Hi
Earlier today i went to the store to get a new tablet since my old one got broken.
Ended up buying a Lenovo Tab 2 A10-30F as it was super cheap, 32gb storage and 2gb ram
My problem is that i cant find any roms at all besides stock.
Do anyone know if there is one out there?
My "skill" with linux to make a port might end up in a disaster so im a little spooked to try that as i cant afford a new tab if this goes to shi**

There must be an easy way using adb and fastboot. Have you searched?

To enter in recovery mode, push power , and when vibrating, quickly push vol+..Stock recovery will appear

How did you root please?
I have been looking for a stock ROM for Lenovo Tab 2 A10 30 as well, but to no avail. I have run into issue when the tablet freezes in
' Checking Connection' screen after factory reset (Lollipop 5.1.1). In my mind re-installing ROM could fix this issue.
The version I am looking for is : TB2-X30F_S000015_160115_ROW
Does anyone know where to find this ROM?
Alternatively does anyone know how to get pas the dreaded 'Checking Connection' screen?
Thanks!

I successfully updated my Lenovo Tab 2 A10-30 F to android 6.0.1 using this guide :
http://lenovo-forums.ru/forum/574-lenovo-tab-2-a10-30-achilles/
There is a list of roms for A10-30, A 10-30F and A10-30L tablet variants.
Had no issue at all.
Copy rom to external micro sd card, reboot in recovery mode, flash and wait about 5 minutes.

Hi Bora
Can you please tell me if you were rooted before you did this.
I guess this is the rom you used
Google translate isn't the best with Russian and I don't want to brick.
I have a rooted A10-30f but after reading the the post I am not sure if I can do the "ota sd card method" or if i need to use the "Qualcomm QFIL method".
Thanks
No I did not rooted tab before I flashed.
Did exactly what they wrote.
My tab are working like a charm, no even one bug or random reboot.
Has anyone successfully rooted this device on marshmallow? I done it with kingroot, but every time I restart the device it loses root.
???

First I rooted tab , using NewKingrootV4.9.7_C152_B335_xda_2016_10_18_105243 via recovery ( pwr+home+volume up).
then :
Downloaded the .zip file
Placed the .zip file on the internal SD card and followed Blaikey's instructions:
1. Power off the tablet
2. Hold Power and volume up buttons together until tablet starts booting
3. Release the power button but keep holding the volume up button
4. Once recovery has loaded select 'apply update from external sdcard' or 'apply update from internal sdcard'
5. On the next screen Choose your update zip file
6. Confirm update and wait for the update to install, tablet will reboot when finished
After that the tablet would not startup. I rebooted again in this mode and then chose "wipe data/factory reset".
Then it came back OK, with Androïd 6.0.1
This rom is not for A10-30L?

Did you get this working on A10-30L (not A10-30F)? I have A10-30L and the ROM available from lenovo-forums.ru for the L variant seems to be corrupt. The "F" ROM looks OK but of course my system refuses to install it as it's for a different hardware version. When I open each archive the file structure inside is different--it seems the L archive is missing some files.
Thanks.

So, I just picked up a GT 10.1 (ditched my iPad 2). Currently, my laptop is with a friend for a couple of weeks. I have this PC at work, but I'm not in IT anymore and have lost admin privledges, so I can't even mount as a drive at this time. I have an OLD pc in the garage at home that I could set up, but we are talking 3-4 mintues to open a browser, so it's functionally worthless...
This GT is a bit laggy and whatnot on the stack ROM, which I didn't expect since my Asus Transformer had similar specs and was not, but that's fine since rooting and a custom ROM should fix this. So, is there a way I can Root and Update the ROM WITHOUT having to use a PC?
Thanks

Thank you though...
You might try on the work computer since you don't need to mount a drive or install any software. Run the Odin program and connect the tablet in download mode and see if it finds it. If so, just flash the CWM and you're golden.
After that, since you can't mount the device, you can download ROMs directly to the device, or get a program called "wifi file explorer" from the market to transfer files from your computer without mounting it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there are some signed superuser zips on the superuser website. Maybe you can flash those in the stock recovery. I may be wrong though. Idk if the recovery is looking for a specific file signature or just any file signature

