Please be aware that this TWRP is only for the F variant and will not work on other variants (HC,H,DC, GC) and you cannot use TWRP for the HC,GC,H,DC variant to install SuperSU through the zip install as it it will dismount the system partition and will not remount it and the result will be "system not install/not found" error. This is the difference between the 2 TWRP version not compatible.

Proper A7-30F recovery has been Recovered

I am attaching the proper recovery to this post (it was in another thread).

You DO need the MT8127 scatter when using SPFlash Tool - instead, I used Rashr (the rooted-device version) to flash it. The MT6582 is used in the PHABLET (GV/HV) version); the Wi-fi only version uses the MT8127 processor.
[Android General] dcarrco:
hey [MENTION=7195244]alkaA![/MENTION] i had the same problem and i looked everywhere for the proper scatter and files. I found them here: https://malaysianandroidsupport.blogspot.my/2015/06/tab-2-a7-30-7inch-3g-calldata-h-hc-my.html and they worked fine. my tablet was dead dead and i had to take the battery out and flash it with no battery and then reinsert battery and now it works fine.

BOOT LOCK

FYI ALL MTK SoC devices are not "boot locked" unlesss the Manufacturer themselves has managed to boot locked (which I am so far not aware of) Customs ROM can be build to be "installed" from TWRP/CWM/ ect. As developer when you want to modify/upgrade the bootloader to a none existing upgrade version (like from KitKat to Lollipop or Marshmallow) you should know what to do and try on your bench on your specific model. No ALL Mediatek SoC are not "bootlocked" never heard of it in MTK world.

The US based Lenovo community forum is a waste of time was there. The best Lenovo support site is the Russian Lenovo site where I get my firmware for S939,A369i, Tab A8-A5500, Tab A7-30, A880, A889 (all of which I owned) , the A3300 is available from there : http://lenovo-forums.ru/talks/

TWRP

The TWRP for GC, HC, H, DC is common version 2.8.7 by Jemimi but is not the same TWRP with F ( because F is MT8127) all other models are MT8382 but the TWRP for GC,HC,H,DC have one minor flaw! WARNING! You cannot do " wipe dalvik-cache" or install SuperSU update.zip i.e it will dismount your "System partition" and will fail to remount, nothing you can do to get the system to remounted. You will get error " no OS installed after reboot. All other function is working flawlessly.You are warned. Please request from my blog.

Hi- i just bought on of these great tablets on ebay and i'm trying to install lineageOS on it. I installed lineage on a nexus 7, so not totally new to it, but i wanted to ask- the instructions on page one of the thread were written awhile back- will they still work? There are different version combinations between android version and then there are a few versions of the hardware (a7-30H, HC, and others i think), i'm not sure if it will only work for certain hard/soft versions

The model i have is (according to the tag on the back) a3300-HV, after that it says MT60071. I take it that a3300-HV is the same thing as a7-30? Maybe the mfg try to confuse everyone by having two names for it. Android version is 4.4.2. I've used TWRP quite a bit, it would be nice to have that on this laptop.

The first page says:

Root 4.4.2 and 5.0.1 (Make sure to use the desktop version):

I'm trying to root the android, there is an android version, but it wants me to download the desktop version- meaning windows- is that right? I have linux is there a different way?

I've also read in different places that you can make it incompatible with some software by rooting with, for example, kingroot, is that true? The first page says to use kingroot though.

There are instructions for rooting/unlocking tons of hardware in these forums- in general, is it safe to assume that the first page stays updated with new versions of software needed and instructions, or do people need to read through everything to find updated instructions? i.e. when it links to software to download like TWRP, is it usually safe to assume that link won't be updated to a new version and it will work on your device, given you're using the hardware/software versions it mentions?

Thanks!

The update fails on TWRP recovery.
[Android General] ammmze:
The transition was a little rough. Everything started to force close after the update, so i did a factory reset (which they recommend in the OTA release notes). I personally like the look and feel of lollipop a lot more. I was disappointed however that the touch screen bug (where it takes a couple taps to register) still seems to be an issue for me.

I haven't really played with it much, we use the tablet primarily for my 2yr old's movies in the car.

Long story short, if you're willing to factory reset, I'd do it.

Updated today, all is fine

I didn't have this experience at all. I finally got the update notification today, and it upgraded from S000020 to S000021 to S000027 to finally S000116 (Android 5.0.1).

The initial update from build 20 to build 21 occurred over TWRP via OpenRecoveryScript. Which removed my recovery and my root access.

After reboot build 21 found update build 27 and loaded it via <3e> recovery (but only showed the little android picture with the icon spinning in his stomach)

after reboot build 27 found (much larger) update build 116 (which is Lollipop), same update over <3e> recovery.

So I am now on Lollipop, but I no longer have root, and I no longer have TWRP installed.

I had facebook and play store services crashing... I updated all the apps and google play services app which seems to have alleviated problems with crashes.

Confirm Kingo working (but only with kitkat, not lollipop). Wasn't going to root, but conceded after much hassle trying to get gps apps to put maps onto external SD.

MTK Droid Tool will fail to backup the ROM because it expects an MT6582 but ours is MT8382 ,so it says " fake hardware" unless you know how to modify the SoC list inside MTK Droid Tool.Even that 100% cannot guarantee a perfect backup/restore it has been tried many times before . No success! Good luck in trying.
[Android General] ouro898:
Do you have the files? Searching for the recovery using your search terms gets me to a Malaysian website, I think. I searched everywhere there and still couldn't locate the recovery.

