I have a Lenovo tab 2 a10-70f. Last night I rooted it and then stupidly decided to accept an update for it. I am now soft bricked. I can boot to the stock recovery but that is it. I am hoping someone has a stock image or something to get me back to where I was before.
Thank you

Hi,
You can also download rom on russian lenovo forum. I'm new on xda forum so i can't post url link for the moment.
In order to flash rom, you need SP flash tool v5.1504. Higher version doesn't work, i don't know why...
You will find rom URL with "Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 прошивка A10-70L_S018_150423_ROW" in google. it worked for me.
So apparently none of those sites work
After digging around for five hours for a download link, all I found was nothing but verifications for Chinese websites that are impossible to get through
Re: After going through a bunch load of Chinese Websites to find a login to bypass baidu what I found was to link it through weibo.com

Hello,
You should use russian version because chinese version has many useless app and google apps are not installed.
Nor the chineese nor the rusian websides work
Not possible to download files from there exept maybe if you are from china or russia.
This is tragic really that piece of **** got bricked with a root and an update and there is no way to unbrick it.
Gonna break it down return it and get my money back.

Found this link to the full lollipop OTA file. Installs with stock recovery.
This should fix a soft bricked Lenovo Tab 2:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059059743
bricked tab cleared
Just cleared my bricked a7600 which got bricked when I ran a small update. Basically it got stuck on a loop between the splash screen and the no command screen. Plugging the tablet into the computer gave an audio indication it was seeing it but the drivers would not load up and sp flash tool would not work because the tab would not shut off properly. Finally cracked it with the reset button.
Steps are these:- Run Spflash as normal ie load firmware and scatter files, hit download and when that has completed hold down the reset switch and plug in the usb lead. Release reset switch . In my case the upgrade to tablet started immediately and completed successfully.
I suspect that the problem was caused by Kingroot as other people seem to have had problems with it.

Well after I rooted my tab ,:silly: the exact same tab you have I stupidly decided to update it as well it said installation aborted ! I was running KitKat then.Well I went to the XDA forums and found :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-lenovo-tab-2-a10-70-root-t3279322
All you need to do is scroll down til you find Flash Stock ROM with spft(sp flash tool) and do the steps it says there!!
You obviously might have done this before because i posted this like 2 years later!

Hello,
Recently I got a Samsung Galaxy S2, although I bought it in China. So the firmware I have on it (ZCKG4) is the default firmware giving me Chinese apps and localized settings.
This shouldn't be a problem, although I can't put in Google accounts so, I figured I need to change the firmware some how.
First off is this possible?
If so how?
Thanks.
Just download any firmware and flash it via Odin, simple. You can get the firmwares from here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
OR
www.samfirmware.com
Regards.
Hi,
I just tried to update my ZCKG4 firmware to XWKF3 but with no luck. The Chinese version seems to lock-up if you do this. You will get a brick every time. I managed to get back to ZNKG5 (no ZCKG4 available).
How to get around this? Will rooting help?
It doesn't brick, it just boot loops. This is normal.
Normally when you crossflash to another firmware, it gets stuck on the Samsung Logo, and loops.
If you are using stock firmware of another country. Just do the following.
1) Turn off the phone
2) Goto Recovery mode (Power + Volume Up + Home)
3) In SAMSUNG's recovery, factory reset it. (Wipe DATA+CACHE)
4) Reboot.
If should work after that.
If you are using 3rd party kernel, which has Clockwork Recovery built in, you cannot use that to erase userdata+cache to factory reset as it will cause boot loop again.
Some Advise:
Always make sure your computer is not having problems before flashing. Run memtest86 to make sure RAM data is not getting corrupted.
Instead of downloading stock ROM from forums, you can download official stock rom using fus downloader
When using ODIN, never repartition, unless you know what it is for.
Hello,
Thanks for the replies, although I am still having trouble.
So I downloaded another firmware and used Odin to install it. Although each time it arrives at failure and either makes the device become corrupted (Although it can be fixed by rooting it) or nothing happens.
So I've found I can root the device fine, although every time I attempt to install another firmware nothing happens and I can't install it.
I've been looking on the forums and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192575 and apparently the Chinese SGS2 firmware uses a different format?
Could someone confirm this as at the moment I'm pulling hair out by the minute trying to get the Android Market to appear as well as be able to put in my Google Account details.
Please help
Thanks.
Hi
any help in this case?
i have same problem and do not know how to solve it.
BR/Artur
DUDE!!!
I think i got some good news.
I have the same problem with my new S2 bought in China, no Android market. I've been searching all around the web to try to fix it.
It is still not working for me, but i got a little bit farther though.
I find the hint here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351283
So what i did and what you can try is:
1) Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk
This seems to be the issue, as when you install it you can see the permissions Google requires, and pretty much says the can access ALL the data in your phone. (It would explain the censorship)
2) Install Android Market with any .apk you can find
3) Launch Android Market
The change for me is i can now input my account login. But it still fails connecting to google to actually login. Maybe because i'm still in china and it blocks the connection.
Could any one try this outside china and tell me if it works?
Cheers
Hi XDA,

