I just bought a Chinese phablet and was excited about the good deal I got for $250. The phone (Ginwave G503) arrived on Monday and I was disappointed to learn that the retailer did not install google apps as they do for some of their chinese phones. I figured I would just look around the internet and just install them myself. This proved to be much harder than I thought. I came across a German forum for Chinese phones and installed the google apps package that one user had uploaded to my system/app/ folder and it didn't work. I was told in the forum that It might not fork because I used some old files for Android 2.3. So they pointed me to a thread with a newer version and I deleted everything I had copied into the system/app/ folder and then replaced them with the new files. Then even less worked. My phone didn't ring anymore, sound didnt work, and the play store wouldn't even start at all anymore (it gave me a download manager stopped error or something like that). So then I figured out that those files were probably for Android 4.1 and my phone has Android 4.0.4. So then I found a package on rootzwiki for 4.0.4. I again deleted all the stuff i had put in the system/app/ folder and did a factory reset.
When I restarted the phone I was not able to install my ES File Explorer from my SD Card again. When I click on it it asked me if I want to install to phone or SD card, no matter what i select it says "X Application not installed". So I went into the chinese app store that was on the phone (called 360 followed by some chinese symbols) and actually found ES File Explorer on there. But when I tried to install it from ther, it downloaded and then gave me the same error. No matter what apps I try to install, I get this error now. What can I do? Did I break my phone?
If I did end up breaking the Rom and can't find a replacement rom for this phone online is there like a universal android version that can be installed on any phone? Would there be any way I could somehow play a new Android on my phone without having to know how to program something
Wow.. This forum is extraordinarily worthless

At this point, it's not where he bought it from, it's what he did to it. Sorry to say OP, but you're very far up ****'s creek.
If you can't get ahold of the factory ROM and no one has made an aftermarket ROM for your device, you're going to have to learn to compile yourself. I wouldn't advise you do that, however. Based on your original post, you don't do any research before mindlessly flashing any old thing from the internet to your device.
If I'm coming off as a ****, that's because you want to call xda worthless when you clearly have your head up your ass. Someone might've tried helping you before you insulted the forums.
The only thing I can suggest now is using recovery mode to factory reset your device. This might only work if you still have your factory recovery; you never mentioned that you flashed a new one and I can't imagine you flashed anything to your phone without a custom one... But again, reading your OP it sounds like you just flash things all willy-nilly.
BTW, your device didn't have gapps because it's probably not approved by Google to access the play store. No access to play store = no gapps.

Before anyone ever uses a new device thee shall make a Rom Backup; just in case... (at least i would do this).
Anyway; i don't understand why you've put the *.apk file inside the \System\apps folder...
You should try (have tried) to install Android SDK (If you've not installed already); and install the *.apk through adb.
Check these:
http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-tv-2/pro-tip-number-4-installing-applications-using-adb-xda-tv/
[and]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
I don't believe that the operating system blocks "Google Apps / Play Store". Either way i'm not going to say that it is impossible. But it doesn't make much sense.
But like "rockingondrums" said; If your device doesn't have have "gapps"; it's probably because it's not approved by Google to access the play store.
No access to Play Store = No "gapps"...
(Never seen that happening though)
Also you didn't need to root your device for that. "Play Store" doesn't require Root Permissions...
In order to help you (and help yourself up); I've done research for you (just because i understand your situation).
1st of all you shouldn't insult XDA Forum. This Forum has loads of information scattered around. Just dig like everyone else... There's probably the info you need. Yes it may take hours, day or months if you have no idea of what you're messing with. If the info is there, just don't expect people to do the research for you...
But, XDA is far from being "worthless". I've lost the count of how many times it helped me; and what i've learned is priceless. (And i still don't know everything i want to know ^^)
2nd; [Get your Device Working]
If you haven't messed up much... (Like flashing a wrong Rom)
Use "Recovery Mode" to "Factory Reset" your device.
I'm not sure if the method i'm about to show, works for every device or for your device; but it's a good example.
On my device i would do:
- Turn off the device;
- Press and hold in the following order: Camera Button; Then Volume - and then Power Button; let it vibrate 3 times; and then release the buttons.
In other words; this will "Reinstall / Reset" your system. You'll see in your screen if it works. Just dont turn off your device in any way while it's executing that operation.
Note: It may be different on your device. If it is... You have to search for a different method that will work for you.
Search this forum, Google, or Ginwave Website (if it has one...)
After this; i recommend you to do some search and learn on how to backup & restore your device.
Search XDA Forum. Grab some examples, compare the info you've got; then backup that device.
3rd; If you've flashed a wrong Rom; then you really have to compile your own, as i also couldn't find a Stock or Custom Rom for your device.
Note: If you (ever) find a Rom for your device; remember that it has to be A ROM FOR YOUR DEVICE! AND NOT SOME OTHER. Otherwise you'll probably end with a dead device...
And that would be sad and wasted money.
Here's a good example on how to flash a Rom and a good place to start with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android
Do some more reasearch; and now don't ever say that XDA is worthless.
P.S - Experienced People aren't here every day and every hour just for you... Sometimes you've got to wait and pray for a god answer (lol - so true...).
I hope this helps solving your problem.
Best Regards;

