Unfortunately you didn´t see when you were backing up all of your stuff in the apps section tapping on the arrow to see which apps and what from them are included cause in SmartSwitch the part that can´t be backed up is always expressed, this means that if data can´t be then no way but if it can then must include tabs and more.

When you download the firmware for your device, after to decrypt and unzip it you will find probably 5 files, two of them are named CSC, one is CSC_HOME and the other may vary from CSC_OYM/OXC and more; as you want to preserve your data you have to use the CSC_HOME file

Hi, i'm new to XDA and ,as i can't find any rom for my very old tablet, i'm trying to learn how to make one from zero.

I have a few questions starting with do i require to upgrade kernel before installing a new android version? My tablet is a Majestic Tab 171 with Android 4.0.4 and Kernel 3.0.8+ and i want to take it to Android GO as it's light and perform well with low specs devices.

The second question is, if i need a newer kernel, how can i upgrade it?

Third question after upgrading the kernel, how can i extract the firmware from my tablet in order to upgrade it? I'm having issues MTK Droid as it's not able to build the scatter file.

If anyone need more infos about my tablet just tell me and i'll try to provide everything you need.

As for your question regarding needing a newer kernel. That depends, on a lot. eg. what version of android you are upgrading from, to.

My personal experience has been to reuse others Device, Kernel and vendor source, and apply it against different ROM sources. Specific device/kernel/Vendors will normally be for a specific version of android source. To find these, do a search on GitHub for your device, or find another custom ROM thread for your device, and they should link the source of the Kernel/Device/Vendor.

1. Obviously I'll need to root the device and then boot to recovery in order to install it. Does rooting the phone add/require a custom recovery?

2. If it does, which Recovery is recommended if I want to stay with the stock HTC ROM?

Rooting basically means what it says, giving you access to the root directory. It won't add a recovery. Since there are many ways to root your android, some methods require a recovery, but most won't.

The best recoveries to use is CWM (clock work mod) or TWRP (team win recovery project)

I want to buy a new phon

I want to buy a new phone, but only one that i can put on his system TWRP. I also heard that Samsung and Pixel phones have unlocked bootloader, so it can make it easyer to install TWRP.

So 3 limits - TWRP, Samsung, Cheap and basic

The problem is that the new Samsung basic phones are A01 & A02 etc... are new and they are not in the list of TWRP site:

Samsung

This is the Team Win website and the official home of TWRP! Here you will find the list of officially supported devices and instructions for installing TWRP on those devices.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Did you follow correctly the guide? If it is an update (it´s an old device) you should flash it also through the old recovery to fix the ramdisk issue.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
No, Samsung and Pixel phones don´t have unlocked bootloader by default but both are actually pretty easy to do it though. In some Samsung models OEM unlock is greyed out and you have to search a workaround to bypass this while in others inmediately can be done (as on my last A70)

The first I always do thinking in buy a new device is search here on XDA if there´s some development around, eg.: "Galaxy A01 XDA". I never search at first in the TWRP official site so unnoficial or even ported versions are usually released first.

Well Samsung have a lot of devices but I lastly had 3 from the A series (50, 30, 70) and they are all easy to unlock. As general rule if the OEM gives the tool and/or allows the unlock process it becames an easy thing to do, no exploit nor nothing like that needed, the only thing you need to know if it can be unlocked and if there is some interest from developers.

Hello everyone. Yes another noob here.

Spoiler content hidden.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy A70s

Any help is appreciated.

Btw this thread is super outdated none of the images are there anymore and most of the links are also dead. Some1 should remake it.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It would be useful to know what let your device in bootloop state. Without shut it off or tun it on? it´s very limited, a bootloop although the inconsistency always allows a way to go from a powered off device to other mode, say recovery or download mode.

You´ll have an approach taking a look in the time you bought the device, also checking the IMEI in some site you can give you an idea about the firmware that was released with and calculate how many updates you did. Of course none of those are exact.

Anyway in order to flash a firmware to fix your device you simply can flash the latest according your variant and country code.

Lastly I hope you can go to the stock recovery by shutting it off complletely pressing the three buttons simultaneously, when device is totally off quickly release volume down and keep pressing volume up + pwr, when device starts to vibrate in the Samsung logo release pwr button, this will bring you to recovery, you´ll see the current build number at the top of the recovery screen.
[General Questions and Answers] Ozakong:
1. Is the A50, 30,70 you had can get bootloader-unlocked using a simple Fastboot command? did you put on them TWRP, and is it possible?

2.

Which tool? and how can i know if the OEM is allowing or not?

(OEM is the company that making the phone right? for ex. samsung, apple, Huawei...?)

3.

What do you mean by interst from developers? and how can i know if it can be unlocked or not?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Samsung doesn´t allow precisely fastboot commands. The method in these 3 devices (and in all the new A series) is just a combination key hardware (vol - and vol +) at same time to connect to PC and then confirming the unlocking.

Yes OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Carriers in some countries don´t allow unlock bootloader in the case you buy a device from a carrier then ask to them. Most of devices just have fastboot commands (and codes) to perform the unlock, from what I know Asus had some years ago an app and Xiaomi has a proprietary tool to do it.

Huawei actually doesn´t allow it but with pay services can be done and Apple? never won´t.

But you don´t need to know it all by now.

It´s imposible to know which device will attract the interest from developers; while you see how they looks they see how they can be hacked. I always wait some time that a device was released and then I took a look if something happens with that device, I guess 6 month is time enough to know it.

Well, in any on your posts you are confirming that, it looks like you are not finding the right way to enter to fastboot mode, maybe the time you unlocked bootloader you sent it through commands?.

In some post you´re saying that PC doesn´t detect it but you´re not saying nothing like device is not entering to fastboot otherwise how can PC detect it?

Or how can you expect that PC detects it if it didn´t enter to fastboot mode?

And again the other way asking how are you sure that device entered to fastboot mode so you expect that PC detects it?

Are you trying to enter to fastboot mode manually through hardware buttons?

Is not there in recovery menu an option to go to fastboot (also called bootloader) mode as on others stock recoveries from other devices?

In the official site there is only available a firmware for the CPH1861 to install it through recovery https://www.realme.com/in/support/software-update you should further investigate which are the main differences between the CPH1859 and the CPH1861, if the main difference is the region from which was released then you could use it and if your recovery accept the update.
