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!

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.

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, here's the Easy root tool I used for my pantech burst (edit: works for Win 7, not tested on Win 8):
http://www.sendspace.com/file/p3p0f4
Unzip this file into any directory. The directions are:
- On the phone, turn on USB debugging before running the bat file.
- Connect phone to the computer
- run RunMe.bat. Choose option 4. Let it boot 2 times as it goes. Quit from the PC command window after it boots up and is ready.
- Then update Superuser app, and choose Root in its preferences.
- Then get Super Manager free from App store, give it root permission (settings) and now you can remove stuff.
That should do it but I'm not sure. You can try and see what happens.
thanks

thanks,it worked
rooted the phone successfully
but the battery backup is Fu***ng
pls help me to get better battery backup
installed titanium backup pro n freezed many items
but still battery backup irritating
night mode on n display set to -80
still the same
do u have any solution to this pls
also Juice defender ultimate couldnt save my juice
pls help me on this battery issue
10% every 20 mins even data off n wifi ,bluetooth off
Battery backup? You mean just the battery right.
The battery in pantech burst is not good, but 10% every 20 minutes is not right - but it is fine I think (?) if that is when you are using the phone, watching video or playing a CPU intensive game.
But if its just lying on the desk with screen off, then the 10/20 is not right.
You can remove extra apps. Maybe you have some app that is taking CPU.
How to remove apps:
http://forum.gizmolord.com/android-...att-default-appsbloatware-from-pantech-burst/
You can remove the ATT apps and others. Be careful in removing apps. I cant find the list anymore.
Yea delete apps. GPS should be off too. Just factory reset to make sure nothing is wrong. Clear dalvic/data/cache etc.
Search around.
Also disable any automatic task killer. It may be eating up CPU
Unfortunately the steps you provided didn't work with easy root normally they do but would it be because im running windows 8?
I dont know. I have Windows 7. I dont know what it does in Windows 8. Hmmm.

Hey all,
Okay so my best friend is a quadriplegic..He gave me a Digix Tablet model Tab-730,android 4.0.4,base band V1.10_20120929,kernal ver,3.0.8+,4 gb external card and 2 gb internal, to root so I could help him get the most out of his device with accessibility and such..Anyways I successfully rooted it with Bin5ary,and now I have a huge issue I cant fix....
Every time I reboot,it factory resets itself..Every time still showing superSU as an active app..
Then I cant install more than 1 app without it saying its full and to manage my apps..
I read online its a problem with busybox and to copy /system/sbin/busybox to system/bin and reboot..First of ll theres no /system/sbin/busybox to begin with because I cant get busybox in the system...I can make changes with a good file manager downloaded apk from my email,but cant install busybox after..I can install busybox first but then my stock file manager isnt letting me access root!
Please help my buddy and I out! Endless thanks to anyone who can!
I got this alcatel a564c from tracfone and wondered if anyone has rooted this phone? I have seen some old threads asking about it but not much about developing.
I have tried kingo root and I am trying others but other posts have said none work. The last one in November.
I am interested in any info on finding an exploit that I could test out. I dont have experience developing a root but I could learn.
Thanks!
Try the framaroot application. That application works for many devices. My Alcatel got rooted too

I tried it before but I just tried the latest 1.9.3 version. No good. Thanks though.
Using x-plore file manager you can download movies and what not to sd card. I have this phone and have downloaded numerous movies and software directly to sd card. Something about backdooring kitkat, this may or may not help with rooting but it does help to eliminate the 4gig headache.
I have set all the download locations to my 16gb sd card. But installed apps use only the 4gb provided. I have a tendency to fill that. There are also some issues with the default apps setting getting reset. And I can not use google voice over wifi without a cell connection.

No, seeing the root of the SD card does not mean that you have root access to Android itself

It's crazy that as long as this phone has been out......there's still no root for it. It's a shame that Google decided to "fix" the security issues that most of us never even knew existed by limiting what we can use as default app storage with no way to bypass the restriction unless you have root access. Hopefully someone comes up with the solution soon or I'll be thinking of exchanging my Alcatel A564C for something I can actually use.
Ok maybe my original post was too long and wasn't read. So I started this thread in hopes I could get some help. My tablet should have 16GB storage but its only showing just over 3GB. The nand storage area on the tablet will not mount for me but is shown in the settings / storage area. when I click mount it tries to mount but less than a second later it fails to mount.
Also I was hoping either I could get help with creating a custom lolipop rom for the tablet. I will provide any of the files from the tablet needed that I can.
I've put the original post in the second post.
I got this tablet five days ago. All was going good until I used Kingoroot to root the tablet. After rooting I quickly realised that with Kingoroot installed and applied I was still not getting full root access with a few apps so I decided to try and get full root access by editing the build.prop. After editing a few settings and reboot after tweaking a setting I still wasn't getting full root access. Then I edited a wrong setting and the tablet got stuck in a boot loop.
I spent ten hours trying all kinds of tricks to push the fixed build.prop back to the tablet with no access so I asked on different forums (Including XDA) for help. Thanks to Oma over at ArcTablet (He is a member of XDA too) who helped me get CWM onto the tablet and the fixed build.prob on to the tablet I finally got the tablet to boot into the OS again. Here's a link to the forum thread where he helped me
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/...-soft-bricked/
So now I have CWM on the tablet and after a few more tweaks I finally got full root access. That was all good until lastnight when I was watching a youtube video and the tablet rebooted all of a sudden for no reason. The tablet refused to boot into the OS again. So I tried applying a CWM backup I had taken earlier but it stops at SDCard/Android Secure which it says does not exist.
I finally got the tablet to boot into android OS again but some apps refuse to install and some apps close straight away. Also the Nand partition will no longer mount. It shows that it exists in the settings but when I press mount it tries to mount but fails to mount less than a second later.
So to get to why I started this thread is to see if any of you guys would be kind enough to offer help here. Also maybe we could work together and get a custom rom working on the tablet. I can't find anything for this tablet online so this is a start.
If you guys need me to supply any more details then let me know. I don't know where the best place is to upload files either.
Did you managed to fix it? I know it's been a long long time but could you detail what you've done to install cwm and root?
Hope you can help me I was thinking on using this tablet as a wall panel.
