I just got mine working using some legacy WinMo tricks for the HTC Installer... and I am a n00b at this Droid thingy, so hopefully this is useful and not dangerous or misleading info - use at your own risk!!! Please test and let me know if you have success or if there are better methods for installation. I removed the http preface from the links, FYI...
1. Root the device using the unrevoked.com/m/ method (Steps 1-8 forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701004)
2. Installed MyBackup and created a full backup of Apps and Data to my SD card (should say you are root, and enable the additional backup features)
3. Downloaded the new PC36IMG.zip, renamed it to rom.zip (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835 - under File Needed)
4. Downloaded the RUU Restore Application
(forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685835 - Green Text at bottom of Thread)
5. Run the RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe downloaded from #4 and contiue with the installer until it asks you to select the ROM - then STOP
6. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp and look for the new folders created by the RUU installer
7. Copy the rom.zip from your downloaded PC36IMG.zip (renamed to rom.zip) and overwrite the existing rom.zip file
8. Back to the RUU installer, click the Select ROM, and finish out the installer.
9. I held down the Volume Down button once the phone started rebooting, not sure if it is required or not
10. Wait till it is done installing to release the Volume Down button, tired fingers... ugh, but may be optional
11. Upon reboot, it will take a bit longer than usual, but once it loads, link your account back to Google and download the MyBackup app from your Downloads section, and run the app once installed to restore your Apps, then Data (I use Google for contacts and calendar, so I unchecked those in the restore). Again, you should be informed you are root by MyBackup...
12. Reboot
I haven't tried to finish Step 3 from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835, but I will asap to assure it is complete.
wow, very interesting!
in simple terms you're essentially tricking the RUU into loading a different rom.zip . since PC36IMG.zip (both the userdebug and eng build versions posted by toast for his root methods) seem to be interchangeable with the rom.zip payload of the RUU .exe installers, they are all swappable ....
unfortunately all these .zip files, rom.zip and PC36IMG.zip seems to have the same special HTC encoding which we can't seem to duplicate or we could make our own PC36IMG.zip files.
this seems like a great method and perhaps can get us one step closer! thanks for posting this! the more little tricks the better!