Hi,Did you have chance to find ROM-replacement? D you have any ROM image for this Ginwave GnoteM?

Hey there. There is no Showcase forum so I thought I'd stick this here. I just switched to Android from the iPhone and I'm liking what I've discovered so far. I rooted right away and started working and experimenting with Android (of course, I'm somewhat nervous about a potential brick). Anyway, I had a few questions/concerns and I was hoping that those of you that are more experienced with Android could help me out.
1. Concerning ROM Manager: I tried to create a backup and failed due to and error: "failed to verify whole file signature." No idea what this means or how to fix it.
2. The one click lag fix will not work on my phone. I get an error about "no space left on device." However, I have 1.36GB on the internal phone storage and 6.27GB on the SD card.
3. My girlfriend got an HTC Desire and was able to download Mobile Banking for Android and Cut the Rope. Neither of these applications appear in my market interface. The mobile banking app appears in AppBrain, but when I try to load it from the market, it cannot be located.
4. I have an "update.zip" on my SD card and I've no idea where it came from. Can I delete it? Attempting to apply it in recovery mode causes an error.
5. One reason that I wanted to root was to unload the crapware Cellular South included with the phone. I have done this. I was an idiot and did not make any sort of backup of the phone in its orignal state. If I want to reset to factory settings from recovery mode, is this mistake (or any other that I may have made along the way) going to brick me? I had thought about a restore because it has been so finicky with the lag fix, backups, and market, but I'm afraid to do so. I am also concerned that I caused these issues with my inexperience and may like to start from scratch.
6. How in the world would I update to Froyo, and would I want to?
All help is appreciated!
Bumping this up.

Hey xda. Sorry if this post has been misplaced, but I noticed there is no device forum for the tablet I am asking about today, and that is understandable. My girlfriend recently got an eMatic eGlide Pro II XL tablet for her birthday and it is running Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3. I noticed that it had a lot of bloatware and no google play store on it, and she wanted the play store, so I rooted the device for her and installed the play store and it works like a charm. The only problem I seem to have run into is this read only folder called "oem". The path for this partition is /oem/ and there are a few bloatware apps in there. For some reason though, I cannot edit or delete anything in that partition as it says it is read only even though i am using the root functions of ES File Explorer. I am able to modify other system apps though root explorer. I even tried using terminal emulator commands to remove the items but it still didn't work. Is there a way I can mount this folder as read/write? If I can, that would be a blessing, as I could delete the crapware that came with the tablet and the old version of YouTube that is buggy and not updateable thanks to being placed in the oem folder. Thanks for reading all this guys, I know it's a wall of text, haha.
Ematic: What is the browser?
What is the browser that is install from factory.. on Ematic devices ..as it is not "Chrome" [It almost looks like Dolphin], when I tried to do a regular .apk install of "Chrome" from the Google store it dies which almost tells me that it need to be pushed into the device. So am I correct that I need to find a downloadable .apk of "Chrome" for Android 4.0.3 ?

How did you root the tablet? it seems there are several Ematic tablets being sold at wal-mart and I think people would like to know how you rooted it. (I know I would.)

