[Q] Tutorial to upgrade Xoom MZ605 (3G+Wifi) to Jelly Bean

I seem to have found the ROM I need on the thread [ROM][JB] Team EOS 3 (Stable release), but I still need some help. My Xoom has ICS 4.0.3, and I want to upgrade to JB 4.1.1. Is there a step by step tutorial to upgrade Android?
I've already downloaded the rom (Xoom EU 3g - umts_everest / MZ601) and Google Applications from the links on that thread.
Last time I upgraded my Xoom, it was from stock Honeycomb to the current version of ICS. But I've followed a step by step tutorial listing everything from the downloads to the fastboot commands to get things done.
Sorry for (what I think is) such a simple question, but I'm really too careful with my device because I don't want to screw it.
Tks.
Edit:
I've found a great tutorial here in the forum. I still have some questions that I'll post there.
N00b tutorial: Flashing EOS3 to MZ604 Xoom (Wifi)

how to flash
It s very easy no tutorial needed for this
1. You need custom recovery
2. External SD card
Copy the Rom and the Google app zip files on the external sd
Start on recovery mode (when you see the logo Motorola after 2,3 seconds push the volume - after volume +)
Make wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data factory
After install zip file from external sd card, chose first the rom eos zip file
Make the same for google app zip file
Reboot
And it's ok

I am at a loss
I unlocked the xoom and upgraded to JB no problem. But once I was there I was unable to load anything from the play store. Nothing would get the play store app to boot even when I downloaded the apk from other sources. The web store was also useless. Even using the built in app that was supposed to block them from seeing that I was unlocked,still no good.
So basically, what good is rooting if you can't do anything ?

Dapeng A75 (Chinese phone) designated thread !!!

This thread is designated to the Dapeng A75. I think this is a very good phone but there are not many custom ROM's, kernel's or general guides concerning this phone, so here is mine. If everyone who knows something about this phone (Where to find custom ROM's, kernel's or anything interesting) could post it here this phone could have much more potential.
I will start it off with :

CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY
NOTE : I have tried this recovery and it's great !
NOTE 2 : I recommend using "Mobileuncle MTK tools", see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1baKZiizfVAHjj4SWyemsESYdmcw6FQLoUU59k6qCIZs/pub

ROM'S
(NOTE : I have never tried this ROM myself, so beware)
It is the original ROM from dapeng. (The download website is in Russian but is simple enough to understand)
Link : http://files.china-iphone.ru/21920120723_e1808_v75_hjy1.rar
(NOTE : I have tried this ROM and it is good with google apps included and root)
It is an android 4.0.4, rooted ROM
Link : http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/86487574/file.html
(NOTE : I have tried this ROM, the camera doesn't work and is impossible to restore even with nandroid backup.)
This ROM still has bugs, the website says : su (ROOT commands) doesn't work and recovery doesn't either so make sure to backup your current firmware

Help please !!!
Hi (I know this is my own thread), I tried to flash the LEWA ROM and the camera's stopped working. I then tried to flash the stock from dapeng and the front facing camera started working but not the back (main) camera. I have tried using SPMultiPortFlashDownload tool but none of the drivers work with my camera. Please can someone upload the ORIGINAL firmware with the U-boot.bin file. Thanks.

Phone fixed !

Some FAQ about HypnoToad install

Hi, if you are looking here, chances are you know what HypnoToad is - a modded KitKat CM for the Relay 4G:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528752
I am compiling here some of the questions I kept asking the devs and whose answers are scattered in the above (long) thread.
1-You WILL need the latest CWM. Since the download is in img format, you probably need to use a PC to install it. I found that the easiest was to use the free CWM app from the play store and update from CM.
2-HypnoToad is dirty-flashable over cm10.2.x stable. If you have it running, just reboot to your updated CWM (see above) and flash the latest zip ON TOP of your CM install, no need to wipe the phone (that is probably better, but if you want to keep your setup you can dirty flash).
3-You DO need to flash the new gapps for KitKat too
Please feel free to correct me, add new FAQs, etc.
AND THANKS TO THE DEVS!

Is also a fully supported (by TeamApexQ) version of CWM for the relay, in an update.zip form.

This recovery is better (cmw based) and more up to date (also zip):

