I'm posting this thread to make it easy to find the ROM for newbees...
Please read ALL Informations carefully, before using this rom !
Disclaimer - This procedure is given here in a "as-is" format. I have personally verified it and have it running, but, the ultimate responsibility of performing this lies on you. I will not be responsible for dead / bricked devices or any such similar unfortunate situations.
Download the ROM from the link.
Extract the DLOAD folder from the zip.
Copy the DLOAD folder to the root of your Micro SD card. You can use a card reader or copy using the mediapad itself using MTP over USB cable.
Power OFF the mediapad.
Insert the Micro SD card to the mediapad and Power ON.
ROM Upgrade will start automatically. Follow the onscreen directions. Remove the MicroSD when instructed.
The device will reboot automatically. Meanwhile delete the DLOAD folder in the MicroSD.
Once fully booted copy sanixupdate folder from the downloaded ZIP to root of the INTERNAL STORAGE using the USB cable.
Power OFF and Reboot.
Now you have a ROOTED mediapad with ICS
NOTE
By using this ROM you voide the warranty... But you can very easily go back to STOCK rom before claiming for warranty.
You loose 4G if you are using a T-mobile Springboard
Remember to delete the DLOAD folder from SD card after it is removed from the device as instructed on the device screen. Keeping the DLOAD folder on SD makes it re-flash everytime you POWER ON with the SD inserted.

For step 5 don't you have to boot to recovery, not just power on? Power + Left Volume. Took me many tries to do it right, was very annoying.
Reserved
You dont have to boot in to recovery... If you have the unlmt.cfg file in your DLOAD folder, just POWER ON is enough to upgrade automatically.
On the otherhand if you remove the unlmt.cfg file in your DLOAD folder, you dont have to delete the DLOAD folder on step 7.

Odd. I didn't remove it but still had to specifically boot it to recovery. Was a pain and it boot regularly to the stock ROM several times.
So, who's been brave enough to try it? My mediapad is 24hrs old and I don't fancy my chances lol!
Can you still call and text with the ROM, and has anyone got any screenshots or benchmarks to show?
Cheers.

I upgraded following these instructions and had no problems. It seems to me that you can talk and text but I can't test it as I just have a data plan for this device.
For T-Mobile, how does this lose "4G?" Does that mean we're stick with 3G or Edge data speed? Does it revert to using 1900Mhz for 3G like AT&T uses?

For T-Mobile, it means we are stuck with maximum of 3G speeds. I'm messing with the build.prop and a few other things right now to see if that could be what the issue is. Really, it's not a detriment one way or the other.
Any of the devs noticed how messy the build.prop and just disorganized in general the system seems to be?

Works much much better than stock HC thats for sure. With the exception of the lack of 4g (which i honestly barely notice) and some oddities with touchscreen sensitivity its been perfect.

I agree about the touch screen it is somewhat troublesome. I question whether we have really lost 4G or just the ability to have that icon on the screen. I'm seeing the same speeds now that I was seeing prior to the upgrade.
Took the plunge - lovely ROM, really nice work. If I want to flash back to stock I thought the download from Huawei's site would work fine, however, even after following the instructions, it doesnt seem to boot and do the update, it just boots like normal - am I missing something?
Updated: I managed te restore by using a combination of buttons whilst rebooting. Not sure which ones did out tho
I have got problem at step number 8: Once fully booted copy sanixupdate folder from the downloaded ZIP to root of the INTERNAL STORAGE using the USB cable.
I cant write to internal storage, because i dont have permission.

I'm always on 2G after flashing this ICS rom.
Even when I choose and connect to 3G network, it still shows 'G' and not 'H'.
Its a nice and fast rom, really like it, but using 2G to surf the net is a pain in the 'S'.
Anyone can help?

I am not seeing this problem at all. I have the same data speeds after flashing this ROM as I did when I was running stock HC. The only thing different is that I no longer have an icon that says 4G but that is purely cosmetic.

