This friday I got my tablet(lenovo tab 2 a7-10f). Yesterday I decided to install better rom on it. I rooted my device and installed twrp recovery. Unfortunally I didn't quite realize the importance of making back up and the fact that you can't flash this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/rom-orionlp-v1-8-lenovo-tab-2-a7-10f-t3480918
on android 4.4. My device loops "lenovo powered by android" screen. I can boot it into TWRP recovery. I have been googling today for a whole day and I havent find any rom to flash it. I tried this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...-stock-lollipop-5-0-roms-lenovo-tab2-t3418835
and I think thing like this for a KiKat (through twrp, probably that's why it doesnt work) .I couldn't quite boot it into fastboot and I can't use sp flash propely or it just simply doesn't work for me. Please help me to find any rom to flash it from twrp, since I am too stupid to do anything different way.
In short it loops, I can boot it to twrp, I just want to unbrick it. The ultimate goal is to propely install this *first link*
Thanks in advance!

There is a way to flash a now rom with SP flash tool although you can't use sp flash tool propely.
You must open the lid of the tablet and unplugin the battery
(to unpluin the battery simply pull out this)
Then open your SP flash tool, load the scatter file of the rom, press download button, plugin the battery and your pc will start dowloading the rom normally.

Here is what went down--
I installed TWRP - the official one, everything up to this step went great. Then I flashed a rom for Huawei Ascend Mate 1, not 2, by mistake.
Don't flame me for this plz, I feel bad enough already. Anyways, the phone is now stuck in a boot loop and there is no way for me to open up TWRP anymore. Is there any way I can salvage this phone yet?
Maybe try to fast boot and flash a stock .img. I think volume down +power is for fastboot, it is opposite volume+power for recovery.
Don't give up yet

Hi there,
Try to Fastboot and install TWRP recovery img again . When in TWRP wipe EVERYTHING but ext-sd!
After that (as I learned from experience) all is possible.
Here is what I had to do with my MT2-L05:
Installed original recovery.img via Fastboot,
auto updated (already had b607 update files in ext sd),
reinstalled TWRP via Fastboot and after asking me if I wanted to, twrp installed su for me!
Back in the game with b607 - rooted!
Had a problem with busybox because system was still locked,
installed in xbin with Stericson.zip via twrp and that did it.
Hope that's helping!
Hi! I've managed to brick my device (d610ar) badly, i think
the device doesn't boot normally (message "Secure booting error! Cause: boot certification verify.", and i am stuck there), can't charge it with the wall charger, and the only thing that works is download mode; but flashing a kdz with LG FlashTool (the way i went back to stock a few times) says flashing and at 2% (or 3% sometimes) it says that doesn't find the device, that i have pull out the battery to reconnect my device again and when i do that it does the same thing on a loop, asking to do it again later..
the funny thing is that it appears on device manager on windows, on com port 11 for example, but the FlashTool doesn't recognize it..
so, i can't flash any kdz and doesn't boot.. i've read around here in xda to enter fastboot to fix it, but.. can this device enter fastboot? i couldn't do it, tried adb too and couldn't make the device visible..
i, before this happened, had multirom installed, rebooted to recovery and deleted secondary roms to install in primary rom cm12.1.. there started to happen strange things when rebooted normally to configure it..
after a while trying to boot found around here in xda too that i could enter twrp recovery via hardware keys to reinstall again, so got into it and installed a flashable zip to come back to stock KitKat directly, that have worked for me before..
after that rebooted and i can't do anything else than download mode..
i kinda figured that the problem must be that multirom injected the boot sector after installing the stock flashable zip, and when i did that restored the stock aboot and abootb (these, modified carefully, allowed us to unlock bootloader and flash recoveries, etc, etc.. ; by the way, many thanks to the devs that discovered it and made the guides!)..
now i have read the instructions for flash via fastboot the stock boot.img and so pass the security verification, but i can't enter it..
so, what do you think that could be the next step? or is it really hard bricked and i should forget about it? i'm really hoping to recover it but i don't know what else to do..
sorry for the bad english, not my primary language
thanks for reading and i am hoping to hear some suggestions!
He is not hard bricked you need to flash stock boot and reunlock bootloader if you have custom recovery still installed, but go first with the eazy way search xda about lg flash tool stuck at 2% there some guides to help you get kdz flashed
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! You made me realize why wasn't working..
Because of you, i started to search threads related with the "flashtool stuck at 2%" and one of the things to look at was a txt file to see what was the problem.. there i found out that the lg FlashTool recognized my device as LGD618..
That's when i realized that i must've messed up when i flashed a lollipop flashable zip for the D618(a while ago), "converting" my cellphone on that model.. so when i connected on download mode and put the LGD610 kdz the comparison of cellphone model and binary model didn't match..
Solution was to flash LGD618 kdz, boot up normally, install towelroot, install supersu, edit a line on build.prop
from persist.multisim.config=dsds to persist.multisim.config=none
rebooted and that's it.. everything works perfectly now! i won't be doing stuff to it for a while
probably will stay stock like that, because now i will be using an OnePlus One in a few days and the G2 mini will be used by my mother, i think..
Thanks again! You saved my device for being bricked forever
i glad i could helped you :good:
I tried installing kitkat having installed lollipop and did not work, also I tried installing lollipop and nothing. Well I think this update lollipop are adding some kind of lock to disallow downgrade or upgrade by KDZ. I try other methods, unlocking bootloader, and install a aboot.img, bricked my phone. I recommend that you do not attempt to unlock the bootloader and install any system image that is not official, or may end up with a dead device.

