Slidepad 704CET JB 4.2.2

CAUTION: USE THIS ROM AS YOUR OWN RISK.......Be sure you have the official rom in case it is not working for you. It appears that even though you have the same tablet Reference, depending on when you buy it, hardware might be a bit different and most likely you will take the risk of having a unusable Touch screen or wifi...
It works for me on my SP704CET bought in France. (I use LSMOD and here the loaded driver: mxc622x, rtl8150, mcs 7830, qf9700, asix, sun5i_csi, gc0308, camera, cedarx, mali, gsl1680, gt811, byd693x,ZET622X, ssd253x, ft5x_ts)
Hi all,
If anyone is interrested in J.B.4.2.2 for Memup SlidePad 704 CET (Only CET, I did not test on 704 CE.
I can post the rom image created... (I will post it later on tonight)
Leave me a private message if you need it.
Content of the ROM
- Rom basically design for Manta13
- Your device will have MID13 as name (No more CET704)
- Jelly Bean 4.2.2
- Fast rom (Menu and all are way faster than 4.1.1 original firmware)
- CWM mod recovery working out of the box
- Root device with Play store.
This ROM come as east country language first, you need to go to setting icon, the language (Icon with a White A letter) and the first option will be language, select yours.
to check you table model, look on the back of the table, even if on the back it says 704CE, you need to look at the white sticker that will say if it is a CE or CET.
As usual, to flash the image, go to boot loader and use livesuite 1.7.
Procedure on the SP704CET with livesuit:
- completly turn off the tablet, unplug cable
- start livesuite and select the downloaded image file
- keep the VOL- button pressed and plug the usb cable
- without releasing the VOL- button press the Power button 6 times.
- You should hear windows sound saying a USB device has been plugged
- if windows request it, install the driver from Livesuitefolder\usbdriver
- Livesuite should automatically start the flashing process.
- when prompted, "Format device" press YEs. (It might take a minute)
- When it s 100% you tablet should reboot.
Done.

Note: I did not invent anything, thanks to the good work of MANTA team members. I just found out this rom works, I just had to modify the touchscreen drivers and idc files.
Cheers

I managed to create an other rom:
link:
Linked removed, this rom is bogus. Use the 1st one, i will try to update it again when i get back
Same version as the previous one with:
- Change to build.prop to match the tablet name 704CET (previous rom was detected as MANTA MID13, from the originial rom)
- Modified boot animation
- added some JellyBam tweak and application (if needed you can installed them from the apk files located in /system/app)
- Add Jellybam static and dynamic wall paper
- other small modifications
Let me know if you like it.
Small hick, you will need to reinstall firefox, the version I add to the rom is not working after first boot
go to /system/app and install jellybam launcher etc...
I hope you will like it, this is only my second rom cooking
Cheers

Guys,
Can you let me know what do you think of this rom? any customization idea I might integrate in a newer version?
Also let me know if that works for you..
if someone has a 704CE and can test the rom.... I can make another verison for 704 CE if you letme know the driver you need (Use an original rom, install any terminal emulator and run lsmod and post the result, just the loaded module names.)
Thanks.

Arf, did you do the "format mode" in live suit? If not try it, latest rom may have a different nand mapping.

2 thing comes to my mind. First, try to restore with the original firmware first, make sure it, works. Then try to reapply the rom ( use the first one i post, i found out the second one is bogus and my tablet is restarting by herself from time to time.
From the screen shot it looks like your tablet doesnot have same nand mapping as mine. Try the first rom and letmme know. Cheers

No results not working.
I find this 4.2.2 A13_86VS_M758C1_1305007_20130503 from MANTA that works perfect.
The only thing is donot have CWM.

