[Completed] how to change android on tablet - XDA Assist

Hi all!!
I have a tablet (MIIA MT-733G) and it worked perfectly. Last month it took 2 virus (TIME SERVICE and MONKEY TEST) and now I just cant use ut anymore. It connects itselfs to data or wifi and starts downloding 3475364576340583760 of useless apps!!!!!
I rooted it, I tried to reset to factory, I tried to use apps to remove those 2 virus from the sys directory..but they are still there!
This is why I'm here! I'd like to do one last try. I'd like to remove the android sistem and install it again. I hope this way those stupid viruses will be deleted!!
And here it is my second problem! I don't know if there is a rom for my tablet, because it isn't produced by a famous mark like Samsung or LG or Sony. It has been produced by MIIA!
MODEL : MT-733G
ROM Version: ALPS.JB5.TABLET.GBXYHQV2
Could someone please help me? I 'm going mad..I really need my tablet, but I just can't use it this way !

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Unfortunately, I cannot see any resources on the site about your tablet. I would suggest contacting MIIA, for the stock firmware (can explain the virii problem), or even warranty work (if available, and especially if you didn't modify the device - i.e. root).
The virii could have rooted the device themselves by the way - all it would have needed is a hook like StageFright (and 4.2 Jellybean is very vulnerable to those things). Which means, option one (getting the stock firmware from MIIA) is a better option over warranty because it is likely this problem will happen again. And again.
Last ditch effort to find stock firmware here would be to make a thread in this forum (once registered for an account):

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

[Q] Galaxy Tab P1010 "Out of space"

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I recently bought my first Android device (yes, yes, I'm a 100% noob). BTW, I also did the search (google and xda) for this problem, without results.
This is the story:
- I few weeks ago I bought my new Samsung Galaxy Tab wifi (p1010), with Android 2.2 Froyo, and it is not rooted or flashed with some rom.
- Search on the market for an official version of Skype, but no, at this time there was no one.
- Then, I find one on getjar, works ok, but only audio.
- A few days ago I uninstalled the getjar version an install another one, version 2.0.0.45-signed, from villanrom, announced with video support, but at the moment of accepted a video-call the application always fails and closed.
- After that, I uninstalled it, and wait for a new and better one.
- Here is the problem: I have tried with another versions (villanrom 2.0.0.47sig, xda-Froyo-droidrx, the first one from getjar, and others, even the "official one" 2.0.0.47 from the market) but always I got the same error "Out of space: Skype could not be installed. Free up space and try again"
- I can instal other apps (apk and market) without any problem.
- My Summary is: Program 438MB/1.87GB, Personal data 10.00MB/69.77MB, Internal memory 4.38GB/12.74GB", with NO External SD card.
Please, I need some help to resolve this problem, before doing anything drastic, like an hard-reset
Best regards and thanks

Please. I need some expert help with this problem.

You can try to run Titanium Backup, to see whether there still is some kind of skype installation on your tablet. If Titanium Backup can find something, then try to uninstall/wipe data/force remove app (all in Titanium Backup).
Another thing u could try is to use Root Explorer, and browse to data/app/ and see if there is still some skype in there (com.skype.raider-1.apk?). If there is, delete it. Also go to data/data/ and see if there is still something from skype there (perhaps com.skype.raider?). If there is, delete it.
Finally you could try to clear your dalvik cache. Usually that's done in clockworkmod, but as I'm not sure if you have that on your tablet, check here.
If none of that helps, I would backup some important stuff and then do a factory reset. Or better yet, put a nice new rom on there (either official or unofficial, no idea what's out there for the galaxy tab). At least go to gingerbread (android 2.3.x), or honeycomb (android 3.x) if that's available for your tab.
good luck!
PS; as for skype, i would recommend to use droidrx's mod. He's making great progress and most likely very soon there will be some kind of "final" and bug-free version.
Many many thanks.
My tab it´s not rooted yet (I think if I do that then lose guaranty)... I will try to do a factory reset or firmware update first... Only if that fail, then I will apply the root solution... BTW, wich one it is the better method/app for root a g-tab (with the un-root option included)??
Best regards
Jerome
Just did a 5 minute research, and apparently for some people there is already an official gingerbread update available. I would rather do that then a factory reset at this point. Gingerbread is a much better version of android than you have at the moment.
Rooting your galaxy tab is dead easy apparently, read here.
If you're thinking about installing a custom rom, see the Galaxy tab android development section.
Yep, but the update it's not available for everyone... I got installed the lastest version of Kies (2.0.1.11053_99), and it's shows "Current fw version = Latest = PDA:KB4 / CSC:KB4 (CHO)".. May be because my country (Chile).
SuperOnceClick looks fine, but with this issue
Note:
I have tried unrooting the device and rooting it again and this is not working. so this is to let you know that you will have to reflash the firmware to root the device if you unroot it again using this software and try to root until some one finds a solution

