Disclaimer: I am not responsible for what YOU do to your tablet...
You assume all responsibility and risk associated with flashing any ROM. Make a backup!!!
ICS 4.0.3 for our xPAD-70 (Type 1 iDx7) and xTAB-70 (Type 2 iDx7).
I must say, that these roms very fast and stable.
What's Working:
camera
touchscreen
physical buttons
wifi
audio, ringtones, notifications, alarms
microphone
root
adb
sdcard
sensors
usb host
everything
Install instruction/download links:
1. Connect the home charger to the Tablet PC. Charge the battery.
2. Download the compressed file to your PC/Laptop.
3. Create an empty folder on your desktop PC / laptop. Extract the downloaded .zip file into this empty folder.
4. Copy the four extracted files ("update.zip", "uImage_recovery", "uImage", "u-boot-512M-UartB.bin","factory_update_param.aml") to the root folder of an empty microSD card (2GB or higher).

Sry, i corrected, the second is the xTAB-70 ICS 4.0.3

I can't get BBC I player or Netflix to run with this rom. I get sound but no picture. Does anyone know why. Avi files run fine. Otherwise the from is very good. Been following this on the Hungarian forum but relying on google translate. Only other issue is the inertia scrolling.
Cheers carrotts
Sent from my xPAD-70 using xda premium

I have no idea about Netflix. Is seems to be working with CM nightlies. There is a XDA thread about netfix. I hope there is a solution for this.
This is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
The inertia scrolling fix appears in the next rom update. I hope.

Hello,
Do you have copy of ROM for similar device xTAB-70i ?
I am looking for Wayteq_xTAB_70i_20120620.zip.

Root+Xposed+Busybox for Bootloader Locked Moto X ATT/VZW

Only fresh flashed bootloader locked XT1058 AT&T - ROM LPAS23.12-21.7-1, and XT1060 VZW - ROM LPAS23.12-39.7-1 are supported!
See archive content for instructions. Time to install ~20 min. If you experience problems after Android boot, like not working buttons or quick settings, wipe cache + data partitions. Don't update SuperSU (disable auto updates), it won't work. Later I'll post complete debloated ROMs with fresh SuperSU version, and simplify instructions. Be informed also, that this method doesn't give you read-write rights like unlocked bootloader. You may read and write having root-rights, but only till a restart or shutdown occurs, and every change will be undo by the Qualcomm protection (like HTC' s=on).
At the moment patch includes:
SuperSU 2.65 Free
Xposed Framework v86 (installer, modules)
Busybox 1.25.0.YDS, path /system/xbin/busybox
Download
P.S. Install only on indicated above ROM versions, and it's obvious that you must have enough theory knowledge and practical experience to make use of 9008 patch, so I'm not responsible for any consequences, etc. Greets go to: CrashXXL (method inventor), Sabissimo (our former OP), and serg_gangubas (ROM guru).
==============================================================================================
31.07.2017 - Full ROM Patch for Bootloader Locked Moto X ATT/VZW/etc
Based on the same principle, and not depend on system partition content, so it suits any bootloader locked Moto X Gen1 ATT/VZW (possibly any model, besides 1049 RepW / 1055 US Cell), but takes about 4 hours to be done - prepare for that, 100% battery level only!
This full ROM patch includes:
SuperSU 2.82 Free
Xposed Framework v87 (installer, modules)
Busybox 1.26.2, path /system/xbin/busybox
ViperFX 2.5.0.5 - sorry needs polishing, removed now (
Gallery and Camera not depend on Moto services
Gboard instead AOSP Keyboard. If it eats too much RAM, see Simple Keyboard
GAPPSes updated. Use command like adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.blahblah.blah to block any unwanted app or service
ES File Explorer Free Edition (a clone, you can disable and install yours )
"Jedy" gesture
AdBlock support (effect lasts till the 1st reboot yet, I'll think about make it constant). Please, choose /data/hosts instead of /system/etc/hosts
ROM debloated, but not deodexed.
Download
Instruction
Be careful, phone will be WIPED then flashed in 9008 "brick" mode (CrashXXL idea). Before you start install Moto drivers, latest RSD Lite, and fully charge the battery.
1) Download and unpack zip on С: (or any), open Python27, launch RUN_path.bat (needs to be launched only single time), install driver QHSUSB_driver.exe, and launch file _Moto.X.BootLocked.*.exe (where * - is desired ROM).
2) Go into fastboot mode, execute RUN_blbroke.bat. Screen gets black, Device Manager in Windows finds "QHSUSB_DLOAD", and installs it as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM*)". If it doesn't install, google for Windows driver digital signature disable.
3) Now launch RUN_root.bat, and see that patching process took start.
4) A small patch *SPEAKERS.BOOST.exe (if exists) boosts both speakers' volume.
P.S. Please, don't flash anything extra into the phone. In case of trouble, all you need is inside this folder. Just make it work.
To make "Battery OK" in fastboot use fastboot_cyclecharge.bat
Completely drained out battery causing "USB input device" needs disassembly of the phone to charge externally.
In case Titanium Backup shows error "Batch backup interrupted: insufficient free storage space", delete default backup folder, and make a new:
Titanium Backup > Menu > Preferences > Backup folder location > Storage Provider > DocumentProvider storage > Show Internal Storage > Internal Storage > Select Internal Storage > Create the folder > Use the current folder. Done!
Notes for myself: Viper, force wipe, readme.txt, volume patch, Adblock, advanced debloat

