There's been some discussion recently of the leaked ICS ROM for the Lenovo A1, which is a little difficult to install, because Clockworkmod won't flash it due to failed assertions. I've modified it so that it can be flashed through CWM.
Be warned that it will overwrite U-Boot, the kernel, and the RAMdisk (these are not usually backed up by CWM 5.0.2.7). If you've installed it, and you want to go back to your old backup (very likely as you'll soon get tired of nothing working properly), use the following steps:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Restore your backup using the normal CWM functionality
3. Install ub-fastboot.zip from this post.
4. Reboot into fastboot mode and restore the correct kernel and ramdisk for your ROM with:
Code:
fastboot flash inand-kernel <kernel>
fastboot flash inand-ramdisk <ramdisk>
5. Reboot.
If you don't know what the correct kernel/ramdisk is for your ROM then I'd advise you not to try using this ROM.
DISCLAIMER
There is no guarantee of anything going right if you install this ROM. I'll try and help with problems (and I'm sure other people will too) but if things get messed up it'll be your fault. Don't take the risk without understanding it and being comfortable with it.
Download: here.
So now you've flashed ICS to your A1, but you can't use it. Duh. Everything is broken right now.
For those scared of using ADB commands during a restore to CM7/Stock gingerbread... Here's the stock RAMDISKS, and Kernel as CWM .Zips... [Links taken from the other A1 threads, stock kernel .zip by yours truly. ;-) ] Flash ONLY the ones you need before you flash your Stock rom/CM7 rom/nandroid restore. In this order.
ROW 2375 / ROW 2525 builds ONLY RAMDISK
(1.){^^vv If you don't know which you're supposed to have, DO RESEARCH FIRST
ROW 2643 build only RAMDISK
(2.)Stock Kernel
(3.) Then Stock ROM/CM7 ROM (your choice) (skip step 2 if flashing a 4/28 or later CM7 build it includes a kernel.)
(4.)Fastboot bootloader mod

Now if only we could get Wifi and USB working... That would be a decent start...
Weird part is, on the leaked one, the device name under settings is "Zoom2"
(haven't flashed this one yet, but I assume it's the same)
Makes me wonder if this is infact the real deal... or at least an attempt by a third party? (see post below)
Though it's nice to see it being possible.

It says "Zoom2" - that's an OMAP3 development kit that the hardware in the A1 is very similar to - they'll have started with the device-specific files for the Zoom2, and haven't bothered to change them yet. See http://www.omapworld.com/zoom.html

It's not worth trying to fix with this ROM. It'd be better to work on a proper build of ICS instead of wasting time augmenting this early build.
Anyone trying this rom - can you take a look if /proc/config.gz exist and if so - make an upload. I'm just curious, but don't want to waste my time ....
Dear gmarkall, i flashed from CWM and it says installation aborted.. ! now i can't boot up to normal stock ROM ..
it stops in lenovo logo.. Pls ..

If you can still boot into recovery, flash an OTA zip file.
If you can't, then follow these instructions.

I'm not running the ROM right now, but I tried extract-ikconfig on the kernel and it didn't find a config - I don't know how reliable that tool is though, since I've never used it before.
An update for the ICS ROM was posted in a German forum. Wifi is said to be working now. You can download it here. To use it, you need to flash the original ICS firmware (A107_.rar) and then install the update.zip with the stock recovery from an external sd card.
I've tested the update on my device. Wifi and sound output are working now. The build props show a Lenovo device now (ro.build.fingerprint=Lenovo/IdeaTab_A1107/A1107:4.0.4/MR1/eng.user.20120503.193509:eng/test-keys). The main issue seems to be that the Google Apps are not working (including Play).
EDIT: The problem with Google Play seems to be caused by the file permissions of drmserver. After this, I can download apps from Play Store (but only until rebooting):
Code:
adb remount
chmod 777 /system/bin/drmserver
./system/bin/drmserver&
Confirmed wifi works and sound works fine.
Google store not so much but looks to be a quick fix.
Gps seems to be working but haven't had time to test.
Mounting sd card and usb mounting are messed up.
Also for anyone considering this 4.03 they should know its based on a phones os and not a tablet os.
I can't update on 2GB A1 - there is an error in the middle of process.
The first version was running ok.
Pls!
Dear gmarkall,
I redownloaded and flashed again and now it's running OK.
Now from the above posts, i see that an update that fixes wifi and sound 's available to download again here.https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=56E49CF4B3C46641&id=56E49CF4B3C46641!106&action=Download
So pls tell me what i've to do again. Can i flash this update from CWM ?
Thanks !
Plaease help! Not work on IdeaPad A1 2GB
CWM log:
size:3833856assert failed: run_program("/tmp/fuse:, "mbr", "/tmp/mbr2GB.img")
E;Error in /sdcard/update.zip

