Clueless - General Topics

I have a problem with my xiaoxin TB-8804F tablet. It's an international version so has Google Play services for the owner logged in but does not for any of the user profiles I create. Very frustrating.
So I'm thinking, flash a rom? But I'm clueless. Custom recovery, custom rom - these are just words to me. Anyone feel like educating me and helping me get a new and more useful operating system on this thing?
I would appreciate any advice. And sorry if I've posted in the wrong place.

blob-V4 vs blob_V5

Hi all,
I am the happy owner of a transformer chinese version. But unfortunately, i dont have google apps, market and other stuff in my tab.
I wish to root, so i will be able to install an US custom firmware and then i should be able to get everything.
After looking at all the guide, there is a talk about BLOB but i cant understand exactly what is this?
There is apparently blob V4 and blob V5. Can you please let me know the difference and which one should i use?
Thanks a Lot
Well after consulting with my own common sense, I surprisingly came to the conclusion that V5 was an updated V4, then by searching the forums I confirmed these astounding findings!
Thanks for the answer and the bit of humour
Maybe there is any relations with firmware version?
I emphasis that i dont know what is a blob at all...
The blob in this case simply installs clockworkmod recovery. This does not correlate with any ROM.

[Q] Unroot Asus ME127V?

Hey everyone, I apologize in advance for my ignorance here. Mods, I searched for this to the best of my limited ability, and I don't think this exact thing is covered elsewhere (and I can't post in the Developers forums with a new account). If I'm mistaken and this is addressed, or if this is not the right place for this question, I apologize--please move it accordingly.
I have an ASUS ME127V which I rooted and installed Clockworkmod Recovery following the guides here in the Dev forums (this was about a year ago, so things may have changed in the interim).
Recently I've become aware of the SSL issues with Android 4.1.1, so I'd like to restore my tablet to stock and upgrade my Android version, but unfortunately I'm just coming up short every time I try to do this. I've tried the AMPC beta app that's linked to in the dev forum, but haven't managed to get it to work, partly because I'm not certain what other files I need.
Can anybody point me toward a simple step-by-step for unrooting/removing CWM/returning to stock?
Thanks for your help and patience.

[Q] [REQ] NEW DEVICE: NB7850 S (Tablet)

Device info: http://www.bidwelltec.com/nb7850-s/

Please help, I am in stock ROM H.E.Double hockey sticks.
Thank you to anyone who can help me root this device and get a recovery flashed and !maybe guide me on developing for this device. I am so lost when it co!es to Android developmemt and would appreciate any help I can get to demystify this. I like to write easy to follow noob related articles so help me, to help you. LoL thank you everyone. ?:good:

Hi, sorry to say but it appears to be a bit of a white box brand so it's unlikely to gain support due to it being unknown and present in many variants of the device.
You would be better to look around for ROMs that support specific components in the device in order to have better luck as their will be similar devices using the same components with one of them probably having a ported ROM such as CM
Hope I could help and good luck

root genius worked for me literally just rooted a few minutes ago took me forever to find one that worked

Root Genius worked for me also
Lot of applications that require root access work fine. Now, how do I do a Nandroid backup? Also, anybody know tried a custom ROM on this device? Hesitant to "just try it" until I have a full Nandroid backup.
I have one of these. Got it for $59.95 on sale via Staples website. A curious thing is that none of the preloaded apps show under My apps and the Store won't automatically update any of them. I had to look them up on the Store and install the latest versions.

Removing Google completly

Hello there guys and sorry if this has been asked before.
1. I'm a complete beginner at rooting (have never rooted any device before but read a few threads) and wanted to ask you guys on how to purge google completly after rooting.
2. Could you please also tell me, since we are flashing the stock firmware, which software is included there? Is everything the same after rooting with the difference of beeing admin and having more oportunities to work on the device?
Thank you in advance.
If your a newb start on a popular older phone. There is little to no community around the tab s7

Question Help installing custom ROM to P11 Pro (TB-J706F)

Happy holidays, everyone! Forgive me for my English in advance
I have the P11 Pro tablet (TB-J706F) and it's been amazing so far hardware-wise. However, I find the software rather lacking, so I was hoping to install a custom ROM, specifically I'm aiming for LineageOS GSI.
I've searched through this forum but I haven't found exact detailed steps on how to flash a custom ROM onto my tablet. I'm terrified of bricking this. I'm only in school on a scholarship, so I can't afford to replace this if I brick it. I've come across multiple threads of people losing their serial number because they didn't back up "persist.img", or that they needed to patch a custom vbmeta before flashing. This is all going over my head.
I'm hoping that someone could walk me through the entire process of installing a custom ROM on my tab. I've seen many posts here with people saying to learn elsewhere, but I only have until the end of winter break to do this. So I hope someone would feel generous enough to give me a sort of detailed walkthrough as to how to install a custom OS. I'm great at following instructions, I promise!
Thank you so much everyone, and an advance happy new year!
tl;dr Please walk me through installing LineageOS on my P11 Pro
Die you ever find a way? If so please share