Complete Guide to Root and Update Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Hi all.
Complete noob here - just wanted to document my journey for resurrecting my daughter's Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet to make it usable again.
It had stock rom on it (android 4.0.4) ICS and would not update. Consequently, none of the apps were working and basically it was ready for the trash.
Yes, it's 7 years old, but hey, why throw it in the trash - I thought I'd have a go at rooting and updating. It took me a couple of days but now it's done, it's updated to 7.1 Nougat and working flawlessly.
So here is my Journey - I hope it will help someone. Big thanks to all the Devs out there who have put countless hours into keeping this tablet alive (especially decatf who appears to be very nice person
This assumes no prior knowledge - but be warned - I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your device or if you "brick it". If that worries you do not proceed! By following the below guide, you will be wiping all data from your device so proceed with caution!!
The following worked for me to install Android Nougat on my device - mine is a GT-P7510 but I used the files for the GT-P7500 because when I tried the specific files for the P7510, they didn't work). You might have to get creative here and there to get yours to work!
1) Create folder on your PC / Mac computer desktop to put the required files in;
2) Download the files from here:
- Odin3-v1.85.zip - or do a search for it (this will be for "flashing" twerp onto your device)
- twrp311-20171009-p4.zip
- aosp-7.1-p4-20171005.zip
- P7500-open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170416.zip
- GalaxyTabHacks.com_SuperUser.zip
- USB drivers if you need them are here: http://gizmoword.com/Files/2017/09/24/samsung-usb-drivers/
3. Instal Twerp / Custom Recovery
Before you can install custom software (Nougat etc) you will need to root the tablet. Before you root the tablet, you need to install TWERP which will allow you access to things like backup and recovery etc.
To install TWERP follow this guide and ensure you make backup before proceeding to step 4 - that way you can always go back to your stock image if there are any problems.
https://theunlockr.com/2012/05/11/h...od-recovery-on-the-wifi-only-galaxy-tab-10-1/
NOTE: in the above, it mentions ClockWorkMod (CWM) - However CWM did not work for me, so after installing CWM - I then installed TWERP (they basically do the same thing). I am not sure if you can simply install TWERP instead of CWM - but I installed TWERP over the top of CWM after I had followed the above guide.
4. Root the tablet: The following guide was very helpful to me;
https://theunlockr.com/2012/05/18/how-to-root-the-wifi-only-galaxy-tab-10-1/
and / or this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361571
5. Now you should be ready to install the custom ROM (Nougat)
Follow these guides:
https://www.droidword.com/2017/11/2...10-1-gt-p7510-to-android-7-1-nougat-aosp-rom/
and here is the source code and infos;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1/development/rom-android-7-0-nougat-t3471350
6. After following the above, I installed Gapps Pico (very small google basic apps needed for tablet boot e.g. playstore etc)
7. Reboot device and enjoy the setup. Congrats - if all went well you should now be on 7.1 Nougat and can download all your favourite apps.
You can also download and install other software e.g. Chrome browser optimised for your old tablet
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...t/app-chromium-m56-optimized-tegra-2-t3550210
Best of luck! Note - I am not developer of any of the above. Kudos to all the devs.

I followed your directions and now play store does not work. Can you help me??

I had to experiment with this because some of the files gave me problems. Aside from the aosp-7.1-p4-20171005.zip which does work some the files don't. I ended up using TWRP version 2.8.7.0. (there is no official TWRP for the GT-P7510. Closest one is called "Picaso" you can search specifically for that one). Whichever GAPPS you decide to use must be an "open" Gapps such as, open_gapps-arm-7.1-full-20181106.zip.
After flashing there were difficulties. Google Play apps won't download or install. Google Chrome or any other Google related apps do not function. There are no developer settings. I even tried to download some Developer Setting apks of which none work. The ROM in itself looks and works good except for those bugs. Camera and flash actually work properly.

X L ENT.

Android 8 or 9?
Great post. I'm also a noob but am going to give it a try since you've laid everything out so nicely. One question I have before getting started is do you think this will also work with the latest versions of Android (8 or 9) rather than Android 7? Thanks much for any advice before I take the plunge!

My curent opinion is that the Android 7 version works better overall.

thread: Complete Guide to Root and Update Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
ok so most of the roms i have tested are overcome v2.3, nougat AOSP 7.1.2 , cwm clean rom v2 and others on the GT-P7510MA and i must say they are awesome builds to try and ressurect the tablet giving life to it but these Roms seem to dont give it the core functionality of playing games or even being able to handle the YouTube app version came in the pico packages or downloaded from the play store, can you developers from GitHub please work on this tablet.It gives constant crashes on playing games downloaded from the app store or opening certain apps other from that you guys would make my day and i would generously donate cause you guys deserve every penny!!! please fix this and we are ok worked for me but everything except games and the YouTube app. People remember most of these developers don't have the tablets, time or cash so we have to test on our tablets, donate so there cup of coffee doesn't runs out and report to them effectively right before there coffee runs out!

I'm still using mine. There were some similar issues I had and if I remember correctly Google play was the main issue with other Google apps. I think and this is going on memory. You would install the ROM then the GAPPS, but not flash both at the same time. Or Google apps would lock up for some reason and give you some issue. So for it to work correctly you flash the ROM. Turned it on and let it load up. Then you would turn it off so you could start up the TWRP recovery, then you would flash the GAPPS.
But Channel 48 put out a video on this if you get confused. This is the easiest way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN1Xwskjjfw&t=914s
And the update to 8.1 is also an option.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_bsR1Az3Sw&t=312s

Thanks @Casper Young I will take a look at the 8.1
It seems Channel48 has a lot of helpful videos. You can search for your exact model on his search page: for example, I am checking on P5110 here:

Hi, there, everyone