Make a new folder on desktop called 'Downgrade'
2. Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...5&d=1339391278
3. Make a new folder in 'Downgrade' called 'Downgrade Kit'
4. Extract the download into 'Downgrade Kit'
5. Now you should have a folder called 'Downgrade' on your desktop, inside that should be another folder called 'Downgrade Kit', inside that there should be a folder called 'files' and a program called 'runme.cmd'.
6. Make a new folder inside 'Downgrade' called 'RUU'
7. Download this and save it to folder 'RUU': http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0af...308_signed.exe
8. Connect phone to computer, and choose ‘Charge Only’ not ‘Disk Drive’. Enable USB Debugging, and disable Fastboot (If you don’t know how to, ask Dr. Google)
9. Open runme.cmd, it will ask questions! Answer according to your phone not mine! The questions are (If I can remember) i) Do you have root? I answered n. ii) Have you unlocked through htcdev.com? I answered no. iii) Do you want to create a goldcard? I answered y
10. After it successfully completes (if it doesn’t post below) run the RUU in the RUU folder (Remember it erases all data so if you need to, backup everything) , it will take around 10 mins. BE PATIENT!
11. After it installs check if your HBOOT has been downgraded! It should be 1.13.0000
stuck on somewhere between step 9 and step 10 - i have the htc in android system recovery, where it has the options of reboot system now, apply update from sdcard, wipe data/facotry reset, wipe cache partition.
what do i do there?
and i can't 'run' RUU - winxp asks for what program to run it with?
sorry, total noob with rooting htc...
The following post is just a TESTED collection of tools and procedures that were found over at XDA forum or elsewhere on the Internet.
I do not take any credit for all those nice scripts and manuals - I just put them together for the young community of IdeaPad A2107A owners.
Below you will find methods of getting root and Clockwork Mod Recovery v 6.0.1.5 on IdeaPad A2107A (I own the -H version with dual SIM and ca. 4 GB of internal memory).
All processes were tested by me and are working well but obviously you are responsible for your actions.
My device runs on ICS 4.0.3, compilation A2107A-H_S341 and has a couple of European languages (tablet bought in Poland).
What you need is installed ADB drivers so the PC can "talk" to you tablet. You will find a lot of guides on the net - just make sure Windows device manager shows Android Device - Android ADB Interface or something close to that.
I also advise to enable USB debugging and allow installing applications from unknown sources - all in your tablet's settings.
Once you make sure you have done the above you're good to go.
So let's go!
Download this: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5o7dm16d430lwal (un7zip) and read as follows:
1 - Root
The method I chose is for patient people - the device will reboot 3 times during this process.
a) connect your tablet to the PC, open "1 - 4.03root" folder and run "root.bat"
b) just after you run the .bat the device will reboot and in the command prompt you will see "Press any key to continue . . ." - WAIT until the tablet boots up completely. When you see the lockcreen THEN hit a key in the command prompt.
c) the above will happen 2 more times - always WAIT for the tablet to boot completely.
This process will install Superuser and RootExplorer so find those apps and see if the root works.
2 - Backup the whole ROM that is on your device - will be useful with making the CWM recovery.img file.
For this you will need ca. 2GB of memory so I advise at least 4GB sdcard.
I also advise to go to the settings and in the memory tab set the "Default write disk" to "SD storage" - this makes the microSD the primary "sdcard" - makes things easier with backups etc.
ALSO in the settings set the screen to stay on for at least 10 minutes - this is how long it will take to do the full ROM dump - important to keep the script alive.
To avoid any issues turn the flight mode on so no new "data" is received by the device.
Once you're done open "2 - Backup" folder from my 7zip and copy the "gscript" folder to the root of your sdcard. Now install "GScriptLite.apk" and run it (needs root access!).
In the app hit the menu button and pick "Add Script" ->"Need SU?" must be checked -> "Load file" -> select "back_mt6575_a4_v2c.sh" -> save and click the script.
As I said - wait ca 10 minutes for the scrip to finish. Now you will have a nice backup in the SD - look for "backup_v2" folder - copy it to your PC.
3 -Mobileuncle - it's in the Google Play Store but you won't find it with our tablet - supposedly incompatible. Bull*hit!
Open "3 - Mobileuncle" folder, copy the apk to your device and install. We will come back to this later.
4 - How about the CWM? Yes!
Open "4 - CWM 6015" - you will find a PDF there - read the instructions. The subfolder "michfood" contanis all the scripts you need so you don't have to download anything else.
ATTENTION - the "recovery.img" used in this process is YOUR "recovery.img" that you dumped in step 2. So find your backup from step 2 and the original "recovery.img" from your ROM.
ATTENTION - our device is MT6575 so you pick nr 1 in the command prompt.
5 - Once you have the new "recovery.img" with CWM (it is actually smaller than the original file) copy it to the root of your sdcard.
Now open the Mobileuncle Tools you installed in step 3 and hit "Recovery Update".
There, at the very top of the screen you will see your new CWM recovery file - hit it and then confirm the update. It takes a second!
Now you will be asked to boot into recovery mode - go ahead, try it
If the tablet booted in CWM then you are all set!
REMEMBER - to go into the recovery mode while the device is OFF you need to:
1 - hold the power button for ca 3 seconds
2 - let it go and in the same moment press BOTH Vol + and Vol - buttons.
REMEMBER 2 - the CWM 6.0.1.5 makes backups in a bit different way than the old CWM - read here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846446
It also appears that the key to modding our tablet is the MT6575 processor - a lot of tools just need to support this processor, the device itself is not so important.
All the best.
Mike.
P.S.
A little film how it looks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM3Sdwf2i4M
------------------------------------------------- UPDATE 1 ---------------------------------------------------------
For those who are running the same compilation as I am (A2107A-H_S341):
- you can download my recovery file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?um372gh6ayf6t6w
To use it you need to do:
1 - Root
(optional backup with GScriptLite.apk)
2 - flash the recovery file with Mobileuncle
Be careful and make sure you have a backup if you want to try this file with another compilation.
Cheers.
------------------------------------------------- UPDATE 2 ---------------------------------------------------------
Tested (by user: manwithmanypiercings) USB drivers are in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34651039&postcount=51
------------------------------------------------- UPDATE 3 ---------------------------------------------------------
I think there is even easier way than the one I originally posted above.
BUT I cannot be sure that it will work with all of you - the reason is that I made so many changes to my A2107A-H that I do not know whether this method works "just because it's universal" or because my tablet was tweaked far enough.
On the other hand when you consider it reasonably it looks like it's quite simple and there is no particular reason why it shouldn't work with a stock A2107A.
So...
What you need:
1 - this package: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?fbuzi5xjofs7vgf
2 - PC running Windows 7 would be the best (7 gave me no problems at all - takes 1 minute to do it). I made it on Windows 8 as well but there is a lot more fuss to install the proper driver.
What you do:
1 - turn on USB Debugging on your tablet
2 - connect the tablet to your PC (if it's the 1st, some default drivers will install - that's ok)
3 - tap on the notifications area in the "Connect as" change to "MTP" - this is quite important !
4 - from the downloaded package run the "Flash_tool.exe"
- click "Scatter-loading" on the right and find "MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt"
- in the list in the lower part of the window you MUST have the "PRELOADER" (super important) and "RECOVERY" ticked and leading to the correct files. The PRELOADER = "preloader_lenovo75_a2_ics.bin" (in the package) and the RECOVERY is the recovery file of your choice -> there are 3 in the package - pick the one you want. You can flash them over and over so if you don't like one then try the other.
5 - click "Download" above - you will see a prompt saying that not all images were loaded - that is fine - we only want to flash the RECOVERY - so click "Yes"
6 - now the Flash tool is waiting for the tablet - press "reset" on the back - Windows will recognize a new device (and WILL NOT find the driver unless you have done it before) - no worries, you have the correct driver.
7 - open Windows "Device manager" and locate the MT65..... unrecognised device -> update / install driver -> point Windows to "USB VCOM Driver" folder from the package and pick your system. My Windows 7 found the driver on the spot but asked to confirm the install - "insecure" driver - I obviously clicked "install anyway" and so should you.
8 - once the driver is loaded the Flash tool will flash the new recovery file - you will see some colour progress bars in the program - at the end you should see a green circle.
That is it. Unplug the tablet, press reset on the back and you can now enter the recovery mode.
FUN FACT: the "reset" button on the back is not really a reset button, it's more like physical cut off button to temporarily disconnect the battery.
I have the Lenovo A2107A under Vodafone's brand Vodafone Smart Tab II 7
It has Android version 4.0.4 and compilation: A2107A_A404_010_002_120913_VODA
Imanaged to root it and install CWM using this thread. But somehow I was not able to create the CWM modded recovery.img
I used the one provided here and it worked fine.
Thanks for this.

