Creating custom rom for Lenovo Tab 2 A10-30F/L - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking possibility to make custom image to Lenovo Tab 2 A10-30F/L but i have stuck.
system.img is divided to system_*.unsparse files.
one user has done unsparse file joiner application but it doesn't work and no sources available from it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647429
I have also looked different custom rom kitchens but those doesn't have any file joining solution for joining unsparse files.
Not sure if this is a common method for qualcomm products to have system.img divided to unsparse files.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Would it be possible to unpack system.new.dat and repack it as system.img?
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-15855.html
I unzipped the TB2-X30F_S113_160816_ROW_FULLOTA rom and can only see system.new.dat, not system.img. Where did you get the system.img from?

Isn't that FULLOTA image for updating sw from SDcard??
I have downloaded SW from here. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3Kcw/Mm9WDWTWH
I have unzipped TB2-X30F_S000113_160816_ROW_qpst.7z and it has system.img divide to Unsparse images.

Probably not an issue. If i remember some other forum correctly that FULLOTA update fails if you have rooted your tablet.
Also same problem that i have with those unsparse files but it seems that for system.new.dat there seems to be solution.

Lenovo Tab 2 A10-30 doesn't have Mediatek chip.
It's using Qualcomm 1.3 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 212 (APQ8009) processor with a Adreno 304 GPU

Would it be possible to build lineage OS for this device using this guide?

I'm following the above guide in order to build Lineage 14.1 for my Lenovo Tab A10-30F. The guide is intended for Lineage 13.0, so a few minor tweaks are needed. Will keep you updated here, but it's the first time I try to build Lineage from scratch, I only do it because I softbricked my tablet, and I don't manage to find a build for it, so I'm not very optimistic
EDIT: I gave up, it does not look too difficult, but unfortunately I underestimated the amount of time and disk space needed, I need to switch to a better machine... Could someone try?
I found this thread, but I think the device it refers to is different.
It looks strange that nobody built lineage for this tablet though... it's a good piece of hardware, cheap and functional... Did I search in the wrong places?

News anybody?

On the Russian forum http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/23256-lenovo-tab-2-a10-30-achilles-lineageos-141 someone reports having installed LineageOS 14.1 on the Lenovo Tab 2 A10-30.

I have installed this rom today on my TB2-X30L and succesfully tested Wifi, mobile data (LTE/4G), camera (photos only - video does not work) and even FM radio.
I tried to make a phone call what of course did not work.
It´s an unofficial build from July 31st, 2019 (meaning only 5 months old). Security patches from July 5th, 2019.
14.1-20190731-UNOFFICIAL-achilles
Does anybody use this ROM?
Or any other ROM with current security patches?

I actually gave up with Lineage on this device but just because I turned it into a kind-of ebook reader: I removed all the crapware and set it to bare minimal functionality for reading scanned color pdf (D&D manuals mostly) and with the original firmware this yields a monstruous battery life. Like, I can forget it for weeks in my closet and pull it out still half battery

Guys for that tablet the latest custom ROM is lineages 16.0 and the latest twrp is 3.1.1
ROM: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=7161016148664803115 (tested working fine , RIL not working)
TWRP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z5g-AJXypO0b-_pvJR8TMk7I9cAyREa9/view (tested evrythink working)

repo for cwm recovery only

hi
been trying to download repo for cynogenmod but have failed with numerous attempt. it is a huge file. is it possible to download just the required files to make cwm recovery 11 ? for kitkat? if possible how ?

no. as per my knowledge . My device is Lg g3 f460 k (snapdragon 805 variant). on kitkat 4.4.2. i searched far and wide but nothing related to it.
I only have 2 options now,
sync cm 12 (not sure if i could build a recovery here that will work in kitkat)
download individual files and put it the respective folders.
It would be better to start with cm11, which is known to be compatible with your device, as you have kitkat. But Cm12 has, at least in the later revisions, his own Recovery, which only offers a part of the options.

During the my last attempt to decript the boot and the recovery images from one new Zopo called Speed 7 (Zp951) octa core Mtk 6753 3gb Ram,
i receive this message from the Carliv v.1 program:
This errors appear during the boot decripting and during the recovery decripting.
If i Check well with other tools like "Bigrammy tools or also Yuweng tools" but i do not remember well who is the owner, i see that in the new boot and recovery is present the Kernel compressed and the ramdisk compressed.
kernel.gz
and
ramdisk.gz
If i decompress them the kernel became too big more than the 15 mb.
I tryied to leave it so big in new recovery but flashtool not recognize the files recovery,maybe i'm have passed the memory block ...but i don't know well.
These are the two files:
http://d-h.st/a380
What happened in these new two files?
Possible that mediatek create new compression?
Why these two files are compressed?
...
According The Great Carliv seems that in the Images (recovery and boot) probably isn't present anymore Mediatek header .
Still have no Speed7 (waitingfor it), so I can't help right now. This message is just to let you know I will be contributing to this thread as soon as possible .
TWRP
@ghost45 ported my UMi TWRP v2.8.7.0 so give it a try :fingers-crossed:
Download Here from Copy.com
@bigrammy: Original recovery is 8.27 MB, yours is 13.47 MB. Do you think this fits? Right now I don't know the structure of the Speed7-ROM, but I think other parts of the ROM have to be moved. Can you upload the scatter you used so we can have a look at the allocation? Thanks.

