[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.

here is the original rom to flash
http://www*upl*me/hXNuzD
just change * with .
and for the second thing,which is the TWRP recovery,u need to get a simple free app from the google pstore called Recovery Tools and once u open it,and be4 that just pass on ur sd card this file,or on the usb internal memory the next file,just tap on the first line on the screen,in that app and load that file and executed,will finish pretty fast and don't even need to reboot,but when u get in the recovery mode,u will see the TWRP recovery mod and not the usual
download the file from here
http://www*upl*me/4MI55G
just change the * with .
If anyone can do at least a custom rom that will look different than the stock rom,i will thank him for life

[Q] Problem updating Lenovo Yoga 2 10"

Hey there
Today I got a message that I could update my Yoga 2 Tablet via the System Updater, but it doesn't quite work.
First of all about the device:
Lenovo Yoga 2 Tablet 1050F
Running current version: YT-1050F_USR_S0000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW
New version I wanna update to: YT2-1050F_USR_S1000031_1506111400_WW52_ROW
The problem:
I can download the update and when I press the install button, the tablet reboots into recovery mode. The update process begins and reaches 100% pretty quickly. After some time, it says the update failed though.
What I tried so far:
Downloading and updating again, it didn't work.
Download and starting the update on my PC with Lenovo Smart Assistant, didn't work.
Change the country code with the easyimage.zip file and the ####6020# code. I changed it to de (which is my usual country code) and us, but both did not help with the software update.
So... I really do not have any knowledge about android and can't seem to find another clue what to do next. Maybe someone of you can help me with this issue.

I posted the same issue already within the root thread. My device is rooted and after the download it started to upgrade and after reaching 100% it says it failed. I even did a factory reset - but SuperSu stays present and no upgrade is possible. I do not want to flash it via flashify - as bricking might be possible with that methode.
Maybe anyone has an idea how to proceed!?

Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to mention, my tablet isn't rooted and I tried a factory reset aswell, but nothing worked.
/E: So if anyone has the same problem: The solution is to flash the tablet to stack rom with PhoneFlashTool and update it afterwards. No problems since.

I flashed to stock rom downloaded from Russian Site with Phoneflashtool and tried to update. Update went to 100% then "failed". Any ideas anyone?

You missed presumably one important step after flashing the original rom, changing the country code prior OTA - which was posted already in another thread:
If system update fails do the following:
1. Flash stock firmware
2. Optionally you can wipe user data (I never did that) from DROIDBOOT
3. Go to contacts manager. Create some dummy contact if list is empty.
4. Go to Search / Find Contacts and enter ####6020#. It will ask you to select country code (first two latin letters, ignore Chinese).
5. Select what you want, then reboot.
6. Go to System Update
7. Install OTA update

Thanks. Will give that a go.
/E After the above it now tells me that I already have the latest version at YT2-1050F_USR-S000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW and that there is no update. Surely they have not taken the update offline??!
/EE I used the Update.zip I had previously downloaded (when the update first failed).
Placed this on the SD card and installed it via the update tools.
Thank you for those who helped me

Is there any chance You can upload this update.zip file? Thanks

Exactly the same problem. The ####6020# not work. Before m'y tablette was rooted but now after flash with easyimage, the stock ROM is OK but no update. I'm verry disapointed. Can you help me?
Thanks

1050F. Update fails.
Hi people, new guy here. I got redirected by some friendly dude.
Anyway, I apparantly have the same problem. Device has never been rooted. Tried the update as is, tried after a factory reset, tried #### contact hocus pocus, did not try anything involving a PC since I don't have one with that still has Windows and I can't seem to figure out Wine dependencies on my Debian box.
So, yeah, I guess I'll call the 1 euro a minute Lenovo support desk now. :laugh:
Anyway, thanks for having me, I'm subscribed to the thread . If I find out something before you guys do I'll let you know, but by all means don't stay up for it.

