[Q] p607t Are any of these lte roms compatible?

I have a tmo note 10.1 2014. Are any of these lte roms compatible at all??

Why yes they are I'm running xKat 5.0, SE permissive stock kernel, and TWRP (and have been since the night I got that tablet a week or so ago). SO glad that T-Mobile is carrying this hardware, AND that they're generally cool with rooting / modding etc. I even told the guy at the Tmo store my "policy" that I WILL NOT buy (well, much more trade in this case :good: ) any device that has arbitrary restrictions preventing me from gaining root (i.e. the ability to administer my own device.) He was ridiculously cool... even told me he was pretty sure it was cool if I flashed custom firmware on my new completely gratis "cellspot" router if I restored it to stock before I returned it (or likely will end up buying). SO glad Tmo is making all of these pro-consumer moves... and also that it seems to be working out for them so well (not to mention, their customers)!

I've read some of your posts around here. You mention removing a few files before flashing. Did you? If so, can share with me what/how you did?

No, I didn't... as you've probably noticed, info re: the entire process of root, recovery, custom ROM is kind of spread out around the forum. I thought that might be necessary because I recalled reading something about having to do that to flash a p605 ROM on a p607t (might have pertained to a specific ROM or something), but I asked specifically in the xKat thread to make sure and found it (well, first by just trying it - then took a look at the thread mid flash and saw that someone had responded :good that the xKat zip can be flashed as-is. Select any options you'd like in the Aroma installer and you're good to go! (You do need to flash an additional file after at least one reboot - otherwise you'll need to enter your wifi pass after each reboot... it's the OP of the ROM thread).
I can only say for certain that xKat w/ SE permissive kernel works great on the 607t... I think any p605 ROM can actually just be flashed without modification (hopefully someone will chime in and correct me if that isn't true - I think the info about modifying zips was just speculation, but was found not to actually be the case). Just make sure to make a nandroid of the stock ROM before flashing
How are you liking the new tablet? Loving it here! I hope now the T-mobile is selling it (by far the best of their Android tablets), this device will gain back some popularity that it lost from the TabPro release a few months later. Perhaps the forum will liven up a bit

I absolutely love this tablet. Im coming from a Nexus 10 and although they share the same screen resolution, this one is much faster, sleeker, brighter, and I'm loving the S pen. I had it rooted ten minutes after i brought it home. I've also recovered from a soft brick after having flashed the wrong twrp. Woops! Ive been dying to try different rom on this bad boy, hence all the questions for you. I'm gonna give xkat a go here. I'll report back to you with my results!

Nice man! Feel free to PM me if you get stuck anywhere along the way
BTW: Something I just learned, even if you select the SE permissive kernel, your kernel will be enforcing unless you manually change it, either via terminal or that SElinux Changer app (forgot exactly what it's called). I had been confused re: why in "About device" it said that the kernel was SE enforcing even though I installed the permissive one. Just FYI

Does spen work on xkat anybody revert successfully and gain the function back?

Very Interested!
I recently received a t110 as a gift and I've already tried every custom ROM available (there aren't a ton of choices at the moment it seems). I'm still not done experimenting but all the flashing has introduced some issues and I find it hard to maintain a custom ROM and working custom recovery at the same time (without ending up in a recovery bootloop). I think a tool like yours would probably be very helpful and get a lot of use from me (guaranteed). I hope it's in the works! :good:

Hey no worries . The fact that you're taking the time out of your schedule to do it at all is enough for me to say thanks and wait patiently for whenever you're able to get it all done. I've got a lot of appreciation for any and every developer who takes time out of their lives to provide people with some of their hard work for free. I think everyone should. Cheers!

