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.

I was wondering if I can install any other ROM on a zeepad that I have. The current one has had issues from the start and I tried to update from the zeepad website and it basically bricked the device. So I would like to see if there's an android image I can put on there that's comparable and basically let's the device function again. Any suggestions?
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:

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?
I'm really hoping someone here can help me with this. I was recently given an Insignia Tablet model NS-14T004.When I got it charged, and began looking at the apps, etc it was running, I started trying to update it, only to find out about it's history with Best Buy, being discontinued by Insignia, not supported for updates, etc. It currently has Android 4.2.2 OS, so is it possible for me to update it to run a more modern version, and if so, can I get some help with it, please? Thank you
The steps you've to do
Check tablet's bootloader is unlockable
If unlockable then find a Custom Recovery suitable to your tablet
If found then find a Custom ROM suitable to your tablet
If found
Unlock booloader
Flash Custom Recovery
Flash Custom ROM
Thanks, I'll start looking that stuff over now
Hello and good day everyone,
I am facing alot of unfamiliar behavior because of the Chinese Rom also i can`t install the Global Rom as per the Nubia Tech support.
So i decided to root my device and install a custom rom that i can do everything i want as per my older android devices.
I looked on many sites but i didn`t find any repo i can install it on my device!
Does anyone know of Custom Rom that is support on Red Magic 7 Pro????
The device just launched globally and there isnt even a TWRP build yet.
You will need to wait quite a while, even then, this is a very niche device and might never get a custom rom.
That's unfortunate news for me!!!!
The device is one of the best I have ever used,
But the Android system they installed on it is Bull......
That's something i'm very concerned over, I wouldn't want to purchase a device that doesn't have any custom roms available , I much prefer clean stock android or pixel experience roms , it's concerning to consider this phone may be stuck with only firmware updates from the official manufacturer, I also tried looking for older models from redmagic and they also seem to have very minimal to no custom roms,
I don't trust redmagic with keeping up to date with android judging by how older models also not getting any firmware updates to android 11,12,13...
I am personally holding off from buying this phone because of this factor , likely will end up buying a different phone if something more interesting will release from a more known manufacturer with better custom development community
Actually, this device is not compatible with Twrp.
We have to wait a long time to see a custom rom.