Installation aborted
Can you help me?
This Update doesn't work with cwm and I wouldn't recommend to anyone flashing it. It screwed up my whole file system including rescue partition and took me several hours to get rid of it. On top, it doesn't contain config.gz.
If you are using CWM, you can go back to stock recovery in just a few minutes. It is described here. This shouldn't be an issue?
Clearly this is not a actually preview from lenovo but rather a home-brew that does a decent job of getting many things working.
The first preview had a tablet based 4.03 and this supposed update has a phone 4.03 layout.
Still not bad just not from lenovo.

Thank you !
Do you know whats the differences between the both firmwares in your post are ?
My N9770 will not fall into Deep Sleep. It just clock the CPU down to 250mhz, but its still on and drains the battery within 12 hours.
I tried several ROMs i've found but all the same. Maybe your stock firmware solves the problem.

I tried out this Taiwan101 ROM, this one from a russian forum (25/07?) and this one from a chinese forum (newer Taiwan?).
I also had the issue with these strange colors, its the wrong display driver. I fixed it with SP_MDT by selecting RX_50NT_401B as display driver. It seems that these ROMs had all RX_50NT_365A as default which end up in wrong colors.
With the 25/07 Firmware i also killed my cameras, should also be fixable with the correct drivers.
This 'not signed' error appears also with custom recovery ?
yep i can not get the back camera to work/switch, going to try your later rom is it rooted?
How do i install these roms?the later newer Taiwan as i am not used to dual core,do you copy zip to sd card (internal) and go to recovery and update via sd card?
and how would you change the display driver if not flashing via tools
Did you ever have the cameras working as they should?
100 questions.......
hope we can get there in the end

Yes exactly, you had to copy the file to the sd card and flash it via recovery. But you had to install a custom recovery first (i flashed only the recovery. Flashing also the boot.img and the preloader out of this zip ended with a not booting phone.

I flashed the driver with tools. Not the hole ROM, just the uboot.bin. It seems that sp_mdt saves the driver in uboot when you close the programm. I did so and flashed the uboot with the 'normal' flashtool.

Both cameras survived every change of firmware until i flashed the 25/7 ROM.
It seems that there are several hardware version. With the Taiwan101 firmwares the external sd card will not be recognized. I flashed the boot.img from the 13/07 firmware and the sd card came back. SD card is also out of function with your stock rom.
I still had the problem with phone not going into deep sleep. Also NoFrills couldn't change that. Maybe i've not found the right ROM for my hardware yet. I got it from CECT.
Hi i have flashed with the firmware from kylie and changed the display driver whilst flashing with mdt..display is good
I do not have back camera i see no way to switch to back but the front works fine and i have no idea as when i flashed with default driver it was the same no back camera
I do have external SD no problem with 32gb
I had no problems with imei
i need a recovery to flash

The root tutorial posted here does not work with new firmware,so i copied recovery image from custom recovery (brunos)and replaced recovery in new firmware and flashed using mdt with the driver change for graphics..it worked and installed custom recovery and i then proceeded to root with the cwm-su zip in recovery and it worked.
but still no back camera
Cameras and display are working now with these drivers selected in sp_mdt :
mt9p017_raw hi704_yuv RX_50NT_401B
Which display driver have you choosen ? The same ?

You have tested all possible drivers ? Did the second camera work befor flashing ?
I changed the driver and bootet into system test (power+vol. down) to see if the cams are back or not. Its a bit faster than waiting for android to boot completely.

