Note: This custom firmware does not come with any ROMs. Please do not contact DroidBOX Support to ask for ROMs as we will not provide or give support for them.
We will be posting a full guide shortly on how to install the firmware, but if you are familiar with the process you can find the details below. If you are not familiar with these processes, please wait until the full step by step guide is published.
The 'Useless' custom firmware only works using the internal Micro SD card reader, this requires you to open your RS-07 device. Please be careful when following the instructions. We also recommend writing the custom firmware to a new (up to 32Gb) Micro SD card so you can revert back to the original Micro SD card and firmware if you wish to.
You can download the latest Custom Firmware from https://github.com/retrofw/retrofw.github.io/releases
You can write the .img file to a Micro SD card using Win32 disk imager or Etcher. After this, you can add your own ROM files to the card
You will now need to open your RS-07. There will be six screws on the bottom of the device. First remove all the rubber feet from the screw holes, then remove the screws. You may find that one of the screws to the back of the device will not be able to be removed, this is fine.
Once you have removed the screws, you can use a spudger or blunt item to open the case. Open the case slowly and carefully from the back as there are ribbons connecting the top of the case to the bottom. Once opened, you can see the Micro SD Card slot covered by a piece of foam as shown in the photo below.
Carefully remove the foam cover and you will be able to remove the Micro SD Card and replace it with the new Micro SD Card. Replace the foam cover, close the case, and put the battery back in.
Before screwing all the screws back in, quickly test that it is booting to the custom firmware. If it works fine, screw all the screws back in place and then add the rubber feet and you are good to go!
