Plase, HELP ME

Hi. When I try to start the CWM mode, starting the tablet with "POWER + VOL+" to wipes and install new roms, only can enter in "factory mode".

I tried different combinations: "POWER + VOL+" "POWER + VOL-" POWER + VOL+ + VOL-" RESET etc.

How to return to i can enter in CWM mode?

Of course, i root and i have the tasemart mod now.

A2107A-H 16Gb Dual SIM

Regards from Spain. :cool:
[Android General] mitakvd:
1 - hold the power button for ca 3 seconds

2 - let it go and in the same moment press BOTH Vol + and Vol - buttons.

VERSIONS???

Please, what versions are?

Foxtrot 100? 101? 110???

Tesmart 104? this is = Tasemart?

Lewa versión?

etc...

Sorry & thanks... :good:

And... China ... Foxtrot ... Lewa ... Pemergecy ...

I'm confused

I'm looking for stability, functionality, and some nice ...

I tried the Tasemart, worked great, fast and stable, but it is incomplete, no radio, and something else.

Now I installed the Foxtrot, (do not know which version) of the signing of great boss Makbro.

Something overloaded ... Why 3 launchers? Why other programs are installed that I did not want for anything?

I like the clean ROM, and I decide what I want to install.

Any suggestions please ...?

Superuser does not work, I have to rooting again?

thanks thanks thanks...

Problem

I am with Foxtrot 110 and a tablet freeze when I go to Camera from lockscreen. Is there another with that problem?
[Android General] makbro:
Correct observation !!!

The HDR+ camera also hangs when a pic is taken, does any one else share this problem too ???
[Android General] mitakvd:
I fixed that by installing HDR CAMERA+ over the old app. But the problem with the freezing the camera from lock screen remains.

Lenovo IdeaTab 7.0 A2107 8G

I've spent a significant chunk of the morning browsing these 161 pages, the stickys and have troed to do appropriate homework elsewhere...but I'm still stuck...

I'm efficient and knowledgeable enough that I've managed to root our 2 HTC EVO 4G's and our couple of Wii's (even before the super-easy 'mailbomb')....BUT...I was only able to do so with what appeared to be the definitive, "just follow these directions Dummy" root guides...

Reading posts from the last year or so I'm seeing lots of problem solving but want to be sure I'm using the "latest and greatest" root guide...

My son's tablet (purchased just a couple of days ago) keeps locking up whilst playing "Minecraft"...I've noticed all the bloatware and figure rooting will allow me to get rid of some processes and free up resources...I've actually got 2 others that have never had a problem so I'm confident there's a correlation between the game and the lock-up...

Found a sticky that looked to be the start of a guide, but dunno the date of information...

Hoping someone out there will point me in the right direction...

Thanks!

[Android General] makbro:
Hello Dan,

Here's one possible way (that I used):-

1. Set-up your device with "USB Debugging" enabled and "Connect as--->MTP Device" from "Settings" menu.

2. Install ADB drivers (USB VCOM Driver) on your PC using the "A2107 ADB driver install.doc" (both attached with this post).

3. Extract the archive "4.03root" to a suitable location on your PC (archive also attached with this post).

4. Run "root.bat" file located in the folder extracted in the previous step, device will restart 3 times and the script would ask you to "press any key to continue" on every restart trigger, please wait for complete restart before pressing any key each time.

5. After the third restart, device would be rooted.

Hope this helps.
[Android General] dcard:
Thanks...working it now...

Can't even get Preloader to load...

Is the Tablet plugged into the PC?

Is the tablet on? (as soon as you touch the reset button it shuts down

Put files on the PC or on the tablet?

I'm hurtin' trying a ton of combinations....right now I can't even get started...

...aaaahhhhh.....just saw the new step 1.....Thanks!
[Android General] dcard:
Appreciate the help....but I'm now 3 hours in and I'm doing too much guessing...what's happening simply isn't matching the instructions...I had to use Device Manager to catch the Preloader...and it DID say "preloader", but the "Modem" step (in the .doc), isn't happening the same way twice...once the manual install failed, so I did a System Restore and started again, then it seemed to automatically load what should have been the "modem" step driver before I ever got a shot to do anything (again monitoring Device Manager), though NOTHING ever said "Modem", but I figured OK, maybe that was it....Nope...when I tried step 4 everything just sat...tried it with the tablet on, off, even once after mentally throwing the darned thing off the wall...in the end...I've gotten nowhere...

