Had my phone for a few months now and at the moment its rooted and ive installed a few roms on it. At the moment ive using Omega Rom which i do like apart from a few issues. Camera always asks me to install SD card.... even though its in. Anyway, not bothered with that for now.
Got 2 options at the moment.
1 - Unroot and install stock Samsung Firmware. I want to do this as there are 2 apps that dont work with a rooted phone which id like to use. Samsung Video App and NowTV. Id like the samsung app to work as when i 1st purchased my phone i had free credit to spend on it and i purchased a few films on there which ive never got round to watching. As for NowTV and possibly SkyGo, i need my phone rooted for these to work,
2 - Stick with a rooted phone and custom firmware. Im keeping an eye out for the new JellyBam v6 which hopefully is released this weekend.
Ideally id like to have the Jellybam rom installed with my phone unrooted. Would this be possible??
SuperUser app -> remove root
jellybam v6.7.0 Samsung GT-I9300
hi guys, it's my first post so i hope i'm in the right place.. just flashed jellybam v6.7.0 onto my phone and it's amazing, so smooth and quick compared to stock android jellybean.. however, i've got a constant message in my notification bar that says "blank SD card" and it won't let me mount SD, it keeps forcing me to format but i don't want to lose all my data. i've tried the card in my computer and it's definitely not corrupted, and all the data is still there. has anyone got any ideas what the problem is or how i can fix it?
many thanks in advance,
cheers

you're not in the right place, this is someone else's post. you should have posted in the Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting under a new thread. if your sd card works in you PC, transfer all your stuff over and format it, then try it!
Hey devs I purchased a car tab from China and I have borderline bricked it. I bought the Erisin ES7835US (ES7835A I believe) which has android 4.04 installed. I hit the reset button and I believe I've erased the additional firmware included. I am able to boot, but it asks me to calibrate and start setting up the tablet as if its my first time using it.
I then notice quickly that I cannot install any apps from Google play, it tells me I don't have enough space. Funny thing is when I go to settings/storage my internal SD card shows all green (full) even though I haven't installed any apps.
My internal SD card is recognized by my computer and I can add and take stuff off of it. Its like android is not reading any space to install apps.
It has ANDROID SYSTEM RECOVERY <3e> and I don't see cwm or twrp available for my device.
Is there anything I can do? Repartition my card? Flash a custom recovery? Please help!! I'm taking all responses and suggestions and I'm very computer savvy, I flash pacman ROM 4.3 for my note 2 daily. Please don't be afraid to reach out and help me...I WILL donate $10 via Paypal to whoever helps me with this.