Root Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Without a Computer!
I just came across this thread because I had the same question.
I figured out a solution. This is a bit of a headache, but in the end it worked for me. Try at your own risk.
Do all of the following directly on your device:
1. Download tabrooteasy.zip. You can find a link from galaxytabhacks . com.
2. Use a file manager (File Expert is my fave) to decompress the file and locate Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip.
3. Turn your tab off, then restart in recovery (hold Power + Vol Down, on the screen after the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen, let go quickly, press Vol Down, then press Power).
4. Choose the "apply zip from SD card" option in the stock recovery, then go to Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip and flash it.
5. Restart your tab and after it boots, go into SU and update the binaries.
Your tab is now rooted!
If you want to flash something else, the easiest way to me would be to download Rom Manager and flash CWM. Then download whatever you want to flash and either flash through Rom Manager or use Rom Manager to restart in recovery and flash manually through recovery.

Hi friends...
The stock ICS recovery looks a bit advanced,because you can apply updates from Cache!but that's not the point...
In stock recovery(of any kind) you DO NOT have the option for applying a custom zip package,you can try applying update.zip instead,so try renaming your update package...I didn't test it but am gonna' stock in some days' time...

You should ask in the galaxy tab 4 forum on a thread that's not been dead for three years.
Also, when you do so you'll need to give a lot more information. At a minimum you'll need to 1) explain what you're trying to do; and 2) recreate the steps that got you to the problem.

On his post its written:
"This is a flashable zip, no need computer with pad tool to flash this firmware.
You can flash this rom over all firmware's.
-You need TWRP to flash this rom.
-Put rom (sa_$SA_VERSION-$DATE-$BUILD_NUMBER-$DEVICE_MODEL.zip), gapps (gapps-jb4.2-20140911-unofficial.zip) on sdcard or sd-ext.
-Turn on the tablet into recovery mode.
-Then select "Factory reset" from "Wipe" menu.
-Flash rom (sa_$SA_VERSION-$DATE-$BUILD_NUMBER-$DEVICE_MODEL.zip), gapps (gapps-jb4.2-20140911-unofficial.zip).
-After inscriptions "Successfully" select "Reboot system".
-Firmware installed!"
I dont have my lappy available at the moment to flash any firmwares. So just wondering, will I brick the device if I leave it the way it is, its already using 2gb app storage patched firmware.
there's an update from shark android, i'll post a link to the rom and gapps here.
Link to rom: https://www.dropbox.com/s/co5i8147g1o6lpc/sa_4.35-20140912-stable-shadow.zip?dl=0
link to gapps: https://www.dropbox.com/s/upfv9tl9gqu8d2l/gapps-jb4.2-20140911-unofficial.zip?dl=0
Here are the instructions:
1 Download firmware, put on sdcard, or on sd-ext.
2 Go to TWRP, select Wipe -> Factory Reset (We need to move the slider.)
3 After Wipe select Install, then select sa_ $ SA_VERSION- $ DATE- $ BUILD_NUMBER- $ DEVICE_MODEL.zip and move the slider to "Swipe to install", the process will start flashing!
4 After saying "Successful", click on the house, click "Install", then select gapps-jb4.2-20140911-unofficial.zip and move the slider to "Swipe to install", the installation process will begin informal Google applications!
5 After installation, click "Reboot system" to reboot.
Hello! This is my first post
I am hoping that you guys can give me some pointers about resolving the issue with my phone, I searched around but I can't find anything
I can't boot into recovery mode after flashing ClockworkMod Recovery... It just restarts and boots normally if I try to enter into recovery... I used the instruction from this website to do it: (I am unable to post the link, so I am putting the text in the quote box)
How to install CWM Recovery
Here is what you need to do to flash a custom recovery image – more exactly CWM Recovery – on the smartphone.
First task for you to accomplish: find and then flash MobileUncle MTK Tool on the AQUA i5.
Launch it afterwards. Then be sure you do this: tap the option called Update Recovery and afterwards transfer recovery.img to the phone’s SD card root.
After you have patience for a couple of minutes (not more than five), the CWM Recovery tool will be flashed on the Intex AQUA i5.
If everything went well, your handset should reboot into the custom recovery image. Now your phone is both rooted and installed with ClockworkMod Recovery.
NOTE: In the eventuality of a problem, like for example the smartphone gets stuck in boot loop, you need to solve this by taking the battery out of the device, then inserting it back in and re-doing the tutorial from the first step to the very last one.
The I5 could also surprise you with this issue: getting stuck in “Welcome” screen. For this to go away, you will have to repeat the steps we gave you for the previous problem. All is well now.