Is there a CLEAR instruction set out there? Perhaps with some detail? How long do the reboots take? When does the tablet start ON and when does it start OFF? Simple stuff...Once, after waiting a while, I figured "maybe it should be ON"...so I hit the button...said it was in Factory Mode...went back to defaults...

Again, I appreciate the help, and hope you're willing to help me find my way, but you're obviously a few steps ahead of me and things perhaps taken for granted in those directions and even in the .doc are simply to vague to efficiently "follow"....

I'm SURE this isn't a 3-4 hour process...it's likely minutes....

I'd politely ask a MOD to delete my last post as this one pretty well sums things up...I was unable to delete...just edit...

Thanks for taking your time...

And still hoping for some continued and additional help...

Dan

EDIT: Found a link makbro posted on pg. 69, I'm unable to post links but it looks like the same steps with a bit more detail...for anyone else starting w/o a comprehensive understanding of what they're doing...it looks good...

And reading more of Makbro's posts...Thanks for everything you do in here! You are an exceptionally knowledgable and talented guy...really good stuff...
[Android General] dcard:
Are you still around....I've got the same model experiencing the same issues...and think I need the same solution...I've got 3 of these things and have never had a problem...but the one I'm "working on", or rather, "trying to work on", is my son's...bought it a couple of days ago...he likes playing "Minecraft", and while the "requirements" fall within range, I think background processes are making it freeze...

oh yeah...

the catalyst was my son's tablet freezing during, and only during Minecraft...
[Android General] makbro:
If you are still facing issues while installing drivers, the easier but not optimal way of doing that is just install "PDAnet" software on your PC, it will automatically install all drivers necessary to run "root.bat" script...Rest of the procedure remains the same...

By using this method, you may face issues later while trying to flash custom ROMs adn would eventually need to install the drivers using the first method I suggested...However, if you are only interested in rooting, then there's no problem using "PDAnet"...

Hope this solves the issue :)
[Android General] dcard:
I suppose that's the real question...Why do I need/want to root? At the moment, I just want to be able to free up resources by removing some of the garbage software. Honestly don't know enough to know If I want to load a custom ROM.

By way of example, I rooted our phones for the specific purpose of turning on wireless tethering...honestly don't know enough to know if I'll want to load ROMs...rooted, loaded the app, done.

My understanding was that they're more of the GUI than provide actual "capability"...but the more I read here, the more the ROMs look like they deliver actual capabilities vice just interface...

I'd honestly defer to your recommendation...If you'd recommend do X and Y because Z then I'm onboard...would prefer to do it "right" than "easy"...but unfortunately, I'll need some help working through it...

That said, If I get through it, I've already started keeping notes and will put together a comprehensive guide that explains things to the degree a dolt like me can follow...like I said, I can do what I'm told exceptionally well, about exactly what I'm doing, I know exceptionally little...

"With the tablet off, connect your USB cable to the tablet, while holding the reset button, connect the USB cable to your PC. Your PC will attempt to load drivers for "a2107 preloader" (rather than waiting for the baloon in the lower right, I found it easier to monitor device manager...)..."

I'd like to write something up to that degree of granularity...I know it'd sure help me...maybe I can help the next computer literate but Android process dumb dude out there...
[Android General] dcard:
No....

I'm monitoring device manager, and sure enough "preloader" pops up, I manually point to the ADB Win 7 32bit file abd it successfully installs.

Then I remove the usb connection, hold the Vol+ button and re connect....device manager refreshes a couple of times but nothing even remotely resembling "Modem" pops up...

(Not knowing where I stood, I did a System Restore and started again)

preloader, fine...

Vol+ pressed, reconnect, then I tried to instal the driver for "whatever it came up as"...again pointing to the ADB Win 7 folder...

- Question here, we're talking about "drivers" (plural), but the file I've got seems to only have one applicable driver...there's a folder for 3 different OS's and then within those, a single Win-7 32bit file....even if it were to show up as "Modem", would I again point to the same file?

