downgrade Android - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Hey guys,
I would like to downgrade my MTCD 5.1.1 to android 4.something. This because a lot of people say it is smoother and just works better.
Is this possible and are there any setbacks or good things about it?

Any help?

Although the MTCB can be upgraded to 5.1.1, unfortunately the MTCD cannot be downgraded to 4.4.4 and there are no roms for that.

From a technical point if view do you know what is impeding this, e.g. different kernel or drivers?

Different hardware, it will not work unfortunally.

Being honest I'm surprised it wasn't launched on 4.4.4 so I'd imagine we'll get there eventually

Yes, that's it....i'm surprised too!!
That's why i'm asking you guys!!
Android 4.4.4 exists for a long time, and i don't understand why CM11S don´t have it, even CM11 for OnePlus works in Android 4.4.4, but CM11S(dedicated ROM) not.
Thank you, for your reply!
We all are waiting for next CM11S OTA Update....
They announced another update for this week or next

I haven't receive it yet, clarify me, because the 11s it's on 4.4.2 right ?
Anyone play with nightlies 4.4.4 ?? They works well ? no major bugs at all ? what functions you lost from 11s ?
sorry for the too many questions

Still not OTA update for Android 4.4.4....that's what we are talking about...
But it seems it is on it's way to get it.
About normal CM 11 nightlys, yes, already rolls with Android 4.4.4, but for sure you lose some features dedicated to OnePlus One, developed in CM11S, like Camera features.
So, i think it's better to wait for new CM11S OTA.

Lets be honest your asking in xda has anyone play with nightlies... come on now 95% of the people in here are running a custom rom. Waiting for a company to update your phone when there are capable developers here making your phone better to me is a waste of time. Root and upgrade your phone at your leisure and enjoy. Here is the changelog from 4.4.3 and 4.4.4
whatever is lost from 11S can be obtained just by searching this forum and nightlies of course will have more upldated options

Camera, lockscreen and kernel from CM11S can all be implemented back into nightlies
as far as version 4.4.4 of android is an openssl fix which is already present in cm11s. its nothing but a number at this point. but there will be an ota update soon. my guess is by wednesday if they keep doing updates on a monthly schedule.

I thought I read somewhere that CM11s camera will work on CM11 ROMs by just installing the .apk

Yes it can and I stated that on the page earlier. Also its only an apk not a big deal to try and see if it works. I use it on every rom that I have flashed in here including CM11
More than anything, they need to merge the latest CM M9 improvements into this next OTA. I don't even know if the current software is based on M8 or not.

No and this information is out there may I suggest some research. Please research before rooting as well so you know what you are getting into and know all your risks.
Plus any OTA will have a zip in the forum anyways. Plus they are on 4.4.2 we are all on 4.4.4 with Android L rom in the works. Be ahead of the curve root your phone and flash new CM

Cubit S600 update question

Hi all,
I have just got a Cubot S600 to try out Android as I have always been a Windows Mobile user.
The phone comes with 5.1 out the box, would it be possible to flash it with 6.0?
Many thanks in advance.

Official update of marshmallow is not released yet for your phone. You can check for updates in your phones settings if you want.cubot hasn't released list of phones to receive the updates either.
You can flash unofficial android 6 custom ROM if it is available
Look it up

Thanks for the reply, I understand that marshmallow is not available.
When I was cooking my own winmo6.5 ROMs I had to only have certain ROMs. I have been out the game a while, would any ROM work, or would I need specific roms ?

You would need device specific ROM or else your phone won't boot.

I need helping rooting my Amazon Fire 5th gen 5.3.2 OS

I have looked extensively for a good method to accomplish this but so far, all I have found is for version older than 5.3.2. Does that mean that there aren't any tutorial available or is it that my device is unrootable? Thanks in advance!!

Looking at Fire OS, all versions above 5.1.1 are just modifications done over Android 5.1.1 so any method which works for 5.1.1 should work for your version too. Try them as per guides which you'll find here.

Does this mean that my version doesn't need to be downgraded before the root??

Hi there!
Since Android OS version remains same it may not have any effect on root methods. My suggestion is to install custom recovery as soon as you make some system level changes like bootloader unlock/rooting. If anything goes wrong you can flash some roms and fix any possible errors.

Marshmallow ROM's?

Hello XDA,
Are there any roms available still for this phone that run 6.0? I prefer to run that since Xposed isn't completely working with Nougat yet. Thanks.

SM-T330NU Android 7 help

Hey guys,
So after browsing around the forum and reading what seemed like it may be applicable, I am running into a bit of a brick wall.
I would like to upgrade my Galaxy Tab 4 to something better then android 5. However, all the roms i find do not state my model. Needless to say, im hesitant to try one without knowing if my device will work.
My tablet is as follows:
Galaxy Tab 4, 8.0"
Model: SM-T330NU
Android Version: 5.1.1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-5306775
[email protected] #1
Build Number: LMY47X.T330NUUES1BPL1
Is there a version of Android 7 or 8 that will work on my device? If so, can you point me in the right direction?
Sorry if this was addressed somewhere else and i just didn't see it, but most of the models i was seeing were 2XX or 5XX or 3XX's that were not mine.
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks for your post. I "inherited" the same tablet from my wife and have been searching as have you. I rooted my tablet but that's as far as I have been able to get. I have seen SM-T330 builds but not SM-T330NU I searched to find out what the difference is between these two models and really never got an adequate answer. All I know is that the build for the 330 will not work on the 330NU unless I am mistaken.
Hmmm the lack of any response is starting to worry me. =( looking like i may need to buy a new tablet.....?

I too have the same Tablet. When trying to update it tells me that "The latest Updates have already been installed."
I would really like to get this Tablet a little faster. It seems to lag quite a bit.

I just flashed this ROM (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/samsung-galaxy-tab-4-light-project-t3877643) on my rooted SM-T330NU and it is working fine so far. I am using Philztouch recovery and would like to use TWRP if anyone knows a version that works with the T330-NU.

Try this version.
PS: it did not work for me, But may work for you if not Search XDA or Google with term (SM-T330NU TWRP). https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=49346
If you ever need a custom ROM, custom Recovery, etc... just type into google the device codename followed by what your looking for, EXP SM-T330NU Custom ROMs, SM-T330NU Stock ROM, SM-T330NU Custom Recoverys, SM-T330NU Root, SM-T330NU Custom Kernels, etc...
