Lenovo IdeaTab a2107

Hello everyone,
I bought this tablet on ebay and it seems that the ROM preinstalled is a test ROM.
I searched the web to find a custom ROM but I couldn't find much info.
I found the way to root the tablet but that's all.
Is there anyone who can indicate me a link to a stock rom or a good custom one?
Thanks for those who will read and help!

What do you mean by TEST ROM?!!! this is ridiculous, I have the tablet and it's working like a charm even I received over air update yesterday, the only odd is that I can't use it as a phone because Lenovo has no license yet for that it's available only in the Chinese version, and I think this will be solved later when they start launching their mobile phones all over the world.

Hello mmis,
Test rom is not the correct terms but I didn't know how to call that !
The problem is that every widget I put on the desktop is loading but never display anything.
The information in "About tablet" are the following :
Model number : IdeaTab A2107A-H
Android Version : 4.0.3
Baseband version : MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V13, 2012/05/25 01:09
Build number : A2107A-H_S307_120605
If I search for system updates, it doesn't find anything. If I click on firmware update, the settings FC.
I made a factory reset but no luck.
That's why I thought it wasn't a stable version.

As long as you tried the factory reset with no luck, I think in your case its better to get back to Lenovo customer service or your local dealer if it's under warranty, they should be able to help you. it's a new device in the market and it will be difficult to find custom ROM for a while or even someone to give model-specific help. Good Luck

Would you mind linking to the instructions on how to root this thing?

Sure, no problem !
After several hours of search and difficulties to register onto Chinese websites
I managed to find the attached file. I take no credit for the tool because it was developped by someone else (SNARL I guess)
It was missing the superuser apk inside so I put it back and also translate the steps to English.
Here are the steps :
- Connect the tablet in Debug USB mode
- Launch root.bat
- The device will reboot at each of the 3 steps
If you need more info, don't mind to ask!
Here is the link of the original thread :

Fantastic, thank you very much.

LePad Chinese Model A2107A-H
I have a Chinese issue model of the A2107A-H that has the dual sim card cellular feature. I've been trying to get it rooted to get rid of the Chinese apks on it, but normal rooting software has not been successful so far, including the one posted here from SNARL via Ichi go's post. I get a "device not found" error message and in device manager on my PC it indicates that there is no driver installed for the device. I have "debug" turned on and the USB link seems to be working as I can see file folders on the device, but the rooting software will not run. I've tried several of the most well known methods with no luck. Any ideas on this would be appreciated and in particular, if there is a driver I need to have installed to get the rooting software to work??
TIA!!!
Rob

First of all many thanks to you ichi go it was very easy to root this device as instructed, but as the one I have does not have the phone calling capability, I replaced the phone.apk with different one but now the device does not recognize the sim card at all, I tried to push many versions of phone.apk to system folder with no luck, it seems even if I put the apk in the system folder the device will not launch it at all, could you please help me in that.

I've had this tablet for a while and love it. I just got the OTA update and its downloading now.
I'm a also keen on rooting it and inns installing a custom ROM. I guess once its a bit more common, we can expect a dedicated Dev community here on XDA

The update failed to install. I'm not rooted or anything but upon restart it gave a signature verification error.
Any way to fix this?
Edit: got it! was a path error since i had changed the default storage.
but i can't figure out any changes

How does your device appear in the device manager? For sure, the adb driver isn't installed. If it's not the case, download android sdk and then the Google USB driver in the extra section.

FM Tuner - perfect for in-dash?
The in-dash car tablet people should be happy to hear the A2107 has an FM Tuner. It's one of the few tablets that has a radio tuner, and the only modern 7" that I know of. I just ordered one. I will report back.

The Chinese stock rom I installed has the phone ability and that works very well! The problem of this stock rom is that the Google services aren't there. I'm trying to find a way to install the zip file but I need to know the exact path of the recovery partition.
I tried to find it with the cat /proc/emmc command but this partition isn't listed.
If anyone has an idea...

So I understood that you managed to flash the Chinese stock ROM, am I right?!! please tell me how to do as I am facing serious problems with my device, I managed to root and then I changed the phone.apk (what the hell I was thinking of) and now I have the the error message android.process.acore stopped working and sometimes the sittings force closed, I tried to re root, factory reset and deleting cache of almost everything with no use, even I contacted the Lenovo CS to reinstall the original firmware, I think they will charge me for that :crying:
by the way I don't have contacts anymore (I installed it manually) and the most impressive thing that the device doesn't recognize the SIM card (I cleverly deleted the original one phone.apk :silly and what ever apk I push into the system/app folder and change the permissions it will not install after reboot.
So...what do you think guys?!! any help?

