Randomly, but becoming more often than not, most of my Control Panel icons disappear...

All the third party applets, and some core system ones are gone...

This can occur from restart, or in the middle of use, but when they've gone, I've got to restart a few times to get them back....

Anyone else getting this problem?

I've got JetWare 1.30 and SPB applications installed.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
When that happened, were you able to correctly access the microdrive and storage card correctly,say, with file explorer or total commander?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] jmdrizen:
Yep, no problem with other storage... upgraded to WM6 now, hope that sorts it... :-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cyberjak:
nope upgraded to official t-mobile rom and still same problem exists

Same here. At first, thought it was rlToday but still ...

... occurs when I don't use the program. I looked in the registry and saw that HTC places some of the icons in it's own menu. Haven't tested it yet but think the one's in its menu are the ones that disappear periodically. Have you had the same thoughts?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivek_Vivek:
Hello XDA,

My G3 got into a bootloop and I finally resorted to flashing stock ROM in order to get the phone back again. My internal memory has been wiped. Is there any way I could recover the data without complicated procedures? I saw one on XDA, and it is too complicated for my level of tech understanding. I would sell my soul if I could, to recover the data.

A million thanks.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
Hey guys

My friend just bought a new Huawei Mate 7 Gold yesterday and I checked the Android version and it says 4.4.2 Kit-Kat. He'd like to update it to Lollipop and since I have been doing such things for years on Samsung and HTC devices I thought I should help him out by checking the forum first. I found a helpful article about updating it to Lollipop OTA, however it is in German and the translation is terrible, so can anyone point me in the right direction?

As I said, the device is brand new and still has 4.4.2 unmodified Kit-Kat on it.

This is the article I am talking about: http://www.huaweiblog.de/huawei/huawei-mate-7-lollipop-update-download/

Thanks guys!
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papped:
There's a thread dedicated to this in the general section
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
Thanks for you reply and for pointing me out to the right thread. From what I've read, it seems as though the Lollipop update is quite unstable nowadays and I should hold off till it's official, correct? I don't want my friend to go through a hassle because of it since he is not very tech-savvy.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jopomopo:
I have installed lollipop 5.1.1 beta and its quite good but there's still many bugs. Maybe it is better to wait the official release.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluelavender:
I agree. If your friend is not tech savvy, hold first and wait for official release
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papped:
It's usable as a daily driver, but no, not as stable as 4.4.2.

Generic overview:

-random reboots, not extremely frequent but they happen.

-some memory issues compared to 4.4.2

-a bit less battery

-some options not present
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janrck:
Hi, someone knows when will be release the official version of lollipop? No betas
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papped:
Nope, and tbh i'm not extremely eager to run lollipop on most phones right now... Google screwed up pretty bad on this major version.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluelavender:
I second that. While material design is nice to look at, the memory leak and battery drain are causing issues in some lollipop phones

My playstore not working said. " cant initialize...."

I know the cause of this is the freedom. I used freedom when im in kitkat official. Im also rooted that time. Then i forgot to delete the "host" file before updating. Now my "at&t galaxy s4 is 5.0

1 official" can someone help me root this device pls. To fix this problem ? Or any fix/method to this problem without root ?

I also dont know what is lock and unlock bootloader, even how to check if i have lock or unlock bootloader. What does it mean if i have lock and unlock bootloader

Note: my galaxy s4 is at&t 5.0.1 not rooted.

My galaxy s4 at&t can read any sim card because its already factory unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
First, freedom is warez. DO NOT USE IT. To get you're phone working properly again you'll most likely need to flash the nb1 firmware in Odin. You can then work on rooting your device and getting back to 5.x. But you'll have to read this very carefully first, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53758227

Can u teach me how?

How can i downgrade from 5.0.1 to kitkat again if thats posible.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
All at&t i337's have a locked bootloader. So don't worry about that. Carefully read the link I gave you. Yes it's long and yes it's going to take a lot of reading and re-reading before it makes sense. And yes you can downgrade to kitkat, nb1, and yes you can have root on 5.0. Look at how to flash nb1 in Odin, how to update to nc1 and root, and how to keep root to oc3, 5.0.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
The people who contribute here donate their time to the forums. Usually, they do it because they like to help others. For many it is like a hobby.

However, there is already a lot of information collected here on the forums. Most people don't really enjoy saying the same things over and over. And besides, it is not really very polite to ask someone hold your hand, when you can find the information and process it yourself.

