Changing roms is not supportable so go back to the forum that supports this and ask.

My thought is to look for a reset button or reset hole. I am guessing the make and model is unknown so we can't get specific.

PS. Say is this a continuation of your other posts?

Remember that each discussion stands on its own. I usually will never check your other posts.

But if you ran your 800MHz tablet with that 1.2GHz ROM, all bets are off. It could crash on boot.

Again, what you are doing is unsupportable and you had a warranty issue but decided to try something else.
Good luck!
