Lenovo Tab 2 A7-F10 frustrating problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I own a fabric new Tablet from Lenovo [TAB 2 A7-F10] since few days, and I've problem which I fight already all my day, and from hour to hour it's even worse.
Earlier my tablet had Android 4.4.2 and stock firmware, which i successfully rooted, and to the certain moment much later tablet had worked fine. Today in the morning I wanted to update it by Lenovo smart update, unfortunately it ended with failure so I've just rebooted it, yet tablet still worked fine.
Background at applications changed to blue, in the end I couldn't get rid of it, so I turned off rooter and rebooted tablet into recovery mode. There I selected factory mode option and the horror started.
After certain time, I found out that the loop of not going further than to the recovery mode, is caused with ROM's problem. (Soft-brick)
Here on XDA I've read how to flash tablet with new stock ROM for my Lenovo tablet. I couldn't find a ROM's version for KitKat so I used Lolipop version instead. After the flashing has been ended successfully, I wanted to reboot my tablet, but that didn't worked.
It wont turn on, nor it won't vibrate or show reaction with computer. Tried to enter recovery but still nothing.
I feel shattered and really upset because of it, I'm looking forward for any help and I hope you could help me with this..
Thanks,
DeidVesp.

[Q] SGH-I527M flashing issues

Hi all, long time browser of XDA, first time poster. Up until now, every phone I've had, I've found the answers on this forum. I recently picked up a Samsung Galaxy Mega (SGH-I527M) which was non functional due to what I believe was an interrupted OTA update. When I first turned it on it said ']image size too large!! w:1080 h:1920 display image fail secure fail: kernel' I downloaded stock 4.4.2 from the sammobile website, and flashed it through odin, this got rid of the message, but sent the phone into a bootloop, I couldnt enter recovery, couldn't boot, just download mode. I then tried to use the Kies software to recover it, which brought back the image size error again. Anything stock i try to flash from sammobile results in a bootloop, the only rom that boots is a pre rooted stock 4.2.2. However, with this rom I have no wifi, bluetooth, sound, or USB. In an attempt to fix this I flashed the modem file from a 4.4.2 pre rooted stock rom. This returned my sound and bluetooth, but i still cant enable wifi, and no computer ive tried can connect to the phone via usb. As of now, I still have no wifi or usb. The hardware is completely fine, according to the previous owner, it worked right up until the failed flash. I've been trying to figure this out for 2 days straight now, and I'm at a loss. Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing this? I very much appreciate any help with this situation

Thank you for your reply. I had already tried the ROM from that thread to no avail. However, I did manage to restore this phone to working order. It turns out that all of my issues stemmed from an aftermarket screen replacement. Upon searching various forums, I cam! e across one that said to unplug the screen, boot the phone, and plug it back in once the screen would have normally timed out. Lo and behold, the LED turned blue and it didnt bootloop. Upon plugging the screen back in I was presented with my lockscreen, with no touch response. That confirmed my suspicions of an aftermarket screen. Browsing the web with new leads, I came across a video explaining how to fix, flashed megafire v16 as suggested, and the phone lives again! Seems samsung doesnt like when they cant take you for more money on OEM parts
Thanks again for the reply, and may I say just how lost I'd be without XDA?

Tried to flash ROM to China tablet, appears hardbricked, please help?

So, for Christmas my daughter's mom got her an A33 Q88H QuadCore Softwinner tablet, and we discovered the OS it came with had some very strange issues related to a lack of compatibility with Google Play, so I tried to get around that with software, but I needed to be rooted. However, I had bizarre difficulties with SuperSU, unlocking the bootloader, rooting, and even more difficulties trying to flash a custom recovery that I could use to ROOT-- the obscure china tablet had no TWRP or CWM support. I finally tried a very convoluted method of flashing what appeared to be a ROM for the A33 Allwinner tablet, which hadTWRP already installed, so I could use TWRP to root it, and then finally fix the software issues.
However, the process didn't work, and when I rebooted the phone, I found it stuck on a black screen with a tiny android symbol, and that's how it's been since. Holding volume and power button only reboots it to the same screen -- no bootloader or anything, so I can't find any way to try to flash a factory ROM to get it back to regular settings. When I plug it into my computer, it makes the input noise, and shows up in Device Manager as "Android Device" with "Android ADB Interface" drivers successfully installed, but ADB doesn't recognize it as a device, and I can't get it into any sort of download mode -- it isn't recognized in My Computer as a hard drive. So, I can't find a way to interface with the tablet to reflash a stock ROM. :frown:
It's her Christmas present, so I don't want to admit that I've broken it; I've been trying to solve it all night for 12 hours straight, but I just can't find anything that works! Is there any way you guys can help me? :crying:
I tried to attach some pics but the uploader isnt working.