64bit SoC recovery partitions are generally 16mb in size.
I do not have the zopo speed myself. Maybe ghost45 could upload the scatter as I assume he got the .img's from a stock rom.

To the contrary i have tryied again my cwm base (not touch) sorry but i'm fixed for the cwm...and run well but i must see the memory sector to understand why i can't able to see the sd ext card.

Your recovery start but do not run the touch at all and do not run also with the volume button.
So is unusable for now.
To the contrary my cwm run well but i must check well the memory sectors to understand why the sd ext is not seen.
(The memory internal is visible the sd ext not)

You will need to ask zopo to fix the touch in the kernel...
hi,

Ok, great.
You can do a thread about CWm and TWRP on speed 7 developement. By the way when the source will be release, i will creat cm12.1 rom, you will help to do this if there some bug ? (i will received my zopo about 10 sept)

Hi Flavien,
I have already opened this thread about the recovery.. I not think is good to open one other about the recovery.
About the source... I know that Mediatek seems will release them in the next month... But i don't know the real date.
About the help to build one new rom is always one great and good idea to change opinions and to change hands.. Yes.

Hi bro,
Just some advice here as we have already been down this road with the Elephone P6000.
1. CWM recovery is pretty much dead as of KitKat 4.4.4 and is not supported in Lollipop 5.0 > so any CWM recovery's are likely to have been compiled using KK. This means they will never be 100% perfect for your Lollipop 5.1 device.
2. The TWRP I have ported for you is obviously working and has been compiled for Lollipop so If you had a working touch I am sure it would be 100% perfect. :good:
So what should you do ??
1. Get on to Zopo and demand they fix the touch in the Kernel I would guess it's a goodix GT9xx touch screen the same as the Elephone :laugh:
2. You could still use the CWM to do most things like flash supersu.zip to root etc etc.
3. You could probably use TWRP with a Mouse and OTG cable too.
4. Once rooted you can use wanam's Partitions Manager Here To back and even restore you partitions but it's a little slow Thread Here :good:
5. Last but not least use SPFlashtools for backup and restore. :good:
Regards bigrammy.

Hi Bro,
Thanks for the answer, but actually we are waiting for the source from Mediatek.
When i will have some little time ...first, i want to create a new porting with cwm to have, almost, one recovery usable.
After yes probably we must studied these new sources....when their will arrive.

Getting Device Tree And Vendor Blobs For Less-Used Device

I had made a thread about creating a custom ROM for Android over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/building-custom-android-rom-t3526514#post70277383 and Art Vanderlay suggested I post here, so here it is.
I own the BLU Energy X 2, and I am in need of the Device Tree and Vendor Blobs for the phone to create a custom ROM based off of CyanogenMod. My device currently has CyanogenMod on it, however it's an unofficial port for the BLU Studio Selfie. I am not sure how the dev of that ROM got these files, however the Infinix Hot 2 is a "clone" of that device, so he may have just ported it from there, or it may have not even needed porting at all Anyways, for me to create a custom ROM based off of CyanogenMod, I need the Device Tree and Vendor Blobs. I do have the ProjectConfig file if that helps.
These files are usually somewhere on GitHub, but due to the development community for BLU devices in general being almost non-existant, these files are nowhere to be found. So, how can I get these files for my device to start building a custom ROM? Thanks
If you need any other information, please reply.
Device Specs:
BLU Energy X 2
Model #: E050U
Android Version: 5.1 Lollipop
Kernel Version: 3.10.74+
Chipset: MT6580
Use Device and Vendor trees from similar devices, change names and other stuff like your device in the configs...
I'm noobie too, but this is how people make it for MTK devices

Do the devices need to be officially CM supported, to get the device tree and vendor blobs? Because I found a couple of devices like the ZenFone Go that has an unofficial version of CM, but I can't find the device tree for that device.
These come from the oem. While the directions posted sometimes work it is dirty hacking at best and never stable. This is why developers stay away from mtk devices and they are really only used in cheap devices.

