Hello,
On my TF303K already rooted under JB 4.4.2 , I noticed that the original recovery didn't get the SAVE/RESTORE option to use a Nandroid backup
Is there a way for getting TWRP to work on this tablet. ?
I haven't seen yet any thread about that .
I'm wondering if I could try to install the same TWRP as NEXUS 7 2013 ( ASUS product), which processor, screen definition and a lot of materials are the same .
Is there a risk of brick ?
One more question : this tablet is running JB 4.4.2 rooted . Do I have to unroot it ( via SuperSU option) before installing manually the update to MM provided by Asus on the Web ,
or can this be done directly ?
If anybody heard of a solution around all that , I would be happy to read it.
Thank you

Hi!
I rooted my Asus Iconia A1-810 with the RV21RC02_WW_GEN1 files according to the thread:[ToolKit] Acer Iconia v0.8.1 ***New: Supporting A3-A10 / New: Pull system.img.gz*** http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240029
This was done several month ago...
But some of my apps need me to update to newer firmware according to the app-developers.
Unfortunately I don't know the best way to upgrade a already rooted device ?? Whats the easiest way ?
Do I need to first unroot the device and do firmware upgrade.... or is it possible to upgrade directly ?
Is there some good howto out there ?
Many Thanks
Marcus
Someone here ought to have information that might help me...please!
Hos do I update the firmware on a rooted device ? In my case asus a1-810.. ?
Thanks
Marcus
*argh* .... This is killing me...
I've read everything in the Acer Iconia Toolkit thread...... but because I have less then 10 post I'm not authorized to ask any questions in that thread ?????
So I'll have to ask here until someone answers or I reach 10 posts...
Anyhow...
My system.img.gz that is currently loaded and rooted is RV21RC02_WW_GEN1.
But there is no one offering a Stock / unrooted image for that !?!?
I've tried to to stock firmware upgrade through menu with the tablet rooted - NOT WORKING
I've tried uninstalling the SuperSU with the unroot-option in SuperSU menu. -NOT WORKING
I've was about to try the unroot option in the toolkit from windows.... but it says i need a stock image in the system_image folder ? -Dont have stock image RV21RC02_WW_GEN1
I've read that it's not a good idea to try and upgrade with another image (not RV21RC02_WW_GEN1), Then i'll brick the tablet....
But what should I do ???

Same problem
I have exactly the same problem with my rooted Acer A1-810.
I used the toolkit to root my pad (RV21RC02_WW_GEN) a couple of months ago. And now I would like to find the original stock rom so I could unroot my device and update it. I have tested the same things that you tested but it didn't help.
Hello everyone, i am new to xda and need help with my rooted samsung galaxy s4 i9500 running android 4.4.2 with build number I9500XXUFNG1 and phone status says CUSTOM, i live in India
i rooted my s4 using chainfire auto root a few months back and also installed cwm, both using odin.. and since then i have flashed aicp 4.4.4 rom and then got back to the stock rom using the backup i created by cwm beofre flashing the rom
last night i got an ota update of 112mb saying it'll update knox from v1.0 to 2.0 and my phone auto downloaded it although i havent installed it yet
so my question is, should i update my phone, let the update install, would it do any harm knowing it is rooted ? would i brick my phone if i install the update ? would i lose root access if i update ? what is the way out ? should i un root my phone and then install the update and then re root again ? since my phone is rooted, it shouldnt receive ota update than why have i received one ? what are my options ? plz help me out..any kinda help will be appreciated...! thanks a mil..!
Well i have a samsung s4 but a clone one , from china . I have the custom rom for it but i dont know how to flash it , ive used Odin but apparently quite confusing , because i can't find the download mode for the phone , the debug mode apparently in chinese language , and no option for updating like that , the phone has been rooted using super su , i want to update it to android kitkat , can anyone help me ?
You can not use Firmware or ROMs for the Real Samsung Galaxy S4 for this device. If you did, there is a strong possibility you will brick the device beyond repair.
Having said that, if you indeed have a custom Rom for this device, typically those are flashed using Custom Recoveries such as ClockWorkMod (AKA CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (AKA TWRP).
I got the phone very recently, been using a rooted Sony Walkman Live for years, so I am kinda habituated to rooted devices. But, I bricked the HTC trying to root it (probably wiped system by mistake when trying to fix the root, it was showing no os installed). Now thanks to the master thread of RUU,TWRP,OTA I got the phone working, but had to downgrade it to android 4.4.2 using TWRP backup. The root wasn't working on lollipop but seem to be working fine now and all, but I want to upgrade to lollipop. What's the best way to do it because I can't risk bricking the phone again. So a detailed direction is welcomed. Thank you all

It is for d6903 not for d6603. And you cannot flash a pre-rooted ftf file if you have not rooted your phone before flashing. I think you should just flash the latest marshmallow ftf for d6603 and root you phone afterwards.

I'm pretty sure prototype protection is the apk that does that just delete it. Use kingroot to obtain root. find xz dual recovery theres actually an apk for it so if you found that and installed a prerooted zip you don't even need a computer becarefull what you are flashing if you flash the wrong stuff you could brick your phone.

Thanks for your reply.
You're saying that to install a pre-rooted Rom I should root first. Then install the rom.
Could you link me a good rooting software and flashing Roms?

I found a site which could Flash 5.1.1 W/O root using flash tools xperiafirmware.com, Could you tell me whether that method work ?
The best way is to flash kitkat and root with giefroot. 5.1.1 rooting methods by kingroot, sends your IMEI to an anonymous IP in China.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056 this is the common and safe rooting method. However, if you don't want to flash kitkat and stuff, you can flash Marshmallow ftf files(you can download them through Xperifirm) and root your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/wip-sony-android-6-0-mm-t3337357 with this method
Thank you Guys for your help ! i flashed Marshmallow ftf and the phone is smooth and got rid of all the Prototype issues. thanks again.
