[General Questions and Answers] gogetrd:
We are trying to get hold a custom recovery for Lenovo Tab3-710F. We are using hundreds of Lenovo tablets in our projects and have up until now used Tab2 A7-10 which has a custom recovery build for it (found here att XDA).

The reason we need the custom recovery is for cloning the unit which works good in CWM or TWRP.

The problem now is that Lenovo have stopped selling Tab2 so we are now stuck with a unit we cant clone.

Have somebody successfully created a custom recovery for the unit? If not or if you have we are offering payments/devices to get this working asap. Are you interested please PM us? When we have it we can share it to the world here no problems for us.

If you need to root the device KingoRoot latest APK works.

So hope somebody can help us.

Perhaps useful for you: I've managed to extract the stock rom of a brand new TB3-710F

http://xdaforums.com/android/help/lenovo-tab-3-7-essential-tb3-710f-mt8127-t3416397

This also includes the "recovery.img" so you could try to change this image and simply flashing it. If it does not work you'll have a stock rom to restore it.

[MENTION=5919159]Tzul[/MENTION] [MENTION=6169183]gogetrd[/MENTION] We are trying to achieve something similar, configure about 700 tablets of this model. I have played with custom ROMs in the past, but mostly as a consumer (e.g. Cyanogen on personal devices).

It is my understanding that installation using the files provided by [MENTION=5919159]Tzul[/MENTION] would require to;

0. create a custom ROM.

Then for each device

1. root device (e.g. Developper mode, allow "Unknown source"s, adb install one rooting apk, run it, etc).

2. install custom recovery on device

3. flash custom ROM

Am I right?

If so do we agree that the time spent doing these operations might be about similar than the time spent e.g. manually installing / configuring the device? Or is there a way to automate the steps above?
[General Questions and Answers] mattiemvs:
You can configure 1 tablet, then extract the ROM and flash it with the "download mode". You don't even need to boot the tablet!

Doesn't SuperSU already requires root? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053)

How did you get root on your Lenovo device? (I assume you had one to dump the image)

That's exactly the thing I was worried about when it comes to cloning. Those problems might arise later during QA, and I probably don't have the time required to do it properly this time.
[General Questions and Answers] Tzul:
SuperSU is just like any other root manager. It provides the actual "su" (superuser) binary that other programs rely on to obtain root privileges, plus an Android app for managing permissions and settings. The su binary needs to be installed on the system partition (at least traditionally), but in order to get write access there, you need root privileges. Therefore, this is a chicken and egg problem: SuperSU provides root, but it also needs root in order to be installed. Other root manager are no different - except that some try to exploit security flaws in Android in order to temporarily obtain root and install their su binary.

Anyway, the classic solution to this conundrum is the (custom) recovery: it basically has root built-in. It can write to the system partition by default, after all one of its jobs is to install firmware updates.

TWRP includes a SuperSU stub. If you leave TWRP via the Reboot menu, it checks whether or not the su binary is installed (at least in Android 4 and 5), and if it isn't, it asks if you'd like to install the SuperSU stub. Which you can then use in Android to update to the latest SuperSU via Play Store. But you can also install SuperSU's latest "update zip" in TWRP to immediately install the full version.

Yeah, it is annoying. MediaTek apparently wisened up a bit. Newer platforms they produce do not unpack the NVRAM partition to the data partition anymore. Instead, they use a dedicated "nvdata" partition for that purpose. That way, if you clone the data partition, you at least won't include the unpacked NVRAM data (MAC addresses and IMEI). But still, some other IDs such as the Android ID, references to the serial number, etc. will very likely be referenced by some other files on the data partition.

I created a little "update zip" that can be "installed" via TWRP, which is just a shell script that tries to delete all the files on the data partition that contain unique or sensitive info. I use it to "clean" a data partition before publishing it. But it's not perfect yet...
[General Questions and Answers] Yozen:
[MENTION=5919159]Tzul[/MENTION] Your modified rom is great. But I have one problem with it.

When you connect your turned off device to the power supply there is a clock and charging animation. The clock is several hours ahead of the system clock. System clock and clock during the charging are connected (when I change the system time the 2nd clock also changes the hour).

I was trying to use hwclock but without success.

Is there some kind of file where I can set the correct time zone for the 2nd clock?

Sorry for my English.
[General Questions and Answers] Tzul:
[MENTION=3445859]Yozen[/MENTION] I didn't modify the ROM. I extracted and packaged it.

When the tablet is turned off and then connected to a power supply, it will usually start "off-mode charging" (can be disabled, so that Android will boot up instead). This is handled by the bootloader (LK, lk.bin), which also displays the battery animation and the clock that you see. Apparently the bootloader on this device doesn't handle time zones, because the clock shown uses China Standard Time (CST, UTC+08:00). This is the first MediaTek-based device I've seen which shows a clock in the off-mode charging screen at all. I guess they normally don't because they have no simple way to figure out the user's correct time zone at that stage.

Sir, is there a custom ROM available for Lenovo tab3-710f ?
[General Questions and Answers] .acy:
How did you do it in the end? I'm trying to do something similar here and am very curious! :D
[General Questions and Answers] mattiemvs:
For us it is this "simple".

1. Manually configure a single device

2. Readback the ROM (get the ROM from the device and store it on your PC) using SP Flash Tool

3. Parse the ROM from a single file to multiple files using Mtk Droid Tool

4. (clear cache partition & remove stuff like serial number)

5. Load your ROM in SP Flash Tool

6. Click start

7. DO NOT START your new tablet

8. Connect it to USB

9. Wait (assuming you already have the preloader drivers installed)

10. Done, new ROM is flashed to your tab!

edit:

Oh and with 700 tablets it might be nice to look into compressing the file as the full 8gb dump we flash (and we don't do a lot these days) will take ~30-40 minutes
[General Questions and Answers] Tzul:
That's unnecessary, because the SP Flash Tool can already read back partitions into separate files.