I've confirmed this does work on the A2107-F.
I had some trouble with the ADB driver. I can't post links, so you will have to google it, but I used adb_driver_20110720.zip for the drivers. I forced it to install via Update Driver > Browse my computer > let me pick > have disk > pointed to the android_winusb.inf file > selected the thinkpad option, it was the bottom of the two.
I also had to manually turn the tablet back on after the first reboot, but it went fine after that.

Btw, I managed to install all the Google services and all is working well! The only thing is that the OS can only be put in English. All other languages are Chinese variants.

Hi I just flash tablet with a chinesse rom A2107A_H_S121_120525 and right now the device don't turning on anymore. The flashing is still possible. So I need a stock rom please

[Q] FileMate Clear 7" T720 tablet

Does anyone know if Z4Root will work on this tablet? Thanks!

I've been looking for one for 3 days now, I tryed onclickroot and z4root or something like that,, cant find anything Anyone please help!!

I'm still waiting for my tablet to be delivered...I'm gonna try SuperOneClick (crosses fingers)

I got one of these for my daughter for xmas. I spent a few days trying to root it with no luck. I'm not intimately familiar with android (some unix experience), but I tried all the options I could find for rooting Allwinner a10 devices. At first I ran into problems with adb unable to recognize the device for most one-click methods. I downloaded the android tools and was able to connect with the included adb. After studying the scripts, they all use the "adb root" command to gain root access on the device and copy the necessary files. Unfortunately, this command fails using adb from the tools. At first I thought this was due to my adb version, but after doing some research I think it is actually due to the device kernel. I believe it requires reflashing or some exploit to be able to gain root. I was able to install root explorer and I can browse all the necessary directories but I can't modify or copy the necessary files into them. Busybox told me there was an older version installed, but wouldn't let me install a newer version (again I think due to the permissions). Also, superuser would say it installed but the su binary did not show up on the bin directory. As the necessary directories are all owned by root, I couldn't figure out a way to modify the permissions...

I wound up returning the FileMate and got a Lenovo IdeaTab. Got that rooted in no time.

sorry i never saw this post i've bought 2 of these and i rooted them,
i wish i could get a better build for them though, too many app crashes and the internet connectivity sucks
i used a method by Bin4ry called root with restore, v17 worked any ways i have the zip if you would like it

FileMate Clear T720
Thank you very much for being the only person ever to have posted in regards to this tablet. I just got mine for christmas and have been trying to get it rooted. I've tried a lot of those one-click methods, and I've even tried this Bin4ary method. but it just hangs up on "daemon started sucessfully*"
Can you please direct me to the filemate drivers (if needed)
also, I have usb debugging endable, allowing 3rd party (not secure) files enabled. and pulling my hair out (enabled).
Thanks again.
Also, I'm running windows 7 and 8, (((maybe i should try win7))) hmm. i'll get back to you on that. Anyhow, any advice would be greatly appreciated, since returning it doesn't sound very fun.

I laughed so hard. ok your going to have to install drivers by force,
first off do you happen to have android sdk installed? if you don't there is another way but its going to sound weird,
if you do have the android SDK installed:
1. go to your computer manager (by opening explorer, right click on the "computer" group on the left column and select manager)
2. look for any unrecognized item that appears, ( it will most likely be labeled "Clear" with a faded icon and a "?" sign on top
3. right click and choose "Update drivers", it will give you options, choose "Browse my computer for driver software", another option screen will show,
4. at the bottom of the window there will be an option that says "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
5. on the screen that appears there should be an option that says "ADB Interface", choose this
6. choose "Google, Inc.">"ADB Testing Interface version x.x.x.x" (I chose version 2.1.0.0)
that should do it next time you plug in the tablet try running ddms or open the cmd and type in "adb devices" (assuming you have adb installed) and it should show.
if this helps just hit the thanks button
[edit] I am running windows 8 btw [/edit]

ADB interface doesn't show up
Thank you very much for getting me farther, however I dont see ADB interface. I'm looking into it right now. I just re-installed the sdk drivers and will keep at it.
BTW, is it even worth doing this? the main reason I want to do it, is so i can connect my ps3 remote via bluetooth, and possibly a little overclocking. Have you had any luck OC it?
Thanks again Much appreciated:good:

open up SDK manager and go to Extras>"Google USB Drivers"
also install everything in the "Android 4.0 (API 14)" section, I have other options installed if this still doesn't work.
its worth it just for the extra stuff that root comes with like titanium backup, but you cant over clock, if you go any higher than 1200 MHz it will lock up and you have to force it to reset.

please tell me where in the world you got the Kingo root?
As far as being unable to update binaries, try to find a custom recovery and install. From there, you can inject them via su-binary update.zip and bam!

