[Q] IBM Lenovo IdeaPad A2107A-H Update question. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone please tell me if installing this OTA firmware update on my rooted IdeaPad will cause any issues such as removing ROM Manager and my root etc?
I have included the update zip if anyone want's to inspect it. The file is on 4 Shared which I find has the least crap of all the free file hosting websites. You will need to register first but it is worth doing. Use the 'Download' button ABOVE the blue 'Priority Download' button.
Thanks.

Uh Oh!
I was too impatient to wait for an answer so I did the update and lost root!
I managed to restore it OK with the help of a download called 'A2107A Tool Set.7z' uploaded by the helpful person below!

If you have a nandroid back up of your phone, just restore that. Even if it is old, it doesn't matter. You can also try to restore the factory firmware and then apply the OTA update. This is done differently depending on the phone, but usually there are instructions for it on the manufacturer's website or if you are lucky the manufacturer has software designed to do this from your PC.

yeah i dont have a back up & zte is a fairly new company I'm assuming because I couldn't find anything on their website. But I have cwm & my phones rooted so couldn't I just go ahead and flash the stock ROM if someone could help me out with that.

[Q] Archos 101b Platinum rooting

Greetings, I have a Archos 101b platinum tablet running kitkat and I have been searching around the internet but I just can't seem to find anything about rooting for my tablet.
I would really love to root it and make it possible for apps/games being installed on the SDcard and if possible get an adblock on it. but to do such things I seem to need root access but the amount of information on how to do it for this tablet is so minimal(None) it's driving me crazy.
If anybody is able to help me with this I would really appreciate it.
Extra info:
Android version: 4.2.2
Firmware version: 4.6
Kernel version: 3.3.0
Need Root
Really need helpon this topic guys!
I'm also trying to gain root (even if just temporary) on a 101b platinum, just to remove the google system/app guff.
I assume this is a Generation 10 tablet since it follows "GEN10 TABLETS" in the drop down list for documentation on archos's website.
What I found so far is;
To get to USB debugging you have to press Settings > About > Build, several times to get Developer options, which seems paranoid since ADB alone is nightmare to install and use.
adb root, throws an error about not allowed in production builds.
tried installing the SDE, but it seems the recovery firmware update only accepts ZIP files, so I tried zipping up the AOS file, but the update just errors with "wrong footer".
Tried the Paul/Modoco Gen9 root, but the /data/local folder is locked from user access afaics.
I'm thinking either forcing the SDE on somehow or a firmware mod is the direct solution to root, but I'd ideally like a less destructive version of modding.
Update:
Tried iRoot (formerly vRoot) and Kingo ROOT without any success.
Seems Kingo ROOT goes through known exploits to, I'm suspecting it's been locked down in newer Kitkat.
I doubt a patched firmware will be around until Archos issue a stock one (it's currently missing from the list)
Quick post;
I've noticed a few other people have had the Kingo ROOT crash the boot process on the Archos, and think it's bricked. It's not, if your tablet (or nearly any new consumer electronics) refuses to shutdown for any reason, press and hold the power button until the device powers off. I thought it was common knowledge, but it seems not.
qUE
I have the issue from KingoRoot that everytime I boot up the tablet starts from initial setup so I have to set it up every single time it is switched off.

Hi guys,

[Q] Help with Coolpad arise(5560s) ota update

I have three of these phones through Kroger iwireless. One of them is unactivated, the other received the ota update and flashed no problem, the last one I deferred the update until later, but now when I try to update through the menu the update screen just pops up a grey box and nothing happens. The device will not download the update and I can't figure out how to get it to behave. I've tried to wipe the cache to no avail. Google searches and looking at the manufacturers website have not led me to the update.zip so I was hoping someone might have been able to get their hands on it so I can just try to flash it from the sd card. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
I think i have the update file. Are you talking about the 3mb one?

I am uncertain about the size of the file. As of right now the phone with the fault has not been able to download the file and my subsequent search of the filesystem of the phone that was successfully updated turned up nothing. I'd be willing to check it out if you're not apposed to sending it to me. Please PM me if you are ok with that.
Thanks!

