Personally,I own nexus 5,nexus 7 and nexus 10. All of them are purchased from taobao.
I've been working in Shanghai for several years. Everyone know the google related service is blocked here.
It is no big deal and I learned how to use VPN. So it is just ok for my nexus 5,7 and 10.
But something went wrong this time and I dont know if it is a problem caused by android 5.x
When I boot up my nexus 9, the system ask me to connect to wifi first and download a new firmeware around 298.4MB.
So I set up the VPN in my wireless router and let nexus 9 connect with it. It almost took me more than 10hrs to finish the
downloading. And thanx god,I'm able to use my nexus 9 now.
But one of my friend is not so lucky. He is also in China and he followed my step to upgrade then he failed.
So I grab his nexus 9 home yesterday and try again. This time it only download 15MB and stopped.
I'm pretty sure the VPN connection is smooth to get on facebook and twitter.
So I'm wondering, is there any way to skip the first upgrade and boot normally?
Then I can setup VPN in the setting or install other VPN apks.
Any opinion is welcome!!
Try wugfresh's Nexus toolkit.
I'm not an expert, but the only thing I can think of is:
You should be able to use fastboot commands in the bootloader, and manually flash your updates.
You'll need to unlock the bootloader first, so I don't know how viable this option is to you, since it requires a tick box in the OS.
Really ****ty spot you're in. You cant get into the os because you can't update, you can't unlock boot loader because you can't get into the os. I was in the same situation yesterday with a new 32 gig. I didn't want to waste time downloading 830 mb at first boot, when I'm just gonna fastboot new images. I didn't try very hard but I couldn't get into the OS. I tried to skip WiFi, wouldn't let me. You can get around the update by not having WiFi connected, but in build.prop you have-
ro.setupwizard.network_required=true
ro.setupwizard.require_network=wifi
No easy way to get around this without root/unlocked bootloader.
I have the exact same problem.... bought off taobao, stuck at update screen on first boot... can't even get into the system. I'm not even sure I can setup vpn on my router because I didn't purchase that service on astrill...
any help? Why won't lollipop let you skip wifi or updates like every other android version ><!!!
yes exactly skip

can't skip, it's there but grayed out
I have encountered the same problem.
I let my Nexus 9 connect to google server with Shadowsocks shared by my PC wthin the same wlan.
Then it went to the "downloading update" page, but had no sign to advance.
Any way to fix it?
I have solved this problem.
Nexus 9 is not well compatible with Shadowsocks Sock5 proxy.
So a program called DeleGate is needed to transfer Sock5 prxoy to a HTTP proxy:

Thus, you may need DeleGate to transfer your VPN proxy to a http proxy.

hello,
i bought the new lenovo ideapad a2107a in germany last week.
unfortunately there is no good support by lenovo until now.
i want to buy the original case shown on lenovo us website but can´t find it on web.
where can i buy it ???
another question is, i read about a build in fm-radio at the tablet, but i can´t find the way to switch it on.
can anybody help me ?
and i don´t understand why there are 2 sim slots for 3g / gsm. is there any telephon function too ?
i hope there is somebody who can help me ?
where can i find a manual and description which shows me all functions ?
thank you and best wishes
herbert
Hi...
I am also looking for that FM Radio but I couldn't find, tried one apk from the web but it doesn't work properly.
one more thing this tablet is able to make phone calls (check youtube) but mine has no phone icon, when I called Lenovo people, they've told that in my country (UAE) Lenovo doesn't have the license for that yet and they will get it once they launch their mobile phones, I tried a third party app it gave some license error.
for online user guide check: download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/ideatab_a2107a_ug/data/EN/index. H T M L
I have this phablet (purchased direct from China).
I have successfully read-back the ROM and am in the process of packaging it for backup purposes using the MTK flash tool.
Additionally I was able to flash a CWR based recovery using MTKdroidtools and successfully flashed gapps. Oddly enough Maps would not install and I had to sideload a recent copy of it. MTKdroidtools root facility also worked without issue.

