Good Evening/Hello/Hi,
I own a Huawei MediaPad 10 Link Plus(16 GB) and I am running stock OS (Android 4.2), unrooted. I am a total stranger when it comes to upgrading OS through bootloader, but I have successfully rooted a phone once, a very long time ago ( but I had no idea what it did and I don't remember how) . So I would like to ask for help on how to upgrade tablet's OS to the newest version that is possible on this device ( I mean it's got 1 gig of ram and a quad core cpu, we can get more juice out of it can we?). I can find a bunch of useful information here, but it seems I am having a hard time finding specifly what I need to accomplish my task. I know that the newest version that's officially possible is Android 4.2, but an unofficial version can be even higher right? The stock OS seems to be super laggy and filled with bloatware and an ugly UI.
I would like that the new OS would be as close to stock Android as possible.
Thank You
I tried to find a custom ROM, but it seems as if there are none really. I also read somewhere that it is not possible to even root the device, so you may have hit a bit of a roadblock. The best thing you can do is install a custom recovery and try to build your own ROM (I know, I know). You'd have to do quite a bit of work since there aren't many files available out there for the device.

Hello, and thanks to all who take the time to read this and offer their support.
To everyone else... just hello.
Okay.
I have a few of those cheap Chinese 7" tablets so common on e-Bay these days. For the price, most of these are okay and seem to run fairly well "as-is" without having to spend a lot of time rooting them or installing CFW. This one however is just a little bit different.
Here's the deal... The tablet I'm going to be addressing in this thread has a ROM that was not customized for the retailer very well. The particular combination of apps and services it has causes the tablet to perform horribly. I'd really like to change this. The problem is however that because there are so many of these around these days, many of these generic units have not been "developed." Because of this, rooting these devices or replacing the ROM's is often very difficult if not downright impossible. At times, even identifying the specifics of the hardware. This tablet is one of those.
I've tried just about everything I can think of to simply modify the ROM it has in a way that would make it work better, but there are a few apps installed that are locked and impossible to modify or remove. I've come to the conclusion at this point that if possible, installing a custom ROM is going to be the only way to "fix" it. I have been able to root the device, but I have not been able to replace the recovery app , nor have I been able to identify a ROM that might be able to be installed once I do.
What I need from you folks.
If I supply every scrap of information I can come up with about this tablet, would someone please be willing to tell me which ROM just might work, and how I can use the recovery app that's installed to install it? If so, thank you.
Here's the information.
Options available in the installed recovery app.
A. Apply update from ADB
B. Apply update from external storage.
C. Apply update from cache.
Here's the tablet information.
Brand: ZTO
Model: N1 PLUS (Generic Chinese 7" tablet)
Android version: 4.1.1
Baseband version: v0.4rc3
Kernal version: 3.0.8+
Build number: N1 PLUS_wifi-7601_V4.1.1 JR003C 20131202
And again, Thank you.
I bought ViewPad 10s tablet a while ago and I never used it till now. Only this week I started to use it, but I realized that it has very old OS android 2.2. And it does not even have the google play. It has only 256 MB free space.
I would really really appreciate if one of you (android guru) help me to get the tablet to the latest OS. Otherwise its really unusable
thanks

You are able to install a custom rom like Vega; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397204 . There are newer os versions available, but I would not advice to go any further than ICS as the device is quite old and the specs just won´t run the newer os versions smoothly. ICS will already get your device compatible with alot more apps than froyo.

Hi All.
This question may seem trivial, and I've searched high and low for an answer but couldn't find one.
I have an Oppo R7g. This is running ColorOS version 2.1.0i and on android version 5.1.1.
In short I would like to install the Marshmallow release of android onto the phone, in effect replacing ColorOS. I have managed to Root my phone using the Oppotools and now I am looking around for the ROM. But I can't seem to find one.
I was surprised that there wasn't a release from Google that I could use. When googling for this I found the below link that links to factory images for nexus devices. It seemed like there was a different image per version for each device. This isn't what I expected. When I want to install windows or Ubuntu on my laptop I dont need to seek a particular version for my specific build of laptop. Is this different for phones?
What would happen if I took the latest Nexus 5X image and put it on my phone Oppo R7?
Thanks
Will
Howdy all!
What is the highest OS build rom that is availble for the Springboard/303? Is it as high as 4.4? Maybe even 5? I have looked but cant find a conclusive post on what is a good and stable build for this tablet. I am running 4.01 huewei image right now.
Thank you!
For the unbranded S7 it was 4.03.
I don't whether custom roms can be flashed, but these range up to 4.4 only. The late roms of Zyr3x, the last dev, who got banned on XDA for selling his roms, had severe issues, there wasn't anything useful since spring 2014. So check the old threads for hints and links, which still work.
Any suggestions for a 4.4 rom? I searched through the forums and didn't find any that seemed to apply.
Anything up to May 2014. I'm not sure, but didn't Kitkat start with 4.3.x? In May/June Zyr3x began releasing CM11s based on a new source, which would self-destruct after a couple of reboots. I never found any evidence that these roms were working longer than a couple of days for anyone,so it was not my fault, that this happened with any new version, and an early CM12 by the same dev. With CM11 even with the smallest possible GAPPS there was only 1 to 3 MB free mem on the tiny (350MB) system partition. This was probably the cause for instability.
But I'm not sure whether you could use any of these roms on the Springboard. The free S7 has no locked bootloader, probably you first have to unlock that on the Springboard. If possible.
I'm using the 4.4.4 released from zy3ex. Some time (not often) reboot and loses something in the data partition, usually some app config.
The bluetooth has problems.
Anyway I'm satisfied.
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..