I used a tool called Root with Restore by Bin4ry. It took me a couple times. The first time I did it, all it managed to do was slow the tablet down, then i just performed a factory reset and tried again using the same process until it worked. It didn't take all that long. The hardest part is getting the adb drivers to recognize the tablet. I will attach my adb drivers so you don't have to go through all the rigamarole.
Navigate to wherever your android sdk folder is. Mine is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
Within the android-sdk folder, look for extras, then google, then usb_driver. Make a backup of everything in your usb_driver folder, just in case.
Next just extract the contents of the zip I attached to this post. Make sure USB debugging is on, and plug it in. It should be recognized assuming there isn't some other problem i haven't encountered or forgot to mention.
Once your computer recognizes the adb interface for your tablet, use the Root with Restore tool until it works.

I'll bet that you can get it rooted. You may have to edit those drivers though since I don't think my girlfriend's tablet isn't the same as the one you mentioned.
If the drivers I posted don't work for you, then open up "android_winusb.inf" from that zip file in your favorite text editor.
Somewhere under the "[Google.NTx86]" and "[Google.NTamd64]" sections, add this:
;eMatic egs005
Remember where you put those, cause what goes under those entries is the hardware ID of your tablet. You can get that by going under device manager and right clicking on your tablet, if it is unrecognized it should have a yellow triangle on it or something like that. Go to properties and go to the details tab, then from the drop down menu, select hardware IDs. In my case, two came up. Just pick one. If that one ends up not working later, use the one you didn't try.
Now, your entries should look like this:
;eMatic egs005
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, (your hardware ID)
Next, try to update the drivers on your tablet via device manager. Right click on your tablet like we did last time, and click properties. Go to the driver tab, and hit the update driver button. You'll have to manually navigate to where your drivers are. Select the folder where you extracted the zip to (make sure you have the edited file in there!) and follow the procedure to update the driver.
Next, open up an adb window and type in adb devices. If you have something showing up, congrats! You should be able to try the root tool now. As always, be careful!
eglide pro ll xl
I just bought the eglide pro ll xl also. From what I have read and done to my tab so far, it is already rooted from the factory. It sounds like a lot of the ematic tabs are. I've been researching different operating systems to put on my tab but there isn't anything that says it is specifically for mine. They pretty much just list the types of tablets the ROMS will work for. The question I have is what type of tablet is this. Allwinner a10? LY F1? TREQ? I would really like to know this and a good way to back up my current system so if I screw it up I can go back and try again.

I didn't add most of those entries in the drivers file, it originated as a sort of "fix all" driver that was posted on xda to connect many many types of different devices to adb without hassle. I added a few of the entries using the hardware ID method I described above to accommodate some less popular devices that my friends and family asked me to root.
I think I heard talk somewhere about custom roms for the eGlide, but I have no clue how to flash them, and seeing as how that tablet wasn't mine, I did not want to try to flash one and brick it, lol. I couldn't find any recoveries or any other tool to flash things to it. If you do find a way, all I can say is be careful.
As far as backing up goes, root with restore supports unrooting as well. I never performed that function though, since root hasn't done anything bad for the tablets I put them on, haha. I'm not certain there is an easy backup method since as I said a second ago, no custom recoveries. To be safe, I would recommend a factory data reset before attempting any rooting/unrooting of this tablet.
I hope I helped with my feedback.

I actually installed CWM 6.0.1.2 by Flowish on to my tab and it works great except for the process he has to get in to the recovery. I have to use the terminal emulator to launch it. That's why I am leery about installing a different ROM. If I can't get the thing to boot up properly I then can't get to the terminal emulator to get to recovery to restore my backup. I'm still searching and learning though. I'll figure it out eventually.

Check if there's fastboot for this tablet. There's a fastboot command to boot into the recovery. If not, then I would just not flash a Rom
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 :

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.

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.

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...

