[Q] Bricked Lenovo TAB 2 A7 10F - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I bought lenovo tab 2 A7-10f for my brothers birthday.
After one week of using it he brought it back to me with words: I broke it.
He rooted (Kingo software) the Android system and than he cleaned some system apps which caused the crash of the system.
Now when I start it the boot stops in lenovo welcome animation and I can't get to boot mode anymore (pushing volume and start button) the system freeze in welcome screen with lenovo and android logo - no martian.
When I tried to connect by ADB the device appeared to be "offline" and I can't reach it.
Can you help me, please?

You need lenovo flash tool and latest rom. T2-A7-10F_USR_S041_150112_ROW or another.
power off your tablet.
push volume down and connect with your computer.
tablet will start and show he is charching.
Start flash tool. load the scatter file. In above rom it is : MT8127_Android_scatter.txt
once loaded push download.
some files will go to your tablet. If flash tool quickly stops , power off your tablet, but leave the usb cable.
Once powerd off , flash tool will continue.
when het is finished , you will see this on your computer.
disconect and restart tablet.

2nd possibility : power off you tablet
hold 3 buttons. Poweron , + and -
when tablet vibrates , release powerbutton but do not release + and - button
now your tab will start in recovery. here the tab says : no command and you push the powerbutton to see the menu.
there you can choose : wipe data/factory reset
after reset choose to reboot.
if this factory reset does not restore you tab , you must flash the rom.
choosing with keys :
with - button you go down
with +button you select
with power button menu will show

Can someone help me with a link to the stock rom ?

Try SAMmobile.com (you will have to make a free account) when you have made your account click the firmware button at the top of the screen then type in your phone model number. For example SM-G361F the choose your country. Then in the filter box seach your network provider ie. O2 then click download. Once you have downloaded it unzip the file in a folder. Boot your phone into odin/download mode. Click BL or AP it dosent really matter then choose your file and wait for the blue bar on your phone to finish. Then it should restart
And should be stock rom. If your brick your device please note you have full responsibilty over your device. If you do mess up and brick your device just repeat the steps above.

Try resetting the phone from recovery.
Enter into recovery(use possible combinations of power+vol up or power+vol down or power+vol up+vol down) and factory reset the phone. This might help.

That's amusing. they have a lenovo tablet and you're telling them to look for their stock firmware on a site for samsung devices and to restore the device with a program that is made for samsung devices, lol.

HERE YOU GO
I am not sure how this works but this is the downloable file any tablet tab 2 A7 10F gets when it's going to upgrade from kitkat 4.4 to lollipop 5.0 so I guess this will work on any of your tablets. This versión is supposed to be for latinamerica but It holds many languagues if any of you need others than Spanish or English.

[Q] flashing huawei C8511

how to flash huawei C8511 (mts mtag) if I by chance brick it during rooting?
I've tried z4root and the procedures from this forum for my phone MTS Mtag (Re-branded Huawei C8511 - India), but unfortunately it failed. Now I realize that, z4root v 1.3 can not root Android 2.2.2.
Waiting for an update of z4root.
SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse
i tried google "SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse.zip"
& it works & can be unrooted if required
Me too finally rooted my MTS Mtag (Huawei C8511)
Me too finally rooted my MTS Mtag (Huawei C8511) with SuperOneClickv2.3.3 from the Developer Site ShortFuse.Org.
I Followed these steps....
(1) Downloaded the latest version (on 5 May 2012) SuperOneClickv2.3.3 from the developer website ShortFuse.Org
(2) Unzipped the file downloaded in PC
(3) Connected my phone (I've already installed the essential drivers of my phone and using the "Hi Suite"(its a PC Suite) provided by Huawei)

RE: Flashing Huawei C8511
To answer the original question
Its very easy lol
Download the firmware here - C8511 V100R001C96B638
Then extract to a folder of your choice.
Copy the 'dload' folder to the root of your SD Card.
Turn your phone off completely (I always recommend removing the battery for 30 seconds or so)
Press your volume up and volume down keys and hold, then the power key and hold.
Your phone should display the update screen - see here - Step 8.
Leave it to finish and restart (may restart twice so don't worry lol)
Your phone should now be restored to when you started messing with it
BTW - You will need to re-root and this will delete EVERYTHING so only use if you've bricked it or royally screwed it up
I rooted this phone and removed all carrierware. I am proud to say I am the first guy to modify this phone and start 1x/Evdo on this phone. I somehow cannot make it to remove carrier name. Tried a lots in framework-res.apk but phone firmware is getting crashed and re-install is mandatory. Huawei c8511 is a low activity unrecognized device, we cannot expect anyone to help.
I have searched and found out over 100 custom roms for MTS Mtag-301 (known as Huawei C8500s in China). Was trying hard to flash recovery to swap custom roms. Got a recovery tool which can flash recovery to Huawei C8511 in few seconds. The steps are given below.
1. Download CWM Recovery C8500s 4.0.1.5 (English)
2. Extract the contents to any folder anywhere.
3. Switch off your phone and restart to go to fastboot mode. Press power+volume down keys continously for 10 seconds till the boot logo stays continously.
4. Open the extracted folder and run recovery.bat (batch file), this process will take a max 3 secs and the handset will reboot, let it settle down.
5. Again switch off and press power+volume up keys together and cwm recovery menu should appear.
6. Comming soon.. 2.3.5 and 4.0.3 versions for MTS Mtag 3.1 (Huawei C8511)

The one single rooting application for all Huawei phones and other devices. It is a chinese apk for those who can use it. I take no credits for this.

