[Android General] FoxtrotKZ:
Your problem is the following:

You are trying to flashing the firmware empty.

You mast to put the files boot.img and recovery.img (from My firmware) in the firmware folder as yours number-firmware in phone.

What firmware you have the phone now?
[Android General] lenovoa2107h:
GScriptLite menu not there

thanks man.

I am going ortodox way now. Following each step one by one again.

1. Rooting done

2. Installed GScriptLite

3. Add script

Err.... GScriptLite does not show me add script option but just three - Reboot, List SD, CPU information.

What is wrong here? Is rooting sucessful? How to check? Superuser app is present and can access it.

Also checked running MTK Droid Tools selected tab "root, backup, recovery" and checked the box "Backup userdata and cache"--->

but "Backup"...button is grey...
[Android General] FoxtrotKZ:
Reboot, List SD, CPU information - this NO commands, this scripts

for "Add script" you have touch "Left soft key"

For check Root, you must loock SuperUser(or SuperSU) in Main Menu

If you run the program(with Root), you will see a pop-up window about adding in ROOT.

Hi Foxtrot, I'm a big fan of your excellent work and I want to thank you for that. I use your custom ROM and it looks spectacular. Simply, I love it!!
[Android General] lenovoa2107h:
Stuck in CWM recovery mode

Hi all, thanks for your support makbro and FoxtrotKZ. Really appreciated.

Now following all steps are done.

1. Rooting (Success)

2. GScript backup (Success)

3. Titanium Backup (Success)

4. /data/nvam back up (Success)

5. CWM install (Success)

6. LeWa ROM install A2107A-H_LeWa_MAK.zip (Success) from on screen logs

Now problem is every time tablet is going in CWM recovery mode. How to stop it? and make it boot in normal mode?

Also please correct , Planned steps after booting LeWa

1. Delete new "/data/nvam"

2. Copy backed up "/data/nvam"

3. Restore titanium back only user apps (thats it)

Please help waiting !!!!!
[Android General] Herrthegeek:
Thanks for the quick response...it appears that I will have to wait for the SP Flashable rom as I have tried countless combinations of flashing a non bootable SP Flash Rom, followed by installing a working CWM Recovery.img, followed by installing the backup referenced here. The results are usually the same stuck at the Lenovo Boot screen or Stuck in a reboot loop.

If anyone that accidently flashed a -h variant rom on a -f device and has successfully recovered back to the factory -f rom, please post what SP Flash image you used as a base to install the CWM backup.

Thanks again for all your help makbro!!!
[Android General] makbro:
Did you perform the three wipes (1. Data/factory reset, 2. Cache, 3. Advanced--->Dalvik Cache) BEFORE installing the LeWa ROM ???

If not, do it again i.e. from CWM, perform these 3 wipes and then install the ROM again !!!
[Android General] lenovoa2107h:
Already had wiped all three.. tried again ... but no luck ... same looping back to CWM recover screen...

what to do chief?
[Android General] lenizzita:
Great Job!!

Hi FoxtrotKZ, I'm a big fan of your excellent work and I want to thank you for that. I use your custom ROM and it looks spectacular. Simply, I love it!! :good:

Makbro many thanks for your great job, your support and pacience to answer all our questions. Both are the best!!

:highfive:
[Android General] raven1978:
I had flashed the a-h rom to my device (a-f) and used the rom that makbro cooked from Camborg80-Trey and flashed it with CWM, install as zip from sd card. worked flawlessly and am now running the stock rom on my a-f device. The rom is on page 120 post #1197
[Android General] Herrthegeek:
Thanks!!! Which a-h rom did you initially install....

The one I used was the stock -h rom which does not include CWR which is what I think is causing my issues.
[Android General] cian hackett:
Bootloops

maybe this question has been asked before though i have read through the entire thread and dont remember seeing it, I was able to flash lewa rom and it all worked fine, however all the other modded roms just get stuck at the boot screen (the one that says android) any suggestions as to where i may be going wrong.
[Android General] lenizzita:
Thanks

Thanks xkikinx I really appreciate your great contribution. :victory:

--------------

FoxtrotKZ Is it possible modify your custom ROM that I'm using, changing the European band for the American band 850/1900 Mhz? Because your ROM is great but I can not use the 3G connection. Maybe using some img from xkikinx's Stock ROM? I hope so :fingers-crossed:

My model is A2107A-H, 1 GB RAM, 16GB, 1 SIM Slot (but that is not problem with your ROM), Wifi, no call feature and no radio :(

Thanks in advance!
[Android General] lenovoa2107h:
I tried this .

