"All,
In recognition of customer loyalty, Lenovo is providing extended coverage for ThinkPad Tablet customers who have experienced a hung boot condition, Unable to “mount a partition” or “failed to mount partition” error conditions that cannot be resolved through use of the reset button (please see hardware maintenance manual) or factory reset proceedure (this will wipe all data). Additional coverage outside of warranty for these symptoms is available through Lenovo service through August 31, 2014. Please contact Lenovo support in your country for assistance.
If you need additional assistance after contacting service, please contact me via PM.
I'm marking this as the official solution to this discussion and closing this discussion.
Thanks
Mark"
Please, if you have a bricked Thinkpad Tablet 1, that can access the Recovery Menu, but that can not recover the image, You need to contact your "Lenovo support in your country for assistance" or if they don't know about this "extended coverage" send a PM to Mark fast through Lenovo's forums. But this "Extended coverage" ends on August 31, 2014.
I hope that it helps to some users that has this tablet bricked.

[Q] DVP - 801812DC Error during update

Hello,
Oct, 4th, my zune pop up the Mango Update notification for DVP.
Anyway, I cannot complete the update 7.0.7403.0.
During the backup step (step 7 of 10) when the progress is 87%, it regress to restarting the phone (step 1 of 2)
I tried everything I could including disconnect and remove battery, delete many contents, forget the phone, reinstall zune, hard reset.
Still, the problem is the same "zune cannot create a backup for my phone"
I also see that the percents when the update "fail" are different, depend on how many contents I keep.
After I reset the phone and do everything I could, the percent is at 87%.
Zune tell me that it is....
Error Code 801812DC
(see attachments)
I cannot find any solution from anywhere, nor MS troubleshoot. Here I found some question about LG Quantum during NoDo, and the solution is replacement.
I'm in Thailand, where DVP is rarely found. There is authorised reseller no service centre for this phone model. Dell Thailand does not import this model and they do not provide support for Dell mobile.
Every past updates I did via Zune software, the phone rom never been manually modified. Every apps in my phone also from Zune Marketplace. And my phone is not fake. (someone has already ask me before)
I'm completely desperate now. My mobile still function, but I really want Mango.
What should I do?
Here is the information
Phone manufacturer: Dell
Phone model: Dell Venue Pro (16 GB)
Mobile Operator: Truemove (a Thai operator), the phone is Generic-US
Phone operating system version: 7.0.7392.0
Zune software version: 4.8.2345.0
Computer operating system version: Windows 7 (32-bit)
PS: I have also posted in MS Answer, but no one answer
My as doing the same thing. This worked for me:# Unplug the USB cable from the phone.
# Press and hold the Power button for 5 seconds until the message Goodbye! appears.
# Press button again to turn the phone back on. As soon as the phone turns on and vibrates, press and hold the Camera button until the "Connect to PC" screen appears. It may take a few moments for this to appear. Once the screen appears, you may release the Camera
# Reconnect your phone using the USB cable. Note* Make sure you start pressing camera button as soon as restart phone in step above. This procedure will update your phones driver and allow you to upate to mango.

Here's the site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2484484
Not work
I have tried that.
It appeared another Error Code C101002E
It returned to normal when being disconnected, and 801812DC occurred again.
I also downloaded WP Support tool to resolve the C101002E, according to MS troubleshoot. It didn't work, the tool told me that it couldn't be recovered and I had to contact technical support.
I have asked Dell Thailand, as I expected, They do not provide service for mobiles and I have to find the solution myself.
If you have more suggestion, please...

