[Q] [IdeaTab A1000F] Driver disconnects after few seconds

Hi, i need some help. I have Lenovo Ideatab A1000-F with installed TWRP recovery, but i have one problem. If i connect turned off tablet on PC, the preloader (PreLoader USB VCOM Port) driver starts, but then after few seconds disconnects and tablet starts charging trough USB ... I want to flash something (AllegroROM) to it but when i have only 2-4 seconds its kinda bad ... I have installed all kind of drivers and trying it againg and again, but nothing works. (I think the problem is that i cant remove battery to avoid charging.. or? ) Maybe screenshot helps. Please help. Thanks.

TWRP link is down, mind passing on a new one

[ROM][KITKAT][UNOFFICIAL] Cyanogenmod 11 for SM-T805 LTE 16gb

This is a Cyangenomod rom for 10.5 Galaxy TAB S SM-T805 LTE.
Ive built this from nvertigo67 tree for SM-T800 so he deserves all the credit.
25/03/15 Updated
Switched to nvertigo67 current-12.0 kernel
Fixed Kodi/XBMC touch issue
Changed from google to samsung MTP driver.
21/03/15 Update, fixed Phone call audio only coming through left speaker
20/03/15 Update, fixed Dialer crash.
19/03/15 Updated, fixed a few issues.
Power off charging is now working
Reboot recovery is working, I did have to edit the java code to make this work, seems a recent change in CM caused this, possibly a bug in cm?
Wifi hotspot fixed.
Added f2fs support to kernel, recovery also updated, have not fully tested changing filesystem to f2fs. Edit. Seems like it will require a special built rom and recovery to work, I will look at this when I start running out of bugs to fix
Many other minor fixes.
Not Working:
In call audio only coming through left speaker
Dialer app chashing on making or receiving a call
Power off charging, boots into recovery.
Advanced reboot menu, wont reboot into recovery, though adb reboot recovery works. Not sure whats going on here.
Modem/Radio, wanted to get the rom working first and will now continue to get the radio up.
Camera, This could be a bug in CM from what I have googled. edit There is a fix, link down beow.
I find this tablet is so much better with this ROM , like many I hate Samsung's TouchWiz. Everything is so much smoother and responsive now.
To Install:
Flash TWRP Recovery First with odin, Follow this Cf-Autoroot guide and substitute CF-Auto-Root.tar with my recovery TWRP_SM-T805.tar downloaded from my google drive.
Once recovery is installed transfer the CM11 rom zip to your internal sdcard, also grab GAPPS http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps and have that on your SD card also,
Optional grab supersu also.
Boot into recovery by powering off and holding down home, volume up and power till recovery starts.
Once in TWRP Recovery pick Install, choose the rom and gapps to install at the same time. Flash
After install finished we need to do a wipe, so go back to the main screen and choose wipe.
Reboot, Good luck.
I don't have a lot of time to answer questions, I will do my best to check back regularly.
Here is my github, It is upto date with my builds now. https://github.com/Andrewt12 )

For camera take a look at the last 4 commits (the reverts) from here: https://github.com/nvertigo/android_packages_apps_Camera2/commits/cm-11.0
I'm so involved in cm12 developing that I don't know if you can just use my repo, or if you have to rebase/reaply, but that is what breaks camerawraper on our device. The opting out like on picasso don't work for chagallwifi, so I think chagalllte suffers from the same issue. Hope this helps.

@nvertigo67, Thanks, that should help me get the Camera issue sorted. Good work btw, this rom is very stable.
@all, I have the modem working now. Calls and data are working. In the next few days I will post an updated rom and device files on github. I will also post clearer install instructions
@LoVeRice, Unsure about the t705, It could be mostly the same but may have small differences, I will download a stock rom when I get a chance and have a look.

Congrats. Getting voice and data working is a great job! For klimtlte: chagallwifi and klimtwifi differ subtile, but they DIFFER (i.e. sound, capacitive keys). If you really want to try klimtlte too, you should have a look at @eousphoros gits.

