Hi All
I have an ainol novo 7 aurora v1
I previously had a nice working rom (the essential clean rom by android-kun from slatedroid), but just wanted to flash to cm10 to see what it would be like
I followed the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821398
before starting i flashed the recovery using Novotools then booted into recovery
i downloaded aurora-v1-v2_legacy-compatibility-jb_vX.zip and aurora-v1-v2_legacy-compatibility_v1.zip
then i used cwm to install
aurora-v1-v2_legacy-compatibility_v1
then the JB zip in that order
I then rebooted fine
did the usuall startup...thats when problems begain
Firstly. I couldnt get wifi to turn on. Basically you drag it on and it bounces back to off immediately
then i tried to open file manager, but nothing was showing up
then i opened a video/photo/camera app and got messages saying that no external memory could be found
if i try to access "Apps" or "storage" in settings, it crashes the settings app
i plugged the device into the computer and could turn on usb mode just fine but can only access internal storage but not external
so basically, i now have a device that cannot access any media, cannot access the internet, cannot install apk from file manager and cannot access full settings
All i have is superuser and terminal
so i tried to install novotools.apk manually via terminal but it didnt work and i tried to do it via windows via ADB but it said no device found (i have the drivers)
also i cannot boot into recovery
i have tried holding down power and vol – or +
and i have tried the terminal command
reboot recovery
both just reboot me back into the main OS
or just turn the device off
i have also tried to flash_image recovery a recovery.img
but it says directory not found referring to recovery
I am now tearing my hair out, so if someone could help me itd be much appreciated
it is running android 4.0.3 maybe thats what caused the issue (incompatability with cyanogenmod 10?)
The irony is that the tablet runs super super super smoothly but is completely useless BIG SIGH
Thanks for any assistance.
i have a feeling that if i can get the recovery to work then i should be able to reflash everything
i have also tried using livesuit but i cant get it into that volume+ and power button mode for it to flash
In the end I found it fairly easy to root my samsung epic 4g galaxy sph-d700 but the documentation was a bit tricky (because some of it was based on odin rather than heimdall, it wasn't always clear where to get ROM's, how ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) fits into the picture, etc.). I hope that this post will be useful.
(1) Install heimdall on the computer running ubuntu (heimdall is a program that will flash ROM's to the phone)
apt-get install heimdall-flash
(2) Download to the computer the latest CWM and an appropriate, i.e., pre-rooted, ROM from an archive such as that of kennyglass123. BML ROM's may be easier for beginners than are MTD ROM's. The ROM should be matched to the phone, which means both the hardware and the system it is replacing. I used
cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar (ClockWorkMod Recovery; extract its contents)
Deodexed-FC09-BML.zip (a ROM and system for the android phone; leave the file zipped)
(But ThePeoplesROMv2.22_BML.zip has also been recommended and there are others in circulation).
(3) Connect the android phone to the computer via USB cable; the phone should show up on the desktop as a removable disk. Transfer the ROM file (Deodexed-FC09-BML.zip) from the computer to the sd card of the phone (just as you would transfer any file, e.g., an mp3, by drag and drop or by copying from the command line from/to the appropriate directory).
(4) On the computer extract recovery.bin from the CWM tarfile
tar xvf cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar
(I renamed recovery.bin to cwm5_recovery.bin to remind myself what it is.)
(5) Disconnect and turn off the phone and restart the phone in Download mode by turning off the phone and turning it on while holding down the number "1" on the physical keyboard. "Download" mode starts (black screen with yellow triangle with worker digging).
(6) Connect the phone to the computer by USB cable. From the computer use heimdall to flash the CWM file to the phone as a recovery file. Flashing is not the same as file transfer: phone must be in Download mode and the heimdall program must be used to flash the file onto the phone's ROM. The command is:
heimdall flash --recovery cwm5_recovery.bin
(7) Disconnect the phone and restart phone with on/off, camera, and volume-down buttons ("three-fingered salute"). Hold all three buttons until the lighted buttons at the bottom of the phone turn on. Phone will start in "Recovery" mode with a menu of 7-10 items.
(8) Navigate the Recovery menu with the volume up/down keys and select items with the camera button. Select item "Install zip from sdcard". Navigate file menu to choose Deodexed-FC09-BML.zip (or another zipped ROM file you have selected). ROM will install.
(9) When the Recovery mode menu returns, select "Reboot phone" and the phone should boot (slowly the first time) to the new ROM and be rooted. There will be a new "Superuser" app on the phone and you should be able to install apps from the Play Store that require root privileges.