Thanks! I've been trying to understand how android devices work since this is my first one and was about to ask you how you have managed to restore your phone after your little accident with it not booting.
Now I read the you have managed to root it!
My main objective is to update some custpack applications with newer versions and remove others. I'll wait for your youtube tutorial.
By the way, I just came across a link to the kernel sources from Alcatel:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/
I got it from another thread here at xda and it was nice to find out that the Vodafone Smart II is there!

The tutorial is now available on Youtube under the title How to root Vodafone Smart 2 II it's Published on 17 Jun 2012 by bassalh2025.
XDA would NOT let me to post outside links cause I have less than 10 posts.
To restore it Boot into recovery then choose backup & restore It's an easy process anyway. I suggest to make a backup first just in case if you have an accident like I did with Marinia ROM then it can solve the problem in the future cause as far as I know there is no ROMs available yet for Vodafone smart 2
Splendid! After rooting it I have already managed to update Gmail, Twitter, Facebook and OfficeSuite without wasting precious memory. I simply replaced the /custpack/app versions with the new ones, reboot, et voilá!
Thanks for the root method!
Hello,
Can you please explain how to recover if phone it is stuck on boot ?
Now just Android image it is displayed on phone and can't enter to boot menu with Power ON + Volume UP buttons.
I jut tried to make backup with CWM got error and now phone it is stuck on boot.
If I connect to USB on PC it prompt for driver but can't find yet any compatible to try fastboot.
thank you.

Hello,
I have the same problem aswell, do you know exactly the cause of your issue? i think mine is that i used SUPERRECOVERY (a program for another android phone) that messed up my soft and i cannot boot to the RECOVERY mode, key combinations aren't working and i get stuck at green android image logo so i have to remove the battery every time ... Did the root work for you? i presume you rooted your phone before you tried to backup the CWM ? PS: i tried to ROOT my phone with that program SUPERRECOVERY, that is why i messed up my soft, did not had a chance to try the root method provided on this thread ...Vodafone Smart 2 here.
Hi,
I had no chance to root the phone, just made backup and after that I try to make backup with CWM and this one killed the phone.
Now I have backup files *.img but I can't find a solution to program this files.
I try to connect to PC but no drivers are found for this device even I try to point to drivers from phone SD card.
It look's like I need drivers for VID_0A5C&PID2132 to try to flash my recovery.img with sw from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144773
but I can't find it.
But how did you even manage to use ClockWorkMod because this program can't be used unless your phone is rooted, and what was the point in making a backup with that CWM if the phone already has the Alcatel recovery v1.0.0.0. preinstalled.
I had no idea that CWM will kill the phone if used on Alcatel V860 / Vodafone Smart 2, I just wanted to be sure I have 2 backup source... now I have one backup & one bricked phone that I did not even turned ON to see the menu how it looks... and 2 years Vodafone contract
Anyway, i had mine returned to the Vodafone center i bought it from, i will tell you how much they had my phone in service, but i am pretty sure by tomorrow or tuesday it will be back in my pocket it is pretty wierd because CWM is an app from Google play (android market) ... in my case i have no doubt that the program i used was made especially for noobs like me to use and Brick my phone ) Again that program that bricked my phone is called : SuperRecovert NOT Superrecovery, i made a mistake the first time sry ...
Look's like my phone will also go to Vodafone service because I can't find available any info, drivers or program to flash this Alcatel V860 phone... it's to new.
Yes, it's the best solution for now ... they will solve the problem pretty fast i'm sure ... we gotta' pay more attention next time
does the battery life is also bad for you?
for me it drains 1% for every 1 minute of calls...
Battery drain problem appear after you Root the phone or it is "feature" from new ?

