[Q] Blu Studio 5.3 firmware

i accidentally deleted the "vold.fstab" archive for internal memory in " System /etc" past, using root explorer. I was trying to change the internal memory to external memory after Root the smartphone.
After deleted vold.fstab, the Smarthone doesn't recognizes the SDcard..
all the backups app there was in Sdcard using " Titanium backup" , so how the sdcard doesnt recognizes , i can't install the " titanium backup and vold.stab and root explore " anymore... When i try to install i see the frase " There isnt exists SdCard"
in desperate, i uninstalled the Android from the smartphone.
Now, the smartphone starts in the inicial page " Blu" massage and stop in this situation.
Dear Friend or others friends , do you know how i recovery this original android firmeware or or in preference " Blu studio 5.3 firmeware android 2.3.5" to re-install?
which program i use to recovery this phone? i use the same oneclick that i did the root in the beginning?
Please, someone help me if could...
sorry my poor english to explain, i hope you understand my little english words.
I finally entered in Recovery mode, just plugin the USb as a recharge and when the "Battery" is show in the screen We need press "+ volume with Power" for 5 seconds..
i can see the SDcard with Recovery mode but i tryed to open all the pasts and this did nothing.
i pressed REboot and the smartphone reinitialized in the same way , only " blu" in the initial page stoped.
I have in Pc all the Backups, but the smartphone doesnt open what i need, the firmware.
when i plug the mobile via usb in pc , the pc "see" a new dispositive but i dont have access to pasts ou system
when i starts oneclick to root or unroot the mobile for my surprise the model is recognizes as HTC Desire because few days ago i changed the model in the past using "root explorer" for my mobile be recognizes as HTC to download games and apps.
now, i cant change this too.
i dont know what i do.
does exists Blu Studio 5.3 Firmware available in someplace?
If i buy a new Blu Studio 5.3 , can i copy something or all software in the new to pass for the "bricked" phone to triying it works?

android 2.3.5 for Blu Studio 5.3
Someone have the Android 2.3.5 for Blu Studio 5.3 to send? i accidentally deleted this and now i cant use the phone, it s only in the " Blu" initial page when i start one

When you plug the phone in USB, you say it shows up on the pc, and you have rooted it. Can you use adb on the PC to get a shell on the phone? If so, see if you can use adb to push a copy of /etc/vold.fstab back onto the phone.

Also, sounds stupid, but try removing the sdcard and rebooting.

Dear Friend,
As your phone goes to Recovery, you may try selecting 3rd option(i guess) to wipe and reset to factory. Of course you may lose user data in phone, but phone would be reverted to position as newly bought.
I myself am in same kind of trouble but worse.
I am new to all these and got into a REAL problem of late.
I have purchased BLU 5.3 510A product from amazon just a about a month ago.
It is stuck now and for some reason NOT showing recovery too. I tried all possible methods and searched help on web too.
I learned that with SP tools I may be able to flash stock stuff into it. But I do not have any backup of it as it was pretty new.
Would you be kind enough to provide me with the original dump or whatever required with adequate instruction for how to go about it?
Please help me if found a dump already as this is the ONLY device I have and I am completely stuck with no other option.
Or if your phone already started working kindly take a minimal dump and give it pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaassssse.
may contact me at bala(dot)kc(at)gamil(dot)com
Many thanks in advance for a QUICK reply.

