Hi guys I have a Lenovo Tab2 A7-30F (16GB) that I rooted succesfully but ended up bootlooping when I tried swapping the recovery. I know I shouldve made a backup but I didnt however the tab will respond to SP Flash but not ADB or Fastboot.
Im only an intermediate user but Im starting to get to grips with Linux on my dualboot PC
I believe I've got 4 options available as the lady in my life brought me another Lenovo tab A7-20F (8GB) (succesfully rooted aswell kingroot swapped out for SU thanks to a guide found on your site)not quite the same model I know but as far as I can tell the only differences seems to be Capacity and recovery 30F had uk text in recovery 20F seems to be Chinese writing both from UK shops and have a Mediatek 8127 QC 1.3Ghz cpu
Available Resources
Win 10 & Ubuntu
Lenovo T2 A720F (Rooted Functional)
Various Lenovo Zips (but scatterfiles dont seem to be setup correct)
A730F Source code
SPFlash, MTK Droid tools, Android Studio
Me (guidance and education appreciated but by no means clueless) not afraid to go in at the deep end:cowboy:
OPTIONS
SP FLASH
1. I have found an update zip and Source code with a scatter file for the tab but the layout appears to be wrong but dont really understand HEX codes but the Partitions seems in the file maybe comparing and modifying the layout might make SP Flash happy with it
2. Scatter from A7-20 tried this option but unable to produce the scatter as its still complaining about root shell, Iv tried ADB insecure but doesnt seem to help (Im no expert so guidance would be appreciated. I am aware that id probably end up with half the capacity if this option would work for me)
Source Code
I got the source code of the lenovo site but being fairly new to linux not exactly sure how to turn it into usable images from what I gather repo and jackchain would be useful tools in that situation although I may of understood this wrong. Im willing to try this option as I do enjoy working with linux bot ubuntu and kali ;)
SD Card Booting
Havent really looked into this method but stands to reason if I could get the tab to boot Iv got a chance of restoring the tab. Im quite happy to experiment maybe even adapt CWM or TKIP to the tab. I always find the best way to learn is from mistakes in the past Iv rooted android phones Samsung GS3 and had no difficulty, but this is the first time Iv found myself in this situation and feel that its fixable with the resources available.
Thanks in advance sorry for the essay.