Thanks again, I hope that's Gingerbread will be available soon for me.

Yea, that means that you can still get your tablet back to the factory state (including root), in case you wanna bring it back for warranty. Which is probably never going to happen anyway.
So my advice would be just to flash a gingerbread 2.3.4 rom, as i've noticed you don't even need to have root to do this. Who knows how long chile will wait with distributing a new android version?
no te preocupes!
EDIT: just be careful with one thing, i've noticed not all customs roms will work on your tablet since you have a wifi only tablet. keep that in mind when looking for a rom and make sure that the rom will be compatible.
Apparently I'm not the only one with this specific problem... It's look like some bad install/uninstall process with the "VillainRom" version on the GTab.
Google search:
villainrom Skype with Video Support for Various Devices... #55
(Sorry, but the system says that I'm too noob to publish external links.. )
Sadly, they have not released a solution yet

OK, I´m not the first one with this specific problem, but some says even with root they can´t delete skype directory from system.
Jerome
Solution:
Run terminal and type:
"rm_-R_/data/data/ com.skype.raider" _ = space
i failed the oparation a few times until i got it..
After that i'v downloaded Skype again, but this time it installed successfully,
Im very disappointed with Skype team failing to fix the problem and having there paying customers to Root there devices !
Jerome,
I guess you are in the same boat i am.
I went to Chile in June and bought a P1010 at Falabella store. My FW is the same as yours and there's no ROM to upgrade (official or custom).
There's no development for it here. Also the video skype is for the GB not froyo.
The only tweaks i could do was the root (z4root) and the OCLF.
Sorry for this bad news... But at least i loved to visit your country. The Piscosawer, the "CONGRO" fish and the "Cafe con Piernas" 8))

[Q] Help please!

With the release of Android 4.4 coming, I'm thinking of flashing the latest Cyanogen rom. But, this is my first time owning an Android phone, or any smart phone at all. So I was wondering:
Can I upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710BST to the latest version?
If so will I have to reinstall my apps and etc.?
If I use custom firmware can I still activate and use my phone to call? (This is all assuming I still haven't gotten around to activating my phone)
If so will i have to use Boost Mobile to activate my phone? (As indicated by the model number)
Thanks in advance for any advice!

hey there, welcome to the world of android friend! so if you were to have cm 10.2 (android 4.3) on your device and decide when a stable version of 4.4 comes out you want to flash it, you will have to reinstall all your apps, if you were to come from android 4.1 to 4.2 you wouldnt have to reinstall them. android 4.1-4.3 dont have very much changes, just a little of ui change and hardware changes to use left memory. now to see if your galaxy s2 will get 4.4? nobody will know, i dont think anybody knows if cyangenmod will make more roms, they recently annouced something that sounded like they were making their own android handset. if you use custom firmware, yes you can still use it as your phone and activate it, im sure not allot of people would flash roms to not be able to use their phones . i looked up the model number and it looks like the carrier is boost mobile. hope you figure out what you want man, please if you have any questions i would love to answer them, i love to see the notification numbers go up xD
Thanks! I already knew my phone was from Boost, I was just asking if activating it with them was a MUST. Also my phone has that manufacturer's error with the dropping cell signal repeatedly activating the menu. I tried the fix where you clear the cache partition, but that was only a temporary fix.
So, to fix the phone I have to get it repaired at a Sprint?
If so, how much?
Or, alternatively, could re-imaging the phone with a new "OS" fix it? (Only asking since the cache wipe worked for a while.)

