0 wifi only)
And the only sign of life I get is by plugging it on the PC it keeps detecting for a second the cpu (OMAP4430)

If you cant get into download mode then it needs a jtag. Sad to hear. Most times it's a user flashing the wrong recovery/rom. Never power loss.

Talk about bad luck... Sadly what you have right now ia called a hard brick. Your gonna need a Jtag to bring your device back to life. You can contact certain people that offer that service for around 40.00$ I wish you goodluck.

Never power loss.

I thought it was because the transfer of the PDA was halted midway since the PC was turned off by the power failure. Oh well...

Seems I can't find any that do it for the p3110 here in Italy, I might have to ship it overseas, so I figure it'd be more like 75+$
Is trying to send it back to Samsung worth a try?

Hi,
i have same problem with Galaxy Tab 2 P5100 several month ago. If your device is bricked and can't be turned on in download mode best solution for you is sending it to Samsung. Because Galaxy Tab 2 it is impossible to repair it with JTAG yet. I've visited a lot of masters in my country - all said that it is unbrickable now. Also i've visited official Samsung service and they proposed to replace entire board of my tablet because it they can't repair it programmatically.

I assume you tried booting into recovery?

Any chance ODIN detects it ? Anything at all.....

Tried both, even on other two PCs, but no signs of life. I guess I'll just send it back to Samsung and see what happens

Samsung seems to be quite open to ignoring similar details, I'll just say "it doesn't boot up" and see.
It worked a couple of years back when I sent back a galaxy one with issues reading the external SD that would boot into a custom rom
And a clearly opened monitor that I broke trying to get the panel out to do a DIY projector ;D

'star i9300' Samsung galaxy s3 clone.

All i really wanna know is if this phone is worth a buy?!
has anyone had one? coz it seems a little too cheap to me.

15 quid on ebay!

you shouldn't really buy a clone these phone are usually, malware infested and you cannot guarantee the quality of the phone.
What is your budget, I can recommend a phone for you

I guess not but It would probably wouldn't well work anyway.
Then again with such a budget, you could probably get old blackberry or a flip phone.
So you you are will to risk it, go for it

maybe you can go to a repair shop to get your phone fixed, surely it shouldn't be more than 50 quid

A huge help here guys... soft or hard bricked?

First things first... bear with me because the story is long
A friend of mine was trying to update his Xoom 2 MZ608 to some custom rom from here (I really don't remember which one was).... but it seems he is a very anxious person and tried to flash a MZ602 into this MZ608 tablet... well, unnecessary to say he bricked the tablet...
Few days later, after he struggled at all efforts he could find, he totally gave up and sold this device to me.... I really thought it would be an easy job, as long I'm used to do these things.... but, turns out, it wasn't =D
what is happening?
the tablet got stuck on Motorola logo with Dual-Core written below of it...
- i cannot access RSD, for some weird reason
- when I try to go to Android Bootloader, i got a "battery low, cannot program" message ((even if the tablet spent 2 days plugged))
- for some reason, SOMETIMES i can access using fastboot, but, as long something is completely messed up inside, the tablet can't read the battery values property and turn off way before i can send any command to it....
what you guys advice me to do?? I took this tablet into a Motorola certified shop here and they said me they don't do this kind of job anymore.... all 3 shops said the same thing....
any help?? =)
Cheers =)

Are you selling it? I would be interested in buying at a fair price.
I am the one compiling the Xoom roms again for Wingray. (using Schischu's sources)