Hi there,
Try those drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/?vx2hyv7dpwlmeyy
They come from the current Android SDK but I am running a 64 bit system and I'm not sure if those drivers will work with 32 bit systems.
Fingers crossed!
I tried with yor recommend dirvers and with a lot of others and doesn't work. I have to unrecognised denices in Device Manager - A2107A-H and MTP.
I am very upset about Lenovo because their support doesn't exist.

First of all, a ton of thanx to csns for posting this detailed procedure along with all required scripts and tools...
I have just one question...Which Modified ROM did you install as I see you have unlocked calling feature in the video you posted???
I asked because the MOD ROM by pemergency in the other thread is for the 16 GB and creates some issues in the device...But your's is 4 GB, as is mine...
Thanx in advance

I'm glad you find my post useful.
As for the calling feature - it's not actually working
You see, to have the calling app (in other words "the phone" app) in the app drawer all you need to do is change one tiny value in framework-res.apk.
This value is telling the system weather the whole device is supposed to handle voice calls or not. I just tricked the system to make the Phone.apk visible but there is a lot more do be done in order to make a real call over the cellular network.
I've just had this tablet for a week and I didn't have much time to dig into this topic. Let's see what the weekend brings
Be patient, I think it's just a matter of time when someone posts a user friendly guide... Or search yourself and share what you find with the community.
Take care.

Hi csns,
Sorry to bother you but when I try drag and drop my original "recovery.img" to "cwmr 6015.bat" in the "michfood" folder, I get a warning message "System cannot find the specified file "C:\users\....\recovery.img" "recovery" and the bat script exits...I have tried the following:-
1. Copy the folder and file "michfood" and my original "recovery.img" file in all possible alternate locations of my PC including desktop as shown in the pdf tutorial in "michfood" folder.
2. The permissions for both folders is "Full Control" for all users.
3. Files not hdden or protected.
4. Also turned off my antivirus and firewall.
No luck....Please help !!! Thanx in advance