I run Arch on all my machines. I was able to use my virtualbox windoze 8.1 (It came on my laptop but never booted it... ) vm to use the intelphonetool. I flashed this stock rom here and then took the ota lollipop update. If you want to root this works in Linux.
BTW... temporary Windows vm's can be found here

Stuck on bios after FAILED Lollipop to Kitkat downgrade?
Repair Lollipop to KitKat bios error
1) Get the firmware kitkat-YT2-1050F_S0198_150422_ROW.7z - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347778640
2) Extract the firmware on PC
3) Download LtoKKxml.7z - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347783496
4) Extract or copy the content of this zip to where you extracted the firmware, so that the flash_*.xml are located next to all the image files of the firmware
5) Edit the file flash-LtoKK_PVT_810.xml and remove the the "command" tags which contain "format data" and "erase data" (the XML tag from <command> to </command>)
6) Reboot your tablet into fastboot mode (hold power up, down and power buttons)and use PhoneFlashTool to flash this flash-LtoKK_PVT_810.xml
7) Wait for it to finish and when the tablet restarts make sure it goes back to fastboot. If not then power off and restart into fastboot
8) Flash the flash.xml which is located in the folder. This will flash all the KitKat firmware components. That's it.
Be careful if you do something wrong then a brick is very likely. Hope this helps

Some info, probably well known, but have a question about it.
Hi,
I found a folder 'lenovoota' om my tablet. It contains a file called YT2-1050F_USR_S000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW_TO_YT2-1050F_USR_S100067_1507101258_WW52_ROW.zip
and one called packages.xml.
Both can't be opened / are corrupt. 0 bytes each.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, the update fails at download already, right? Would it be of any use to get these two files somewhere and replace the corrupted ones, then trigger the updating process again? Or is that a bit optimistic?
Thanks.
I'm a bit reluctant about the instructions above btw. I know what's what, but, you know, *very* old machine running debian, not sure how VM would perform. Apart from that I am certainly going to be overly focussed on getting the details right and brick my tablet by forgetting a whole major step or something. THanks anyway, though, appreciate the effort.

Yes, it shows as 0 bytes when it fails.
I captured the OTA file from the 1050F. It is usable only on a non-rooted stock device and those devices should take the OTA successfully anyway... But it had the files I needed to repair the bios error from trying to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat.
And I feel your pain with using a VM. My laptop is pretty new and I have my OEM copy of Windows on an external SSD so it works good enough.
I tried to port the Linux version of the Intel Phone Tool to Arch and it fails because of Ubuntu specific depens. You could certainly try it. If you get it installed and it see's your tablet you should be good. Let me know if it works.

Hi there
So, im here because i got problem with my Yoga 2 10" 1050L
Well, i was trying to update my Yoga to 5.0.1 but my tablet says that there is no update.
I was tryin to use Lenovo Smart Assistant - same, no update.
Then i do hard reset (power button + vol+), fresh install, and... kitkat do not recognize any new updates to lollipop.
Then i contact with Lenovo Poland, they was tryin to turn on update from servers for my device - nothing happens.
I got 2 devices, both from Poland, second one (i got two same Yogas, both 1050L) is running 5.0.1 without any problems (it update itself instantly after 1st boot).
So, what can i do now?! Is it any possibilities to get update *.zip file from anywhere, to do it manualy from settings menu in tablet?
Sorry for my bad english, its still not my main )

I've tried everything - someone please help

The Core Prime will not boot into recovery, or safe mode, or to the home screen. The only way to sometimes get it into download mode is leave it plugged into the wall charger for a couple minutes, then it will SOMETIMES go into download mode to charge. Holding down every combination of keys does not work, please don't suggest holding down keys.
All I ever see is a mmc confirmation fail movinand checksum confirmation fail error no matter what I try. I never see the Samsung intro, boot intro, or tracfone intro anymore, just a black screen that leads to that error message in red letters.
Regardless of which computer or cable I use, Windows never sees the phone. Doesn't try to install the drivers, doesn't make a sound that something was plugged in, nothing shows up in device manager, nothing (even in download mode)
I called 800 Samsung (4 times asking the same thing to different people to make sure I didn't just get helped by a noob over the phone). I went and talked to the Samsung guys inside worst buy (didn't do anything except informing me there is a Samsung store in LA). I called the Samsung store in LA and talked to a technician and the technician supervisor (I could drive there if their answer wasn't factory reset)
But EVERYONE from Samsung is saying all that can be done is factory reset.
I do not need a factory reset. I need my data.
I have posted numerous threads, and even though there was good advice given, none of it worked.
All I did before this error was try to update Google maps. The phone has never been backed up/rooted/nothing its stock.
At this point, I'm willing to negotiate paying someone to get my data back.
Someone please help.

