[Q] now that I have root, is it different to get CWM?

easier perhaps? I read about a rom manager you download from the market...
Thanks to what efforts everyone contributes here, I've found after getting out of soft brick, I managed to get root. And I'm almost happy with the handset, now that I got root explorer to work. It works best as a browser for the 20 gigs of junk on my sd card, I've found.
What I have is the SGH-i727 att branded, returned to stock, 2.3.5, my kernel is 2.6.35.11 also I flashed something in the i777 forum, is the reason for "returned to stock". My handle could be adjusted to "stupidbiker". And I've been properly scolded.
So what's a good way to get clockwork mod in my situation?
And I don't care about a warranty or a counter, or does the counter do other bad things?
And a link for operating clockwork mod? Everyone here can push three buttons except me! LOL I've pulled it off a few times on accident, but I bet in here somewhere there is a correct procedure outlined for operating clockworkmod. A link to that would be way cool.
Wow I'm stupid. K. Thanks.
This is question and answer right? I got lots of questions!
Once I get clockworkmod in the device with all the colors, I'm gonna flash a rom, the ice cream rocket I saw, also I want to test CM7, I'm in L.A. and in the LTE area and looks like I could provide input.
I'm using search, but if someone plants a good link it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

download rom manager, install cwm from that, select tmobile galaxy s2 when asked.

see what I found
First you need to flash Clockworkmod Recovery. Then you place the zip on your SDcard, do a Nandroid backup through clockworkmod Recovery (not necessary but highly, highly recommended... especially if you have never done this before.) Then select install zip from SD card, find the .Zip file and run it and you should be golden.
What is nandroid? I use Mybackup Pro. Same sort of stuff right? I'm getting close to getting my arms around everything....

Thank you for such a quick reply. I am on AT&T. Why would I select Tmobile?
"because that's the one that works"
is an answer I can accept. I'm not fussy just stupid.

Thank you!
I have successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery using ROM Manager. I'm so pleased I'm gonna get premium. I see directions! It shows a button for flashing a custom rom that I store on my SD card? Do I dare?
I picked the tmobile thing and so far so good. I got data and just tried a phone call. Happy.
I will follow the other threads now. If a moderator thinks people will get more stupid reading my new thread they may delete it.
I soft bricked
figured out Odin enough to flash back to stock
got root
went to market and installed ROM Manager
turned on wifi as ROM Manager recommended
after a good hookup, I flashed ClockworkMod recovery
Surfed the web, made a phone call, took a picture, uploaded to facebook
Looks like I'm all good.
I'm feeling ready...

apparently they are very similar (but dont get crazy and start installing the tmobile gs2 kernel/roms) - also there is no skyrocket version yet...
but yes cwm does work perfectly from rom manager when you select tmobile gs2
i did this myself the other day... works fine..
just download rom manager, have fun.. good luck

hey ****enbiker would you say your kinda ''noobish'' when it comes to this ? lol I'm just super scared to do this. To avoid voiding my warranty I was even thinking of just saving a check and getting a nexus s to fool around with, but if your new to this and would say ''ALMOST anyone can do it'' I'd say I might be game. I just would like to learn somethings from newer rooters rather than annoy/piss off the Vets!

I have screwed up every phone I got my hands on so not a noob exactly. I am at present using cm7 and considering the new kernel released this morning. What's holding me back is how well it works and how easily I screw up and screen rotation work around is good enough so why flash and set up again... oh I will flash again but just got it all restored back and gotta take it to work tomorrow ...
Yeah pretty much if I can do it anyone can. I really am ignorant compared to a programmer or developer. But not many noobs have broken as much stuff as I have!