Mine last about 3 days with normal use: About 1 hour with wifi on maybe playing media for few minutes + Few phone calls + few texts /1day and I always have my phone powered off at night about 7 to 8 hours and I always use 2G GSM + killing the Apps running in the back ground with Task killer.... And I have it rooted for a couple of days now. Usually the smart phones battery doesn't last so long unlike the old Nokia.
I noticed the battery capacity for this phone is only 1200mAh!!!! It is actually ok cause it's not 700mAh, but you get what you pay for in the end of the day it is a cheap phone. I knew that there is what they called Gold battery but this is for the previous Vodafone smart phones the Huawei versions with 2430mAh for something like 13pounds this can last for about one week with normal use.
@bassalh123
i followed your guide and working fine. thank you.
Parents got one of these and lot of crap on it also Volume very low
Cannot access you tube but is the root message extracting file to phone and then using file manager to run it or is it via Odin?
When rooted can the volume be increased and can Titanium be installed to remove all the crap also can the start up vodafone splash screen be removed
Thanks

Hi Mr Irish man,
In one word Rooting android gives you access to system files. So you can uninstall pre-installed Apps like Vodafone music ... Some Apps maybe needed by the operating system so don't uninstall them!!! so be careful.
Refer to Youtube video and learn how to root your vodafone smart 2 it's under the title how to root vodafone smart 2 II

Hello! I recently got a h892l myself. Ive never rooted before and I have been trying to learn as much as I can before rooting. On another forum (howard forums) someone said they rooted with kingo root.
Im sorry, I dont have anyknowledge to assist you, but I wanted to ask, do you know what went wrong? Anything you could offer as far as advice/experience would be very much appreciated- I cant afford another phone either.
I wish you all the best and hope you are able to sort this issue out.

Hey all,
So I bought a cheap 9" tablet off eBay for use as an electronic billboard outside my dorm room door (cool, huh?)
I've been trying to root it for a long time so I could disable the touch screen/buttons on the device. I don't want people powering it off or something weird. I tried a bunch of different rooting methods to no prevail and eventually decided to try installing a custom recovery image using fast boot. Well, I definitely screwed something up as now the tablet just keeps rebooting as shown in the gif below.
[Gif video] i.imgur.com/ZtU4RtG.gifv
The screen will turn on and off and it seems to do it too quickly to be recognized by fast boot.
Should I paint a target on the back and practice my aim or is there any hope here?
Thank you for reading.
I figured it out! For anyone who has a problem in the future, I'll tell you how I did it.
Get PhoenixCard, it allows you to reinstall firmware through a micro sd card.
blogtechtips.com/2015/11/24/phoenixcard/
Then, get the iRulu firmware from the iRulu website. I checked the sticker on the back of my tablet and my model is like an x1924 (first part of whatever that code is.) I downloaded the "X1921 X1922 X1931 X1932 Firmware_YHK" firmware as it was the closest one. There should be instructions on how to use the PhoenixCard software to reinstall your firmware, but I found that I had to remove the card and try burning again if it failed to burn. It'll say "error" at the end if it failed.
Then I tried plugging in the card and booting the tablet a couple of times until a loading bar appeared on the screen. Wait patiently, and eventually it will turn off again. Remove the card and boot up and you're good!

I also have an IRULU x9 (boot screen says expro x1) I have a serial # jx944wf1507061e. I found the firmware on the Irulu site as firmware for JX944 & JX945 HERE
xx.irulu.com/download/lists.html
replace xx with www
I rooted my tablet but it is stuck in factory reset boot loop. If there is a power cycle i lose all programs installed and the tablet goes back to factory settings out of the box state. However, I still have root and superuser (Kingoroot) installed.
I will try flashing it with phoenixcard and with the factory firmware and post if it fixed it.
***update** Flashed the firmware with Phoenixcard, used JX944 firmware and it is back to factory specs working as it did when it was stock.
Thanks to you both. I'm going to try this over New Year's. Wish me luck!