Most people here would say, if you can't understand the directions, then you shouldn't probably be trying to modify your phone. So, to re-iterate what jd said, read the instructions, read them again, and again if necessary. Only proceed when you understand what you are doing. If something doesn't make sense to you, ask a specific question and someone will be happy to explain.

You should flash nb1 using desktop Odin. This will return your phone to fully stock I337UCUFNB1 which is KitKat 4.4.2.

You may also want to read through this thread several times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dxtrr2894:
Is the nb1 is universal ? I mean, how can i know if this fits in my device ? I337 att

Can i use any versio of odin ? Or the latest ?

Thanks alot. Ill try tomorrow. Its 1am here thanks bro. But just for now ill look for nb1 download link
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
nb1 is shorthand notation for I337UCUFNB1, as I said in my previous post. The first part (I337) tells you that it is for your phone.

Any version of Odin should work okay. Odin3 v3.09 is usually used with the S4.

Follow the link in my previous post, which leads to the thread "[GUIDE]Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Installing Safestrap." In that thread, you will find links to all the downloads you need.

Again, read until you understand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dxtrr2894:
AFTER THE NB1 WHATS NEXT ? i downloaded the nb1 rootable. Later ill flash it thru odin.

Thankks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
If you want rooted Lollipop, see this thread.

Please follow my advice, and read until you understand.

[Android General] igloohed73:
Just got this same Tab for my son & have been looking around for the best ways to root. It's actually a nice little tablet. For $65 I'm quite impressed.

Couple questions for you if I may.

-Does this download have any prerequisite downloads, surveys or ads before it's installed on my PC? You know, junk & not just the program.

-Which super user app is installed?
[Android General] Nickco43:
Kingo root comes with all the files you need with no surveys or bloatware. It installs its own super user program but I deleted it wit ha system app remover and installed super su from the play store. If you can, after you root your tablet can you pull the stock lenovo launcherHD and upload it to here. I deleted mine and you need it to change the lock screen wallpaper.
[Android General] cactusek:
hI guys!

Good to see topic about our tab 2. Small question - any1 of you got lolipop update already? Week ago Lenovo said it's ready... I have so annoying touch bug and hope update gonna fix this.
[Android General] Nickco43:
The update is not out yet but lenovo said late summer so I would think it would come out sometime in august. Once it comes out can someone try kingo root on it, I'm not updating if I can't get root.
[Android General] cactusek:
Lolipop is out, but not in every region yet. Sadly, not in mine too (Poland).

[Android General] Nickco43:
Well I tired to get a recovery on the tablet but failed. Mtk tool and sb flash didn't work since the tablet is write protected and also I don't think is works for media tek 8 series chips like it does with 6 series chips. I was going to build twrp but you need a unlocked bootloader to flash it and when I run fastboot OEM unlock it returns three dots. I think my fastboot drivers got messed up after I unhard bricked my OnePlus and that's causing it to return 3 dots. I will try another pc and report back.
[Android General] Nickco43:
Nope it still returned the three dots. Well I'm out of ideas to unlock the boot loader. Maybe a more experienced dev can do it or we can ask lenovo nicely.
[Android General] SpontaneousMixx:
Bootloader

According to a thread on the lenovo community... the device has a mediatek proceesor, which can be flashed without unlocking anything using their SP flash tool. Only downside is any custom roms would have to be built for mediatek and using a "scatter" file.

Thread: forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Android-based-Tablets/how-to-unlock-the-Lenovo-A3000-bootloader/m-p/1588718/

Stock Rom: androidxda.com/download-lenovo-stock-rom-models

Flash Instructions: androidxda.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool

The rom's source is also available on the Lenovo support site.

Unfortunately, I'm not expert at anything to make anything happen with this information.

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

Then again, all that may have nothing to do with the A3300, since it's all based on the A3000... but same processor type? doesn't seem like mediatek has any info on their site about it either.
[Android General] SpontaneousMixx:
TWPR Success

It was like pulling teeth, but I FINALLY got TWRP running on this tablet. It was EXTRA painful for me because the tool I use asks you to select your device resolution and like a dummy, I actually picked 1024x600 (which is the device's resolution in landscape, but not portrait mode.) When the thing finished installing TWRP and booted up, I was locked out of the tablet because the touch elements for twrp to actually restart or even unlock the device ran off the screen making using them impossible. I had to wait seven hours for the battery to finally die before I could access the thing again, (thanks for skipping the reset button on the a7-30F, Lenovo!)