I am having trouble getting CWM to boot on device start-up with the Vol Up Key, is this how you do it or am I doing it wrong?
I can easily get to it from choosing "Reboot into Recovery" from ROM manager but I want to make sure I can get in without Android in case I need to do a full NAND recovery.
Thanks

YouTube stutters on CM
Okay after I finally settled in with version 4 I have figured out that version 3 it was okay YouTube did not stutter or jerk, it is this new Da_G's kernel when the video went to hell. I remember the problem appeared in version 3 after flashing Da_G's kernel.
I have not tried any other kernel beside Da_G's with version 4. And YouTube is skippy jerking all to our dismay here. Or there, where ever I was to report this, beg pardon.

edit:
I see you don't have to press the power button?
I always begin that way, I press all three at once.
Volume up, volume down, and power.
After it buzzes three times I keep the volume up and down held, but let go of the power button.
I keep the volume up and down held until I see a logo on the screen. Then I let go of the phone and it boots into the scarey black screen with dos writing and you have to navigate with the hardware buttons.
That's how I've been doing it and it puts me into cwm recovery straight from putting the battery back in, every time.
If a true noob is reading this, you're dropping in after I've rooted and then obtained clockworkmod from the market, granted it superuser permissions, and then, after getting past the advertisements, you select to flash clockworkmod.
Also you'll see discussion of not getting a signal and getting an APN. Before you try CyanogenMod or CM7, which is what I use, you take your handset that has a working signal, and download an app from the market called "APN backup and restore" and do a backup of your APN. (not for those who refuse to populate the phone with a chip) (also not for those who don't have a working wifi readily available) Now make sure you have a copy of that on the other chip. The Skyrocket has an internal SD and also an external SD which ATT turns out is too cheap to put one in there when they sell it...
Make sure you have ApnBackupRestore folder with it's xml content on both chips.
Then go to CM7, in the op, get version 4, then go to the kernel thread and get Da_G's kernel, and put them on BOTH sd cards (so you won't have trouble finding it LOL)
And there you have it. Yet another blue collar attempt at helping folks that are smarter than I am that aren't as brave as I am!
Pull the battery, and apparently only hold the two volume buttons after putting the battery back in, never tried it that way! Wipe Data/Factory reset, find the rom and install it, find the kernel and flash that zip as well (install it, trying to help with lingo) reboot, then hook up to wifi, download APN backup/restore from the market (your phone will sync and load it for you when you log in with your google gmail to set up the handset. Run the APN backup and restore app and enjoy CyanogenMod!
My favorite, can you tell, LOL

[DEV & CWM Recovery for Pantech Crossover]

Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section. Forgive me if I'm not allowed to post here yet. Just forgive me in general. I don't want to be banned or anything like that. I'm Extremely interested in android development.
I made a working port of ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.8 for the Pantech Crossover. I wanted to do this before I started tinkering around with porting cm7.2. So that I would have a way to backup, restore, and flash new roms, etc... Or else when I make a noob mistake like yesterday and have a non booting phone resulting in having to flash my old boot.img with fastboot...anyways..
DANGER: DRAGONS AHEAD
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
The method I used to flash the recovery was:
1)adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
2)flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
3)repeat step 2 (for some reason it gave me a read error out of memory the first time)
Here's the link to the custom recovery:
http :// dl. dropbox .com /u/20070520/ recovery.img
I know I'm not supposed to post links yet. Remove spaces
I just hope that there are others with the Pantech Crossover that are interested in this and the possible future development of custom roms.
Also if anyone knows if there is a good way to get ahold of koush let me know, so I can give him what he needs to hopefully add this to Rom Manager. I couldn't message him on github because he doesn't have an email set up with it

And while I'm at it. Here's the method for rooting your crossover. I'm not going to provide the files since they can easily be found with a google search.
1: Find a copy of gingerbreak.apk and copy it to your sd card
2: Enable usb debugging and allow installation of non market apps
3: Install gingerbreak
4: Root device with Gingerbreak
5: You can uninstall Gingerbreak when its completed.

Thanks so much for this! I have a friend with a crossover and is always looking for my help with making it work better. I realize this is a newer thread, I was wondering how things were coming along with CM? Anything I can do to help perhaps?

crap i need a rom to fix my crossover the buttons are no longer mapped after a hard reset. please help.

Slow
Well, it's been slow goings so far. I downloaded the open source files for the p8000 and it looks like they just built the original rom from a generic build. I've been trying to get a more customized build setup but I need to do some more reading so far. One of the problems is that instead of an akmd(2) binary for orientation and compass it uses three separate modules. Plus the hci_attach is a bit different as well and so is the bluetooth. So that significantly hampers the ease of even a basic port.
As far as the gentleman with the question about a rom to fix your device. The best I can do right now is to upload a clockwork mod backup after I do a factory reset. I don't get much time to work on this between my wife and daughter.
Also, do you have adb access to your device? Surely it wouldn't be too difficult to adb push the correct keymapping files back to your phone.
You say a hard reset messed up your mappings? What problems were you experiencing prior to the reset?