Lenovo A7600 Rom - Lollipop

Ive just picked up one of these tablets and managed to root it and install custom revcovery.
To be honest I think there are zero custom ROM for this device and the supposed Lollipop ROM on those spam sites are bound to be a load of virus. I have seem three or four such 3 part download sites all of which are hidden behind a survey. All the comments on the sites are exactly the same but are posted by different people depending what site you look at which indicates they can't be trusted.
I have tweeted Lenovo to see if they plan a Lollipop update but no reply yet.
I think we need to either need to learn how to port or find a dev that can do it

There isn't a Lollipop ROM yet for A7600f. It is possible to root and get custom recovery installed but as far as I can tell there is no official lollipop update or custom ROM development at all

I checked the link and it is for the S8 smartphone which also as model number A7600. If you have that smartphone you test it at your own risk but if you are talking about a rom for A7600F tablet it won't be compatible.
As Lenovo don't seem to be official updating the A7600F tablet im guessing we need a custom rom. Unfortunately I don't think it's that popular a tablet so won't pull in developers and regrettably I'm not skilled enough to even know where to start.

I received the s8 a7600 with android 5.0 - it looks like that OS is just installed by seller, with multiple application that are a huge adware/spam generators. I tried to remove all (root/remove apps), but it destroys a little the functionality (dialer has opacity - not so easy to find what is going on, camera not working at all). But generally works. If anyone has skills - I am sure it can be easy fixed (for example install 3rdparty dialer - but that one from lenovo is pretty fine). But I think I will update phone with stock ROM, but I need to find how to do that safely and be sure I can back to the actual software...

A bit of a necro here ...
Yep, it is a long-winded guide. I wrote everything as best I could just in case.
I'd be surprised if more than 5 people are still looking to root this device. But for those folks, I updated the guide tonight.
I hadn't used the tablet much until this past week, my phone was doing better and I was only using the tablet for streaming videos as a portable TV. However my phone died and I finally got around to re-rooting the tablet (I has lost root after applying an OTA update about a year ago).
And no, there are not any custom ROMs ... no Lollipop ... no Marshmallow ... never Nougat ... for this tablet. This guide is PURELY for getting root on 4.4.
That said, here is the short version ... this MAY work on a never-rooted A10 A7600F ... it may only work to REFRESH the root. I have no good way of knowing as there isn't a chance in hell I'm going to revert everything to stock to find out
Glad to know at least 10 people got help from the guide.
UPDATE 9/22/2016:
Revised Steps are simple:
* Download Kingo Root (not King Root, that failed) APK version for Android.
* Run Kingo Root.
* If it fails, reboot, and try again (mine failed the first time)
* Assuming Kingo Root worked the second time (if not, see the original detailed steps below) ... DON'T REBOOT yet (when I did this, the root disappeared, so I had to run Kingo Root a 3rd time)
* Install a Root Checker and verify root access
* Install (first time) or uninstall and re-install (updating is fine if yours was out of date) SuperSU by Chainfire (other SuperSU may or may not work, Chainfire worked for me)
REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to verify root access (don't run Kingo Root before this) ... it should be using SuperSU to grant root, NOT Kingo
* If rooted, uninstall Kingo Root
* REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to make sure SuperSU continued to work after removing Kingo Root.

There are multiple "A7600" devices out there. This is specifically for the A7600F, aka the A10. Different device, ROMs not compatible with other A7600 devices. Lenovo can burn in hell both for their lack of updates as well as their naming conventions.

Hi all,
I have ported a CM13 ROM to this device to bring us to Android 6.0.1. if anyone is interested I will start a thread for and provide instructions and a link later today.

Does anybody know if it's usable or a wip?

Yeah... I have just flashed it, but it has been in a bootloop for 20+ minutes already. Needless to say, this is probably a test/WIP CM14.1 build that @karthick mostwanted is testing for the Galaxy Fame to see if it will work at all. From what I am aware of, later CM ROMs (CM13, 14, and 14.1) will not work as well as they should on this device as it is low-end and doesn't have the RAM or processing power that is required, however, CM13 is fairly usable from what I have tried, but I still find the CM11 (KitKat 4.4.4) ROMs to be the best. Then again, it is always good to keep and eye on and test the latest builds that the developers release, as I have seen some older devices get ROMs which shouldn't work on them because of their hardware, but do, because the developer is able to configure it to make it work.

I'm disappointed
I don't know why everyone being stalkers
The work is not even done yet and u guys are posting it here without my permissions
Yes in next build I will try to brick the device badly if this persists again
If the work is done I will share it for sure
Don't irritate developers by doing this way

Fair enough, but I assumed that since it was publicly available to view and download, then it should be okay to publicly discuss about the development surrounding the ROM/s, but I guess not.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into these builds and the continuation of custom ROM development for this device.