In a nutshell though, I started with Kingo Root, which was successful, and then used Easy Magic TWRP Installer made specifically for mediatek devices, found on another xda thread. JUST MAKE SURE that when it says "Unable to detect your device resolution" that you choose the highest res below 600x1024 (it was like 546x964 or something like that. I can't remember exactly.) After I had a working TWRP, I switched to chainfire's SuperSU

I hope this helps.

[MENTION=5760634]SpontaneousMixx[/MENTION] Nice Adding it to master list
[Android General] Nickco43:
I'm going to try to port cm 12.1
[Android General] SpontaneousMixx:
Let me know how it works...

The biggest challenge with installing a ROM methinks though, is that you have to use the SP Flash tool to actually upload a rom. I could be wrong... I haven't tried through TWRP. It took me so long just to fix my screw up that I put it down for a while. The SP Flash Tool needs some kind of Android Scatter file, (probably a Lenovo specific MT8127_Android_Scatter.txt), which I have been unable to find or figure out from the source. I'm just not that talented. :(

It IS entirely possible that just applying a rom via TWRP will work fine, but it's also likely that the system will bark at you. I'm curious to see what happens.:good:
[Android General] Nickco43:
Usually you can get the scatter file for mediatek device with mkt tools but the option is blocked out when I plug the tablet in. I downloaded the cm source but I ran into my first hiccup when I use cat /proc/mtd to extract the boot.img it won't show any of the partitions.
[Android General] SpontaneousMixx:
Yeah, I think the mtk tools app is unable to access the root shell on the device for some reason, keeping it from being able to grab the scatter. I'm not sure why it's not working though. I got SuperSU installed and running on the tab, but that application still fails to get to the root shell.
[Android General] Nickco43:
I can't find any time to work on porting cm to the A7-30; Can anyone else give it a shot.?
[Android General] SpontaneousMixx:
I would love to, since I have downloaded the source... unfortunately I don't have the technical know-how to really work on it. :(
[Android General] ammmze:
I've got the scatter file

I've got the scatter file...

It was dumped into the 'last_log_r' file from my last update. Then today I downloaded the lollipop OTA and pulled the scatter file from that (this is what I attached here).
[Android General] Nickco43:
How is the update? Is it worth it?
[Android General] PGHammer:
Porting from the A7-10F might be doable

Different SoC as well (there are four PHABLETS in the A7/TAB2 series - A7-30 G/GV/H/HV that use a MT838x SoC - no relation other than ODM to the MT8127).

The TAB3 (unlike the TAB2) shipped with Lollipop; I have no idea if it uses the MT8127 that my TAB2 uses.

There are ROMs for the A7-10F, however, what would it take to port them to the A7-30F? (The sole difference I am aware of is a GPU difference between the A7-10F and A7-30F - the CPU section of each SoC is identical.)

Bricked my Lenovo A7-30DC

Hello there guys!

I recently rooted my Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30DC with Kingoroot and then replaced the root with SuperSu. Everything seemed okay as I cleared my device off bloatware and other manufacturer apps.

Then It prompted me to update the SuperSu library, which then lead to a reboot. The reboot itself left my phone soft-bricked in a boot-loop.

Couldn't fix it , couldn't even load a recovery image from before. Couldn't do anything except apparantly to flash an original ROM. I flashed an "original" A7-30HC ROM (Notice it's a7-30hc not a7-30dc) from since I couldn't find a DC destribution + the devices seemed all the same (Yes , I realize my mistake and that it is all my fault). After successfully flashing , my device turned off immediately and refuses to turn on at all.

I wouldn't be posting a thread here if my phone really looked HARD HARD UNDOABLE BRICKED. Now that I can't turn it on anymore, I can still get it recognized by the computer by pressing all three buttons at the same time.

So my question would be If I flash the correct ROM, do you think it could get fixed.

I tried another distribution A7-30GC I found (cant post links as I am a new-user) and the flash starts and ends with an error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)

[EMI] Enable DRAM Failed!

[HINT]:

Please check your load matches to your target which is to be downloaded.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried fastbooting a recovery.img I had from before installing SuperSu, but it just gets stuck at [waiting for device], even after I hear my tablet is connected to the PC.

I would be so thankful if you guys have any suggestions as to alternatives of what I am already trying, as I really think the tablet is fixable.

Is it possible to just flash any ROM at all and make it at least go back to a bootloop.

Thank you in advance!!!!