That is the link for the Kingo site. The first time I saw it on here there was some question about whether it was safe becase it is not open source and used a Chinese SuperSu app. I felt safe using it on a tablet because I do no banking on it or anything, but the newest posts I have seen are that Kingo is safe. Hope that helps. And if you know where to find a custom recovery that will work with this app please let me know.

[ROOT 100%] TSD A9300 chinese mobile

ROOT SOLUTION AT #8 POST IN THIS THREAD
Click Thanks if i helped you
Hi, i try to root this phone and i don't found the way.
First of all, this is the phone info:
Hardware : MT6575
Model : TSD A93000
Build number : SJ_A952_A881_M00_S07_120827
Build date UTC : 20120827-095217
Android v : 4.0*
Baseband v: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V10, 2012/07/03 17:10
Kernel v : 2.6.35.7 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 Mon Aug 27 17:45:08 CST 2012
(if you need more info, only demand me)
* I think that this phone IS NOT Android 4.0 because tap-in several times in "setting→about the phone→Android version" show the Zombie Arts by Jack Larsson and also the kernel not belong to Android 4.0, for this think i doubt of the MT6575 processor, thereby, how can i be sure of this info? something apk you know?
When i connect phone (mode debbuging and unknow sources ON) at MTK Droid Tools last version, the software "not responding". I try to install several ADB drivers, but seems none work. The only way to "connect" is when MTKDroidTools is "not responding" i open a cmd window and kill the adb server with "adb kill-server", in this moment the MTKDroidTools stop and read the phone, in this moment i copy&paste the phone info up here. At this moment i click on "root" button but don't work displaying:
"Only through CWM it is possible to get root in this phone! look urls (url chinese) (url xda-developers)" sorry i can't post urls, under 10 posts
I try to follow the tutorial of the 2nd link ([GUIDE] How to ReadBack ROM using SP FlashTool, to make the CWM recovery, to install SuperUser (get root) etc.If your phone not rooted using the ROOT button.), but i can't because the phone not connect at MTKDroidTools for take back the scatter file and etc.
What can i do?
Sorry for the tocho

up!

help me please!!

bump!
Anyone knows something about it?

1.Dowoad the file from the link below.
2. Then download Clockwork Mod Custom Recovery.
3. Then boot into recovery mode, and choose "install from SD Card".
4. Choose Clockwork mod recovery.zip, and it will boot you into a different recovery.
5. From that recovery mode you should be able to flash .zip files without signature verification.
6. Choose install zip from SD Card and choose SU Installer.zip.
Note:To unroot just flash SU Uninstaller.zip the same way you did to flash Installer.zip.

hello, i have tha same smartphone, can you please write the tutorial in english as well ? google translate isnot something i trust for these procedures.
Also som questions:
Do you have the original rom so that if we brick the phove we can revive it via SpFlashTools? Have you managed flashing CWM recovery?
It is very cheap for its characteristics.
Back camera is most likely 2mp (or 3MP) and front 0.3 for sure. I tried resizing and i found that out . Still more than acceptable quality. I got Antutu score of 4500. It is really high for 6575, since my old 6575 could reach 3700 and my current 6577 gets 6800. I really apreciate that too.
dont really understand what is the real clock of the cpu. . Antutu says 19998.84mhz which is rather impossible for a 6575. Cpu spy as well cannot retrieve the frequency states.
checking the gps now

