Hi I have an Infotmic Wowpad that has been with me for around a year now and I've been wondering how I could update it.To me its a real brick as its so bloody slow and its battery life is bad too.I want to do a major upgrade to this tablet so I could play numerous games,watch movies and videos and other things like Skype.Another problem is that the old Android Market on this supports only like 5 apps for my tab! .Plz can someone help me update this thing with a easy simple way.I dont even know if its rooted or not and I would love to update it to either a fast and less laggy version of Froyo,Gingerbread or ICS.Some important info to know:
1.Model Number-deb
2.Firmware version-2.1-update1
3.Kernel version-2.6.32.9
4.Build number-deb-r2.1.1561
Thats pretty much it and it would be great if someone helped me turn it into a daily device as I have seen many reports on the net that this device can turn out amazing.
Thanx for reading and hopefully i can change this tablet as soon as possible.

here http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/gome-flytouch-ii-firmware/12723-froyo-android-2-2-running-ft2-series-tablets-confirmed.html is how to upgrade your tablet to froyo 2.2
i dont find any gb or ics updates
Btw are Infotmic Wowpads already rooted and should i root it before doing this if it isnt rooted and where do i find 2.1 v3245 coz i dont have that one....

Moving to Q&A
I found site with tutorial:
www.androidtablets.net/forum/gome-f...roid2-1-stable-smooth-fast-unofficial-63.html
But there is link with firmware on megaupload which is closed and i can't find any other site
Sent using r800i with DoomKernel v14 (1.21ghz)
One quick question...is Flytouch2 already rooted,does it need to be rooted with some kind of app?
I can't help u too much with it but i think u don't need root.
As i read from sites (i gave in previous posts): when u start ur device from SD card with rom it should start flashing/copying files so it has installed sth what let u do it and u dont need nothing new (like root)
I can say that on my Xperia i dont need root to flash roms, so its possible that u dont need it too
Sent using r800i with DoomKernel v14 (1.21ghz)
Should i just use the sites XDA have said to use to get android.rar, because androidtablets said if that megaupload didnt work that we should go to XDA's choice of mediafire...another question is this the one i wanted 2.1 v3245?

The link of rom not work

show this error when flash system , FAILED (remote:data is too)
Thanks alot for this i´ve been looking for some time
Help
I am having some trouble installing this rom. Can I please have some more detailed instruction? I can't get past the "flash recovery recovery.img and press enter" stage. Also I am unsure whether or not I've downloaded the correct fastboot drivers. A direct link to the site to download from would be useful. Thank you very much.
Thank you
Thank you Thank you
Iuni u2 32gb
hello
could you please explain more clearly how to proceed to install the kikat rom? thanks
Need help installing.
Can I get some clearer instructions on how to install the Walton Primo Z rom? The instructions found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/stock-vanila-kitkat-rom-iuni-u2-32gb16gb-t3045629 were pretty confusing to me and i'm not sure if I've installed the correct fastboot drivers. More detailed instruction or even a youtube video would be greatly appreciated.
I have the same issue!
It loses the focus as soon as I try to take the picture.
It works fine when I shoot macros and objects flose to the phone but it completely messes up long distance shots.
There is an android 5.0 ROM, Is this ROM can run in iuni u2? It is ROM of allview x1 mini, allview x1 and iuni u2 32gb just like twins.
Is this ROM really???
Using the system update tool inbuilt with this Walton Primo Z rom
Thanks for sharing this rom. Works like a charm on my iuni u2 32 GB. Just need a small favor, the system update inbuilt app that came with this rom does not allow me to update the OS, it throws out an error saying network anomaly, please check network everytime I try to update.
There is also an option to download the update package and run the update through the same tool. Can some one point me to the latest update for this rom??
Many thanks and keep up the great work. This is rom is way better than the IUNI V 3.0 both is function and stability.
ROM flash noob - IUNI u2
Trying to flash this ROM however when entering the flash recovery recovery.img command I get the message " 'flash' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Any advice for what I am doing wrong?
link to thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/stock-vanila-kitkat-rom-iuni-u2-32gb16gb-t3045629
User abihakim in another thread mentioned that this soft improves battery life significantly ("With help of Greenify&Amplify battery is superb!") - can users of this ROM confirm that?
Also, did any of you manage to get this ROM work on 32GB version of U2 ?
Iuni u2 rom site
Sorry for posting here but being a new member i cant post somewhere more suitable.
Since many of iuni u2 users are searching for alternative roms for the device, i am posting a site i have found with many options to experiment with.
Just google "romzj iuni u2" and use google translate, i am currently using the latest miui rom posted(15 days ago) with 4.4 gapps, and it works really great, smooth, gps locks quickly, decent battery life. The only downside is the camera quality which is worse than the stock rom's, but i am ok with that.