Unfortunally i couldn't find the device forum for your mentioned one so the better way to ask is to do it here >>> Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Oh, It would be nice if a mod or admin can move this thread over there
ROM manager app may help
if your phone is rooted, then try installing a recovery from app called ROM MANAGER, hope that would help
I already tried that, Its says that my device is not supported

Try Cwm rom manager, it will provide you with suitable recovery, otherwise try flashify, same function as Cwm rom manager but with extra recovery such as Cwm,twrp,pliz etc.

Hi.
Look in Development area for your stock firmware.
Flash again with SPFlash Tool.
Go to q&a section/rooting tutorial for kitkat. There is a tutorial for installing TWRP safe.
After all this, safe backup your currently installed system. NOT OPTIONAL.
Now after full backup, ONLY AFTER FULL BACKUP you can install other custom firmware. I recommend you to install latest MIUI.
Hope this helps you.
Good luck.

Well thank you for your reply.
I was about to post some more details, like:
I was able to start recovery mode using p780 image.
some ROMs (i think OTA) tried to install. but it stuck with
warning: No file contexts
and after some time it would abort the installation with status 6.
However, this time i think i messed up
It is now stuck at "ASUS" logo on restart
cannot do factory reset mode also.
On top of that my phone doesnt connect to my laptop. (it cant detect )
I think its dead/brick. if you have further rescue suggestions , please do comment.
Thank you for your support.
Regards

Now seriously... To be sure, you must reflash your stock firmware.
If after reflash the phone still have problems, then you have a hardware problem.

Ok let me start from the beginning:
I rooted my phone because of pokemon go. The phone was too slow and could not run this app effectively.
I rooted p780 using kingroot apk (the one with crown icon). removed unnecessary apps like (security, google play books etc...)
My phone was very happy :good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::laugh: untill...
I wanted to explore more what i can do with root. I uninstalled contact manager (IdeaFriend) bbboooommmm.
Even with Contact+ i was not able to add any new contacts.
This made me to explore more about flash and roms.
I had S226 or S228 OTA and I found this Asus Zenfone 5 ROM.
During recovery i used Asus.....
After Asus installation I realized
No English Notification (Only Russian).
No Camera APP
No Necessary GAPPS...
So I tried to become Hero and wanted to reflash Lenovo. and .....rest you know.
Current condition: I have reflashed Asus. because i am not able to find/install the old lenovo rom or any other rom which can support.
But this is temorarily.
Hence i still need support:
I am able to reboot in recovery but need a proper ROM.
Regards

So... You have recovery, system is messed up,... Hmmm...
Look what i propose....
1. download the latest MIUI from Development/MIUI post
2. Put MIUI zip file on sd card any sdcard and insert it on the phone.
3. Reboot to recovery or start to recovery.
4. Go to wipe, advance wipe. Select all except sdcard and otg and swipe to wipe.
5. After wipe go to rebooy and press reboot to recovery
6. After reboot go to wipe and swipe to factory reset.
7. After wipe go to install, browse for MIUI and install.
8. After install is complete reboot to system.
9. Wait till all is completed, this reboot takes longer than usual... Do not be scared.
10. That must be it. Tell me if something goes wrong.
11. Good luck.

Hi.
Dont worry. I am not offended.
Try to get in twrp now. With combination of keys pressed all: power key + volume - and volume +
Try to factory reset. See what is going on.

Already tried that....not working...
always says an error of "unable to mount /emmc".
On looking into twrp I tried to format the internal storage but it says 0MB.
Also i see 'internal SD storage' as vfat format.
Any further suggestions ?
I have noticed that luckily my twrp is 1 version older. which has option to format the internal storage (if i understand correctly)
Maybe you can provide some codes to re-partition the internal storage. (this is what i learnt so far from other forums :crying
:crying::crying::crying:
Hi. To repartition the phone you must know some hexa.
I studied some tutorials here in XDA.
On our problem, seems to me that something happened to your hardware.
See if you can format the phone with sp flash tool v5.

My computer is not able to detect the phone. after connecting with cable i see a notification as 'usb not recognized'.
However, my External SD card can be read through phone.
So any other way to partition internal sd ?

If your computer does not detect your phone is a hardware problem.
That means you have a hardware fault on the phone motherboard. Seems to me that you have to go to an service store for further analysis.