Hi mmis,
I will upload tonight (if i have the time to) all the needed files to install the Chinese ROM (tools and procedure included).
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
So I went bargain hunting and found this Klu 7033 ICS tablet. It's a decent tablet, I got it for my son. Contrary to some of the icons on the packaging, most of the g-apps don't come on the device and that includes Play Store. And since there is no Play Store, I have no way to put these g-apps on it. I was reading that it is possible to install the g-apps as the .zip from the bootloader. I have tried all the common button combinations to get into the bootloader but nothing ever happens; it simply boots into ICS. I have tried putting ROM Manager on it and reboot that way, but every time I try to install one of the downloaded .apk files it always says the package is corrupt.
So my end goal here is to install the g-apps on this tablet. If I don't have to root it I don't need to, but at this point in time that seems like the only option. I have tried to install the .apk for various versions of the Play Store and it always crashes as soon as its UI comes up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Okay, got ROM Manager installed manually. Unfortunately I don't have a clockworkmod recovery that will work with it. I can't Flash Clockworkmod Recovery and can't Reboot into Recovery. When I backup, it says it does but I don't see any backups. ADB Devices lists nothing attached.
Resolution
I found all my answers here:
[cannot post link]
Okay, can't post a link. The resolution is over on androidForums.com. Search for "curtis klu lt7033" in the "General Tablet Talk" area. I got my Klu rooted and g-apps installed based on this thread.

I am using Windows 7 64 bit and the media drivers installed simply by plugging in the tablet to my computer. The drivers needed when USB debugging is installed are at the link I mentioned earlier in this thread. I can't post links yet or else I would send you directly there.
Can't find the thread on androidforums, can anyone post the link to that thread? Or post the root/gapps info here.

Here is the link. If you are trying to root from the beginning then start at post #104 on the 3rd page (although you are more than welcome to start at page one to get a feel for the process...and yes, it IS a process). Also, remember that when they say that you need to turn USB Mass Storage off, that it needs to be in the "Media Storage" setting. That caused me the biggest headache! HTH!

thanks i will try this out. My brother in law bought one over today but it is the LT7052 4.0.3 hopefully this works.
Use the step by step guide its more up to date.
Copy and paste the following into your search bar...
A Step by Step Guide to getting Amazon Appstore, & Google Play on a Curtis Klu LT7033 Android forums
(the guide will come up as the 1st or 2nd result using google, yahoo, or bing)
While it is true that post 104 listed above is where the original guide was born,
The step by step represents all the lessons learned to date.
The LT7052 requires a different ADB (android debug bridge) driver for your PC than the LT7033
There is a different guide at Android forums for the LT7052 entitled...
Getting Amazon Appstore & Google Play on Klu LT7052 Step by Step
See ya there;
SuperNoober
Are the Klu 7033 and the klu 7035 the same in any way?

Hello community, I just registered here and this is my fist post on this forum. First of all, I've solved many of my problems right here on this forum, and I am amazed how much you guys know, Not only that you are all gathered here, but your willingness to help complete stranger all around the world.
That being said, I'd like to ask you a question (not sure if it is correct topic, but I couldn't post it on Android development because i am newbie or something...)
I have phone:
e1808_v75_jbl1_5640
Android 4.0.4
Kernel v. 3.0.13
2012/07/27
ARMv7 (at least what that terminal said)
It is rooted (again, thanks to you guys) and I've been messing with it for a while.
I read the post about installing google now on ICS ( ht tp://go o.g l/Lw9mM ) and ran into problem when I was supposed to click "Install zip from SD" in recovery mode. because there wasnt that option. Then i googled some more and found out that i was in 3e recovery, and that I needed to be in Clockwork mode. I downloaded app called "clockwork recovery" and proceeded to enter cwm but apparently my device is not supported. (It also offered to setup it manually, but I had no idea what to do there) and I was not able to do it.
Then I tried GNow Handlebars, but everytime I click any Gnow version, it just returns me back from where I started and nothing happened (Yes it asked for superuser premissions and I gave it)
After that I tried manual installation by using ES File explorer to copy files by myself but I couldnt follow instructions clearly, because I didnt have same version of app, and didn't have same options for superuser. (I downloaded latest ES file explorer)
So yeah, That is my problem, I know buying new phone would solve everything, but I am really satisfied with this one (Not that I have money for new one, but anyways )
P.S. When I rooted my phone, I was able to do so with program made for a HTC mobile, cannot remmeber exactly which one. but if you really need that information, post it below, and i will try to find it.
Update: I used Easyroot ICS program for HTC one S to root it.