.... very good. Waiting to put new version on my T-805..
Thanks a lot!

You come from a Wifi-only rom, s.a CM-12?
Your tablet is defined as a wifi. You can edit the package script in the zip to remove the control
Skickat från min SM-T805 via Tapatalk

I have tested a wifi only cm11 package, yes. It runs on my Tab very good without 3G option... Wifi only. Iam happy it comes an CM11 for T805. OK wich files must editiding to removed the control? I will tested it

Hi meexx, You will need to use my twrp, different partition size than chagallwifi, thats also why it throws an error, as you installed chagallwifi twrp and it is looking for the wifi rom.
Just hold off for now though, my latest has many fixes to what I posted. I will hopefully upload later today, got to finish my chores first otherwise I will be in trouble with the wife for spending too much time on the computer.

Ok OK........ Greeting your wife we waiting for you. Can you make a Link to your twrp version? When this my problem is then i flash your twrp with odin and all is good, I hope so. Have a nice weekend.......... and Thanks for your work

Frequently asked questions (Beginners guide through forum) A6000

I don't want to be rude but I am starting to get a little annoyed with same questions repeating over and over on all threads so i decided to post some answers here where they could be easily accessed.
1. Q:""Can i flash this Marshmallow/Lollipop/Nougat rom over my stock KitKat?"
A:The answer in most cases is that you cant (except in ED300 CM12.1 Rom but its still preferred that you flash stock Lollipop firmware separately).For those who don't want to waste their time flashing Stock rom there is an alternative flash-able zip could be found here
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...itkat-lolipop-firmware-base-switcher-t3249046 - for A6000
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/firmware-base-switcher-a6000-plus-t3411914 - for A6000 Plus.
2.Q:"Where can i find TWRP recovery for my firmware?"
A:Here you go
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/twrp-development-wt86518-t3498524 - Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat recovery developed by TingyiChen
- https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2xkkOmw_M2NNXlVYnFYZnRIZHc?usp=sharing - made by SevenMaxs
TWRP 2.8.6.1 Is KitKat only compatible recovery
TWRP 2.8.7.7 Is Lollipop only compatible recovery
TWRP 3.0.2.0 Is Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat compatible recovery
*I couldn't find official links so i uploaded files to my google drive if any developer has a problem with this he can DM me and i will update the links *
3.Q:"Does this rom support VoLTE?"
A:So long there isnt a rom that supports VoLTE (As far as i know).There is some lib or source code problem with VoLTE (idk i am not a developer).There is a thread about this topic here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/help/lenovo-a6000-plus-volte-support-t3418004 -
4.Q:"Does this rom/kernel support OTG?"
A:No there is not.OTG support is a kernel feature that isnt available for our device.Maybe devharsh1998 is working on this maybe he isnt who knows be patient.
5.Q"Which rom is the best?"
A:Answer for this question is subjective you can always easily try couple of them.I like mshoaib7 ports i am currently on Nexus Experience ROM but i plan on switching to nougat soon.
6.Q"ED300 links aren't working?"
A:ED300 isn't developing for our device anymore and his thread links are not working but you can try some of the files that are on his androidfilehost folder
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=96089
This isn't tested by me and since the development stopped they are not recommended since bugs can't be fixed anymore.
7.Q"My phone is bricked heeeellllppppp?!?!"
A:If you are stuck on a splash screen/bootlogo
Can you enter recovery by restarting your phone and holding vol+ and vol-.If answer is yes just reflash the rom or try different one.If you cant enter recovery mode but can enter fastboot mod by holding vol - when restarting the device then follow this quide :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/how-to-bring-phone-to-life-fastboot-t3561070
If your phone is showing only black screen or isnt booting at all you can try QFIL unbricking method
Disclaimer:
Nothing of this is my work all credits go to the developers i am just trying to make it easier for the developers and to try and answer noobier questions that are flooding the development threads.If you think some answers need further explanations or you have some more questions feel free to PM me.Enjoy roms and happy flashing