that's awesome news. I recently bought it myself and have been looking around for a root toolkit.
However, root isn't going to be much helpful without some roms, which i doubt will be available anytime soon.
Lenovo also isn't supporting this tablet so i doubt we'll be able to get past the 4.0 version
---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------
could you attach mtkdroidtools or the link to it?
MTK Droid Tools (can't remember where I found it)
http://www.shellware.com/projects/mtkdroidtools/MTKdroidTools_v228.zip
Here's the CWR variant I found that works (again, can't recall where I found it). Patch it in with MTKDroidTools and you can then safely apply unsigned updates such as gapps. Be sure to back up your stock ROM first. That way when you're done you can reapply Lenovo's recovery using the same procedure you followed for the CWR version.
http://www.shellware.com/projects/mtkdroidtools/recovery.rar
One oddity I've found is that BT and wifi crash if they're both on and active. AVRCP is also a little flakey but I can usually get it to work using the as built music.apk.

Most FM radios are only accessible if you have your headphones plugged in, they use the wire as an antenna. Init a suggestion. Try opening the stock Music app, in the menu.
Lenovo a2107a stock, headphones do not bypass speakers
I bought this tab a couple years ago for my wife to use as a reader. Lately she has been reading an ACTUAL BOOK and leaving the tablet at home. This week, while my kids were on winter break and monopolizing my laptop and other devices, I was using the tablet to watch netflix and stream movies from my WLAN. My youngest pointed out, mid Nightmare on Elm Street, that she could still hear the movie even though I had my headphones plugged in. It was then that I realized that the audio was continuing to play through the external speakers while also playing through the headphones. The rom is stock. I did install the MX player and codec to stream the mp4's, but I have not otherwise monkeyed around with the system.
I used a couple of different sets of wired headphones and tried netflix and youtube, and also manually setting the tablet to silent mode, but none of these things fixed the problem. It would seem to me as if there is a driver missing. I'd like to avoid a factory reset if at all possible, unless it would be a guaranteed fix.
This seems like the type of problem which someone with a moderate understanding of the droid os might be able to solve using just their own knowledge base. I'd appreciate any insights.

OK, this is possibly the weirdest question I'm ever going to ask but let's get to it. Yes this relates to an iPhone but it is primarily an issue with the fact that it has a strange version of android on it and I don't know where else to ask this question. I've checked, it is not a weird version of iOS, it is a fully fledged version of android that just draws resources i.e. pictures, thumbnails, status bar, etc from the iPhone. I'll start with some background information.
OK, so my friend bought this iPhone 4s from another friend whose brother had completely screwed up the phone by modding it with a Chinese/Japanese modified android. My friend thought he could fix it but apparently not so he asked me to fix it for him. I check the settings and the version of android is V2G.12.03.12, I googled it and it came up with a Chinese/Japanese forum for modding iPhones with android, at least that's what it looked like. This mod has removed iPhone DFU and recovery mode, iTunes can no longer interface with the device and the home button now functions as a back button, the app store has been replaced with google play and the apps on the device are android apps, some of them are in Chinese/Japanese which I can't read so I just avoid them. My friend wants me to get rid of whatever version of android this is and replace it with iOS 7.
What I've done so far
Alright, as soon as I got the phone, I thought I should try DFU mode which is like an extreme recovery mode where you can flash different versions of iOS using iTunes but after trying a few times to enter DFU mode, I quickly realised it didn't exist on this phone anymore lol. So I digging in the settings of the device where I figured out that it wasn't just some modified version of iOS that emulates android, I found out that the android version was called V2G.12.03.12 and so I googled it. This was a fruitless exercise as all the results were in a language I can't comprehend. Then I thought why not try and enter recovery mode (android version) but didn't know how that would work with an iPhone so I installed ROM Toolbox Pro which is how I realised that this device wasn't rooted. Soo, since I didn't know how I was going to root it without recovery mode, I thought I'd try some 1-click root methods. I installed Kingo Android ROOT which seemed to be working at first, it was installing the device driver and then I dropped it while attempting to leave my room and when I came back it told me there was no device connected which was a major pain in the arse. However I concluded that the device driver was successfully installed as my computer was now able to enter the internal storage of the iPhone but iTunes still doesn't detect the device. This lead me to believe that the device can't be rooted because of an issue with the android version. So, after discovering this I thought I'd try ABD to try to boot into recover mode but since I've never had to use it before, I have to download it and apparently it comes with the Android SDK bundle. So I was downloading it when all of a sudden, when it reached 479/480 mb, it told me there was a network error, so I thought alright... let's try this again but alas, everything I try to download from that website gives me a network error right before the download is completed.
So at this point, I'm completely at a loss as to what I should do now, I need to find a way to root the device and to enter recovery mode so I can see what I can do in terms of some how flashing iOS 7 on the device. Please help me lol, there is £10 at stake here so help please :laugh:! And a reputation to upkeep . Thanks for any help that can be given. If this question is in the wrong place please help me move it, if this question is not appropriate for this forum could someone direct me to an appropriate forum to ask this on lol.

