[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonesolouk:
Thank you your help so far.

Unfortunately the driver still did not install as device manager still shows code 28 error as in earlier post.:confused:

It will not initially install in regular mode; so I forced installed it by disabling driver signature check. Afterwards it came up with a big red warning pop-up when I tried to install it, so I chose 'Install anyway'; and it seemed like it did. But when I checked device manger it still had the yellow error mark against the Ideapad A10. Clicking on its property reveals code 28 error.

May be it is simply not compatible with Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit? Or is it because I have no external microSD storage installed?

I thought to contact Rockchip but on that website there is no contact information. Sad 'cos I am desperate to root this tablet.

Thanks a lot mate. Really appreciate all your help. Still open to any suggestions please.

Cheers

Success at last!!

@ hell_fire79

Thanks to you I have succeeded:D.!

The problem was with the ADB drivers. So what I did was, after looking at the file you sent me, I copied my device ID to the ADB drivers .inf file (android_winusb). Then I force-installed them together using the installer in the RK Driver Assistant. After that there were no more errors in the Device Manager menu.

Kingo did the rest! Now I can get busy!

Thank you again.

If any one wants a step by step tutorial on how to install in Windows 8, let me know and I will do one here.

Thanks again mate, Cheers

Help with key combo into boot loader mode

I have managed to root the A10 with Kingo. I force-installed Googles USB driver to get ADB to work on my Windows Vista system.

With the "rkflashtool" I was able to perform a full backup of the internal NAND. But I'm still a little afraid of fiddling around with the system, because for now I can only get into the bootloader with "adb reboot bootloader". Has anybody found the secret key combo which makes the device go into boot loader mode without requiring any Android support?

I'm also not sure whether the boot loader is locked. I could mount the /system and /data partitions of my backup, but does being able to read them out already mean that the device is not locked?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hell_fire79:
I had none of the Key's tested so far .. all i know is that some of them are working in recovery .. so i guess vol+/- and/or home etc. should do the trick.

You did a full backup in rkflashtool? ... good to know, so i can eventually try OMA's Rom :) (which should also support loop devices - for linuxOnAndroid .. sadly i will not have time this weekend .. because it's ESO Beta again :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardcordaniel:
It might be possible, but so far I don't feel comfortable with changing things, I could easily brick the device. The layout of the NAND partitions is defined at the beginning of the flash itself:

mtdparts=rk29xxnand:0x00002000@0x00002000(misc),0x00004000@0x00004000(kernel),0x00008000@0x00008000(boot),0x00010000@0x00010000(recovery),0x00020000@0x00020000(backup),0x00040000@0x00040000(cache),0x00200000@0x00080000(userdata),0x00002000@0x00280000(kpanic),0x00200000@0x00282000(system),0x00100000@0x00482000(cust),-@0x00582000(user)

the "userdata" partition is 0x200000 * 512 byte = 1GB in size. By shrinking the "user" partition and moving "kpanic" and "system", "userdata" could be enlarged. But I'm not sure whether "kpanic" can be moved easily - and I'm not sure either about the whole process itself.

I've stopped all customization atempts right now. Because i didn't find any key combo to start the device into fastboot/bootloader moder, except directly from a running Android using reboot comands.

So, if you decide to install a custom software and the device will not boot you'll have brick and can do nothing to revive the device

....i guess there is some sort of key combo but lenovo won't tell me :(

Fastboot

I have try to find a way to get into the Fastboot

Put the Device into your PC and turn it off.

First hold the Power-Button still you will see the battery.

Now you can only turn off the screen by pushing the Power-Button.

Take care, often the Device will restart.

If the Screen is dark,hold the "three-dot-button" right the AltGr Button and push short the Power-Button.

The pc should find the device.

I have tried something and hope I can help to get in future a custom rom.

I love the ideapad <3

Guys,

i am a noob trying t get into fastboot on my (sister's) lenovo a10

i tried:

and:

but still i get nowhere.

I can connect with adb, I get the device listed with adb devices, but "fastboot devices" spits out nothing

fastboot reboot-bootloader turns the A10 off

in some cases I got the A10 to restart in temporary mode, but it seems like random depending on how lucky I am with pressing and holding the power button.

is there anyone that can help me out?

thank you so much

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hell_fire79:
Ok, it's really not that difficult at all, you need to turn of the device completely and connect to PC using USB, after a while you'll see the Loading animation and shortly after your PC will see the Device in ADB-Mode .. from there you can then do a ADB reboot bootloader. (asuming you have the drivers properly installed)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcarni:
ok thanks, I am away from home for a business trip untill the weekend, I will report back soon

regarding the drivers, i assume they are ok, I can launch adb from a linux machine and from an XP computer, in both cases adb devices gives the correct output.

adb reboot-bootloader just turned the lenovo off, but maybe I have been too impatinet and I was supposed to wait longer....

You can't use Arctool if your device is not able to boot because of a dead image ;)

for your Problem -> download the sources from the lenovo Support Page, there is a bootloader included. (look in the dir containing the flash util)

Edit: specifically: take a look at: kernel\rktools\RK3188DevelopTool\RKDevelopTool_v1.37 .. if you start the rkandroid tool there you can flash your Bootloader - if your Device is in Bootloader mode.

@ hell_fire79,

it is probably something silly that I am missing but still I get nowhere...

I turned the tablet off

I connected it to my computer,

I see the battery animation...

I tried my luck with adb...

the outcome of “adb devices” is:

List of devices attached

0123456789ABCDEF	device

the outcome of “fastboot devices” is nothing

“adb reboot-bootloader” runs the tablet off

if I have the tablet on, the output of “adb devices” is:

List of devices attached

UB02126899	device

but also in this case “fastboot devices” gives no output and “adb reboot-bootloader” just turns the tablet off.

I cannot understand what I am doing wrong and i am slightly going mental with this thing....

would really appreciate any suggestion....

thanks a lot

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hell_fire79:
... turning your Tablet off, connecting it to PC and wait for battery was the right step to get into this flashable state. At this point you can use ADB reboot bootloader - the tablet seems to be off after that, but your PC should recognize a USB Device.

The fastboot on this device does not show anything

on the screen, but believe me it is in fastboot.

After all, you can an any time get into the battery loading ADB and from there to Bootloader.

EDIT: Keep in mind to never use USB3.0, because it will not work!

Edit, edit: when in Bootloader mode, you'll get a RockUSB Device try the Lenovo Driver Assistant at this point to get working drivers. http://dl.radxa.com/rock/tools/windows/RK_DriverAssitant.zip

eventually you need to force install.. but normaly this should work.

then follow these steps:

1.) start RKAndroid Tool 1.37

2.) gather the files

-Config

right klick on "Load Config" in the empty space -> use the config support with the lenovo open source files.

-Loader:

It's also contained in the lenovo open source files.

-parameter

- same as abbove

-misc, kernel, boot, recovery, system

use the ones i provided on Google.docs

-cust

it's the backup.img

3.) mark all checkboxes

4.) watch it flash all files.

Pro: my images provided at google.docs are allready Pre-rooted ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danciuSU:

Nice, I didn't realize it actually went into fastboot mode, because ./fastboot devices would not show anything. Then it means we can safely try a new custom ROM, right?
