how comparable is 2.3.1 and 2.3.3 and how similar would the cwm be? I ask because I have a cheap dopo md-702 tablet that I would like to try working with. It has 2.3.1 and I was wondering how to get cwm to work with the tablet. It has a rockchip rk2918 so any ideas on where to start digging?

Most cheap tablets cannot have cwm due to the lack of recovery menu. Cheap tablets are already rooted. Just install superuser and do whatever you want with. But once again. Due to lack of recovery you have to be careful with what you do.

In a very interesting sort of way the tablet has a recovery mode but it takes multiple steps to get to it. The long and short I used quick boot app to boot to recovery (which looked similar to a download mode) and then had to try different key presses to get into the actual recovery mode. I can run an update.zip from the menu but nothing else. It looks so similar to what the modded cwm is for our phones that I wonder if there was a way to look at the codes and compare. Also note worthy after I used Titanium Backup to unistall the phone (bad idea) I had to hit the reset button to see if I could start it back up, and it booted back to just the basic apps but still had the google play app (this tablet did not come with google play originally). There are just so many little nuances that I'm not sure what is going on with this tablet. I need to have some time to connect it to my PC so I can see if there is a way to look at the tablet through the computer similar to what I used to do with my windows phone.
There is also an upgraded model of the tablet that has 4.0, with a 1.2Ghz instead of 1Ghz processor. Is the OS (android 4.0) a part of the firmware? If I have the firmware from the newer model what are the chances it would work with the older model?
I want to copy this post over to the tablet thread and hopefully get some hits over there.

As long as you have a way to get to recovery from boot up you shouldn't have much of a problem. And Android and Windows work differently on many things. But android is more open. *you can do whatever with it* and if I'm not mistaken you can upgrade your firmware to 4.0 through recovery. Some tablets you can upgrade by downloading the firmware on the tablet's site.. Try that if it doesn't have the option to do a system update in the settings.
Right now I'm bricked, used the firmware from the upgraded model but worried that because there a gig of additional memory, but the rest of the hardware specs are identical, so right will not boot. Fuzzy lines, going to try and drain battery then charge and boot into recovery.
Let me clarify, I used the firmware from the manufacturer for the upgraded model. So I thought out would work. I've not given up but not optimistic. If I'm lucky someone can pull the original firmware and I can miraculously get it into download mode again for a reflash, that is if I can't get a factory reset.
UPDATE: I can power on to the first animation, the infamous penguin. Going to see if either computer will notice it tomorrow. If neither will, I'm not sure I can do any thing more.
UPDATE: it will connect but windows doesn't recognize it. I'm thinking I have options but will take time.

Should I root My Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 ?
Model : GT-N8000
Country : Malaysia
BTW will root cause the Tab to become slow ?
Do I need stock recovery to get OTA ?
As always if you have to ask then the answer is no .
You root when apps or mods require root only .
Root voids warranty ..
This is not the Tab forum do not use any firmware or mods from here on a Tab .
Do I need stock recovery to get OTA
Yes stock and original with no root for OTA .
jje
If you are happy with your Note, than it's not necessary.
I rooted mine, because it was still on 4.0.3, and that is the reason for the many bad reviews on the internet.
After upgrading to 4.1.2, it was like a whole new tablet.

So that I will try and root but BTW just asking is HighXXXXXXXX CMW Recovery good or Darkman Recovery Good ?
TWRP is only for stock rom right ?
There are many benefits to root. All the flashable files here require it.
But technically you will void your warranty.
However there are ways to get back to stock and "unroot" so mostly no one will know the difference if you have to return it.
Both recoveries are good, but HighOnAndroid supported a couple ROMs that Darkman didn't, though I'm not sure this is still the case

You will need to flash the HighXXXXXXXX CMW in ODIN to get root and cwm. You can then flash either darkman recovery with CWM, TWRP recovery or stay as is..
TWRP recovery isa modified recovery like the other 2 and requires root to use. If you look around you'll find the stock recovery too.
I root my tab with Darkman Recorvey is easy then I tot . Thx you guys .

Yes! Rooting is the way to go. There are ways around the warranty issues.
My main reason for rooting is for these essential apps:
Titanium Backup
Ad Blocker
Mobile ODIN
Triangle Away
ROM Toolbox Pro
and many more apps that have useful extended capabilities once rooted.
Some Con's of rooting
1) good mobile app no longer works after rooting.
So if u use good mobile for checking corporate emails, rooting device will break this.
2) there will be some overhead for you to upgrade device when any new firmwares are released. If u are a very busy professional, then this is an overhead you can live without.
3) there are and there always will be chances that you may brick your device.
4) I think u legaly void warranty on device by unlocking it. (I am assuming u want to root to load different firmware)
I am not discouraging.. just givin you other side of the coin.