Hi used your firmware link outcome the same no camera so i flashed taiwans rom still no back camera,used uboot from n8000 has the correct drivers for cameras but not display...uboot from i9220 has wrong drivers as has the uboot from note.
used the firmware sent to me by supplier renamed it update zip and installed over taiwans rom and still no back camera.
was getting error "can not connect to camera" several times through out the process,have called it a day and am returning device..
Repartition N9770
Has anyone come out with the 2.5g repartition yet??
Try clearing your cache and removing your battery. Then, install any free basic new Jellybean cam app from the market. See if that re-installs your camera.

Hi and thanks for your suggestion i had already tried that with 3-4 different apps,all stated they could not connect to camera,for me it is a hardware fault as i have done everything humanly possible to resolve.i have now returned device and await a new one.
having talked with china supplier the n9770 has a lot of problems and was released to market to early..most of the models sent out have been recalled due to major faults and they said it wont be until middle of September before the chipset mt6577 is back,whether there is any truth in that i do not know..but they had no replacement for me and have already issued a full refund and postage costs on emailing proof of postage so they seem honest....ummm

Something very strange happened yesterday.
I got the latest OTA and installed it, after this the touch screen is not responding at all.
I managed to control the tablet with an usb mouse, so I have been able to do a factory reset, but to no avail.
Just now I'm clueless on what to do.
I actually did on more thing in the same process; the initial reason for why I took up the tablet yesterday, was to put on a screen protector film.
So while it was updating I put on the screen protector, after all this was done the touch screen was not responding. I don't think this issue has nothing to do with the screen protector, and I have also now removed the film. But still the screen does not react to touch.
But what to do from here?
Is it possible to revert to a previous version of the firmware?
I doubt reversion is the best option.
If this was common this forum would be flooded with complaints.
It might have been something to do with putting on the screen protector DURING an update.
Factory reset may help. Did you try the pinhole reset switch?

I can use the tablet with a usb mouse, and have been able to do a factory reset. But this did not difference.

Interesting.
Was it after the latest OTA the touch screen stopped working? Or was it something else that started this?
My tablet is stock in every way, never been rooted or had other roms installed.
I could of course send it in to service, but since I bought the tablet while on holiday in Washington DC and I reside in Norway, it's a little unpractical.

I back to ICS stock rom (Acer_AV043_A700_RV07RC06_EMEA_FR), then I apply the update (Acer_A700_AV043.RV07RC06_AV043.RV23RC04_EMEA_FR).

Seems the touch FW is incorrect.Maybe you can download the OS upgrade image from Acer website and reflash OS. I checked the image and it should packed touch FW. If still failed, maybe contact Acer service is good way to solve your problem.
Good luck.
I had the same problem this week, bought the Tablet on monday, made the OTA Update and boom, no Touch input.
I resolved it by unlock my device, flash CWM and then flashed a older full rom.
After that i made the OTA Update again and this time it worked well.
I can upload the ROM i used for this if it's needed.

Problem: Screen touches are bugged..
Hi,
I need some urgent help..
I upgraded my A700 (was shipped with 4.0.4) to JB but the screen touches are completely off track. I did the following:
1) unlocked the bootloader
2) flashed CWM Rom 6.0.1.5
3) installed cm-10
Don't know what to do next..
I have an Acer A700 and I'm having the same problem as others here.
Once I upgarded my ROM, the A700 touch-screen did not work.
I found a post that explained a fix. Here's what I did:
* Flashed the non-touch CWM v6.0.1.5
* Wiped everything (system, data, cache, dalvik)
* Installed the IconiaN ROM (by Vorbeth) and choose the option to have IconiaN upgrade my "Touch Firmware"
* The A700 is now booting with version JB-653b3d3 (Unlocked)
* The ROM loads just fine
However, in the ROM, the touchscreen does not work. Clicking in one place on the screen will trigger a click in an entirely different area of the screen.
I then tried installing one of the stock Acer ROMs from their website through CWM. None of them would load, not sure why?
Other people here seem to have solved the problem by flashing an "older ROM" from Acer. I could not find any trace of this older ROM.
I'm running an American version (PA1_CUS) if that makes any difference? I've also tried installing CM 10.1 with the same problems in the touchscreen.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Where can i get the acer software to update? i've tried to find it on the acer website but i cant find it.
please help. i just got the device and i updated it and now a portion of the screen becomes unresponsive to touch input.
toggling the screen on and off will fix it temporarily but that only lasts for 5 minutes max before it stops being responsive again.
Every thing on it is stock so i want to keep it that way