Append --no-reboot to the heimdall command otherwise you cannot finish the steps because the phone reboots and you lose cwm.
Hi all,
I'm not an expert with flashing ROMs/recovery and stuff, but I think I know the basics. So, if I was missing something, please forgive me in advance
I'm trying to install TWRP on my Oukitel K6000 Pro, but can't do it for some reason. The things I tried:
1. Rooting my phone w/ kingroot to install flashify. Kingroot failed to root my phone.
2. Via linux machine, using fastboot command. Fastboot failed installing the recovery (USB debugning was turn on. OEM unlocking was turn on, but I wasn't sure I even needed it). Error message I got: "FAILED (remote: download for partition 'recovery' is not allowed"
3. Using windows 7 and windows 10 machines to install it via SP-flash-tool (USB debuging and OEM unlocking was turned on). The SP-flash-tool did not recognized my phone.
4. Using SP-flash-tool with FWUL live-CD. It did not recognize my phone.
5. Using SP-flash-tool with linux machine. It did not recognize my phone.
As for #3 above, I was trying to install MTK drivers before performing the flash process. I think I got it right (for the win10 machine, I rebooted to a mode without signature check as required), but I'm not sure though.
If anyone can step in and help with that - I would much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Tamir
you need the right drivers and the right adb tool.
Download adb tools of android sdk, google it.
Then download the oukitel drivers-> Driver_Auto_Installer_v5.1453.03, search for those., install them.
Try again, good luck.
Rooting and unlocking your phone will format your phone, beware of losing everything on it.
Btw, never use kingroot. Use latest SP Flashtool Version 1728,
Guide:
Download Magisk V16 or SuperSu to your micro sd on your phone.
--(Download your desired firmware, if you want to upgrade as well. (if you want, not needed, since you only want to root or install twrp)--
Download SPFlashTool compatible TWRP from a site that i can't mention here.
Turn off your phone.
Open Splflashtool, select the Android Scatter file that was downloaded with your twrp.
A little bit under that, select Download Only, and NOT firmware ugprade etc.
Now click Download, connect your turned off phone to your pc.
You should hear a windows sound, look at the tool and DO NOT Disconnect your phone. until a popup with Success and a green Symbol appears.
be patient and let it run. (shouldn't actually take longer than 3-5seconds)
After it is done, press simultaneously the Power and Volume+ Keys until a really small menu on the left side screen appears.
Now you can navigate with the Volume+ Key, from the top to the bottom, in an endless loop.
With the Volume- Key you can select on of the three options:
Recovery <-this is what we want, select it!
Fastboot (not really needed for us)
Normal (normal Reboot - Start of the phone)
You will now see the bootlogo, then the twrp menu will show up.
Now you can Flash Magisk or SuperSu for Root. Wipe Dalvik and cache, Reboot, Enjoy.
There are a number of generic installation guides for custom roms eg https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-custom-rom-android/
However this one is specifically for the LG G6 and tested using the US997 model. It worked for me, but I welcome comments on how to improve it.
Create a folder on the PC for all the downloads and files
Download phone driver from LG website
https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-mobile-drivers-and-software-CT10000027-20150179827560
Download ADB/Fastboot https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools (You need to unzip once downloaded)
(I had an error "adb server version (31) doesn't match this client (41) killing". I searched my PC and found an older version which I had used for another phone and deleted the folders and reinstalled from the download)
Ensure the phone is backing up. (Google backup is working, you have all your photos music etc downloaded) the next steps will wipe the phone
Remove the PIN/Password/Fingerprints from the phone so it will boot without any security.
Unlock the bootloader
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
The phone will then reboot and do a complete wipe so you need to wait a while for Android to setup.
Telegraph has the latest news on LG G6 ROMs and Recovery. From here I got the links for SHRP recovery which seems more up to date for LG G6 than TWRP. (https://web.telegram.org/#/[email protected])
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pa-g6/files/Releases/SHRP/20.07.2020/US997/
I named the downloaded file "recovery" (You need the .img file not the ZIP)
There are lots of active ROMS for LG G6 I have Lineage installed on another phone which works really well, but Havoc seems the most popular on the G6.
Download the ROM and Gapps https://opengapps.org/ (I used Nano, remember G6 is 64bit)
You will also need to update the bootloader. This was the latest I found for the US997
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962575226