Have you tried consulting Google on how to reinstall DFU? I heard it is inside the .ipsw file but I'm not sure about how to put it on your device.
Also, try Google Translate for the websites.

Ah, thank you. I wasn't aware you could reinstall DFU, googling it right now. I'll see how it goes in terms of getting it on the device. Thanks
BUMP, I couldn't find any way to reinstall DFU however I found iOS 7.0.4 for the iPhone 4s but I'm not sure how I'm going to install it without being jailbroken or without DFU mode/iTunes. Help please.

Uh, uh, if it was possible for this to be done, it must be possible to reverse it, I'm going to keep trying and it's not my iPhone, it belongs to a friend so I can't just buy a new one lol. And the android isn't in English, no point in keeping it.

Welcome to my tutorial !
You can find others tutorials related to the Cube i6 :
Install windows 10
Install Android 4.4.4 (Stock & RemixOS)
I received the magnificent AllDoCube i6 Air 3G last week, and i've been struggling since to get updates,
firmware flashing and all of that working, I searched the whole web and the drivers/Firmwares are nowhere to find,
but on some chinese proxy-needed sites sometimes, or baidu which is a pain in the a** to download from.
So I decided to share the ways to update this tablet at all costs (heh, no worries, -NORMALLY- it wont brick)
Disclamer: This process might contain ROM hacking, this is for advanced users.
THIS TUTORIAL HAS BEEN TESTED ON i632GB1537XXXXXXX MODEL, AND WORKS ON IT,
WHEREAS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT i632GB1522XXXXXXX MODEL BRICKED UPON DOING IT,
SO PLASE DO IT CAREFULLY, IF THE INSTALL VERSION IS 202 YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE TRIYING AS IT COULD BRICK!
Software included may be subject to copyright.
Flash your device at your own risk. Developer is not responsible for what you do on your device.
What you need:
Cube i6 Air (3G or Wifi)
Flash Drive (256Mo +)
OTG cable
USB Hub (3 Ports recommended)
EFI BIOS Firmware
DOWNLOAD THE FIRMWARE BEFORE STARTING SO EVERYTHING IS AVAILABLE WHEN YOU DO IT
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8YPw4HjmqNCZktOZy1OTEN2ZVE&usp=sharing
Get on the drive, go to your device folder, select the wanted version inside BIOS folder
What to do :
1.) Start by plugging the usb drive into your computer, and format it to FAT32 using any formatting tool
2.) Now you need to uncompress the downloaded firmware :
you will find a "Firmware_X.X.X" folder inside, take all of its content, and extract it to your freshly formatted drive.
here's what looks like the root of your usb:
3.) Your USB Drive is ready, now just plug the OTG cable to your tablet, plug your HUB onto that OTG
and fill it with your keyboard and the USB Drive just created.
4.) Press power button until you see the screen backlight, when you see it repeatidely smash "Esc" key on the connected keyboard.
You will see the bios 6 square configuration screen.
Hit "Boot Manager" and select your USB in the list.
5.) The tablet should now boot from your USB, booting to a UEFI Shell. Depending on your device, it might be either 64 or IA32.
Now you just let startup.nsh script do the firmware flashing init, it should drive you to a flashing BIOS screen.
6.) Follow instructions on screen and let the tool flash your BIOS automatically.
Once done, the tablet will shut down.
Congrats! You successfully updated your BIOS !
It is my first tutorial, i will post some photos of steps in the future so come back, the guide will be better soon !
Regards,
Max.
Hi,
I have bought the Cube i6 Air 3G a week ago and i'm still waiting for it to arrive.
Have you update the win 8.1 to win 10?
Does everything works correctly?
Regards
re
Hi, I successfully updated the BIOS as of now,
I changed the bootloader animation to nexus one on Cube ROM.
I also manager to boot on Android x86 but it had too many drivers issues.
Still, 4.4.4 stock cube is working and i reflashed to a new partition scheme of 9Go
and i'm currently testing some win10 pen drives for install, will keep you updated.
Édit: oh you were asking about thé tablet? Weil jack has default, charging takes hours, glass is plastic, firmware is pain but hell this is a goodamn good tablet for its price !

