Download your rom from there and flash it. Do remember all app, settings and root will be lost if you do this. So don't forget to do backups.

how can i flash it.. it's .exe file. not supposed to be zip file?

If you open the .exe and connect your phone, it will flash itself.
Or you can open it, go to your temp directory and get the .zip from there.

theres no .zip in temp folder.

Updated rooted Wildfire running custom ROM to official HTC OTA update
Hi,
I have managed to update my rooted Wildfire running a custom rom to the official HTC OTA update.
I tried to update my Wildfire by restoring my pre rooted backup. This did nog work. I got error from clockwise. I ran the following steps to succesfull update my phone.
1. Install HTC Sync. For rooting purposes you had to change the Android PC driver. By installing HTC Sync that driver will be restored to the default.
2. Download a shipped rom from the link above.
3. Connect your booted up Android to your pc.
4. Run the shipped rom executable.
5. After the shipped rom is installed you can download Android OTA. By checking for updates.

Can't download
I'm trying to download a stock ROM from the above link but it gets about 7MB into the download then fails. Downloading via chrome or IE it does the same.
Is there another location to get the stock ROM from? That site seems a little naff.

[Q] Is it possible to switch from leaked 3.1 to official 3.1?

I know that Acer pulled today's update, but will it be possible to switch when it is released again?

Leaked 3.1 to official 3.1
Yes it is, just a little confusing though. You have to know which region your tablet is from http://secure3.tx.acer.com/FindSystem/FindSystem.aspx?title=Information About Your System. And then go about flashing a couple of ROMs to get you ready for the update. Instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155664
I am a total noob and wasted my whole day yesterday trying to figure this out. In the end texonex helped me out. Starting with the leaked 3.1 update here's what I did (courtesy texonex):
1. Root the device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138228). Download Acer Recovery Installer from the market, and from there install the clockwork recovery image. Choose no for a backup of the current recovery.
2. Download the backup file for 1.104.02 here, thanks to camelot1972
dl.dropbox.com/u/34113636/2011-06-24.12.20.13.zip, I guess you could also use the file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878. This is for the US version.
If your tablet is from another region you would have to find the appropriate "default" version number in the how-to (what firmware is right for my country).
3. Extract the contents from the zip file and put them in the backup folder for clockwork mod on your SD card (take your SD card out of the tablet and connect directly for all the steps), if you do not see the backup folder, I suppose you can make one,e.g. [micro sd]\clockworkmod\backup\2011-06-25.22.14.07. I guess this exact string will still show up in clockwork recovery. I made a backup of the leaked 3.1 and that gave me the folder, and I just replaced the files. The date part is obvious in the name however I wouldn't venture a guess what are the other digits in the folder name.
If you downloaded the file from [OTA] Full Package and Update page, you'll need first to decrypt the file using the decrypter and then extract the contents of the decrypted file. One of the extracted files is update.zip which goes on to the SD card no subfolder in this case.
4. Restore the firmware using CMW using full restore for the US version, or update from the sd card zip if using a full package zip file.
At this point I think you need to save the recovery image for the non-US versions. Follow the instructions in the how-to or just use acer recovery installer to flash the clockword recovery again and this time choose yes to backup the current image.
5. Download 1.104.02 to 1.141.07 update and flash it with CMW.
Or the appropriate latest update file from your region(highest version number).
6. Flash recovery image to 1.141.07, this is option 4 in Acer recovery installer.
For non-us versions restore the recovery image, unroot and restore factory defaults.
7. I stopped here and now am waiting for the OTA. According to the how-to, you roll back to the full defualt package by using the standard ACER recovery (Power + -Vol) after copying the zip file on to the SD card, delete the zip file copied before.
8. Go to settings and trigger update manually. OTA will prompt you the new 3.1 update. I suppose you do not need to unroot.
You can also install the stock ROM from here:

Thanks to Bec07 (how-to), vache (stock roms) and sc2k (un-rooting) for their contributions or I would have been totally lost in trying to downgrade my tablet from the leaked 3.1. Hope this is helpful, and goes smoothly because if it does not I wouldn't have clue how to fix it.

Sorry for this off-topic post, but you said that acer pulled the update: And I still have it (haven't updated and cant anyway). Is this not right?

What I meant was its not being pushed to more users for now.

