Hi,
I searched Google, XDA, but nobody seems to get CMW recovery on our Galaxy S6? What is going on??
TWRP is the only option??

For now, yes. TWRP seems to work quite well, though. I think we should be thankful we had a custom recovery right when the phone came out.

Hello there!
I have a really serious problem with my TF300T. I had the newest bootloader installed with 4.4 enabled TWRP recovery. I had the 2014.01.07. CM 11 nightly installed and was running fine. I have seen, that there are some never releases so decided to update. I downloaded the newest nightly yesterday and pressed power button. Selected reboot and then selected Recovery.
And here comes the problem!
The tablet bricked himself! It did restart but got into a bootloop I cannot get through the Asus splashscreen. I tried POWER+VOLD DOWN, I cannot get into fastboot or recovery. The tablet keep rebooting, no boot to android either. I tried power off, no success. I tried the reset button. I removed battery, still the same.
As I have never done anything to the bootloader, I did not consider making NVFLASH backup, as it is a risky operation. Shame on me...
How could it happen????? Does cyanogenmod alter Bootloader partition to reboot into recovery??? What the hell??
Please help me somehow! I dont know what to do, I tried all I could! Maybe APX? or only Asus RMA??
yours,

No, sorry, you won't be able to use APX mode without have making the NvFlash backups beforehand.

In theory, yes. But many people consider it easier to RMA it.

Hi everyone, yesterday I tried to change my tablet's rom from android 4.1 to kitkat 4.4.4 using TWRP, after install TWRP and reboot it, the tablet stopped work. I can't turn it on and my pc doesn't recognise it. I removed the battery to turn it off and to be sure that wasn't the problem but with no solution. Anybody has a solution?. Thanks

Can you get into recovery or download mode?
BTW, I am notifying a moderator to move this into the Galaxy Tab Q&A section.

Did you flash a ROM for a different device? It sounds like it is definitely bricked. Probably, your only choices are jtag or a new tablet. JTag for the 10.1 inch tab is $50 from mobiletechvideos.com but they are currently working on a lot of devices and not accepting new orders for now.

Maybe is the wrong model. I installed it using CWM recovery. Anyway, tomorrow I'll give my tablet to a specialist.

Hello guys, I'm new to this forum but not to Android. I'm familiar with Samsung devices coming from a S3 mini. So I was wanting to root my Galaxy tab 2 7" (GT-P3110) but don't have access to a computer currently. So I got to digging and found a Chinese app called "Root Master" which worked for the device. I was on stock and it was successful. After doing so I flashed CM12.1 and gapps to then find I lost my custom recovery and root. I tried rooting it again with the application but with no success. Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated.

Oh boy... Does Cm 12 boot? If so, go into developer settings and set root access to 'Apps & ADB' and turn off 'Update CM Recovery when ROM updates'.

Yeah, everything runs completely fine. I just lost root and recovery. I'll give it a go. Thanks.

So is everything working for you now? You can get recovery again by flashing the latest TWRP from @Android-Andi's recovery thread through Odin or Heimdall.
Have a great day!
Yeah, everything is fine and TWRP was still installed so need to do anything else.

Hello xda,
I recently bought the newly released FNF Ifive Mini 4S from Banggood and i was wondering if anyone is planning to make a root and/or custom recovery for it?
Thanks

Me too, I own one of the beauties, and I would love to have it rooted!

What are your experiences so far?
I just bought one for about 85€.
Hope it gets a little more attention and someone can root it.
Where? Can't find it for that price.
Hello, Can owners of this tablet give me some info on it's thermal performance? Specifically, how warm the case gets on the hands, CPU temps under load and the SoCs throttling behavior.
Thanks.

Will do if i get my hands on mine! Will do some stress tests and see how warm it gets!
I ordered it too for 100$ on gearbest. Finally after week and a half it is shipped out now, but tracking still shows pre-advised, so I think I won't get it for at least 2-3 weeks
Ordered mine from gearbest a couple days ago so it will be a while before I get it. I have rooted and installed custom firmwares on other tablets before so I have a basic understanding of how things work but I have never done this totally from scratch. I have been doing a lot of research and study on this and have a few ideas. First thing I'm going to try is to boot a custom recovery for the rk2388 chip with the fastboot boot recovery.img command and then then do some backups of the nand. After that I will try to extract the kernel from stock and insert it into a generic android 6.01 rom and see if I can flash it from within the custom recovery. Hopefully it will work( I know I will have to work on drivers and such too) but first things first just want to see if it will work. My main thing I'm scared of is messing it up and bricking the tablet. I'm hoping that providing fastbooting the custom recovery works I can restore to stock ROM if I mess anything up. Wish me luck and let me know if you have any ideas that may help.
+1 interested in this tablet.

For root, try "Kingroot ".

Have you tested it?
In this specific device no, but it worked in all devices I own.
When you get it, give KingoRoot a try. Chances are it will work.. Hopefully..

If you brick it FNF has a recovery tool themselves. It is an update/recovery tool and can be found by googleing: fnf ifive mini 4s upgrade tool. Just pick the first one from techtablets.com.
There seems to be TWRP available for similar RK3288 Tablets here: http://crewrktablets.arctablet.com/?p=4776
It's a bit of an old post though, only TWRP 2.8.4.0, not sure if it will work 100% on this device. Would love to know if it works.

I found this post as well yesterday and decided to test it. TWRP does not seem to work, but CWM works just fine! I successfully installed chainfires supersu. Should I write a small tutorial or something?

Today is shaping up to be a great day. First I wake up and receive notice stating that my tablet has finally shipped. Then I come here and see more activity on this forum with progress. Congrats and good job on installing chanfires SuperSU DK. Does that mean you have full root now? And also did you install cwm or use the fastboot boot recovery recovery.img command just to boot the recovery?
Hello,
I have two j7 2016 fn. One is mine one for repair. I recognized that there is a bootlogo difference. The onw which works has a thin powered by android line while the one with touch problems has a bold android. So I guess there I have an outdated bootloader on that phone. How can I update?

Yes I already tried
But smartswitch said that the phone does not allow data transfer via usb.
I can't use touch. Every rom I flashed does not make the touchscreen work.
I saw on youtube that some said to get back to marshmallow. But I heard that could lead to loosing the imei.
What should I do?