Requesting APX/USB Drivers to Complete Unbricking Process

Hello All,
My sincere apologies at taking ya'll away from more complex issues, I have however run into a roadblock which some considerable internet use has failed to surmount. Currently I'm dealing with a non-responsive a500, a few years old, which unexpectedly decided to give out one day. I've had great success with the assistance of the xda community for years, (particularly my original Galaxy S - Captivate). I'm hoping this experience will result in similar ends.
Anyway, it's stuck on the Acer Logo, a simple hard reset results in a red-dead droid (not sure if it is referred to as a Status Six or Seven Error). I proceeded to recover my UID and SBK through the process described by the most talented eppeP and srbeen some time back. I'm working from an otherwise unmodified, unrooted ICS build - at least prior to its untimely demise.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751978
While I can successfully enter APX mode with the bricked a500, Windows 7's stock drivers do not include APX support, or so it would seem. I have attempted for some time to upgrade the necessary drivers (USB/APX) of my ICONIA, but have been met with the "Service Unavailable" error on the Acer Support Site. Windows 7 refuses to automatically download the APX driver and any google search is far too muddled with false advertising to be of use (though I have tried nonetheless).
At this point I"m left with a considerable degree of frustration as the possibility of a working device continues to be thwarted by unbearable customer service. If anyone would kindly provide a working link to the most recent A500 APX and USB drivers for Windows 7, I would be incredibly grateful. I'm sure such a measure would be helpful to many owners, especially as our devices reach "end of life" status. My apologies if I simply missed a stickied thread somewhere. Again, it was not my intention to waste anyone's time.
I suppose I should have expected a lackluster response given this particular forum's age... or I might simply be getting the cold shoulder from everyone. If mentioning this makes any difference to anyone, I suppose it would have been worth it.
Before making my request in my original post, I had in fact attempted to flash via the Universal Naked APX Driver provided by 1WayJohnny.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...nt/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t2513339
Using this driver allowed V8.bat/NVFlash to "recognize" my A500 (without windows confirming it had been plugged in mind you) momentarily - the program outputted an error "USB Write Failed", "No APX Device Connected" & "Connection Failed".
I later attempted to use A500APXFlash developed by blackthund3r. This program automatically offered to install USB drivers for my A500, along with the required APX driver (apparently it couldn't confirm prior driver installation). Despite my tablet entering APX mode (it displays a blank screen with a corresponding LED, and at some point in the past few attempts at flashing, was momentarily recognized as an APX device) no procedure recognizes this fact.
This has been going on for days. I am at wits end and am most sincerely pleading for someone to assist me. Maybe I don't need drivers, maybe I should be able to find them on my own. I dunno. If someone would give me any heads up I would appreciate it greatly. I've been told that since my tablet was otherwise functioning normally prior to its bricking, it might be a hardware problem, I would like to be sure though. Wouldn't you?
Acer drivers for WIN7
I couldn't install the drivers on Tiny Win 7. The installer bugs with a blank error message.
So I downloaded the package USB_Acer_1.00.0524_A30H_A31H_A32H_A500_A501.zip
Launched the installer
monitor your 'temp' folder on user/local/...
find the ACER ICONIA 3G DRIVER INSTALL .msi and quickly copy it somewhere else before the installer bugs & erases the temp files
Then use "lessmsi-v1.3.zip", a MSI file extractor to extract all drivers from the MSI
Right click on the icon with the yellow exclamation mark in the Win 7 device manager, select update driver and select the folder where we extracted the drivers.
Now, when in APX mode, the tablet appears as "Acer USB Boot-recovery driver"

