german language ?
Yes for settings and all stock app. All apps added by myself are not translated
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
brief assessment of the costum rom "pemergency" mod = which must be paid
- Setup / flash -> OK
- IMEI must be corrected manually by terminal as tool does not work
- Constant error message "simcard failed" (slot2) although only 1 slot has
- "apex launcher" can not uninstall, then stops at the boot process lenovo screen -> I would also like to use but "default / original" surface.
- Spoke only Russian / English / chinese integrated as standart
- Morelocale2 indeed is an alternative but not "original"
ok, first feedback - hope the rom is modified?

a) no comment
b) IMEI must be corrected and it is mentioned in a manual, it doesnt need to be done by terminal, you can simple generate a file and swap with a root explorer
c) This Rom is for A2107a-h which is a 2 slots device, so I dont see a problem on this point
d) I said as this is modiffication, I decide to remove a stock launcher, you can install any other one of your choice
e) I also answered to your question as for german language only original apps are translated and the main system, on other threeead is clearlly said as this rom using more locale 2 for translation.
f) and as a last one, why you expecting anything original in a modiffied ROM?
I stoping to doing anything with this ROM for a simple reason:
- FREE ROM = 900 downloads,
- PAID ROM FOR £5 = 5 downloads - embarrassing
Why?
and one more thing...
My correspondence with mrbonsen, when I tried to help him out with the installation process is also interesting. About 10 emails with instructions to mrbonsen and also 10 emails of insults from mrbonsen. That means something....
So conclusion is simply... go back to your original firmware and I will give you your £5 back
and also 10 emails of insults from mrbonsen.

if you tool mitsendest + description for the correction of the IMEI, it should work well. not every user knows another solution
But no matter now - can only recommend not to use this rom :good:
ask no insult but (as in the mails) what's wrong on the screen, apex launcher bug or "bug mrbonsen" - display does not turn or apex

You did a great job and 900 downloads are impressive. i have a A2107A-H 1GHz 1GB RAM 16GB Flash - how come nobody is providing feedback or helping out in this development? Could there be a way to update.zip just the standard factory ROM? maybe that could be possible by doing a diff on the chinese and european source code? sorry i'm just a lamer looking to help out. any news from lenovo developers on the 4.1 release?
today is your cwm rom accessible for download for trial?
Ofcourse it is possible to get back the standard ROM just ask someone who still have a European ROM to do a copy by nandroid backup and you can restore this by centeCWM. So after that you will have a stock ROM with CWM but without calling feature.
I nearly finish another ROM with calling feature but this will be based on Russian ROM. I just need to get European system backup to do it same thing with European ROM.

I don't know if I understood you but just to be sure; you get in recovery mode CWM and on reboot TWRP?
I don't think you will like this solution but probably you will get your phone to work again xD (you will lose your data)
First of all you need:
- Android SDK bundle (google it, you will find it) on your Computer
- And a Rom you want to sideload (In your case the Cyanogen Rom)
- Cwm
Follow this steps:
1. go to the SDK bundle folder you downloaded -> go to sdk
-> go to platformform-tools
-> copy your ROM (ZIP-file) inside that folder
-> and name it to ROM.zip (so you won't need to write down a longname in cmd afterwards)
2. go to the SDK bundle folder you downloaded -> go to sdk
-> now press [shift] + [right mouse button] on platformform-tools (folder) to open cmd
3. Reboot your device into recovery mode (use cwm)
4. Go to “Mounts & Storage” and make sure that you can see “Unmount /sdcard/” and “Unmount /system/” (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount).
5. Now connect your device to the PC.
6. Once the phone is connected to the PC type “adb devices” in the cmd. If it returns a long alphanumeric string the phone is successfully connected in ADB mode. (if not look out for a usb driver for your phone; most time the problem lies in there)
7. Now type “adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip” (replace the word ROM if didn't named it)
8. This may take a while so be patient.
9. Once the process is complete you’ll see a message like <12345678kb to 1234567kb> on the cmd window.
10. Now unplug the device.
11. Go to the main screen of recovery and perform factory reset, wipe cache partition and then in advance menu wipe Dalvik cache. (Now you will lose your data for sure xD)
12. Now go to install zip from sdcard and choose the zip file you just transferred.
13. Once the process is complete, reboot the device
Hope this will help you.