(I missed the bootloader the first time and Gapps will not flash, I was helped by the LG G6 community on Telegram https://web.telegram.org/#/[email protected])
Now you have downloaded all you need
Then connect the phone to the PC and ensured you have ADB debug on in developer options and boot the phone into fastboot
On the PC open a command prompt in the folder you have all the files:
adb reboot bootloader
To load the recovery to the phone :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
YOU MUST NOW BOOT DIRECTLY TO RECOVERY. Do not reboot to Android as this will automatically reset recovery to the stock version.
Unplug the USB cable and reboot to recovery (hold volume down + power button).. continue holding until phone reboots...
As soon as you see the LG logo on the screen.. let go of the power button then quickly press it again (never letting go of volume down).
Keep holding until you see the Factory Reset screen. Click thru the factory reset screens using the volume buttons to move up/down and power button to select. Choose "Yes" twice (saying you want to reset the phone it should boot into your new recovery. Despite what the screen says it won't actually factory reset/wipe your data... as long as you've installed a custom recovery and have not booted into Android since then.
Most likely you will be asked the password to decrypt the data folder. I tried my phone PIN and other default passwords suggested on the internet. I eventually found that this is a known issue and you need for cancel out of this screen and go and "FORMAT DATA"
Reboot directly to recovery (select reboot recovery in Skyhawk), this time you should not be asked for the decryption password.
I recommend you backup your current setup before making changes. If you hit issues you can use the recovery to restore. My SD card slot is broken (Poor LG design) so I plugged a USB thumb drive into the USB C slot and did a full backup. (No data since I just formatted it).
Wipe the partitions before you flash
Full wipe ("The only option you ever need")
Select Advanced and wipe system partition.
FLASH (You need to put the ZIP files either on the USB drive as I did, or copy to your SD card, or you can use ADB sideloader from the PC to push the files to the phone). The USB drive seems the easiest since you can plug it into your PC to load the files then plug it into the phone to read them.
Flash in the following order
Bootloader
ROM
Gapps
After Installing wipe cache and Davik
Reboot
It will do lots of processing while setting up. Ensure it stays cool (remove case and leave it plugged in with the screen off)
Donate to the developer of your new ROM at the end when it works.
I have been running my LG G6 on Android 10 for a few weeks and thought I would share my observations, I am using Havoc 3.7 installed with Skyhawk, I did not root the phone.
Likes : Very smooth experience, phone feel like it is running much faster. Very stable, I had one surprise reboot in the time I have used it. No issues (so far) with installing or using any apps including banking. Much lower use of storage, I have 6GB free.
Same : Battery life is about the same as before.
Gaps : Cannot encrypt, VOLTE doesn't work (which may become a big issue for T-Mobile and AT&T soon), when being used the phone gets much warmer than it did before and the wifi setting randomly turns off.
Next Steps: I am going to try Lineage which has released some fixes for the WIFI issue and report back.
I'm trying to follow the instructions as per this guide for the tmo version of G6 (H87220g) and I'm running into a roadblock on the recovery flash:
[[email protected] tmp]$ mkdir skyhawk
[[email protected] tmp]$ cd skyhawk && 7z x ../SHRP_v2.3.2_us997-233920072020.zip
[[email protected] skyhawk]$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Sending 'recovery' (36936 KB) OKAY [ 1.252s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I downloaded the Skyhawk zip from the PA download link, unzipped it and used the recovery.img file found inside the zip as part of the fastboot command. Is this incorrect ?
Yes, you need the recovery.img file to flash via fastboot. Have you successfully unlocked the boot loader? You cannot replace recovery without unlocking.
You also need to ensure you have the appropriate files for your phone I have a US997 but as you have H872 you would need skyhawk for the H872 in the notes above you are still using US997.
bootloader is unlocked as per:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/unlock-bootloader-tmo-t3578099
fastboot flash is failing and I'm not the only one it seems like based on comments here and reddit...
I gonna try out @runningnak3d guide and see if that works...
This guide is for the US997. The H872 has a much more complicated process to install recovery : https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/root-h872-to-including-11g-t3775518
After few day i find out solution how to install custom ROM to my Lenovo tablet. I think its first guide how to do it because every other guides were for TB2-X30F but not for TB2-X30L.