Steady green flashing light on coolpad arise 5560s
Would I be out-of-place looking for a "solution" at this thread? If so, would you tell me what sub forum this question should be in. Have 2 Coolpad phones (#1 Coolpad 3300a/Kk 4.4.4 #2 Coolpad 5560a/Kk 4.2.2) both of which are "not recognized" by Windows 10/7. Cannot find where to "activate" MTP/PTP. I can charge phones outside of comp., but simply cannot get them to "open" thus being able to transfer files (pics/music). Can someone H-E-L-P.
Thanx:
Rick
I also need zip file. I tried to ota update now it only boots to limited recovery and gives error message

Europe HTC ONE M9 need urgent help

Solved
Nikolay82 said:
Hello. I am fairly new to the XDA forums and I would like to say hello to everyone.
I am looking for someone to help me with the following problem.
I flashed CID to take in any RUU. I've tried many even the USA T-mobile. It worked but had problems using mobile data. Now I use stock european one where version is:1.32.401.17
RUU_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.17_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_429340_signed_.exe
. I got this version through official RUU. Device is currently S-OFF rooted and has twrp on it.
But now problems are here. I am aware european models got the 5.1 OTA update and I do have it downloaded.
File Says:
OTA_HIMA_UHL_L51_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.1-1.40.401.8_release_444119.zip
Now when I try to update OTA through twrp it doesnt let me. Says something about Err_message. That being said, sideload wont work either. Now my question is, how do I get the OTA to my device? Note; when checking for updates via settings in the phone it says no updates available, regardless of updated airing for a while now. Now i wonder if can update from :1.32.401.17 to 2.10.401.1 with OTA or do I need to update first to 1.40.401.8 (I have 1.40.401.8 flash file).
Please if someone can help me I would thankful. Thanks.

OTAs can only be used with the stock recovery. I don't recommend doing a stock OTA if you have modded parts of the system. Better to flash a rom through TWRP. You might need to update the firmware as well.
Are you referring to 0PJAMIG*.zip file? in that case i have them plenty and one I need that matches my phone is like missing some files in the zip. Sadly, I can't post the link yet.
Let me explain this better please:
1. I do have RUUs,; RUU_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.17_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_429340_signed_2_4
2. I do have 0PJAIMG Files as well: 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.8_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_425571_signed_Hboot.zip
3. And I believe I have proper firmware and recoveries for said 0PJAIMG. I have every one of them downloaded for gradual update.
Problem is; I don't have the automatic RUU for version 1.32.401.8, the exe stuff. And I am having hard time installing the 0PJAIMG file on the phone because it gives errors and missing files inside from the looks.
File size of 0PJAIMG is 2gb but content withing the zip is barely 40mb but it says 2gb...
If I am able to get everything related with 1.32.401.8 I could most likely do the all process till latest update.
I am aware I can't post links but for this sake I would like to post it like this: tinyurl[dot]com/m9roms
Just replace "[dot]" with "."
moderator can remove the link however but I need urgent help. If someone can guide me what to I would appreciate it.

Expert Help Really Needed Please Guys

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum, and in need of your expert skills.
A good friend of mine has given me their Tablet to try and fix.
Hannspree SN14T71.
The tablet had to be factory reset and ever since that was done, we can't get google play to work. looking into this more and via the Manufacture website there is an update that can be installed on the device. i have downloaded the update.img file from their site and attempted to install it by simply copying the image to the device and rebooting. this obviously didn't work. i then tried to force the update via the recovery console for the android device. again the .img file wasn't found (although its there). again i tried to copy the file into a folder (OTA folder) to see if it picked this up. again failed as it couldn't see the file. giving up I looked at the "about device" and a error flagged up..
"invalid ROM ID (Hannstar 133-europe-1.1.4)!"
I i have very little if any knowledge of OTA Rom files, updating, installing etc. and looking to you experts in hope i can get this puppy back up and running. the system details are below.. (i hope this is of some help). is there another compatible OTA ROM that can be used? is there a set by step guide on installing this? or even a more up to date stock ROM for the device? I've really hit a brick wall with this and getting help from the manufacture is like getting blood out of a stone.
I would appreciate anyone's help right now. thanks in advance guys. really appreciate any help you can give.