How to root the Zte n9520 aka ZTE Boost Max

Note: So far there is no custom recovery for this device yet as soon as one is available i will update my post and write a guide for you to follow to install. If you have any question feel free to Private message me or email me at [email protected]. With this being said lets start the guide on rooting the New boost max.
Step 1. We want to make sure that you turn on USB Debug on your phone under development settings in settings tab.
Step 2. Plug in your device nd select install ZTE drivers on your phone.
Step 3. If your pc doesnt recognize the phone click here for zte driver
support.zte.com.cn/support/%28S%28ct55nzeou0okp055palpbk45%29%29/news/NewsDetail.aspx?newsId=1000442
(if it doesnt allow you to click on it then copy and paste it on your browser)
Step 4. Once you have all drivers install and you pc recognizes your phone go on your browser and download an app call kingo. The app can be found here
kingoapp.com
Step 5. Once you download and install kingo app open u kingo and give it a sec to recognize the phone. Once it does select root and let the pc do its thing. Once the phone is rooted it will restart and ask you for superuser permissions, at this point select grant and your phone will be rooted. Open Superuser pp and install binaries onto the phone once you do that i suggest you go onto the play store and update the superuser app.
This is it now your new zte boost max is rooted and we are just waiting on a custom recovery to arise or i will work on one and upload it here on this post for you. I do have a spare zte max phone i can work on to try everything i can on it so dont worry hopefully real soon i will have it. Now i worked mostly on Samsung phones Unlocking and flashing repairing imeis so building custom recovery is quite new for me but i promise to work hard. Thanks And enjoy And sorry for some reason the xda is not letting me post url links since im a new member so until i become n old member i cant write www in front of any links. I know its stupid lol

thanks so much bro its good to see someones working on this

Hey there..thanks for this post. I actually went on the new devices forum and requested that they add the device. It's been a good phone and responds well.

Custom Recovery By Philz
Well I didn't get to create the custom recovery however thanks to a friend I was able to flash a recovery that did work on the device. I am uploading the recovery there is a set of instructin tat is required to flash it but I found a better faster way that you can even do it without a pc really. So first you are going to want to download the recovery I uploaded. Once you have it downloaded you are going to extract the file to the root of your sd card or your phone (I think I had it on both just incase it didn't work on one) then after you have it on your phone you are going to take off your computer and open up play store and search for an app called FLASHIFY and install it on your phone. When you open flashify its going to ask you to grant permission grant it. Then agree with disclaimer. Okay once in the main app you will see boot image and recovery image and zip file. You are going to click on recovery image a pop up will ask choose a file download twrp download cwm cancel you are going to click on choose file. Scroll down til you see sdcard click on that. Now when you scroll down you should see the recovery img you copied in there you will know its the image because right next to it there will be a circle with the lighting on it. you are going to click on that. Its going to ask you if you want to flash that file you are going to select yup! and once it done it will ask you if you want to reboot or continue select reboot now it will reboot into your new recovery. Thanks a lot George for finding the recovery for me. Im still going to work on a twrp I think its more stable and I never use philz recovery but its really nice.
ps Well for some reason the file is not uploading so im am going to see if I can copy the link on here it migt not let me let see

boost max will tether 3g but not 4g
I have the phone rooted with no problems, but i have installed wi fi for rooted phones and barnacle and when use either one of those tether programs, they only tether in 3g but will not tether in 4g. i have verified that 4g does work directly from the phone when i run the speed test but when i run the same speed test from my tether device, it only test in 3g. any suggestions?

Follow the tutorial that is a few posts back in this tired.

Well I didn't get to create the custom recovery however thanks to a friend I was able to flash a recovery that did work on the device.

phone will only tether 3g but not 4g
I have the phone rooted with no problems, but i have installed wi fi for rooted phones and barnacle and when use either one of those tether programs, they only tether in 3g but will not tether in 4g. i have verified that 4g does work directly from the phone when i run the speed test but when i run the same speed test from my tether device, it only test in 3g. any suggestions?

Has anyone tried, Can this device work on T-mobile?

If I root my Max will lose Test Msgs.
I want to root my boost max but i want to know if I do will it erase all the text msgs I have
already saved. Thank you!

Please can anyone help in getting MSL for this phone? If possible at all.

need help kingo won't recognize my device installed drivers from phone it didnt work then tried the one from the site you pasted still didn't recognize my phone

Nope....