Also, you don't need to clone some partitions like cache, and you really should not clone nvram and parts of data, otherwise you'll end up with tablets sharing unique IDs such as MAC addresses, which will cause problems.

Tzul, you are absolutely right! I typed the items from my mind as it has been quite some time since I've created the ROM

please check the scatter file and select again

Can you help me ? please
[General Questions and Answers] Tzul:
[MENTION=8642500]siegheart73[/MENTION] That is a patched OTA update. It needs to be installed by the recovery (stock or TWRP). If a zip file contains a "META-INF" folder, then it's most likely intended for the recovery, and not for the SPFT.

Information: Many people have already run my ROM and loved it except for... The no wifi BUG!!! After a days of Hard Work I've finally finally rebuilt the ROM from scratch and everything work from editors to wifi. This is a heavily modified lollipop ROM but made to look and feel like a Marshmallow ROM. Its one of the smoothest ROMs I feel that is out there.

For those who don't know what this ROM is it is the ultimate combination between Google and Samsung. I've brought the best of Google and The best of Samsung Together. This includes features such as Always On and Edge Display. For my long time fans this is the update you have all been waiting for.

Special Thanks to Cyber Fiber. I had nearly given up in building this ROM but then this YouTuber pleased me by show casing the ROM and this brought such a warm feeling to my heart and finally we are here. The Ultimate update. Also i have not been neglecting you my long time fans and theme support is the next update if wifi finally works!!?

Comment if it works and please report any problem you find. Also radio is fixed and the ROM is now smoother and Faster.

PS: After you have installed the ROM just leave your phone for 10 mins then return because for some reason startup is a bit buggy.

This is for the Music app cause I was a derp and forgot to install a music app? You will have to extract the folder and put it in the ROM yourself in the folder /system/app.

Thankyou and Good Luck?

Also this ROM supports the a500F but can be installed on other variants although it can be a little more buggy

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Skulldron:
If you are still having trouble with wifi then follow the steps below:

Go to your stock firmware from Iraq or United Arab Emirates and copy the firmware and firmware modem folders to your internal storage

Also copy the original Ril, boot image, libsec Ril dsds.so from/lib and also libsec-ril.so from /lib

Then install the ROM and then use a file manager (by downloading a root Explorer apk) and then copy and overwrite or replace the folders. Also if you are using a variant rather than a500F then go to the build prop and change the model number to your model number.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Skulldron:
OK so I just got some results of the Always on Feature. These results are based on the following settings.

Clock is Calendar

No 24 hours

No seconds

Brightness at its lowest

Edge Display is on

Ram is cleared

It drains about 7% an hour

So you can probably get about 6 hours and lose 40% of your battery

However remember that if you keep your phone in your pocket or the flip cover( any flip cover) or anything that blocks the sensor it turns off always on display. So you probably gonna get 12-15 hours of battery life

Well that's it

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LouieMacGoo:
A few weeks ago after Google I/O I decided to give the N Beta preview a try. I enrolled my phone and everything worked fine. However over the last week or so I've been getting a lot of app crashes and slowness that has been frustrating so I decided to roll back to Marshmallow and un-enrolled my Nexus 6 from the program. Immediately my phone started downloading the latest Marshmallow software update and after reading the warning that all data would be deleted from the phone I installed the update.

Once installed the phone activated the cellular service and the Welcome Screen appeared. I then connected the phone to wifi and was prompted to enter my Google account (email address) and password which it seems to accept but then I get a message that pops up that states "Please sign in using one of the owner's accounts for this device". and it bounces me back to the screen asking for my email address again.

I have 2 google accounts that I've used on this phone and neither seem to work. I have clicked on the "Need help finding your account?" link and answered the questions and I get a window pop up that states " Verify your number Google will send a one-time text message to confirm that (xxx)xxx-xxxx is yours." with the options to verify or try another way to sign in. Verify does nothing, since I can't get in the phone to check the text message they are trying to send and "try another way to sign in" sends me to g.co/recover which has a bunch of options for recovering a lost account but not how to fix this issue I'm having with the phone not recognizing my correct Google account.

So I am really sure where to go to get help to get back into my phone.? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
First things first - You may be tempted to try to change your google password - I'd suggest not doing that - if you do that, you'll not be able to sign in to your phone using that ID for 72 hours.

Now, do you have 2 factor authentication set up? Do you have backup codes printed? (if not, can you use your computer to get to your google account, and get a backup code? Use that).

If you only have the SMS option, move the SIM card to a different phone and get the one time code, and then, move the SIM back to your Nexus 6 and sign in with that.

Edit: weird that you are running into this issue - this would happen only if the Gmail ID you are signing in with now is different than the one you used when you signed in to the N preview, or earlier
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LouieMacGoo:
I'm using the same google account to try to sign in to the phone now as I used with the N preview, so I really don't understand why it's such an issue.

Unfortunately I think I screwed myself up. Initially I thought that my password was wrong (I wasn't paying attention) and I did change it, so based on what you say I will have to wait until Sunday morning to do anything.

I do have 2 factor set up and can get into my Google account on my computers and my Nexus 7 but I don't think it's is helpful at this point since I did change the password. Additionally I don't have a 2nd phone to move my SIM card to.