Debloated, rooted, lightweight ROM - soon! )
PUBLISHED. Sorry, took long time.

As soon as I can actually get 5.1 flashed I'll try this.
Though I'm afraid I'll have to try to go to stock and use sunshine first, still have a locked BL.
But this is great, I didn't expect root so soon.

Wait wait... If you can have now possibility to unlock bootloader - go for it immediately! You will have normal FULL root-rights (SuperSU 2.49). Don't install 5.1, if you plan to unlock, because Sunshine app (25$) works only on 4.4.2 Android.
This topic is to help those AT&T users that are boot locked forever (who missed out possibility to unlock on 4.4.2 by proceed to 5.1) to give them READ-ONLY root. Yes, it's limited, but anything at least.

I guess anyone on 4.4.4 today. There is no possibility to use Sunshine anymore.
Anyway spasibo za method

Ahh, if I don't have to be BL unlocked that's great lol.
I haven't read too much into the 5.1 updates or sunshine for that matter.
I've been on krypton 1.4.1 since it was released, and I haven't been able to successfully upgrade to any 5.1 roms yet.

Works great!
Works great for me on Windows 10 RTM 64-bit! Thanks a ton, I was waiting for a post like this.
I only had 3 minor hiccups:
1. RSD Lite gave me an error about "getvar", so I had to go into flashfile.xml in the ROM zip and remove the line that said getvar
2. I had to reboot to disable driver signature enforcement twice for some reason because Windows Update
3. The run-root.bat got stuck on "Executing..." because I installed the wrong driver (the correct file is qcusb.inf when installed from device manager -> browse my computer for driver software -> let me pick from a list -> all devices -> have disk)
Otherwise, everything runs just as well as KitKat, including Xposed.

Hehe got to love step 9

System Write

First, never quote op. It takes way to much space and is redundant.
Second, to get write off we would need to some how either start a custom kernel some magical way or disable it via a kernel mod like htc guys did. Another way, which was done before was to burn the efuse but kernel has been patched since then.

Need some help, I did all steps until step 9. I installed the QHSUSB_DLOAD driver manually, and I can see 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)' showed in my Device Manager, but when I run 'RUN_Root.bat', I got this

Hello.
I did everything as instructed, but eventually got the screen "no command".
The only thing I did not flash rom - a month ago updated by an OTA to 5.1, thought it was not necessary.
Factory reset does not help.
Advise something.
In the end, everything worked, thank you))

It works
It works great! Thank you very much! ATT xt1058.

Follow the OP instruction EXACTLY, no exceptions!
If you got your current 5.1 through AT&T OTA, it's not enough for root patching procedure. A full RSD 5.1 official SBF flash over is required.

Could someone please do a video on this. I'm having a little trouble.

trying to root Samsung Galaxy On5 G550T1 - TWRP, CF Autoroot FAILS

I can't figure out why my attempts to root my new On5 continue to fail halfway through.
I've tried different Odin versions...
can anyone offer some help, please?
can I use the AP_G550T1UVU1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 stock rom...?
thanks for anyone's kind help...
Glenn