Is there more ROMs?

I recently purchased an tab S4 just an update from my previous Samsung tablet. I was wondering is there more ROMs for this tablet or ROMs currently in development? I noticed theres like 2 ROMs for this tablet. I have a note 8 and I'm currently running deluxerom on and it, and I really enjoy the tweaks and customization I'm able to do. I was looking for a same kind of feature for my tablet. Would greatly appreciate the answers I'm looking for. Thanks!

Pretty much zero support. You can get a few 9.0 GSI ROMs to boot, but they all have issues. Mine has been sitting around since it was purchased while still using my old 2014 model.

Some of the ones for 9 will work, but most features won't work too well, if at all.
You might be able to get another rom to work, I know I had no luck. Even trying ones with similar hardware, they all failed to even flash since the booting numbers are different.
Kind of have to be satisfied with Samsung, half baked custom roms or sell the thing.

Hey Veekay I tried it and you're right unfortunately I came across the same issue as you brother
Now I'm stuck and I need help sorting my device out, was wondering if you knew this issue or could help?
When I got the stock firmware back and then when I flash TWRP with odin after going into TWRP I get 0mb as internal
so when I format and then go back into my load up the screen after SAMSUNG says "verification failed" and then reset
on the bottom. I tried other options as well. Without even wiping on TWRP the devices boots up into the setup wizard for the firmware fine
but after I wipe TWRP so I can get access to my internal drive my samsung boots into that verification reset screen. Got any clue as to how I can
resolve this issue? Thanks a bunch!

Have you tried just reloading the latest stock firmware from scratch?

Yup, its unfortunate that there isn't much community support for this device. The Tab S4 is Project Treble supported and a few GSI ROMS do work. But as others have said they are unstable and not for use as a daily driver. We have a few discussion threads here talking about them.

and remember ! Some GSIs roms maybe are not compatible with some devices! you can ask for your device on each thread

Sorry,but I don't understand what do you mean " without stock rom and only twrp"...
you can install a Gsi rom, with two ways
Via TWRP, or Via Fastboot : https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/ (Tab S4 is a-only arm64)
for any other question, it is better to ask in the thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...vice-development/aosp-9-0-phh-treble-t3831915
(read carefully in OP & you can post,every single question there for your device,and you will get certainly help from the developer or from any other user..)

You are going to have to just wipe it and start over from square one, unless you made a TWRP backup before starting all of this.
Download and flash the latest stock rom from recovery and then you can load twrp again.

I was looking at the possibility of using GSI's on some devices, and while they can offer new life to older devices, they're not entirely stable all the time unless you're willing to make your own changes. I know Lineage has made some excellent progress, but it's not fullproof yet and I wouldn't try it unless you're willing to not use your device as a daily use device.
I had an extra T-Mobile Revvlry which is basically a rebranded Moto g7 Play that I installed the Lineage GSI image and it works fairly well. However, this is more the exception to the rule and Moto devices, I feel, are far simpler in design vs certain Samsung devices. It also had a ton of trial and error involved for me to get it up and running properly.

Is it possible as the s4 becomes older, more people buy it and Samsung stops releasing official updates that someone will come along and create a ROM for it? Or is it more like Samsung locked the bootloaders and its close to impossible to write a ROM for it? Is it still possible to root the s4?

( Newest Odin v3.14.4 is there : https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.14.4.zip )

Thanks. I took a quick peak at the roms and kernels in the roms and kernels forum and they are pretty much all abandoned.
Someone did mention that the LOS 16.0 and ArrowOS GSI's work alright but are a bit buggy.

samsung,maybe at the end of july to give the upgrade to android 10....it is very likely to happen I think
yes,all Gsi Roms still have various problems unfortunately...
my opinion is: stay to stock rom for now....you can "uninstall" many applications if you want & without root, via "samsung package disabler"(paid) from playstore, or with this way:

also,you can Install "NiceLock Downloader Companion App" ,to add some features on your device : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/nicelock-module-download-links-module-t3923844
with this way I operate my device until now..