Try Google and search for your Rom Build number. Should be able to find the update file. You can also try some of the Acer support sites. I remember they have some ICS full roms for the 700.
Next of course, you're going to ask how to install it?
1. Decrypt the original update file (tool is in the themes and apps forum)
2. Using 7zip, OPEN the decrypted file (DO NOT UNZIP IT)
3. Pull the "update.zip" (NO NOT UNZIP IT)
4. Copy the update.zip to your ext sd card
5. Start tablet holding PWR & Vol- or + (can't remember which) until you see the text in upper left corner then release. Now, JB may have a different stock recovery which offers a small menu. I believe you can select the install update from there.
If the update doesn't install, it may be the wrong update file, so you'll have to search for another.
Anyhow, should work for you. But you may have to roll back to the original ICS rom (full version) then OTA update again.
Remember though, you do this at your own risk, so if things get messed up, don't blame anybody

I started to do some work on that tabled, but stuck with kernel touchscreen configuration. See here.
Touch chip is Goodix GT911, screen size is 800x1280 px. I managed to get touch working but partialls. First aprox 1.2 inches of top of screen are not responsive to to touches. After that 1.5" touch works normally.
I'm pretty sure I'm sending wrong configuration data array to chip and thats why its not working as it should, but have no time at the moment to toy with it. If anyone experienced with Goodix chips, pm me with ideas...

Update: I started to toy with stock kernel and cm10.2 (my first CM ever, was working with AOSP based SoC manufacturers sources). Problem is that device uses separate partition for internal sdcard, so have to disable emulated storage.
Things done:
- recovery
- android is built against precompiled stock kernel
Status:
- after bootanim and starting apps screen android reboots and starts back with bootanim. This was one day tryout, will debug it later today. Thanx to TeamNostalgia's preparation for cm10.2 on Amlogic MX. I used their framework and device stuff, upgraded with latest amlogic version of sources. Because of SLA I have with Amlogic, I cannot put it online.
any news abouth root final this tablet?
thx for info

It is. I'm not CM guy really, but its possible. If anyone interested, TeamNostalgia's github does have decent tree for Amlogic MXS tablets. I did some CM10.2 work for that tablet, but ended up with bootloop and reboot eventually. Didn't had time do debug it.
Here 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=504411&view=findpost&p=29560411 is a customized firmware from Prestigio PMP3970B to work on Prestigio PMP5670C. But it does not run on PMP5670C, stands on the splash screen. Maybe someone will take to complete the firmware, it is better factory firmware for the tablet PMP5670C

I fixed U-Boot (wrote my own to support device tree kernel - 3.10.10) and fixed touch screen. I did not upload this fw, started to work yesterday on amlogic's 4.4 sources (they support both mx and m8 chipsets) (no, I cant share, I have SLA with them), I have boot, only left few things to test and then I'll upload 4.4.2.
Thank you for keep working! Waiting for rom)

Here's beta version of rom: http://www.stane1983.com/prestigio_pmp5670c/
Read install instructions, needs to be installed twice, uboot still not perfect. Waiting for feedback
Btw, it's 4.2.2 rom, KitKat doesn't work good (unstable) on MXS chip.
Installed today morning. Seems all good! Thank you very much

Rename uImage_recovery to recovery.img (when installing back stock firmware).

