Hi all,
Okay as you have noticed I'm rather new here and still reading some of the posts on rooting and installing ROMs but basically what I'm trying to achieve here is to remove a Carrier logo from the phone (Galaxy W I8150T) (Vodafone) Phone is unlocked and I wanted to give it to me dear ole Ma and she is on a different carrier.
To be honest not really into rooting it I was just looking for an easy way to re install a stock gingerbread rom minus the stupid logo's.
As I'm in Australia would the ROM's here be ok ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654643
My phone says Ver 2.3.6 I8150TDULM1 .... if any devs want this rom let me know ...not sure how to copy it but am happy to give it a go and transfer it if required.
Basically just wanted everything to work for her like radio etc if she wanted to use it .... so maybe when I get a few more clues I can try things like rooting phones ( that just sounds wrong) anyway help a noob out please.
hey i have the T version as well id recommend getting "cyanogen mod 9" if you want to get rid of the Vodafone branding as i did. it will also be running ice cream sandwich. it is completely stable and has no carrier branding although is is a bit more complected. you could also get jelly bean but is unstable and so i wouldent recomend it for your mum to get cyanogen mod 9 go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576874
I have been waiting for the 4.2.2 update for a long time now (i live in finland) and as always, everything comes months later here. Today i got a new update for my phone and i was like yeaaaaaaaaah its 4.2.2, downloaded and installed, and what a disappointment. Its still the old 4.1.2 with same bugs, same old interface, same old lockscreen and all. What is this? Why didnt this update really change anything? Not even the version number.....im getting mad to samsung! I know i can get the new version by rooting and flashing a custom rom but i dont want to risk it..
Anybody else with this problem???

I recently came into the possession of a HTC Desire 620G Dual Sim (it was my father's) Android 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.67, Chipset Mediatek MT6592 (Online is liste as android 4.4.4 but that is a lie). After days of searching the web and reading countless forums I came to the conclusion that this is a very unpopular and abandoned smartphone. I really want to change the android version on this phone, I know how to root, I learned from this forums. The only problem I have is that I can't find any android versions ported for this phone, I need anything newer than 4.4.2, I would like 4.4.4 or lollipop as i heard it runs better. I checked all custom androids none has support for this device, I cant even find this phone on the clockworkmod and TWRP list of devices. What do I do now? If I can't even install a custom recovery on this phone? So to sum this up, I need a custom recovery mode for this phone and a ported android version newer than 4.4.2. I would appreciate any help.

Hi, even if my answer has nothing to do with what you asked, you seem to have the abilities to make a backup copy of your stock rom, that's waiting that you still have your stock rom in that phone and it's european model.
Could you please be so kind to make a backup copy of your rom?
And by the way, there's at least one russian guy that has cooked one rom for this phone, even if it seems to have some issues yet.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm very sorry I flashed MIUI v5.8.27 Beta, a rom found on these forums ported by a guy, maybe the same guy you speak of. I regret it now, I need the stock rom back, I liked it better. I did found something over the web a stock rom but I'm to wuss to try it because there is a chance I'll brick my phone and this is the only phone I got. Do you want to try that stock rom? I'll find it again for you.

That's very kind of you. I have in fact found also a stock Rom, but is not the same the version as my phone's, plus is a Rom for phones sold in India and I bought mine at in Europe, so I prefer not to "risk" this time.
There are some sites that really have all the roms, but they want money to let you download anything, is quite "strange" and I will not say anything else about that.
Sadly, HTC doesn't provide free download for any of their devices, like they used to do and I am not sure about what could happen if I download and install one of those branded roms that can ba apparently downloaded.
Finally, what I want is simply recover the "normal" functionality of this phone, because after rooting, I lost the camera function, the whole system became absolutely unstable and getting worst, so now it resets itself without warning just like that and it's not providing any acoustical messages anymore, so I know I will never root again a phone with any of those "tools", I will do it old style, connecting with a command line terminal.
So maybe that Rom you're using may fit the bill for me, but I couldn't find a way to install cwm or twrp on this phone to install any cooked Rom and I've been really out of this chores for quite some time to know enough to find the right way to do this on my own.
So thanks for any help you can provide and I think it would be really nice to provide this Rom here because it's more than one person who needs it and apparently no one really cares about this phone, there are several people with these problems.
Hello fellow XDA Users,
I found this firmware while doing some deep researching on the web, took me about 13 hours to download. I haven't tested it, nor modified it. I believe it may be the real thing since it was downloaded from a Chinese server.
Compatible with RCA Viking Pro 10.1 "xx.10.xx firmware not the xx.9.xx" Make sure your current firmware version has a "10" or greater in the middle and not a "9"
I am not responsible if you brick your device.

Nice! Anyone try this yet ?
Has anyone tried this yet? It's such a minor upgrade it's debatable if it's worth the risk since 5.1 was more of a bug-fix release than anything else, but if someone can test it out and it looks good I may be willing to wipe my device for it.
i would do this but im to chicken. anyone feel like trying it for me?
im going to try this on my old tablet but i got a new one with android 6.0
model # RCT2303W87M and RCT2303W87M7 for these newer ones
this one is also called "Viking pro 10"
Can someone update the link i bricked my tablet and its my last hope since all of the links are dead or doesnt flash for me + its the exact version ive bricked and i got no backup i will test it in case no one did during the time
