I'm wanting to upgrade my Gigaset QV830 to at least Lollipop, currently the highest it seems to want to go on it's own is Jellybean.
I've never even rooted something before so I'm not entirely sure what I'd need to do in order to work any of this but I'm wondering if it's currently possible to use a ROM image to upgrade it to Lollipop?
It has a built-in ROM applying software but when I try to update the system with Lollipop ROMs for various phones it says it's installing but just ends up restarting it with no changes.

Did you ever manage to figure it out? I'm wanting to do this too with my QV830 and have no rooting experience. I suspect the lack of updates is because Gigaset stopped supporting the tablet a while ago.

Hi, I'm a noob seeking advice. I rooted my phone a few weeks back just because I could, but haven't really done much with it since. I haven't upgraded from 2.2.1 yet -half because I've been busy and half because I'm shy about bugs.
My question is: since LG claims it's going to release the official upgrade this month, what are the advantages of official upgrade versus unofficial? It seems like every unofficial one has bugs still, so I'd be tempted to go back to official. Also, since I've already rooted it, I'm under the impression that kills official updates. If I want to go back to the official version, would I have to unroot it first or is there a way to just allow the official update to go through?

About the 2.3 official update, everyone is waiting for that, since 2.3 unoficial Roms have bugs and unimplemented features. For example, I love the CyanogenMod rom but I had to gave up on it since the the bluetooth is not working for auriculars and for the bluetooth system on my car. The 2.3 official update will solve all the problems for these current unoficial Roms, so if you really need a fully working Rom, better not go for those 2.3 Roms available.
You should not upgrade to 2.2.1 (or 2.2.2) using the regular LG update method. That will "unroot" your phone. There are 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 official unrooted Roms (just google for that, you will find them pretty easy). In that case you won't use the KDZ method but the safer Android Recovery method (avoid using the KDZ!! it's the easiest way to kill your phone!!).
So... if you just want to "unroot" your phone, you can always get the official update back in your phone, by using the KDZ method. KDZ reflashes your phone, and that's why the risk is higher than using the Android Recovery method which one wipes out some things like /system/*
mix em both and they will shine...I hope LG's release sky rocket's mik CM7 rom and then i will permanently switch to CM...they simply rock..

That's exactly why I haven't gone for it yet. That and I've heard the GPS is still buggy.

I already had the official 2.2.1 before I rooted with GingerBreak, and haven't changed from that. I thought that rooting the phone would automatically block the OTA updates. Is there a way to simply allow the OTA 2.3 update when it comes?
As for kdz versus Android Recovery, everything I've seen around the web for returning to stock says to flash using kdz. Are you talking about using home+vol down+power?
Has anyone tried installing stock Android (Lollipop) on the Hudl 2?
It comes with Android 4.4.2 and it's doubtful that I'll get an OTA update. Stock Android would also be a good way to get rid of the embedded bloatware.

I would also be very interested in getting this :good:
How can we get a stock Android lollipop for it? I want it as well. Because if it's not possible I will return it and ask for a full refund.

Good luck returning it. Unless it is proven faulty, they won't want to know.
With regards to an update, who knows. You cannot, at present, root a hudl2 if you received an ota update.
Tesco have this tablet buttoned down. We all know that root permission gives an android device the opportunity to stretch it's legs. Tesco won't even release any signature code to enable stuff like custom recovery. Pure, stock Android, still requires much information to even begin cooking it. Until sources are released nothing can happen at present. Also bear in mind, this is a UK device and is therefore restricted in the amount of devs willing to support a 'minority' tablet. I'd love to root my hudl2 but the update got me! Every other android device I have is rooted and run custom ROMs. I've even made a couple of ROMs and until we get the source code / access to the locked down boot / access to the signature keys, we are stumped.
I am thinking about rooting my nvidia SHIELD tablet and i had a few questions about rooting. I've never done it so I won't understand any fancy terms you guys might know.
1. When I root it can I update the software at the release date. (ex. say I have 4.4 kitkat and I was rooted. lolipop comes out. Can I upgrade the day it comes out or do I need to wait for a root version or something?)
That's all for now THANKS GUYS!
You will not be able to use googles default update mechanism. Depending on the rom you have to update manually...

Oh so what exactly is a ROM? Is CyanogenOS a ROM or am I incorrect?
Hi there guys,
Its been awhile since I've rooted a phone so my memory is rusty on a few things.
Firstly, I think I read somewhere in a tutorial that the OS I originally download the stuff to has to be windows based?
Then I have a few more questions,.
I upgraded to lollipop already but I dont think that will be issue, unless you say otherwise.
The alpha came out on the official release list for marshmallow.
Will the root interfere with my phones ability to receive that update?
Thanks!

No on the second question. Ive rooted my alpha on KK and when i try to manually search for update it says the system is modified and doesnt proceed to finding updates OTA.
I Just Run Same backup Command in Cent OS, I mean I didn't change the Date As Per we have to change... And after that I run Again Same command with current date. So it's that any effect on my Samba Server?

I couldn't get the OTA update too but It was for a different reason. I bought an Att and put it on t mobile right away. The OTA update came from Att's servers or whatnot. I brought my phone into the samsung stall at a bestbuy and they pushed the update through their. Have you tried something like that for yourself?
Hello guys, I am currently in the WW-3.1.23.191 firmware with android 4.4.2 and I would like to upgrade to lollipop, using OTA I do not receive the update, you know where I can get the android 5 for this tablet and install it by recovery?
Thank you very much in advance
Well if you haven't gotten the OTA at this point ASUS is probably not going to send one to you most likely because they stopped supporting that tablet officially. I would recommend getting a custom recovery, custom rom, and a special lollipop kernel for your device (if one exists).

Could you recommend me some custom recovery or some custom rom?
cant find any android 5.0 lolipop or any custom rom like cyanogenmod for my asus memopad 8 ME181C-K011
This tablet is a good performer, quad core and would be a good candidate for a custom ROM. I have no idea why there are no custom ROMs for it, surely it should easily cope with Marshmallow if not Nougat.
I have been looking for a more up to date custom ROM for my ME181C for at least 18 months, but nothing.
Surely some of you ROM modifier experts can save us from obsolescence hell here!
Is it even possible to build a room for it? It has an Intel CPU.
I'm a little hopeless about this and I always get annoyed with its custom stock.
here's the TWRP recovery mode https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BiSPms0AsYsEis-sUvKQIX-siyagb-Dq

Is there any way to upgrade to android 5.0?