The method described in this video works with any rom: youtube.com /watch?v=FhxhSq4UgRs
You can find the latest kitkat miui rom to download here en.miui.com /download-290.html
If you want nearly stock android experience , there is one posted here androidiani.com /forum/tutti-gli-altri-smartphone/472647-rom-per-iuni-u2-fix-fotocamera-e-gps.html#post6954828
I used google translate as i am not italian either, but i know that this rom will keep the 32gb storage and 3gb ram since i've used it. The best think about it is the preloaded google apps , i haven't seen the message: Google play services have stopped(ok the play store crashes once a month). Also it uses hola launcher as default, but i switched to nova prime.

hey guys,
just wanted to tell you that at the miui forums there is already a cyanogenmod 12.1 ported for the redmi 3. its a zip to load via TWRP and only for unlocked bootloader.
its the 4th version and it's pretty much stable. been using the rom as a daily driver for 5 days now and everything worked so far. i havent tested every function but camera, gps, wifi, 4g data, bluetooth, etc works super fine. only thing is that battery life is superior on original miui rom. anyone interested in getting rid of miui check out the link.
http://en.miui.com/thread-249717-1-1.html
p.s. wipe phone first before installing CM.
p.p.s. don't forget 64bit gapps if you need it!

Great news!
How bad is the batterylife and is the pictures taken with the camera as good as with miui?
I dirty flashed this 4th version over the 3rd one. No need to flash gapps if you dirty flash from previous version.
There are 5 chinese apps, I froze them with titanium.
No issues so far. Been using the 3rd version about a week now.
So how is the battery life?
battery life with the 4th version is pretty much on par with miui now.
this cm comes with root (toggle in developer options) so i just uninstalled the 6 Chinese apps with system app remover.
What about camera quality, focus speed and HDR? Are those on par with MIUI?
Chinese user here! I flashed this ported CM 12.1 this morning. I also found the annoying existence of Baidu and 360 apps preinstalled in this rom. Because im not sure how xposed works with this ported CM 12.1, so i flashed back to MIUI 6.3.25 for there's a relatively stable xposed support
Using it for over 2 days now and I am impressed.
Its very stable and fully operational.
Apart from chineese apps pre-installed, theres not even one fault with it.
Battery and camera just fine, as on original MIUI.
Beauty and simplicity of CM was just what I needed for my Redmi3.
Cheers.
Does someone know if this will work on redmi 3 PRO?

Most likely, it wont. Even though phones have exactly same specs, you might find that there could be some differences in things like sensors, camera etc.
So yeah, it might boot, but you most likely will be annoyed by multiple things not working (including fingerprint sensor)
there are a few versions on the miui chinese forums (which I can read and translate), anyway what I've read is that 1 of the CM12.1 ROMs come with trojan horse (but scanned via a chinese security app 360 antivirus) - http://www.miui.com/thread-3980415-1-1.html (the user said she was on CM12.1 4th version)
Please do try a scan with your antivirus (on Android, I use Sophos) of choice just to be safe. I would do it but I'm still waiting for my bootloader to be unlocked.
What I've heard on the forum linked above is that development from cofface is trustworthy, hence I searched and indeed there is a CM12.1 ROM that was just uploaded. (http://www.miui.com/thread-3986022-1-1.html) It does not appear to come with any Chinese apps like the 4th version listed above. Maybe it's worth a try? (I'm not sure)
All CM12.1 versions:
http://www.miui.com/thread-3985299-1-1.html ROM dated 3/30, modded by Liberation, original by Flour_Mo (comes with Chinese apps)
http://www.miui.com/thread-3986022-6-1.html by Cofface (doesn't seem to have any bloatware)
http://www.miui.com/thread-3968326-1-1.html 4th version by Flour_Mo
CM 13 is also in the works but will take some time to become stable..
**apparently there is a buggy LED notification in all CM 12.1 builds

Hey, thanks for keeping us posted. I would like to install this cofface rom, but I cant get through chinese websites. Could you please give me a link, or upload it for me?
Much obliged.
can someone please share a link but not to chiniese site where to download i have to sign in with my phone number ?
How does performance looks compared to MIUI ? Do phone/contact/camera/messege apps launch faster or slower compared to MIUI ? How much free RAM is available after reboot ?

