Flashtool and Firmware from Walton:

Root: http://androidxda.com/root-walton-walpad-8
It says for the 8 but the instructions are the same for the 8b.
Backup of stock rom guide here(different tablet, instructions should be the same):

As far as custom roms, don't think there are any floating around.

[Q] CyanogenMod 7.1 ROM installation help (Xperia X8)

Hello everyone.
I am new to Android and brought my first android device the Xperia X8 a few weeks back, having Android 2.1-Update 1.
From then on, I have been finding custom ROMS for my device, and finally CyanogenMod came up with 7.1.0 (Android 2.3.7), which looks quite nice!
So my question is, since I haven't installed any custom ROM before, can anybody please guide me (step-by-step) on how to install the ROM? I have rooted my phone and installed xRecovery. I have downloaded the ROM package from the CyanogenMod mirror network, for device Shakira.
My main concern is, somewhere I found, that people said to also have a Google Apps archive with the installation, to install Google services. Is this needed and from where can I find this archive?
Therefore, a detailed guide for installing this ROM (whether any additional files are required or not for installation) after the rooting procedure would be highly appreciated..
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply, first of all.
I came across this thread before.
See I know this is the basic procedure, go into xRecovery -> full wipe -> install custom zip from sdcard -> reboot.. This is right, right?
So as I said above, main concern is the Google Apps, for which the package I just found for CyanogenMod 7. How to install that, is there a option in xRecovery to do so?
Thanks.

[Q] Install CM from already rooted phone on 4.4.4

Hello all,
I currently have a Xperia Z2 with this rom installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-envi-rom-stock-beta-t2811710 It's rooted with Android 4.4.4
Now, I want to try Android 5.0 with Cyanogen Mod. But it have a few questions about that.
1) Do I need to unlock my bootloader for this? I'm assuming I do since I install another non-stock version of Android?
2) Is it simply unlocking my phone, and then copying the zip files and then flash them via recovery? Or am I missing something here?
Many thanks!

Did you search? These seem like very very basic questions.
1 - Yes
2 - You also need to wipe data and caches

What is the way to go to install a custom rom ?

hey guys,
So I decided to install a custom rom and as I understand I need to root the phone and install a custom recovery but I don't want to brick my phone.
When I searched for how to do that for the alpha I found several methods like kingroot and ODIN.
I installed G850FXXU1COI1 manually using ODIN.
My question is what is the surest way to root and install a recovery for the alpha (850F model) ?
First of all, what is your galaxy alpha model, and yes, the first step is to install root app like super su, then you can look for custom recovery that is the most essential tool for installing custom rom.

It's the 850F model.
And mentioning the root, does the phone stay rooted even after installing a new rom ?
UP!
150 members saw this thread and not one of them has rooted his phone before ?!!
If I remember correctly:
- First instal twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...overy-openrecovery-twrp-2-8-sm-g850f-t2931017
- root with chainfire autoroot https://download.chainfire.eu/529/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-slte-sltexx-smg850f.zip
- now you can install a custom rom
Good luck

Any Custom ROMs / Stock ROM for Huawei Mediapad T2 7.0 Pro (PLE-701L)?

Hello.
Any Custom ROMs / Stock ROM for Huawei Mediapad T2 7.0 Pro available for download? I need to roll my device back to somewhat clean (fully unrooted) state.
Here's what I did:
- Rooted my device using Kingroot
- Switched to SuperSU
- Deleted Kingroot using SuperSU and tried full unroot
- After full unroot, my device remains "Rooted", according to Root Checker
- Tried flashing some Custom ROMS from TWRP, either failed or stuck on boot
Thank you.
[updated]
found a stock ROM from Russian thread - thank you!

Can anybody tell me how to install custom roms on this device?
I couldn't find anything, nobody seems to have this device and the official updates have been stopped too.
It is still at LOLLIPOP 5.1.
Can anybody help me?
thank you so much
- I use this device too. As far as I know, there are no custom roms for this device (or probably there will never be ones)
- For stock rom, download here https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=category&id=16614
I have tested some of the roms. They work well. Remember that you CANNOT install these roms with any of huawei official methods because of country vendor system or something. For my case, my firmware is locked with Cambodia vendor, so i cannot install the roms directly (e.i middle east country). Solution? 1. unlock your bootloader. 2. download any roms above. 3. extract the zip file then extract system.img, boot.img and recover.img from the update.app. (google it by yourself). Then fastboot the images. (google it by yourself). Done! when i have free time, i will write a step by step guide on this thread

Gionee max stock rom

I have purchased a new phone Gionee Max and I searched in Google for stock rom flashing and I found no rom for my
Device so please give me stock rom for my device
Anyone please reply to the thread
The ROM a device comes with when launched is the Stock ROM.
Can I backup my stock rom without root and pc
To perform a complete backup device's Android 10 must be rooted. More info here
Never have done this. IMHO it's far easier to request a copy of device's Stock ROM from OEM/carrier.

Just a heads up, be careful with flashing the Rom as you said its a new device, it might void your warranty