Hi there , after soft bricking my phone intentionally because i wanted to downgrade form O to MM which i thought it would be relatively easy to find a stock firmware(the full one) well ...(i was wrong), Xda is not as content rich as you may think, and no one seems to offer any advice or answer for that matter, compared to other forums it lacks a lot.
After flashing more than 5 corrupted firmwares i found one that is working perfectly fine.
Steps:
1-Enter fastboot ( power + vol up)
2- Run (flashall_AFT.cmd) , download link below.... (this is the full firmware no bull**** no missing files) .
That's it... piece of cake
First impression: the bass is more rich and vibrant as many have said so cause the O version was an absolute rubbish like it's battery life , i'm yet to see the battery performance on this MM and i'll be updating the thread with SOT SS after flashing Magisk and installing debloater module.

There are some other newer N full versions but i haven't tested them.

i already had that file which i got a few months ago but never used it. i was a noob about this zenfone.
but ur title says its mm, its not , its nougat, 7.11. its the last nougat b4 oreo was released, it uses the same base fw, iirc, as my post about manually flashing 7.11 but without the radios, https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/manually-update-to-7-11-t3815703
my memory could be wrong though, but file name suggests its 7.11
- [firmware27]WW_ZE553KL_71.60.139.30_MR4_user_20180306173656_release.zip
long story short i eventually flashed it a couple of weeks ago, it does flash successfully, well most of the time, and looks legit, i just wish i knew its original source, i think it was someone named marco, as theres lots of files within that zip.....but it seems legit.
but why are u hosting it on the clickbait site. i might up it to androidfilehost which is a no bs hosting site.
i did create a twrp flashable full stock 6.01 mm firmware, im still testing it as it doesnt always flash completely in twrp, about 8 out of 10 times it flashes correctly. but its hard to test on a dead no display/no touch screen phone
edit: correction, not clickbait, but need to signup

Yeah i saw your post a couple of days ago and it is legit , about the file hosting it's not clickbait it's just 4shared and this little guy is older than the xda :laugh::laugh: , i agree that the androidfilehost is faster and more convenient but i'm not the uploader , i just copied it from another source, it would be great if you re-upload it for others and i will update the link.
Now we come to testing: i tested this myself and it is 6.0.1 for sure but i don't remember which release it was cause i updated to 7.1.1 20.32.67.25 release for various reasons, mainly for battery life (spoiler: not much difference and it's still poor) and i will keep flashing / debloating apparently in (in search of incredible) but i'm quite sure this phone is hopeless without a custom ROM from scratch as the amount of services and wakelocks are enormous.
Why don't you participate and use your knowledge in the "allegedly upcoming" Lineage 15.1 hopefully we get a working build before the end of the year :cyclops: i'm sure you are aware of the situation.
And if you're into kernels then kernelwise this phone's kernel was made by noobs ,ASUS put an AMOLED display and they are not using it's features as the blacks are lit and power consumption by the screen is well above an LCD one of the same size.
Long story short buying this phone was/is a mistake.
I actually found the site firmware27 that was hosting 8 ww fw and a couple of cn and jp sku fw.
I tested all 8 ww skus, only 2 work without effort, 6.0.1 dated deb 2017, and the 7.1.1 which I had from a couple of months ago and use the img files in my other thread and which i though u linked here.
Ill be posting a thread and links to both of these files that i ul to afh, and my usage of them, I came to the conclusion that they are asus's fw given to their authorized service centers, they include everything not even available through asus's fw from their site.
Too bad he got most of the files corrupted when he ul'd them to g-drive, my guess
at least now we got 2 fw files to work with, but its a pia to make it a twrp non wipe flashable zip, beyond my skills at this point in time.
edit: i have the one u have linked here which i got a couple of months ago, WW-ZE553KL-11.40.86.71-MR0-user-20170410214554-release.zip,
but firmware27 doesnt have it, and i cant remember where i got it, and by its date youre correct it must be 6.0.1, nougat fw starts with "V20".
so there are actually 3 working fastboot flashable FW out in the wild, boy arent we lucky
i have this phone because a couple of months ago i helped my friend flash fw on it because he was getting poor data signal, i soft bricked and had to learn how to unbrick it, which i did.
its mine as a couple of weeks ago, he dropped it a few feet onto ceramic floor and the screen is dead, no display, no touch, lcd is cracked under the top glass which actually has no cracks, and thats how im using it lol.
i was going to use it as a security camera but i had to learn how to control it remotely, which i did, that was a flashing adventure w/out a working screen

