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

i want new phone unlocked because my g1 is slow but i was curious if there was a way to know if the chinese android phone is flashable and using which rom? and which is a good phone to buy ...

It hasn't even been 3 hours, there's no need for a bump. Also I don't think those cheap knockoffs can be flashed but it's possible. First you have to root it though which is probably possible with one of the "one-click root" apps. Actually flashing one is a bit more involved because of hardware differences. Next time just get the real phone instead of a knockoff, save yourself some headache and heartache at not being able to do everything you want.
i actually have a g1 thank you very much handsome
Well then take out the "next time"s from my previous post and I stick by it. Knockoffs generally aren't that great. Getting the real version from a store is better, even craigslist or ebay.
I rooted my galaxy note replica with bin4ry it worked perfectly as for flashing i have flashed a few things but to flash a rom it would be harder because i have found out i would have to port the custom rom to work with my device.

What did I miss? Why the assumption that the OP is talking about a "cheap knock-off". Maybe he means a Huawei, or ZTE or something.
Rooting android from China
Ok, i don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but i'm desperate. I want to flash my phone that i recently bought in China, but i'm getting no where. The problem is that i can't find recovery mod that will work on my phone. If someone have any idea what recovery mod should i try, please suggest it to me.
I'm using Samsung Galaxy Style Duos I-8262D.

It will depend on the device you have. You should search xda for your device name, but if it is a cloned device, you may not be able to find anything, because some clones are not well supported.
I just got the Motorola XOOM for Christmas 2012. I quickly found out it was out of warranty and not only that it has Asian firmware and the build # is 1.7.1-45. Being a gift I don't want to return it or let the person know that it is a non US XOOM.
I have spent the last 4 days researching how to upgrade to the US GED firmware with Jellybean 4.1. Never having rooted anything and now being throughly confused as to what steps to take I would like to ask for some straight forward direction in layman terms. I am pretty savvy at following directions but I have now confused myself with the research.
It came with 3.1 and upgraded to 4.0.4. My searches have led to MotoDev for the proper images to use but they don't seem to be there for this XOOM.
Lastly I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8 with an 2 GHz Intel Core Duo processor. I can't use Eclipse in the ADT bundle with this Mac.
Please instruct.
Thanks,
Joel

Motorola, for reasons best known to themselves, have removed the stock images from their website.
There are, however, available to use elsewhere.

For installation instructions see post 3 of this link, I know it works as I have used myself

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. Will doing this leave me with the US build HW169 if that is the image I download? I reviewed Sleeplessninja's video for rooting with a Mac and it seems pretty straight forward. I basically want to end up with a Google Enabled Device with the most current OS and automatic updates.
Thanks again for your help.
Yep, HW169 is the one you want.
It will probably install as Honeycomb 3.0, but will update OTA until you end up with the current release.
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.
So i just got given a really nice acer a510 with a tegra 3 in it.But when i recieved it it came with android 3.0.1
Ive tried everything to update to any newer os.The software update says poor network coverage even though it has full wifi bars.Ive tried downloading roms and loaders but as im very new to this i cant manage to do it.
The android version is 3.0.1
The build number is acer_a501_0.006.01_com_gen1
If anyone can help me that would be amazing i just cant stand the old ancient 3.0 version.
Please!
I would love to install some sort of custom rom such as cyanogenmod
Anyone?
Hello everyone,
I am wondering if there is any confirmed source, the way, to update my Lg g pro 2 to the 6.0 marshmallow ? I found many sites with "working, no bugs" versions but Im little bit worry about to use it in my phone. My device is not rooted, it is not branded, just clean lg soft version 32gb.
Can anybody show me proper checked source to update my phone ? Is it possible without flashing ? If I have to flash it then no problem I just need a tip, step by step what to do, where do I have to click, what kind of tools do I have to use etc.
I'm kinda new fish in this pool so, try to help me instead of laughing at me, Thank you.
Those are spam sites.if update comes xda will be the first to know and hoping custom 6.0 will be out