UK CWR Backup needed Desperately (Any Version)

Hi, My UK tablet is stuck on a testing update that was on the FTP and now I cannot update my tablet. My Tablet is stuck on ThinkPadTablet_A310_02_0039_0080_UK_testing but the ThinkPadTablet_A310_02_0039_0086_UK patch only works from 02_0037_0075_UK
My only hope is that I can load on a CWR backup of someones stock tablet from any version. Then I could proceed with standard updates.
Any one who rooted their tablet and had a Nandroid / Clockwork Recovery from a UK tablet and could get that to me would be amazing.
Thanks Steven Richardson

I'm copying my backup now from my sdcard. Will zip it and upload for you in a couple of hours. Its a stock 86 UK backup. Hope that's what you need.

Thats amazing thank you so very much! Cannot wait!

Sorry for the delay. Couldn't find a decent place to upload the file. Haven't used Google drive before but had to upload there as even my dropbox couldn't take it. The file is in a self-extracting archive, just run it and copy the folder "stock.ota2.clean" to your clockworkmod/backup/ folder in your external SD card.
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9_U8cZCMA1NS0FHRXRHUTFfWjg
Edit: The file is 401mb.
Edit 2: Finally managed to get it on dropbox. Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ohbf1odrvsfzamb/Stock.ota2.Clean.exe
If you don't trust the .exe archive, scan for viruses before running it.

Thanks ever so much. It works great. Have given you Thanks on the forum as well.

I installed your backup. Now i'm not able to update anymore. (Like before )
Does anyone know why?

I just uploaded a clean backup, I dont know if you can update or not. Lenovo always find a way to mess up updates so I haven't tried to update, waiting for positive news from others.

I used it an now am sitting pretty on Ice Cream Sandwich!
Had to install 87 and 89 first
I then rooted it and put in CWR and then updated to ICS and kept root!
Once again thanks

Unfortunately it is not an update to ICS is possible.
Error message every time "failed to verify whole-file signature"
It is probably better to wait for a finished backup of ICS.
I think you must CWM Uninstall before an update is possible.

You can install all of the updates. To get 87 on you have to modify the update-script file inside the update and remove the Indigo assert lines. Then use CWR to install the update.
When i installed 87 it over wrote CWR with the stock android revocery so you could continue on from there with stock recovery.
I used stock recovery to install 89 then I re-rooted and put CWR back on so I could fix the busybox error that comes with the ICS update.
I got mine fully working with root and CWR (although havent check CWR since ICS come to think about it)
Steven
EDIT: just checked ICS update puts stock recovery on.

Just got ICS working with this backup

Can you post a short tutorial, how did you proceed?
Did you have Root on ICS?

I lost root during the update. Even the OTA Root keeper wasn't able to restore it.
But then I have to try rooting it myself.
Short instruction to get ICS with this backup:
1. Restore the backup with cwr
2. Modify the updater-script in the 0087_UK update
2.1 open updater-script (/META-INF/com/ google/android/updater-script)
2.2 delete the lines 4 and 5
3. install the 0087_UK update using cwr (install zip from SD)
(This is going to overwrite the cwr)
4. Use the normal ota updates (in the settings)
5. Finished

Thats it.
My TPT has now ICS.
Thanks for help.

I'm happy for you guys that have updated to ICS but some people (me for example) still have reservations about updating to ICS. I'd be grateful if you guys could post some feedback about ICS on this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26792555#post26792555
It would also help others as well

Samsung Galaxy Tab E T377P Nougat 7.1.1 Stock and Rooted Firmware

CLOSED
Hello, I managed to get root on the new 7.1.1 firmware for the T377P. I had a problem getting any supersu zip to take and also had no luck with CF Autoroot either. I did however have luck flashing magisk though TWRP. I used the TWRP 2.8.7 modified from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-samsung-tab-e-sm-sm-smnu-smp-t3302935 *Dont forget to leave a thanks and feedback as well*
Then after you have TWRP installed flash the magisk files ill put in the drive folder as well. Reboot and install busybox and finished.
For even easier installation I made a TWRP boot and system backup that can be restored from TWRP as well just unzip and place in your TWRP folder with other backups and just restore. Its already rooted with magisk 14.0. I used 7 zip to zip so i would use it to extract it as well. I also have the theme store installed and integrated into the launcher but its not functional until i change a file or 2 I just haven't had the time yet but I will also upload a flashable zip after i finish it. The theme store works but Samsung recognizes its a tablet so it gives you a device not supported screen I just have to change the device model in the system files.
Also I put in the drive folder a stock firmware just unzip and flash through odin 3.10.7. its untouched completely stock.
The stock and rooted are both 7.1.1 SPR_T377PVPU3CQI4 firmware.
STOCK AND ROOTED ROM. MAGISK FILE TO FLASH AS WELL
If i forgot something or posted incorrectly i apologize Im not much of a dev yet just a tinkerer that stumbles onto stuff occasionally so I haven't created many threads I just try to share when i find out something I haven't seen posted. I welcome constructive criticism too lol. Have fun any questions feel free to ask and as always enjoy
If I helped you out feel free to hit thanks
I ALSO PUT IN A FEW OTHER USEFUL FILES IN WITH THE FIRMWARES. FEEL FREE TO DOWNLOAD THERE COMPATIBLE WITH THE T377P. THE UPDATED MAGISK AIO ZIP IS IN THERE AS WELL

