Sounds like your system is corrupt, and there is an update.zip left over from an OTA upgrade. When the stock recovery boots, it always installs update.zip then shuts down. Unfortunately the OTAs don't get deleted after installation, so if you ever get a problem, you can't enter recovery.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Download http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cwm-5.0.2.7-rev3-ideapad-a1.zip
2. Rename this file to update.zip, and copy it onto a micro SD card.
3. Boot up into recovery again. You'll see it do the same thing where it installs the update.zip and then shuts down, but this time it will install Clockworkmod Recovery.
4. Boot into recovery again. The Clockworkmod recovery won't automatically do an install then shutdown, you'll be given a menu instead.
5. First, try using the volume keys to scroll down to "wipe data/factory reset", and press the power key to select it. Try booting up normally again - this may have fixed your problem.
6. If this hasn't fixed the problem, get the 2643 zip file for your region from http://download.lenovo.com/slates/a1/OTA/ - copy this file on to your SD card, boot up into recovery, choose "install zip from SD card", then "choose zip from SD card" then choose the zip file that you just downloaded from Lenovo. It will install a fresh copy of the system, which should hopefully work after you reboot into the normal system.
If this doesn't fix it, or you get stuck, please post back with a description of what you tried and what happened.

In this situation you wouldn't expect the recovery to "work" in the normal way. After you've installed the Clockworkmod update.zip you'll have a working recovery again.

You didn't mention here but I saw in another thread that you attempted to use the leaked ICS installer which has messed up your A1.
If that is what you did, then you can look at these instructions for producing a bootable SD card that will allow you to boot into clockworkmod recovery and flash an OTA to get everything back to stock.

bootable SD card= linux required???
Can you help me?
I don't have linux - i install linux via virtual box
VFAT (extended fat)=FAT???
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, you're going to have to install linux in a virtualbox. VFAT is built on top of the FAT filesystem.

How format SD in linux?
Computer->(My SD Card)->right click mouse->format?
or

If you read those instructions I gave, you'll see that there's a script called omap3-mkcard.sh that partitions and formats the SD card for you.

OK, thanks

Nandroid isn't the recovery image. It's a utility that backs up and restores your phone. Now, you need to have flashed the custom recovery image. Download the clear lockscreen file and rename it to update.zip and place it in the root of your sd card. Then turn your phone off. Now, press and hold home, and hit the power button so the phone turns on and continue holding home until the recovery menu comes up. Then flash the update.zip and reboot.
same thing hah

Cant select anything in recovery mode

Hello!
I really need your help, I'm stuck!
I'll try to explain what happened.
I decided to change my Samsung Captivates ROM, did all stuff which was listed in tutorials 1:1.
Downloaded Clockwork recovery manager, created that update.zip file using it.
Moved my new ROM to sd card. Then selected an option "Install rom from sd card" in Clockwork recovery manager.
Phone rebooted...
And that's all, know I can't do completely nothing, I mean I just cant use volume and power buttons to select items in menu. It's just frozen.

Anyway, I need you help, as that topic didn't helped me, as I dont know what people were talking about there.
I can view internal memory files using Droid Explorer, but I can't view sdcard's data to remove that update.zip...
What can I do in this situation?
Many thanks!
that is just worst day for me. After applying older version of Clockwerk, I was able to select in recovery menu.
I selected format user data, and after selected to install Fenix rom.
During installation, some kind of error occurred. And only thing i can see, it is At&t flash logo on my screen.
If I try to enter into recovery mode, power button (select) isn't working, only up and down buttons are working...
just one question:
What should i do? damnit...
installed in download mode.
Thanks to this guy, his screencasts 're just epic.
maybe it will help someone else

I got a question, will I be able to move my apps from internal storage to SD card after doing the installation?
I'm currently using your SlimDroid v5.1 and it seems that I can't move any app to SD Card.
Everytime I move an app, it says 'Couldn't move app'.
Did I miss anything?
Please help.
Thanks!