Crossover
Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that there are people watching your thread. I am very interested in this as my parents have Crossovers and have recently rooted and unlocked them (well, I did) and set them up to work on Net10.
The only issue I've noted is that there are some failures, like the Market refusing to install apps no matter what is done. I'm going to install your ClockworkMod in hopes that later it might be useful.
I realize there isn't a large development scene for the P8k yet, and maybe there won't be but it's always a great hope that those with the capabilities might take pity. I was almost thinking that it might be my foray into actually looking deeper at the code than the small bit I've done.
Kind Regards,
Kaylus

Yup

I haven't had any problems with the market refusing to install apps but I do sometimes run across the no connection error with the market when on wifi. Although I did notice this before I rooted my crossover. Sometimes disabling and re-enabling the wifi helps. I really do think it is a bug somewhere in the original rom.
As far as the custom recovery image. Everything seems to be working pretty good. I use it mainly for restoring previous backups. I would say I've restored my backup at least a dozen times. Occasionally it states there was an error restoring .android secure but I have yet to track that down. I need to double check the recovery.fstab to make sure I have everything set right for the mount points.

I'm actually completely stuck at this point. I'm rooted, unlocked, different carrier, APN set correctly. I can access data and voice -- but it just hangs at "Downloading..." on the market. If I factory reset it works initially but after reboot it fails. I'm not quite sure why this occurs and if it is just this phone or a side-effect of using it on a different carrier.
Strangely Wi-fi doesn't resolve it.

I'll give your recovery a run and let you know, if you manage CM7 let me know I know it's a big undertaking. Thanks for the response.

Market Error
As far as the Android Market hanging. I see a few references to it being cause by the .android_secure folder becoming corrupted on the sd card.
One temporary fix suggest moving all the installed apk's back to the phone memory and deleting the .android_secure folder. Then rebooting and moving those apps back to the sd card.
That seems like some wasted time if it doesn't happen to work. I would just turn the phone off, remove the sdcard, and restart (granted any apps that were moved to the sdcard wont work until it is reinserted.) Then I would try to download and install an app. If that works then shutdown, insert sd, and reboot.
I'm really curious if the problems with .android_secure that you and i are having aren't just more bugs in the original rom.

Just as a poster above me said, I am watching this thread and really appreciate everything you are doing. Thanks again.

Well I appreciate the support. I just hope to be able to offer a rom sometime soon. Unfortunately I won't have anymore free time till Tuesday

Ahhhhh check out the pantech support page for the crossover. They finally have the Gingerbread update.

Which is great because I soft bricked my phone (don't ask) and this was going to be the only way to fix it.

anyone have a stock image of the 2.2 for android my phone came preupgraded to 2.3.6 and i would like to have it rooted over being on gingerbread since a root method hasnt been found yet for the new firmware

Bricked?
I tried to use the pantech provided gingerbread update this morning. It got about an eighth of the way through and failed. It instructed me to reboot while holding volume up and home and power. That put it in software updating mode. I tried the upgrade 3 more times, it failed at the same point each time. Now my phone is stuck in S/W Updating mode and I can't seem to get it out. I've tried pressing volume up and down for 10 seconds, and pressing volume down and home while powering on, nothing seems to make a difference. Any thoughts about how to at least get me back to froyo?

[Q] Tweaked v2 ROM update

I have a Droid Charge and two days ago I used ODIN 1.82 to install "[email protected]" (Tweaked v2 ROM); however, I just noticed there is an update "[email protected]" which has a couple of folders and not md5 (META -INF and system).
I am a newbie but it was not difficult to used ODIN to install the original md5 file; however, I am stuck trying to install the update. Any tips what tools to use of where I can have the instructions to install the update "[email protected]"?
Thanks.
BTW I have not had any problem so far using the original ROM.

You can flash it in CWM. Also you can get the same update by installing the black and blue theme in tweaktools.