READ CAREFULLY AND BE WARNED BEFORE ANYTHING:
THIS CAN HARD-BRICK YOUR DEVICE AND I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT!
use it only if you must or not at all
you can read this for some details about what bricks are so you understand what you can get into
this is for all Yoga Tab 2 models 830, 1050, 1380 (regardless of the submodel F,L,LC)
it restores(downgrades) your bios firmware from whatever Lollipop version to the original/genuine one from the latest KitKat stock rom released by Lenovo (and all the latest KitKat stock rom's have 150422 in the rom filename, ie April 15, 2015 and nothing not even minor OTA's were released after this date for KitKat, next ones upgraded KitKat to Lollipop)
useful to:
1. those who want to return back to the KitKat stock rom from Lollipop (if you simply flash back the KitKat stock rom files and you are still on Lollipop bios firmware you will softbrick as the Lollipop bios is a x64 version while the KitKat loader/kernel are ia32 so you will get stuck at efi shells, bios screen etc)
2. those who took the Lollipop OTA, succeded, but had in time problems (bricked their device) and cannot flash a Lollipop stock rom as they don't have one (not being released by Lenovo/available yet and at least some 830 and 1380 models are in this situation), so they must flash back KitKat stock rom and after take the OTA to Lollipop (and the KitKat flashing part put's them in the same situation as those from p1.)
3. those who tried to take the Lollipop OTA and had problems and they tried to flash KitKat stock rom and yet they are failing (this could be due to problems in the updating while OTA was applied, yet could be that their bios firmware was updated to Lollipop version)
4. those who want to test stuff (going down/up between versions) ... you name it...
how to use it:
1. first download and extract the corresponding tool for your device (830 and 1050 models share the same bios firmware so they have a common tool), while at this you can watch the little attached recording i made with the tool restoring the bios for my 1380F tab so you know what to expect when you run it. USE THE TOOL THAT MATCHES/CORRESPONDS TO YOUR MODEL, you can hard-brick if for eg you use the 1380 one on a 1050 model (didn't even tried but nothing good can happen)
2. place your tab in the DnX mode: power off (by force if you have to), press and hold both VolUp and VolDown butons, keep them pressed, now press Pwr to start and release Pwr when it turns on/buzz (but keep holding pressed Vol buttons), in a few seconds your screen will display "Fastboot starting..." and it will hold on that, now you can release the Vols (you are in DnX mode). you must get that message, try again the whole sequence until you succed, don't move on until you have that "Fastboot starting..." on your screen.
3. run the tool (you must have the intel drivers installed, if you flashed to your tab at some point you should have them already), follow the messages i think it's quite easy and straightforward, in a few minutes you will be done and having a brand new kKitKat bios firmware on your tab
(3) if while running it hangs on the "Preparing to push files..." message, and your tab starts to the whatever error message you had before it means that you already have a KitKat bios (the tool works only with the Lollipop bios firmware) so you don't need to restore the bios, you can flash stock KitKat rom directly (in this scenario the tool doesn't modify anything on your tab)
4. when it finishes the tool will automatically reboot your tablet, leave it for a few seconds to start (it will most likely go ninto some efi shell, or bios screen whatever your old files were) afterwards turn it off (long press Pwr) and that's it
5. you can now start in DnX mode again and flash your stock KitKat rom (this step is quite known by now so i won't detail it, there's a lot of info on that in other threads), take OTA's, eat candies... whatever you like
i must warn you again, while i tested this tool (i think i moved from KitKat to Lollipop and back at least 20 times and never had any issue with it) you are the only responsible if something bad could happen, this is playing with bios (and any mistake will hard-brick your tab so you will have to send it to a service for fixing). make sure you have enough battery (while i used the tool even when i was with 5% on my battery i would not recommend, i say at least a 30-40%, the process runs only for 2-3 minutes so that should not be an issue). and of course once it started the flashing DO NOT EVEN THINK OF INTERRUPTING! (you could close other software on your PC that maybe can hang your computer while flashing.. you got the point)
Good Luck!
edit: i already have messages about successful bios restoring (as expected no? ) but failing on completing the OTA to Lollipop update after flashing anew the KitKat stock rom. to them and to all of you people who are going to Lollipop from your newly flashed stock KitKat: SET YOUR COUNTRY CODE!!! after you flash back stock kitkaton the first boot input ####6020# in your contacts and a dialog will pop from which you MUST choose a country (no matter which one, preferably yours or a close one), then after the tab reboots for updating the region and comes back to Android check that you have a country code set by entering #### 59930# and it should show the code you chosed. if you take the OTA without a country set you will FAIL! if you failed on your OTA to Lollipop flash anew the stock KitKat rom and set the country code
also do not take an OTA if your device is rooted, always UNROOT first then take the update, and you can root back after or just don't root until you finished the whole Android installing and OTA updates

thank you! i had the boot to bios problem after trying some not-smart things. after spending an hour on the phone with lenovo this morning getting a repair authorization, i printed out the label. i don't need to send in my 1380f now.
your app fixed that and i was able to flash to kitkat and then upgrade to lollipop.
Works perfect! Thanks!

My 1050F cannot boot for long time, I posted the problem(http://forum.xda-developers.com/thinkpad-tablet/general/help-1050f-dead-t3188696) but no one answered me. Today I was very excited to find this post and read it carefully, then tried to do it. But just after the sending progress started (the "xx%" progress began)for about 10 seconds, the program "restore-kitkat-bios-830_1050" vanished(Maybe forced teminated by Windows? I ran the "restore-kitkat-bios-830_1050" after a new reboot of Windows). I waited for about 3 minutes, the "restore-kitkat-bios-830_1050" program still didn't appear, and the tab hanging on a normal picture ( I don't remember, probably a recovery stage picture? but I remember the last line is "the result is Okay"). So I had to disconnct the tab from the computer, and powered it off. Then I try to power it on, but sadly find it cannot boot to any screen. In a dark room, I find the backlight of the tab is on when I pressed the power button, but there is no text or picture on it, regardless of whether I press the power button independently, or press the power button together with any volume button(s).
Now the tablet seemingly has changed into a REAL brick (or hardware brick?). How can I rescue it? The only way is to send it to a service?