All you need is one fw to start with and after that you can update to whichever release you want without any problem , strait forward from asus site and update via sd card even if it's rooted or bootloader unlocked, you can do anything and even get updates as FOTA app works as soon as you boot cause asus update procedure is very primitive HOWEVER it should be on stock recovery and honestly twrp is pretty much useless here and i didn't seem to need it in anything with this device!! (i use magisk to root), it's not like there's half a dozen of custom ROMs to flashed , the only possible modification is within the stock fw and that's our limit.
If you find a screen replacement under 50$ it is worth it , i knew that 2.5D glass is poor engineering and very fragile, so screen protector and case was crucial since day 1.
Notes:
Don't trust asus download center's description cause i downloaded the latest nougat release before the Oreo (as described in their section) and it turned out to be the first release of their lousy O fw.
cheapest on ebay is over $70can for aftermarket from china. cheap clone? idk
i'll stick w/my note 4 can version as my dd.
i'll upload the working fw i found for redundancy and to give users more options, 4 fw as of now.
i do have the last 7.1.1 b4 oreo
these are actual service tech fw's available to them for restoring phones. supposedly can be use by asus flash tool which i haven't used yet.
they dont change the bootloader lock status or the frp/google account status (to do that use fastboot wipe config)
since it is in a raw format the individual files can be flashed via fastboot for those that would need it.
fyi all fw are exactly the same except for the recovery, boot, system and , emmc_appsboot_8953.mbn(bootloader ?), the radios and other files are the same
i cant use the builtin updater because i cant seem to get the right button combo to work in stock recovery to flash the update and thats after i reinstall the stock recovery and remove root, flashing from bootloader is a breeze.
the only one i can't get adb enabled so i can mirror the screen is the mm 11.40.86.71, the same one you have linked here
when i try to make a custom stock flashable rom it always fails to boot, would u know why?,

I would say let's find a solution to the easy problem and not the to hard one, you want to take 2 blurry steps instead of 2 obvious ones !! i can help you with stock ones just explain more what's the exact problem ? i didn't understand so correct me if i'm wrong : you have no visual indication as the screen is dead right ? or can't boot into the stock recovery at all ?
if you have the bootloader unlocked and no screen indication :
power up wait for the vibration and press volume down 4 times then press power to boot into recovery
wait 10 sec and press volume down 2 times to (update form sd card)
rename the fw .zip file to A so it can be sorted first and it should be in root directory and alone to prevent any miss hits and press volume down 1 time.
and if that didn't work just flash the fw that's provided and redo the steps if you want to update , congratulations now you have a working internals and up to date phone that you can't even boot into it's home screen cause the boot confirmation by email and password is near impossible to bypass without a working display. (there is some methods though )
I don't see the point of a phone without a display at least temporary.
This phone is a joke in it's normal condition let alone in the non , don't waste your time and sell it as parts, if you get 40$ take it.

not impossible, very doable to use a phone even with a dead screen.
after alot of trials and error ...from a new flashed stock thats was completely wiped, i can get to a remotely controlled/viewed phone in about 10mins .
i will write up a tut on that.
i can get that done with all the availabe working raw fw except with the mm 2017/04 release
yes, i have a completely dead screen, no display, no touch. all other phone functions work.
the reason for stock recovery procedure was to update to oreo, but i really dont care if i get it. just seeing if its doable.
playing with it for giggles, going to be a security camera as the cam is vg, useless as a phone that has no working screen.
i can be the sacrificial tester if need be, pretty hard to hardbrick this phone as i also have the back cover off so to disconnect the battery connector for those hard soft brick occasions and/or to make sure phone was completely off b4 doing something

sounds like a hardware failure not a software/firmware problem, let it rip, time for another phone, phone not worth getting it repaired even if u do it yourself

Hi there , after soft bricking my phone intentionally because i wanted to downgrade form O to MM which i thought it would be relatively easy to find a stock firmware(the full one) well ...(i was wrong), Xda is not as content rich as you may think, and no one seems to offer any advice or answer for that matter, compared to other forums it lacks a lot.
After flashing more than 5 corrupted firmwares i found one that is working perfectly fine.
Steps:
1-Enter fastboot ( power + vol up)
2- Run (flashall_AFT.cmd) , download link below.... (this is the full firmware no bull**** no missing files) .
That's it... piece of cake
First impression: the bass is more rich and vibrant as many have said so cause the O version was an absolute rubbish like it's battery life , i'm yet to see the battery performance on this MM and i'll be updating the thread with SOT SS after flashing Magisk and installing debloater module.

There are some other newer N full versions but i haven't tested them.
