Hi makbro

I had the same problem and using SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1206.01 according to your suggestion i get another error. Please see the attached.[/URL][/IMG]
[Android General] lenovovo:
lenovo ideatab a2107a-h

Please help

I just rooted my device and install lucky patcher

After that I just install one of the google play store mod

And my tablet reboot

When it is open it said android upgrading after that the software button disappear and you can open notification panel by swiping down

And it said unfortunately system ui stopped and ideadesktop stopped

I reset my device but it just the same please help
[Android General] syserr:
The good news... MTK devices, you have almost total control over from the MediaTek software SP Flash Tool. Much more powerful than rooting and can undo mistakes by reinstalling everything.

This was 5 days ago, what is your current situation? I've never heard of Lucky Patcher... and what mod are you speaking of for Google Play Store?

Hello pemergency,

Do you have custom ROM for 4GB version of A2107A-H Model Name:60015.

This has dual SIM slot with 3G.
[Android General] pemergency:
Yes I have one, do you want oryginal chinesse version or you wish modified version by me?

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Downloading google store and install is not everything, you need to install all the files from gapp package via root explorer or push them to device by ADB. It was a post in this thread about how to do this.
[Android General] csns:
I just have one question for Pemergency : do you know how to modify the stock ROM in order to have the calling feature working?

And I am not talking about flashing a Chinese ROM from those Asian forums - I mean modding files on the device itself.

Thank you.
[Android General] pemergency:
Yes I know this should be done by ADB using PC. What version of a2107a do you have? You can root your device, install nandroid backup app from google store, backup your system and send this to me. Then I will do a necessary changes for you.

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

All of you guys with different model for example 8GB can do same thing and I will prepare all mods for you.

[Android General] pemergency:
Hehe you must be joking. It would take more than few hours just to write a manual... and you need to have some knowledge of Linux, have you?
[Android General] csns:
You may be underestimating the potential of people in this forum.

Please try starting by naming the general idea - for example:

1 - which files from the ROM need to be modyfied

2 - are any files from "outside" of the ROM needed to make this mod work (I mean files from other ROMs, other devices etc.)

Thanks.
[Android General] pemergency:
Kernel and modem and few more files comes from Chinese rom. I'm not able to compile kernel without source, any more questions?

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

And one more thing. Lots of programers from this forum can do this without any problems. People from samsung kitchen... but think how many people own this device? Compare to others. No one care about this thread and other similar...
[Android General] csns:
So basically both kernel and modem are applied "as they are" from the Chinese ROM to the device or do you make some changes in them in the first place?

And I think this device may become quite popular on some markets - you even mentioned that you had almost 1000 downloads of your first CWM package.
[Android General] pemergency:
I had almost 1000 download for files uploaded by me, but they wasn't modified by me to be clear. And what is 1000 downloads for 7 000 000 for example Samsung galaxy note? I don't think anyone will spend own time to continue this project. I will give you guys, links to all the work I have done already. So maybe... someone will use them for feature mods.

... I change my mind and I will not waste anymore time to supporting and continue this project.

A2107A-F battery over temperature issue

Hi A2107A-F users

(I am reposting here in case some -H users have same issue)

I know this thread is read by -F and -H A2107 users. I would like to ask you if somebody of you have had issues related to "battery over temperature" messages as per is commented in the following lenovo link:

https : / / forums . lenovo . com / t5 / Idea-Android-based-Tablets / A2107A-F-battery-over-temperature-issue / td-p /1309883

The problem is annoying since after few seconds the message appears the tablet shuts down.

In the last post from ssenemosewa (2148 in this thread), he mentioned that Shiloh's ROM managed this issue better than Syserr's ROM in the sense that at least every time the message appears it could be dismissed without the tablet just shutting down.

I would like to make sure if this problem is a software or hardware related issue. In the case of a sw issue, changing the stock ROM for a custom one could solved my problem?. I will appreciate your kind comments :)
[Android General] syserr:

As shown Titanium Backup:

System ROM: 1.05 GB (646 MB free)

Internal: 2.11 GB (1.94 GB free)

Media 109 MB (103 MB free)

Compared to Foxtrot Rerooted (they use few months) XnetFox is something different, in form but not in essence. Unfortunately I know too many expectations from this device are not. It would be nice if someone could adapt a 4.1.x ROM Android for this tablet...:cool:
[Android General] sverza:
I'm not the developer of this rom, I only gave some feedback to the developer to fix some bugs.

This Rom (version 3.82 and earlier) is based on Foxtrot100. Some bugs fixed, lot of useless application deleted. In few words the rom contains only basic apps needed for the basic utilization.

The result is a very very light rom.

To extend the application data to 2GB is necessary "install" a zip update via CWM recovery
[Android General] Cili0:
cool
[Android General] syserr:
Thanks.

It might be interesting to see what he is doing in the install script inside the zip. I think expanding this would be hard in just a script. I suspect it's a bit hack-ish since to do it right -- there is a bunch of math to do to get all the offsets right of the MBR, EBR1, EBR2. Then if you get all that right, you should get the PMT to match. (just rambling)

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

Lenovo A2107A is an MT6575 SoC, it only upgrades to 4.0.4 (AT&T and Vodafone ROMs) at best.

Some other MT6575 devices run JB 4.1.2.

Lenovo A820 (phone) is an MT6589M SoC, it is at JB 4.1.2.

Apparently there are partial or complete sources available for it.

I suspect the device tree in that source available should be able to support the MT6575 and maybe, just maybe, have the right stuff on the A2107A.

I have some hope.

If you use SP Flash Tool after you upgrade partition, attention to what scatter_emmc you use. I installed (after upgrade partition) with SPFT rom Foxtrot_100 and in recovery emmc partition was not found. After reinstall XnetFox, emmc partition refound.

I believe that after the upgrade partion, can be installed using SPFT a ROM with scatter_emmc for Lenovo 2107 A-H 16GB. I have not tried yet:D

You can restore standard app partition installing it via recovery

Here standard partition

OR, you should create the scatter file (related to the 2 gb partition) via MTKDROIDTOOLS

Maybe I'm wrong, but if you get error 10 for adb and vcom driver I think it's something related to you operatin system.

Have you tried with windows xp (I'm "old style"... I'm still using xp)?

For some reason youtube is running at too high a resolution with the "HD" toggled. If you find other ROMs that don't jitter/jerk with HD youtube, they actually look like the same resolution as foxtrot when you turn HD off.

You can turn off HD and it will be smooth. It's annoying because you have to do it for each vid.

ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.width (and height) - 720 (480)

to match the values listed for mprof.vid. - 353 (288)

I was thinking maybe they defined high def vs medium def.

Like I said it didn't seem to do anything.

If you can figure anything out that would be awesome!

I tried some. I have a collection of ROMs and what I remember is a DIFF on several build.prop trying to figure out what could possibly fix it. I never figured it out did. :(