i've seen the post with the problem you had, now the thing is on a "normal" bricked tablet (meaning soft bricked one) your tab never hangs at the screen to which you're referring to (Powered by Android) it will always move on (to some error message, bios etc). the same tool was used by me and others (including for your 1050F model last one I recall is @Einwood) and never had issues (until now) so imo it's very unlikely that the problem was from the tool (it's task is quite simple and don;t see what could go wrong) something interrupted the flashing process. also you said you tried both lollipop and kiktkat rom flashing and failed and at least one of them should have worked (the roms are flashed using bios dnx as start) so the issues are with your tab hardware most likely.
but all that is irrelevant now... if it doesn't boot at all and you cannot get it to show ANY message at all (white Lenovo logo doesn't show up when you power on nor does it buzz when pwr on) then service is the only solution
@ The Others: please post your tab model too when posting
Thank you so much for such detailed analysis, but I cannot figure out why the hardware has problem. Yes, now it cannot show ANYTHING, white Lenovo logo doesn't show up nor does it buzz when pwr on. Anyway, I think I have no choice except the official repairment now.
I'm trying to find the LENOVO service sites in Canada, but their Canada official site has no such information, on the contrast, its website is full of sale/order/payment information. I think I should re-think about this company.
Thank you again for the reply.

Yes, once i talked to them (about 5 minutes) they emailed me all i needed and i just had to find a local fedex dropoff center. They boxed it and i got it back in 6 days.... this seems to be a common thing for them....

You are my lifesaver and I just can not thank you enough @ionioni
how can you make a file like restore-kitkat-bios-1380.zip ??!! you are such a genius !! :good:
We will never be able to flash it back to KitKat Bios without this zip file !! :crying:
But why don't we need to flash it back to Kitkat Bios on my Samsung Note 3, S5, Note 10.1 (2014 version) and Nexus 9 ?!!
thank you very much for your hard work again and keep up the good work pls
this was on my inbox and it should continue publicly maybe others can benefit

I'm wondering what your flashing to the tablet with your tool, I have a Lenovo S8-50F and lollipop is pretty abysmal on it, so I'm wondering what your flashing to downgrade the bios so I can try it on the S8, since its very very similar to the 830.

you should NOT use the tool unless it is made exactly for your model, or you most likely will hard-brick. moreover Lenovo uses an in-cpu module for digitally checking the authenticity of the firmware you have on your board at pwr on time and even if you have a bios that would work on your model if it is signed with another key it will cause a hard-brick (the measured boot module will refuse to load the IBB in the new bios).
for eg if one writes the 1051 windows variant of bios on the 1050 android one (they are identical in hardware) it hard-bricks (tested).
send me a link to the latest KK stock rom for your device and i will check on it.
That is what happend to me. My loved 1380f is hard-bricked. Only the white lamp is blinking and it doesn't turn on anymore.
Is there a possibility to repair it or can i throw it in the garbage? Please give me an advice. Thank you very much.

not so much you can do, the hardware is fine, it just got the wrong firmware in it... somehow you must rewrite the bios but you cannot do that from the outside (ie by software means) without being able to boot at least in DnX mode. you can check quickly ... if after you PwrOn (well.. after you long press Pwr button as at this moment Powered On of Off are werid concepts ) you don't get NOTHING on your display (ye not even the Lenovo -> Powered by Android white/black logo) than that's it (try maybe to see if somehow DnX didn't got hooked by entering a fastboot devices and see if by some miraccle you don't see your device there)
your device must be opened by a repairing service tech (especially if he is on warranty), you could do it yourself (i did) but you need the appropiate tools and know/how otherwise from a hard-bricked yet recoverable (the hardware is ok) you will transform it into just a paper holder
updated kitkat bios restore tool to version 2 (foolproof version). read the main thread post at the beginning.
Good morning.
Please let me introduce my situation. I use Lenovo Yoga tablet 2 Pro. On 9-th of november I updated Android to 5.0.1. Unfortunately, one of my commercial aps now can not make a connection with external device (no appropriate information about USB connection is appeared).
I am affraid the problem lies on the Android 5.0.1 system. Before that everything had worked perfect.
That is way I decided to downgrade to the Androix 4.x.
I found above treads, but have some doubts.
Is above tool downgrade my system to Android 4.x or do I need to do some additional operations, to get back to the Android 4.x?
In the section - how to use it (point 5) we can read:
5. you can now start in DnX mode again and flash your stock KitKat rom (this step is quite known by now so i won't detail it, there's a lot of info on that in other threads), take OTA's, eat candies... whatever you like