Come to my BLOG for Lollipop S000126 ( second Lollipop version the first was S000125) it is in SPFlashTool version , Root use " iRoot/Vroot" there will be no Customs Recovery for A7-30 nobody has it Philz Recovery is the only one working on Lollipop BUT only for S000125 build not S000126! Rooting is simple use Kingoroot Android app or iRoot for PC.

[Android General] cracktech:

[Android General] cracktech:
Check my previous posting here , it has my BLOG page but for HC S00126 you must make a request to me bcoz it is highly sought after and other Forums would pinch my links. I had made this offer on this thread about 2-3 weeks ago but so far only one person took up the offer ,even then he expected the links to be fed , rather than going through my folder and picking up any files I made available to my Forum users ( except the HC S00126 only by request)

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

I don't understand what you mean by " tampered" with , Yes I tampered the firmware by making the bloatware which is original size of 250Mb to 20 Mb ( dummy file) it doesn't install any apps . No virus or Adware included as can be vouched by my forum users.
[Android General] balcis:
I read your comments so I can convert H to HC with that file, and using sp flash tool is OK?
[Android General] cracktech:
HC and H is only minimal difference but I cant comment on or recommend or encourage anybody to do it. If you do it it will not brick your phablet thats for sure ( but this is only for MT8382 SoC NOT MT 8127 sold in US) After successful use of flash of HC on H you are strongly advised to use my modified "build.prop" to enable video call/3G call/data/ Playstore compatibility/change language to English/US/ and corrected errors in original "build.prop"

TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

It is advisable not to use "Magic TWRP/CWM/PHilz" on Lollipop even KitkAt for that matter because the program is written by a 15 year old boy with credits given to other seasoned XDA developer (correct me if I am wrong) from India and so the only success in using "Magic" is on his own phone nobody has ever reported success by using his method. MTK Droid Tool cannot be used on A7-30 and any newer MTK devices even though it is supposed to support upto MT6582.

Fail to fully Backup/Restore! Use at own risk

first, Im from turkey so I dont think my tablet is US version, 2nd what is build.prop and how to use it?

as third, so you say that flashing by sp flash tool is the better option, right?

4th why are there so many versions for 30HC, bigger is better (as newer version)?
[Android General] cracktech:
My original version in Malaysia is A7-30HC-MY ( there is a "MY") specific only to Malaysia and when Malaysian buyers buy fresh out the box , it was HC-MY S019 KitKat. Most other markets fresh out of the box is normally HC S017.Then we had to modify by taking apart the OTA zip to update to latest KitKat version n manually install the firmware bcoz OTA update 98% of the time will cause the tab to bootloop. We are currently on HC ROW Lollipop S0126 ( it is the 2nd Lollipop release the 1st. was S0125) . My advised to you is not to do what I have given the other users here on your own, Get help from ur friend who knows about Rooting Android becoz by your questions " what is build.prop", it seems you do not know how to mod / root. If you have an original A7-30HC all you need to do is to " flash" the HC ROM and forget about the mod but if yours is an "H" and interested to convert to HC get a more experience guy to do it. Sorry can't give you further help. This is not my forum thread and you need a steep learning curve. It is meant only for intermediate knowledge users. Sorry I can only provide you you with the firmware but I don't have time to tutor you.

MTK Bootlocked???

Most MTK or nearly all MTK SoC firmwares doesnt even have "bootlocked" in their vocabulary. MTK is never bootlocked.
[Android General] Nickco43:
This is my first MTK device so I didn't know that.
[Android General] cracktech:
You meant to root it?

Welcome to MTK SoC world the easiest firmwares to mod and root. Currently A7-30/ A7-10 doesnt have TWRP/CWM and certain inviduals have successfully created this using tools available but thay are NOT sharing it.They are just announcing it and making them look like heroes. So to root this MTK SoC just use iRoot (PC to device method) or Kingroot (both PCand Android version) use the Android version and youhave root.

Normally with TWRP/CWM we install the SuperSU zip at this juncture but since we dont have them using these root method is the better option.
[Android General] iflawlietasgod:
is there any chance to flash TWRP on A7-30 that running lollipop ?

[Android General] balcis:
Now I have some experience points!

I've taken taken the risks and tried to install rom from sdcard (an HC version). I did the wipes and and it gave me error at one third of the process as "this is an HC rom, your version is H". Then it got a bootloop and I get it out of it. Tried again and so now I have 3 time experience of bootlooping it and then fix :)

Now I know from some people who got same error that all I need is a clean flash with sp flash tool and then I'd be able to install same rom from sdcard (or using sp flash to install another rom [S000019] directly).

I tried to install drivers to my Windows 10 pc but unfortunately it didn't work. Now this is my last problem; if I could install the drivers I'd be able to flash the device and then upgrade.

The error about drivers is

1) auto run drivers gave error, tried several times with windows 8 version x64 (windows 8 as closest to win10, and as my computer's processor is 64 bit)

2) second manual method is plug the device in and at the device manager it appears for 1 second, right click and update the driver and show the driver folder manually. But it didn't work either.

So as you see I'm trying and processing, any help about installing drivers would help great. Thank you.
[Android General] cracktech:
If you try to use SPFlashTool on Win10 you are GUARANTEED (even disabling "security" cannot work with SpFlashTool) to fail , 90% of MTK drivers are meant to run on Win XP/ (the best) Win7. Please do your research first! THen if you try to use OTA zip files to update you must be on 100% virgin tablet without any mods or root. (still no guarantee if some smart guy want to use HC OTA zip update on H device). You have to use SpFlashTool version to do that. Lenovo OTA zip update in 90% of the case will result in boot loop. Since we dont have CWM/TWRP/Philz Recovery the only way to recover from bootloop is to reflash the tablet. Good luck on trying to use Win10 to flash MTK. (FYI even Rockchip flash drivers cant work on Win10)