Note: So far there is no custom recovery for this device yet as soon as one is available i will update my post and write a guide for you to follow to install. If you have any question feel free to Private message me or email me at [email protected]. With this being said lets start the guide on rooting the New boost max.
Step 1. We want to make sure that you turn on USB Debug on your phone under development settings in settings tab.
Step 2. Plug in your device nd select install ZTE drivers on your phone.
Step 3. If your pc doesnt recognize the phone click here for zte driver
support.zte.com.cn/support/%28S%28ct55nzeou0okp055palpbk45%29%29/news/NewsDetail.aspx?newsId=1000442
(if it doesnt allow you to click on it then copy and paste it on your browser)
Step 4. Once you have all drivers install and you pc recognizes your phone go on your browser and download an app call kingo. The app can be found here
kingoapp.com
Step 5. Once you download and install kingo app open u kingo and give it a sec to recognize the phone. Once it does select root and let the pc do its thing. Once the phone is rooted it will restart and ask you for superuser permissions, at this point select grant and your phone will be rooted. Open Superuser pp and install binaries onto the phone once you do that i suggest you go onto the play store and update the superuser app.
This is it now your new zte boost max is rooted and we are just waiting on a custom recovery to arise or i will work on one and upload it here on this post for you. I do have a spare zte max phone i can work on to try everything i can on it so dont worry hopefully real soon i will have it. Now i worked mostly on Samsung phones Unlocking and flashing repairing imeis so building custom recovery is quite new for me but i promise to work hard. Thanks And enjoy And sorry for some reason the xda is not letting me post url links since im a new member so until i become n old member i cant write www in front of any links. I know its stupid lol

(Q) How to root Mediapad X2?

I used lots of methods trying to root Huawei Mediapd X2 but got no lucks.
Anybody gets successful?

I happened to see there is an article published recently on this an some comments say they succeeded. I didn't try it myself, as I am not sure the Super-Root.apk used in the article is safe or not.
(Please replace the <dot> to . in the URL as I don't have permission to put links.. Sorry for the inconvenience..)

I did some more search and found the file Super-Root.apk is actually Framaroot version 1.4.1 (you can tell that from the MD5 checksum.) There is new version available and you can try it from

tozhangkai...the first link just goes to an endless circle of surveys (have seen that before for other files...i do not know if people really are able to get files from that link..but appears you have)
Framaroot...1.4.1 is an old one from October last year..the latest is 1.93 and that does not even run anyway (immediately has a message saying basically that this exploit does not work for the system)..anyway both do not work
EDIT
i also tried srs one click root..went through several reboots,,,and said at the end the rooting was a success and that superuser apk was installed..but it wasn't
may have a go at it again later..(it came up with a message to accept and i missed it and it timed out on me)

Yeah, patience is not a virtue I possess in my normal life, but because of the people giving of their free time and effort I've never found it hard to wait for this stuff.

Unlock is required before trying any root method.

use below URL to apply for unlock code:
http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=unlock&action=apply
It's a Chinese web page, but easy to guess.
If the web page doesn't work, take a snapshot of the phone box with IMEI and SN number, send to [email protected] requesting for unlock code.
They'll reply in 2~4 weeks, too slow. An email with 16 number unlock code.
Use fastboot unlock OEM to unlock the bootloader.
Root and 3rd party recovery is only possible after the unlock.

For now, you cannot unlock even if you get the code

I unlocked bootloader , but the root can not be done any program .

I did unlock and someone showed that the root genius can root the phone via adb command.
The bad news is that I can't install the adb driver somehow

Root genius can not handle it . I can not install any CWM recovery. Maybe someone has any advice ?

I verified the code, and even mailed Huawei and they responded with the same code.

Haven't tried flashing anything yet (can't unlock bootloader) but I wanted to point out that KingoRoot, VRoot (a.k.a iRoot) and Super-Root all do NOT work. They all fail (with varying behavior and/or error messages). Running the B013 OTA update.

Did the B013 ota update worked for u?

Just send Huawei an Email with your IMEI #, Model Number, Serial Number and Product Number telling them you keep getting an error when trying to unlock your phone from their website. That's what I did. Of course you need to be unlocked before you can do any of the following.
-Make sure you have the drivers installed for the phone
-Plug the USB cable into the computer and into the phone
-Turn phone off and while turning it back on hold volume down and phone will enter download mode
-Download Android Platform tools from my Dropbox I made it easier for everyone. (The super_bootb013.apk file is included)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7dgdl6r2nftz5mt/AABvdjdt4a4zRNAsSE1QR2Oaa?dl=0
-Right click on the Android Platform Tools folder while holding in Shift and select Open Command Window Here
-When the command prompt opens type in fastboot flash boot super_boot.b013.img
-After it finishes, type in fastboot reboot. The phone will boot normally.
-Then you have two options. Download SuperSU from the Google Play Store, install it, open up and update the binary if it prompts you.
or
-Included in my Android Platform Tools folder is the Superuser.apk file. Just install that manually, then open it and update the binaries. When you reboot you will be rooted. This works on B013 only.
-I also installed the Chinese TWRP and even though I can't read Chinese, I have no problems getting around in it.
