Hi, I have also tried with SP Fash tool. I grab scatter file and it loads on the tool. Unchecked everything except recovery and boot. When I tick download I got a popup warning tells me that not all IMG file have been loaded... I cancel the op. Tab is running well. It s only a matter to apply that update and further. I m not sure to flash the complete folder from stock provided by lenovo forum as I can see some IMG file that are not loaded. Ramdisk.img or ram disk_recovery.img etc.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syserr:
I would only ever "Download" (write to your device) boot.img only if you are also installing system.img. The boot.img (or BOOTIMG partition) contains the Linux kernel and ramdisk. Then system.img (or ANDROID partition) holds the rest of the system.

The only think to be careful of (on some devices) is not to overwrite PRELOADER and DSP_BL. The rest you can always recover from in SP Flash Tool. (with the Lenovo A2107A, you can even clobber your PRELOADER and restore it since "Meta Mode" is easy to get into for flashing in any bricked state.)

I guess to put you at ease... This is the way I prefer to install CWM -- the route you were going down but without messing with boot.img. Fire up SP Flash Tool with a valid scatter, and only check RECOVERY and select a CWM image. Then select Download, ignore warning... away it goes. ;) If you don't have the MTK Preload/VCOM USB drivers installed, it might take a few tries since the device might not wait long enough for you to get your PC drivers loaded.

unfortunately the build "I need a ROM with this profile: ((S6000-H))_A422_101_022_131101_((WW))_((SMS))" is not available through download.

you should ask the reason to lenovo suport.

from his words he receved this from lenovo support.

don't know if this one is usable by spft, it seems since there s a scatter file however didn't try yet!

not sure, didn't try it yet!

You describe some problem with you tablet since latest update, i would advice to wipe dalvik & cache from stock recovery.

Another solution would be to factory reset before proceeding any download/flash into the device.

i remind you that there'is not any official firmware available. so don't forget to make some backup.

you are talking about a program?? what program? theme from setting??

hi ant.feredy,

clearly no!!! i wanted to revert changes i've made (recovery - patched boot) because since those "mod", latest 131101 update doesn't proceed.

My reason to not flashing/downloading this into my device is that the file is not official lenovo however I have been told that it comes from a lenovo support forum (thanks to bgcndm). And it is full stock rom (the zip folder contains different folder but one called target_bin where system - boot and recovery img are amongs others used by spftool). It seems good but.......

If you look carefully the unzipped folder and compare this with a spftool backup it doesn't correspond for some files. It contains some file that it's not hold by spftool... file like ramdisk.img or ramdisk-recovery.img. This throw me a doubt.

I need to know what partition are ramdisk.img or ramdisk-recovery.img herited since i do not download anything into my device.

I have to say that i'm not a dev. if a soft brick the device i shall be bored because it 's actually running fine with JB4.2.2 and not sure i could manage to unbricked it! Maybe just a matter of bawl?? :D:D

your concern don't need to flash/download anything. I would first try to step back to stock before any flashing/download conclusion.

ps:

I m sure that the zip file is lenovo build because the manifest.xml...

hi,

have a small problem with the Idea S6000-F from a friend.

Also wanted to flash Back to complete stock because he rooted the device (or only tried^^), it was slow etc....

So i download the Image from here, and installed it with the latest SP Flash Tool (3.1316.0.150).

I loaded up the scatter file, and first "fac" was not checked, so i double clicked it and set the "fac.img" for "fac". Before the Flash i did a complete format

So i flashed with download-option, everything was fine, but somehow the Tablet is a bit laggy now. It works as flawless as it was before.

Especially when i press the middle button to get at the home screen it takes some time.

Than i just wondered about the 2 other files into the Stock rar in the folder "apdb".

What are these for?

So may anyone has a complete tutorial how to stock flash this device? So i mean the same procedure as the manufacture does when i RMA the device.

What do they use? Also SP Flash tool?

Same thing happens on my Asus Memo Pad HD7, was advertised as being MTK 8125, but its actually MT6589 :rolleyes:

FM Radio test on S6000?

Hi S6000 owners,

Can someone with a rooted tablet test something? I have an Asus HD7 tablet with the same MT soc. So I downloaded last S6000 firmware to see what was included in your firmware.

I am looking for FM Radio support, which is supported by the chipset. In your ROM I see all the files necessary for FM Radio support. But I am not sure about the S6000 kernel.

Can you do 2 things for me?

1) check the /data/misc/ProjectConfig.mk for the line MTK_FM_SUPPORT = yes

(if the file is present)

2) copy FMRadio.apk (attached below) to the /system/app folder

The FMRadio.apk is from another Mediatek device. When you start FM Radio you need to plug in a headphone.

I am just curious if it works on the S6000 since all the FM Radio supporting files are in the ROM as far as I can see.

Thanks for testing and feedback.

Nice attitude

And your wrong..

The Roms are stock ones, what you saw in system boot ("normal boot") is the bootloader.

Some bootloaders have that, others don't.

I have 4 Bootloaders for my device:

1 - Stock factory Locked

2 - Stock Factory Locked WW version.

3 - Stock "service" Unlocked

4 - Stock "service" Unlocked WW version.

In the "WW" versions, i get those INFOS on system boot, on the other 2 i don't.
