I have sh***y tablet with some useless modified version of android ( or at least seems so). I'd like to know if there is custom android ROM for those cheap chinese tablets that are on the market right now. And also how to flash it eventually
Ive got the same man. I cant even find out how to put it into recovery mod. Its not worth the time or effort.
I have one of those tablets too... They are a ****, I should have saved those $100... in order to buy a real tablet!
Help is here!
Hey guys, I completely agree that these tablets are useless right out of the box. After doing a lot of searching I found some custom ROM's that make these tablets 1000% better. Just got to techknow.freeforums.org/wm8650-1-3-0-hybrid-honeycombmod . There is a forum where you can identify your tablet and then download one of these amazing ROM's. You can thank me later.
If any of you would bother searching, you'll notice that there are a few dozen different threads regard chinese tablets and custom roms. You need to identify which tablet you have, what chipset it's running and then read through the threads.

SAME HERE - TREK HD 9020a = total PoFS!! Lasted less than 2 months b4 it bricked
Yep I was dumb enough to believe the douchebag at AT&T when he told me I could get a new nice which was supposed to be a Samsung tablet but they were out & conveniently said they wouldn’t get anymore of the Samsung’s in so I would have to take the trek junk or nothin. It lasted 2months tops b4 it bricked all on its own somehow - guy I got it from said there wasn’t anything they could do so basically I got f’d paying several hundred dollars 4 a 5 dollar made in China sweat shop piece of fn **** bcuz I had to pay 10 per month no matter what til the time was up or I had paid off what was supposed to be FREE.!! YEAH RIGHT! If any1 was curious what phone I got with the tablet I got this Samsung note 5 - total price of SH!T too & the 1 & only time I have ever left my jailbroke iPhone b4 or since. Lol. But i found the old trek hd 9020a & figured I’d c if by now maybe some1 had a good recovery rom & a way to load it onto a bricked device. Can any1 help please? Thanks in advance - sorry it was a bit long. Only thing it will do is bring up the AT&T android logo screen at the start & the stays on anywhere from a few seconds to maybe a minute then it goes right back to unresponsive blank screen til ya do another hard reset.
So I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4g with Tmobile, and generally I'm happy with how it runs. Except that I cannot seem to root the thing (I have rooted probably 12-15 phones) and that means since I can't use awesome apps like Titanium Backup, every single day I have to hear about a new double twist update about 900 times.
I hate double twist, and i am sick of looking at it. So now, I am thinking of just putting a custom rom on. I have three questions among my research that I have not found a solid answer too:
1) I use Linux (Ubuntu) and the information I found on putting a custom rom to my phone with linux is sketchy at best, and I have zero idea if I even can.
2) Are there any users of this phone here that would suggest a particular rom? I ask because until my wife gets home from vacation in 3 weeks this phone is all I have and bricking it terrifies me.
3) Is there anyway, without root access, to back up Better Keyboard 8 and it's key? They got pulled from android market and I love this keyboard, if i loose it then i may rather put up with annoying double twist.
I've just come from a Nexus 4 (sold it as hit hard times) to a Prestigio 4044 running Jellybean stock.
I have not had the item delivered yet, but just wondering (before I might have to send it back), if anyone is using one, and what the general impression is.
Has it got Gorilla glass, what does it run JB with 512mb ram like, overall impressions.
The search function for this phone doesn't bring much up...and i've been on this forum for years and do know how to use the search first.
Best regards.

I've bought that phone few weeks ago. However I still cant find any flashtools or firmware to backup current android system. I search everywhere for something like SEUS for sony phones but I havent found anything. The only think that I found was software updates but without any option or tools to create a backup.

It seems to me you can create backups with ROM Manager...
I try to get root access ("install superuser") using Ubuntu on laptop. Did you try already that? I can't root it.
Okay, I know I don't post much in XDA, but I do read a LOT of threads!
The reason I am posting this is because I am wondering if anybody achieved root on this phone.
I have tried KingRoot, KingoRoot, OneClickRoot, none of those work.
It is running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
I am about to screw around with ADB, see what I can do. I'll post back when I have got something.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I don't post much on XDA.
any luck?
I've tried every root method available without the PC and nothing. But, there maybe good news. In developers options there's a switch to unlock the bootloader. Now I'm no dev but I hope this makes cwm or tarp easy for devs to port and root.
I found https://mobile.twitter.com/srsroot/status/810325782417592325?lang=en srsroot claims it supports ZTE Z833. I've used srsroot once before but on another phone I have no PC so I can't test it but someone should test Cydia impactor see if it works.

