Hello everyone. I recently inherited an Azpen A1040, which came with KitKat (4.4.2) preinstalled. According to a link at CoolTechLine, which I can't include because this is my first XDA post, there’s a Marshmallow ROM available for the A1040.
Unfortunately, the only way to access said ROM is to complete a series of surveys, or agree to be involved in various retail promotions. As interested as I am in the ROM, I’m in no hurry to do either.
With all that said, I have two questions I’m hoping somebody can help me with.
1) Assuming the ROM is legitimate, does anyone know where else I can download it? I couldn’t find it on Azpen’s website.
2) If not, perhaps there’s a ROM from another manufacturer I could use? From what I can tell, this exact tablet, which is likely manufactured by a third party, is also offered by other, low cost tablet/phone companies.
Thank you for reading this.

Hi, I first want to start by saying I have read through the entire Hermes wiki and have followed the website for about the past year, through my 8125 and now on to my 8525. Thus, I have done the necessary research but now just have a couple of questions that are best answered by the community. I apologize if I did not find a thread out there that answered this particular question, but I assure you that I tried to look for one. ANYWAY....
A couple of weeks ago my father purchased a HTC TyTN in France, I suppose, from my recommendations for my 8525. He is originally from overseas, grew up there, and has fluently spoken French his entire life, but English is the language with which he is comfortable as far as computers and phones go. Although he loves the phone, his one problem is the fact that everything is in French. He says that he can sort of navigate around but claims that most of the translation is not great, and, in addition, it is hard for me to help him out when things are called different things between our two phones.
Basically, my question is what do I have to do to make his phone in English? I am assuming that his phone is the HTC TyTN and, from looking on the ROM upgrading page, that his ROM is currently the "1.18.256.2 FRA." I know that I will have to upgrade his ROM, but which is the best, most stable one that I should upgrade his phone to? Or, is there officially released ROM's that HTC releases for TyTN users who buy their phone overseas but would prefer an operating system in English, or another language?
Again, I am sure someone will say "Read the wiki before you post something like this," but it is my father's phone (which he paid $600 for there!!) and I want to be sure I know what I am doing when I do it, rather than the way I can just play around with my 8525.
I thank everyone in advance for reading my post and for any help that anyone can provide; a mere recommendation of a ROM to any helpful suggestions would be more than appreciated! Thank you so much again, and thanks to everyone who keeps this place such a valuable community for those seeking help and, of course, those eternally seeking ways to make their phones cooler than that of the person's next to them!
Sincerely,
Brandon
Without going into a discussion on which ROM is "better" and what criteria should be used the decide the "betterness" of a particular ROM, the easiest option is to install the WWE edition of the same ROM version you have installed already.
You will need to either make the phone SuperCID, or better, use the new SSPL method.
Hello all,
My goal is not to go in a separate forum, just to have a link for and with the very few guys owning a 5.0 KOREAN version. (a kind a meeting point)
Specially regarding ROMS because we have no or very tiny access to the related korean forums.
Second point is the fact not really seen with other version, if you "miss" the kernel flashing, (wrong one or not well flashed) this device goes immediatly in wreck state at memory level. (Well explained by expert Rumirand.)
That say It will be good for us to try and get advantages of the newcoming ROMs available for US and INt'l version.
We know in advance we will be loosing camera and some specific Korean functions!!)
Everybody support is welcome.
Hello
First of all apologies if I am listing this new thread in the wrong place, I am fairly new to the forum!
Secondly, I have read that many people do not much like the Chinese phones, but I was looking for a decent spec, cheap phone for my 13 year old son, so that I would not care too much when he stands on it while playing sports at school, or it get 'misplaced'/lost/stolen by some other 13 year old, or if he simply abuses it to hell and so this iBOLD X-U 4.7" (1280x720) quad core phone just fitted the bill.
So I bought one and out of the box it looks and operates as expected, other than... the dreaded Chinese apps! Most of the apps are English/in English, but it has some in Chinese, one of which I believe is something to do with the rooting of the phone (does "com.mgyun.shua.su" mean anything to anyone?). I am also unable to find a custom ROM for it, or any instructions on how to get round to do this...