First, nothing in this post is my own work. I just wanted to compile the information for everyone else who is surely wanting to know if the 4g LTE tab can run Netflix.
Step 1 - Root:
1. Download the file from THIS THREAD POST to your Tab10.1 (anywhere should work, I went with the /sdcard folder on my tab)
2. Power Down Tab
3. Power On and when you see the Samsung Text Hold Power + Volume UP (From This Post)
4. Select the Android+Box (Volume up to switch, then volume down to select)
5. Chose "apply update from /sdcard" and select the .zip file you downloaded in step 1 (When finished, the tab will automatically reboot).
6. Verify Root - You should see SuperUser in your apps when your tab finishes rebooting.
Step 2 - Asus Transformer Patch
1. Download the Transformer Patch from THIS THREAD
2. Install Patch - I chose to use Root Explorer to manually move the libnvomx.so file into my /system/lib folder, but you could also reboot into recovery and apply the .zip file that way instead (steps 2-5 above).
3. Reboot - If you manually move the .so file you will need to reboot, using the recovery it should reboot for you when finished.
4. Watch Movies
If anyone has trouble with this Please Do Not Email Me
I am really not a pro at troubleshooting, I was just willing to take a shot at rooting and found out that it worked. Hopefully this will ease other people's minds about getting root and netflix on your Verizon Tab 10.1
Also it is worth mentioning that I did all of this without using ODIN or KIES or ADB Shell or any of those other scary things. I chose not to try to install Rom Manager of Flash Clockwork Recovery as I had heard they may cause troubles.
I noticed that you mentioned using an SD Card multiple times in this post, but the 4G LTE version doesn't support SD Cards (doesn't even have the slot).
Why the discrepancy?

He probably meant place it on the root of the drive of the tab. When you plug in your tab to your computer, you should be able to view your files there. Add the zip file to the root of that drive. Hope that makes sense.

True. I was torn with how to describe the location and decided to use SD Card to be in line with the "\sdcard" which is still in use in the file system for the tab
I guess I've been explaining the root / recovery process on the OG Droid for so long that I still toss references to "root of the sd card" and "install zip from sd".
I'll edit the original post for clarity.
Question (and thanks this is very helpful!). I'm going to do the same as you I think and stick with custom rom and no cwr. So if you need to unroot for warranty return or whatever, and we've only done the steps in this post, what do we have to do to unroot? Thanks!
This worked very well...it was almost too easy. Thank you for sharing the info.
Does it work on the wifi only model? P7510?

Not 100% sure CSGirl... in my experience, the person making the determination about warranty approvals would be the in-store rep. In that case you should be fine by just using root explorer and deleting the SuperUser app. The permissions would still be there I suppose, but the store guy wouldn't see the telltale app.
Someone else could probably give a better answer.
If you open up the .zip file for rooting and go into \meta-inf\com\google\android and open the updater-script file you can see everything that is getting changed, I guess you would just have to change that back.
Also, @wiibrewer, I have no idea
Well how about is there any reason it should not work on the wifi model?

4g LTE Recovery Mode
Good Morning: Thank you for your postings. I have a new Verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 4g LTE. I am not able to get the device into recovery mode. Is there a procedure for rooting that can eliminate that step or is there an alternate way to get in to recovery mode? Any assistance will be appreciated.
I found that the volume up button is the one closest to the power button and not the actual volume button if that solves your problem
Verizon 4g LTE Tab root
Hi there,
I just bought a samsung Galaxy 10.1 4G LTE tablet.

And I cannot get to Step #5
My volume and power buttons are on the left side of the tablet.
I copied the the file Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root zip file
onto the main root directory, but when I power down the tablet
and select the android box icon on the left - my screen goes blank
and cannot get to the next step witch is to apply the update from SD card and to choose the zip file.
Can someone please help me, it is driving me crazy! I have tried over and over too many times with no success.
My compter is running wondows 7 64bit
Thanks!
Did you rooted the tab because,mine runs just fine i rooted then i flashed the CMW recovery after

Same problem here.
I can boot to Download mode and use Odin3 but can't boot to recovery mode... I get a blank screen with slight edge glow. So the older way to root won't work either, since you can't get to Recovery mode to finish the job.
Any suggestions? Would a Factory data reset work.

Well, I am new to this forum because I recently bought a Galaxy Player. This is my first Android device and I have rooted it using SOC. I have installed clockworkmod but there is no option for the Galaxy Player. I have downloaded the ICS rom for the 5.0 USA version and I am just a complete noob to custom roms. Can anyone direct me to a goods tutorial on this or just a quick rundown on how to do it, I am just a really confused 14 year old... Thanks