You can read the first post of this thread, basically no problem, you can do it whenever as you have to switch to Bootloader mode.
It will replace your current rom and delete everything you have on the tablet.
Good luck

Can you repost the link please ? Thank you.

you can use the Faaast JB custom rom with the correct driver
Hi, I cannot test this rom on 704CE as I do not have this tablet anymore. Also, this rom is for 704 CET so it will not work on CE. This is a driver issue... so the rom should install fine but you might have no TOuchscreen or no Wifi.....
If you know about replacing a driver in Android, you might want to try it (make sure you have the original rom just in case)
I manage to do this driver thing on my 704 CET tablet and it works well. you can help yourself with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42274265
you can even use this rom (Fast jelly bean custom rom) and download the needed driver... (For your information, I have tested this fast JB rom on my 704 CET with the appropriate driver and it works fine, and it is super fast) . If you want to know the driver use on your tablet, run a adb shell and type lsmod (You will have a list of loaded/used driver.)
My advice, if you dont know how to use adb command, do not try it.
I hope this will help.
Best regards.

//I AM STILL TYPING AND WILL TAKE TIME << SO DONT REPLY
i had typed and mistakenly deleted the tab before clicking post :|...i will delete these two lines once i am done with everything//
guys!
something we are all familiar with on galaxy grand forum is spamming!
indeed there are still many users/new users who post WRONG POSTS in WRONG SECTIONS..
still u can find questions which are off-topic/not related to forum/which have been answered several times/which have been asked several times by making new threads etc.
it not only takes up unnecessary space on server, but also lowers the value of GALAXY GRAND DUOS community..
developers getting pissed by day to day ETA's and helpers pissed by posting same and same answer, to several people !
i do know that xda's search option on top right might be not that accurate for some here,
SO
here i am here making an illustrative thread,(after discussing and opinions from many on xda)
WHICH will not only help you to solve ur problems regarding roms, but also day to day frequently asked multiple times answered questions....
its possible that it does not contain everything that u need , but seriously guys, it will at least decrease number of SPAMS on our threads...
all problems will be mostly illustrated below.........
just read it once please before posting in all other forums....
Few Information better read before any Posting!! (most Important..)​1. AOSP based Rom/ Non touchwiz Rom (cm11/carbon,resurection remix, paranoid android,Pac-man ,Omni,and others)DO NOT support DUAL SIM Functionality..(it Requires Broadcomm Specific Codes which are not released as Open Source)...
you want Dual Sim , be On any touchWiz based Rom(Stock, Gennxt , etc)..
2. Difference between Touchwiz based Roms and AOSP Based Roms of our Device
1. AOSP Roms DON'T HAVE Dual sim functionality.
2. these are small in size as have only basic android Framework and Do not include bloatwares.
(Roms size~198mbs+)
3. AOSP Roms don’t have TW features, (but have their own**)!
4. they are Highly Customizable and meant for performance.
5. Lower RAM Consumption compared to TouchWiz.​
1. Touchwiz Roms HAVE dual sim functionality
2. TouchWiz Roms are Larger in size
because of heavy Framework and Bloatwares*
(ROM Size~844mb+)
3. Touchwiz Got its own specific Features and its own apps for Music/camera etc.
4.they got polish and looks (in own way).
5. High RAM consumption Compared to AOSP. ​ * Custom Roms based on Touchwiz are mostly Bloats free.
**Features varies from Rom to Rom.....get a quicky info in Roms Section!​
Recovery Mode and Download Mode
recovery mode- it is a mode used for multipurpose uses.......described below..
switch off the device..hold (vol. up +powe+menu) combination...and let device start..once device start...remove hands atleast from power button else it will switch it on again!!!
How to operate it???
use volume buttons to navigate up and down...
use power button to select!
stock recivery(by default samsung recovery has limited options below....
-reboot system now
(Reboots the system).
-apply sdcard:update.zip
(Install diverse updates like themes, custom roms etc.)
-wipe data/factory reset
(Deletes all the apps, data and system settings(Files on the external SD-card will stay untouched)
-wipe cache partition
(Only wipes (formats) /cache partition (sometimes used as temp storage for updates, market downloads, etc) it hasn't anything common with Dalvik-cache which is in /data by default and it implies that the following boot after wiping cache partition will not be any longer than usually.)
beacuse stock recovery is limited.....custom recoveries are important which have got special features like backup/restore...and many more..
I use CWM...and it is easy to use..i will tell in later section
Download mode- it is used to flash firmware by Odin...
Combination - (vol. down+menu+power button)
once it boots ..there will be a screen ..
volume up to confirm that u want to go ahead and flash by Odin.
volume down to backoff and restart if u did it by mistake....​ using ODIN
(lifeline of Samsung firmware installers )
it is really simple app fpr windows PC to flash firmwares/kernels/recoveries etc.
when you brick your device, dont panic and post anywhere...just re-install the firmware by Odin for developer's sake
it will remove everything and simply will install the Samsung's firmware and will make your device like a fresh new one!
an app for saving asses of guys like me who unwillingly/unknowingly brick there device!!
Odin download
link~ http://bartztech.com/wp-content/uploads/YP-G1/Restore/Odin3v1.7.zip
Odin Prerequisites:-
When you need to flash using Odin, you need the Samsung drivers, so that Odin can detect your device while attached to PC via. USB cable....
- Samsung USB Drivers