you must:
1. Downgrade the bios using the restoring tool (you mention "Yoga Tab 2 Pro" so you must use the 1380 version), and you must do that so you can flash KitKat stock rom on your tablet (if you try to flash directly, without the bios downgrade it will fail and you will soft-brick your tablet)
2. After restoring the bios, download from here your stock KitKat rom and extract
3. Flash using Intel Phone Flash Tool (open with it the "flash.xml" from the target_bin directory of the extracted archive). the Intel Tool can be found in the tools directory of the same extracted archive.
4. After you finished sotck KitKat flashing, remember to set your contry code (####6020# in Contacts), also it's not necessary to make your settings wifi etc before you set your country code as they will anyway going to be deleted (a factory reset is performed on country code setting operation). if you don't set a country code you will fail when upgrading to Lollipop.
5. Update using the Lollipop OTA or stay on KitKat
Thank you for explanation.
I download system, installed Phone Flash Tool, open it and chose flash.xml, but after connecting my YT2Pro I can not see device specific with "Start to flash" button in the Device list area of the program.
see below screen. Is this screen looks as it should? (ups, unfortunately I can not post images, because I am new user).
One more thing, tablet should be turned off during flashing?
Right now my tablet is connected to the laptop by USB. It is not switched off and charging is in progress (laptop does not see my tablet as an additional disc/device).
Is above status correct?

S5000-F recovery request (desperate's cry)

Dear XDA members.
Things started going wrong along with failed rooting procedure. This made the device to hang on manufacturer's logo (recovery availiable).
Then I've tried to follow "how-to-flashing-lenovo-s5000-via-spft" @ zonexfirmware.blogspot.com; describing the use of SPFT to flash rom from PC. Unfortunately "PMT changed for the ROM" error made me to "format whole flash except Bootloader". This allowed to flash rom in "Download Mode" via SPFT.
Now the rom still does not boot, and additionally when trying to enter recovery mode I see only "factory mode".
So, standing on the edge I'm hesitating. Probably Firmware upgrade mode or Format All + Download would solve the problem. But things may go also the other way (much like considering my latest results).
At this point I'm even not sure whether the rom linked in the guide suits my device.
Please kindly advise.
Format All + Download almost bricked the tablet.
Has anyone an idea what is wrong with this procedure? The device is not booting and have the factory mode instead recovery mode stikk,

Hello everyone,
Today a friend gave a tablet to try to fix the error of "Could not do normal boot, invalid kernel length". After I search the almighty google and all the topics from xda-developers, I've tried the solution from here -> watch?v=llhVLMMd_HU
Unfortunately the tablet was having the FRP mode ON (..yay ) So i've tried somehow to remove it, and of course i failed miserably BUT sometime happen, on an reboot of the tablet, the tablet went into a mode of Deleting / Erasing of what was on the tablet (don't know why, but was a blue screen with android logo, and the only messages that we're shown was, Erasing and Apply Update)
And after a reboot, the end. The screen doesn't turn on, and if I connect the USB to PC, it appears an Exynos7870.
Anyone any Idea how can I .. fix this problem so I can get back into fixing the other one (hehe) ?
I've searched on Google and I've found a couple of links on GitHub but I have no idea how can I install them on the Tablet ,or what Drive should I use, because currently the onles from Samsung page doesn't work.
github. /Exynos7870
github /Exynos7870/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7870
Hope someone can guide me / help me.
Regards,
Mircea

For who's having the same problem, unfortunately I've been to the Samsung Repair Company, and only if i change the motherboard they can fix the problem, and the cost of the repair doesn't worth it

They ALWAYS say they have to replace the motherboard no matter what the issue.
Just recently they told a J6 owner he needed to replace his motherboard at 160 euros.
I said not and got his device working for nothing.
Haven't you considered that the battery may be flat?
The T585 isn't that difficult to bypass FRP.
