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 :

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 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
Has anyone got a root method that works for the HDC Galaxy S3 G9300?
Have tried Bin4ry v18 and another script but they didn't work.
The phone has JB 4.1.1. The Kernel is 3.4.0 dated Dec 3 2012. The build number is; e1920_v77_zlh_9p017_asx_20121203
Thanks for any help or advice.
Is now rooted, read on..

Me too. I've spent probably 6 hours today messing around with the 1.8 version script, on both windows 7 and Linux. It always fails the same place, with mount permission denied ... are you root?
I have other issues with the G9300 that I'd like to tackle, like WiFi range, but digging in requires root access. Here's hoping somebody smarter than I can find a way to root this thing.

The tutorial isn't clear about how to run Android Kitchen. In the Android Kitchen folder is a script called 'menu' that has to be executed by cygwin. Launch cygwin first with the .bat file in its install folder. Then, navigate to the 'menu' script. Hint: '/cygdrive/c/<path to Android Kitchen>/menu'
Nowhere does the tutorial say to copy 'Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip' onto your sd. You will want to do that before beginning the final recovery step.

I have just run through it on my phone and all has gone well until I got to where mobileuncle tools flashes the recovery.img. It needs Superuser access to do that and I don't have it. I am thinking it must be something to do with the Menu script you mentioned. How to you run that script? What is the command for it?
Thanks for any help!

From what you've written I will make a few assumptions. It sounds like you successfully did the rebuild with Android Kitchen, where it created a new recovery.img. And then you used SP Flash Tool to successfully transfer the new image to your phone.
You don't need mobileuncle. It's a great utility to have, but you don't need if for this process. Install it later when this is all done.
If the above assumptions are correct, you already have downloaded the modded recovery to your phone and you're 95% done. It sounds like all you need to do is put the zip install for su, superuser, and busybox onto your sd card, boot into recovery (upvolume+power), navigate to 'install zip from sd card', install the su-superuser-busybox zip, and reboot.
If that doesn't work, I suggest working your way back up the chain – re-downlod the new recovery.img; if that fails, rebuild the new recovery.img; etc.

Finally, you rooted the phone. Do you think you could upload the rom somewhere? Others can just download it and flash without going through the entire process. Good Job!!

Hi - Yes you are right, I have created the recovery.img and transferred it to the phone.
Thanks for the tip that I don't need to use mobileuncle.. So I have booted up into CWM and have the su-superuser-busybox zip on my sd card. Trouble is CWM doesn't recognise the sd card and says E: unknown volume. That is strange because android sees it fine when the phone starts.
I am still wondering if my problem is from the the android kitchen part. I wasn't able to run android kitchen. I think I better run through the process again. How did you bring up the 'menu' in kitchen? I ran cygwin first and then navigated to kitchens path and used /menu and also ./menu but just got an error message. Even dumped all of kitchens files into cygwins root directory in case I had messed up the navigation path but still got the same error message whenever I tried to run menu. How did you get it to run please?
Thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:

I have uploaded the recovery.img that I created here. Remember, because it works on my phone is no guarantee that it won't break yours. You use it solely at your own risk. Also, you will still need to use CWM to install the su+superuser+busybox zip from your sd.
Next problem - no 3G
Having the phone rooted, I've gone on to the next problem that has no ready solution.
That is, no 3G. I use the AT&T network in the USA. AT&T uses WCDMA on 850MHz and 1900MHz for their 3G service. The HDC G9300+ doesn't support WCDMA at 1900MHz, which is the band that AT&T uses most. Where I am (Phoenix AZ) there is only 1900MHz service, which means that I can't get any 3G. Only 2G "Edge".
The problem *might* be remedied through software - or maybe not. If the MTK6577 radio doesn't support 1900MHz in some hardware sense, then the game is over. But I doubt that for two reasons. First, from a marketing standpoint, the AT&T network is too big to just ignore when designing a generic platform like the MTK6577. Second, from a hardware standpoint, the transceiver frequencies are synthesized from one base oscillator through a set of on-chip frequency multipliers and dividers. If the MTK6577 can generate frequencies in the 2100MHz band it can almost surely generate frequencies in the 1900MHz band. What's required is a software driver that properly sets the multipliers and dividers.
My bet is that somewhere out there in the world there is a software driver for the phone's radio that can set the chip to work in the 1900MHz band.
Can somebody find that driver so that we can bundle it into a ROM for this phone? Or a tool to adjust the driver that's bundled with the phone?
Please tell me

