Well, followed instructions to the T...

CWM said "Error restoring /System!"

I went on ahead and rebooted. After the first lenovo logo stayed on screen it rebooted. Then it hung on the first lenovo logo for about 20 seconds, and then this glitchy mess popped up on my screen: It looks like it HALF INSTALLED WHICH IS A HUGE DEAL.

What does this mean? I think it means we're REALLY DAMN CLOSE TO GETTING THIS FIXED!

If I could just figure out why I got the system error...we'd be golden.
[Android General] Al3xxxinho:
Btw, i've heard that the stock chinese rom has voicecalling enabled. Is that true ?
[Android General] Herrthegeek:
Which recovery.img contains the older version of clockwork that does not require the "blobs". The version I can seem to get to load on my "Frankinstein" of an A2107a-f is v6.0.1.5?

It sure looks like we almost got this thing resolved...might have to share a virual beer when this is done.
[Android General] Camborg80-Trey:
I believe it's the Second one (the one makbro didn't cook for D). I know it's a couple posts back.

You're thinking of using the older CWM to try and load it? If you can get it then godspeed and REPORT BACK TO US!

I'm going to hit the gym and check back and try ONE MORE TIME. Otherwise, I'm going to swindle walmart, get a new one, and give them this piece of ****.

Then backup everything necessary for the rest of you so you (and everyone in the future, meaning 5 people lol) who ever own this device can get the stock rom back on.

haha.
[Android General] makbro:
This is good news guys...Now I know I can use "boot.img" and "system.img" from this back-up to cook a CWM Flashable .zip ROM that will work!!!...On it right away ;)

Do a "Format"--->"Auto format whole NAND Flash" before flashing the ROM using the same scatter file !!!
[Android General] Camborg80-Trey:
Well...I think that's all she wrote, guys. I put but versions on my sd card in my tablet, fired CWM up, did the data/factory wipe and dalvik cache wipe, and tried each of them (did the "install zip from sd card option, not the restore option, as I'm assuming these are full-on roms).

For both, I got some messages on the screen, something along the lines of restoring boot.img, restoring system, etc...

No errors, process completed fine.

But, would not boot past first lenovo screen. For either of them.

Unless your supposed to do the "restore" option and not "install from sd card", I'm offically out of ideas guys. If any of you F-model users want to give this a go and get back to us please do.

As for me...It looks like it's a no-go :(

Hi to all. I am new here with my Lenovo a2107.

I have one question for now. How can I add fm radio app to this tablet? I copied RadioFM.apk and odex to /system/app folder but after restart system do not show it in apps. Permissions are set properly. Is there any way to do it without flashing different rom?

Thanks.
[Android General] makbro:
You are welcome...thanx for the compliments :)

I am sorry, none of the custom ROMs has Arabic Language...Although it can be added by modding "Settings.apk", I tried but don't have the requisite expertise I guess...

Any one with apk development expertise out there who can help ???

Answers:-

1. Sorry not been able to port yet properly (Have JB for A2109, the 9 inch version of the device but chipset is different, that's why porting is required)...

2. Check the Anti-Virus or any other security software you have, that might be blocking it, not Android !!!

[Android General] Full Battery:
thanks again for your instant response.

Can you give me a link to download stock ROM with arabic language. because I need to send it back to the maintenance center.
[Android General] makbro:
If you have Titanium Back-up installed, use it to check if FM Radio is already installed (may be incomplete installation)...If it is, uninstall it...

And in either case, first remove the .apk and .odex from "\system\app" folder, copy it in the sd-card or external sd-card and then try to install (after ensuring it is not already installed)...

I have attached an .apk for FM Radio used in Chinese ROMs, it runs without headsets as well !!!

3G connection America

Hi makbro. I read an article that mentioned on 3G connection recovery update radio.img.

I don't know much about this but they say that teams bring all bands but only uses the radio prompted.

I found that several people have recovered 3G bands (850/1900 Mhz), extracting cefs.mbn file from a firmware containing those frequencies.

Could you try that with xkikinx backup?

Thanks in advance makbro :)

Note: The article referred to is: http://www.simply-android.com/discussion/1770/dext-3g-fixed/#Item_32 .

I know it's a totally different team but perhaps we can get to solve the lack of 3G in America.

Hello everybody

I Have a Sony smarteatch and it was working well with my old tab.

Now I can't get it to work with this tab.

When it pairs it starts to pair again.

When it paired once it couldn't connect with tab or connect and disconnect.

Hello everybody,

Thanks for al the work you are doing to improve the Levono tab.

Thanks to the forum I have it now working under the LeWa rom, even the FM-radio and the phone works.

My thanks to all how gave advice in the forum.