Well, this happened to me once and I think the reason was that the path was too long - I guess it may have something to do with the fact that the .bat is a simple "program" and can have some problems with handling long paths.. specially with "national" character in them.
Try finding a location as close to the root of the drive as possible, and make sure you have full R/W access. Or try with a pendrive for example.
Since you made a backup of your ROM I think you are quite safe with using the recovery I uploaded - first post -> UPDATE 1.
They seem to fit all 2107A devices. If not I will tell you how to restore the original recovery from your backup.
You can also read UPDATE 3 I just made - your choice.
Thanx
Hello csns,
Thanx to your help, I have also got CWM recovery working on my device.
BTW I saw these two posts on a forum in Russian (I guess)...I used google translate and am pretty sure these two posts that I provide links for below have two modified ROMs with everything working, including phone and radio !!! The only draw back is that once you flash these ROMs you'll get Russian language, which can be changed to English from the language menu
I plan to fo it myself as well tomorrow,would let you know the outcome
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=286687&st=920 (go down to the post labelled "A2107_Foxtrot_v100")
and
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=286687&st=440 (go down to the post labelled "Прошивка Tasemart
MOD 1.1")
and of course you can also try the "Angeleas_Final" modified ROM also that I'll upload and provide links to tomorrow
Thanx again for all your help !!!
I also had many trouble getting the cwm bat file to work. It is very picky about its path and arguments on Win7.
I moved the michfood folder to C: and moved my own recovery.img to C:\michfood\recovery.old
cd C:\michfood
cwmr\ 6015.bat recovery.old
That worked - otherwise it wouldnt finish the cpio stuff.
Reworking that horrible script to work on linux would have probably taken less time -_-
Anyway - thanks!
Permissions problems on Windows7
Hi,
I Had the same problem.

My solution:
It was required to use a directory not to deep in folder structures, so the best is as short as possible like "C:\michfood".
I had to add "Full Control" permissions for "everyone" to the "michfood"-directory and enable the "replicate permissions to subfolders"-option (I don't know the exact designation because I use it in german ... )
I had to delete an existing "Recovery" folder inside the "michfood"-directory from earlier attempts to create the new file and for this I had to take over the ownership of the "Recovery" folder before I was able to delete it.
The original Recovery.img must be in a different folder than "michfood". This can be on the desktop but for a shorter path it could be in the root directory.
I had success after copying "cwmr 6015.bat" to "go.bat" (it's shorter and does not contain any space in it) and calling it from command line from its directory( C:\>cd C:\michfood ) with: "go C:\Recovery.img" ( I had Recovery.img on C:\ ).

I copied the folder as "C:\michfoods" and recovery image file as "C:\recovery.img" and gave the command "cwmr6015 C:\recovery.img"...Before that, I removed the space from the file name "cwmr 6015.bat" and saved it as "cwmr6015.bat".