There is a lot of information in the first 3 posts in the Tweaked 2.0 thread that you should read. 3rd post is where you'll find how to use tweaktools. A lot of android phones use CWM and something you should learn. There are a lot of youtube videos that maybe better to watch then trying to read about it.

It took me a while but this is what I have unsuccessfully done:
Downloaded the upgrade for CWM “[email protected]” then I checked its MD5 was correct A2B101E9556BB2BD59F226E25E87D1F6
Placed the above file on my SD card
On my Droid Charge I pressed the POWER button and from the choices I selected RECOVERY
My phone rebooted into:
Android system Recovery (3e)
enter: OK Key. Select: Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe catch partition
checking confirmation -> check (0)
Not need checksum confirmation
already executed!!...
--movi_checking done!...
# MANUAL MODE #
From the above choices I use Vol UP / Vol Down to select “apply update from sdcard”, then pressed the HOME key
Screen changed to:
Android system Recovery (3e)
Choose a package to install:
/mnt/sdcard
../
'[email protected]'
I used the Vol UP / Vol Down, selected the zip file and pressed the HOME key A yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and a green droid icon appeared on the screen. A few seconds later the screen flashed up
I pressed the MENU key and underneath the same caption showed in step (4) above, it was displayed:
-- Install /mnt/sdcard …
Finding update package …
Opening update package
Verifying update package …
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Therefore, I had no other choice to reboot my phone and to come back to the original Tweaked 2.0 release (4.10), which I continue using.
Did I do anything wrong? Please advise.
Thanks

I guess I'm done.
I searched and downloaded "0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5" and installed using ODIN as you suggested (I dunno is this is the last CWM release)
Then I i booted into the CWM by pressing the key combination you suggested
Then I selected the "[email protected]" file
let the install go and then rebooted
I do not what were the changes between the original built and this latest update but anyway, I'm learning; therefore, I will appreciate any other tips.
Thanks again!

You do realize that on the left-side of the page it shows how many times a user has posted...right?
So let's analyze the situation. That person had posted 1 time. And since you were responding to one of his posts, logic would suggest that that was his first post on here. So "do you make posts like this on purpose?" yes. I'm guessing that he purposefully made his first post on purpose.
Now I know that you have a whopping 37 posts to your name, but you should be a little nicer to the new guys b/c chances are they 1) haven't read every post on here and 2) they came to a forum thinking they could ask questions (I know, such a radical concept isn't it). and 3) they probably didn't realize that the theme was the same from 1.4 to 2.0 hence why they asked the question. </rant>

Thanks.
I guess I'm done.
I searched and downloaded "0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5" and installed using ODIN as you suggested (I dunno is this is the last CWM release)
Then I i booted into the CWM by pressing the key combination you suggested
Then I selected the "[email protected]" file
let the install go and then rebooted
I do not what were the changes between the original built and this latest update but anyway, I'm learning; therefore, I will appreciate any other tips.
Thanks again!

Did your install of Tweaked2.0 go well?
If not, I was having problems (it would get stuck on the SAMSUNG screen) until I used ODIN to put CWM on there (like you did) but before I flashed the Tweaked2.0 zip file, I had to go to Mounts (in CWM) and tell it to mount /system (after you do that it should then say "unmount /system" where before it simply said "mount system").
Good luck and enjoy!

lol, silly lane, adding fuel to a fire for no reason. It's ok man, it really is. a whopping 37 posts means nothing because there is no count for the amount of threads that you read. that's the important issue here friend, reading. You don't need an account to read the forums. For all you or anyone else knows he comes from a forum where asking stupid questions is allowed. Granted the mods let it happen here too, but they shouldn't.
But yes, thank you for taking the time to analyze the situation that you weren't part of to begin with. Next time, keep it to pm if you have a problem with what I said, thanks.

An alias! ah ha!
I only pop back over to these forums every now and again but I wanted to see what fun stuff was posted here. And anyways, there are nicer ways of telling the newbs how to browse the forums.
Some people are too quick to ask questions before reading, but you see that on a lot of threads. And at least he wasn't asking something crazy stupid like "I just flashed an HTC rom on my Motorola Droid and I know I'm in the wrong forum but could you help me..."