Thanks for uploaded your recovery file. I thought I would try that before going through the process of redoing mine. This time it kicked straight into CWM without any sdcard errors, so was able to install the zip file. It is now nicely rooted and has been running for several hours, and as yet I have found no problems.
Great job and thanks for sharing your knowledge :good:

First time I purchased from them, found them very good and had no problems. Took about 15 days to get it. Considering there were xmas & new year holidays at the time it was pretty good.
How to root your HDC Galaxy S3 G9300+
For those wanting to root their HDC Galaxy S3 G9300+ phones follow these steps;
Download wseverin's 'recovery.img' from post #10.
Download my 'MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt', 'su+superuser+busybox.zip', 'SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01.rar' and 'MT657x_USB_Win7_Driver.zip' files that I have attached to this post.
Install the USB drivers to your computer if you don't already have them.
Copy the su+superuser+busybox.zip file to your phones SD Card.
Run Flash Tool (Flash_tool.exe) in administrator mode.
Load my scatter file.
Next, backup your original recovery file (This is very important in case something gets messed up) Do this using the 'Read-Back' function. Select Hex and enter 0x1588000 for Start Address and 0x600000 for Length. Before clicking the Read Back button, shutdown your phone and remove the battery and USB cable. Next click Read Back, plug in the USB cable and replace the battery (But do not switch the phone on) The software will backup the file and come up with an OK window if successful.
Next flash your phone with wseverin's recovery.img. Do this from the Download tab in Flash Tool and tick the Recovery option. Before pushing the Download button you will also need to shutdown the phone, remove the battery and USB cable as above.
Next start the phone holding the volume-up + power buttons. This will boot the phone into CWM. Choose 'Install zip from sdcard', then 'choose zip from sdcard', navigate to the su+superuser+busybox.zip file and select yes to install it.
That's it! So easy!!
If you followed the steps correctly, after you reboot the phone it should have root access.. However, be warned that your phone could be bricked if something goes wrong or your phone is a different model, so do this at your own risk and backup your original first!
PS: thanks to wseverin for the modded recovery file and being the 1st to root this phone.

Do I detect a hint of cynicism?
It seems to be a decently built phone. The display is good; actually better resolution than many competing models. Fit and finish are as good as you'll get anywhere. The capacitive touch screen is just fine. GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth all work well except that the WiFi range is a bit anemic. Software is pretty much standard Android Jelly Bean. I consider it worth what I paid for it, especially since I am not about to spend 3X that for a cell phone. Oh, and it actually makes and receives phone calls!

Yes mine is also 1Gb RAM. I have read that HDC and Star are the same, however I don't know this for sure. This is where I purchased my phone;

Does yours look the same??
If yours looks the same you could always try it I suppose, but make sure you backup your phones entire ROM first. That way you can reinstate the original in case it doesn't work.
Hello...thanks for reading this in advance, so lets cut through to the prob, i installed the Adroid rom by Aashish-kkhckr for my galaxy ace duos gt-s6802 , the rom is good but there is only one prob ! i can't get to install arabic language support on it, letters are from left to right (supposed to be viceversa) and also: in arabic those letters are supposed to be connected yet they are divided ..
so i looked it up as much as i could and got to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28189219
but there is a prob, it never mentions how to put those three files manually into the system, as it is shown int he thread there is a step where i copy the files in folder OUTPUT into my system replacing the original ones, yet i tried it manually via root explorer and got a boot loop !!
other threads and forums said that there are certain steps to do that is through the adb samsung-whatever.. i tried it but never could install and work with the program unfortunately ! this is such a torment now and if ur wondering if i tried flashing the framework.zip file ; yes i did ! and it gave me an error.
help would be much much appreciated. thanks agn
Hello folks, i have Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H and i have rooted my phone and installed the CWM recovery, which i think has done good.
Even the phone after being rooted hasn't done me any good.
I had initially started a topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178
But the OP hasn't been able to give me some working solutions.
So i am asking to anyone who knows about this stuff. I have rooted and installed CWM recovery, that still given me authority
over my SD-Card, i cannot copy/paste/delete/rename basically access it fully.
The only way i can do is, remove the SD-Card and insert in a Card reader and copy/paste/delete etc.
But i cannot directly do from phone itself.
I already have fX Explorer, Solid explorer and ES File Explorer.
Nothing has worked, so i am asking can anyone show me how to do that.
I would be grateful for your suggestion.
Awaiting reply.