Max

I achieved installing Win10 x32 Pro on Cube i6 Through hacking WinPE installation environnement, but now i'm struggling finding the drivers. touchscreen, battery and vital things like hd graphics are not working as of now. Will post a tutorial on how to install Win10 in given time when i'll get out of this mess!
My tablet has arrived yesterday.
From what the little i've used it, it has good performance especially in android.
A lot faster compared to my last android tablet (Cube U39GT).
Something i didn't like was the size of the icons and text in android, my next step is to root and change the dpi.
Regarding windows 10, i found in a chinese tablets blog with win 8 and 10 drivers.
I haven't tested it, but as soon as i find it again, i will let you know where to download them from.
You haven't tried the normal win 10 upgrade? From the microsoft icon?

I did not try anything as i like "stock" versions of my windows, but tonight i got it working all the way !
My cube i6 is running perfectly windows 10 and oh my god what a paradise it is ! The tablet experience got way better onto that version.
Can you try to update from the icon you are talking about ? i'd be curious if it works. anyway, i'm currently writing+uploading for the win10
tutorial for this tablet, so you'll be able to flash it late tonight, or tomorrow.
EDIT: The dpi is correct in android, only the status bar icons and some other are not in correct dpi but that is KitKat issue I guess. still interested in resolving that though. I'm currently hacking android lollipop ROM also, i'll keep you tuned on that. For rooting, i used KingRoot, it worked, but after a reboot, it tells me "root" is wrecked, so i guess there is some investigation to do there, but I was mainly focused on getting windows 10 ENGLISH STOCK version running to share it with you guys.
EDIT2: Still uploading, but tutorial is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/guide-how-to-install-windows-10-t3252042 and it should work on any Z37xx powered device. Enjoy !
Hello,
I'm using this tablet from 2 days now. great !
But, i got wifi problem after sleep : wifi chip cut and never found network anymore.
has to reboot, and all goes right.
same in win and android.
Did you hear about this ? many poeple complain about this.
Any trick or advice ? Is this bios correct this ? Is your bios work on i6 3g dual-boot ? (there is 2 bios for dual boot ?...)
Thanks !
Hi,
I've also have the same problem with the wifi.
I usualy disconnect the wifi and reconnect it, but sometimes it doesnt work and have to reboot the tablet.
I've not noticed it in windows but maybe it's because i'm using the tablet a lot more in android.
I've tryed to update to win 10 using the microsoft icon, but i got an error and was unable to complete the upgrade.

Hello, i have such a tablet for now about 6 Months and it is awesome so far (i often use win8.1).
My Tablet has also DUAL Boot with Android 4 and win 8.1 Bing.
I tried to upgrade to win10 but i also got a message that the partition can not be resized by windows. So i cant upgrade to win 10 with the normal tool from microsoft.
Is there any Solution yet to get this to work?
Anyway, i tried to boot from usb (win8.1 / ubuntu / gparted) but it is not working at all. When i try to boot true windows Advanced Boot Options, the BIOS says that there is no USB device.
When i use the EFI Shell to mount the USB Stick i can see that the BIOS has recognized the USB Stick.
I think that is all very strange, but i will try to update the BIOS soon. The serialnumber is not the same as from @stalker2106 but i will try it.
I hope there is a way to get win 10 working, but Ubuntu would be even better for performance.
Greetings from Germany.