linky~ http://www.mediafire.com/download/hzlnda0l5t8qyes/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones(3).exe
download drivers
remove old ones installed by control panel(if any)
reboot
install the drivers given
reboot
ready to be used
A stock Samsung USB cable (it seems to give better result than other USB cable bought on third party sellers.)
Flashing by Odin
Note- An Odin flashable file is supposed to be in .tar or .tar.md5 format only.
1.Run Odin.
2. Put your device in download mode(switch off then press vol down+power+menu button altogether.....once it starts..leave buttons else will switch off again coz u are holding power button remember !!)
3.You should see a yellow/blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying ready. that is your device ID actually.. It means that your device is ready to be flashed! (It is important because it means that device connected is recognized by Odin )
4.Go into the PDA section and take your .tar file.(if single file is given.)
if multiple .tar files are given then put CSC in CSC...phone/modem in PHONE section respectively
5. if there is also a pit file then make sure that re-partition box at left is UNCHECKED>!!
6. meditate for a while and ensure once again hat files u have selected are for galaxy grand duos only !!
obvious if you flash s3 files by Odin..you will end up in boot loop..
7. hit start and pray to god that all goes well *kidding*..it will
8.When it's finished, it should say that it's done with a green box saying PASS..if it says fail.....i.e. your USB is not accurately detected...or is detected but disconnects in between.... it happens sometimes if it is not THAT GOOD usb cable...dont panic..remove battery and repeat all steps again!! .just dont let it touched even by air if that happens..keep trying and it will work...once work is done..the first thing u do is get a good USB cable (its i am talking about extreme cases , there will be no problem else )
once it is done , device will be rebooted ( if reboot is checked in left box(u will get what i am talking about once you open app and see by yourself)
Note:- if you have flashed a firmware..first boot might take time from 3-10 minutes...just keep patience and wait....
if still it doesnt start after 10 minutes ....remove battery...re-insert...go in recovery mode..clear data/format and clear cache..now reboot..wait again.... and you are good to go
​ ROOTING and CWM
basic reason why most of people come on XDA is how to root!
thanks to @chotu222 who already have made a thread so that people can follow and acquire what they wished!!
i will be short and still descriptive!!!
(as it is already mentioned in forums and its pain to type so much :/)
PROCEDURE:
simply for quick pickers.. install CWM and then flash superUser through it!!
is it really that difficult to do??
there is a cwm given with SeLinux support(which is must for installing kitkat roms ), so why not just install that CWM and be carefree (whatever u flash, it wont give any problem)
simple two steps.....
Step 1: installing CWM...
here is SeLinux supported CWM file..(thanks to @pawitp \m/ )
linky~ http://goo.im/devs/pawitp/i9082_cm11.0/recovery_20131210.tar
download it and flash via odin
NOTE- while flashing by Odin , untick auto reboot Option(because rebooting device makes stock recovery to over-write over CWM recovery....)
once the flashing process is done....simply remove and re-insert battery, and go to Recovery Mode, flash the Fix-Recovery.zip given below...
that will fix your problem
Fix-Recovery link- http://www.mediafire.com/download/74mmd1x4af6hlo4/Fix-Recovery.zip.
Step 2: installing superSU: SuperSU allows for advanced management of Superuser access rights for all the apps on your device that need root.
linky~ http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip
just flash the superSU by CWM.....
reboot the device...
and your device is now rooted(check it if there is a superSU app in ur app drawer or not).
that is it!!
that's all it takes to root your device...
just 5 minutes :/
NO..You wont loose any data..its just that you simply installed an app in system root directory
​
Custom roms
Custom Roms are customized Roms for devices..providing us with various different options/advantages over stock Rom what we have Pre-installed by company!..it could be a de-bloated same stock rom w or w/o extra features,/ a whole new version of android/ a ROM based with UI built for different mobile...
simply..there are many Roms and the list is actually long..i cant simply explain but still tried to....
They are mostly based on Aosp/Aokp format(in simple words, with look of nexus UI), or OEM's based(in simple words like Samsung's touch wiz, htc's sense)..
every rom has its unique specialty..unique UI and Unique features.
OEM's are heavily programmed and sized, bloated with factory apps pre-included..
that is the reason that nexus based Roms (~250Mbs+) are twice smaller than the official firmwares(~800Mbs+)!
thanks to all respected Developers who did put such their efforts, and have provided us with so many ROMs !
i am enlisting all ROMs down here with short descriptions, so that you can find everything under one thread here!
AOSP BASED ROMs-
Kitkat (android 4.4.2)
CyanogenMod 11-
thanks to @pawitp for developing this Rom. i dont think i need any explaination for CyanogenMod
its basic AOSP Rom based on Kitkat(4.4.2)...used as base rom for many Custom Roms, It is considered as standard Rom by many Users...Good battery backup,performance and less RAM consumption is speciality of this Rom..it don't implement much extra features except basics, as try to be as near to Nexus stock rom!
developer is always trying to update it as soon as CyanogenMod releases any update...
pawitp has also given delta update Option if you are using limited mbs and internet..its like update and patches which are directly supposed to be flashed (and are <20mbs)..just the modifications made are given , so that you dont download the whole rom...
NOTE- just read FAQ section in cm11 thread for more information on Delta updates.