Thank you very much for clearing this up! I knew that there was something dodgy going on with those Roms!!! All the crap they are saying about "how we should use those apps and support devs" did sound like pile of sh*t to me. Someone from here really should post some screenshots of AV scans there and expose those bastards. It's really annoying that someone is even trying to do that...

When I was trying cm builds, the performance was actually really good. But somehow I started to like miui about free RAM, there was around 1.2 gigs available, I think. That decreases to 1 gig after you install gapps.

Go to miui forums and people usually re-post Roms to some other *drive website like gdrive again, I do not recommend using any of those scammy Roms until it is clarified that Roms are actually clean and legit

i think some of the developers there are legit (like the rooted ROM on this forum by greatslon and TWRP recovery by cofface http://www.miui.com/thread-3917207-1-1.html), not to worry, I believe it might even be false positives, since the AV scan is from a Chinese AV app (360 security) so... there is a chance its reporting false positives. Just have to see the response from those who have already flashed the ROMs. As for links to download, alright, will try to re-upload those ROMs or post the link to download here. Its actually pretty safe to register your phone number because its linked to the MIUI servers (the Chinese like to use phone numbers as a way to access many features, such as Airport WIFI etc)
To those wondering how to see the download links - its like the english version of the MIUI forums. you will have to set up a forum account, then comment once to gain "experience" and then the download link is revealed.
Hello guys, unfortunately I can't move my apps to the SD card. I have a UHS class 10 64Gb SD Card.
It says that I don't have enough space, while I have a lot, like 57Gb free.
Is anyone having the same problem, if not, how can I solve it anyway?

Sorry, I probably should have explained more what I meant.
cofface is a legit dev, who seems to be doing a great job for out little community.
But other devs, who do stuff like pre-installing some weird apps... I honestly cannot think of any excuses of why they are doing that, apart from spying/collecting your address books/etc.
So yeah, the only rom to try is cofface's at this moment. But then again, I can't seem to find any download link in that Chinese thread.
Anywho, I'm looking forward seeing cm13 on our phones, which is pretty exciting. And hopefully Android N in a near future ^^

I've posted the ROM in the xda forum and uploaded the ROM on google drive and MEGA. here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/development/rom-cm12-1-redmi-3-t3348916
the forum functions like the english miui forums where you have to create an account (your english miui account will do fine) and comment before you can see the download link! and the pre-installed apps are the chinese alternatives to the google apps that they don't have access to. If I'm not wrong.

You can't update the browser unless you root the device. If you just root it, the OS is so old you may not find a browser that will run on it. You really need to update the OS with a new ROM.
This is the 8gb model, right? Reports are that the limited RAM makes anything past KitKat (CM 11) problematic. I have posted some older ROMs :https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-tablet/general/cm-10-11-nook-8-gb-tablet-t3570821
I'd recommend a pico GApps package from opengapps.org for the CM 11 ROMs. There is a GApps package I included with one of the ROMs which was posted along with it originally, but I think it would be better not to overload the system. A pico package will basicallyy get you PlayStore access and nothing else (not even Gmail). Then you can add whatever you want (and not have what you don't want busy in the background).
If you want to try for Lollipop (CM 12.1), I have the file. Let me know.
Thank you! I was mistaken; the model is BNTV250...which, I gather, is the 16G.
I've researched rooting, and it appears that an SD card is usually required. There is little - meaning no - money to spend here, so I've also looked into other methods...such as kingroot. I'm a risk-taker, but I know so little about all of this.
"I have posted some older ROMs (see general section above this one) and you could try one of those. I'd recommend a pico GApps package from opengapps. If you want to try for Lollipop (CM 12.1), I have the file. Let me know." Beg pardon?
Please forgive the delays in my responses - I can only access this site while on a laptop.