8.Q:How to change cache and data to f2fs
A:You need to have a recovery that supports f2fs thats burgexx and tingychan 3.0.3.0 and 3.0.2.0 twrp
Be ware all your data will be wiped!
Step 1: go to wipe format data type yes and wipe all
Step 2: Comeback slide the option "Slide to do factory Reset"
Step 3: Go to Advanced Wipe Section Select all Partitions "Expect SD-Card/External Storage"
Step 4: Wipe them all
Step 5: after wipe is complete select cache "Click on change file system type" and you will find f2fs option there hit it
Step 6: Do same for data that is Select "data " click "Change File System type" hit f2fs
Step 7: Flash Latest Rom & Gapps Reboot enjoy
Thanks to @somnath pal for his short but clear tutorial
Also you need to be sure that rom that you plan on using suports f2fs (dev harsh roms and some of the mshoaib ports)
And also kernel (for now only Phantom-Reborn)
9.Q:My IMEI is lost what should i do??!
A:Follow this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/fix-signal-imei-lenovo-a6000-a6000-via-t3421021
10.Q:How to flash official firmware/rom?
A: Go to this thread,https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/how-to/lenovo-a6010-plus-stock-rom-t3407963
find ROM for your device download it.Unpack zip transfer system.zip and yourregion.zip (yourregion.zip is optional and if you live in india its probably india.zip) and flash it in TWRP recovery.Go to wipe, swipe to factory reset then go to install and select system.zip ,swipe to install it then select yourregion.zip and swipe again,reboot.If you are having problems with TWRP flash stock recovery via fastboot or flashify etc..

Thanks for this thread but there are still a lot of noobs asking for volte

Redmi 2(1Gb ram,8gb storage,2014818 model indian variant)

I have a redmi 2 as mentioned in the title, i have rooted it and using it. i tried flashing all custom roms, from lolipop to nougat. it doesnt seem to respond properly, too many random reboots, or bootloops.
so i wanted to flash the stock firmware and downloaded from mi website. I am unable to get my phone detected on the mi flash what so ever. really would appreciate if i can get some help, to flash fastboot rom. also some method to flash a good daily driver custom rom (volte support is not mandatory) just LTE working is fine.
i have other devices where i am able to tinker, except this. I flashed a redmi note3 recently too, but not able to get this redmi2 appear on mi flash.
thanks in advance

I think i can help you.
First uninstall mi flash
Assuming that you are using windows 8.1 or above, you first have to set the test signing mode off.
Press Start->Search->cmd then right-click on it and click Run as administrator. In the CMD window type this
bcdedit /set testsigning on
and press enter. Restart PC.
Now reinstall mi flash again. when installing there might be 3 - 4 warnings about installing unsigned drivers. install them anyway.
Now connect your Redmi 2 in fastboot mode. connect it with a proper usb cable to the system and then open mi flash. Press refresh on the mi flash application. Your device must be listed.
If not press start and select restart while holding down the shift button. Then select troubleshooting. In the advanced startup menu, select startup settings. Press restart. In the coming boot options menu, press 7 or f7. Now open mi flash and press refresh. Device must now be listed. hope it helps.
As for a daily driver rom, i would suggest cyanogenmod 14.1 nightly on 25.12.2016( the last nightly date ). VOLte works in my device. It will if you have flashed the lollipop firmware on your phone previously.

