Longtime lurker. But its time to contribute! I recently bought a TimingPower RK3188 and searched high and low for these tools. After endless hours of searching and translating Chinese and Japanese I brought this little package together to build your own CFW. This probably isn't for complete newbies but I made it as simple as possible. I can confirm it works on my TimingPower RK3188 using Rockchip Batch Tool as well as copying update.img to SD. Anyway, enjoy!
This is what it does:
Extract update.img as well as system.img
Pre-root your firmware
Open system folder to edit your rom
Repack update.img
I cant post links so previews are a no no I guess. Let me know how it works. If this is the wrong section I apologize.
Thanks !!
Would like to bring to your attention (as you seem the only Chef so far) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437990
Hope you can help contribute to the thread, and possibly have the first full solution, root, CWM, CFW, custom ROM
Thanks! I was looking for a material Quick installation!

Doesn't work on Windows 8 either. Compatibility setting was set to Windows XP SP3 to Windows 7, nothing worked.
Okay Windows 8 users should try this. RAR attached
Hi, I also bought a TimingPower RK3188 and was wondering where can I find Roms for it? Like a Finless Rom that might work for it? Anyone? Thanks!

I am quite happy with them. However, some notes are in order. I received them with firmware 20130715 installed, and that does not support 1080p. The timingpower.com website offers 2 updated images for it, one 20131101, the other 20131104. The 20131101 image has some improvements over the 20130715 version, but still offers only 720p, but the 20131104 version does offer 1080p. I updated both units to the 1104 version, and it went smoothly, but it can be a bit unstable at times. The screen and sound cut out at random intervals, but I got used to that, even thought it is quite annoying. Overall the picture is amazing (i use it on a 65" flat screen). Speed is acceptable, not a gaming computer, but fast enough. Takes a bit to get used to using it, keep wanting to right-click stuff for options, and get dumped back a screen.
Suggest that you get a USB 2 hub (more ports are better). I connected a USB keyboard, USB mouse and USB camera (all cheap, nothing fancy), and they all worked fine. However, the tiny Bluetooth keyboard (IS11-BT05) that I got, doesn't seem to work. It pairs up just fine, and shows as recognized, but after that, nothing.
One caution note: if you do flash your device, make sure that you use a newer computer, with USB 2.0 , really old PC's with USB 1.1 will not work.
Making your own version of the ROM shouldn't be too difficult. Plenty of advise here, and there are even some tools available on the TimingPower site. I'm in the middle of customizing mine, and I have not found it particularly difficult. I mainly want to scrap some of the basic stuff, and make it more sleek (to my tastes). I am also considering incorporating a dual-boot option, for Android <-> Linus (not sure of what flavor yet).
BTW, I have an English translated version of the Chinese RKBatchTool Manual, should anyone need it.
thanks!
KitKat for CS968

Hi folks!
I have been looking for some info about our devices and if it's possible to flash an android custom rom on it, but no luck. However, there is a very similar device to the ZTE Open, It's the Alcatel One Touch Fire. It has the same hardware and also brings Firefox OS by default.
There is a custom rom in development for this device and I was just wondering if it's possible to flash it on the ZTE.
I can't post the link because I'm new, but it's easy to find it.
Thanks in advance.
Yes. Just flash in a ROM of ZTE roamer2 (V790)
ZTE Open has the same hardware spec as ZTE roamer2

Have you flashed the Open with this ROM yourself?
I did some searching and I found these:
http://www.ztedevices.com/search.html?keyword=v790 you can get the ROM from the downloads page.
Also this one: http://www.modaco.com/topic/360962-zte-kis-iii-stock-roms/?p=2156977
I haven't tested any of these myself.

i have tried lots of Android Roms for ZTE KIS, Roamer2 etc.
all lead to bootloops.
resurrection is pretty easy though, just flash the experimental ZTE FFOS 1.2 and your good.
have not found a working ICS/JB Rom until now.
the phone is crap anyways, since you can't update higher than 1.3 (without any updates then) or stick to 1.1
there are no plans whatsoever from ZTE or Mozilla to remedy this.
Thought i could at least turn it into an emergency phone by flashing a usable Android on it, but it seems that's not going to work either.