just pretend you didn't do any of that and...
1. download odin3 v1.3 (windows application)
2. download the samsung usb drivers and install them, i can't remember where i got them
3. plug phone into usb, turn off while plugged in, turn back on while holding volume down (maybe it was up?)
4. go into odin and click the pda button and select...
5. this file and press "start" (i think that's what it's labeled)
6. the phone will reboot itself back to normal
7. copy this zip onto your sd.
8. turn the phone off, and turn back on while holding volume up
9. back that **** up, i dunno what the hell it's labeled
10. wipe data/cache/dalvik (dalik is under advanced)
11. choose to install zip from sd, choose the "this zip" from step 7
12. choose install from zip again -> ICS ROM you downloaded
13. reboot, try out ICS for 2 seconds
14. turn off, boot into recovery (the volume up + power **** we keep doing)
15. install from zip -> Google Apps zip
16. reboot and enjoy ICS and google apps and all the other cool stuff the internet has to offer
Thanks! Very well written, I'll try it out later tonight.
I have installed it successfully, however I don't think it detects my internal SD card. Do you know why that is?

This is why you should always read the entire post when you download a ROM. That issue is mentioned several times through the thread, and it has yet to have been resolved to the best of my knowledge. But always look into what your flashing, otherwise you'll probably end up with a really shiny paperweight on your hands.
Yes, I should've looked at the whole thread but I f'd it up badly now... So, I read what you said about the "SD card problem in the thread" and I took a look and saw that you had to switch around /emmc (I think?) and /sdcard around in the vold.fstab file in the /etc directory. SO, I was stupid and extracted the whole .zip of the ROM, changed the contents in the vold.fstab file, re-zipped it up, and tried to flash it again. Unfortunately, I tried to flash but this is what CWM Recovery said:
-- Installing: /emmc/ICS/3-31.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
... It's probably because the signature verification failed (because of no signature). And I was also being so stupid as to deleting the original ROM off of my SD card... I also note that I am doing this all from an internal, I do not have an external... This is what I am going to:
Get an external microSD and microSD reader for the PC
Put the original ROM on it
Flash it from the external
I am guessing that it would work from that way, as I probably f's up the internal. Can someone clear this up? Will this method work?
Disregard my last post, I am all set back to the stock ROM with no problems. Anyways, thanks for the support, and I will always try to look at the whole thread before flashing a new ROM.

I've got the Telstra RHOD110 and I've tried to install every Android build since about the first stable Froyo release. Every single one of them hangs during the Linux boot sequence.
It seems to be memory related, but past that I've got no clue - I'm an IT professional, but I'm in operations, not development so I'm a little out of my depth with this stuff.
I have NOT done HardSPL yet, but I was under the impression this wasn't necessary for the SD card method (which I wanted to test out before potentially bricking a ~$1000 phone). In theory it's just the standard Telstra WinMo 6.5 ROM...
It's getting a bit frustrating after years of trying this and seeing everyone else talking about how easy it is. I'm using F22's rootfs and TotalCommander isn't showing up any *.csv files in the \windows directory, so I can't even try the GBX0C (2.3.7) test build. Anyone know why my phone seems to be different?
Hi Nukkels lets focus on getting GBX0C running since

First things first: Format the MicroSD you plan to use using the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. Just use google to find it. I use version 2.1.8. Perform a FULL format, FAT32.
Now download the package from here: http://files.xdandroid.com/GBX0C_Full_Bundle_2012.04.24.zip and extract all of the files to the root of your SD card

I think I understand why you are trying to use that rootfs since it has some stuff tailor made for Rhod110/Telstra but I don't think it is necessary. Just leave the existing rootfs.img from the GBX0C package, it should work for you.
Nukkels said:

I haven't used TotalCommander for a while, but it seems to me that there is an option like "Hide Files in ROM" or "Show Hidden Files" or something like that which is probably preventing you from seeing the .csv's in /Windows/. So find that option and find those files and copy them to the root of your storage card.
If you can't find them I think that GBX0C should still boot as I have booted without any .csv's, there was just no sound in the build. But at least you can see that it is working. In case you absolutely cannot find them, here are my .csv's from rhod100uk: View attachment RHOD100_CSV.zip, unzip to your storage card, which hopefully will get you going.
Okay, now all you need is a touch screen calibration file. If you do not have one here is mine:View attachment ts-calibration.zip
Unzip it to the storage card.
Now you have everything in place on the card, please at this point do not try to edit the startup.txt or anything in /conf/. Lets just get this baby working.
Before you run anything I would set WM to airplane mode, set your backlight control to any level but auto (ie low), and make sure that you are not overclocking your processor in WM.
Now run HaRET.exe from the root of the storage card and cross your fingers mate!
Be patient, first boot can take ~10 minutes sometimes.
EDIT: Also there is a fairly good chance that your thread will get moved to the Android section... if it does and you aren't able to post in it anymore you can PM me.
I just wrote up a huge post and lost it all :crying:
Basically I followed your sintructions step by step and it worked!
I'd never done a FULL format before - that takes hours! I'm guessing this might have been the main issue.
I'll play around over the next few days with F22s rootfs and rhod110 startup parameter, Airplane mode turned on, etc to see if any of that had an impact. I never thought to set backlight to manual or use Airplane mode.
Hopefully I can help find the crucial step I missed, so it can be included in the installation instructions (or at the very least someone might stumble on this thread).
Anyway thanks a tonne for your help, it got me up and running!:good:
Thread moved to the appropriate section.
I genuinely hope you didn't pay ~$1000 for this phone... wow.

