Hi all
Just got myself an Asus TF103C and have been looking at other posts here like http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/asus-transformer-pad-tf103c-tablet-root-t2802995/page5
which helped me to root it.
However I have been reading elsewhere that perhaps a custom Lollipop ROM would help things work a bit smoother.
I have found a couple of pages which claim to outline a method taken from the pages of XDA (although I am so far unable to find it on here) and linking to file downloads that seem a bit suspect:
http://www.rom-lollipop.org/mp3-0/asus-transformer-pad-tf103c-6409.html
and here:
http://lollipop500.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/upgradeupdate-transformer-pad-tf103c-to.html
Can anyone please advise me if these are likely to be legitimate or otherwise?
Many Thanks!
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and Lollipop. You can ask about it here,
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
I won't comment on files you found on other sites, other than saying flashing anything is always a risk that will be on your shoulders , on XDA or other sites.... And no one will take responsibility for your device. Flash at your own risk. If it makes you uncomfortable, then don't do it. That's all I can say. ?
Good luck!

Hi,
The xda thread you posted is not for your device, therefore likely won't apply. Here is a discussion on rooting your device. You can ask about it here, after reading it all I'd say...
> General discussion > Questions and Answers > [Q] Root for VM LG Volt
Good luck!

Hi,
My Daughter has lost her passcode for her tablet, there is not a specific thread for this tablet, could you tell me which thread would be best to ask for help in?
I am guessing it is simply a factory reset required.
There is an external reset button, but it doesn't seem to do what it says on the tin.
There is also an external off/on, and a home button.

Hi Darth,
Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Sods law came into force and I found the answer to question else where.
I have posted the answer to my problem here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...cheerful-android-tablet-t2965719#post57333348
In case it is of help to anyone else.
I don't know if there is somewhere to put it on the site as a sticky, so that it can be found more easily in future?
regards
Phil

Awesome! ?
About the sticky, very few threads are stickied... And certainly won't happen for a less popular device. But a search on it should find your thread just fine!
Thanks for contributing! That's what XDA is all about. ?
Thread closed.
Well I think that pretty much explains it... Except for why the hell half the system apps were deleted when I factory reset, even the home launcher. So I really need the firmware or another solution that'll get a decent working ROM on this tablet. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi,
I suggest asking about your issue in this thread dedicated to your device,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-pad-10/general/dev-thread-lg-g-pad-7-0-8-0-10-1-t2838995
Good luck!
I suggested that maybe you look at that thread a little closer, or at all maybe... There's nothing about the stock firmware and the thread is "dedicated" to 3 devices of varying specs. There's nothing about a stock KDZ for v410 in that thread or anywhere else that I've looked.
If you read my reply, I suggested you ask about it in that thread, because I found nothing else relevant on XDA for your device.
If you'd rather not then, you will need to ask in this section...
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
This is my first post and I'm a total noob so please bear with me :laugh:
I need advice on how to root my HTC Desire 826 safely. My friend purchased it for me from China and it came with a whole bunch of stock Bidu apps and bloatware (in Chinese). I just want to root the phone safely and install a ROM that somewhat resembles Android Lollipop.
I came across this website: (system says i can't post any websites, please google "how to root htc desire 826 tutorial"). It looked legit, and I thought this was too good to be true! And then I read some of the comments from the users and it seemed really fishy... None of them had proper English grammar, which is not a big deal, but they had names like Gary Matthews, Pete Boyle, and James McAllister...
Then, I've also read somewhere that some people might want you to install their custom ROM because they've encoded some spyware which could steal your information, and then I got really paranoid.
What should I do? I don't want to brick my phone, and I certainly don't want my security compromised. Your help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Thanks for investigating Bryanrd05! It looks like it might be a long wait

I made some investigation and it seems like there is not a confirmed working root process (or at least not by some XDA member) for your phone yet. It's have been launched recently and only in Asia markets so it might take a while. Just be pacient. About the site you tell, you can actually try, it uses Framaroot (a recognized root procedure for other devices) but i do not recommend it at all, at least until someone else with more knowledge to fix their phone in case of some damage tries it.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Custom ROM's are specially tailored to the device, so you will need to find a developer who has the same one. However, I couldn't find anything of that make and model.
At any rate, create an account, so you can post in the rest of the site. Particularly, you will want to the [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly thread of the > General discussion > Questions and Answers forum. Be sure the share the same specs of the device as you did here, so they know what they are working with.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hello.
I would try the above links first. You may find others with the same tablet. Otherwise (and this has been done for other devices, even popular ones), you may need to give a device (same make and model) to an interested developer (as they don't like to build blindly).
Not a whole lot of options, but that is something you can tease out (if there are more) on the General Q&A forum.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Glad you are interested in helping out!
The > Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games forum contains many apps, and a few questions regarding apps. But really, (it seems) most app questions will go through to the > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum (the one I linked before - sort of a catch-all question forum for rare devices and not particular to a device at all).
With regards to the tablet, one with similar specs (read....chipset) can help a developer out as a starting point, but the ROM will still need to be customized for that device to avoid bootloop.
Time to release you out into the world! The Purpose of XDA Assist is to point those who need assistance in the right direction, not to be a helpdesk (which I am fine with providing a little extra information, like the above paragraph ). With the forums mentioned in this thread in hand, you should be off to a great start with XDA. Take care.