Check windows 10 Post, there is no need to update BIOS to fix this error, your USB has to be in GPT partition style, check answer on the other thread
But usually the bios update should work, as it did on my tablet. But why bother taking risk if you can get it working without it
Hi,
I have sucessfully updated to win10
I have bios 203 in my cube and serial i632gb1510xxxxxxxxxxx, does anybody have tried to update to 206 on such setup ?
What are the chances that I will brick my device ?
I have downloaded latest Cube i6 roms from cube site (may 2015) . There are two bios-es which have to be installed in chronological order.
Shall I do it first, and then try to update to 206 ?
Edit: I was not patient and tried it on my own.I have successfully updated bios and tablet has started to both android and windows
I will perform some functional tests afterwards.
Actual steps :
I have first downgraded bios to 201(provided here )
Flashed bios1 from link provided
Flashed bios2 from link provided
Flashed bios 206 from guide in first post
Edit2:
I have tested basic functionalities like : Gyro-sensors, WIFI, GPS, 3G network and yet everything works like charm.
Maybe a placebo, however I have the feel that android runs like two times faster
I do suggest to update the windows, however I take no responsibility if you will brick your device. Even if the setup is like mine, neither if it differs
Regards
Why do you first downgrade to 201?
What do you mean with bios1 and bios2?
Many thanks and question
Hello Stalker,
I am new here and i want to
thank you for the instructions!
I bought a cube i6 from china.
It is the 'i6 air remix',
So it should have only Android on it.
When it arrived. it didn't function.
The only think that happens is booting to theEFI-shell.
I could switch between Android and Windows in the boot settings.
But Android did not boot.
I have updated the bios with your instructions
now firmware 2.0.6 is installed.
But still i can not boot Android.
I found a few flash tools and android for the cube i6 .
But i don’t know what is the right version flash tool I have to use.
Maybe you have advise or the right android and flash tool in your google drive download area?
Kind regards and many thanks in advance.

I am new here and i want to
thank you for the instructions!
I bought a cube i6 from china.
It is the 'i6 air remix',
So it should have only Android on it.
When it arrived. it didn't function.
The only think that happens is booting to theEFI-shell.
I could switch between Android and Windows in the boot settings.
But Android did not boot.
I have updated the bios with your instructions
now firmware 2.0.6 is installed.
But still i can not boot Android.
I found a few flash tools and android for the cube i6 .
But i don’t know what is the right version flash tool I have to use.
Maybe you have advise or the right android and flash tool in your google drive download area?
Kind regards and many thanks in advance.

The truth is, the 206 BIOS provided is hacked off i6 remix repository from cube, so i guess there is no big deal flashing it on your device as it works on regular i6.
Moreover, you can use any version of the flash tool as long as you flash a correct rom for your device, which i would suggest to download from official cube repository or geekbuying or so.
Android Geecbuying
Hello Stalker,
Ok. Thank you!
I will try Geecbuying.
Hopefully the windows drivers will function.
There isn't a way to flash from USB I suppose?
Greetings
Hi, well, actually, you should flash over USB with à windows computer. MFT by Intel is recommended. I shall make some tutorial about Android installation and partition resizing.
flash and resize partitions
That is super. When you want to do so.
I was indeed wondering or there would be one android partition on the tablet or two partitions (one for android, one for windows).
I also questioned myself how to see that there are partitions.
In earlier times when I was working with a pc, i use F-disk or partition-magic for this kind of work.
But on the tablet I do not have a clue...
So if you could make me wiser on this, I would be very thankful.
Maybe you could boot on some gparted liveusb? Or inside efi shell some commands could help

Why do you first downgrade to 201?
What do you mean with bios1 and bios2?

no particular reason, I just wanted to know, which version of bios is in the latest firmware provided by geekbuying
Additional condition in my decision mechanism was that my serial did not match mentioned ones in w10 thread from stalker, so somehow I have used sleepy sloopy logic and tried to minimalize the risk (I know it have no rational reason and logic behind it at all)
Therefore, I tried the ones from geekbuying repository, to be sure to have latest provided from "official source".
greetings

