Good morning All!
This is my first post here, hopefully I post in the right place. I have an old TPT, perfect device for my kids, all it need to do is run Zoodles. Was running fine with CM9, then one day, a couple of months back, it got stock on the Lenovo boot splash. Was getting ready to move so it made it in a box.
Trying to fix it now. Nut looks like I am in need of some advice and direction.
This is what I have done so far.
Boot into recovery kernel and tried to restore from my backup I had done before putting CM9 on it. Tried factory reset, None of which works.
The closest I got is with the restore of my backup, then when It rebooted, Ut got past the first Lenovo boot splash, we see Nvidia splash, then Animated Lenovo splash start, then device turns off and then back on.
Within the recovery kernel when I look at the logs, there is complaints about /data being in read-only mode during restore. I cannot unmount or format /data.
I think at this stage my best chance is to restore to stock with NVFlash. I am a little uncomfortable doing this without some advice first.
I am trying to find the model details of the device, but needless to say that being my kids tablet, all stickers are gone. I do have the device open but I am unable to track a; model number inside.
Could anyone assist? I am a professional IT, but My android knowledge is limited.
Thank you.
Hi!
Unfortunately without knowing the exact model, you have no idea what is safe to flash.
Because you can't get into into the system...no help there. Most devices have model numbers inside by the battery.
I'd Google any numbers you do find inside, until one leads you to your device. But you need to be 1000% certain before flashing firmware....if you flash the wrong firmware, chances are the device will hard brick and that will be the end of it.
Not sure what we can do to help really. You can ask in the general Q&A section, but be careful what advice you take. No one can guess what device you have, and if anyone suggests firmware based on a guess....don't flash it. Maybe someone can help you determine without a doubt what model it is tho...

Yes, its a Lenovo ThinkPad tablet 1 (TPT)
If its Lenovo think pad, then you need to ask here....and specifically state the model number you found. You probably need to return it to stock, so you need to find out how to do that, and where to find the firmware for your exact model. Don't use anything not specifically for your model. The guys in the Lenovo section know those devices best, hopefully they can help.

Hello,
I have an old polaroid dual sim , it's not working very well so I'd like to speed it up by placing a custom rom on it. Unfortunately XDA doesn't have any relevant info about roms for this phone.
If anyone knows more about this phone or where to find the things i'm looking for, I'd be very glad.
Thanks in advance

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately low spec and low popularity devices like this just don't usually have ROMs developed for them, I can't find anything at all for this particular device. I found a thread that claims to be able to root Polaroid devices here:
Polaroid All in One - Root, Un-Root, Play Store, Should work on other devices
You could try that, but I can't say whether it's going to work or not, so it'll be trial and error. And please be aware that attempting an unknown method like this can be quite dangerous as the outcome is unknown, and stock firmware doesn't seem to be readily available to repair your phone in the case that something goes wrong.
Good luck!
Thread closed, thanks.
Hello, I have SIII i9300 international and I would like to speed up my phone. So I figured it could be done with flashing some new ROM onto it, because I´ve been having stock ROM for 3 years on it and I did not mind at all. I have no idea about anything concerning this, except that I need a ROM, some flashing software and a bit of luck so I won't brick my phone. Thanks for the pointing in right direction.
How do I perform backup of ROM?

