Thank you so much for such a comprehensive reply!

Can you please comment on what the principal difference between the two ROMs is?
[Android General] syserr:
Thank you makbro for your reply. I'm hoping it is that simple, and I'm missing something.

Did you have success with the drivers included in the LeTools (above link)? I was not able to make them work. I tried several times. LeTools itself and adb work for me but I have to get the drivers installed outside of LeTools installation process. The adb in LeTools behaves the same as the adb I use in Linux. That is: stuff like "adb reboot recovery" works fine, but "adb reboot bootloader" does not work.

I've tried on real HW Win7 and VM XP. I see no difference. With VMware, I'm able to revert back to a clean XP and try different drivers etc... so that's where I've put the majority of my energy.

My next post -- I'll include the drivers I'm using.
[Android General] syserr:
USB Drivers that come with A2107A-H AT&T

My Lenovo A2107A-H has been OTAed to A2107A_A404_000_033_121011_ATT. In this state if you plug it in to XP (with no drivers etc) it ends up showing a read-only drive in Windows Explorer -- basically an emulated CDROM Drive. As XP finds this device it calls it "Linux File-CD Gadget." (see attached picture of contents) I've attached the contents of the drive in a 7z archive. This appears to be the only driver that will work with my device -- OTAs may have limited my options.

This driver may help someone out there.

UPDATE: The .exe wasn't able to install drivers that SP Flash Tool liked. But the directory/folder "files" contains a .INF file that can be selected for driver installation. This DOES work with SP Flash Tool.

The lewa ROM has always the low screen resolution problem?
[Android General] fantamaniaka:
bg language

Hello

i have A2107-H but without bg language.

Please ane have a mod with work bg language for menu and etc..

thank you
[Android General] makbro:
You are welcome...The main differences are :

1. Screen resolution : Low in LeWa so everything appears big; you can't change it either !!!

Foxtrot supports all resolutions...

2. SIM Management : Not active in LeWa "settings menu"; although you can manage almost everything from "Switches Menu"

Foxtrot supports thru "settings menu" also...

3. Stability : LeWa is more stable...

Foxtrot has some auto-restart and hanging issues (requires hard reset by "reset button")
[Android General] makbro:
I guess you're right...In my case, I used this tutorial on out-of-the-box device, prior to updating it...

I followed this sequence--->used Win 7 and attached drivers--->rooted the device--->installed CWM--->created back-ups using Gscript, Onandroid and MTK Droid Tools--->unlocked bootloader--->started modding using custom ROMs

My device is detected properly in Win 7, only "CDC Serial..." driver is shown as un-installed but that's not an issue !!!
[Android General] makbro:
Yes it has and if you try to change, it messes up the display badly !!!

So if you are not a fan of it's default display resolution, unfortunately you would have no option to change it...
[Android General] syserr:
I was hoping you'd say I was wrong. ;)

I understand the bootloader should be unlocked to boot unsigned OSes. For some reason, I can't wrap my head around being able to boot a custom recovery (CWM) without an unlocked bootloader. Although, I'm realizing I've done it before on other devices.

With a locked bootloader I assume that I'm limited to only Lenovo signed kernels. Does the bootloader also limit you to some kind of signed system partition? Maybe most of the modded roms have a signed kernel anyway?

Thanks makbro -- for your help.

Any News?

Hi Guys, I'm new here,

Any news when will Lenovo release an OTA update on A2107A-H? or will they ever be? Do they stop releasing OTA updates on A2107A-H?

I just unlock radio (without headset) on my Tab without installing custom ROMS, I wonder how do I unlock Telephony without installing custom ROMS, is there away, beside installing custom ROMS?

Thanks Regards, AA
[Android General] jonessl:
Thanks again, have you tried the "pemergency" ROM?
[Android General] makbro:
All the modded ROMs I have posted are signed (including signed kernels, I cooked them in dsixda's Android Kitchen) and can be installed on locked bootloader as well, I have personally verified this many times now :)

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

OTA updates are officially still supported for this device, though they haven't released one for quite a while now :)

I'm afraid unlocking phone isn't possible without custom/ modded ROMs !!!

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

That was the first one I tried; though it was a great effort but had more bugs as compared LeWa, Foxtrot or Chinese ROMs...
[Android General] johnmilthon:
hey how did you do to unlock the radio???
[Android General] kinta44:
What bugs? Give me a 5 for example...

I'm using it about 3 months and work perfect.

[Android General] groversi:
I don´t know if it is forbidden, so before I want to ask!

Can I write a message saying that I am selling my Lenovo A2107H?
[Android General] jonessl:
Thanks, I will try it first too (just to see). It seems that none of the ROMs, including the original (factory) is very good, and while not being deliberately negative, the tablet's only real advantage I can see is its low cost when the inclusion of the dual SIM is considered (without the dual SIM, the tablet really is poor). Luckily I have a [wifi only] Galaxy Note 10.1 as my main tablet!
[Android General] BazmanFoo:
Hi,

I need your help again!

Being the idiot that I am I just deleted my entire system in TWRP. Now I've lost my ROM and my TWRP recovery (I think), as I can not boot at all anymore, it just sticks on the Lenovo splash screen. I have a backup on my external SD but I can't restore it unless I can get into recovery. How can I get recovery back on the device? I've tried hooking up to my PC but since I have no ROM I cant enable USB debugging and none of the flash tools appear to recognise the device is connected.

Have I got a full brick here?
[Android General] makbro:
You don't have to be angry or aggressive about this, I was asked for my opinion and I gave it...You may disagree but please be respectful, I am not getting paid or asking for money to answer or try to offer whatever help I can to others !!!

