[Android General] AgustinArwin:
Hi makbro me again, my tablet now turn's on and charge but i'm stock at "set country code", I tried replacing IMEI from MTKdroid but it doen't work IMEI is still empty after reboot and since I can't get rid of "set country code" I can't replace NVRAM. I also notice that my memory card cannot be detected.

All of these problem started when I format my tablet from SP Flash Tool, From the three choices under "Auto Format Nand Flash" I selected "Format Whole Flash".

I'm following your post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39219999&postcount=1280, currently downloading Foxtrot v100.
[Android General] ursulavasey:
Hello all.

I tried to install recovery using the steps in the thread below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044496&page=8

Particularly the steps used here:

1 - turn on USB Debugging on your tablet

2 - connect the tablet to your PC (if it's the 1st, some default drivers will install - that's ok)

3 - tap on the notifications area in the "Connect as" change to "MTP" - this is quite important !

4 - from the downloaded package run the "Flash_tool.exe"

- click "Scatter-loading" on the right and find "MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt"

- in the list in the lower part of the window you MUST have the "PRELOADER" (super important) and "RECOVERY" ticked and leading to the correct files. The PRELOADER = "preloader_lenovo75_a2_ics.bin" (in the package) and the RECOVERY is the recovery file of your choice -> there are 3 in the package - pick the one you want. You can flash them over and over so if you don't like one then try the other.

5 - click "Download" above - you will see a prompt saying that not all images were loaded - that is fine - we only want to flash the RECOVERY - so click "Yes"

6 - now the Flash tool is waiting for the tablet - press "reset" on the back - Windows will recognize a new device (and WILL NOT find the driver unless you have done it before) - no worries, you have the correct driver.

7 - open Windows "Device manager" and locate the MT65..... unrecognised device -> update / install driver -> point Windows to "USB VCOM Driver" folder from the package and pick your system. My Windows 7 found the driver on the spot but asked to confirm the install - "insecure" driver - I obviously clicked "install anyway" and so should you.

8 - once the driver is loaded the Flash tool will flash the new recovery file - you will see some colour progress bars in the program - at the end you should see a green circle.

It seemed to work, and the green circle came up. The problem then was that the tablet will not boot, no matter what I do. It will not boot into normal mode, bootloader mode, recovery mode or anything else. It is completely dead. It does show up in Device Manager as an Alcatel device, if I connect it then press the reset button; but I can't get anything else from it. Is there anything I can do to get my tablet up and running, and wake it up?

can anoy eithr in this thread or preferable in pm help me root the wifi only model model A2107A.F plz iwould realy be thnxful
[Android General] pemergency:
Just do it in the same way as the wifi 3g version. (mtkdroid) you will find manual in this thread
[Android General] makbro:
You can do it as "pemergency" described in his manual really well on page 5 of this thread...Alternate is the following that I used and was suggested by ichi go:-

1. Connect device to your computer iin "USB Debugging" mode, that you can enable under "Development Options" settings.

2. Install ADB drivers for your device, the easiest way is to install the software "PDAnet for Android", it will automatically install the required ADB drivers for most Android devices including the a2107 series.

3. Download "4.03root.zip" file provided by ichi go on page 1 of this thread.

4. Run "root.bat" file from the above extracted archive with device connected in debug mode, the device would restart 3 times after which "root complete" message would appear. Power it up again and it's rooted !!!

Out of memory issue

This is supposed to be a 16GB tablet. When you go into storage under settings, it says that I have 503 MB of internal storage and then 12.99 GB of internal memory. It gives me an option to default install apps to internal memory, but it goes right to the internal storage of 503 MB. Even when I move some apps, there is a few mb's that get left behind. Once I fill up that internal storage of 503 MB, it tells me I am out of space, yet I still have 12GB of internal memory. I can't install any more updates because it claims it is out of storage space.

Is there a trick to get all the memory back?

Hallo,

It has been a long time ago that i had problems with my Lenovo A 2107 A-H.

Because of a crashdown i had to start all over again.

I have rooted my tablet without problems, I have installed CMW-based Recovery v. 6.0.1.5.

After that i tried to install the custom rom: A2107A-H_S222_121121_MAK, but than the problem started.

The tablets get stuck on the big LENOVO image. I have to reset to start again.

The problem exsist with all ROM's, I tried all be I never get further than the LENOVO logo.

Sometimes when i restart de tablet with Cwm and choose the option reboot systen now it does restart with get in the recovery mode again.

Does anyone know what the problem is and how i can resolve it.

Trying to restore a CWM backup gives errors so that does not work either.