Sorry to bump a three month old thread, but would anyone know whether the Lotus Traveler app used for syncing corporate email and calendar works after rooting? Good is trash, so I'm not surprised it wouldn't work. There's not much of a downside finding out for myself by rooting my Note 10.1 because I intend to keep flying stock on my Note 2; but I thought someone might save me the time and trouble.

For Lotus Traveler - I have no idea. I am unlucky enough to have Lotus Domino for our corporate e-mail and I hate it with a passion.
I have installed and configured Aqua Mail to connect to our Domino server (IMAP) and I can confirm that it works perfectly after rooting. You just need your IT guys to ensure that you have web access enabled. I set mine to check for mail every 15 minutes, if it's more urgent than that then why is it an email anyway.
Rom Noob tips, from a noob, please feel free to correct, add or expand on any points
General rooting options
Titbits
- rooting under normal circumstances shouldnt slow your system, in fact most devs i believe will attempt to make their roms bring out the best performance from that particular tab/phone you may own, throught software optimizations, in cojunction with working as best as it can with your specific hardware, although, sometimes you may have a N8013(american wifi version), the dev may have the n8000(3g version).......n810 is the european wifi version...................weve been mixing and matching rom versions here, i.e. using a n8000 rom on a n8010 hardware, ive done it, as far as i know, no adverse effects, well at least no obvious signs of em
- Usually, the process of flashing a rom will first involve rooting your tablet, and then flashing a recovery, which replaces the official one that may already be on your tab, the official one is usually pretty limited in what you can do, the custom RECOVERY is flashed because it gives you these options, but not limited
-factory reset
used when, flashing new rom, best to use the recovery when ever you wanna factory reset, i dont know if this was a oje of, or just specific to my situation, but ive used the android factory reset on my tf201 asus prime, after having rooted, custom recovery and been running a custom rom for some time, and it soft brick, since thats happenened ive been shy to do it on any android device, which is cool, as the custom recovery is a beatiful thing.......maybe someone can expand on or correct that suspicion
- wipes
cache- wipe your app cache
Davlik - someone gonna have to chime in there
factory/data reset- brings back your android back to its original state, wipes your data, that means, all apps installed, all settings changed
format - allows you to format the different seperate sections of your android rom, example of the different sections would be......kernel, os, sd hardrive ........
nandroid - the best part of a custom recovery in my opinion, the ability to completely back up your rom, settings, apps, homescreens, widgets......essentially, restoring your android EXACTLY where you left off, the few seconds before, it takes to boot into recovery and start the backup procedure..........you can also backup and restore only certain sections of your rom, so you may decide to back up just the kernel, or you may decide to restore, JUST the kernel from a FULL previous backup (that is, all sections backed up, minus, the sd hardrive,
Unless you specifically FORMAT the sd card, it usually wont be touched......id advice caution and reading up, before making a decision to format sd harddrive, with a custom RECOVERY, that may not know the requirements to your android device, i.e. a custom kernel ported from another android device from another company....plus, formatting sd harddrive is not really a thing done all the time, not unless you are thinking about starting from scratch, i mean, REALLY fresh, disclaimer:this would wipe any files you have stored on your android devices, specifically, documents, pics, vids so on so forth
- stock rom
the original android OS shipped with the device
- stock based rom
tweaked stock rom, speed, battery other mods
-CM (CynogenMod)
third party rom, built from the ground up, kinda....there are other different flavors of third party roms, CM is one of them
-when flashing a new rom, it is strongly advised by most devs to wipe cache/davlick and factory reset....before flashing, this helps avoid any conflicts with the previous rom and the new rom......at this point, if you were to reboot, rather then flash the rom, you would have essentially reset the rom to its original state, that means re-entering your wifi, changing settings, installing apps, generally a pain in the ass, if you find your self having to do it to many times in a short period.....titanium backup(root) is your friend, does a good job at backing up your apps and wifi.....havent figured out how to backup the settings i change in the android setting
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
-quick boot
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot
This free app, is a life saver when your new rom doesnt give you the option to reboot into your recovery, sometime found in hold power button/restart/recovery.......just more quicker then the manual way......especially when your having to google up the hardware method because you've not done it in a while and forgotten......which i believe is power off/hold volume down key/then press hold power button/wait for samsung logo/then let go of all buttons and reapettedly press volume up key untill the recovery shows up.......if you end up in DOWNLOAD mode, hold power to switch off, and repeat the process, changing the volume key, its one or the other, one takes you to the recovery, the other to download mode......so just reverse the volume keys, same method, just up instead of down
- supersu/superuser
installable app, that hands out root permission to apps that ask for root, if you dont expresly give persmision, using a supersu app, the app asking for root permission most likely will not work.... .....this app is installed as part of the rooting process
- afwall+ (free)
third party wifi/3g firewall, requires root........allows you to control what apps are able to use your wif/3g......i think its a passive firwall, as in, it uses very little of your resources, in the way it operates
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.ukanth.ufirewall
- rom flashing
sometimes, if you have already flashed a custom rom, and the dev has released the next version of his custom rom, as long as no drastic changes have been made between the two versions, you are able to flash the new version over the old version, keeping all your settings/apps/homescreen/widgets.......although a cache and davlik wipe is usually suggested if doing so
ive forgotten half of what i was originally going to write, so ill just leave it there before i rack my brains .......goodluck whatever you decide
Yes :good:
if it was me?
yea i would do it. it brings life to an old tablet. the 80XX tablets were abandoned by samsung. there are custom roms for Oreo the latest Android OS for N8000. i have a 8020 but no custom roms at the moment.
Good been waiting a whole 5 years for a reply .
Hi I'm a new member so can't post in the dev thread. Only just got my shield tv pro and the full ROM was working well. I managed to soft brick it after playing around with xposed and some reboot options. Found out the hard way that I can't boot into recovery, this may even partly caused the soft brick.
Does this ROM actually have a recovery in it? If I try a reboot app and choose recovery it boots to and hangs at a android dude fallen over with a red apostrophy symbol??? Weird thing is I can use flashfire fine, that's how I installed exposed.
Managed to reflash the ROM via fastboot and its working fine now, my only other question is how to fake a different android device. Not sure if something is wrong but there's a lot of everyday apps/games on play store reporting incompatible device.
The OEM recovery is very badly broken. Use TWRP and a USB mouse.
Pre=rooted ROMs are made available but TWRP and SuperSU work just fine.
The reason many apps are reporting 'incompatible' is because their icons don't appear in the console launcher. Those which do not appear are designed for touch devices, not a console with remote/controller. However, you'll find that Xposed/Xprivacy, TiBu and others work, you just have to do some guessing, or plug in a USB mouse for more control.

