Hi there,
Since its a GENERIC TABLET made by an unknown Chinese manufacturer, it's impossible to get a firmware update. The best way is for you to create a custom version of android using LINEAGE OS, and also porting a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. But even though you have successfully created the OS you might not be able to install it on your Chinese Tablet.
Anyways if something happened during the process here's the link to download the stock firmware for that tablet :

USE SPFLASH TOOL TO install the firmware since it is an MTK device.
Sincerely

Yeah i started to go that route but have been unable to find a recovery for it or a lineage version for it. is it possible to use a twrp and linage for a different but similiar tablet?

Hi there,
Yeah Twrp is just a recovery software, and Lineage is just a custom ROM, so you can use it on a different tablet. But again you have to port those two software for it to work.
However you can research it on google to see how to port them on different phones or tablets.

Hello,
i recently bought a smartphone from Ali.
It's a MPIE M15 with MTK6595 (CPU-z is agree). Here's the specs :
Android Version : 5.0.0
Baseband : MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V43, 2014/09/17 10:10
Kernel : 3.4.67 [email protected] #1
Build Number : A100-HYDY 20150627-155331
Custom Build Version : 1435391497
Hardware : mt6595
After test, it's already rooted, i can access to Android Recovery.
The problem is that the installed rom is a Chinese Android version.
i want to install the factory Android Lollipop, but i cant find any version for my phone.
CyanogenMod installation via recovery have a OTA error..
So with my specs, is that possible to run another rom, like the Official Android (5.1?) and how to do it?
Thanks for your answer
Update
I understand that i have to install a custom recovery, but now i have a new problem..
MTK Droid Tools says the hardware is fake in Kernel or Firmware rolleyes not corresponding to the phone..
How to format all the phone, i want the Android Official Firmware on it, how to do that please ?..
OK MTK Droid Tools recognize my phone now. I do the backup for a custom TWRP recovery. if anyone know a link the original image of android .zip, thank you to tell me..
i continue :cyclops:

Please write if you find the program Im interested in purchasing that phone, but don't want to learn chinese
By the way, how that phone looks like in real life? All options works normally?
Hello, after two days working on the phone, i'm almost there.
First, this phone is faking his own components.
It's sold for a MTK6595, in fact it's a MTK6572. Same for Android, it's KitKat, not Lollipop. Not sure about the RAM (maybe 2Go). 1 virus app (AVG). Chinese stuff installed. I bought it 85$ from Ali (i understand now^^). The Camera is sh**, really! (but photo is not a prob for me).
Im not an experimented dev, the phone seems to be block somewhere, it's very hard to launch a custom recovery. I extracted the Stock ROM with MTK Droid Tools.
Finally, I install a custom recovery after a day of search, the Carvil Touchscreen and make it stable for the mPie. Now i want to install a Custom Rom on it, after replace the boot.img from Stock to Port, i have to modify the kernel, i will see..
If i managed a custom rom to get worked, i will post a tuto, if someones are interested
i continue :cyclops:

I found a original custom rom for this on needrom, but the phone still faking his hardware.. The kernel is fake and i don't know what to do now.
It's not a Mpie M15 (fake), it's a Mpie Mp S-168, on KK.
If anybody got scammed with the Mpie M15, i backup my device 10 times, i have a stock rom for

Hello. I also bought the phone. now we have to change the firmware. if you have the opportunity to specify where to get the firmware for this phone?
Hello,
I got a new Runbo Q5 rugged outdoor smartphone:
http://en.runbo.net/productview.php?id=226
It comes with:
Android version: 5.1
Kernel version: 3.10.65
Custom build version: A106_DT800_Runbo-EN_6M_20151218_V6.4
I'm trying to root it, but so far with no success. I already used the following "simple-auto-rooting-tools":
Android APK version of http://kingroot.net
Desktop version of http://www.rootgenius.com
KingRoot Desktop version of http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
None of them is working. Has anybody some experiences in rooting a Runbo Q5? What would be the next steps if I'm thinking about digging more into this and trying to do it by myself?
Thanks in advance!

Need custom recovery
This one not listed in both TWRP and cwm. Any one could help to flash custom recovery?
I acquired a china tablet running lollipop 5.1.1 arm64v8

Kernel version 3.10.72 [email protected] #6
Build number HY U804MC_20190517_V1.1.00
Custome build version ALPS.L1.MP8.V_ALONG8163.E_p9

I would love a recovery that works and possibile the stock rom.
I can use my puter and get to adb root.
and the bootloader is already unlocked.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Do you know which commercial Alps tablet is the direct ancestor of your custom U804MC? Maybe if you found the firmware for that, you could fix this.
Thanks for replying

I finally got TWRP ported into the recovery, its upside down on the screen ( ie. you swipe the top when the image is on the bottom )but its at least working
I really want to thank you for replying, Staysafe and COVID free.
Do you think maybe you ported a TWRP for MT8127 into your MT8163? Could be incompatible?

To port TWRP you need the same processor and kernel version for donor and stock....It is the fastest way to port I think
I have been trying to find a method to update the android version on Hisilicon Hi3796 M100 android Set top box which is at present running android 4.4.2. As the android is this old, it doesn't support a good number of apps, from playstore, or by adb. I tried to find a custom rom online, but couldn't find. Is there one? Or is there any way to update the os if there is no official update available?
Moving from Android 4.4.2 to Android 5.0+ is an upgrade not an update.
To upgrade you need a Custom ROM what requires you have to flash a Custom Recovery ( e.g. TWRP ) before. Do you have a 100% matching TWRP available?
Hey,
Thank you for the quick reply. And thank you again for correcting that update-upgrade thing. Will keep it in mind.
And I am sorry I couldn't find a custom ROM for my device online. I am not sure what exactly it means by flashing a custom recovery.
Could you please explain it a little bit... or give some link from where I could find it out?
Thank you.

No. I searched everywhere I could and there is not even remotely matching TWRP available.

This is probably a long shot but I'll try....
We're rolling out some bedside entertainment tablets but they arrived from China (ELC) with Android 7.1.2. We need them running at least Android 11. We've reached out to the vendor that sold them and have been getting the run around for months. They tell us it's possible but they're waiting on ELC to provide the update. I've gone to ELC directly as well but nothing there either.
Since these are based on a RockChip 3399 chip (I have root and an unlocked bootloader) is it possible to upgrade these on my own with a stock image? I honestly have no idea if this can be done but figured I would try here for any input. We're really having a hard time with both companies...
Thanks for any help!
To clarify things: Stock ROM is the ROM that comes with device when getting released / shipped. You've to flash a suitable Custom ROM by means of a matching Custom Recovery in order to ugrade current device's Android.
Did you ever find a suitable custom ROM? I have no idea how to ‘match custom rom recovery’. Everywhere I look seems to talk about radio units. I have a tablet too and it has NO discernible device name or model that is recognisable .. tried to download a rom or two and they don’t finish pushing through ADB so I’m assuming I need the right ROM..