Ok thanks for the answer! So i can upgrade from 203 at 206 at one part or what do you think?
My Nexus 6 has presented me with an interesting challenge. During my attempts/process to root my phone, inevitably, one must reboot your phone. And as the reboot takes place the phone always goes into the "Charge" mode and not the "File Transfer" mode that the phone was in as it began the root process. I'm at a cross in the road because I cannot complete the root process. The only option that has presented itself to me is to restart the phone. And while my phone works properly, it halts the root process. I have just purchased another USB cable that charges and transfers data/syncs to cover that question. Any hints would be appreciated. I have had this phone unlocked using Chainfire's Nexus Root Toolkit a while back. It worked flawlessly. I've not really been interested in a custom ROM/Kernel etc. but in continuing to research this area. I'd like to try and unlock then root the phone again. Any hints would be appreciated
If your phone got the January update from Google, they patched a ton of the "exploits" that previously were/can be used to root Android devices. These were pushed out to the Nexus line by Google and made available for OTA by wireless vendors otherwise. This could be the issue you're running into now. If you haven't updated, then I think you just may need to find an alternative rooting method, as the one you tried may not be 100% compatible or is missing some sort of command to direct the device to go into file transfer/download mode.

I really appreciate your perspective. And without a doubt I'll look around and see where this goes. Just reading about all the work that has taken place since I purchased the phone, the landscape is a lot more enticing.
I'll try to get as straight tot he point as possible.
Been using my Mobile one touch pix 7 for a little over a year and always installed Ota updates. Well I rooted the tablet not too long ago, forgot which method I used, but was working fine.
an Ota update came through and totally forgot it was rooted, and tried to install it, at which point the whole tablet got bricked.
It ended up in recovery, and I selected due to failure, to format and wipe the data.
Anyhow, The unit will stay at the boot screen for a while then show command error and then show the recovery screen, my only options are:
reboot
update from sd card
update via adb
update via memory
reboot Bootloader
power off
Well I've tried updating by downloading system images via adb, they return a verification error.
I've tried using adb side load to try to install an Ota update file I found for it, returns a verification error.
I cannot get into download mode, fast boot mode I think does not work as windows reports 3 android devices, but the mobile update software cannot see anything, and fast boot gets stuck at waiting for devices.
I suspect the tablet is for lack of a better description totally bricked and just a paperweight.
I am at a loss of what to try from this point. I'm sure wiping the data after the failed update killed it completely but not sure.
Anyone have any guidance here? I've downloaded a few images from the web I found that say they are for this tablet model, but still getting verification error.
Is there any flashing software I can get that may be able to access the tablet or can I copy a file to the scared and have it try to run an update from there. I don't care if it is rooted or not, just want to get it usable again.
I can run Mac OS, windows 10, windows 7, windows xp, or even have no issue getting a linux version going, whatever will work best for this I can use it. windows 10 I was able to manually add the drivers but windows 7 is not letting me do it the same way. I can connect via adb sideload only, no other adb functions seem to work.
I'm not a total news when it comes to custom rooms, as I have done it with another tablet, and an android car radio, but those were pretty straight forward and bootable so never ran into a brick issue yet.
I have a feeling this is toast and I hope that is not the case.
If anyone here can help out, I would appreciate it.
Thanks again....
Need help here to. Been searching with no luck. Any my issue is.
Rooted kingroot, flashed twrp with flashify and now I'm stuck on twrp. Been searching for any custom stock rom. I forgot to unlock the bootloader but I did enable usb debugging (i didn't see any oem options).
Any k 28532Jonsunf of help would be greatly appreciated.
This sorta happen to me. I rooted pixi 7 with kingroot, and was able to delete a lot of bloatware. However, when I was using lucky patcher it pretty much messed up the play store. But it was fine. I could download stuff through the Internet. But sooner or later I needed to fix it. Tryed a lot of ways but it didn't help. So I factory reset the tabletand now im stuck at the Setup Wizard. It just won't let me let me through. I thought its was over, but then I get a message saying there is an update available. So I download it and installed it. But all I get at the end is error. So now I need to flash it with stock. I tried the img. too, but it doesnt show up in the recover menu. If you found a solution please tell me
Can anyoonneee help me find a good Custom Rom for the alcatel one touch pixi 7 (9006W)? Sucks that there's not much info for this device (probably cause the device sucks lol) I'm running on lollipop 5.0.2 and am not able to get OTA update due to rooting. Unrooting didn't help. It seems only answer is custom rom but don't want to risk bricking it as I don't have a computer at home. Also, I am new to this so if anyone can share some insight, I'd be eternally grateful
P.s
It's a t mobile device but I only use it on wifi.
Am using kingroot.
Have never installed a custom rom
****ing device is 8 gigs. 1 gig Ram.
Is it possible to get Nougat?
Help meeee lol