Hi y'all, i recently within the last month 2 months taken up a very unsual craving for delving deeper into my technology, with that being said. my tab 4 7.0 sm-t230 i Downloaded an app called "lucky patcher" was messing with it, been reading about deoxe(ing) my tablet,it gave me the option to do it for me (usually i enjoy the challange of using a emulated terminal and what not) but every file etc would take too long, and it worked, my daughter ot well over 150 million score on subway surfers etc. i notice my phone sluggish even bein over clocked, I/Os that i did myself, running max cpu and performance i could blabber forever since my 3 kids arnt interested in my newly found hobbie and my husbands a truck driver, i'm getting it out here (i'm sorry but i do need help) so anywyas i decided to kick her into recovery and begin to just manually delete all the dex copied files through TWRP went good till i wetn to reboot after staring at my screen for 3 hours and got threw up on twice from sick babies and i was boot looped. i decide to restore a previous freshly flashed rom/root backup. well they were deleted too. and all i could do was a master re format i think is what i read it was called, and excited to get back and re download everything i notice i now have no OS and no recoveries and TWRP fulll of emptiness. i can play through TWRP i've changed file permissions i've tried everything ive read and tried everything i learned and experianced to fix this issue, and yet stillno idea how to fix this issue..
Now the fun part is my set up. the only pc i have means and access too is my samsung Chromebook, and my tablet, that's it, no phone because my tablet handles everything my little heart can desire.
needless to say, i need some kinda recovery tool kit i can use via my chromebook, that'll allow me to use ADB for chrome (which another question i have is how do i enable my tablets USB debugging if i can't get into the phone?) so toolkit for chromebook for a ADB side load if possible. or some way to do it through my emulated terminal in TWRP,. my minds rushing, i'm confused and my over emotionally stressed female head is killing me without my tablet. (drive to any town where i could use anything but my chrome book. 3.5 hours.
sorry i pray this post doesnt get deleted. I need help because my tablet is my main source of income being in real estate when i'm back in town once a month. never made a page or a forum or anything like this usally google magic does it. but 3 days and countless mind numbing forums i've given in.. please help me! i'll donate pay something idc at this point. -a pissed off irish southen woman on the verge of pms and a meltdown thanks in advance i'll try to reply as fast as humanly possible, ill be up for awhile tonight going through more posts.
0well with a little more tinking around, i think i have found the issue as too why no matter what i do i'm unable to boot a rom/os. mt EXT3 wil not mount my system i'm clueless as to how to fix that at all threw TWRP, anyone have an idea of any kind please? i'm for anything, even if after more attempts and countless hours, i'll record me skipping it across my lake, and we'll all take guesses as too how many skips it'll do. hopefully my dog will fetch it if i throw at the wrong angle. (completely dumb jokes are the only thing keeping me from returning Sain.) we all cant be too serious. please very interested on how to fix this issue tho.
s,
you need to get a custom rom zip onto an sdcard, check development section.
in twrp, flash the rom,
if the rom still doesn't boot, then reboot to twrp again and use the format data option, then reflash rom and try again.
twrp terminal sucks, you can try flashing aromafm https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934547314
this is for the marvell variant, it may work for the msm/qcom variant.
stop using lucky patcher.