Thanks for any solution

No I was using Michfood method. My partner has tried method 3 but she couldn't get it to flash either.
[Android General] pl8715:
I'm getting that error too now. You would think they would an easier method than this, I would like to use something like Odin like I do on my Galaxy Note, like a one stop shop kind of thing.

Lenovo have made it very difficult to do anything and and they seem to have dropped support in the firmware dept.
[Android General] motoracer47:
I have pretty basic knowledge of flashing, this is the 3rd time I have done it. From what I understand, the tools used for flashing are dependent on the device, and the devices popularity determines how many tools are made for it. (that's what it seems like, could be wrong) Being that this device isn't as popular as say a Nexus 7, there is less support. However, I feel confident that we can get this working, others have, so there is a way. Im just glad we have something for it, and some good people that have created what we do have.

About the BROM_ERROR....Im thinking it has to do with the USB drivers. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the drivers to install following the guide: "How to install drivers.doc" I ended up going the PDAnet method. Once I am ready to flash, if I follow the directions and hold reset while inserting USB (once I have flash tool loaded, scatter file loaded, and have hit the download button) Flash Tool will start to try and flash, get about half way through the first red progress bar, then usb disconnects, and I get the error. If I hold reset and vol+, insert usb, and release reset but continue to hold vol+, it will flash the first file, (red progress bar) and complete it, but when the 2nd purple progress bar starts, again usb disconnect's and same error. Im thinking it has something to do with the usb drivers, but I am just guessing.

Only flashing this without format results in device not powering up (no lenovo logo), but device is recognized by pc un usb connection.

Thanks for the reply, as I told my knowledge is limmited but isn't this solvable with flashing a 'custom' rom as well?

I mean the EU rom version by default don't support the phone-option as well and .... it's fixed :)

Or... is this a hardware issue?

Thanks in advance
[Android General] kinta44:
Phone support based on gsm licence. Lenovo block this in software because they don't buy licence. Usb otg need hardware modification. If you are electronic engineer you can try fix that with a little help of soldering :)

Tab is getting rebooted....

Dear Makbro,

First of all let me "Thank you" for your excellant work.

I am using a 16GB tab which is getting rebooted most of the time.

I did install the Foxtrot 100 rom following the procedure below:

1. Back-up the folder "\data\nvram" from your device to your PC...If not possible, at least note both your IMEI numbers that can be restored later using MTK Droid Tools...

2. Download and extract the following in one global folder in your PC :-

(a) One of the two custom ROMs (with calling function and FM Radio) below (preferably Foxtrot v100) :-

(i) Foxtrot v100 : http://narod.ru/disk/64555789001.e72...t_100.rar.html

(ii) Chinese : http://dl01.chinapader.com/ROM/A2107A_H_S121_120525.zip

(b) SP Flash Tool v3.1216.02 here : http://xdaforums.com/atta...3&d=1360162416

(c) USB VCOM drivers here : http://xdaforums.com/atta...4&d=1360162416

(d) USB Driver installation here : http://xdaforums.com/atta...5&d=1360162416

3. If you haven't already, install the ADB drivers to your PC downloaded in step 2(c) as per "How to.doc" downloaded in step 2(d)...

4. If your device is 16GB, skip this step...If your device is 4GB or 8GB, browse to ROM folder (downloaded and extracted in step 2(a))... Open the file "MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" in Notepad++ and change "FAT 0x924e4000" to "__NODL_FAT 0x924e4000" (There is a double under-score before NODL and a single underscore after NODL)...Save file...

5. Make sure device is not connected to PC and is powered-off...Run SP Flash Tool "Flash_Tool.exe" downloaded in step 2(b), click on "Scatter-loading" button, browse to the ROM folder (downloaded and extracted in step 2(a)) and select file "MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" (the same file that you edited in step 4 if your device is 4GB or 8GB)...

6. Check the box "DA/ DL all with checksum" and click "Download" from main menu of Flash Tool...Now keep the "Reset" button of the device pressed while plugging in the USB cable to your PC and release the button once cable is plugged-in (reset button location is shown in a pic inside the "How to" doc you downloaded in step 2(d))...The ROM will start flashing to the device...This will take approximately 13 minutes with 7-8 different color bars completing 100% progress...Don't do anything until the big green circle appears with "Download OK" indication...

7. Power-On the device...You have installed the new ROM...Now delete the folder "\data\nvram" from your device and copy the folder you backed-up in step 1 to the same location in your device and restart...Otherwise run MTK Droid Tools (Download here : http://xdaforums.com/atta...6&d=1361727709), select "Replace IMEI" and enter your IMEI numbers that you noted in step 1 and replace them, then restart device...

Can you kindly let me know what have i done wrong, so that i could use it peacefully....

Thanks Shak :)