​
Carbon Rom
One of the most appreciated Rom Built for galaxy Grand i9082 @xenon92 did put some serious green lantern efforts here (the reason why it has got amazing battery backup and performance)
personally, have used many Roms built for the device,but carbon Rom was the one with least problem when Run by ART compiler..
not only its RAM usage decreased from avg. 300 to 210, but also it supports Gapps in ART (while many Roms conflicts with gapps and give FCs in ART)
it has got many add-on features then just plain kitkat Roms...With the possibility of Halo getting Implemented it Near future(Depends on Carbon Team), lockscreen blur, notifications on lockscreen and Active display comprised as its one of good add on features, there is a Good battery backup (actually good,), with performance..
just give it a shot and u will love it

SlimKat
One of best thing about @xenon92 is that once he starts rolling new roms, he just cant stop ....
so again, introduced slimRom with kitkat power..
slimRoms are most light weight code based Roms , for performance!..they don't add any extra features(Halo and all) because performance is MUST
good when it comes to battery backup
just install and u will never regret it

@raghavsharmaxda you are posting in the wrong section!!!!
Post this in the general section.

The main reason I postes this here is coz many do come here for FAQ thread..
So its better that they read it here near FAQ thread (so that ppl think twice before posting noon kinda qsns in FAQ too and helpers do save sometime !!).
Still if its a trouble I will surely move it..
Thanks for advice...