Actually I did. These are the steps I went through:
I used ODIN to go back to the original Verizon ROM my phone had (stock) and then let the phone to update itself (OTA).
Once I got my phone back to "original" I use ODIN to install the latest CWM (Clockwork Recovery Mod) 0302_charge_recovery.tar.md5 which gave me version v5.0.1.7 ( I do not understand why different numbers under the same version).
Once I installed CWM, I did not know what to do with it. I just read somewhere else that I had to have that installed, so I did.
Then as a final step I use again ODIN to install the latest Tweaked v2 ROM “[email protected]”
As of now I am testing the new built. One thing that annoyed me was that there were 22 applications under the Applications menu; they were disorganized in four panes (or windows) so I had to manually rearranged them in alphabetical order, and after that I got rid off two panes, fitting 16 apps per pane/window.
Other than that, I'll continue using the new ROM.

Question about physical buttons not lighting up
In order to limit thread creation I'm hijacking this one due to the general title.
After flashing TWO Charge's with Tweaked 2.0 the row of physical buttons no longer light up. I flashed one back to EP4D (which made them light up again) and then back to Tweaked (which borked them again) already to see what would happen.
Is this part of the tweaks to disable them lighting up? Is there somewhere I can go modify a script and have them light up again?
Thanks
(I'm a Chemical Engineer, I can do anything with cars but when it comes to anything past Odin and CWM, my nerdiness is superceded by this forum. )

This is due to the BLN mod that is included in the rom. See the link below for more info on what BLN does.
It can be disabled through tweaktools if you'd rather have the key backlights act normally (CWM Modifications->BLNModOff)
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20362-mod-bln-for-droid-charge/

Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for.
But my god finding what TweakTools is and how to enter it was difficult. You can't forget that noobs have no idea about some things so it would have been nice to get a link to tonsit's site or a brief explanation of Terminal Emulator, or something. But then again that's not as satisfying as searching on your own.

To be fair - there is a link to all of that in the OP - well, it's the second post, but I figured most would look there as that outlines all the changes that had gone down. Sorry for the confusion - here is the link from that post. Check it out, it ought to be pretty helpful.

Lenovo IdeaTab A2107A-F

I am starting this thread to hopefully encourage discussion on the Lenovo A2107A-F tablet variant.
I am aware there is an existing thread on the A2107 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982334
but that thread is concentrating on the A-H (dual sim + wifi) variant which is somewhat different from the A-F (wifi only).
So far I have not found any custom rom development, which is disappointing as the stock rom leaves a lot to be desired IMHO. While the current OTA update is fine for web surfing, reading emails etc, HD video playback (particularly YouTube HD) is very poor. Also the recent OTA update forces an optimization of apps on bootup which leads to long boot times
You can root and install CWM by following steps 1-5 from the 1st post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044496
Note that "-Update 3-" mentioned in the post does not appear to work for the A-F model!
So, has anybody any leads on possible development on this tab?
Any tips on improving performance?

My first tip:
If after installing CWM you cannot get to the CWM recovery screen after powering down the device, look for for the file "/system/reboot-from-recovery.p". If it's there, either delete it or move it to some other place. This file restores the default recovery on a system reboot.
I got bitten by this a couple of times

Thanks for starting a separate thread for the A2107A-F. I'm new to Android devices and just got this one two weeks ago. I'd like to get rid of several of the apps that I have no use for and from what I understand that means I have to root it. I got lost in the details of the other thread, but I tried reading all of it. I'm on Vista and somewhere along the line I installed one of the suggested ADB drivers via PDAnet. Device Manager is showing Android Phone and under that Android ADB Interface. I wasn't sure if that matched closely enough with the step-by-step threads since I don't really think of the device as a phone, so I've been holding off on going further. I've tried using a few other drivers that were suggested in the large thread and some other threads, but Vista always tells me the current driver is the most up-to-date one.
Do you know if it's okay for it to say Android Phone rather than something else?
Thanks. I've got some other questions about the specifics of some of the other steps, but this is probably enough to get started.