Time is not changing of Motorolla Maxx HD

First of all i am thinking that my device has been changed, as its LCD got broken so i gave it to repair shop to repair it, and after recieving it i hard reset it, when i tried to add google account it wont add.
Then i taught its because of the time, the time is set to 1970.
Seriously :cyclops:
Well then i check my software version as i have previously updated it to kitkat 4.4.4 it is showing 4.4.2
This is the baseband version
vanquish_bp_100731.020.64.21P
I have reset it again, but time wont change, will rooting make it happen, or any suggetion what i should do with it.
I cant use google apps
you got hit with the 1970 bug man,in my case only disconnecting the battery worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580974
See if it works for you.
EDIT: Seems PhilZ and TWRP have a built-in fix, please read the thread above.
I dont have any idea how to remove its battery,
Thanks for the link i will sirely check it, but for a note i am a complete newbie and the phone is on stock rom, i dont know how to mod/custom rom it
No help :crying::crying::crying:

[Completed] [Q] Need to re-install Android 4.4.2 on Prestigio PSP 5508 DUO

Greetings form South Africa!
This is my first post on this forum, so apologies if this is in the wrong section!
Needless to say I am a complete novice with android so I do not know where to start with troubleshooting.
I am in bit of a bind here. As the title suggests, I think I need to do a completely fresh install of Android 4.4.2 on my Prestigio SPS 5508 DUO.
Some Background:
I have rooted my phone with KingoRoot and for the last round used the Titantanium Backup app to uninstall the default Message app and The preinstalled office suite 7.
After that my Google news stand app stopped working with a message saying it stopped working.
I decided to do a factory reset, because I thought it might resolve the issue... That was a mistake it seems.
When My phone rebooted after the factory reset, everything was messed up. the setup wizzard keeps crashing. and I get error messages from almost all the google apps.
The Problem:
I have not backed up anything, so there is nothing to fall back on.
My question now is, is there a way to do a fresh install of the Android OS along with the needed drivers? - same as you would do when formatting your pc: fresh install of windows, install the drivers, then move on to the programs you use.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
EDIT: On the Prestigio site I have found a firmware update download, maybe something inside here can help? I wanted to post a link but apparently I don't have enough street cred!
Go to prestigio dot com and then go to the PSP5508 page and you will find it under support and firmware

[Completed] [Q] need help note 3 (SM-N9005)

hi there,
i have a SM-9005( Australian Telstra) which i bought used a couple of weeks/ about a month ago. NOT KNOWING WHAT I WAS DOING i tried to install android 5.0 via odin but, the thing that i did'nt realise was that it was the hong kong firmware after installing it i encountered a problem something like " binary (number) < (number) i figured that it was because when i decided to install it the storage was about 95% full and it only had like 300mb left so i just went into recovery and restored the phone. after successfully installing 5.0 i noticed that the phone was starting to be glitchy as in system would'nt respond (lag) no sound and camera and mic and calling wouldn't work. so i decided it was best to just roll back to the old os 4.4.2 and thats what i did. after doing so i realised that the same problems were still there "no in/outgoing call, no sound, no Google Now, no S-Voice, no camera, slow lock screen and slow settings" after trying to research and not finding anything that would help me ( mainly as my phone is Australian variant) i decided to install a custom rom Cyanogenmod, although this fixed the camera the other problem were still there and after trying to even restore from a nandroid backup via twrp recovery the problem has still not been resolved and well....:crying:
