Hello everyone,
I have a rooted Intel TM785CH, manufactured by Apex & TMAX Digital. It is currently running Android 4.4.2. The manufacturer's auto updater simply does not work. It is up in the air whether or not they actually have an update, but their website and manuals give me no results. I have images attached of the poorly made updater app and device info. It always says "Update Failed - Check Connection," meanwhile you can clearly see that I have Wi-Fi connection. Anyways, I was wondering if it is possible to get Android Lollipop, or at least 4.4.4, on this device. I can not find any information on the internet about this particular device. As stated before, this device is rooted (if that helps). Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello, I'm BloodDrunk, and newly registered user on this forum. Came here in hopes you can help me.
Ok so, I posses 2 android devices (one kindle, other samsung phone), and I need both of them rooted.
My first device is: Samsung Galaxy Core LTE SM-G386F. It has an android version which is: 4.2.2, and Kernel version which is: 3.4.5-2703877.
I have tried various tools to root my phone, but with NO sucess whatsoever. Every tool threw something like: The rooting was unsucessful.
If you could aid me in trying to root my phone, I'd be very grateful.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second device is Kindle Fire tablet. It's serial number is D01E 0A0A 2235 00B9, and currently running version 6.3.4_user_4120720.
What I want to do to this device is, root it (which I am also unable to do whatsoever), and wipe it completely out, and load an Android ROM KitKat 4.4.2 onto it. I also tried various tutorials on the internet, and none have helped me in achieving my goal. I do not have original cable that comes with this tablet. I have already downloaded KitKat 4.4.2. android ROM, and Kindle Fire Utility, but I am simply unable to do anything with that utility since it gets stuck on that waiting for device thing.
I am really eager to root my first device, and second, and load android ROM onto that tablet because I need an android tablet.
Could you guys help me out?
Thank you for your time.
Hi everyone,
A couple of days I posted in XDA Assist and was asked to seek help here. Therefore, I'm posting my original post here, along with some updates at the end.
Original Post:
#####################
I've got a reasonably unknown Tablet PC.. Here are the specs and miscellaneous information;
Name: Ainol Numy 3G P97
Internal Memory: 16GB
RAM: 1GB
GPU: Mali-400 MP
SoC: MediaTek MT8382 ARM Cortex A7 @ 1.3Ghz (Quad Core)
OS: Android Jellybean 4.2.2 (I'm pretty sure it's a Custom ROM)
Kernel Version: 3.4.5
Build Number: Numy_3G_P97_V1_2014090215
Custom Build Version: 1.19_20140822
Root Access: No (I never tried to root the device, never had a reason to do so)
I've been searching around for ways to upgrade the OS from Jellybean to Lollipop or higher. I've searched extensively within XDA Developers' various forums, but there doesn't seem to be any post in relation with my device.
I took to the internet and found some websites offering Flash Tools, Firmware (nothing above KitKat, or so it seems) and Android Studio. I've tried (in vain) to go through some tutorials on YouTube, but haven't come across anyone who's done anything with this particular device.
However, I have a rough idea rattling around in my head of what needs to be done, but I just need guidance from the Developers here to tell me how to get about doing it.
I have the following software downloaded;
1. MediaTek USB Drivers and Flash tools
2. SP Flash Tool v5.1620
3. Official Android Jellybean 4.2.2 System Image for the device
4. Android Lollipop 5.0 System Image (the site I downloaded it from says the Firmware is for a different tablet pc, but with the same specs as my device)
5. Android Studio (latest version, direct download from Google) - I read in some sites that Android Studio would help a lot to install a Custom ROM into any Android device, hence the download.
I'd greatly appreciate anyone helping me out in this endeavor. I'd like to install Lollipop (at least) on my Tablet PC, in order to gain some functionality as well as improved performance (hopefully!), as the current Jellybean OS is terribly laggy. I've seen other Tablet PC's with lesser specs running Lollipop smoothly, so I'm hopeful that there might be a silver lining to an otherwise very dark and sinister looking thunderstorm.

Updates:
While waiting, I've tried a few things. I downloaded the following;
1. Android SDK Tools with Platform Tools
2. Android Lollipop system images x 2 (.img file format) (similar specs to my Tablet PC)
3. Android Lollipop system image x 1 (.zip file format) (similar specs to my Tablet PC)
4. Android KitKat system image x 1 (supposedly the original and official KitKat OS for my Tablet PC)
5. Kingo Root app (Windows version)
Here's what I tried:
I tried using ADB to sideload a Lollipop system image (.zip file format) through a custom recovery already installed on my Tablet PC. Each time I tried, the installation would just stop with "Installation aborted". No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to work.