"Dude" , whatever, 1.3 is not stable on ZTE Open - i tried. i have built a 1.3 myself (check on here) and the Browser crashes constantly.
there is no updated HW layer available for 1.3 and ZTE is not going to provide one.
Mozilla doesn't care either.
the only thing that happened is they gave you a coupon so you could buy a ZTE Open C cheaper.
burned once... no thanks.
Mozilla obviously is aware of the problem though and they do want to create a phone where they control everything.
that may change the game a bit.
also, all available FFOS devices are madly overpriced for the hardware specs.

Actually any version of FirefoxOS is stable, especially after version 1.2. I found many ROMS, even 2.1, but always have a problem. That is why he was hoping to install some Android ROM on my ZTE Open.

I can honestly say Open C, is worth what I paid for it, I dual boot the phone, run android from sdcard, run FF from phone, the specs aren't the best but worth the price I paid for it, the flame clearly is over priced, and I wont be getting that phone. Open C is most likely the only FF phone I will buy, I like the ideal I can build my own OS, and choose from several different OSes to use. Also I can simply reboot into android when I need to run a navigation app, or want to run an android app.
I have never used Open so don't know about it's problems, Open C is a nice phone, FF runs very well on it as does android, Specs aren't the best this isn't a power house phone, but a very usable phone.
This is compiled from Nvidia's source using instructions found on this page Link
You need to have an unlocked bootloader and adb/fastboot.
Be aware this does not include any of nvidia's apps or google's frameworks/play store and is just plain android with no extras. (If someone can pull from their /system it may be helpful). I will try to add more later, but this should at least get any bricked tablets going until nvidia released a factory image.

You'll have to root and push a gapps package into your root directory. We don't have a recovery unfortunately.
precisely...
yeah I normally just slap it in the sd card then boot into twrp and flash away but it's kinda hard at the moment. and even stock recovery is upside down and wont get past the android icon no matter the button combo. lol im SOL.
Pretty sure I received a Lemon Tablet though out of the box. Wifi Was really choppy, but then I factory reset it and wifi was just completely gone. but this reenabled the wifi...thank god. but no playstore/google account is a huge bummer! lmao
I appreciate the fast response though man! I'm not stupid with android, but dummy stock makes me scratch my head. I can throw adb commands all day but I just cant push install them for some reason...maybe im just rtarded
I had some issues just pushing too, try using these commands.
Code:
adb root
adb remount
(from inside the extracted gapps folder)
adb push system /system
WORKED!
Thanks man! Went perfectly smooth! I forogot about pushing the full folder like that. Havent had to do it inna while but yeah man it went smooth as day! Thanks! now to just wait for the factory img...lol
BTW do you know what I have to rename the tablet under about device to make it look as the shield tablet to the playstore? I was using grid when the wifi crapped but I cant use grid as it says my device isnt supported.

I'm not sure exactly what it needs to be changed to, if someone could get a dump of the stock rom it would help. I tried to see if someone could get me a dump, but I've had no luck yet.
I hear yuh. Yeah I'm no help onna dump at the moment. If somebody could post even a screen shot of their about tablet I can rename the stuff directly. I use ROM Toolbox Pro and use the build prop editor. You just rename the builds to the stock nvidia one and you should be golden as the play store reads it as stock nvidia android...I think...I had to do it with the kindle fire back in the day to make it look like a Nexus 7.

Yes, you should be able to change a few things to make it work. I think most of what you can se is cosmetic and you'll have to change the ro.build.fingerprint too if I'm not mistaken.