Sorry To Hear that this is really a big problem but every thing has a solution ..
As you say the windows doesn't read the device and so as Odin try http://tinyurl.com/Heimdall-oa on Linux (don't use virtual machine )
OK if Heimdall read the device flash stock firmware (same version) if the device open congratulations
else flash custom recovery (you can find one in cyanogen discussion) and launch aroma file manager pull out your data so you're safe to reset ?? hope to be helped you .

As you say the windows doesn't read the device and so as Odin try http://tinyurl.com/Heimdall-oa on Linux (don't use virtual machine )
OK if Heimdall read the device flash stock firmware (same version) if the device open congratulations
else flash custom recovery (you can find one in cyanogen discussion) and launch aroma file manager pull out your data so you're safe to reset ���� hope to be helped you .

Thank you for trying to help me. I do not yet have a Linux box set up. Can you recommend a distro, version, or live cd of Linux to use?

You can use Ubuntu 14.04

I will post my results here as soon as I try

If your phone is still stuck, flash TWRP (google it if you don't know it) for s820l. After TWRP is installed backup your data to your Internal or External Storage. Once the backup is complete factory reset (I highly suggest bakcking up to an SD card) if it still only boots to this screen try flashing the Stock ROM.
If your phone is messed up after the factory reset, i suggest SD card for files and everything if your computer has an SD adapter and reader you won't need to turn the device on. Hopefully this fixes it for you.
P.S. By no means do I know exactly what I'm doing, I flashed the wrong TWRP for mine and only got a download screen. This is the method i used to fix it. Also i am not allowed to post links or I would. so google sm-s820l custom recovery and to get a Stock ROM. Above the page for it should be a bunch of tabs that look like this " Android Area 51 > Forum > Straight Talk/Net10 > Samsung Phones > Samsung Galaxy Core Prime > Recovery Releases" Click on Samsung GCP and then your all set. Hope this helps.

Core prime model is also G-360* (main number) not just SM-820L .

True so if it's not the SM-S820L just input your model number instead of the one I posted that was my bad I assumed TracFone. Also don't think just because the phone is the same they will all work if you do use the wrong TWRP or ROM because the model is different it will brick your device. Again it was my mistake but overall I hope this helps.

Never mind i just wanted to share info. + mine reply was before twrp or cwm being ported to core prime ,and at this time no custom roms for 360* Models

Is TWRP ported to other versions of this phone? It seems like it is atleast the VE one has it and my TracFone version does I'm sure most of the others ones do and you also do not need a Custom ROM just a stock one which is probably floating around out there somewhere. For the OPs phone which if the model was posted this would be a billion times easier. So Mr. OP please post your model for us to help if your issue is still happening.

G360 Rom

Firstly, I do not know if your phone came default with H2OS or OOS. So I will give you the route you need to choose if the default OS on your phone was OOS (Oxygen OS)
OOS
First take your phone back to default stock using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/guide-official-op2-stock-reset-to-oos-3-t3402020
Next unlock your bootloader from the developer options.
Then reboot to fastboot and flash TWRP Hybrid Version 3.0.2.0 [Search in the General Thread. I believe i have seen it there]
Lastly, follow the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-hydrogenos-v1-2-0-sensors-t3264711 for H2OS

Try method 1 in this link. it will install Stock recovery, On there you can install Oxygen OS. If you need any help Message me.

You were in test mode right? Assuming you were, I would urge you to:
1. Try a different USB Type C Cable.
2. Try a different USB Port.
Let me know the results.

I know this is something you might have done but you could try to scroll down in the flashing program and you must find the line there hopefully?

Yes,
1st you will need the update from china or from geekbuying.
2nd an flash memory stick of 4gb or more because the rom is about 2.3gb, and put it in
3rd connect the memory stick to the phone with an usb to usb c adapter
4th enter in TWRP->Reboot->Bootloader->Reboot to nubia emergency recovery->Choose Update Package->And you choose from OTG device.
And thats what I did and now works like new

Hi notsoeazy
Thanks for the help, I bought the OTG cable and it worked perfectly.
I would like to use the Chinese ROM with gapps, but I could not get a way to make it work, if you know in any way please let me know.
Thanks!!

I'm currently trying to do this and it's giving me the error "OTG device not found." Does anyone know why? It should be mounted. I can still see the OTG device and files in TWRP.