Next, I tried to "update" the current OS (Jellybean 4.2.2) to KitKat using the "official update" I found on the net, for my Tablet PC. I used SP Flash Tools to try and load the file, but that didn't pan out, as there was something corrupted in the Scatter file. Each time I tried to load the Scatter file, I'd get the error message that it was corrupted. Didn't know what else to do.
Following that, I read some articles where rooting the device in question was suggested, so I searched around for a bit, found the Kingo Root app, used it and rooted my device. Then, I tried using ADB again, this time using a more traditional method of custom ROM installation. But once I got to the Fastboot commands, I couldn't get any further. My device did boot up in Fastboot mode, but I got lost after that.
As of yet, my device is still running Jellybean 4.2.2. I've refurbished it by doing a master reset, but I'd really like to get Lollipop in, if it's possible. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Serious help needed please!
I really need help, people, on this issue! Isn't there some kind soul who will respond??
I have tablet Teclast X10 Plus ((F2D6) Intel Z8300 Cherry Trail CPU. Android 5.1 only. Unable to find any information on how to root this device. Assistance will be appreciated. Thanking you.
Same here, no info from the company. Worse, we are theoretically supposed to be able to install Windows 10, but Teclast does not give any drivers for that. With only 2go of RAM, I don't care that much about Win 10, but not being able to root is frustrating. I've tried fastboot OEM unlock on the device, it said it worked, but it actually didn't
There's no OEM information for stock firmware flashing?
If you go there : teclast.com/en/firmware/ and type: f2d6 , then you have the only thing that they gave us, it's an Intel flash tool with the current firmware and android 5.1. I guess that there is something in there we could start with, but I'm not an expert. Other than that, the company give no support whatsoever and doesn't answer emails.
As for other information: I've tried to root with KingoRoot, it shows successful, my device rebooted, but seems to hang after the second boot stage, unable to load the O.S. anymore. I had to re-flash the device to fix it.
Somebody found a way to root: hispatablets.com/tablets-teclast/root-teclast-x10-plus-solucionado-t8419.html
I’ve never been that happy to know more than one language
If you need help with the instructions (in Spanish), just ask. I’ve tried and it’s working, my x10 plus is now rooted.
Still, the procedure is a bit clunky and I’m sure we can optimize the process (and fixed the reboot needed problem after the --daemon).
This is a good step and it seems like with this and the package given by Teclast we have enough information to do a lot of things… Still, there is work to do…
how i can get dualboot? I need windows 10 / android version but unfortunatelly i bought android only
Found a review saying this tablet has 'upside down' problem. Basically, it displays some apps upside down and there's no way to fix it.
Do you experience that too?
Flyagaric : It's not impossible, but it is super easy to fix (for those with this bug), you just choose one particular position (I suggest landscape), you go in options and lock the rotation. Every apps will properly open in the current position.
I recently picked up a the F-05e but it has ICS on it. I see that there is JB and downloaded the update but can't figure out what it should be named or where to put it for the built-in firmware update (power button + volume up) to see it and apply it. The file is called UpdatePackageFile.dat and I put it in the root of the SDCard but it says it can't be found. I can't read Japanese and the translate options don't appear to be helping me too much. I am using this page:
http://spf.fmworld.net/fujitsu/c/update/nttdocomo/f-05e/update2/top/index.html#heading02
If I try to follow the instructions on the above page, the tablet tells me "Software update is necessary for the Android system upgrade. Launch this application again after the update is done." When I try to do the software update, I get an error that says I must be connected to the Docomo network for it to work. "When docomo network is not available, or during roaming, software update is not available even if Wi-Fi is connected." It might be that the tablet can't be updated but it is worth a shot. If nothing else, the tablet can run a good percentage of Android software (Netflix, ereaders, not too heavy games, etc).
Any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone,
a friend of mine gave me this android tv box he doesn't use anymore. It currently runs Android 7, but I want to update it to a newer firmware that can run Android TV instead. The problem is I can't find a proper one, I've already tried to flash some firmwares I found, but the recovery gives me the error "the package is for ampere devices; this is x96w" and it aborts.
I uploaded the tv box photos and CPU-Z informations here: imgur.com/a/8skPAZS (sorry, can't post links yet) Also the strange thing is that the label at the back doesn't correspond to the actual hardware specifications listed on CPU-Z.
Can you help me? Thanks!