Have you flashed new firmware ?
New kernels (boot.img) have default ro acess to sdcard !
Please state your infos :

The workaround I provide for this type won't work after update !!!
You will have to flash previous boot or recompile the new boot

If u have copied the update zip to extSdCard and run the update procedure in stock recovery U should be able to copy/edit/delete files on your extSdCard - Card if the install were sucessfull.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

I have already installed at least a dozen of explorer, most promising was fx explorer with it free root access add-on, the other was ES File
explorer. They both can't copy/paste files to Memory card.
My device is Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H, Android 4.4.2. I have already rooted and installed CWR mode, but i havn't flashed my firmware.
I am searching now for a possible firmware update, that could access memory card.
Could you do a small part from your side and find a firmware that can be flashed in my device, i will try from my side. :good:
Will update , if i find some solution.
KK SDCard fix

The users in this forum don't know how to read posts. U'r among them too. Sorry for my statement, but it's true.
It's not only the explorers,apps or managers that can copy files from/to. The KitKat have a fix for KitKat SDCard ro access.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

All of the stock firmwares uses KK RO acess for SdCard unless U install some custom & fixed ones.
Have also provided many tutorials in the subforums detaily how to fix it for GC2 models.
Latest firmwares uses some extra functionality regarding SDCards, fix will not work unless ...
Enjoy.

OK, thanks for the statement. I accept, i am a newbie here. I can figure my way through most of the other forum out there.
But one pertaining to Mobile device require's little more knowledge, because its tricky, since there are a huge number of devices.
I am not a regular visitor.
Anyways, i found a firmware for my device.
Link:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G355H/
http://samsung-updates.com/details/42605/Galaxy_Core_2/SM-G355H/INS/G355HXXU0AOC1.html
The second link to the firmware matched the hashes to the link in the first link.
Did the Odin thing, and all the necessary steps. But still i am not able to copy/paste/delete etc function.
So i technically give up for this device, i'll use it as it is.
@StratOS_HTC: I tried the KitKat access app from Google Play store, a number of them. But they all showed similar results.
But i'll be open to your opinion.
Thank you.:good:

Hello folks, i have Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H and i have rooted my phone and installed the CWM recovery, which i think has done good.
Even the phone after being rooted hasn't done me any good.
I had initially started a topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178
Awaiting reply.

As said and will said again :
Please read carefully !
Hope your phone works ok and everything else on phone is ok.
If you can't access your extSdCard throught phone do a low level format ( and hope you don't use 64 GB ).
Hope also you don't use any other EXT partition on your sdcard. or any other sd linkage or swap options on your sdcard
Format the sdcard as only extFAT or FAT on any other comp card reader and reformat it on the phone !
Now you should be able to access the sdcard on your phone if every thing else on phone is ok.
If U'r rooted on stock ( KitKat sdcard restriction ) and if U have installed nextapp.sdfix and grant su access to it the app will change this permissions for you and you will be able to aceess rw to sdcard now.
Hi
When using and following the instructions on how to flash a GT-N8010 I hit a problem and then the install aborts.
It says the files I have are not for the version of tab have, it thinks I have something like "p4noterf" but it is a GT-N8010.
I can't post directly to the forum as this is my first post. Tab is rooted and no matter what I do when trying to flash it aborts.
Any help much appreciated

Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
You may be able to use jrummy's root browser to unzip the ROM and edit the META-INF file to remove the updater script then use jrummy's root browser to repack the ROM, select "best" when it asks you what compression level you want to use. Then try flashing the ROM, but do this ONLY if you are certain that what you are flashing is made for your model and not another model, flashing stuff for other devices bricks a device most of the time. Only flash other stuff when it is clearly documented to work
As an additional step to further remove the possibility of a conflict, you can go to your system folder and edit your build.prop file. Edit all the lines that show the other device model, delete the other model number and enter the correct model number, when all the lines are edited correctly save the file then go to your system settings>about phone>model number and verify that it shows the correct model number.
DO NOT EDIT ANY OF THE OTHER LINES, ONLY THE LINES THAT SHOW THE OTHER MODEL NUMBER, ONLY DELETE THE MODEL NUMBER, DO NOT DELETE ANY OTHER PART OF THAT LINE, ENTER THE CORRECT MODEL NUMBER IN THE SAME FORMAT AS THE OTHER ONE WAS INCLUDING PUNCTUATION, SPACING AND CAPITALIZATION.
The other members here that are more familiar with your device may have a better or easier solution for you. Wait for a few experienced replies before you try anything. Good luck.

Run Phone Info from play store lets see what you have .
Explain what you are trying as p4noterf is correct .
This sounds to me as you are confusing the rom and the recovery .
Solved
Hi
Perfect. Edited the updater script and changed the recovery to TWRP. Loaded straight away after that. Thank you all for the advice.