The tablet that I am dealing with is a "Cruz Velocity Mini Tablet" running android 2.0 and no means of installing apk's.
Currently this is the situation:
A friend of mine lent me her Chinese reader tablet.
I told her that I could probably flash a newer version of Android on it, thinking that I could finally try my hand at making a ROM because I know for a fact that there aren't many ROMs if any at all out there for a chinese off brand reader like this.
After rooting the tablet I deleted the pre installed bloatware via ADB commands (shell) including a file manager (Astro) that I believe was the only way that you could browse files on the tablet, as well as some other pre installed applications that must have been necessary in retrospect. There is no existing vending capability or market application.
I am looking to make a custom ROM (Using android Kitchen and Cywign) through following this tutorial by lokeshsaini94 yet I feel like following that tutorial won't even get me where I need to be.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Things that I have tried at this point include:
Attempting to connect the tablet to my computer with the SD inserted (with and without debugging turned on) [Failed to show up on my computer as a device or anything]
Downloading the APK that I need from a file sharing website [Downloads fail]
Uploading the APK that I need to my Google drive and downloading it from the tablet [Says waiting for data connection and doesn't download even though connected to our WiFi]
Inserting the SD card into my computer, copying the APK I need over to it, then inserting the SD card back into the tablet, going into the browser and typing "File:///sdcard/<name here>.apk" to install an APK but getting an error in the installer after pushing 'install' -> 'Application not installed'
Trying to perform a factory reset; this simply makes the tablet reboot with everything the same as it was before.
Essentially guys and gals, my tablet here is running Android 2.0, I want to update it by making my own rom for it to something at least >4.0, and it seems that I've made things worse and have no way out of this mess. I think I've essentially bricked it even though it still works. :silly:
What do I need to do to make a custom ROM let alone flash/wipe this tablet?
All help will be incredibly valuable
There should be plenty of info here http://www.slatedroid.com/forum/93-velocity-micro-cruz-reader/ to get you on the right track. Not likely you'd be able to get anything beyond Gingerbread on there running due to lack of source code. Your only hope would be to see if there is a newer tablet with the same chipset that has something newer on it to port over.
Still no paddles

In fact I already downloaded one and put it onto the SD card. Apparently for these tablets you're supposed to, while powered off, turn it back on by holding the power button and the volume up button but all this seems to do as a whole load of nothing.
I fear that what I've done to it by deleting potentially sensitive programs previously, I have somehow managed to make this process impossible.
Is there some kind of way that I can plug this tablet into my computer and be able to completely wipe it so I can, at the very least, have a functional tablet that will work at all? I've done approximately 5 factory data resets yet the background image that my friend has on the tablet as well as seemingly every single setting and application is remaining untouched..
Try the ones here that also install a custom recovery: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/33586-a-clockworkmod-rom-compendium-for-the-cruz-reader/
You'll want to make sure and rename the file exactly as mentioned there on the OP. Install instructions are included too. I don't think there is a way to reload via the PC. The right zip should get everything working properly.
If anyone has picked up the new LG Optimus Fuel #LGL34C , & doesn't know, it CAN be rooted. I picked up one at Wal Mart last week for $30. I mean, a dual-core Kit Kat 4.4 LG device for $30 - I couldn't pass it up for Dev purposes. Now if I could only unlock the bootloader, lol. It doesn't even boot into Recovery, Bootloader, Download, or Fastboot. I'm sure someone will break it wide open soon.

man lets hope so i was first to get the right mod string for it on towelroot v3 but no luck on bootloader yet im hoping it gets sorted out soon. i did pull the recovery.img directly from the phone and it does have a recovery but it just doesnt work for some reason.
Yes, I've been trying all kinds of methods, but none of them seem to work. Since the phone is so new, there's not much activity surrounding it, but we will see.