Almost complete theme store and UI upgrade
ok I almost have the theme store working. The only issue im having is they fail to install. im thinking its the overlay folder setup incorrectly or its in the floating feature file it does not have the changable UI in it. Another thing i did was modify the Android N UI. It now is the same as the phones so no split screen tab junk. I never liked the split screen.
Anyone with experience feel free to help out I just need the themes to install. it stops at completing download then followed by fail.
As you can see it even gives us the rounded google search bar.
In this folder i put in the updates build prop and theme support. Flash with TWRP both files then reboot. After you boot up it will say Android N is updating then it will modify your tab to a phone look with the round search bar. Still need the themes to finish installing so any help would be wonderful. see pics below

Any devs with theme store experience i have a small but simple problem im sure. Need assistance getting themes to finish installing. Thank you in advance

Please help me, i have a hard bricked SM-T377P, if you have one in hands you can help me to unbrick mine, it will take only 2 minutes! Here is my thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/help-sm-t377p-hard-bricked-debrick-img-t3711889

Has anyone else installed this?

Yes I have installed this using the TWRP and flashing Magisk method but for some reason, many of my apps now force close or freezes but it is rooted and pass safety net check. Trying to install Xposed also brings up an error but if I read somewhere correctly, there is conflict with Xposed and Nougat. I haven't tried the TWRP backup rooted rom yet.

I installed via twrp backup, and installed the audio mod and downloaded magisk 16,works great, except the audio sounds fast and high pitched, like Alvin & the chipmunks, even with all effects disabled any idea? Also, with magisksu running the show, why is the supersu apk in /system? I can just delete that right? Thanks! =)
Update: I reflashed without wiping data and did not reflash the audio mod and that fixed the problem there! How do you install themes?

Post deleted

I know this is an old thread but has anyone run into the issue of google play services no longer working after flashing the stock ROM? Any idea how I would fix it? I've tried uninstalling all play services and play store updates as well as wiping cache and storage of both. I've also wiped the cache and storage of the google framework.

Do You Have Any Tutorial, Help PLZ...

I know this is a old post but thank you.I have been beating my brains with how to get texting and phone on this tablet.....you have solved that all for me.THANK YOU

i just flashed with twrp and bammm no majisk

Please help me with an OTA update

Hi everyone. I'm new here on XDA and this is my first post so if I'm doing this wrong, please let me know below or provide a link if my problem has already been solved, thank you.
I have an s8+(SM-G955F, dream2ltexx/dream2lte), running 9.0.0. I have both, TWRP(3.3.1) and Magisk(latest) + edxposed(for what is worth). I am also running a custom kernel A2N. I received a week ago an OTA update and I would like to apply it. This is my first ever OTA update on a rooted device so I read a ton of posts and tutorials in the past few days, also backed up everything using TWRP. From what I understood(and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or show a better solution) I need to first install the default recovery image, lose TWRP, unroot, do the OTA and after that, reinstall TWRP and Magisk(I think I also need to return to stock kernel, not sure).
Important: I would very much like to not factory reset my phone if this is possible.
Now, I have a few questions:
1. Where can I get my default recovery.img ? (I tried to find it on https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:468 but they don't have anything for android 9)
2. Do I also need to get and install my default kernel ? If so, where can I also get it ?
2. After I flash the recovery.img what is the best thing to do with Magisk ? (completly uninstall or just restore image ?)
3. After everything is done, will flashing TWRP require to remount the partitions ?(because that will also mean I have to factory reset at some point)
4. It would also be super helpful if you could provide me a link from where I can download OTA updates as zip files(if there exist such a place). The version that I need is: G955FXXS8DTC1
I cannot thank you enough for everything and sorry for the long post
Hope you have a safe, beautiful day !
P.S. I already tried to do the OTA update after backup. It tried to flash it throw TWRP and, of course, it failed(error: 7)