I have just one problem!

No programm I have for internetradio''s is working. Not Radion, not Rise-up, not France radio etc.

Most of them say that they have buffered and are playing but there is no sound.

And if there is one station that is working it stops after a while, and does not start again.

My old tab had no problems with this programms, so i think it has something to do with the wifi of the lenovo.

Does anybody have the same problem and is there someone with a solution?

Try doing a "Factory Reset" from "Settings", hopefully that would recover the device...

If that doesn't work, you would have to wait for "Camborg80-Trey" to post his Stock ROM Dump...We would then create a FlashTool installable ROM out of it, that would resolve this issue !!!

Hey makbro,

So, here's where I am so far. I got the gscript backup completely done. I am in the process of getting the MTK Droid Tools backup done but I have a small problem....I can't actually click the "backup" button, even when MTK recognizes that I have the device installed! I attached an image to show you what I'm talking about:

I already have the tablet rooted successfully (using the root method you listed earlier). I did also try to press the root button but MTK gets closed into a continuous loop of not really doing anything. If I click the reboot button, it reboots the tablet (which tells me that it actually IS rooted fine and MTK Droid Tools is seeing it just fine.

I'd also like to make a note that the file you actually attached to this post was not MTK Droid Tools, but MTK Rom Studio (which I thought you attached by mistake). I went on ahead and downloaded MTK Droid Tools from here:

http://www.mobilepoint.us/2012/12/mtk-droid-root-tools.html

All I need to do is figure out how to get that backup option un-greyed and then I can give you BOTH backups! Please get back to me when you can ;)
[Android General] Herrthegeek:
I think you have to check the backup userdata and cache to get backup to un-gray. Its been awhile since I used the to though..so I could be wrong. Thanks again for your efforts sir. Much appreciated!

About the Backup button being grey, Herrthegeek is correct...Also, if you read step 11 of my post, I have stated that you have to check the box "Backup userdata and cache" and then click "Back-up" ;)

A2107A-F vs A2107A-H vs ?, 5 models, which one has FM?

I ordered a "A2107A" in December, hoping all the reviews (and UK site with specs) were correct in saying it had an FM Tuner.

I received a A2107A-F. It did not have an FM Tuner. :(

I see you folks with A2107A-H models have an FM Tuner (and app).

A Lenovo CSR relented and gave me a spec sheet that has 5 models for the US:

2298-B4U (no 3G)

2298-B7U / 59345263 (3G)

59346799 (no 3G)

59335903 (3G)

Can someone with an FM Tuner post which model number you have? Also, what country it came from?

This is driving me nuts! Thanks!

Thanks!
[Android General] manwithmanypiercings:
I don't have an -H. That is the MODEL. It is the A2107A-H not the A2107A-F. It's the one that has dual sim cards. AT&T sells it for $200 out of contract if you really want one.
[Android General] syserr:
Did you buy one from AT&T? That is exactly the one I'm looking at, but I'd like to be sure it has an FM Tuner first. And with Lenovo's ambiguity -- selling everything under the sun as a "A2107A"... I don't want to take a big chance.

So far the AT&T CSR could not even tell me that what they offer is a A2107A-H. Like I said, Lenovo doesn't even have the -F or -H distinction on their website or in their spec sheets. They have *5* different models. I do realize though, that -F and -H are the model numbers seen on the packaging.

[Android General] makbro:
Thanx for the appreciation, I'm humbled...

1. If you have CWM recovery installed, the first step now is to save your folder "nvram" (which is located at "/data/nvam") to your external sdcard and/ or your PC as well for safe keeping(you can do this using Root Explorer)...

2. I hope you have also created back-ups of your stock ROM as I have mentioned in my post here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37845551&postcount=987...

3. Then install "Titanium back-up" app to create the backup of your user-apps so that you can restore these onto your new ROM (You would avoid installing them on new ROM one by one, save time)...

4. After the above, you can decide to install any of the modded ROMs I have posted in this post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37409096&postcount=800 ... The four options are Chinese, Foxtrot, Tesmart and LeWa...My personal favorite is modded LeWa...Download the modded ROM you want to root of your external sdcard...

5. Boot into recovery, perform 3 data wipes (Data, Cache and Advanced--->Dalvik Cache) and then use "Install zip from sdcard" option of CWM and select the ROM zip file to install...

6. After completing installation, power-on device in new ROM and delete the folder "/data/nvram" and copy the backed-up "nvram" folder from first step...

7. Then use "Titanium Back-up" to restore user-apps (Don't restore system apps or system data, just user-apps)...

8. The phone app is built-in the ROM and then phone icon on the home screen also works...start making calls !!!
