[Android General] flashxml:
Thanks for the new build

Solved :

+ FM Radio

* Radio seems to work now,but found only 3 stations of 20 available ... but it is a beginning

+ new icon for gsm and wifi

Bug :

- Portable Wi-Fi hotspot don't work in normal way

* it enable hotspot but no one can connect ( Obtaining IP adress.... ) I tried for 10 minutes and nothing

Solution partial :

it connect if handwritten first time ip adress

1 - Long press on wifi network, context menu will appear.

2 - Check " Show advanced option"

3 - IP settings -- check " Static "

4 - IP adress -- Enter IP is written there and save ( Now it connects but no internet access )

PS.

* try to open your own topic " Lenovo IdeaTab a2107_aleksandar9999a "

* try to remove paid applications like Nova setting and Root Explorer,I do not think you have the right to distribute these applications , you can replace with the free version

* I saw the pictures you uses ES File Explorer,you should inject it into rom an delete the Root Explorer

* what application you use lockscreen ( please attach here )
[Android General] aleksandar9999a:
My goal was to create a lightweight rom. Paid applications are plus for rom and I do not think them remove. If I remove the root Explorer how to restore imei? For ES File Explorer whoever wants can install.

PS. Good idea for a new topic, but my English is very poor. I'm from Bulgaria and ... hard is write on English. I use google translate. :D

Tomorrow I will test hotspot.
[Android General] flashxml:
* paid application it is forbidden to be inserted in rom,here It is not warez - hack - crack website... it is XDA developer .

If one of staff see what you doing possible to close your topic or banning your username ,because it does not encourage piracy here

* do not worry because you can handle with English for the new topic,in this way you will be known and more will test your rom.Many use Google Translate so it is not a problem .

Bug :

* lock no longer stand in the center circle,sometimes not always
[Android General] aleksandar9999a:
You're right. Nova launcher will be replaced with the free version, but root Explorer will not remove... I will fix lockscreen.
[Android General] flashxml:
You should try a logcat see if you have some error ...

How to completely close the tablet, because it enter in standby when I hit shutdown,and after wakeup It has small errors.Errors disappear only if I restart my tablet

Need help to recover my A2107-AH

Hi friends,

Need some help to recover my A2107. Details below.

Device : A2107A-H - Dual Sim - 16GB

Status: bricked

How: fell down :(

Power switch press: nothing happens

Connect to charger and Power switch press: Lenovo boot logo + battery charging animation

Once in a while, it shows some two-line message below the Lenovo boot logo for a second. Unable to read what it is.

in Device Manager as MTK USB port, able to connect via SPFT.

What I have tried:

Flashed entire Stock Rom...

Flashed Only Preloader

Flashed everything except Preloader

Memory test result screenshots attached: "NAND Flash not detected" :crying:

SFPT shows NOR and NAND as N/A

Is there anything else I have to try? Is this recoverable without hardware repair?

Expecting some helpful replies from experts.

Thanks

by preinstall driver, did you mean re-install the MTK USB drivers to my win7 computer?

Hi,

I wanted to flash this ROM from post #2345#. In twrp recovery stucked on step:

Restoring boot.img...

......

OK

I tried with cwm and twrp. Same error

Thank you
[Android General] borisw:
Anyone ??????
[Android General] AndroSteel:
If it manages to pass MD5 checksum, then the backup file is correct, so try a custom restore, after formatting /system in Mounts and Storage

Custom restore /boot, /system, /data (if its present) and then again wipe the data and reboot.
[Android General] borisw:
Hello, thank you for your replay. Please can you explain me in steps. So after flashing i stuck on: boot image Ok. Whats next. Again reboot

into recovery and do what you wrote ?

I dont have custom restore in my twrp version ?
[Android General] borisw:
I follow your steps and get back to my previous rom.

But I dont have problem to restore my previous rom, i got backup. I just want to flas this one.

Thank you
[Android General] AndroSteel:
Please explain me what are you actually doing to flash the ROM, and the recovery log if possible.
[Android General] borisw:
Hi,

Like always when I am flashing new ROM: wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data. Then, try to flash rom and stuck in:

Restoring boot..... OK.....