My apologies in advance if my posts are too long and my questions are too basic for these forums. Feel free to point me somewhere else based on what I'm asking for. I'd honestly appreciate any leads towards my goal of getting rid of the bloat on this device and making it more responsive. (Wow! The portrait to landscape lag is really bugging me now after reading around here).
Anyway, my primary purpose is to remove the seemingly unneeded programs, services and widgets that come with the tablet. Maybe I'm just ignorant about these things, but at this time things like messaging (IMO), mapping, and some of the other default features are of no use to me. They seem to be eating up a lot of resources. I can kill some of the services I think they are associated with, but they keep popping back up.
I did watch the "noob" video (color me a tiny ant to be squashed) and did try to search for an answer to get me even started. I've read the huge main A2107A thread (80+ pages) and tried three of the suggested ADB drivers with my Vista 32 setup for my A2107A-F. The only one that even seemed to connect was ADPnet and it showed the tablet as a Android Phone. Maybe I'm just too paranoid, but after the multiple "brick" posts I'd like to make sure I'm on the right path before trying to "root" the device which appears to be the first step in removing all the extra stuff Lenovo added.
Not that it matters, but I've had the tablet for almost two weeks now and my favorite things are Slacker Radio, Scrabble, Roll It and Zen pinball. I do play Words with Friends with my wife, but I don't like it since some of the words they allow are not valid in Scrabble (which I used to play as an expert competitively face-to-face).
If you are so inclined, feel free to PM me for a Scrabble game. I promise I will not use anything other than my brain and the built in dictionary to make my plays. (I'm a bit rusty since I gave up competitive Scrabble in 2006).
So, long story short... Thanks in advance for any and all advice you can give on slimming down the Lenovo A2107A-F. And if you want an honest Scrabble challenge feel free to PM me.

As far as checking if your drivers are installed properly I would open a dos (command) prompt in window and from within the window change to the directory where you have the 4.03root files. From the command prompt type 'abd.exe shell' and you should see something like "[email protected]:/ $". If you don't see this then you will not be able to root! You need to make that USB debugging is turned on on your device you have an entry in the device manager for ADB Interface (expand on the device which you have showing up).
I am no expert, and I struggled with this on my first go also
Once rooted you can then install Titanium Backup from the play store and use it to get rid of the bloatware! Proceed with caution however as it is possible to remove critical system apps!

Thanks! That's the type of test suggestion I was looking for to make sure I was on the right path with the driver.

So has anyone tried creating a rom for this tab yet? I've been doing some research into porting another rom to work on the A2107A-F, but want to make sure there isn't one already.

I just received a notification of a new firmware update for the A2107A-F. This would be the second available update.
Has anyone else gotten this and taken the plunge yet? I'm curious if this is possibly Jellybean, as some of the larger screen IdeaTab models run this.

I lost root after applying the first update a while back. That's typical when updating. Afterward, I was able to re-root mine again using the same procedure as before. All was well. So, don't panic...yet.
Can you report on what other changes the update made? Is it Jellybean? Or maybe ICS 4.04?

Well, I just re-rooted my tablet and everything was successful! There is absolutely no difference AT ALL with that so called "update".

Although I have my A2107A rooted and tweaked to my satisfaction, there are a few lingering issues that I'd hoped an update would correct:
1) The neutered Bluetooth stack. The tablet is supposed to work with Bluetooth keyboards, mice, etc. It doesn't. Although I've gotten it to talk to an external GPS module, other Bluetooth data connections simply will not work. Oh, and Bluetooth audio? Forget about it!
2) Some settings that are present in stock ICS builds are just omitted in this one. As an example, the ability to specify a default TTS voice. It's present under settings in my wife's tablet and every other ICS build I've ever encountered. Not this one!

I was rooted too, lost root access (only with some apps!) after the 130221 update Feb 28. I'll try the same root procedure as before to see if I can get it back. Glad to see a thread on the popular US version A2107A-F. Maybe someone will port Jelly Bean to this tablet! Doesn't appear Lenovo wants to do it...

I cannot get this 'update' to install after downloading. The tablet reboots to CWM during the install (I am rooted with CWM installed) and when I attempt to manually select the update.zip from /sdcard/googleota/ I get on error (status 7). In desperation I re-loaded the stock rom that I found on another thread and when the tablet attempts to update I get a "assert failed apply_patch_check( /system/app/applicationsprovider.apk)" error Anybody any ideas?