Tagging along because I picked up one of these from Walmart over the weekend. My main phone went missing and I needed to get something going quickly. Couldn't believe they had an Android 4.4 device for $30. Of course if it could be rooted and some custom ROM's be loaded I'd love to tinker with it.
Stock Firmware
Has anyone been able to find a stock firmware for lgl34c or does anyone have a backup of one

It CAN be rooted. Using towel root mod strings.
@ravenmore Yes, like toxinburn said, it CAN be rooted. Just follow the link in the OP. Make sure you change the numbers as described in reply #1 of the post. Have any questions, just reply here, or PM me. Good luck. @bigneo1973 I haven't found a stock yet, & my device is semi-bricked right now. They're making progress at this thread - http://www.forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791871 Good luck
hey skyline i see you softbricked when you plug the phone in does it come up with two folders verinfo and image? If so I may be able to help you. If that is the case it is in qualcomm bulk mode and you can use linux to push the original files back to it, I messed up my aboot and was able to repair it thru linux......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426 read this it should help if you need any working img files let me know.

This is most likely the thread he was referring to
Has anyone been able to get WiFi tether to work on this phone?
I've tried a bunch of different versions of WiFi tether for root users, with a variety of different settings. Usually I get tethering started with errors, but the log file is always blank.
Edit: I've gotten as far as being able to see the network in ad-hock mode. But can't connect to it from my computer.
Update:
I bought WiFi Tether Router in the playstore. Works great.
found bootloader

Hey I have a rooted LG Optimus Fuel and I think I did something to break the WiFi because it won't turn back on at all.. I downloaded MAC Spoofer and changed my MAC address one time then changed it back to default and ever since then WiFi would not turn back on at all.. Im only posting here because this is a fairly new phone and this thread seems to have the most activity about this device.. Please if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

I use Barnacle Wifi Tether, you can download it from the play store. Sometimes it gets hung up and you have to stop and start it again. Other than that it works for me. Would like to see some custom roms and recovery soon for this phone. seems like it has alot of potential.time will tell..
I seem to have accidentally "repurposed" my home button to something else while I was fooling with a /system file. If someone could help that would be great. Even if it was an attacment of a copy of the stock /system folder and all of its sub(directories/folders/files). Actually that would be preffered.
Either way, any and all help is appreciated.

Hi. Can someone confirm this for me? Does this phone, LG Optimus Fuel, use a battery labeled as "LG BL-44JH"?

Mine does. However it is a net10 variant, I cannot confirm nor deny that any other variants, such as Straight Talk, does or does not have that model number on the battery.

LG Optimus Fuel L34C - How To Add Your Own Ringtones
LG Optimus Fuel L34C - How To Add Your Own Ringtones
.
How to add your own MP3 ringtones to a LG Optimus Fuel L34C phone from a Windows PC. This will also probably work on most other LG android smartphones, but I haven't tried it.
.
Any MP3 file can be used as a ringtone, even a whole song. There is no limit to the file size.
.
.
Plug USB data cable into the Windows PC USB port. You can use the charger cable for this, once you disconnect it from the charger plug (If it is the type that unplugs from the charger plug, otherwise you will need a USB to micro-USB data cable).
.
Plug micro USB cable end into L34C phone (The L34C phone should be turned on and on the main screen).
.
Wait for the "Select USB Connection Method" screen to come up on the L34C phone. Choose "Media Sync (MTP)".
.
-On the Windows PC, start the Windows File Explorer.
-Go to the top of the menu tree in Windows File Explorer and select "My PC" or "This PC"
-On the right window pane, next to the C: drive icon, a phone icon should appear with the name of your phone. Double-Click on it.
-Now you should see two selections for the L34C phone, "internal storage" and "SD card". Double-Click on "SD card".
-If there is an "Android" folder, click on it. Otherwise, create a folder called, "Android" (without the quotes).
-Inside the "Android" folder, create a folder called, "media" (without the quotes).
-Inside the "media" folder, create a folder called, "ringtones" (without the quotes).
-Inside the "ringtones" folder, create a folder called, "audio" (without the quotes).
.
The finished folders should look like this (Uppercase and lowercase letters should also match):
.
/Android/media/ringtones/audio/
.
Add any MP3 ringtone files to the "audio" folder you have created on the SD card.
.
.
When finished, disconnect the data cable from the L34C phone.
.
If you go to your phone ringtones list on the LG phone, your added ringtones should appear at the top of the list under "MY RINGTONES", above the "LG RINGTONES" list.