I would suggest posting your question in the specific Q&A Help thread for your device > http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/help-thread-galaxy-s3-question-t2690307
One of the experts should be able to help you.
Good Luck.
Before I continue to the point of this thread, I just wanna say hello, and as this is my first post on XDA, I'm sorry if I miss any important information. If you want to help me, just ask and I'll tell you as quick as possible. Now to the problem.
My Matrix Smartphone D4090(apparently a chinese ripoff off HTC) with Jelly Bean on it, rooted by Kingo, broke down when I used the ROM Manager to change the boot animation. By broke down, I mean it got soft bricked. All I can do is turn it on(which leads me to nowhere), use the chinese recovery or the "No command!" recovery. I tried factory resetting on both ways multiple times, but nothing happened. As I don't have a backup, I'm pretty much f*cked when it comes to the stock ROM. So, can I install an official ROM(CyanogenMod, Paranoid, doesn't matter) meant for HTC on my ripoff? And, if I can, can I get information on which HTC is most similar to my phone? And if I can't, can someone instruct me on how to solve the bootloop?
Phone specs(as much as I remember, it got removed from the shop, so information may lack):
512MB RAM
1GB ROM
1.0 GHz Dual Core
Jelly Bean Android
Camera 2/0.3 MP
Apps installed before the bootloop(again, information may lack because my memory isn't great):
Xposed Framework
MyDogs
ROM Manager(Clockwork&the one with the golden wing on the icon)
Facebook Lite
APUS Booster
Kingo SuperUser
Titanium Backup
Skype
Don't remember anything more before the problem, sorry. I'll edit if I remember more.
So, to summarize the question:
Can I install an official ROM(CyanogenMod, Paranoid, doesn't matter) meant for HTC on my ripoff? And, if I can, can I get information on which HTC is most similar to my phone? And if I can't, can someone instruct me on how to solve the bootloop/soft brick?
Thanks for reading this post if you did, and it'd be VERY appreciated if you could offer useful information on these questions. Again, thanks.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
I'm sorry to hear about your trouble. If your phone has a removable battery, you could try to disconnect that battery for a short while then put it back, as that procedure sometimes helps "reset" a misbehaving device, but there's no promises. There is no forum specifically for the Matrix Smartphone D4090 but you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. Since your device is not widely used, please be patient and give the experts plenty of time to respond.
Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. I'll ask around to get some extra information. I put the battery in and out multiple times when I noticed it won't boot up.
I have been searching, reading, and attempting everything I could find to fix this tablet for night and days. Some root/busybox detectors/verifiers gave me different results. Before this I knew nothing about this world so i'm a real greenhorn here. All I know so far is my device is rooted because of build no. V2.0.1.JRO03C.user.root.20131219. Afterwards some apps tell me I'm rooted and some told me no. I'm afraid something went terribly wrong with the files. I can't unroot,flash a new recovery, install adb, pretty much nothing works. All the apps I've tried told me an unknown bootloader. I just want to either return the tablet to original factory default or take control of the thing. This is the info I gathered from settings>about :
Model NX007HD8G
Android V. 4.1.1
Kernel 3.0.8
Serial no. YF031412173
And the build number above
At the moment I don't know what other info you guys might need so forgive me if I'm not thorough. Please, help me take control of my device.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
Although there are some guides that could help you solve your problem, none of them seem to have working links for you to download and use.
Because of this, I would recommend posting in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Please note that in order to post, you will need to create a XDA account.
Good Luck! - gsstudios
hello
I appreciate the pointer. as you can see, im officially a XDA rookie member,proudly. Very much admire the things you guys do here on your spare time. When I first came upon this site, i knew right away this is a huge community, well accomplished and highly respected. That is why when I came to a dead end, this was my first pick.
Hope to see you again,

Hi everyone,
I have recently come into an interesting and quite difficult problem to solve. I am not sure if I can solve it, but I figured I would pose the question. The tablet is an Ematic EGQ223BL . Someone gave it to me saying something was wrong with the touch screen. However, after doing some research, it seems that someone has flashed it with the wrong ROM which has resulted in the tablet booting up, but with no support for touch. The tablet is a 5.1.1 Lollipop and the website has no ROM for this device. Nowhere else seems to have it either. I would love to save the tablet because the reviews are 4 stars given it is generic. I am a Techie, so I would like to see it return to it's original glory if at all possible. Does anyone have links to a stock ROM for this device? She said she wanted it to be rooted and it came back to her like this. The ROM it was flashed with has a start screen that simply says "Tablet PC moving Forward" I was able to find a way to get into the recovery, but it does no good when I try to flash it. I use an SD card, I apply the update, and then I get an error. I am thinking because I cannot get into development options. TBH, I don't know what to do at this point. Should I chuck it in the garbage with the rest of the dinosaur tech, or is it redeemable? Thanks in advance!:good:
