[Q]Rooting ALPS M1 (Random Chinese Nobrand phone) - CWM possible

Hello,
So i have found this ROM that i would like to flash my device with: http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/04/lolli...or-mt6572.html
I have found this information: http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/02/how-t...ek-device.html (Kingo Root & iRoot both failed)

Now i tried the MTKDroidTools program & following http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2519432 and it says this:


So, I checked out the link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...nt=5&nocache=1 ), However, I would like to know if someone can make this idiot proof (I am tech saavy but haven't had to attempt something like rooting and android device before. I simply can't stand how slow my cheap chinese phone responds to things lol). I don't want to screw something up not that i spent much on it anyways but would like to get this done on the first try.

Automated apps didn't work so if i have to do that in order to get root then so be it.
A better explanation in steps on what to do so i don't get confused and screw it up would be great.

Thanks :D

Random reboots with custom ROMs

Hi All

I've been having such trouble flashing custom ROMs on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 WiFi SM-T520. I was sucessfully able to flash TWRP 2.8.7 via odin on the device. However, I've tried several ROMs (CM11, 12, 12.1, Unofficial Liquidsmooth) each with their own issues but whichever is able to be flashed always ends up with random startup reboots. I cannot for the life of me figure out why or what is the reason. If I flash back to stock Samsung firmware, everything is fine, works perfectly but no custom firmware.

CM12.1 out right hangs during install in TWRP. The only way I was able to install it is via Cyanogen Recovery which I flashed via odin then attempted to install the rom but even still ends up in random reboots during first bootup and a few times during optimizing apps.

Just a note, I have been doing full wipes (cache, data, system) prior to flashing the ROMs. I don't know what else to do. CM12.1 works really great and smooth but cannot use it because of these random reboots. Can anyone shed some light so I can have a successful flash?

ALSO, I would like to note one suspicion I have and that is my tablet came preloaded with KOT49H.T520UEUAOD1 (T520UEUAOD1_T520XARAOD1_XAR) Samsung Firmware Build. I wonder if perhaps something with this latest build shipped is causing my troubles but am not sure.

Thanks in advanced!

Random Builds and Development

Hi all.

This thread is for random builds and development. There is no agenda other than to keep the Kindle Fire alive for the few of us that remain. This thread is not meant to support any specific ROM. I hope this is okay with the forum administrators.

With that said, please join in. We're all in this together.