Now I successfully installed the 1.0.05 but there is a quite big issue: I can not able to install anything from Play, the Download Manager is acutally (lots of system apps too) 0.0kb

I'm really sorry for inconveniences. With 1.0.05 files on sdcard, delete factory_update_param.aml file and boot into recovery (as if you want to install firmware). From menu using vol +/- and power for select choose factory reset (data partition is not formatted using old partition layout, thats why you have 0kb). After that you also can reflash firmware if you want (just select zip from sdcard).

My daughter get this tablet from her grandfather on 03.05.2014 ( I guess she is lucky about that date ), and it was so slow and ugly and everything.
I installed your bety rom and everything is perfect. BUt after first reboot i get setup wizard again, but the first time after Install I only get FC ( just like I should ) but it didnt throw me back to setup wizard again.
Can I expect wizard setup every time I reboot or?
And Yes, thank you a lot for this awesome and fast work. The tablet is now so much more usable.
HVALA TI STANE MNOGO => THANK YOU STANE A LOT
@stane1983 I have the same problem as @babicsbalu. My pmp5670c is also stuck at black screen after rebooting and installing new stock firmware. I did both, renaming from uImage_recovery to recovery.img and deleting factory_update_param.aml and every time with the same result.
Please help me!
Or you can PM me (I'm from Croatia)
Hvala ti!
Well I also have prestigio tablet pmp5670C_BK_DUO and within a week it got bricked somehow. I guess that broken charging pin on cable had something to do with it - probably did a short circuit or something and boot loader got corrupt. Tabled was responding to connection of new charging cable, but only backlight turned on. There was no logo or anything.
I browsed several pages and nothing worked. I tried with official upgrade from SD card but it didn't work. It started to upgrade, android-upgrade logo came up, but after reboot nothing happened. Damaged bootloader was unable to start the tablet.
After a day or so I finally found a way how to unbrick it! Yeah.... So in attached file there is the detailed procedure, which I found on some Russian page.
Good luck!
Recovery.rar no longer available

I had a similar problem here and this method seems promising, but the recovery file indicated on the PDF is no longer available. Would you still have it lying around somewhere?
Thank you!!

I got this tablet 2 month ago, i have found on w w w 4pda ru 4 custom rooms for this tablet and i used google chrome to translate in english to understand what i have to do, i have instaled every one rom but i got a problem, with all custom rom the internal storage disapear. I instaled stock version now and the internal storage is there ready to be used. Custom roms are better than stock rom but it's annoyng me the missing internal storage. Anyone with this problem or anyone know how to fix it?
Edit: I instaled stock rom then i instaled again Firmware v.1.0.10 from MrCheba Repack and now i have internal storage working maybe reinstall the stock rom fix it.
I own a BLU Pure XL, installed the custom CM12 rom to try out and I forgot to backup. I noticed someone uploaded the Stock Rom for 5.1 but for some reason It won't let me download anything from the play store showing it as paused all the time. I have cleared data for all the download apps,play store, and play store services within the apps section and installed a GAPP zip get the same result. The same error occurs with the OTA update saying cannot connect even with access to the internet and the ability to search the app store.
So if anyone has a stock 6.01 version and could upload it I would greatly appropriate it
I have the same problem. Unable to download anything from the play store. Still searching for a solution. Please let me know if you resolve this issue and I will do the same
I'm going through it ,too, thought about flashing Gionee ROM
Bought New Phone
I am not to much of a fan of the phone anyways so bought a BB Priv. If anyone finds a solution please post so I can have a backup phone
OK, I had to utilize the Gionee scatter file and stock ROM in order to get the phone partitioned correctly,
I then took the BLU Scatter file and Stock ROM , boot, and recovery and flashed it afterward. Then did a factory reset. Took updates then rooted, again. You are left with the Gionee splash screen... But that's an easy fix.
Appears that the versions of TWRP posted DO NOT partition the phone correctly and writes a TWRP partition that screws everything up.
I will post links or you can find them yourself in the meantime. They are all on xda mainly on the thread about rooting... Odd thing is. Phone seems to run better than before... I would have left the Gionee ROM up and running if it wasn't 4G only... I'll post links later.
Its been well documented to use the TWRP 2.8 not the 3,0 as it has issues partitioning. there is a whole thread about unbricking where we went into EXTENSIVE depth on this