Ok, so I've discovered that the Infinix Hot 2 has mostly the same specs as my device, and that it's basically a clone of the Studio Selfie, which is the device that I used to unofficially port CyanogenMod to my device, so that's a good sign. Anyways, CyanogenMod was built for the Infinix Hot 2 from source, and they provided links to GitHub. It does say though that the Infinix Hot 2 is Android One. Is that a big problem?

Oh
Nice!
UPDATE:
I was able to contact him and got an answer
He stated that he did not have an Xperia x to test this ROM
But told that I could test and send feedback if it works or not.
Maybe you can write a PM asking if you can test too! (Anyone who reads this can ask!)
This whole thing feels weird.
On first flash, recovery says the ROM was created by jhenrique09, who is an official maintainer of PE. But after searching both jhenrique09 and PE's official Github, there's no sign of suzu on the list. I'm assuming this is a port. This brings us to another problem.
A quick look at the file name reveals this ROM is based on 4.4 kernel. As far as I know, there is no Pie ROM out there that is using 4.4 kernel (Chippa_a's LOS uses 3.10, Omni and Treble uses 4.9). The closest thing I could think of is Omni 8, but why port a Pie ROM using an Oreo base?
Lastly, who would make a ROM for a phone they don't have?

On first flash, recovery says the ROM was created by jhenrique09, who is an official maintainer of PE. But after searching both jhenrique09 and PE's official Github, there's no sign of suzu on the list. I'm assuming this is a port. This brings us to another problem.
A quick look at the file name reveals this ROM is based on 4.4 kernel. As far as I know, there is no Pie ROM out there that is using 4.4 kernel (Chippa_a's LOS uses 3.10, Omni and Treble uses 4.9). The closest thing I could think of is Omni 8, but why port a Pie ROM using an Oreo base?
Lastly, who would make a ROM for a phone they don't have?

IT seemed kindof fishy to me too but....well....it kind of boots
We could try an android 8.1 OEM file and see if it boots

it will not boot with android 8.1 an 9 oem..you just got infinity restart
I think oem already include in this rom,you can check oem file after flash the rom in /root/oem using twrp file manager
Someone needs to take some logs without patches of any sort
On the 4.4 kernel Version

Xiaomi 12X custom rom requested

Hi everyone, I've been trying to find a custom rom for Xiaomi Mi 12X, but none found so far. I tried to port Pixel Experience rom using the Xiaomi Mi 11X (alioth) device tree and changed accordingly, since the SOC and almost all specs are the same except Camera. Can anybody shed some light in how to correctly port the ROM for my devices without official device tree from LineageOS or Pixel Experience? Thank you.
Anybody has any suggestions?

Hi, right now I'm using crdroid gsi, which works pretty good. Except of fp, everything works as it should. It's smooth, has a good bb and even MGC's Gcam 8.1, last stable, works incl. portrait, nightmode and with all lenses (ok, no pixelbinning). Installing is pretty simple: use fastbootd and just fash img to system. That's it....

Thank you. I figured it out and tried a few treble roms including pixel experience, there are a few problems including auto brightness, fingerprint and vibrator. You had the same problems?

Yes, especially the sound makes problems... When usung videocall, it's awfully distorted. I'm using stock for now. With Lawnchair and some modifications it's ok for now.
Do you know, why there's no thread for our phone here?
Just seen, you are forking some repositories... Have you been successful in building?

Did you flash with vendor or system only?

No, I used the same procedure as described for Alioth device, fastboot flash boot boot.img, then from recovery use adb push to update the zip ROM file.

But how did you built the rom. Did you get out a flashing zip directly? Normally, you create different partitions as fas as I know... Would you share your rom? Btw. which one did you build?

Yes, after building I got a zip and flashing it using update by adb push. I built Pixel Experience Android 11

But you used the lineage device tree. And PE is aosp not lineage. Might that be the problem? Would you try to build crdroid? Or instruct me how to setup a build environment?
No, I used the PE device tree, not Lineage. I used the build instructions provided by Pixel Experience for Alioth.

Yesterday xiaomi released kernel for 12x on GitHub. So I think now you can build pe/los without troubles

Didn't they release the kernel when the phone was released?

Technically yes, but i've checked GitHub(about month ago) and I didn't saw kernel for this phone, just an empty folder

Did you replaced vendor libs with libs from 12x and other stuff like fstab, bins, rc files..configs? Attach logs from boot if you decide to build again. My advice is to build as eng and disable encryption, put selinux to minimal mode, nuke livedisplay, import vendor modules if you build with stock prebuilt kernel. Always look for F Linker errors in log and resolve them.
I'm waiting for AOSP rom too.