my sister is very grateful
Thank you very much.
What build date has this rom? Sec. patches?
Can you please post your local manifest?
Very interesting guide, unfortunately the links don't work...
Is it possible to restore them?
Tanks. Max
I think its first guide how to do it because every other guides were for TB2-X30F but not for TB2-X30L.
I have only found lineage os for x30l, can someone please link lineage (Android 7) for x30f?
The difference between L and F is that L is the sim card variant. Ive read several people getting "insert sim card" when installing L on a F tablet. So I dont want messages like this.
Thanks for this tutorial. It was possible, to upgrade this old Tablet.
Do you know, if there is anything newer version for our Lenovo?

The tablet can also run on LineageOS 16 which is Android 9.
As I saw that the guys in the Russian 4PDA-Forum had been able to create a LiOS16, I was able to make some adjustments and compile a ROM with most recent security patches which now runs on my good old TB2-X30L / TAB2 A10-30:

it seems that google drives are off. Can someone re-upload please?
Hallo,
I have installed LiOS14-UNOFFICIAL-TB2-X30L.zip. The installation was without problems.
But I am having problem with WiFi - problem of MAC 02:00:00:00:00:00. I have tried a lots of tips but nothig worked. Two times I was succesfull to set some MAC, but always, after while, it was gone. No able to reproduce to set.
Is it really so difficult to set somehow the MAC addres for the WiFi?
As I understand the setting of the MAC differs between different releases of OS. Does anybody know how it work in this release? It should by known where this relaese expects the MAC setting. Am I right?
1. temporary succes: Setting MAC in system/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/wlan_mac.bin (I think. Its longer time ago and there was more attempts). It lasted for few months. It is not mine device so I don't know how it was handled.
2. temporary succes: I copied system/etc/firmware/wlan dir to system/vendor/firmware/wlan. I did it based on how it is in Samsung Galaxy S4 mini with Lineage 16. It worked. After restart I had to swith off and on the airplane mode to set MAC. After few attempts it was gone. No able to reproduce to set the MAC.
I am not Linux expert

Thank you very much, install your rom on my TB2-X30F and it goes very well, the only drawback that I present is that the wifi is very slow but the rom is excellent, thank you very much for your work.

After few day i find out solution how to install custom ROM to my Lenovo tablet. I think its first guide how to do it because every other guides were for TB2-X30F but not for TB2-X30L.
Installation guide:
FILES TO DOWNLOAD:
ALL FILES: https:// drive.google.com/drive/folders/1heVQAryphuXNVt5k-HsUhfRrVr9MV34D
ALL LINKS WORK ! JUST DELETE THE SPACE BEFORE drive.google.com...
1) On the tablet, at Settings, you must activate on the Developer Options the Bootloader Unlock (OEM unlocking) and USB debugging. Uncheck Verify apps over USB.
How to unlock Developer: https: //youtu.be/g5wkFAWDsg0
2) Download these files directly to your Android device, not to SD card.
a) https:// drive.google.com/file/d/1230xFbPA7DOGMhuX59yagEd6w1gNCI4o/view SuperSU-v2.79.zip (for me working only v2.79)

11) Download the https:// drive.google.com/file/d/15IH55DgmD6SmlILjTukGeNcmYgUPcmCg/view recovery.img(its TWRP version for Lenovo Tab2 x30f so it wont work properly) and copy it into folder adb at local disk C (installed on step 7)
12) Run CMD with administrator and type cd C:\adb to select the adb folder.
13) In cmd type fastboot unlock-go and press enter. In case this command does not work, please try fastboot -s or fastboot oem unlock-go or fastboot oem unlock .

adb sideload LiOS14-UNOFFICIAL-TB2-X30L.zip
Now wait for finish the installation. If its installed corectly you will see Succesful at the top.
19) Repeate step number 15 and again install SuperSU-v2.79.zip (In installation you will see Boot image patcher)
20) Unplug your tablet from PC. And reboot it. First reboot may take 5-10 minutes and can reboot few times. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS.
