  • This custom rom need a custom recovery to flashed into the device, if you haven’t got it, get it here : cwm recovery for Picopad T1

Flashing Process :

The steps to flash this custom rom is pretty straight forward :

  • Download the custom rom from link above and copy it to the root of your sdcard, you may check it first with your file manager to confirm it was there. There are two sdcard storage on this device, so you must know it’s at the internal sdcard or external sdcard. I prefer you to put this on external sdcard to avoid any difficulties.
  • Boot into recovery mode by turning off your phone, hold down Volume Up button, then hold down Volume Down button and then press power button, hold them all of the 3 buttons until you feel the device vibrate and axioo logo appear, then release it. Wait a sec or two and you’ll be in cwm recovery mode.
  • BACKUP your stock rom and data using BACKUP feature, make sure you use external storage as destination because this backup is relatively big.
  • Choose Wipe Data / Factory reset and execute it.
  • Go back to main menu, and choose Install zip
  • It will open a list of file on your sdcard, choose the custom rom zip file that you put on step 1 and flash it.
  • After the installation completed, choose Reboot System
  • Done

If everything okay, then you will see this screenshot on yours :

That’s it, have fun and enjoy your Picopad T1 !