Regarding examples, here are 5 of many I faced whilst I was using that ROM :-

1. One SIM shown under settings, including SIM Management and IMEI # instead of both in Foxtrot and LeWa.

2. One SIM only in the Phone (For making voice calls) instead of two in Foxtrot.

3. 3G connectivity intermittent; no such issue in either Foxtrot, LeWa or Chinese.

4. Random restarts while on 3G and if a call is received while watching a video on Flash Player in browser; no such issue in Foxtrot, LeWa or Chinese.

5. Jittery playback of videos in Flash Player; problem disappeared once device was restarted and appeared again all of a sudden during playback.

Let me further say that I am really happy that it's working perfect for you !!! I just wished it worked the same for me, but it didn't !!!

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

If you are getting Lenovo Splash screen, it's not bricked...If the device is bricked, it won't power on at all and you won't even see the first Lenovo logo (before the splash animation) !!!

You have to re-install recovery using Flash Tool and as far as I know, the path would be :-

1. First flash CWM Recovery using UPDATE 3 procedure of csns in this post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35369121&postcount=1

2. Then Flash TWRP recovery using CWM (Foxtrot's method)

3. In the end, restore your TWRP back-up

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

You are right in saying that the Stock ROM is really poor; however, if you use Foxtrot, LeWa or Chinese ROM with enhancements such as "V6 Super Charger", the tablet performs nearly the same as Kindle Fire or Nexus 7, many people have posted AnTuTu benchmark results before and after modding and enhancements and they are comparable !!!

loop recovery boot

Hello again

i have 2 problem

first the tablet every time start in recovery CWM ALONE...(when i install a new custume rom) and now i dont know haw to upload a SD card a new rom or some else

and second quest : somebady know who rom have a bulgarian lang.

thank you so much
[Android General] jonessl:
Wow, that would be a vast improvement. I'll try out some ROMs based on your comments and recommendations. An improvement of that order will make me feel the purchase wasn't so bad after all! Thanks!

I hope you don't mind (and can answer) a further query? In my previous post #1457 of this thread, I asked some questions on memory, which no one has addressed, and can be restated as:

1. In the factory ROM, what does install apps (in settings) to USB memory mean/do as they seem to go into the internal storage regardless? In other words the 500 MB of remaining internal memory gets eaten up [all that is left by the standard suite of Lenovo apps from the 3 GB allocated], rather than the USB memory. Is this normal behaviour or am I missing something?

2. I guess after rooting, and possibly before/after flashing with one of the newer ROMs, is it possible to repartition what I assume to be a single internal flash memory of 16 GB (the one weirdly split into the 3 GB "internal" and 12-13 GB of "USB" [which, as I said doesn't seem to b used whatever the settings are set to]), as the internal memory soon gets full up otherwise.

3. I have looked at a number of tools that are supposed to give more internal memory by moving the /swap mount to an SD card, and also looked at moving apps one by one (using Apps2SD) to the SD card (this only works partly, because some apps cannot be moved and others can, but still need some allocation on the "internal" [system] partition), I have also looked at the tweak which forces apps by default [once rooted] to go to the SD card fully,as well as automated memory repartitioning apps for MT 6577 phones, which only work for 4 GB systems. I say this because none [except for the inappropriate phone one, which will not work] actually increase the RAM space to system and in answering #2, I would not regard any of these "solutions" as actually increasing the available RAM, so hopefully whatever your comment on #2 will be an improvement on these "solutions"!

Uh oh. So I tried to fix this myself before you replied. I used SP Flash tool to try flash the recovery. It went through all the steps and I got the green circle to say everything went ok. But now I can't power on the device...

Looks like it's properly bricked now? Is there anything I can try?

One thing I should point out is my PC still recognises when I plug the Tab in by usb - I hear the noise windows makes when hardware is detected.

Generally, lot of bug we can noticed with specific circumstances. From my point of view, pemergency works perfect. :D

Foxtrot doesn't have any charging issue, I am using that ROM right now along with many other users without any such problem !!!

It's just that the normal battery icon has been replaced with a digital percentage display that counts to 100 from the current value whilst it is charging !!!

Yep.

So by unticking I've managed to get it to boot into recovery at least. It flash CWM so I flashed the TWRP zip and tried to restore the backups I had on an SD card - fails. It says it cant mount emms and system, what can I try now?
[Android General] makbro:
That's good, it's progress...Now you need to flash an SP Flash Tool based ROM (Chinese or Foxtrot_v100)...

First try to use just the "Download" option to flash the ROM...If it doesn't work, in the next try, first "Format--->Auto format whole NAND Flash" and then Flash the ROM using "Download" option in SP Flash Tool...

No, sorry, I didn't. I'm running a 32 bit version of Windows 7 (and, therefore, the 32 bit driver). I'd hoped that since they packaged a 64 bit driver along with the 32 bit one that it would work for you. Sorry!

A few questions/suggestions though:

Does the computer recognize the device at all when you plug it in? If so, what does it identify it as?

Are you plugging it in through a USB hub? If so, you might try plugging it in directly to the computer. I had some devices be "unrecognized" when "hubbed."

Was the device ever recognized as external storage? If so, Windows may be holding on to that identification (and refusing to install the correct drivers). You might try deleting that USB device so that Windows re-identifies it from scratch.

second , where is this folder ( nvram ) included ? is it in the file userdata.img , or in another place ,

and how i can edit the original file ( userdata.img ) - if i am right - with my original nvram , to be flashed directly to the device .

thanks very much in advanced , if some body give me some help .

by the way , i am using windows 7 X64 .

and if some one from the Arabic region can make a full dump for the tablet a2107a-h 4gb with the Arabic language , and upload it , that will help many people in returning back to the original rom .

thanks for understanding .
