i was trying to remove kingroot and replace it with supersu after rooting; changed some superuser files and rebooted, now android won't load and i don't have a stock ROM or backup.
ironically i was trying to switch to supersu to get flashfire to work since i can't find a custom recovery (or any files or official english documentation) for it and don't trust flashing a possibly compatible custom recovery; it is a chinese, unbranded 8 inch tablet with built in projector, the ROM installed on it is likely customized from a network projector build of kitkat 4.4.4. the only scant documentation it came with is entirely in chinese, since it has no real "brand" i have no company site to visit for help and official downloads.
i tried a factory reset with no luck, and the stock recovery requires signed packages which would be excellent if i knew where to procure them.
the only thing i am certain of is the model rk3188, which is rockchip. i tried scouring through their entire list of firmware downloads but could not find anything close to BULUSE, H69, T80, YS, or any of the other generic names i've found it listed under.
this is the tablet:

Hi,
In recovering from a brick, I had to install new firmware on my tablet. The firmware was for a different device, but still runs on my tablet. Since I installed this firmware, the system cannot connect to either camera when I try to use the camera app. I assume this is because the firmware is configured for a different camera setup.
My tablet is a no name Chinese made tablet. It is Allwinner A33 based (I opened it up to check). The current firmware is running KitKat. I have root access.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
Hey,
is there no possibility to reflash the old firmware again? Or to recover it?
If not, I would suggest you to try other firmwares with other camera setup till you find a working one...
I have a tablet that is branded by a small company, it came free with a subscription. It is a 2016 8" android tablet at v5.1.1, it starts up with their logo and apps installed.
I want to remove this and install a stock normal version of Android, I understand this is the site to find ROMs but for specific devices. Problem is I don't think this is any known device and is custom specced and built by this company.
Is there a ROM I can use for this tablet? or is there any details I can give so we can narrow down a suitable ROM?
Thanks
Dear Android Brothers and sisters,
I am wanting to update the firmware on my S6 (downloaded from SAMmobile) but am in an odd position...
My S6 main board failed (unable to see mobile networks), and after trying everything in the known universe to fix this, concluded it was hardware and purchased a second hand main board off eBay, that I've now fitted. It was working OK, but is from France (I am in England).
It worked OK but had an ancient stock ROM. The first thing I wanted to do was install Lineage, however there didn't seem any option to allow for the bootloader to be unlocked to allow me to flash the TWRP recovery. After much 'jiggary pokery', I downloaded the English firmware from SAMmobile, extracted all of the binaries and tried to flash them individually using Heimdall (I run Linux not Windows). Whilst this worked for some, there appeared to be a mismach in the partitions that were expected - I guess this is something to do with the France firmware being structured differently? So after a bit of soft-bricking, I managed to get Lineage on the phone, which is mostly working, but behaving somewhat strangely. At the end of the day, I want the latest firmware (radio etc.) and to have Lineage working OK.
Is it possible for me to somehow flash the English firmware on this French board (including the PIT which I assume relates to the partition structure which will allow it all to work)? Any ideas how I'd do this? If I'd have to use Odin, so be it, I'll do it work on my windows box, but ultimately I would like someone to confirm I can do this without bricking my phone. I've read around and people seem to suggest it would be OK but I don't know the best way to do this. I assume the best way to get to my stable end, would be to flash the latest English firmware from SAMmobile, unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP then install Lineage in the 'normal' way?
Any thoughts or suggestions (including pointers to other posts I may have missed) really gratefully received !
Cheers,
Neon
Hello forum folks,
I am a newbie to this forum. My only experience is putting a custom ROM on ar phone, so I knew a few basics.
I have a few questions about one device... Wiko View 2 Plus.
Because this phone is not too old there are no custom ROM's available. When do custom ROM's usually start to appear for less popular devices like this one? Do they appear at all?
Also, it I tried to boot into bootloader/fastboot. It seems to be blocked on this device. I tried a few methods from the internet to unlock it, (yes, my OEM is unlocked, USB debugging is on, etc.) but I did not succeed to enter this mode at all. I even replaced the new update by installing an older firmware version. But it didn't change things.
Since this is not possible, I have another question. Can one modify the original ROM (which extracts during the WIKO setup to set back the device to facotry reset) an make this ROM custom? And then install this custom ROM with the official setup?
Can you also modify a downloaded android update before installing it?
Thanks in advance.
Bump
Have you found a solution?
I can't find a good twrp for the Wiko View 2 Pro, any idea?
Hey there,
I´ve had a Chuwi Hi8 lying in a drawer for years because I never had use for it. Now I would love to use it as a Dashboard for my Home-Assistant but that would require Android 5+.
I know that there are update for this Device around but all links on the official forums are dead and there are LOTS of shady sites when googling for updates to this device.
Ofc it is a far shot finding someone here that has experience with a stupid Device like this but hey, maybe I hit the jackpot
Moving from Android 4.4 to Android 5+ isn't an update but an upgrade.
To upgrade your phone's Android you need a
1. Custom Recovery
2. Custom ROM
both suitable to the phone.
If both found then you flash the Custom Recovery and if successful, you flash the Custom ROM by means of the Custom Recovery.