Hopefully someone who is rooted/stock is willing to send us some screen shots. I actually kinda prefer this build over the stock nvidia one...its a lot faster. Theres absolutely no lag...granted I use sd maid/unlocker, fstrim, and nova. But so far this rom has been great. And you cant beat that barebone feel of android! Although the nvidia optimizer is there its unavailable through the settings menu. You can tell how stuff is like in there but hidden. Theres pros and cons to both. I just need to get the right build props to make the playstore see this as the shield tablet. Youve been a great help bub btw I appreciate it.
It just sucks that my first experience with the shield tablet was a bad install of android out of the box? Thats the first time ive ever had a software related wifi failure. The only other time was eith my droid 2 back in the day. LOL
Btw Other Shield Tablet owners, this is the screenshot I need from YOU so i know what to change my props too. Im using rom toolbox pro, but the lite version allows adjustments too. All I need is the screenshot! Much appreciated!

This build has external sdcard issues. My 128 GB SD card shows as damaged, every other ROM with sdcard support (including stock) works fine. I'd love to be able to use a pure android build on the tab, any chance of making another build?

Is there any way to install xposed on the shield? I know that the xposed installer page has instructions that supports up to android 5.1, but the shield tv has not been tested on it, nor does it appear that it would work. It shows that arm and x86 processors work with it. So i am kind of worried about trying it. Anyone tried this?
I don't see what about it wouldn't work. I had the romancer unofficial on my Shield with 1.3 firmware, and it worked fine. I'm now running the official latest on Full Android 1.8, and it also works fine. Just install the 64 bit arm version. Give it a shot. Not all modules work of course, but it wolked for me with a module that disabled the safe headphone volume check, so I can confirm that it works.

your opinion is very informative .i think it will be very usefull for the acqusier.

Hi there from germany and sorry for resurrecting the thread.
I've got my ShieldTV (16g) two days ago and I'm also interested if I can get xposed on the Shield TV (and didn't want to start a new thread). Currently I'am running the stock rom (rooted with the xda manual) and don't want to change to full android.
Is there any possibility to get it running? And which version would work? The main reason for me is to get away the ads on YouTube

Pretty sure the official (newer-ish) versions of xposed by rovo work on our shields, although i'd try to confirm that before trying as my minds a little hazy and i wouldnt want to be mistaken and be responsible for folks soft/hard bricking their shields..........im pretty sure i asked this question to zulu in his full android thread, and i think i remember him saying we could.......zulu's guide saying to use romracers version i believe was made before official support came along(which is why i asked the question)......but like i said, probably worth asking for confirmation by a user who has indeed flashed the official versions with no issues
Assuming my minds not playing tricks on me, and we can flash the officials, their, MIGHT, be better compatibility aswell

Today I'm sharing Slash TV, created by myself. The same developer as retro pie on the tinkerboard. This is set up to have more of an android TV feel to it, Sega Saturn is working, Dreamcast, psp, all the earlier emulators, Netflix, Kodi, Plex, and much more. This is the official public release. It is sized at 16 gb. If you use a larger SD you can use gparted to get the space back, or factory reset. If you use factory reset once it reboots use play store to get chrome, then get magisk 5.9.1 to restore root. There is no custom recovery yet. Just root. Also magisk had to be manually installed so don't update it. Other then that, enjoy and have fun.

Android Nougat was giving me some major display issues when dealing with higher end TVs though, so I switched to Marshmallow.

Hello, thank you for the ROM I am however having a buggy issue once i install on my tinker board s. It deletes what ever i type in browser, closes pages of games or what ever I open, it backspace or cancels my selections. I checked my controls and those are not the problem. It seems to be withing this android ROM. I do not know how to even begin to find the cause. On my old Rom it does not do this.. I do not have the know how to update my old ROM that's why I am looking for built tweaked Roms. RC 3288c
i'm using this OS now, but my i can't use my speaker thru it's 3.5mm jack.. anyway thanks to this OS. I'm using bluetooth speaker as an alternative..

No, you just flash the image to SD using win32diskimager or etcher.

its my youtube in the tutorials section, tech toy tinker
do you have any mirror for 3.2
@godkingofcanada Thank you for your ROM. My Tinkerboard has finally found it's place as a TV STB and it's role as a Nextcloud server has been given to a 64-bit ARM, which would require less maintenance.