-----

Another instance, and while I forget what was installed, after doing the Vol+, it went through an automated install routine and installed "something" successfully...so I tried to run the root.exe, got the ensure debugging is on message, made sure, and hit space...got 4 "error:device not found" lines and a "wait for full restart....let it sit for at least 10 minutes...nothing...

------

Intent is to do a system restore when I get home and go at it again this afternoon...

Thanks for your help and interest in helping.

Dan
[Android General] makbro:
That's actually good, you've installed the "Preloader" sucessfully...So now you can in-fact install "PDAnet" to do the rest for you :)

EDIT : And I just noticed that you referred one of "garringm" posts...Does that mean you have an A2107A-F ???
[Android General] dcard:
Uh-oh...Yes...have I wasted your time?:confused:

Thought I had that in here somewhere or had omitted it because I had read that the root worked across the board....damn...
[Android General] makbro:
No, not yet :)

You can root it and get rid of the extras that you intended !!!
[Android General] dcard:
"Not yet..." Bwaa-ha-ha-ha ... an emoticon just doesn't cover it...

Well played sir, well played...

So I'll install preloader, then PDAnet, then run root....

When I run root, what's the tablet's state? start off, start on?
[Android General] makbro:
I was not trying to be sarcastic at all but I apologize if it was...

The tablet has to be ON when you run the batch file...After rooting, you can use Titanium Backup to get rid of the bloatware and extras :)
[Android General] dcard:
Not at all...I literally laughed like hell...
[Android General] dcard:
OK...I've managed to make the same thing happen twice...

did the "reset" connect and loaded preloader driver successfully...

Then, when I did the vol+ connect, it automatically, and successfully installed "MTK USB Port (COM3)" and "Media Tek Preloader USB VCOM Port (COM4)"....

Disconnected, re-connected, USB Debug, Media device...tried to install drivers and failed to install "A2107A-F" (still sitting in Device Manager with an exclamation point)...

Ran "Root" and got:

daemon not running, starting it now on port 5037

daemon started successfully

error: device not found (x3)

Then the "please wait" message....

been sitting here 8 minutes now...no sign of a reboot....

....went the PDA-NET route...

Done....

...with that part...

Will keep you posted...was SOOOO close to doing it right too...just couldn't get "Modem" pointed to the driver...very strange...

I endeavor to do well detailed post and interesting questions, necessary and very easy to answer (for those who know the answers) and NOBODY bothers to answer.

After any person enters and asks nonsense and everyone responds instantly.

That sucks!

But no problem, everything works perfectly and now I know what it is without doubt the best. The only difference is I did not either will share, at least HERE.

[Android General] makbro:
With all due respect my dear friend FAP31, whenever you asked for a solution to a specific problem, I did respond with a suggestion based on my meager knowledge...Example are :- http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41207957&postcount=1532 and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40699250&postcount=1463

However, when you ask about features of ROMs that I have repeatedly posted on the thread and in the end you don't like any of the custom ROMs available, I cannot say anything more about that, can I ???

The posts that you refer to ask for specific features of the ROMs which I have also posted about in this thread and the best way to find out is actually flashing them and testing yourself as everyone has different choices and views...As for the recommended ROMs, I have repeatedly posted my recommendations in the thread that are Foxtrot and LeWa...

About overloaded ROMs, you can always use Titanium Backup to get rid of what you think is bloatware...No one can cook specialized custom ROMs for each individual user in the thread :)

I try my best to help out anyone, but since I cannot spend all my time on the thread and do nothing else, I focus on users running into problems with the device rather than answering question about features and customizations, answers to which are already available on the thread !!!

Still, I would like to apologize that you felt neglected on the thread !!!
[Android General] FAP31:
I asked just updated tips, and that is more important: what are the version numbers of the ROMs published in your signature?. understand it is good to know that I'm downloading the latest version, or lack of time / interest, one old.

Well, no problem. Thanks for all.

Hi Foxtrot,

I was not able to make the meaning of your above post, it seems that the clarity is lost during google translation.

What version of android is this custom ROM based on? Is it 4.0.3, 4.1.1 or 4.1.2?

I am looking for a custom ROM for A2107A-H 16Gb based on Android JB 4.1.x.