I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I'm getting the same exact error. except that I do not have CWM installed (I am rooted though). Perhaps there's a problem with the update.zip?
Something odd that I noticed however: After the tablet reboots into recovery mode, the update fails, and I go to browse for the update.zip, the sdcard/googleota directory is missing (along with everything that follows it alphabetically). They reappear upon normal boot. I've tried copying it to a directory closer to the beginning of the alphabet and it does show up while in recovery mode. But it still will not install.
Maybe I somehow do not have the available space to perform the update? Is that possible? I show plenty of available space on both sdcards. Could we somehow be below a certain ROM space threshold necessary for an update?

I think in my case because I loaded a 'stock' rom I got from another thread, this rom is failing a verification test the update is doing before install. I do not know how to get around this! I'm continuing my search, but I am not so confident this will be resolved easily...

Well, I am running a stock rom. I am unwilling to "mess with success" until there's a 100% reproducible way of recovering if it fails. And, so far, everything I've read in the other A2107A thread has been hit or miss for the A2107A-F people.
Anyway, If the update is performing a verification test, then it my "virgin stock ROM" should certainly pass it. The only thing that I did is to root it. Hmmm...could the update be testing for that and refusing to install if it detects a rooted device? I would tend to doubt that, since the previous ota update went just fine. I lost root in the process but easily reapplied it afterward.
Thoughts?

Interestingly, I flashed the A2107A-F_S483_121115 rom (again, found in another thread) as I was having verification problems with the OTA update just released from lenovo which was available from the A2107A-F_S484_121211 flashed rom. While the S483_121115 rom appears to be older, I no longer get the option to update via OTA as the tablet is telling me that my s/w is up to date! Go figure.

It's really too bad this device hasn't taken off. If I actually knew how to dev then I would start developng ROMs for it. I'm enjoying it now that I have root and got rid of bloat.

Hey guys. Just wanted to say if someone can send me a stock rom and be willing to test, I'll try to do up a good rom for the -f models. I'd use mine for the stock rom, but I've edited a lot of the system, so no go there. If you have the stock rom or want to be a tester, let me know.

[Q] LG Motion (Possible Cyanogen mod?)

Hey everyone! I would like to start off by saying that I am brand new here, and am surely going to mess up quiet alot... But here goes,
I've recently rooted my phone with a very simple guide, and it's the first device I've every rooted. So I know very little of the process of doing so, (I'm learning slowly).
I also have found a rom that I would like to install, but I would love to know if others think it seems legit? If it is real, I know many people would absolutely love to use it! The rom's URL is (ht tp:// playfuldroidz.com /wiki/ CyanogenMod_10_Motion) (Please remove spaces, sorry as I said i'm new...)
Now I don't mind testing this myself, but being as new as I am at android I honestly do not know how to follow the relatively simple instructions.
(This Is where I need some help, Please be noob cautious!)
Download the .zip & copy to phone or sdcard (make sure 4g or wifi is enabled if dl'd from phone).
Zip can be installed from either internal or external sd in CWM (Which ever you copied it too!)
MAKE A BACKUP!!!
DO A FACTORY RESET!!! - this will wipe data & cache!
Go to install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard
Select cm-10-xxxxxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-l0.zip
Confirm
Repeat Steps 5 -8 for gapps
Reboot
Now my first question I'd love some help with, is how do I perform this backup there talking about? do they just mean my simple go into settings and click backup? Or should I do it some otherway?
Second question: Do they mean the phones built in service of factory reset?
Third Question: To install a Zip from an SD card do I need to simply use ES file explorer, or root file browser? Or is there a custom way to install a Zip file on android?
Fourth and final Question: What is gapps..? Is this something I should get or use?
EDIT: I've got a fifth one also... Thanks to anyone who's stayed this long and is willing to help me.! Will this Cyanogen mod (If working) Work almost exactly like a real nexus Operating system? I've got a nexus 7 tablet running stock android, and I love it! That's why I'm doing this to my phone honestly.
Thank you all greatly!

Question 1,2 and 3.. they are all done through Clockworkmod. Look through the menus you'll see it if you still struggle look on YouTube.
Question 4.. gapps is Google Apps you need to flash this after the ROM to get the play store and all the other standard Google apps.
Question 5.. in your eyes pretty much, it'll look the same but with more features obviously.