My Smart Tab 3 is stuck at the boot-up screen.
I found this link http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f824/how-karbonn-st3-flash-1697678/
I downloaded both ROM and Flashing tool but it did not help:
1. I don't know how to bring ST-3 in download mode (I tried Volume - and power)
2. The Driver availabe at the link is also not getting installed, it shows device unrecognised.
Try this

It is because livesuit needs tab to be in download mode
Unlike samsung, we go to download mode by pressing vol- +menu + power,
In tab,
1 switch tab 3 off
2 press volume down (or up....I dont exactly remember..try both)
3 keep pressing and put the usb in
4 press power repeatedly untill Tab gets detected via LiveSuit
Also I would ask u not to update to jelly bean as I just updated and Its too buggy... lags too much and all
In case u get image of Stock ICS 4.0.4, Please put the link here!
Im in a bad need of it
Hit thanks
another easy option is to take it to service centre,, they'll restore and then just install SU.

what can i do with this Chinese Tablet?

i just bought a "Dragon Touch M7" from ebay. It uses a Mediatek MT8127 chipset. It comes with KitKat. The manufacturer's website (tabletsexpress.com) has the download links for FIRMWARE file for 5.0 Lollipop and the SP Flash tool for it. I downloaded the 5.0 firmware and flash tool.. however, I cant get into download mode on the tablet because the tablet doesnt have any buttons. no home button no volume buttons. I tried "adb reboot download" command but it just reboots the tablet. When I type in reboot recovery I can get into some stock recovery mode but i cant move up and down because my tablet has no volume buttons. All i can do is hold down power and turn it off. Pressing the power button hides the choices of "Reboot now; install from sdcard; install from" .. etc... is recovery mode the same thing as download mode?? if so, nothing happens when i try to flash the firmware.
I have rooted and flashed custom ROMs with samsung galaxys in the past so I do have some experince with this kind of stuff.
Wow this is mind puzzling perhaps you need to google this tablet via Chinese websites and use Google Translate. You need to get the exact firmware for the tablet to power-up.

[Guide/tutorial] Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VE/LTE/G531F from stock to custom ROM

[Guide/tutorial] Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VELTE/G531F from stock to custom ROM
[Guide/tutorial] Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VELTE/G531F/grandprimevelte from stock to custom ROM
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VE/LTE/531F to a powerful one with a custom Android 5.1.1.
Make sure your phone is SM-G531F before going further : in Android, go to Settings -> About -> Check model is G-531F.
AND note down the baseband version in a safe place (in case of device brick) : G531FXXU1APG2 in my case.
If not, quit this tutorial.
### Phone is reset and you can't access Android ? Shutdown phone, start in Recovery Mode (Hold Power + Home + Volume+) until you see Samsung logo and release buttons.
### In the recovery, on the 2nd line, look at the right part of the string after the . : G531FXXU1APG2 in my case, the first letters show G531F. It's good.
### AND note down the baseband version in a safe place (in case of device brick) : G531FXXU1APG2 in my case.
### If it is another model, quit this tutorial.
CHANGELOG ------------------------

3ter) Factory reset is not enough to remove FRP Lock
Go to SamMobile.com and create an account (Join button): https://www.sammobile.com/join/
Select the FREE join, complete registration.
Confirm registration by clicking on the verification email.
Now visite this page : https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand-prime/SM-G531F/
Select your corresponding country.
Now there are many versions for your country : look in the PDA column for the ones corresponding to your Baseband version you noted earlier (G531FXXU1APG2 in my case).
Preferably chose the one independant from a telecom operator, click on this line.
Then download the firmware, it's huge so be patient.
You then have a zip file on your PC. Unzip it 1 time (using 7-zip or other tool) to keep the file named like : G531FXXU1APG2_G531FOXX1APG2_G531FXXU1APG2_HOME.tar.md5
Start phone in recovery mode again, connect it to PC and Launch Odin.exe.
In AP, set this brand new ".tar.md5".
Wait for Odin to control md5 signature.
Then flash it. Be patient, all the partitions of the phone are being reset.
When Odin green success message appears, disconnect from PC, shut phone down by holding Power + Home + Volume-.
Now start phone in Download mode right away, FRP Lock line should be OFF.
Go back to step 3) at this line : "Connect phone in USB, wait for bootloader drivers installation.".

