Finally, I kept wondering why XDA cannot be organised, and cannot adopt this system for all threads and stickies meaning all rules and XDA guides, should be here too, instead of being another sticky by another MOD. Thus the moment a guest or member clicks on this link or meant to pop up automatically the moment anyone visit this forum, they have it all.
References and guides and note worthy XDA articles can all be linked here . similar to the master guide you have already mentioned but including all the MOD's request , for every-time there is New MOD, I notice another sticky, all well meant and needed BUT can be placed in one sticky, is what I would think is a better organized forum. IMHO
And this thread should be managed by all MOD's instead of just one, who might retire or may be too busy with other tasks

Members, Please do not post in this thread unless you have a sticky request. Any off topic posts will be deleted immediately

If the title of my thread could be changed from 50 to 100, that'd be great.
Thanks.

Hi!
Here is your device section,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2
The development sections have many roms to choose from, assuming you have installed a custom recovery.
If not, I suggest reading the guides and frequently asked questions threads in the General and Q&A sections... Usually near the top of the first pages.
There's a lot to read and learn about here... You'll need to dedicate time for this hobby.
If you have further questions , you can open a thread in the Q&A section.
Good luck!

Do a google search for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
Or a search for:
"Stock firmware for (your model number)"
Or you can go to Sammobile .com or samsung-updates .com and use your model number to search there, you can then choose the newest firmware available for your model number if you want to have the most up to date firmware. Or you can choose any of the available firmwares for your model number.

The thread says it is for G930F, you have G9300. ROMs are built for specific model numbers but sometimes devices in the sane series can share ROMs. You'll have to read through that thread or ask questions in that thread to see if that ROM works on your device. Don't use it unless you get confirmation or see it documented somewhere that it actually works on your model.

When you get a total of 10 posts you will then be able to post in development threads. That's a standard thing they have in place here to keep new members out of development threads and give them time to learn their way around here and get familiar with the rules before they post in serious development threads.
Find the Off-Topic forum here and make some posts or ask more questions in the help threads and Q&A forum. When you get to a total of 10 posts then go ask in the thread the ROM is in.

[CLOSED] Fake/Clone p40 pro

Hi folks!
Recently I've bought a p40 pro clone that is driving me crazy.
I can't barely use it as all the tweaks to make it look like a better phone are provoking some apps to fail. The about phone screen says that is a p40pro (without spaces), the CPU is a MT6799 when in reality is a MT6580, 12Gb of RAM but is 1Gb, Android 10.1 but it's 5.1, hahaha, it can't be more fake, but no regrets, I have what I've paid for!!!.
My initial idea with this crappy thing was to upgrade the android version to 6.x, but everything is pretty tough, at least with my little knowledge in custom roms, kernel etc.
First of all I'm not able to install TWRP on it. I can't find or make a working version:
I thought that this model was pretty similar and I tried with the TWRP included on the thread about a p40pro+, but the touchscreen after entering recovery was somehow inverted and seemed laggy: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/alps-clone-p40-pro-wish-com.4211591/
With the one at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unknown-china-device-p40-pro.4200617/post-85249887 it don't work too.
Finally I came to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ediatek-mt67xx-64bit-new-32bit-phone.3681861/ and I managed to make a custom TWRP which initially seemed to work (the touchscreen was fine) but the sd card data was unavailable, I was like missing but if I reboot the mobile it properly boot. Maybe because I choose an incompatible model to port from.
So, I'm running out of ideas, please can someone give me a hand on that super ultra fake thing?
Here is the full rom dump, preloader and recovery:
https://mega.nz/file/2M80XY7C#0kw7qVQ5498tDrt4UdUNq49lANIO3RvS73ct6DoCPO0
I'll really appreciate any suggestion on getting a new rom for this phone, and obviously how to get twrp on it, root, and if possible a rom which makes this fakephone at least useable.
Zillions of thanks in advance!!! Take care!

@pepisxd Thread moved from the development section, for which it doesn't qualify to the Q&A sub-forum but also closed as duplicate of your other thread that I've also moved already to Q&A yesterday:

Questions belong in the Questions and Answers section; you posted this in the Development section. I have moved this thread to the correct section.

To expand on this:
1) Unlocking the bootloader is required for root; the process of unlocking the bootloader wipes the device.
2) There is a TWRP build for the G970F here. Flash in Odin, then install Magisk through TWRP.