OK. The 16 gb is much better in terms of what's available and up-to-date. I have one and am using the AOSP 7.0 ROM (instructions for installation here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-tablet/general/how-to-installing-aosp-android-7-0-t3578665).
Don't be fixated on root. It is not going to solve your issues with updating the browser because the B&N Android version underneath all their stuff is 2.3. Current Android OS is 7.1 so......... You can see that finding a browser (or other apps) for the older system is not going to be easy and the results will be less than thrilling.
The safest way is flashing a ROM using an SD card (rooting is generally part of the package). I'd be very careful about kingroot. It may or may not work, but in any case you'd still be stuck on Android 2.3.
Maybe you can borrow an SD card?
Edit: but maybe you do just want to root and see if you can find a browser that will be better. In that case there is a simple guide somewhere in this forum, but it does require the use of an SD card

Hello all...I'm a fellow victim of the OTA updates screwing us debloaters currently stuck in a boot-loop. I'm trying to recover my the past several years text notes containing all the medical details for my son's illness. Details on that can be found on my earlier post.
As a last ditch effort, I'm going to try flashing the factory firmware in hopes that I'll be able to snag them and then flash the latest firmware. My device is not rooted.
However, it's been many many years since I've done this and I've spent the day reading everything I could to ensure I don't screw this up and I have a few questions. The phone is under warranty and I really don't want to trip Knox.
First...I'm having trouble finding the correct firmware (I think? Yay AT&T!). Unfortunately, since I'm boot looping, I can't load the app to pull all the phone details now. But, when I pulled the phone details a little over a week ago trying to solve another issue, I made a note of what appears to be the baseband version: G991USQU5CVCC.
The only info I can find on it on AT&T's website, here: https://www.att.com/device-support/article/wireless/KM1428542/Samsung/SamsungSMG998U
I'm unable to find a download for it though. AT&T isn't available via Frija or Samloader.
However, if all my ADD-riddled reading today is correct, I should be able to get away with flashing one for the 1U1 version, right?
If not, anyone know where I can find the firmware that would work for the 1U version/G991USQU5CVCC?
If so, my thoughts are that my best chance of being able to it to stop looping long enough would be to flash the last-known-good version as opposed to the latest...this is doable, right? If that's correct, this is the one I've grabbed: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s21/firmware/SM-G991U1/ATT/download/G991U1UEU5CVGB/1666245/
Also, regarding flashing...I'm reading it can be done via ADB sideload or cracked Odin...is one better/safer than the other?
Any other thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated too.
Thanks!
Hmmmm....so I just noticed in Android Recovery, it posts a build number. I'm showing RP1A.200720.012, which appears to be for the S20?!
The full build number is RP1A.200720.012.G991USQU5CVCC...which, apparently doesn't exist in Google.

try finding firmware for your device here.
Be careful because you must select Bit/SW REV same as one on your phone, you can't downgrade it.
If you have latest firmware (A12) then your Bit/SW REV is 5

It's not S20, it's S21. If you are not sure, you can even search firmware with your IMEI or SN on post above this

Yup, I just had to figure out how it all worked...I was super-worried because I couldn't find 1U firmware for AT&T.
Buuut, guess what?!?!
Holy crap!! I got in!!!
I downloaded a newer version after flashing the current one didn't resolve it...just because...why not at this point?
It flashed successfully, did the same thing after initial reboot through...starts loading lock screen, flashing on/off randomly and reboot.
This time, however, it loaded into something different than the standard recovery menu. I don't remember the name, but, there was only 4 options.
Try Again
Delete App Data
View Logs
Shut Down
I decided to try the Delete App Data option as the data I was trying to get was in the download folder...not specifically part of an app...and it rebooted into Safe Mode without the glitch!! Previously, the glitch still happened in Safe Mode.
It went into what appeared to be a factory reset phone with the Get Started thing, connect to WiFi, permissions, restore data, etc. I skipped all that though, figuring it actually factory reset the phone and that I had officially lost this battle and would have to rebuild all my notes (something I had come to accept would probably be the case in this situation).
But! Once I went through that and got the main Safe Mode screen, I connected it back up to the laptop and EVERYTHING IS THERE!!!!!
I'm copying off now as I type this.
Thanks to you and iBowToAndroid for all your help with this...you guys saved me days/weeks of time to pull all the records and recreate my notes. Unsure how to tag iBowToAndroid on here...but, he helped me understanding the firmware/carrier stuff via DM.