then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System.
Wait for the phone to boot during 10 minutes.
5) ROOT ACCESS
The ROM has SuperSU preinstalled so no extra work to do.
6) CALIBRATE BATTERY
In Google Play Store, download App Battery Calibration (from IMobS Ltd).
Launch the App.
Confirm root acces.
Plug tab and wait till charge hits 100%, then hit BATTERY CALIBRATION and unplug it.
You can use GPS Status & Toolbox app for faster GPS fix.
7) OBTAIN GOOGLE MOBILE SERVICES (GMS) CERTIFICATION
Google now restricts Google Play and Google apps access to certificated devices. Since you have a custom ROM, you are banned.
We now need to subscribe for the Google Play Certification.
In Android, go to Settings -> Security and activate the Unknow sources
Now use the built in File explorer app to install the deviceID app from you microSD card.
Install it, launch it.
Tap on the Google Service Framework (GSF) line, then tap on the COPY button.
In your Android webbrowser, go to : https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
Connect to Google using your Google/Android account.
In the input field of the page, paste the 16 digits code.
Click on the Save button, a success message confirms your device is Certified.
Do I need to re-certify it ?
"Your device’s GSF ID is reset every time your device is factory reset (or when you wipe the GSF app itself) since it is stored in your data partition, so you must re-register your GSF ID every time you perform either of these actions."
More info here : https://lineageos.org/Google-Play-Certification/

Hi,
Sincerely I didn't try to access recovery again.
At least you can log to a phone where you don't know the original owner.

Oooooops.
LineaOS 13 is available but marked as unstable : https://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development/lineageos-13-0-grand-prime-velte-t3874411
However users say it is pretty stable for a daily usage.
Read carefully the manual.

Latest Official Firmware with root (tutos available)
Optimized it myself by removing all crappy software pre-installed and some unnecessary services
Set Nova Launcher as default since TouchWiz is laggy asf
Updated
Hello there, I found 4 working custom roms for sm-g531f. This rom is great.

Hi, Touchwiz is proprietary.
You can try Lawnchair or Nova launcher.

Awesome work.

Galaxy A10s shuts down after update is 99% complete

Hello everyone,
I searched a lot for my problem but couldn't find any solution so I decided to post here...
I tried to update my mothers Galaxy A10s officially from the settings but after restarting and booting to blue screen which it shows percentage of installing update , install goes until 99% then it shuts down and doesn't boot up when I hold power button , I tried every combination like power + volume down or volume down then power button and etc. only the power button + volume up works which it boots the installing screen and same happens , 99% and shuts down!
I installed samsung usb driver and odin then I connected the phone holding volume up and down , the download screen for firmware shows up successfully , but here is my question , is there any way that I can update the phone without losing data on it? I'm pretty sure that the downloaded update on phone is corrupt , is there any way to replace it from computer and let it update normally?
data on the phone are really important to my mother and if I flash the phone , they are lost! so please let me know if there is any way to fix this issue , thanks
hi i encountered exactly this same issue, could you elaborate a bit more how to get the download screen for firmware? while i'm worried about data loss as well, i rather have a working phone.

First download your phones USB driver , you can simply search Samsung Galaxy A10s USB driver in google ,
To make sure your phone is connected to your pc correctly you can also download Odin ,
Connect your phone to you PC while holding Volume up + Volume down at the same time , it should boot up to Download screen asking you to continue or restast by volume up and down ,
As I found other ppl in other threads in this forum also having same issue in recent days , seems the update package from samsung was corrupt and there is no samsung tech support in my area
yeah same here no samsung tech support as far as i know
thanks
the device is also not my device and not in my possesion so i'll need to pass along the information to a less tech savy person. i hope i don't send the wrong links

Thanks for your help , yeah I know how to flash the device , but this was really strange happening since we did official samsung update and broke the firmware so we weren't prepared to get backup first since they are legit updates and we put our trust in samsung and their testing before releasing updates , now I know they have really poor testing on their softwares before release , I can flash but it will delete all the data and pictures on my mothers phone ....
Hi all,

I just found the solution and fixed it! , no data is corrupt and its working like a charm.
To fix follow these instructions:
1. First download your phone firmware (
Download A10S Firmware Binary 5 SM-A107F https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A107F
SM-A107M https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A107M )
*Note: Find your own phones build number , there is no way to find out just to try one of them and see if you get an error or not, if you get the error you have downloaded the wrong firmware and it will show you the correct build number in download mode. (Their partition table size is also different)
2. Download pit file from this link: https://gsm-flash.com/samsung-galaxy-a10s-pit-file-download-a107/
(A107M or A107F)
3. Load onto odin BL, AP, CP, HOME_CSC (*ITS IMPORTANT TO SELECT HOME_CSC NOT CSC OTHERWISE YOUR DATA WILL BE LOST*)
4. In Pit tab , attach the pit file you just downloaded from the link above. next make sure in option tab , re.partition check box is checked.
5. HOLD VOLUME + & - TOGETHER AND PLUG IN USB CABLE CONNECT TO YOUR PC DOWNLOAD MODE WILL COME UP VOLUME UP TO CONTINUE AND ID COM PORT WILL BE ADDED ON ODIN
6. Press Start and Flash
Enjoy!
* My phone version was A107F. and build number A107FXXU8CUG1

Encountering problems when doing an OTA update is *very* common - on ALL models. It doesn't mean that the update wasn't tested, and it doesn't mean that every single user is going to get the same issue. It just happens because technology isn't perfect. That's why it's your responsibility to keep your data backed up at all times