-Installation bare bones simple just put zip on extsd card wipe data,cache and dalvik cache and install zip from sd card.
With thanks for our xda member Borisov we have another rom here.(But be careful as u may run into few bugs like music player,power amp&motion controls are not working).The rom promises u high level of free ram to operate with.So thanks again to Borisov for this contribution.(He found the rom on a chinese thread an decoded the hard language to give us this rom from there)
Root.here
-Plug ur device to ur pc with the micro USB cable.
-Install android sdk.(optional)
-Download this file, unzip and run Root_RC2.bat (if using Windows 7, please right click and select Run as Administrator).
-Press any key then ur device reboots and wait before pressing again.When ur device finishes reboot and u can see the lock screen press any key for step 2.Now ur device should reboot and be really slow but wait until u see the lock screen again and press any key for step 3.
-At boot ur device is rooted and check if super user is installed.
CWM..here
-For cwm connect ur device and run set up(note that this doesnt install a permanent cwm(5.8.4...) but rather triggers it by sending the necessary files over to ur phone which are deleted at reboot.So this is done every time to enter cwm mode)(Cwm needs SD card >3gb to work or else u'll get mount err.)
-The new cwm can be optained in fast boot mode.After triggering the first cwm above download this then put ur device in fast boot mode( by holding volup+down+pwr buttons)and selecting fast boot.Connect to pc and install drivers manually by choosing device sky adb drivers in device manager in the android phone section.Run cwm fast boot bat follow instructions and u get cwm.
-Nandroid backups tend to get stuck at last stage of backing up data.Never tried to restore but if there is a courageous tester u'll be welcome
Google Now: This one works fine without any major issues.Flash it in recovery.Really amazing.here (you may want to read this before installing google now)

Great! I think I'll be getting one of these when I move to Korea in a couple weeks, but only if I can root it.
Would you mind mentioning where you found these?

80-character SMS limit and how to fix it
Hope this helps anyone who is running a stock ROM on this phone and is frustrated with the 80-character SMS limit.
You may have tried an app such as ICS Messaging (available from the Play Store), but found that it won't send any SMS, though it might show received SMS.
This phone's stock SMS app (mms.apk) sends each character in double-byte to accommodate Korean characters, so the 160-character SMS limit is halved.
I found that if you save your own phone number to the "My Number" area on your SIM card (which is not done by default on many newer SIM cards), this somehow allows third-party apps to work, and allows the sending of SMS up to 160 chars - and more, if your operator supports it.
1. First, find an ancient phone, one that can write to the "My Number" area. Get a really old "dumbphone" such as an old Series 40 Nokia. BlackBerries work very well (I used a Curve). Or you could try an iPhone. (I'm sensing a joke here...)
2. Put your SIM card in and power up the phone.
3. Now, you need to write your own number to the SIM card.
On the Curve I went to Options > Advanced Options > SIM Card.
On the iPhone, it should be in Settings > Phone > My Number.
In the My Number area, enter your full phone number, including the country and area codes.
4. Exit and power off the phone. Put your SIM card back into the Vega Racer 2.
5. Go to the stock SMS app and try sending an SMS, preferably to a friend who is on a different network operator.
If it works, proceed to the next step.
6a: If you have root: Use Root Explorer to browse to /system/app and rename Mms.apk to something else, say, Mms.apkOriginalBackup.
Then install ICS Messaging from the Google Play Store.
Check that it works and that you can now send SMS longer than 80 characters. (N.B.: As I mentioned above, make sure your operator hasn't imposed any limits on SMS length.)
6b: If you don't have root (I didn't test this): You can't get rid of the stock messaging app, so just disable its notifications from within the app. Then install ICS Messaging from the Google Play Store. Check that it works.
If this solution helps anyone else please let us all know. (Also if any other messaging apps, such as Go SMS, work for you.)

I am from Malaysia and our mobile spectrum is GSM. So far there isn't any problems with users using this device here. 3G works flawlessly as well.
I am planning to get this phone after selling off my Dell Streak 5. Is there NFC in this device?
I read one advert claiming that there is NFC in this device, and I asked my local seller and he verified it however I couldn't anything online regarding this device coming equipped with NFC. Would appreciate it if someone would be able to confirm it.

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 :
http://3g.lenovo.com/thread-69003-1-1.html

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.

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.

I bought this china phone called vkworld vk700pro . rooted it and used the official firmware to build recovery cwm and modified the EBR1, EBR2 files to extend the app partition size from 1 gb to 3gb .
Make sure the mtk drivers installed before u do this .
1- Download the Official firmware from here.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_lwKUeCfjkPSXlHV0FFUF9VWTA/view
unrar it ,
2- download below link , its all what u need to root it and flash the cwm, ebr files .
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1YQfWNB26xbTTdLQWNwZzM0aU0/view?usp=sharing
unrar it .
3-backup the ebr1,ebr2,recovery.img,checksum.ini files from the original firmware in case something goes wrong.
4-copy ebr1,ebr2,recovery.img u downloaded from the second link and paste them in the official rom folder .
5-rename the ini file checksum.ini to something els like cheksum_old.ini .. this file is in the rom folder .
6-open SP_flash tool and locat your scatter file which is in the rom folder and hit download .
7-when its finished root ur device using kingo root software .
this a a quick demo i made on YouTube to how to do it .