Never sent log before, I'll sent when i figure it out how to do that. :)

Thank You
[Android General] AndroSteel:
Firstly, format /boot in Mounts and Storages and try again flashing. Also, the recovery log is situated in /cache/recovery/log or /tmp/recovery/log most of the cases, but firstly check if you have an in-recovery option to show the log.
[Android General] borisw:
Dont have format boot in mount and storage

Hi guys, its me again

Ive decided to use my A2107-H 16gb dual sim as a "Car Dash Tab" and an ebook reader,music etc on the go

So I found this WIP app called "Auto Mate" which has Android Auto UI as some of you may be aware,sadly it only supports newer android versions, how to make it work on ICS? any idea

Also whats the most stable ROM?

Right now Im rooted on the stock 4.0.3 rom without calling and stock recovery

Am scared to brick it as well, what are your suggestions?

Also heres the fastest Launcher on my current setup, rom etc for those interested, its deadly fast -

Its called Holo Launcher HD

I cant post links because im new

PS-whats the best music player as well?
[Android General] aleksandar9999a:
The best launcher is Nova launcher. For music player try poweramp. You can try foxtrot or some of my moded rom.

P.c. I will upload new version rom. It is lewa rom but I clean this rom and added some thing.

Sorry for bad English.
[Android General] borisw:
Hello,

when will be new version ?
[Android General] pivotier:
A2107a-h_s309

I rooted my device, and i took a back up of the whole ROM with GScriptLite.

Then i installed Titanium backup and removed some preinstalled apps after backing up all of them.

After that 9 times out of 10 my tablet stops at logo screen during boot.

The one time that the boot is successful, the tablet has a very slow response, a blury screen and the navigation is impossible.

I tried a hard reset(factory mode) with no luck.

I entered the recovery mode but i can't find the backup i took with GScriptLite(i can see it in my sd card from windows environment when i connect the tablet with my pc and i also have a copy in my pc's hard disk).

What else can i try ?
[Android General] AndroSteel:
You shouldn't have uninstalled pre-installed apps, or at least not those who make the phone work. You'd have taken the backup from the recovery also. Now, depending how your backup is (if it includes /system) you can restore your phone to a working state, but firstly I'd like to know what recovery have you installed?
[Android General] pivotier:
I haven't installed a recovery.

I followed a guide that i found in this forum and i only completed the first two steps :

The only thing i did after, is to install Titanium backup and deleted some preinstalled applications.

I wonder if the recovery.img file i obtained in step 2 of the above guide can be of any use in my case.

I also don't know how and if i can use the backups that i made with Titanium before uninstalling the preinstalled applications, given the fact that even if i can boot in my tablet, i can't navigate and run any application.
[Android General] AndroSteel:
In this case, you need to mess up with SP Flash Tools (on your own risk, even though people said this tablet can be recovered and is not completely brickable)

Download the latest version of SP flash tool (google for it)

Then you must download a CWM or TWRP recovery for your tablet (A2107-H has a seperate thread for recoveries, download the one that suits your model)

Now you need the scatter file from your tablet, which you should also get by a forum post (can't help u here, don't own the tablet anymore)

Run SP flash tools as admin, and load the scatter file (note that this is specific to a device model, and is literally the partition table)

Now untick every other box, except recovery.

Double click on recovery and navigate where you downloaded the CWM recovery and pick the .img file

Now press Download! (If that doesn't work, do NOT format anything! I'll help you eventually)
[Android General] pivotier:
I went through the process and after i clicked Download on the SP Flash Tool nothing happened.

Then i pressed the reset button on the back of the tablet and the process started.

I get a red full progress bar on the SP Flash Tool with the message Download DA 100% on it,

and i receive the following message in a pop up window :

'PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded'

After a little google search i found out that many suggest to select the firmware upgrade choice on the SP Flash Tool and not the download only one in order to avoid this error.

Should i try this way ?

Tablet still can't boot.

I can boot only after entering Factory mode and clearing emmc but the device is practically unusable (no app icons, no settings choice etc).
[Android General] AndroSteel:
If you pick firmware upgrade, it will require you to tick every checkbox and require seperate images for /system, /recovery, etc. so thats gonna be the last choice (if everything else fails).

Now, can you boot into recovery (keep power button+ both volume buttons pressed simultaneously)?

And if you can, is it the stock or the recovery you downloaded through SP flash tool?

Edit: You can try the firmware upgrade option and try for yourself, it won't do any harm (as long as you dont FORMAT anything).
[Android General] pivotier:
I tried the firmware upgrade option and i got an Invalid ROM or PMT error message.

I can boot in Recovery mode but i can't tell you if it is the stock or the one i downloaded,

as i don't know how to identify them.