1. I too saw that twitter SRSRoot business and tried it thinking, "Oh joy!" no, not working. Tried it every way you could (yes Kingo, KingRoot, vRoot, iRoot, FramaRoot, uRoot, & we-all_Root (the last two were jokes don't be so serious, nor was it a complete list of what I did actually try, ha!) too). I even wrote the people at SRSRoot telling them that it didn't work and have gone back to download their latest versions, still nada, zip, zero. FML on toast!
2. Cydia Impactor is not for Android devices, it is only for iOS. I went and double-checked just to make sure I wasn't trippin' thinking that maybe they have gone cross-platform. No, they have not.
3. I have the phone in question, I submitted a formal request on here in the best way I could find to get it added to the XDA devices list and I have been eagerly monitoring awaiting the day it happens. I was even considering trying to compile TWRP myself, but I just bought a different phone because I was tired of the headache. I couldn't figure out how to extract the zImage from it in order to give it a go (I think that's what it was). Anyways, I'm writing this before finishing reading the rest of the posts and may be rambling, but I had to respond. I have spent much time doing this. I ended up buying a different MetroPCS phone called the Samsung Galaxy On5 and was able to successfully root it and after much waiting finally got ahold of the Superstarz ROM that finally went out for that one. Just an FYI in case someone happens to see this before making the purchase. I will say that I feel like the ZTE Avid Trio Z833 has pretty good response time for such a cheap phone, then again they had a deal on it in the store, it looked to be more expensive at retail pricing. Anyhow, I digress, but felt the need to contribute rather than just lurk.
Oh, and another thing... The development option to OEM Unlock is "checkable", but as for actually booting to the bootloader it WILL NOT DO IT. The only way this is gonna happen to be rootable is if you use a custom recovery (which none exist yet) in a tar format and ODIN the friggin thing from download mode. So, there's your catch 22. If anyone knows how to extract the zImage and whatnot (without root obviously) I'd be more apt to give it a go and boot my happy bunghole into Linux and give compiling TWRP another go. I finally have had a lot of life stresses temporarily die down since I decided not to leave my current living situation and just stay with these irritating bastards another month at a higher rate. FML & Cheers!: good:
I should mention, however, that SRSRoot attempted to use it's "Exploit 8." So, I went digging into it's directories to see what the script was, but it was binary (and I didn't have reverse-engineering **** handy like PE-ID, and whatever else the kids are using in this newer age). So, I was like "wah-wah", but if any experienced ppl know more about the specific exploits that aren't ancient and actually working with Marshmallow that would be interesting to hear feedback about as well. Thanks. I really would like to use this second phone still, but right now I'm just using it as a Kodi/Megabox HD + AllCast Projector to watch streaming things without having to interrupt my working phone in the middle of it. It would also be cool to use as a straight VOIP phone with no cell service connected, but I've yet to find the free Google Voice VOIP loophole that is currently working. PM me if you know of these
P.P.S. I wrote another spicy post on hardr3set dot info about what crap I felt about their B.S. (weaksauce compared to anything legit which we all know you come to XDA for the meat-and-potatoes) because I was so tired of searching the Goog for root ZTE Avid Trio Z833 and having it be the top result over and over. Finally this has risen up. Thank you for starting this. Oh, and also, please... If you would kindly also request for this device to be added formally, maybe it would encourage development. Not sure how all that works, but yeah... power in numbers right?
Sincerely,
~Ye of little faith
Bump
are you telling me that faults advertising runs ramped all over the internet even Google play store and this is the nondoing phone ever made and it can't be jailbroke nor rooted
Rooting your zte device
Can not be done. This phone is an unfortunate accident by ZTE with numerous problems and they are not small issues but ones that affect the performance of the device. Replace that phone or your only adding to your daily stress.
That kingroot and oneclickroot don't work
For this phone
a
Guessing this is a dead issue? It's an okay phone but lags horribly when it comes to multi tasking
Hey I don't want the root thing to die on this topic. So would it be possible to root via ADB update in recovery mode? Or to somehow update via SD card and applying root? I refuse to give up hope on this device lol
Anyone made progress on this? I just got this phone and it definitely has some issues, but I feel like root would resolve most of them.
Has anyone figured out a way to root this device?
I've searched for a long time without success. I hope something comes up.
Any progress on this? Thanks
following, bought one this morning hoping to have a cheap rootable phone.
I got mine from MetroPCS for $29. lol Yes, it's frustrating and has got problems (I've already put two of them through my dashboard and had to replace them, within the first 2 months, but it only cost 30buck so WTH. Anyways, I decided after I destroyed #2 that I was only going to use it for work and add no apps to it, except maybe GasBuddy and Winamp. Other than that, it's stock and I haven't had any real problems with it to speak of (problems aggravating enough to make me want to destroy it yet again).
So my suggestion to anyone who owns this phone, or is thinking about owning one: Don't install any more than a couple small apps, add a 32GB uSD card for music and other stuff, and use the thing as a phone and a media player only. The camera is pretty much worthless for quality photos, so there's really no other use for it. But it makes a great txting, voice calling, and music playing phone!
Of course, if you end up paying more than $30 for it, you probably paid too much. But it sure is a pretty nice phone for 30 buck!
Yes. root it please
I have a Z833. The phone only lags apps that are over 100mb I'll have test this out agin
I have ordered one of these phones for $20 should be here by Monday. When it arrives I'll be able to confirm if its bootloader is unlocked or not. In the meantime here is the firehose and support files (rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml) as well as the MetroPCS B16 firmware to be flashed with QFIL or MiFlash. This will allow people to recover their device and hopefully if the bootloader isn't locked flash custom images.

Hey everyone, I'm new to all of this. Like super new, Like I made an account today new.
I have had a IWO Watch MTK250c for some time, i just recently got in to trying to mod some extra faces etc. my first attempt went very well using the Mediatek SmartDevice app and my Macbook with my Android phone, however the second face i added did something messed up as soon as i selected it on my watch to use my watch's screen went black and the backlight on the screen started coming on and off every 2 seconds or so. I am trying to stay positive here but i probably bricked it because that'd be my luck. In reading this forum I found I most likely need to reflash/install the original operating firmware and re-start from scratch. However as I said, I'm really new at this stuff and I only have a Macbook computer, is there any hope of fixing this watch or any advise for a totally new person at fixing this at all?
Thanks all for listening this forum is very helpful and any replies would be great.

Hi, no answer until now? Which IWO model do you own? I bought the latest firmwares for IWO5 and IWO4 from shiningintl.com.
There is a collection of firmware for different MTK2050C models, which you can find here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_hRh3DjuBoeRTRHT3N2NzJvUnM
Good luck in reflashing
