Lenovo A1 help! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi first off i'm sorry if i didn't post this in the correct area.
So my Lenovo A1 tablet has been really acting up lately due to a failed flash of the newest version of Cyanogenmod 7. After the failed flash, I flashed the ramdisk needed for my device which is called, "stock-at-ramdisk-2643.zip" then i restored the backup as the directions said. Now my wireless either says, "error" or it doesn't scan for networks nearby. Also I'm getting random reboots pretty much ever 1-2 minutes. I'm pretty sure i ran through the instructions correctly.
Any help is appreciated!

This is the link for CM7 for the A1. Check here for your issue and possible answers.

[Q] Help with rooting!

Hey guys,
Just followed the instructions for rooting and flashing my phone (can't post link yet) , ran into a few issues.
I've just noticed that both my camera and wifi aren't working, did anyone else experience this?
Also, when trying to install Gingerman, it didn't seem to do anything. The screen came up, I clicked flash zip from sdcard, and it said it finished (in about 3 seconds). When it rebooted, I didn't see anything except the startup screen change.
I have a Huawei U8150, there's no specific subforum for it
Cheers!

[Q] Wifi will not turn on

I have a Transformer Prime and I decided to flash CM9. I installed CWM via Rom Manager. This was my first time flashing with my prime but I have flashed many times with my droid 1 so I'm not completely new to this. Wiped data, flashed CM9 and then flashed google apps on top of that. This created a bootloop for whatever reason which I fixed using adb. (First time ever using adb). CM9 booted up fine but when it goes to ask for my account info during first bootup, the wifi wont turn on. It says "Turning wifi on" but never does anything. Let it sit for half an hour and nothing. Decided to skip that thinking it might work when everything is booted up. Suffice to say, doesn't work. Says MAC address unavailable. Bluetooth wont turn on either. Can't browse files at all due to no file manager app. Rom manager is installed but says CWM is no longer installed. Can boot into fastboot only but not CWM. Can't reinstall CM9 or stock ROM due to no CWM. Anyone know how I can fix this? I would just like to get the wifi on or get back to stock if that is necessary. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Correction, am now able to enter CWM, going to wipe and reflash.
EDIT2: Solved the issue. Figures, after 5 hours of trying to figure it out and then posting, I fix the issue in 10 minutes. Sorry for the post.
Glad you made it.
Thank you for getting through this either alone or through search. Also, thank you for sharing how you solved it. Can i also thank you again for editing the title of the thread to include a [SOLVED] tag?

[Q] Hisense Sero Pro 7 - wifi stuck turning on

Hi all.
I'm running xboxexpert's 4.2.1 ROM with the UI MOD and clockworkmod recoverty 6.0.3.2. I keep wifi off generally for battery unless I need it. One day turning it on it gets stuck with the "Turning wi-fi on..." text but nothing happening.
I had wifi fixer installed to see logging at one point and it's help pointed to a possible know issue where this happens and said flashing is the only fix. OK fine I'll flash. Nope, same thing.
I've tried some of the other ROMS in the hisense forum but they've all failed. aosp's throw a warning that there's no file_contexts**, it fails to umount cache. Once it gets passed symlinking and metadata the applyparsedperms throws an error: operation not supported so the install is aborted. Do I need to load a different/newer recovery mod for these?
I've also tried the stock ROM and have the same issue w/wifi getting stuck when turning on.
Every time before I flash I'm formatting everything clockwork lets me: cache, data, system, modem, sdcard, dalvik. Each time I get it to boot, wifi is stuck.
I'm a bit of an android noob so speak in small sentences please.
Thanks.

Tried to post there. Site wouldn't let me due to low post count.
I also haven't found a thread that has helped me yet so I figured start one so I could get my hand held through fixing this or figuring out my wifi is busted at this point.

My tablet had a similar problem and I gave up on it, I even sent it in for warranty worked for a couple of months then it went dead... well not exactly, it works perfectly at my work's wifi, other than that it's gone. Heck I even replaced the wifi antenna and not even with the hot spot underneath it it connects to it. That was almost a year and a half ago, since then it just sits there waiting to be thrown out the window...

Note 4 problems with freezing/crashing

I have a sprint note 4. I don't have it activated currently and use it as a tablet of sorts. Recently it's been giving me problems and I've wanted to break it. I got it about 2 years ago, and since then I rooted it, then installed twrp recovery, then flashed custom software. The software I used was called Dr.Ketans I believe, it combined the note 5 and s6 edge plus softwares. It started to crash occasionally so I installed cyanogenmod onto it. It worked for a bit, but now when Turing the device on, it takes like 10-15 minutes to boot up. And it only stays on for 5 minutes before it crashes and freezes. When it does that, the only way I can boot it up again is take the batter out and put it back in a few times because sometimes I get an error message. The error message barely happens but it says something along the line of "cant boot up". If I use twrp, my phone doesn't freeze. I've tried reinstalling the software, I've tried formatting the entire phone and refreshing. Nothing seems to work. I've even tried changing my kernel but I'm not entirely sure what it is, and how it affects the phone. I'm not the smartest with phones, but I'm good with following directions and googling. If anybody can help me I'd greatly appreciate it cause I've been dealing with this issue for 3 months.
Reinstall the original firmware and make sure it doesn't freeze / crash with it and then you can reinstall the custom software. Make sure that you have the required recovery, bootloader, and baseband version to run the newer custom roms. The requirements should be located in the OP.
I appreciate the response. I will try this as soon as possible. Should i use odin to flash or would it be possible to use twrp recovery? Also, what do you mean when you say the requirements are in the OP?
You should use Odin to recover to make sure you have a fresh start.
The requirements of the rom you pick afterwards should be in the OP.

Problem with Lava Iris 870 flashed with MIUI 8.2

Hello everyone.
My girlfriend had been having problems with the installation of Whatsapp since a couple days ago. It told her that it needed to be re-installed, and doing so wouldn't help.
After trying with resetting the phone to factory defaults to no avail, I decided trying to install a custom mod for the phone but I couldn't find any reliable one. I tried with one called MoKee with which not even the home key worked and then I looked for a stock version and found an alleged one in a ad-ridden page. It's supposed to be installed using something called SP Flash Tools, which seems to be made by a chinese company or group, but the image wouldn't flash to the phone because it encountered a 'CHIP Error'.
So far, the only image that seems to be working is one that I found in another unreliable web-page. It is a MIUI distribution supposedly made for this phone, but it won't detect the SIM card in any of the two slots the phone has and it seems like it can't even find the IMEI in either of the two chips I suppose it has for handling the SIM cards, because it keeps popping a message that says something along the lines of "Invalid IMEI".
I'm desperate.
Is it possible to install the necessary drivers for the SIM card chipset on the phone, or do you know about some repository where I could find the stock firmware for it?
Right now, I'd just want the phone to be in operable conditions, Whatsapp issues aside.
For reference, the model on the back of the phone just says "iris 870", and this is the name of the MIUI distribution I downloaded: "Miui_8_For_Lava_iris_870_[wwwromclaimscom].zip"
I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I posted this also on the newbie-friendly section, sorry for the duplicate post.