+1...i also somehow feels the same......with grand becoming older and older down the line.......there wud be probably more activities in Q & A section with no more stock firmware upgrade and amazing devs developing new roms ( hopefully ) and new probs wud arise if any......

I also suggest adding site-specific Google search, it's a lot better than XDA search. It should help a lot of newbs.
Add "site:xda-developers.com" after the keywords i.e. "battery drain problem site:xda-developers.com" and type it into Google search. It also works on other sites, not just XDA.

Mira, for Z5s Mini the tools are diferent, as you said this is diferent phones, diferent hardware. I'm using Z5S Mini So I can help you.
For Z5S Mini you need :
1) ADB Drivers - adb_drivers_z5s_mini_install
2) Root - AnzhiRoot
3) Get to Recovery - z5s_mini_Recovery
4) Install Gapps - gapps-jb-20130812-signed_2 .
I will send you Download link to these tools in a PM, because I can't post outside links.

There are pictures of this recovery in English, but you must find it in GOOGLE! Not only to wait someone to tell you. But because I'm a good person I will tell you - The "INSTALL FROM SD" is the SECOND option, and The WIPE/FACTORY resset is the THIRD OPTION.
First option is REBOOT DEVICE.
Good luck.

Hallo

We hope. Anyway there is an available function on ZTE Z5S mini (the "Screen projection") which permits to send a
stream video to the monitor via WiFi (i don't know if the audio stream too and i don't know if the mirroring is available),
i think that it uses DLNA (more likely) or Miracast technology, but i'm not sure to 100%, can someone confirm it?

hello guys. i have the huawei honor 2 phone and im thinking of upgrading it to this or to nubia z5s but i got a few question.
does phone mini have goriila glass also like nubia z5s?
how is battery life?
how much screen time do you get at maximum with brightness on lowest?
can you replace battery?
does zte nubia z5s mini have slowmotion camera like in z5s here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLS4fwFLwNs
the only things i dont know why to take nubia z5s or z5s mini is
reasone to take z5s mini has micro sd card whitch is great + its cheaper + snapdragon 600 is fast enought to run anything that's in the playstore (am i wrong about this?)
reasone to take z5s regular is = better screen with less battery draining + bigger battery + faster cpu+infrared but higher price and sd card only 16gb
whats really importent is to know how is battery life ... thanks!

Fota
Hi,
I also have same problem now, and I have no idea how to go further from the chinese recovery. Are there some different ways to update the firmware? Fota remembers me often that I should update, and it's annoying... Someone help us, please!

I have smartphone zte z5s mini nubia with custom ROM miui 4.2.28.
Every time I slide the bar for answering an incoming call and I say "YES...", the caller can not hear my "Yes" and I can not hear him/her for the same short time, as well.We can hear each other after 3 seconds.
What should I do?
Thanks

i got this phone today but could not for the life of me get any recovery to work i updated the adb n everything but all i get is a black screen no lights nothing can anyone help me cos otherwise im gunna have to send it back

wifi issue, I need the files in /persist
I have a fully functional zte nubia z5s mini ( except from wifi and bt) rooted, english CWM, latest MIUI. Formatting /persist partition before installing MIUI caused the issue, there is a relevant thread explaining it all at bbs.nubia.cn/thread-112804-1-1.html (understood it using google translate).
To fix it I just need some files that were in that partition (nothing special, can be viewed with any root explorer) and get them back. Re-flashing any ROM wont do the job because that's the essence of the specific partition, to contain some files that wont be replaced by flashing a rom from recovery as I discovered by similar threads at xda for other phones.
The thing is that I cant download the files from nubia forum because to get the link I must register and registration does not work for me without any apparent reason.
Could someone make a copy of its own files ? There is nothing personal in there or phone specific / unique .. Net / BT drivers, and configuration files
As I said, nothing special needed, just copy all files / folders from /persist and make a zip .. I guess a backup from CWM would work also, never tired it (never needed to restore anything till now)
The issue is very annoying because apart from WiFi problem the phone is fully functional .. I know whats the problem, the files I need and the procedure (a simple copy) but after 3-4 days of searching have not been able to find the files ..
Could somebody please help by sending me its own files from /persist ?

