[Q] Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10f bricked - General Questions and Answers

I was following the steps from xda guide as i seen it from the link bellow :http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-lenovo-tab-2-a10-70-root-t3279322
in the third session "3. Install Custom Recovery" at the fifth step
"Connect the turned-off tablet to the PC. Recovery will flash in a matter of seconds and you will get a big green OK on the software."
i got te following wrong message: error (2005) not start bootrot (something like that)
So i made the huge mistake to plug - off the usb cable from my pc and i tried to repeat the fifth step the device didn't respond so i plugged it off again and i tried to boot it up but it wasn't responding at all.
Is there any way to boot it and hard reset it?
PS. The tablet is fully charged.

Did u figure out anything?

Hi guys,
I bricked my lenovo tab too with format tab in sptools (what a dummy I was :silly.
The tablet was nearly dead, not visible in windows (device manager) nor linux (lsusb) and no vibration or display at all when I pressed the power button.
I managed to get it revived by following these steps :
0. prepare sptools on the computer in download mode (download only) and ready to flash a rom (waiting for a connection)
1. remove back cover on the tab (begin with the usb port on top with your fingers and use a plastic tool to get the job done) and unplug the battery pin
2. press vol+ and vol- (not that easy without the backcover) and hold until the end
3. plug in the usb cable to the computer
4. plug the battery pin
5. prey your computer to recognize the tablet and start flashing
I hope this can help.
And don't forget : NEVER use the format tab in sptools with this tablet
Enjoy

Thank you very much, it helped and now works like a charm

Hi there . So I bricked my Lenovo as well with format tab and now it's not recognized by computer at all even after trying with battery unplug . I suspect that it's a driver issue and that I should install windows 7 instead of using 10 . Can somebody pls tell me what windows and drivers were you using when you u bricked it . I am 6 years late lol.

Trouble with Lenovo Tab2 a7-10f

Hello.
I have a problem with my lenovo tablet
During flashing a older stock rom in, I selected incorrect rom and now the device doesn't boot.
Doesn't react to holding any combination of volume +/- and power.
Doesn't react to power button at all. If I plug it in to a charger, it doesn't show the charging animation.
SPFlashTool is unable to do anything after I pick the device, it sees it but is unable to flash it in. (I will attach logs after I get home)
Windows still detects a MT65xx Preloader after I plug it into a USB port. (I have removed the MTEK vcom USB driver since the flashing attempt)
Is the situation still salvageable? Can I somehow still give life back to my bricked device?
Thanks in advance.
Well, almost a year later I've bumped into the exact same issue.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
Damn...
----EDIT----
I've managed to sove this. Had to open the tablet and remove the cable that connects the battery. Once reconnected, the tablet was able to be powered on.

Bricked Lenovo Tab 2 A7 10F
I was trying to flash TWRP and get my Lenovo Tab 2 A7 10F to root but during the process i don't know which scatter file i chose since it the scatter files were more than 1.
So i tried one by one all of the three scatter files and tried to flash but I don't know which scatter file i chose. So i removed the USB from my tab since the bar at the bottom wasn't progressing and now the tab won't turn on.
KINDLY SUGGEST ?? :'( :'( Otherwise my dad go angry on me. PLEASE !!! PLEASE !!! PLEASE !!! PLEASE !!! SOMEONE SAVE ME _/\_

I just opened the back cover and disconnected the battery cable. I didn't remove the battery.
Anyway, you can search youtube for videos that shows you how to open the back cover.
Cheers!
Thanks for the help!!! had the same issue

Hey, i was in the same problem some weeks ago.
I finally figured it out after spending 2 nights continuously, so here is what you need to do.
1. Carefully open the back cover of your tablet and find the square connector which connects the battery and disconnect it.
2. Now download the stock Kitkat rom for the tablet from xda.
3. Install vcom drivers for mediatek 65xx.
4. While the connector is removed plug the cable to the computer or laptop.
5.Then connect the mini usb to your charging port (Again the connector should not be attached to motherboard).
6. Load scatter file in sp flash tool uncheck preloader, MBR and SEC_RO.
7.Then hit the start button and wait for it!
8. Now remove the cable, attach the battery connector to motherboard. AND BOOT!!!:good::good::victory:
If this help you please give a thanks.

What did you flash exactly? You sure you flashed something that's specifically made for your phone ?
Also what combination have you tried yet.
Download another stock rom for your phone load scatter text ,click download and connect your phone to PC via USB while holding the vol+button only

Meta mode( usually vol+ button) is the most successful way of of recovering from a hardbrick for lenovo but after looking up your device you guys coonect meta mode dffrntly.now this is the most successful way of unbricking your phone
pick the official ROM for A850i came with A850_203 multilanguage firmware.
You'll need MTK 65XX metamode driver – USB VCOM Preloader driver, if you previously installed then there is no need.
SP Flash Tool to download the firmware to the phone.
(Make sure you have a working version as some so tool don't work as they're supposed to into ,I'm using version 5.1)
Run SP-Flash Tool, map the scatter loading MTK6582 for your firmware, normally inside the firmware folder. It will mapped the necessary file and partition for your device, After that click Download and leave it searching for device, it will start flash when found the device,
so next we need to activate back the dead phone of Meta mode USB Vcom MTK65xx , firstly remove the battery, simply press and hold VOLUME UP & DOWN + Power Button simultaneously while reinsert USB that connect the phone to PC.
The previous SP Flash that searching for device will start the download process just after the META mode activated, if you failed then try repeat the step :fingers-crossed:
And hit the thumps up button if this post has been helpfull good luck:good:

So please if anybody knows how to flash this device tell me.

did you tried to boot at recovery to try a factory reset? meta mode is for fixing baseband and imei and it uses adb to send baseband to the modem partition. try to press vol up or down or both + power instead.
There is no factory reset at recovery in this clone phone.