The main question is, how do I get to a UK/English only ROM/Software/Setup/Menus & Messages for this phone please, to at least get to Google store only apps? Am I asking too much and is this possible (on a Chinese phone) please? If I can flash it up from the 4.2.2 version it reports to be loaded with, to something like KitKat it would be brilliant!
Apologies for the relative inexperience, I do build normal PC's and write some code, just never not got round to changing anything on an Android phone (or worked with Linux type software!) as yet, so any help/advice welcome!
Many thanks
Assuming you are rooted and have a custom recovery, otherwise this is not possible via recovery.
If that's the case, extract your zip and make sure you install the proper DPI, all that is done automatically if you can flash a zip.
This is 5.0 gapps, KitKat linked in the op.

Howdy,
So, I have a Toshiba AT200 tablet that uses android 4.0.3 and I'm disabled currently jumping through all the hoops for SSI. In the meantime I been using the usertesting app to make enough money to cover my rent & internet barely. Trouble is, they just discontinued support for android versions older than 5.0 so I need to upgrade it to android 5 or 6. Since I have no real clue how to do much of anything on android other than install and run stuff from the play store, I called Toshiba for help and was told that they don't offer a manufacturer update to higher android versions but that I could easily google an unofficial one that is completely legal.
Well, after the last 5 hours of trying, 3 system crashes, 21 removals of trojans by windows defender and malwarebytes, and I-have-no-idea how many 'surveys' & 'offers' completions trying to unlock downloads; I STILL don't have a working upgrade.
PLEASE help me! I need this done to continue earning enough money to pay my rent & internet.
Thanks,
Robert
that's a copy that I posted two weeks ago in the assist forums and never got a response till today telling me to put it here. I've done more searching since first posting, but still haven't found anything working (and ended up with some gomail.ru hijacker thing which I've tried repeatedly to remove but can't seem to fully get rid of it) so please help ASAP! two weeks is way too long to not make any income... I'm prolly gonna be late for internet this month.
Thanks,
Robert
Why won't anyone help me? Is it unclear what device it is? AT200 is what it lists in the 'about' section in the tablet settings menu, but what it shows up as when I put the serial number into the Toshiba website is Excite AT205-T16I
I still need help with this thing PLEASE! am I still asking in the wrong place?
As I know, the upgrade of androi up to your device. If It announce to upgrade, it means that you can do it. If not, you can't
What? I'm sorry but I don't understand what you tried to say. The Toshiba rep told me to google 'toshiba at200 custom rom lollipop' though I really don't know what that means... and I've tried multiple times but always end up with either a bunch of malware to get rid of or one of those 'complete survey or offer to unlock download' things which never work. I found a site with pretty understandable instructions on how to complete the upgrade and got some kinda rooting tool, but it doesn't help me without having this 'apk rom' that it talks about and doesn't give any links on the instruction page.
Regrettably, there aren't any options to update your device. There are 2 ways to upgrade, either via updates put out by the manufacturer, or via a custom version of android (referred to as a "rom") that is compiled from a source code such as the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) or CyanogenMod (CM). For devices that didn't sell well or weren't of significant interest to the developer community, custom updates aren't usually an option as it takes a considerable amount of time and skill to update a device beyond what the manufacturer puts out due to differences in the system as well as drivers on newer versions of android.
Hi,
First of all, moderators please feel free to move this thread to the correct section if I'm wrong.
This is the story: we have received 80 Samsung S8 in our company to replace he old S5 ones. The problem that we are facing is that we can't deliver the new devices to the users without all the software upgrades. So, we have to go one by one trough the update process thee times!! with it's corespondent reboots and checks on every device.
So the question is as the thread title shows, is there a way to bulk update several devices at the same time? I mean, not by doing it by hand but in an automated way.
I've been digging on google but I can't find nothing on this matter. Maybe I'm just blind or that there it isn't a way to do it.
Hope some one can help. Any idea would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Ouch, no one?
Any ideas?