You ever get this figured out? I posted links (search my screen name) to multiple Erisin ROM's, now I'm just hoping to find a Dev (preferebly in the Seattle area) who can help me install the 7835 software onto my 7035, or at least root it and help me make it somewhat faster, less buggy, etc.
Bump since you're still an active user on this forum. I've posted links on the end of this thread of the firmware you needed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119778
Hi, I was reading through all the forums about the insufficient storage issue when downloading something, now here is my question, I want to download fifa 14 (1.3gb) and the l9 storage space is 1.80gb, that means I couldnt download this app even if my phone was completely stock? I dont want to root the phone, is there any solution to this?
Maybe this is what you're looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496459
I never used it, but I think if you had the apk in the linked downloads folder, you could install it.
I bought a TCL S720T from China about two weeks ago. It has 4.2.2 with 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM and is based on MT6592. When I first got the phone, the internal storage was displayed as about 5.9GB out of which most (about 5.85GB) was available. I would like to mention here that when I connected my phone to the PC thru a USB cable, the total internal storage was also shown as 5.9GB on PC.
I did the following to the phone and now I am in trouble... plz help
As I bought it from China, it did not have Google apps. I rooted the phone to get these installed. During rooting I deleted some useful original apps.
I tried to restore the phone to factory settings but the deleted apps did not return (I do not know what did I do wrong). I started to search for phone's stock ROM but could not find it. Also all information on the web is in Chinese and that too no accessible from where I live.
After a couple of days, I found a ROM on "lewaos" website. It was translated from Chinese to "S720T Le Frog bottom package. Zip" and the website claimed that it was the original ROM. I thought that it is the actual ROM by TCL so I flashed it using SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1343.01. When the system rebooted, the radio was not working as the baseband was missing, however, the total internal storage was shown as about 4.90GB. I just want to mention here that I never backed up my original ROM (bad on my part).
There was another ROM update given on the same website for installation using external SD card. So, I installed the ROM, but this time the total internal storage wasshown as 1.09GB out of which 1GB was available. I got worried and tried to find other ROMs to fix the issue. I found some ROMs from website named "needrom" and tried them too. Whenever I use flash tool to load the ROM which I got from LEWA website, the phone shows 4.9GB internal storage but the phone radio does not work. However, as soon as I install any ROM using SD card, the internal storage is shown close to 1.1GB. I have even downloaded the official ROM update from "tclmobile" website and installed it using SD card, but the internal storage is still shown as 1.1GB. Also, whenever I connect my phone to PC thru the USB cable, the total internal storage is shown as 1.1GB out of which about 1GB is free.
While installing ROM thru SD card, I have always adopted the process of wiping the factory settings and cache in the recovery mode.
I would also like to mention here that during the process of loading ROMs, I lost the radio operation due to invalid IMEI, which I later restored using AT+... commands (thanks to xda-developer forums).
Having said all that let me summarize my problems:-
I have lost the original Stock ROM of my phone and no support is available outside China.
Whenever I install ROMs through SD card, the internal storage is 1.1GB, I want my actual internal storage ie 5.9GB back.
Please help me to fix my phone
Thanks
Maybe we can help each other i have a backup may work for you...
Hey what up dude,
I have exact phone, and similar issue. no backup, but I have a horrible boot loop for one MONTH now, I am going crazy, even the guys at china-devices.com are not much help. (But may help your problem).
I can't backup but i can access stock recovery and NEED to install CWM recovery via SD as the bootloop just blocks all attempts to connect the phone to the PC. I cant see my phone data but i know i have your ROM and model, using TCL factoryware. Octo the whole nine yards.
Another long time friend has a TCL S720T and he sent me a zip of a ROM backup he made. I can pass it to you via wetransfer or email attachment.
Note that his backup is UN-rooted so it should work OK, and be 'pure' maybe some factory crapware he wiped off it. and you will likely need to fix the IMEI issue, (or maybe not, and I am a newb so can't help you there, yet).
In return, could you tell me how you fixed your issue, what exact tools you used, and so on? Sepecially if used MTK driod tools what version and SP flashtools what version any and all info will be great thanks.
There is an app you can istall that shows you which apk are system apps and not to touch, i had it installed, but i am lord of the idiots, and went ahead and deleted the chinese keyboard, hey presto, one really great phone I had almost totally customised my way, now in a month-long boot loop and may never recover.
Wow. It was amazing to hear that someone else also has this phone but was sad to know that you are also facing problems. Please contact me on [email protected]. I will first try to resolve your issues then will post those solutions on xda.
By the way, I have resolved all my issues and my phone is up and running like anything. Thanks to android lovers all over the world. I will try to give you solutions one by one.
SOLVED! & Thanks Muiz!
SOLVED with this tutuorial... all credit to the OP, Muiz, I'm only passing it forward, this is a GREAT phone, hope to see more users soon!
If we address your first problem of not being able to boot the phone at all, I will propose to go to this link (use any English translator if you do not read Chinese) ... you may use www.micrsofttranslator.com
http://bbs.lewaos.com/learn-s720t.html
You will find these steps in a tutorial.
1, download the ROM and put it into the SD card root directory (on computer operation)
Download LeWa_TCL_S720T_JB2_ROM__XXXXX.zip ( from bbs.lewaos.com) and copy ROM package in zip format to phone external SD card root directory.
2, download the Flash tool latest version and unzip it to the desktop (computer operation)
Download SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01, and extract it to your computer desktop.
3, download music frog end of packet (on computer operation) lewaos.com
Download end of Le frog, S720T package. zip and extract it to your computer desktop. lewaos.com
4, download and install the Flash drive Download MT65xx flash drive _ automatically installed. rar (lewaos.com ), and extract it to your computer desktop, double-click the InstallDriver.exe folder is automatically installed
If you desire to install any un-rooted original backup you have, to your phone, do not download the file in step 1.
To make the tutorial short; first install the drivers as mentioned in step 4. Then extract the file mentioned in step 3 in a folder on your desktop. Extract and start the flash tools utility and give the path of the folder you copied on your desktop. There is going to be a sort of file with name “MT6592_Android_scatter.txt”. Use its path to flash the ROM.
You will have to wait for some time, but the Flash tools will install the LEWA ROM on your phone.
rooting
can this be rooted with stock rom on it
what does the different roms look like, photos please
ok guys i have tcl s720 without the "t" whats the difference? i went to the chinese website & had a look around with an english translator & i see downloads for s720t but none for s720 .
i recently changed my rom from what it arrived with as play store didnt work & push notifications so i flashed successfully this rom
wwwdotneedromdotcom/download/tcl-720t-cm11-v2-w200s-lstyle-port/
this is ported from THL w200s which works well just a few slight issues with storage etc but better than what i had as play store works
what im also looking for is there actually a fully working rom for the s720 ? & where can i get a fully working stock rom for this phone? yes i have searched tirelessly but roms i checkout seem to have quite a few bugs so im just looking for a good stable one.
apart from few issues this phone im more than satisfied with

Hello!
I have this "F" tab and its very hard to find any custom rom that works.
I tried install some that was to the "I" version, they dont even install.....
I managed install Cyanogenmod....but I would like to have Android 6 or never.
Is this even possible?
Why I want 6 is the adopted storage...the main problem with this tablet is the too small 8Gb rom memory!
I want use SD card to applications....
Im a newbie with rooting etc...managed to install TRWP and now this cyanogenmod, but now I lost root access too
Nevermind!
Asked in another forum also about this and the answer was that my tablet too weak to run Android 6+...
I got root just booted to TRPW and choosed reebot and then it asked if I want root...choosed yes!
After that tablet started and it asked me to install super su from playstore, since I dont even have playstore I just downloaded SuperSu app to my phone and did a backup APK that I sent via bluethoot to this tablet. Voila tablet rooted again.
Then installed Link2SD app (in the same way)...
Did partion my SD card in my computer, first as FAT and second as EXT4....
Now I have a lot of memory to install apps in my tablet!