So I got to step 4 and I see the mount system but I don't see umount sdcard
Then mount system or skip this part
5,6 and 7 are the most important part.
Can you push the Rom on your phone?

adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip if I dont have the sdcard umonted will this still work?
I know I am repeating myself more or less (because I always edit my posts xD)
Well as long as you can push your file there shouldn't be sny problem

so I wrote the command and it sad "5143kb/s «241840314 bytes in 45.912s»"
then i went install the zip and I can't find it
ok i went and mounted the data , pushed the file and installed it, thank you so much
But now i need to install the stock backup that I did with TWRP
That's pretty weird xD Because you get the message for a successful transfer but can't find the Zipfile.
You could try to push the Zipfile again and don't wipe anything at all (because you already wiped everything) and try to find the Zip file again to flash it.
Btw what does CWM gives you as options if you click install Zip files?

Hi,
I want to upgrade my Nexus 5 (Android 6.0.1, not rooted) to Android 7 unofficially, so I downloaded Santhosh's Android 7 Build for Nexus 5.
After downloading it, I booted my Nexus 5 (connected to my MBP) to fastboot then using Terminal I had unlocked the bootloader, and I flashed the latest TWRP image for Nexus 5 to my Nexus 5. After I rebooted my Nexus 5 to recovery where it showed a screen (postimg(dot)org/image/rw3zdlmyt/), after which my phone kept rebooting in a boot loop.
I booted to fastboot after using the key combination, and used fastboot to erase the recovery and the system.
Now I'm all ears to get my Nexus 5 to Android 7.
Please help me out. I appreciate all your help.
Thanks,
Agneev
I recommend flashing back to stock, make sure everything works on stock, flash twrp, boot into recovery frlom fastboot right after flashing TWRP.

How should I flash back to stock since I've used the fastboot command fastboot erase system and fastboot erase recovery. Does my erasing of these 2 internal partitions change anything?? Since I've erased recovery, how do I get stock recovery back??
P.S. Thank you for replying.

Thank you for the reply, as I currently don't have recovery mode installed so does that change anything?
Also I'm flashing Android 7 directly, so if there is any other thing I need to know, please tell me as I would appreciate that.
To flash directly to 7, put the phone into fastboot mode and flash TWRP, boot into TWRP, mount data, copy the 7.0 ROM to the phone, and flash it.

apparently, TWRP says "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)"
In this case, I would start over by flashing the latest stock ROM, including the userdata.img, and then perform a factory wipe using stock recovery, flash twrp, flash 7.

So should I download the 6.0.1 image for Nexus 5 and then use Nexus Root Toolkit and flash all the .img files individually or should I just launch the batch file inside the 6.0.1 image and let it install automatically?
I would go with the latest stock MM ROM.
I always flash manually but the NRT accomplishes the same thing. Not sure if NRT flashes userdata.img. If the phone hangs at the boot animation and NRT did not flash userdata.img, you should manually flash of userdata.img and factory reset using stock recovery.

Try this first...
First install nexus 5 Driver in you PC
1) put your phone into bootloader mode and connect it to pc.
2) open Nexus Root ToolKit ,select your device as nexus 5 and android build version as android 6.0.1 (MOB31E) and click ''Lunch" under ''Advanced Utilities'''.Now under ''Fastboot Boot'' select ''Custom Recovery'' and then OK.you nexus will automatically booot into TWRP recovery(you don't need to flash twrp recovery before",since it will boot your phone into twrp for temporary when you click ''custom recovery'' option)
3) if your phone boot into Twrp then its ok otherwise you may have not properly installed or missing nexus 5 drivers in your pc.
GUIDE FOR PROPER INSTALLATION OF NEXUS 5 DRIVER(see attached image).
4) Now transfer your (android 7.0+gapps) zip files in your nexus 5.since you can access you internal storage in PC in TWRP mode.
5) Before doing this step..please backup your current ROM because this step will erase everything from your phone except your internal storage.
Now select WIPE> Advance wipe and select Dalvik cache,system,data,cache and leave unchecked ''INTERNAL STORAGE''..Otherwise you will end up wiping you internal storage.
6) After wiping finised,go back to main menu option and select ''INSTALL'' and navigate to your Android 7.0 zip file folder and swipe to install..
7) after successfull installation you may get red error at last but ignore it and select system to boot..
8) if everything goes well then again boot into TWRP as described above and flash gapps and reboot.
9) after your phone starts you may get some apps errors like forced close or stop working or not responding..In this case just go to setting >Apps >just click 3 dots at top right corners and select show system and find that apps if it is a system app or user app and Grant all permission to that app.
10) now root your android 7.0 if you want to use rooted applications. like Adaway
(to block ads),Greenify(to increase battery life and performance),SCR Pro(to record screen),MiXplorer(advance file manager),LMT Launcher(to increase your display size),
CF.lumen(for eye comfort),Link2SD,Tubemate etc
11) But remember Since android 7.0 has been released recently..there are more chances of bugs in ROM,many apps may not compatible with android 7.0...as myself rolled back to android 6.0.1 after using android 7.0 for few days due to some issues with my favourite apps.
IF YOU STILL UNABLE TO FLASH ANDROID 7.0 DUE TO SOME ERRORS...
THEN TRY THIS METHOD...
first download nexus 5 factory image 6.0.1
1) connect your phone to pc in bootloader mode and open nexus root toolkit.
2) now look up for option ''Flash Stock+Unroot'' then hit and press OK.
3) now do as i shown in attached images (load factory image 1 and 2) and wait if it ask to download hatch like thing then allow,it may require internet connection and watch it..
4) process will begin automatically in cmd and reboot into system after completion.
5) now after system boots up to stock rom,just enable ''developer option'' by tapping 3,4 times in ''build number'' under setting >about phone and turn on ''developer option'' and enable ''usb debugging'' option.
6) now keep your phone connected to pc and click ''ROOT'' option in Nexus Root Toolkit.
It may require internet connection to download root files if its already not downloaded and wait till root.
7) after rooting your nexus 5.Again boot your phone into twrp mode (temporarly or else you can flash twrp permanently) using nexus root toolkit and backup your whole system file if you need it to restore at future.
GUIDE FOR FLASHING TWRP PERMANENTLY IN NEXUS 5...
a) download twrp recovery from here... https://twrp.me/devices/lgnexus5.html
and rename it to recovery.img (to replace your stock recovery)
b) now select ''advanced utilities'' in nexus root toolkit and slect ''Browse/other'' under ''Fastboot Boot'' option and click ok and browse your recovery.img(i.e renamed twrp recovery.img)
c) now it will automatically flashes twrp and will replace your stock recovery.
8) now in twrp recovery select wipe >advance wipe> Dalvik cache,system,data,cache and leave unchecked ''INTERNAL STORAGE''..Otherwise you will end up wiping you internal storage.
9) after this follw the same steps mentioned in previous first method...
for sake of more information you can also change your boot animation logo on nexus 5 startup..just by going to system >media>replace (bootanimation.zip) to your desired boot animation but before replacing change your new boot animation to (bootanimation.zip) and set permission as RWRR in properties.

