Hi
Was hoping to get some guidance from anyone who has successfully upgraded the Android version on their Samsung GT-P5110. My daughter needs to install educational software that requires Android 5 or above (due to COVID/Home Schooling). Id love to buy a new tablet but Ive lost my job so hoping to get this old tablet working. Has anyone succesfully upgraded this model? Any help with instructions and links to correct versions of Odin, TWRP and OS Image would be most appreciated. Ive got some tips from this thread but not sure where to get the correct file versions..

im not getting any reply in the correct thread so it looks like i have to create a new one!
im looking for some PRO USER advice here for an android n00b
on my tab it says current version : PDA:JJ3 / PHONE:JID / CSC:JJ3
but there is an upgrade via kies to : PDA:JJ7 / PHONE:JK5 / CSC:JJ5
can i still root after upgrade?
i have been reading the forum for a few days now and think i can still root via SuperOneClick?, but want to make sure before doing it as all the numbers are a little confusing to a new android user
(P.S. im a 10 year experienced NOKIA modder that has finally gave up on their crap firmwares and getting pretty excited about android!)
any sensible help is greatly appreciated
give it a try, after i upgraded to jm4(asian fw), still can apply root via SuperOneClick, but not z4root tho.
I could not root using either method. Can't remember which ROM version that was. That's what made me try to root the Tab manually. That worked always for any ROM version I have tried (JM6, JMD, JME, JMF). See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859712
i updated to JJ7 and z4root still worked for me!
Congratulation

Yes, you will be able to root. I did this upgrade via Kies on my UK Carphone Warehouse supplied Tab and afterwards was able to root successfully with SuperOneClick. Just a word of warning, if you are tempted to flash your Tab with Odin or Hemidal to any of the JM series ROMs, read the warnings about the new protected bootloaders before you do the flash.
Enjoy your Tab!!
So my tablet the SM-T280 has a NOOK version, but all the specifications are matching properly. The NOOK edition, called the SM-T280-NOOK has been upgraded to Marshmallow though, where as the non-NOOK edition only stops at 5.1.1, and I would like to attempt to swap the firmware out for an updated version of Android. I'm reaching out for help finding it as my Google-Fu may not be mastered enough because I was having difficulties and thought this would be the right place with the right people to ask. If you can assist me in finding it, it would be deeply appreciated, and probably from more than just me. Thanks for your time.

I think that is just a fallacy. I realise that some sources on the Web report it has, but I feel this information is incorrect.
I have attempted to find such firmware and it doesn't exist and neither can you purchase a nook with this firmware.
It even states on the software update page the last update was only a security update.

Thank you kindly @ashyx that was the fear lol Just going to go ahead and look into buying a new device that has more development here, probably would work out better in the long run
Hi. I've never really liked the Android version in my Lenovo but I am now facing an annoying issue with Play Store downloads getting stuck and delayed and going to have to reinstall.
At this point I am ready for a root and changing the ROM but I am rather lost in what android distribution are working and tested at the moment as after reading for a while there are some which are only for the Win version. I also see some references to X90L on threads about rooting and installing twrp but I am assumming these would work the same on my F version.
So the question is, what updated current ROMs are working fine and are worth (better than the official one) after root and TWRP on the Android version?
Also, once unlocked and changed bootloader, where can you get the official ones again?
Thanks for any help.

You don't need it if you flash YB via Intel Flash Tool with oryginal rom.
Hallo everybody.
I have a tab s3 with Android 9, firmware T825XXU3CTA1, and I hate it, too slow.
I would like to downgrade it to Android 8 or, if possible, even better to 7.
I boughy it via Amazon Italy
Which firmware should I download and, if I may, where can I?
I wouldn't like to root, but if needed I can do it.
See enclosed for more details.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Just complete Steps 1-3 from my guide at:
Newbie-friendly: TWRP and Root for Samsung S3 Tablet
Tested SM-T820, for Android O. It is reported that it works for Android P as well, with small modification (see below). This post is designed to gather information found across this forum to give a step-by-step guide for obtaining a custom...

(Note, I haven't recently downloaded the firmware, and the hosts for such things change frequently.)
hey there,
just a quick recap:
The phone is still on Android 7.1.1, I"ve got a script with ADB from 7to Forum through 4pda.to, got the custom TWRP working, but after getting root through flashing magisk, it got stuck on boot. After I got the official 7.1.1 zip, it is back on official recovery and I gave up... (Link to 4pda, which I got my inital files from - it is a link to google translate, so you could read, what it is all about
The forum here on xda-developers for Nokia 5 is really messed up and there is no real guide or any help which could help me out, I don"t know any valid source of official ROMs, there are no tools - nothing.
I planned to get on Android 9 with ROOT through MAGISK, so I"ve got a unlocked bootloader and wanted just update to Android 9, so I could install MAGISK through TWRP.
but none of that worked, I got only the unlocked Bootloader....
maybe someone could please help, I just don"t know where to start now - I have some knowledge about Android, because every single smartphone of mine got rooted (HTC EVO 3D, SAMSUNG S5, HTC MI8), as I love AdAway and Viper4Android, but this phone for a family member got me started..... This phone is brand new, never used, got it from the grandmother of my girlfriend, wanted to get it to work and give it to someone else in need of a smartphone, but I got stuck...
Thanks it advance
I've managed to update it to pie, with some obscure errors, but it works flawlessly, but I'm on 6.12 now, want to update it to 6.19, but it doesn't work through the recovery, but I'm on it.
Maybe I will write a little tutorial after all, for someone, who has also those problems like me - it is getting harder and harder to get things done on older devices...