How to Deodexed and install Xposed Samsung Galaxy Note 3 / SCL22 (SM-N900J) stock Lollipop 5.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll explain you step by step how to do this so please read the post very carefully.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#. Before you say "there is many threads taking about same subject" and start complaining and reporting this thread, please understand the device im taking about SCL22 (SM-N900J), this device different than AT&T or any other models. SCL22 provided by "au KDDI" one of Japanese major network provider. And KDDI specially custom made this devices from SAMSUNG, Korea only for KDDI network. There is some app's only work for stock ROM. If you install custom ROM you can't install or get register with KDDI network (ex- auMail.apk, auoneidsetting.apk,etc..) app's like auMail very important for Japanese users including me. And another there there is some system app's you can't even copy by adb (I'll talk about this later in the post). So if you are not using SCL22 in Japan register and using KDDI network, then you don't know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before start here is some info ---------------------------
Brick -
What is brick. I guess you all seen a brick before, just a man made stone. Staying there do nothing. "Device Brick" also same. When your device get brick it's do nothing. The thing you must know, there is two kind of bricks
1. Soft brick.
2. Hard brick.
Soft brick - happens all the time, easily can happen, less dangerous. And easy to fix. (That's why everyone saying to keep a nandroid backup)
Hard brick - very dangerous, very hard to fix, some devices close to impossible to fix. But silver line is it's happens very rarely, like 2 %. And some new devices it's impossible to get hard brick. (But always be careful about what you do)
TWRP BackUp -
Keeping a recovery back up very important. If you made a mistake, flash a wrong ROM, or mod or something like that and you will get a bootloop (soft brick) then you can use the recovery back up to fix your device very easily. (Always keep a clean nandroid backup)
Odexed or Deodexed -
Odexed - faster loading of apps into memory. Each .apk has a corresponding .odex. When the application is used by either the system or the user.
Deodexed - has only the .apk file. When the application is called into memory from only pulling the data from it’s .apk, this takes longer due to not being optimized for easier retrieval from the system. (just remember ".apk and .odex compressed in to one .apk file")
This is the simplest way to know your ROM is odex or deodex-
*Download and install any Root explorer (ES File Explorer recommend and you need Rooted device)
*Open the File Explorer and navigate to /system/app
*Open any app directory
*If your ROM is Odexed you can see the .apk and .odex file in the app directory
*If you don't see any .odex file then your ROM is most likely deodexed
OK lets get started...
what you need and all the STEPS -
01. Your phone must be pre-rooted and USB debug enabled. Read this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/samsung-galaxy-note-3-scl22-au-kddi-t2964801
02. Android SDK with fastboot and ADB working properly with Google USB Driver installed (Or you can find only ADB and fast boot file .zip but i DON'T recommend that) read and download - https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html#WinUsbDriver
03. Turned on USB debugging in you device and connect to PC.
04. Create a new folder in your PC to keep your soon to be download system files, you can name "system" or anything you want but make sure there is NO SPACE ex- E:\system or D:\system
05. Open the adb shell (how to open the adb shell- navigate to the folder that SDK installed, open "platform-tools" folder, keyboard Shift key + Right click, click "Open command window here")
06. Now to check everything works fine run this command-
adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
if you see "SH16WV8028** device" (it can be any numbers or letters for you) like above picture, then you are clear for next step. if not please make sure you installed SDK, Google latest usb drivers and also your device drivers. if it works fine then let's move to next step...
07. Now run this -
adb pull /system/app /app/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It will pull all your system app's in to your PC C:\ drive (Like you will see new folder - C:\app)if you get any "permission errors" make a note witch app's need permissions.
***** For SCL22 users ONLY- when you run (adb pull /system/app /app/) if you get this error messages like - FeliCaWebPluginBoot\arm\MobileFeliCaWebPluginBoot.odex.xz': Permission denied - you need to navigate to that apps folders using ES FileExplorer and change Permission (give all Permission by clicking all check boxes) and then manually copy and paste that file to your SD card and to your PC. You also need to change Permission and copy this folders too "preloadedkiosk, preloadedsso and preloadFactoryResetOnly" to system folder in your PC.
08. Now run this -
adb pull /system/priv-app /priv-app/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
09. Now run this -
adb pull /system/framework /framework/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
10. Now run this -
adb pull /system/odex.app.sqsh
adb pull /system/odex.priv-app.sqsh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you don't have ".sqsh" then you get error. But don't worry about that continue to next step -
11. Now you will see 3 folders call "app, priv-app, framework" now copy or those folders to "system" folder before you made.
if you don't have 7-zip download and install it too - http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
12. Now you need to download and extract the - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3268390&d=1429332195
Original form - http://forum.xda-developers.com/and.../script-app-joeldroid-lollipop-batch-t2980857
13. Now run the "JoelDroidLollipopBatchDeodexer.exe" click on Brows button and select the "system" you early create and copied app, priv-app, framework. And click on "Start process" button.
If process successfully then your apps and framework are now deodexed. One more step to do. replacing all 3 folders. Let's do that ...
14. Now download this zip file - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3231531&d=1427457507
DO OT UNZIP it just open the zip file using 7zip and open the you will find empty system folder inside that. open it, and copy and paste app, priv-app, framework folders that deodexed. and close 7zip. Press "yes" if 7zip asked to save it.
( installer template.zip only made for wipe and replace the three system folders)
15. Copy that InstallerTemplate.zip file to your SD-Card. wipe cache, dalvik cache and install the zip file.
First time boot will take some time. So please be patient....
Hurry.! you got Deodexed ROM

wifi issues after deodexing and flashing zip. Now my wifi wont connect to any wifi device. its stuck at obtaining ip address
Did you wipe delvik cache/ cache.?
What is your device model number.?
My wifi working fine.!
Thanks for your tutorial.
Alternatively, there is now an xposed install package that works on stock, odexed TouchWiz ROMS.

Thank you for the info.
I made this post about deodexed not only for installing xposed, deodexed can save you some space, and you can use for develop. i just combine both subjects in one post.
