[Q] How to find which ROM can be flashed on my tablet? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As previously posted in this topic on XDA I mention that I have a generic tablet (don't exactly know which one).
Reason I'm posting here is that I would like to know from which information I can decide whether a ROM is compatible with my device?
PS: Currently trying out all several combinations to boot into recovery mode, already managed to get root.
Thanks everyone

Bump, I thought I would get more response here on XDA.

hey man, go and find your own device on the xda forum, its easy~~

[Q] Sharp SH-12C Custom Roms?

Hello XDA,
I am currently debating on buying the SH-12C for my gf. One of the major things holding me back from buying it would be lack of custom roms, root-ability, and support.
Does anyone know of any forums or websites that provide these services?
I searched XDA and Googled "SH-12C custom roms" but I had no luck.
Thanks,

as you maybe know there was an update for the sh-12c and we already have that firmware-files in this forum !
the only bad thing is , its coded in .enc format and i posted a way how it could probably work to unpack/decode the files >>here<<.
so if this contains a whole firmware ,maybe we would be able to make lots of modifications,custom roms and the most important thing ...ROOT!!!
but it seems there are not much people here who want to do the first step or something for their "root"
iam tryin things on and on , every day ,,,my skills are also limited ..hmm
some ppl from asian forums will solve that first i think ...

Some questions before acting.

Hello. I joined today to the happy(?) owners of Archos 101 G9 turbo group. After purchase I instantly searched XDA for the device, and found this section. My device is running newest 4.0.7 update. Some questions came to my mind after reading tutorials here. I listed them here, and hope someone can help me by answering them.
1. There is a nice tutorial for rooting and installing sde. Are they still working with this 4.0.7 update?
2. How does the downgrading work? Is it just by using older root image?
3. In multiboot menu section i noticed that someone had it working with 4.0.7, but newest version was 4.0.6. Is there a link i missed?
It was the zimage version 4.0.6.
4. There is a rom which has more 3g modems working. Does it work with multiboot, or will it overwrite the "main" rom?
No. I only added required files to custom rom.
And lastly,
5. There is a way to make ubuntu working. Multiboot menu didn't support flashing kernel, so does it require kernel change before using?
Yes. I had to use kernel which supported ubuntu.
I apologise if these are stupid questions, but I rather ask than brick. I hope you understand
Edit: answered some of my questions.

1. Yes, it works fine, download the rooted 4.0.7 firmware and flash it after enabling SDE.
2. Why would you want to downgrade?

[Q] Can I download and use roms straight from rom manager without any problems.

Hi guys,this is my first time posting and I'm excited to be part of the "family".
I wanted to know if I can use Roms straight from Rom manager without it causing me any problems, are certain Roms only for certain phones or does it not matter.
Also, when I want to switch between Roms, how do I go about that.
Sorry in advance if there is already a forum that discusses this, please put up a link if there is.
THANKS.

The best thing is to go to the "Android Development" forum of the Atrix 4G and there you will find hundreds of different roms. The best thing is to unlock your bootloader and then flash a recovery, cmw(rom manager) is just one option.
Once you find the rom you want, download and put it in your sd card, enter the recovery menu and flash it from there.
There is a post with the instructions of those methods
Thanks a lot I will go check it out.

[Q] Help rooting and getting CWM

Hey guys it's been a while since my last visit to the Infuse section.
I am trying to get the Infuse fully functional again to give it my nephew as his first phone
I've already fixed the "no sound" issue but the problem I'm having is that most of the links I'm finding here in XDA for rooting, or getting CWM or stock kernel with CWM etc are dead.
Anyone has a working CWM for stock ROM, or root file with the links working? Hopefully there's still some ODIN CWM available somewhere around here.
In the meantime I will keep searching for working links. Thanks mates!
Sorry I just realized I posted this on the wrong section. Please delete this thread.