Thank you alot!
Thanks! now i've only gotta do one last thing, and see if anyone knows whether or not this website is a reliable source, or atleast if the mod works...

If you did what it said in the instructions *root it, cwm, install custom rom* then after installing the custom rom it has it's own cwm. turn off the phone, turn in back home and press the back and home button together at the same time and it should take you to the rom's cwm. If the phone does a factory reset by pressing the back and home button then you did the installation wrong.
But just in case I'll setup a full instruction for you.
Root your phone.
Which can be done easily, just download this and extract the files: http://www.mediafire.com/?dhdbwflnl1vknx2
once you extract the files put your phone on debugging mode which can be done by going to settings, developer mode, and click usb debug.
once you've done that connect your phone to the pc *make sure it's on charge only* wait for driver installation to finish. once that's done click root. follow instructions on the screen it shouldn't be too hard! after following instructions you should be rooted and have cwm. but to install the recovery go to your apps and find lte 2nd init recovery and then click the top button, agree to super su to use it and you're done with rooting and cwm! now. these files you were talking about, download them and put them on sd which can be done with a file manager. after they've downloaded go to the lte 2nd init and click the bottom button. it will reboot the phone and take you to cwm. While you are in cwm click on the home button to go to external which is the sd, then go to backup and restore, and click backup! this is very important. miss this step and things could go bad. Now all you have to do is follow the instructions you posted yourself and you should be done! if you need any help don't hesitate to message me. I've done this for a long time now.
Whoops forgot to add. the website IS a reliable source. Learned that cause I'm a risk taker and decided to try it out myself. and do not use rom manager or anything like that for recovery. ever. especially on phones that do not have their own recovery mode. also. the CM10 works great in my opinion! But there's a catch. for me at least. even though everything is perfect during phone calls I cannot use my 4g. which is a bad thing for me cause I need it. other than that if that doesn't bother you or anything or don't have service then knock yourself out and install the cm10!

COMPLETED) This mod worked, all things are now finished except one small issue!
So after installing the mod with some great help of someone here on this forums, I've been basically beta testing the mod for a few days. I have nearly no complaints, as almost everything works seemlessly just like you'd except the operating system to. In the end I found one single issue though, which is terribly annoying for me in specific...
My GPS isn't working, which could be one of many things other than the rom. Seeing as I only recognized It yesterday, there may be an outside reason it at random shut off. If anyone know's what can cause this, and a fix for it please comment back!
Thanks to everyone who helped with installing the mod

I rooted my lgms770 with version f firmware- installed cwm and 2ndinit recovery (2nd init was the only known way (to me anyway) to get into cwm at the time) followed this guide ---
[LgMotion All Things root] and
[GUIDE] Unbrick OR Unroot LG Motion 4G [KDZ] - Android Forums
I am not allowed to post urls yet...sorry...its the the first google hit
I've tried multiple versions of the official LG Firmware flash, from the website, and by following this guide-
AOKP Dirty Unicorns baseless port cm10 - Android Forums Actually, its the unicorns that got me.
With no luck there. I am running Mint16, and had to run the programs through Wine of course, then tried Q4wine, and eventually tried running though Oracle VM, and finally, I wiped my ancient dell of Linux altogether and put WinXP back on it (took 2 hours, that). No cigar. And yes, I did the drivers, all in order, etc, tried again, reinstalled etc
I finally set up adb to try to get into this droid that way, but am having problems with port permissions (I'm going to guess that's on my pc's end-running Mint16)
I can access the factory reset screen (the black and white), download mode, and the battery charges on a black screen with a nice purple font, but I am still stuck in a bootloop. I've employed all known button spamming combos to get back into cwm (there is a nandroid in there somewhere)..but alas...
Help me Obi-Wan-Kenobi's..

I had the purple letters with no way to get to the factory reset screen i just used the lg online flash tool in upgrade recovery put in the imei of the phone in made sure the phone was in usb download mode then it was fixed but for some odd reason i still cant get my phone to the factory reset option. I apologize sincerely if I wasn't detailed enough if you need any clarification on it then let me know through pm or i could even send u a link to my box folder i keep the install files in.
(Also i have a one click root app for the LGMS770 So if you or anyone would like the link i would be happy to give it to you)