One new interesting fact is that i was able to run Titanium Backup in one of my rare succesfull boot atempts,

but it wasn't possible to restore the safety backups of the deleted applications that i made with Titanium,

as it asks me to enable permission for third party programs(unknown sources) and i can't access the settings menu of my tablet,

as the option disappeared from the bottom of my home screen.
[Android General] AndroSteel:
Could you tell me what do you see written on the screen when you enter recovery? Do you see 'Backup and Restore' or 'Advanced' as submenus there?

Its very important, because if you have the CWM recovery, we can manage to run privileged commands through Android Debug Bridge (adb) or at least see if we can restore anything from the backup you took with the script.
[Android General] pivotier:
I see the following :

Android system recovery <3e>

Android system recovery utility

reboot system now

apply update from sdcard

apply update from cache

wipe data/factory reset

Just no worries is all done now. Is actually doesnt matter, is a launcher from chinese or european version, same results different icon
[Android General] mmis:
pemergency many thanks for your efforts, you were the leader in this device modding project.

I have two questions, is it supporting Arabic language? And the second is about the manual and tools, maybe I am not uptodate with the this development but is there any update to the firmware installation post in the following posts which needs manual update?
[Android General] AndroSteel:
Oh I see, unfortunately its the stock recovery and that doesn't helps.

Now the only thing to try next is flashing a whole new ROM with SP flash tool, but firstly BACKUP your current one (with SP flash tool). The backup procedure I can't help because I'm on a phone, but I'm pretty sure a google search will do.

Then, [MENTION=4796707]syserr[/MENTION] has a FAQ and a collection of ROMs (go to his profile > signature)

Navigate to (SE)ROMs from syserr's signature and then go to the SP Flash tool section of ROMs available.

Now you've got to pick one of your choice.

After you download, if its a zip, unzip it and put everything in one folder. Now run SPFT and load the scatter file (of the ROM you downloaded).

Now, best would be to Firmware Upgrade (try with DA DL checked or unchecked)

Always, make sure to press the reset button on back of your tablet.

If Firmware Upgrade fails showing stuff about PMT, you must do a format (warning: older versions of SPFT actually format your NVRAM and that will delete your IMEI, which is a pain in the s to restore) Make sure you have a SPFT with a more polished user interface (means it newer).

Well, after you format it, press the Download button and wait for it (until you see a green circle or a green √ depending on your version of the tool)

Now unplug the cable and press the reset button again and wait...

First boot is gonna take some time. If you get stuck somewhere feel free to ask, will try my best to help.
[Android General] pivotier:
I took a back up of my ROM.

The problem i have is that when I load the scatter file of the syserr's ROM i downloaded,

i get an error message that there is no path for cache and user data.

I am posting a screenshot of SPFT and appart from the 'no path' problem,

i want you to clarify me if i have to press the Firmware upgrade or the Download option in order to flash the tablet with syserr's ROM

edit :

- with the latest version of SPFT i get : 'Invalid ROM or PMT' when i try to flash

- with the 3.12 version i get a : 'BROM ERROR'

- i finally found a way to enter the settings menu of my tablet and i enabled usb debugging.

Should i use the 'Factory data reset option' or it will not help as i already made a hard reset and practically its the same thing ?
[Android General] AndroSteel:
Apart from SPFT (which you need to format with the scatter file of syserr's ROM loaded and then press Download) we can still recover it assuming you are rooted (without SPFT).

Now, you have to connect your tablet (turned ON) with your computer assuming Debugging is enabled. Now, you should find ADB drivers for your tablet so PC knows how to 'communicate' with it and also download ADB files (There are some apps that find and install them automatically, google)

After that, run command prompt (cmd.exe) and type:

cd [path to adb folder]

(e.g. cd C:/Windows/Users/You/Desktop/adb)

Then type:

adb devices

It must show a serial no. and the status (if that shows we're good to go).

Now type in:

adb shell

It runs the underlying linux terminal and appears as:

$ _

Now type: su and press enter.

Confirm permission in your tablet and it must appear as:

# _

Now please give me a list of all system apps you have in your backups (you can open them in a PC and explore) so we can push them back to /system to make it work.
[Android General] pivotier:
Everything worked as you described and the # appeared!

This the list of the apps i deleted as i can see them in the Titanium backup folder :

- com.accuweather

- com.adobe.flashplayer

- com.amazon.kindle

- com.android

- com.dataviz.docstogo

- com.emobiletelecom

- com.evernote

- com.extent.android.gametanium