Successfully rooted the A10-70L ZA010062ZA in just a few minutes!

Hello everyone.
So I successfully rooted the A10-70L ZA010062ZA using the simple tool: KingoRoot.
It was truly easy; just downloading and installing KingoRoot onto my laptop (I did not trust installing it on the tablet itself) and it turned out to be a big success with just one click of a button ("Root") after plugging the tablet into my laptop using USB (with USB debugging turned on ofcouse).
So here I went and downloaded Linux Deploy onto the tablet and spent a day TRYING to install Kali onto it. Honestly, there were so many issues and errors, I just got frustrated.
I honestly did not figure out how to do this yet; because why? The tablet thought to itself "What madness it this?!" and he shut down instantly, BOOM!
I was confused at first, holding my head with my hands in my hair when i then realised - Wow, okay.. It does NOTHING when i try to turn it on! I freaked when I realised that I have hard-bricked it.
After trying ONE LAST TIME to turn it on, holding the power button for almost a minute before losing hope, IT TURNED ON! But.. It got stuck in a boot loop, showing only the boot screen. I WAS RELIEVED!! I only soft-bricked it.
Now I am currently downloading the stock ROM, which I believe should work. I will post an update on this thread to keep you up to date on what I did and if it was successful.
Question: Is there maybe ANY custom ROM that is compatible with the A10-70L ZA010062ZA?
The stock ROM is cool and everything, but why not make the device a brutally epic device if the possibility exists?!

GT-N8010 Stuck on Logo Screen

Ok, first up I know there are many posts out there about this issue because I've looked at most of them and tried them so please bear with me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-N8010, about 4 years old. I have never rooted or done anything to the firmware in all that time except OTA updates & the occasional factory reset to clean things up.
Couple of months ago it was on, i had been using it and put it down and when i came back it was on the Samsung logo screen and has been ever since.
Since i could get into the download page even though it was already bricked I figured i'd try rooting to see if i could fix the problem. Now possibly i should have attempted to get into recovery mode first but I attempted to install CWM (as per posts here). It appeared to install fine. But no recovery partition, screen blinks and goes back to the logo.
I've tried flashing stock firmware, TWRP, CWM - all 'appear' to install successfully according to ODIN, but nothing changes, still stuck on the logo screen.
So does this sound like a hardware issue or am i missing something? The Tab A 10.1 with s-pen looks great, would be a perfect replacement, but is not available in NL
Thanks guys (& gals)

Is my tablet bricked?

Hello, i am new here and i came in here for help.
It all started when i blindly flashed twrp v2.6.0.0 on my tablet, and now i regret that i have done that.
The problem is that it is stuck in a bootloader boot loop and the screen does not work at all when i am at the menu. The os is gone and i can't even go into download mode because the tablet does not have physical volume buttons.
The tablet is an estar mid 7818 mini (rebranded onda v818 mini).
Is there anything i can do? This is my last resort since i am tired of trying to find a solution to this rare problem.
edit:
The os is not gone, as it seems that the thing still has the default battery charging screen while being off, but it don't know anymore. I am no stranger to rooting and flashing, but that was mainly done on Samsung phones, which have much better support than some random chinese tablets.
I still need help, though :^(
Cheers if you read my mess.
edit v2:
I actually fixed it! So this is what i did:
1. found a thread on a different forumsuggesting that i should use iroot to download the drivers (because the device was not recognised by any software);
2. rommaster was installed with me not even knowing;
3. I pressed some buttons and the tablet rebooted to android (the ui was in chinese)'
And with my blind luck - i somehow fixed it.
Hopefully i will not end up in this mess again.
Cheers.