Hi, that's where another problem lies within, I have no way of communicating with the phone or being able to do much, considering the only pc/laptop i have access too is my chromebook, and this thing is a ssteaming pile of regurgitated dog bile. if theres one regret in life.. buying this thing.. even dual booted i still can't process the zips or compile them properly, maybe i need to find out how to build a zip file from scratch and comepile the corresponding stuff myself in small hopes it'll work on this chromebook
and yes, never again will I use that. it worked don't get me wrong. but then it decided to deodex my system to oblivion.
s,
hey that rhymed !
your alternative is to use a usb thumbdrive and an otg cable , else nada.

I'm gla you have a sense of humor, thank you hun. looks like i'm tabletless until i go back into town in two weeks ): i suppose till then i will tinker with it some more and unlock the universe, or find a way to convert zips that are made for windows or mac and be able to convert it to be able to be used and transfered unto the phone. Chromium os or chrome now has ADB for chrome as an extension but very iffy, has 3 options to screen record/screenshot and terminal. i was able to use vitural box for about 2 hours and force odin to pretend i was on a widnows enough to orignally root, then it crashed my chromebook. Maybe i've gotta achieve 88 mph first to get this thing to work? lol my chromebook "overclocked" 810 mghz.... maxx.... frequency says it can go to 2100... i think if i even try that i'd recreate the "hydrogen bomb"
As title. I have just purchased a 2017 Shield TV, and it came rooted with Pie 9.0. Now, I don't really care for that at all. I mostly just use Plex with my devices, and that's why I bought this. Save me turning on my Xbox One X just to watch a movie, ha ha. I don't really want an extra "warning" screen when I boot it up, and would prefer it to simply just work from the remote (I may consider selling on the controller as I have multiple xbox / PS4 / Switch / 8bitdo controllers if required).
Anyway, as it has full Android on there, rather than the original Shield OS, do I loose anything with respect to the Plex app (which is my most used app), or Amazon Prime Video? Are there any other media limitations that I may experience from running a rooted system?
I am relatively happy with flashing firmwares and such (I regularly play about with CFW on my Switches and Vitas). So is there a guide anywhere that will show me how to put this shield back to stock? Rooted or otherwise.
if you want to flash the device back to stock go here
https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload
make sure you read everything about how to do it first and make sure you download the correct rom image for the correct device otherwise you will brick the device.
i have the 2017 16gb model with the developer rom (stock rom with root capability). i rooted mine with magisk but really i don't see any reason to really root it other than adblocking. i use mine mainly for plex and iptv. i do use atv laucher pro. i don't like the stock home screen setup. also i can download just about any app from https://www.apkmirror.com/ put the apk on a usb stick and load it with es file manager or even the stock file manager software.

Thanks for the help. I got there in the end. Had a panic when it refused to boot, and couldn't get into fastboot to try a factory reset, but plugging my keyboard in, rather than the controller, and locking the bootloader helped that.
Now back on stock and got it all set up and running. As expected, Plex is MILES better than on my Xbox One X...
