A: Root and/or flash ROM on Haier Haipad 8.0 (PAD821)

First, have you tried to search for this device on http://forum.xda-developers.com? They should have got the ROM and the ROOTing method for you. Note: Never try to ROOT or install a ROM from someone you don't trust! Again never root the device when its still in use, because Rooting the device w...

It's unlikely that XDA Developers will have anything for a this device. Doing some googling leads me to believe that it's an extremely uncommon tablet to begin with, rooting and getting a ROM will most likely be a huge ordeal.

Additionally, while it's true that the risk of bricking most devices is low, it's clearly not something to understate - especially for obscure devices like this! And your explanation of why he shouldn't worry is unclear and seems inaccurate.

Ok, so you downvoted me, because I was helping the dude you had to way to go? :/ and so that your answer should lead the question? Wow! :) Nice mentality brother.

dotVezz

I'd be happy to remove the downvote if it's edited. This isn't about competition, but because the answer isn't quite right. And it's also dangerous to tell someone "don't worry" when they're rooting an unknown device with untested methods.

I am having a phone made by Qmobile there was no way to root it. I did! I don't want kudos for that but still. If you're so much afraid, then why are you trying to root it? Doesn't make sense and what else do you want me to add here, the stuff that you have posted? :/

dotVezz

The thing is I literally can't remove the downvote unless you edit something. =(. If you feel like my answer is just wrong, then feel free to downvote it.

Well dotVezz, I wasn't here to downvote anyone, unless he is posting some rubbish stuff. You have nothing rubbish, so why should I? And edit something eh? Ok! wait

There, i removed the just for info thing!

Wasn't this chat over? :D I thought it was!

dotVezz

I've removed my downvote. However, I still feel like the answer is lacking =(

I didn't mean any insult, just trying to contribute to the community.

Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan

what does it lack? Can you please tell me! Or suggest an edit there :) i will approve

Ohh i can understand..

dotVezz

Well, first - XDA Developers definitely doesn't have anything for the device. If he were to search there, it's quite possible that he could land on a thread for a different Haier device and try methods there.

That might work, or it might brick him.

Second, while you and I are comfortable with using untested methods to root our devices, it's not something that should be recommended with "don't worry about it"

Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan

Oh, but brother, xda-developers is the only one with custom roms, isn't it?

dotVezz

No, not at all.

There are dozens or hundreds of sites for it

XDA is only one of the biggest.

Yes, that's why! I suggested this..

i almost made my phone useless..

dotVezz

Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan