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37294595&postcount=759

and not table does not turn ON at all...

Please help guys ....please
[Android General] makbro:
You must have missed something, I have posted the detailed procedure here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37660076&postcount=890

Remember, the ROM used in the above procedure is Stock ROM, you can use custom ROM also instead of stock in Step 2 (a) of the procedure...Choices are :-

1. SP_FT_A2107_Foxtrot_100 (credit FoxtrotKZ) here : http://narod.ru/disk/64555789001.e729d57b788ab44ce6b6d92943a1bd23/SP_FT_A2107_Foxtrot_100.rar.html

2. Chinese A2107A-H_S121_120525 here : http://dl01.chinapader.com/ROM/A2107A_H_S121_120525.zip

In case your device doesn't boot at all (you can't see even the first lenovo logo when you power-on), you need to un-brick the device first by flashing the ANTIKIRPICH included in "SP_Flash_Tool_FULL_A2107" archive (again credit FoxtrotKZ) using Flash tool to unbrick the device (same procedure, just use ANTIKIRPICH firmware instead of stock or custom)...The ANTIKIRPICH firmware archive is here : https://docs.google.com/open?id=0By3a11Z9icECSXVLWUl4djc3WTg
[Android General] FoxtrotKZ:
At this point, I no longer have the A2107 tablet.

Unfortunately experiments without tablet is impossible.
[Android General] Full Battery:
Isn't there a version of this ROM to be flashed by recovery?
[Android General] FoxtrotKZ:
It is impossible to return to the factory settings through the recovery.

My version of "ClearSky" is to restore to a clean factory setting.

This is only possible through the SP_Flash_Tool.

But they are for the regions of Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, etc.

Version "ClearSky_16Gb" is the normal markup system.

Version "ClearSky_4Gb" has a so-called curve layout, consisting of fac and system.

So as version "ClearSky_4Gb" may be appropriate ащк tablet A2107-F with markup containing section fac.
[Android General] alfiomosca:
There's a rom like this, with phone and radio function ? I see hsdpa+ connection!!
[Android General] lenovoa2107h:
Thanks a million

Worked Worked Worked !!! Everything worked

Phone + 3G + Wifi + Radio all worked .. uses Chinese rom, I was stuck on Recovery loop then no display but above suggestion worked like butter.. 20 min max for procedure.. used titanium backup to restored all user apps .. all apps worked like nothing had happened....

cheers and many thanks
[Android General] makbro:
And now you can install any other custom ROM also using CWM Recovery without any risk :)

You might wanna use other custom ROMs since Chinese one doesn't include Text to Speech services and also shows just 1 SIM under settings (although both work)...Foxtrot v100 and LeWa are exceptional, you can use the ones I posted (link in my signature)
[Android General] alfiomosca:

System updates says my unit is up-to-date.

I'd like to backup as much as possible before I start tweaking. I'd also like to make a Wiki page here on XDA. Anyone interested in helping?
[Android General] lenizzita:
Hi

Hi syserr! Has your tablet an FM tuner and voice call? In this forum all the ROMs only have 3G connection with the european band 900/2100 Mhz...

I'm Peruvian and I have a tablet with 850/1900 Mhz such as AT&T, I think... I flashed Foxtrot's ROM. It's amazing but my problem is only 3G connection :(
[Android General] syserr:
All in good time. I know now... It does NOT have an FM Tuner app. But, I believe it has the FM Tuner hardware... we will see. I see no app for making calls.
[Android General] syserr:
lenizzita,

Is your unit a "Model Name: 60015"? Does it say? Did you purchase it in Peru? (What I'm after here is to understand all the models and if there is really just one build of the -H)

I want a Wiki page (and am willing to do the majority of work)... We are at 1500 messages... that is just too much to go through to get your bearings.
[Android General] lenizzita:
Yes, my model is 60015. IdeaTab A2107A-H. I purchased it in Movistar Peru. There are different models of this tablet in the world.(A2107A-F only Wifi), A2107A-H but 4GB USB storage, etc. :confused:

I read that AT&T operates on the same frequencies in Peru, 850Mhz / 1900Mhz.

I agree with you that reading all this stuff is hard. I want to help you but I'm newbie. I have only the experience of having flashed Foxtrot's ROM with the special help from makbro who is the guru of this topic and other topics more certainly.