First uninstall mi flash
Assuming that you are using windows 8.1 or above, you first have to set the test signing mode off.
Press Start->Search->cmd then right-click on it and click Run as administrator. In the CMD window type this
bcdedit /set testsigning on
and press enter. Restart PC.

thanks for your reply...would definitely give a try....i mean im still on stock miui based on kitkat, havent flashed the lolipop firmware. I am running on windows 10, but what is the settings you recommended me to change on startup? i dint get that one. . . .
thanks in advance

I tried all the procedures, reflashed the stock firmware..and then booted with the latest cm14.1 nightlies..still my phone keeps on rebooting every 1min..
is it because of volte?i come from stock miui without volte enabled, and dont want either. i need a very stable rom like miui. . .but lighter one.
just in case i forgot to mention..i have the Redmi2 without volte, and 1 gb variant.
thanks in advance

Mine is also the same version, i have tried validus, tesla, lineage os(installed rn working fine),RR didn't faced any random reboots.
Try to flash the redmi 2/prime firmware via boot-loader don't use mi flash flash via adb/fastboot if possible don't use custom kernel.
and a different battery if possible.
Tip:- remove sim cards before flashing and format data via TWRP then wipe every thing except micro sd. And don't restore back-up created via Titanium backup either via update.zip or from app (some roms don't support so the device keeps restarting)

Mine is the same model and for me everything works fine.And volte works bcz i fastbooted miui 8 lollipop.I have tried the same roms as you mentioned but whenever i place a call through volte it restarts.Sometimes it reboots after the call and sometimes when placing a call.Can't able to solve this annoying problem so i am back to miui bcz this is my primary device.But i hardly want naugat :crying:

Did you tired to repartition your device or use of custom kernel or any mod? Try to use another battery i think it might be creating prob. I will provide you proper link for fast boot firmware which i used. Might help you then you can try custom rom. Feel free to ask any question

Yes its Okay but select flash all option, you should try to flash removing sim cards and memory card i strongly recommend. You can keep memory card while flashing custom ROMs.

I think this may fix the reboot problem.Now i performed a super clean method of flashing. And can you explain why it is important to remove sim/memory cards while fastboot and flashing?

[stock] oreo 8.1

Hello Everyone,
A guy I met on telegram has been able to take a tarp backup for Oreo soak test when official Oreo comes out it will be a lot easier to install than this . This is a twrp back up taken .
STEPS:
1.Download https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15U7nnQaST4jf-vWP356aKflTrVGvbCIt?usp=sharing
2. Extract if Google made it a zip
3. Copy to an SD Card
4. Insert the SD card and boot to twrp
5. Go to restore
6. Go to the directory where you copied the files
7. Restore the OEM , SYSTEM , BOOT partitions
8. Go to wipe , Wipe dalvic cache , cache , data and internal
9. Reboot system
TIPS:
Don't moan about fingerprint sensor not recognised we know it's something to do with bootloader version
Don't restore boot logo
Make sure if you download the files individually you make a sub folder on internal or SD card called TWRP/BACKUPS/$
$= Backup name
Thanks to @Ukolino for the awesome backup

You're a crack

Sim , sorted

Here's a screenshot for proof

Resolveu amigo obrigado,!

So, the rom works everything except the fingerprint reader due to the bootloader version or what is the exact error? And what type of twrp do I need to use for the restore? Thanks for all. You are a crack

If anyone has issues unlocking (I wouldn't know since I haven't tried it), boot into twrp and go to the file manager, then delete the following file: root/data/system/locksettings.db
From there you can set up your own pin and fingerprint.

Only the fingerprint does not work? everything else yes?

Yes, everything else is working perfectly

Which twrp do I need guys? 32 or 64 bit? Thanks for your efforts!

Everything is fine, except when I make a call, the NET is dropped , because when the call is made within 2 seconds a message appears that says, you can not use the network at this time, probe going back to any other CUSTOM ROM and the call works well, but in the case of this ROM does not work, please have some solution?
since it works very well for me.
Thank you.

Configure ur apns search ur provider APN on Google and put it in manually these are soak tests therefore it's not perfect

I already did it, but it still totally fails, what I like is that people work at 100% and I like people, but hey, this is the first time that happens to me, even thanks, I will try to go back to sotck directly, and install direct by ABD update, maybe there if it works well.