I just rooted my G550T1 (On5) yesterday - Odin/TWRP/SuperSU
I just went through this process for virtually the same phone. [G550T1UVU2AQC4; For your exact Model's S/W# like this, look in battery compartment or the box the phone came in]
Despite being over 6 months old, I figured I may as well post the information for future onlookers. I could have used this info yesterday.
For this post specifically regarding "failing half way through," I would hazard to guess that the firmware already installed on the phone is slightly more up-to-date than what you're trying to flash. Either that, or you don't have the right settings turned on to allow Odin to flash over the AP. Plus, how were you planning on rooting by flashing over the stock firmware in the first place? lol
Either way, I recommend just making sure what I'm about to say is what you've done so far.
Disclaimer: Rooting your phone, even attempting to, or using rooted apps can cause irreparable damage and turn it into a brick. Always make sure what you are using the root for is compatible with your model!!!
Notes:
- For rooting the Galaxy On5, Odin is merely to flash the recovery software to the device. The recovery software is where you install the root.
- For extra precaution, my method does not involve the external SD card. They seem to cause random issues for the first boot after rooting.
If you insist on doing it with the external SD card installed, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO APPS ALREADY TRANSFERRED TO THE EXTERNAL SD CARD!
So to start....
Requirements:
Windows PC with open USB port to download files and transfer the files [Back USB ports are more reliable for PC Desktops; All USB ports are fine with a laptop]
USB-A to USB-B cable [Stock micro-USB cable]
Samsung On5 [Recommended ~100% battery]
A little patience
Galaxy On5 Settings:
#1 - Enable Developer Options
Settings > About device > Build Number - Keep tapping the Build Number until it says you're enabling Developer options, and continue tapping until you succeed.
#2 - OEM Unlock and USB Debugging
Settings > Developer options > Make sure both "OEM Unlock" and "USB Debugging" are turned on
#3 - Enable Unknown Sources
Settings > Lock screen and security > Make sure "Unknown sources" is turned on
Downloads: [4]
Samsung USB Driver - Link to Samsung's download for their Android USB driver for mobile phones. [Install regardless of whether you can already transfer from PC to Android]
http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
Odin - Link to an XDA Forum Post which, unlike most, has kept updated and added all versions. [I recommend to use the most up-to-date version; Remember to click the file name of the attachment to download]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
Extract the Odin zip file to an easily accessible folder like "My Documents" and/or create its own file "Odin"
TWRP - Link to the always most up-to-date version for the Galaxy On5. [I don't recommend other recoveries; This is simple and reliable]
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxyon5tmobile.html
Don't unzip TWRP. Leave file zipped as-is and move it to the same folder as Odin; and/or create its own Sub-Folder for organization "Documents\Odin\TWRP"
SuperSU - Link to the SuperSU version I used that worked smoothly.
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip
Link to the official website for an updated version. [I would just use what you know works though; From the official page, follow the most recent SuperSU release link and find the .zip file]
https://chainfire.eu/
Where to put SuperSU
- Connect PC to Galaxy On5 [After installing USB Driver]
- Open the file where your SuperSU download is.
- Right-click SuperSU > Click Copy
- Now navigate to your On5 [Should be available in the left panel; if not go to "My Computer" and it should pop up]
- Find, or create, a folder you can easily remember inside the phone's internal memory [i.e; "Phone\Android" or create your own folder "Phone\TWRP"]
- Right click while inside the designated folder and paste the SuperSU zip
Time to start rooting:
Double check that android's settings, and the rooting files are in the right places.
Download Mode:
- Disconnect from your PC, and completely shut down your On5.
- After it is off; Press and hold first the Volume Down Button + The Home Screen Button + Then The Power Button.
- Hold the combination until download mode pops up
- Press Volume Up
- You are now ready for Odin
Odin:
- Start Odin on your PC [Run as Administrator for extra assurance]
- Click the "AP" slot, and navigate to the folder where you saved the TWRP zip file, and select it
- In a moment, the file should be listed in the "AP" section
- Verify that the AP selection's checkbox is checked
- Under options on Odin, MAKE SURE "Re-Partition" IS NOT checked.
- Make sure "Auto-Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked. [Auto-Reboot not required; Can manually shut off by battery removal after Odin gives the green "PASS" light]
- Plug your On5 into your PC now
- Odin will verify the connection with a little light blue box in the "ID:COM" section
- Double check settings
- Press the "Start" button
Odin results should say "PASS!" is green if the operation was done successfully.
If red "FAIL," then either try different versions of Odin, different USB slots, double check everything, or troubleshoot at your own risk. [Must remove battery and restart in download mode again to retry]
After Odin gives a "PASS!"
Booting Into TWRP Recovery:
- You might get lucky, and Odin automatically reboots the phone into TWRP.
-- If it does not reboot into TWRP, then let the phone finish loading to your homescreen and then fully shut it off. [If stuck in boot screen, then force shut-off with battery removal after disconnecting the device]
- To get into recovery from the phone being shut off, do the same as the Downloader, but by holding volume up instead of down.
[Hold Volume Up + Home Button + Power/Lock]
TWRP:
- On the start page, there will be a slider that will allow TWRP full access. Slide it.
- Go into recovery/restore/backup and create a recovery image in an easily-accessible folder like your other files [With SuperSU would be easiest]
- This may take a moment so be patient
- Once that is complete DO NOT REBOOT YET
- Go back to the home screen and go to "Install"
- Navigate to the file where you put the SuperSU zip [NOTICE: Instead of "Phone\TWRP"; your folder would be "sdcard\TWRP" despite it being on internal storage]
- If you can't see the zip file, make sure the button "Install from zip" is clicked instead of "install from image"
- Select the file
- Swipe to install, and then use the quick "erase cache" option TWRP gives after
- Click the reboot option
- You will be taken to their final page asking if you want to install their app, you don't have to. I actually recommend doing that at a later time. Swipe to reboot.
VUELA!
It will take some time to boot, but you should now be rooted!
Bootloop or boot screen freezing? [Make sure to give it time]
If you didn't take my advice and did it with the external SD card, shut off the phone, take out the SD card, and try booting again [Again allowing time to boot]
Wait until device is fully booted before reinserting SD card, then use a file browser to delete all Android files inside the SD card before you ever reboot or shut down again. [You might not remember what could have caused the problem after a while]