Hi everybody, I'm new here and I hope my question does not sound too stupid . My grandson brought me his Galaxy tab 2 GT-P5113 and it is a rooted device . It has android version 4.2.2 installed and it will not update because the device has been modified appears . He does not have the original data cable just a cable that will charge . Here is the question. Do I need to hook up to a PC to install Beanstalk rom or can it be installed off of the SD card ? Any help and install procedure would be greatly appreciated . Thank you .
As long as it has a custom recovery installed such as TWRP you can download and flash any rom that you like without a pc

Search for twrp recovery and download and install the correct version for your device (if it's not already installed). Then install the rom using twrp (no pc needed for this).
Greetings,
THIS IS A LONG(will take upto 1 hour of your time) BUT EASY PROCESS. SO DON'T WORRY.
After reading your question I understood that you want to install beanstalk ROM on your device.
I suggest you NOT to install beanstalk as it is discontinued and not updated ROM.
To install the ROM you should have a custom recovery.
I will proceed you as following :
1. Installing a custom recovery.
- Download Flashify from play store.
- Download this recovery from here :- https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579495495
- Open Flashify and open the flash(or install tab), it must be opened by default anyways.
- Select 'Flash Custom Recovery' and navigate to the file downloaded.
- After you click install, you device will reboot.
- Now you have a custom recovery installed.
2. Downloading the ROM and correct gapps
I suggest you to install this ROM(as it is updated and supported at the moment) :-
- Download the ROM. :- https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569950580
- Open this website :- https://opengapps.org
- Select ARM, then 7.1, then Pico and download the GApps(google apps, play store and all).
3. Flashing
- Power off your device(make sure you have atleast 30% battery).
- Press Volume Up + Power button until your device vibrates.
- If you get some sort of message, just click "Keep read only".
- Click wipe.
- Click advanced.
- Select : Data, Dalvik/ART, System and cache.
- Swipe the slider to right and wait until you see " Done in the dialog box"
- Press the home button
- Click Install
- Locate the ROM first and select it and swipe the slide towards right again.
- Once you see "script succeeded result = 1.000000" press home button.
- Click install again.
- Locate to the GApps.
- Install it just as you did with ROM above.
- After installation click home button.
- Click wipe and select : Cache, Data and Dalvik/ART. DO NOT CLICK SYSTEM.
- Click the home button.
- Click reboot.
- Click system.
- Done!!
IMPORTANT :- The first boot will take around 5-15 minutes, this is normal. After your device boots, please connect it to your charger and keep it aside for 5 minutes and then set it up.
Thank you, if you have any problem or doubt just write me back.
I have downloaded everything you suggested and will try and install everything later . Thank you again for the instructions .