Hi mrasnik0,
in this package there is the file "z5s_mini_Recovery.exe" that installs the CWM Revovery v6.0.4.5.
I would install a CyanogenMOD 11 KitKat on my Z5S mini but i need for a greater version of CWM recovery,
do you know if is available a CWM recovery version greater than 6.0.4.5 ?
...Update...
I would install the CyanoGenMod 11 4.4.2 version but to do this i
need TWRP Recovery first (because CWM Recovery can't flashes Android version 4.4.2),
can anyone tell me how can i do?
PS: i have downloaded TWRP Recovery (TWRP_kk_z5smini_v3_fix) through "tdbeta.cn" (i'm not able to link the thread) anyway
i follow the instruction but recovery mode is always set on CWM, i can't set TWRP as default recovery,
moreover ROM Manager doesn't detect TWRP Recovery but detects only CWM Recovery and Stock recovery
What i can do?
Thanks for answers
Matteo

[Q] Custom Rom for SM-T325

same, waiting for CM or OmniROM.
cant stand TouchWiz.

no one dares?
Enviado desde mi SM-T325 mediante Tapatalk

I think it is due to lack of information. I read in the Clean ROM thread that it should be simple with most of the hardware being the same, but the dev has the WIFI version, so he would need someone to provide the LTE mount points and willing to test

I'm pissed all Samsung crap they put in rom. I do not buy any samsung device, until it has good support on XDA!

I havent see any roms for LTE version, do you think we will get anyone to develop that sort of rom?

I have a very basic rom I was working on until I broke my screen that u guys can try...nothing but the knox apps have been removed so anything else u don't want will need to be deleted directly from the zip or uninstalled after flash (I'm sure u can find a list of whats safe to remove somewhere on the site). This package has been deodexed & zipaligned but that's about it...u will probably need to re-root after u flash & also MAY need to wipe data but that shouldn't be necessary. For those of u brave enough to test...could someone please check the status of selinux after they flash & report back if enforcing is still set or not. As an added bonus...4 way multiwindow also known as quad view from the note pro 12.2 has been enabled, along with lockscreen shortcuts as well as multiuser & I also added the assistive widget flashlight back but it only shows up in the widget drawer NOT in the homescreen add widget list for some reason
I AM NOT RESPOSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE OR DELETION OF DATA...BE SURE TO BACKUP BEFORE U BEGIN!

i9195L - black edition

Hi,
I did not find much informations on the i9195L (note the "L") so i am creating a new thread.
I bought and successfully flashed (using cmw as recovery) a few i9195.
Today I got this new i9195l - black editions for my sun.
It has 4 cores (arm cortex @ 1.20) and uses an adreno 306 gpu.
Looks good except I am unable to flash it:
-put it in download mode
-send the cwm 6.0.5.1
-reboot in recovery mode
-tells me "could not boot in normal mode"
-knox warranty is now void (as expected)
Tried to flash a few times, with or without reboot, with or with f reset time, nothing works
Something which seems to be new : it mentions "qualcomm secureboot: enable (csb)".
Any idea?
I would really like to flash a cyanogen 12.x like I did on my other s4 mini phones...
Regards,
Erwan

Bump. I'm interested too, I want to buy one but I'm not sure about the modding possibilities. You might be wrong about the L though. I found a model with the same specs, but it's an i9195i.

Right ! this is an i not an l (for letter).
seems it also goes under the name S4 mini plus ? see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62212646&postcount=51 .
I believe we need a recovery built for this device specific kernel, a specific CM version?
more information here : http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/110203-gt-i9195i-supported/ .
Seems some guys managed to root it and also that there is a twrp variant.
My concern with flashing a new image is it wont be signed correctly and the secureboot will reject it.
Or will a custom recovery take the secureboot away?