everything worked until i tried to go into recovery mode is there a alternative

I just went through this process for virtually the same phone. [G550T1UVU2AQC4; For your exact Model's S/W# like this, look in battery compartment or the box the phone came in]
Despite being over 6 months old, I figured I may as well post the information for future onlookers. I could have used this info yesterday.
For this post specifically regarding "failing half way through," I would hazard to guess that the firmware already installed on the phone is slightly more up-to-date than what you're trying to flash. Either that, or you don't have the right settings turned on to allow Odin to flash over the AP. Plus, how were you planning on rooting by flashing over the stock firmware in the first place? lol
Either way, I recommend just making sure what I'm about to say is what you've done so far.
Disclaimer: Rooting your phone, even attempting to, or using rooted apps can cause irreparable damage and turn it into a brick. Always make sure what you are using the root for is compatible with your model!!!
Notes:
- For rooting the Galaxy On5, Odin is merely to flash the recovery software to the device. The recovery software is where you install the root.
- For extra precaution, my method does not involve the external SD card. They seem to cause random issues for the first boot after rooting.
If you insist on doing it with the external SD card installed, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO APPS ALREADY TRANSFERRED TO THE EXTERNAL SD CARD!
So to start....
Requirements:
Windows PC with open USB port to download files and transfer the files [Back USB ports are more reliable for PC Desktops; All USB ports are fine with a laptop]
USB-A to USB-B cable [Stock micro-USB cable]
Samsung On5 [Recommended ~100% battery]
A little patience
Galaxy On5 Settings:
#1 - Enable Developer Options
Settings > About device > Build Number - Keep tapping the Build Number until it says you're enabling Developer options, and continue tapping until you succeed.
#2 - OEM Unlock and USB Debugging
Settings > Developer options > Make sure both "OEM Unlock" and "USB Debugging" are turned on
#3 - Enable Unknown Sources
Settings > Lock screen and security > Make sure "Unknown sources" is turned on
Downloads: [4]
Samsung USB Driver - Link to Samsung's download for their Android USB driver for mobile phones. [Install regardless of whether you can already transfer from PC to Android]
http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
Odin - Link to an XDA Forum Post which, unlike most, has kept updated and added all versions. [I recommend to use the most up-to-date version; Remember to click the file name of the attachment to download]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
Extract the Odin zip file to an easily accessible folder like "My Documents" and/or create its own file "Odin"
TWRP - Link to the always most up-to-date version for the Galaxy On5. [I don't recommend other recoveries; This is simple and reliable]
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxyon5tmobile.html
Don't unzip TWRP. Leave file zipped as-is and move it to the same folder as Odin; and/or create its own Sub-Folder for organization "Documents\Odin\TWRP"
SuperSU - Link to the SuperSU version I used that worked smoothly.
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip
Link to the official website for an updated version. [I would just use what you know works though; From the official page, follow the most recent SuperSU release link and find the .zip file]
https://chainfire.eu/
Where to put SuperSU
- Connect PC to Galaxy On5 [After installing USB Driver]
- Open the file where your SuperSU download is.
- Right-click SuperSU > Click Copy
- Now navigate to your On5 [Should be available in the left panel; if not go to "My Computer" and it should pop up]
- Find, or create, a folder you can easily remember inside the phone's internal memory [i.e; "Phone\Android" or create your own folder "Phone\TWRP"]
- Right click while inside the designated folder and paste the SuperSU zip
Time to start rooting:
Double check that android's settings, and the rooting files are in the right places.
Download Mode:
- Disconnect from your PC, and completely shut down your On5.
- After it is off; Press and hold first the Volume Down Button + The Home Screen Button + Then The Power Button.
- Hold the combination until download mode pops up
- Press Volume Up
- You are now ready for Odin
Odin:
- Start Odin on your PC [Run as Administrator for extra assurance]
- Click the "AP" slot, and navigate to the folder where you saved the TWRP zip file, and select it
- In a moment, the file should be listed in the "AP" section
- Verify that the AP selection's checkbox is checked
- Under options on Odin, MAKE SURE "Re-Partition" IS NOT checked.
- Make sure "Auto-Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked. [Auto-Reboot not required; Can manually shut off by battery removal after Odin gives the green "PASS" light]
- Plug your On5 into your PC now
- Odin will verify the connection with a little light blue box in the "ID:COM" section
- Double check settings
- Press the "Start" button
Odin results should say "PASS!" is green if the operation was done successfully.
If red "FAIL," then either try different versions of Odin, different USB slots, double check everything, or troubleshoot at your own risk. [Must remove battery and restart in download mode again to retry]