STAR N9770 - 5.08 inch MTK6577

Hi, I have just bought the STAR N9770 - 5.08 inch MTK6577 . I am relativly pleased with it but love to install cwm and root, but to be honest I'm a little confused as to what files I need.
I am not new to flasing rom/cwm/rooting but have always had HTC phones.
Can someone please help me with what files I need and where to get them and how to do it, I realise this is a lot to ask but I don't want to screw it up.
This is my phone, it running jb 4.1, this was how it came.

Root help

Do you have a recovery there? Maybe try making a backup and flashing a root binary from a different device (galaxy for instance). I heard it sometimes works and if not you have a backup.
BTW - How is this device? Seems solid?

CWM Recovery & Root
I have successfully flashed a CWM recovery and root script on this phone. Everything works. Here's how its done:
Here is the "About" under settings on the phone that i have done this on:
First Download This:
http://www.mediafire.com/?eq9b28ua89wh8d1
This RAR Archive contains everything needed.
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS ON JELLYBEAN. [4.1]
1: Installing CWM Recovery
Extract the downloaded zip and run the flash tool. (Flash_tool.exe)
In the flash tool, click where it says "scatter-loading", and browse for "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" [It is in the: \CWM_recovery_4.1\recovery folder that was included in the downloaded archive]
Now, before flashing, MAKE SURE "RECOVERY" is the only thing ticked in the list of things to flash.
(Mine had two things ticked by default, just make sure the only thing that is ticked is the recovery.)
When the scatter file is loaded and only recovery is ticked, make sure your phone is off and the battery is out. Also make sure it is unplugged from the computer.
Now in the flash tool, click the download button at the top.
*Note: If you get: "Not ALL images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!
Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?", Just click "Yes"
Plug in your phone with the battery out and wait for it to finish flashing. If the flash tool doesnt detect the phone, it means the drivers probably aren't installed. install the drivers [included in download (MT6575_USB_VCOM_drivers)] and wait for it to finish flashing
When it flashes, you will get a popup window with a circle, showing that it has completed. you can now unplug your phone.
CWM recovery is now installed on the phone. Time to root!
2: Rooting VIA CWM Recovery
Copy the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip" to your phone's SD card.
Boot the phone into recovery. [hold volume+ and power while the phone is off]
Choose "Install zip from sd card" [using volume and power buttons] and navigate to "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip"
Flash it, and then reboot the phone. You should now have root:
If you follow all of this properly in order, this should work! i am not responsible for anyone bricking their phone. Doing this is all on you.
*NOTE*
If your play store is not working [If it says there is no connection], Goto your phone's settings and set your date and time. This fixed it for me.
Also, credit to the original authors of the files. I have simply taken the required files and archived them for your convenience.

How can i use HURUpdater? Can you explain me this?

To use Hurupdater you must have an unlocked Bootloader. First download TWRP from Elemental ROM thread. After that boot your device into fastboot and then flash TWRP. In command prompt, write.
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY-V2.img
Now boot phone into TWRP by holding Power and Volume Up. Next search for Hurupdater and download latest version. Next download all the three firmware files for your phone via Firmware Finder and rename them as suggested in Hurupdater thread. Next put all three firmware archives as well as Hurupdater in same folder in SD card. Now turn of your phone and enter TWRP.
Go to Wipe -> Format Data -> YES and press enter.
Now press back twice -> Advanced Wipe -> Mark Data, Internal, System, Cache and Dalvik/Art Cache. Now Wipe.
Once it finishes go to Install select SD card and navigate to folder with files. Now select only Hurupdater to flash, press Volume down and wait. Flashing can take 10 minutes.
After flashing complete, wipe Cache Dalvik and reboot system. When phone show warning screen press volume up to boot into erecovery and from there wipe data/factory reset. After that finishes, format cache and then reboot. First boot can take 10 minutes. Be patient.