Thanks!
Thanks so much for doing and sharing this! This is just what I needed for my daughter's phone since she was having trouble installing apps with the 1GB limit.
Have you tried to install another ROM on this device? If you know how, please share and make another video. The youtube video was very helpful in getting the 3GB partition to work on my daughter's phone.
Awesome job! :good:

Glad it helped u , i did not try another rom , i think the stock rom is pretty fine . no blotware apps or junk adware .. the only think i hate about this phone is the signal its very week it won't go to one bar when 3g is enabled . i was going to hack the gsm antenna but am not much into hardware soldering ..

I've removed one link from your OP. The host site you used for that one is not allowed on XDA, as it requires registration to it, or social media sites, to use.
Please replace it with a direct download host site link.
Thanks,

I can confirm that this works. Only problem I had was installing the MTK drivers before starting, because I'm running Windows 10 and I think the OP is running Windows 7. Just search online, download and install the drivers first and then follow the excellent video created by OP.

hi there
great tutorial do you have any problems with the gps on this phone i have one and i cant get the gps to work.
any help would be much appreciated.

Maybe i'll try it by myself one day. But still a little worried. Thank you all the same.

Can you post a tutorial using Windows 10?
I tried installing Win10 drivers with no avail.

I have the vk700 not the vk700 pro cannot find any hardware differences so my question is if anyone knows if the procedure will work with vk700 too.
Thanks in advance

Worked very well, just lets get clear some steps:
1. Download
2. Unzip
3. Run the tool, find the file.
4. Plug the phone, turn off the phone.
5. If u get an error after the installation, just try again with the battery phone off. Is not breaked yet.
Thanks OP.
P.S. Im using it with the MIUI launcher (look for it in the miui oficial forums), and goes very smooth.

How can we do to make the 1GB ROM of this phone to be 3GB? I don't quite follow you. And if you want to get an affordable smartphone with larger RAM, we can get the Bluboo Maya with 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM.

Well there is a tutorial at
cinafoniaci.com/smartphones/guide-e-tutorial/vkworld-vk700-pro-aumentare-la-partizione-per-le-app-fino-a-3gb
Me neither dont speak italian and yet easy to follow. I mean...if ever crossed path with flash tools - hard to forget since it turns to same
me,however, have the problem after flashing related to camera. no switch icon anywhere neither any app recognizes there is a front one,just rear.
tried cleaning data,cache, general system reset and nothing helped. is there a way to manualy ad another cam with different id and force android to accept it?

This is only for chip mtk 6580?

Is anybody out there who has rooted VKworld VK700X? I just can't find any instructions on that topic, I just found lots of misleading titles on the net. I'd like to install GNU/Linux on this outdated phone I don't use anymore.

Trojan
Had any one else had a warning about a Trojan hidden in device management 1.0
Have re flashed more than once trying to deal with chrome err_connection_refused problem, every time the Trojan is back, you have to use titanium to get rid of it.

Tablet is brick!
I have a P98 3G A9H8. I used the flash tool here to install the ROM using the "download" option & I got an error that the ROM is not there. I tried to start my tablet immediately & I could not.
Then I chose the "firmware update" option and it came back with a list of errors (3 errors). I tried to power up the tablet again- again fail- nothing happens at all. Not even attempt at rcovery.
In other words, by flashing this rom, my tablet is not BRICK.
Does anyone know of a way to unbrick it? I am thinking perhaps flashing a stock rom can resuscitate it? I googled but could not find its stock rom to download.
Any help will be appreciated.

This ROM is just crewed up!! So many different errors it is not funny. Don't ever touch this- it screwed up my tablet big time.