From author:
The only firmware that does not freezes completely in my usage scenario.
Has feature not found in any other firmware - ability to adjust screen contrast.
Has a dedicated button for screen refresh in status-bar.
I highly advice to flash TWRP before tinkering with firmware or else in case anything goes wrong it may be difficult to restore your device (since stock recovery is not very functional you may need to pry your device open to access serial console).
As usual: I'm not responsible for any harm done, use it on you own risk.

Hello
Can I return original firmware?
Thank you!

For sure. You may need to fix updater-script from original update.zip thou.

Got GP 7.8 recently and installed ReLaunch on it. It works fine mostly except for the lack of contrast control.
Wanted to try this firmware to see how the contrast control will work. First started TWRP in test mode. After installing the firmware and rebooting there is the standard android "optimising packages" messages. However the boot process is then stuck at a three dots animation.
Is this supposed to take a long time or did I miss some step?

Thanks. This worked.
The firmware is clean and quite stable. Thanks RyogoNA.
Is there a way to re-install the original NOOK reader (the app only)? It is not the best reader but the physical buttons page turning is nice option to have sometimes.

No, not longer than 5 minutes. Please make sure that you perform a "factory reset" in TWRP - this is crucial.

Well... You can try to extract it from stock fw and copy it into /system/app, but I don't think it will work correctly.

If you just need physical buttons, you can modify /system/usr/keylayout/imx-keypad.kl. Keys 191/192 are left buttons, and keys 193/194 are right buttons - you can change them to PAGE_UP/PAGE_DOWN or VOLUME_UP/VOLUME_DOWN, depending on what you need. Or you may use any application that does button remapping.

The part you may need to remove is highlighted (see attached pics), but you can try without removing it - it may work just like that.

Not going to cover it here completely, but:
1) you need to enable adb;
2) then in command line "adb reboot fastboot";
3) and "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img";

This is awesome! I’ve been cobbling together some of the various tweaks but this looks to have the vast majority of the stuff and has an awesome status bar.

thank you so much for the answer. I installed TWRP following the instructions you provided. but how do I start TWRP now so that I can proceed to the next step of installing the new software, please?
thank you so much!

Well... What makes me sad is the fact that there an instruction on github (where you downloaded twrp from).
But anyway, the only stable way to get into recovery is to execute "adb reboot recovery" from command line.

thank you very much for your patience. for some reason the instructions would not show up on github on firefox, unless I would click on Code...(sorry for that)
So, I was able to boot to TWRP, but once I install the 1.04.4140 zip I get an error saying:
"assert failed: package extract die (system, /system)...I also attaching a picture.

For some reason I cannot see the picture, but I'm guessing there is an "error status 7" which means that you need to unmount /system partition before installation.