What I suggest is that you take out a backup of your entire stock ROM before making a change specially nvram folder, where is stored your IMEI and other data.

I hope makbro will help us in this task as always. ;) :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] xkikinx:
Hi there, you might have read this but if you want to back up you should do it through gscript and mtk droid tools. Having both of these backups youll be fine to start tweakin!

Full ROM dump (Back-up) procedure

I have posted the step by step guide to obtain full ROM dumps (back-ups) in this post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37845551&postcount=987

Note : Since you already have an updated version of stock ROM, don't worry about warning in step 0 of the procedure...I put it there since some users experienced problems reverting to stock ROM once they updated to the latest curved firmware...As far as I am concerned, there is no need of reverting to stock unless you need a warranty claim, since it does not do justice with the actual hardware capabilities of this device !!!

Sir. Makbro, my ideatab A2107-H is stuck on menu showing "Press and select your Country code". i tried to select one of the choices but it will just restart and return to the same menu. i tried to wipe all the data thru CWM version 3e still the same problem. i can't flash via ext sd card due because it's an old version of CWM. now i have the ROM you shared unfortunately i am not able to transfer it to the internal SD card.

Please advice Sir.

Please note Sir that the device can be detected in MTKdroid tools.

Thank you very much for your kind understanding.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

Is there anyway to flash this ROM through MTKdroid tools? actually i screwed up. I am not able to boot my device now. it gets stuck on "Press and Select your Country Code". but still the MTKdroid tools can detect my device.

Thanks in advance.

My ideatab a2107-h is not booting to the ROM it got stock on the menu showing "Press and Select your Country Code" if i select a country it will just restart and go back to the same options. i can still access CWM but it is version 3e, i cannot flash through ext sdcard. is there any other way flash the ROM that you post above? my device can be detected in MTKdroid tools, so i might flash there but i dont have the recovery.img and boot.img. please advice.

Your device is in factory mode, I am afraid you cannot recover it thru CWM right now...Follow this post of mine to recover device using SP Flash Tool : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38840245&postcount=1232...Forget about the section at the end (Un-bricking) since your device is booting !!!

You can use any one out of stock ROM, Foxtrot v100 or Chinese ROM to recover it :)

Thank you very much for your reply Sir. i am going to try this tonight.

Please bear with me if i have questions regarding the procedure.:o

[Android General] djuken:
Sir. Makbro, since my tablet is already in factory mode, i wont be able to copy data\nvram folder to my pc nor sd card. is it okay to bypass instruction no. 1 in your detailed procedure?

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.
[Android General] makbro:
Yeah, you would have to bypass that unfortunately...Do you have any kind of back-up created, like with CWM etc ??? In that case , you could recover this folder from "data.ext4.tar" archive in the back-up...You can try to make one from MTK Droid Tools if you can (under the "root, backup, recovery" tab checking the box "backup user data and cache")...

If you don't, remember to at least make a note of your IMEI numbers that can be restored later using MTK Droid Tools (once device is operational)...

Glad to have been able to help...I suggest you to flash "recovery_CWMR_5504.img" file using the "UPDATE 3" procedure (right at the end) of this post (credit csns) : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35369121&postcount=1...You can skip the driver installation steps of the procedure since you have already used flash tool before and have drivers installed...

After that, you can flash the memory patch as well, the error is due to incompatibility with older version of CWM :)

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

It contains specific information (Device ID, Serial number, MAC addresses, IMEIs) of individual device...If you use someone else's, it would contain their device info, not yours...Moreover, using someone else's IMEIs is illegal ;)

Anyword on an SP Flashable ROM for the -F device...mine is still down for the count :(

Thanks!!!
[Android General] makbro:
Which ROM are you using ???

If it is LeWa ROM, the auto rotate works only when apps are run, not on the home screen and app drawer...It's just the way ROM is designed...You can turn it on from the switches menu (a downward swipe on the home screen opens the switches menu) :)

In case of any other (Chinese, Foxtrot or Tesmart) the auto rotate should work !!!

For the 24 hr format, you have to set time format from settings menu !!!

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

Nothing new my friend, although I have compiled an SP Flash Tool version based on Camborg80-Trey back-up that didn't work for him...If you want, I can upload it tomorrow !!!

Would not recommend doing this.

Some versions of SP_Flash_Tool format you block NVRAM.

After that, you will lose not only IMEI, but MAK and Hardware calibration.
