[Completed] [Q] root,custom roms,recovery for the zte z730 t-mobile

Hey guys and gals so i have a ZTE Z730 t-mobile i successfully rooted the phone and it also installed CWM v6.0.5. Here's my issue other than im a complete newbie, i downloaded rom MGR and it was not compatible with that version of CWM. Im guessing that there arent any custom roms out for this yet so my question is can i use a different recovery so i can flash custom roms if so what and where can i find these like i said im just starting out and want to learn all that is possible about flashing roms and such for android not sure where to start i really dont want to use the same root method because of the fact that it automatically puts the cwm v6.0.5.0 on it and i cant do anything with it or can i ? well i hope someone can reach out and point me in the rite direction it would be greatly appreciated and thank you ahead of time be well billy (a desperate newbie).
Just a side note that rooted z730 i had i tried to uninstall the cwm and failed miserably so that phone lies in the newbie android user graveyard i actually just purchased another today.:fingers-crossed:

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately if there are no ROMs available for your device no amount of changing recovery will be able to fix that. You can only flash ROMs that were developed for your device, and if none of those actually exist, you're fresh out of luck. But, if you have root you can still customise your stock ROM a bit by using Xposed Framework:
Xposed - General info, versions & changelog
And you'll find an entire section of XDA dedicated to compatible Xposed Framework modules:
Xposed Framework Modules
So I'd suggest you do some looking around there and start customising your device.
Good luck!

Very helpful a huge thank you
:good:

Xposed???

Has anyone attempted to install xposed framework? I downloaded the installer but can't convince myself to try it. Can't afford a new phone if I brick this one. Anyone help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Last I read Xposed for Samsung Lollipop roms wasn't available yet. It's available in beta for Lollipop, but AOSP only.
Read more about it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

Touchwiz will not work with Xposed as of yet. Rovo, the creator of Xposed is not spending much time on it either. I understand he has a personal life and development isn't his priority which is cool but I've used xposed for the past 3 years and I will feel naked with the new S6, I guess I should learn to move on until it comes back. Hopefully Rovo comes back on board and builds on it or we can get another solution to things like Wanam, app settings and youtube adaway.

Thanks for the help guys. Hopefully we start to seem some development soon. I'm glad to have root the day I got the phone, but I agree with you Brava27, it feels naked without xposed and a custom rom. Anyone know if anyone is working on a custom recovery?

Why do you want to root your phone, if you want to change your rom?
You just need a Custom Recovery (e.g. TWRP) in which you can flash your favorite ROM.
Here is a beginners guide, which i found in this section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
Step 2 & 5 are, what you are intrested about.
Just read carefully and follow the instructions and there will be no problems.
Good Luck

ROOT for PX5 HU OREO 8.0

We need root for 8.0 HU
Maby malaysk or others developers will share the metod to root. To inject supersu.
It is not fair to have the "monopoly" of rooting PX5 8.0 HU.
@Malaysk need to share hes metod for rooting.
Here on XDA it is not place for ego. It is not a bussiness and a good developer has not fear for concurence. Wee are stuck with one custom ROM becouse nobody are finding the method for rooting 8.0
All of us are here on XDA for learning, sharing and dezvolt software. I hope, somebody, or Malaysk will post the metod for rooting PX5 8.0 HU
Thank you!

Did you try kumarai's method?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75741195&postcount=519
This is Magisk instead of superSU.
In my case HA made PX5-2G unit succeeded and GS made PX5-4G unit did not boot.

The same in my case...
The answer of Kumaray was: I do not have the HU any more for testing/release a good root metod
Maby we must start to donate for a brand new P5X 4G 8.0 HU to this developer.

I managed to Root GS unit and it should work on any Unit. Just it's a bit complicated. But have a look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcd-software-development/px5-oreo-rom-t3736950/page69

Boot image needs to be modified. In Oreo everything is signed so it's not only one problem. Other is I have a problems with unpacking and repacking for our PX5 proccessor. I spend few hours today and there is some progress but you need to be patient.

I just wanted to request if you could please work on a Magisk rooting method instead of SuperSU? The reason is the magisk modules. Anyone can then easily install xposed or viper4android or whatever they want right from magisk manager. With SuperSU you are unable to do these things easily as I'm sure you're aware.
Really appreciate you taking the time to do this and thank you very much in advance.

To everybody that had a black screen after trying the kumarai's method:
I too had the black screen, waited for about 2 minutes then I rebooted the HU from the reset button (not from the power button) and it booted. Everything is ok, Magisk installed and updated.

Can you install modules? I couldn't install magisk modules after rooting the headunit using his method

Don't know, didn't try, I was interested in rooting it only. It's rooted, Magisk Manager is there, I think it's possible.

You're stuck with one custom rom because one person dedicated their time and resources to creating one. The tools and knowledge are all out there for anyone else, including yourself, to give it a shot. Until someone else comes along and wants to donate hours from their lives to develop software for what is, a fairly small and insignificant niche market in the overall android scene, I guess we should be thankful for the ones that do it. I can also pretty much tell you that the second someone finds an easily repeatable process for obtaining root, we're not going to suddenly faced with an overwhelming amount of roms to choose from. The PX3 has been rooted for quite some time and there are two custom roms available for it to this day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Galaxy tab4 sm t230 updated firmware

Hi guys
I'm looking to update the firmware on this old tablet as it's a bit out of date and a bit sluggish it's been a long time since I've rooted or flashed anything android. I own a Linux satellite receiver and have flashed firmware images bootloader etc so hoping this will help me. I'm basically looking for a guide from start to finish to bring this tablet a bit more up to date, hope somebody can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Check if these 2 ROMs are enough stable for you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...11-cm-14-1-based-android-4-4-4-7-1-2.3648887/

Thanks matteo I think I'd like to try your build I've read quite a few of your post and you seem to know quite a lot about these tablets all I need to know now is what to download and how to flash it
Thanks

What to download is in the thread (rom, gapps and twrp), and you can find instructions all over the internet. I've wrote something in my thread of lineage 16 and twrp on how to install them (lineage 16 has the same instructions as the other ROMs I've linked you) too. What I advice you is to understand well what you have to do before doing everything. Otherwise, it can happen that you'll come back and say: "device doesn't boot anymore, what to do now?"

Yes I'm trying to gather as much information as I can so as to avoid any problems when I actually try to do the flash process. I will read up some more.
Thanks again

Hey Matteo- do you think this ROM is still the best option for those of us with a SM-T230 / DEGAS ? There isn't a proper LineageOS build is there? Appreciate the knowledge, thank you.

Yes. There's a LOS16 for T235, but not for T230.

Hi, I will ask maybe stupid question, since knowledge is 0 in terms of android, but is there a possibility to upload some ROM with android 9.0 to T230? (I even do not know if I haven't made mistake in question )
Anyway I need 9.0 for app and already rooted device following step by step instruction.
Thx in advance

No, since there aren't any devs with enough interest/knowledge to make them.

Hi there. I have found an old SM-T230. I need to install some apps, which require at least Android 7. Will the above Custom ROMS work in that way, that i can install apps build for Android 7 or higher? I fear, i have to find some GApps but thats a other story... if someone can assist to find the right ROM and GApps, this would be nice...