Hi Bro,
i have sc7731c (karbonn titanium 3D Plex ) device too. and i have tried many available img but none of them worked this would be because these devices are new and there no suitable recovery available simply because people have not made any till now..
There is many programs that allows u to create a new custom recovery if there is no recovery is available for your device try to goggle it.
On windows, philz magic touch recovery tool, android kitchen recovery image unpacker and so on.
Can i make you custom recovery using your stock image if you're too lazy
as i said above i have been trying to flash online available recoveries and accidentally flashed my stock u could help me out this
can u provide me you stock recovery image file ?
@Maucurezo
Hey dude! Im a pinoy. Im running with my STARMOBILE PLAY CLICK. As same as yours. Im running on the same Spreadtrum SC7731C and I flashed a Custom Recovery but it would only bring me to bootload. I kept finding solutions to get my Stock recovery but failed. We have the same Problem. I need the Custom recovery too. Help us admins
You can try and do it yourself. Porting TWRP and CWM to a new device. You'll need the stock rom for your device or simply make an image "dump" of the system files (boot.img, etc) via adb. Goodluck.
TWRP for sc7731c hope it helps
hi all a have a sc7731c phone on android 6.0 and i was able to install twrp on my device
it all started when i found a stock rom on the web (Google your device for stock - rom or - firmware)
once i had the rom i started searching for a way to extract the stock recovery from the rom
and i found this tool SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001 using this tool i extracted my stock
recovery from the ROM ( recovery.img ) , first stage complete i had a stock recovery
taken from a rom for my phone - brand and model must be right on the stock
firmware/rom or you risk damaging you phone (DO NOT CHEAT PLZ)
ps:wen you unpack the firmware/rom you should get a .pac file
ps:finding my stock rom took me several days of search.
now for STAGE 2 i had a stock recovery a needed to change it
for twrp another few days of search i came across a site
called hovatek here i found a tool to port (change) the
stock recovery to boot the twrp recovery the tool name is
[Hovatek] Spreadtrum (SPD) Auto TWRP Recovery Porter V1.0 by Team Hovatek (x86)
i run my stock recovery with this tool the tool creates a modified recovery on the
output folder( a few kb bigger ) stage 2 done.
STAGE 3
1- a fully working ADB, for this your best option is android-studio
2-turn on USB debuging and OEM unlock in DEV options
3-name the new recovery file recovery.img
4-your device has to be in USB MTP mode
5-if ADB is properly installed and Windows has the correct android device
driver you should be able to use these commands using android-studio's ADB
command-adb devices
-if the device is detected a serial number apears
command-adb reboot bootloader
-the device reboots to a black screen with small white letters saying FASTBOOT mode
command-fastboot devices
-the device displays the serial number again
command-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- if all went well it will say successful
command-fastboot reboot
-dont remenber if it booted straight to twrp or if i had to use power + volume up
-by the way on my phone to get in the default recover its 1 second hold power
and then with the power pressed for 1 sec add volume up 3 sec and let go of both
any way it worked i hope it helps ppl with these sc7731c phones
i have twrp 3.0.0 fully working
tips: youtube vídeos on how to use SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001
the hovatek site has a great tutorial on how to use the recovery porter tool
the last part the ADB commands was a ***** as Windows did not install my device
correctly and this is crucial -install phone driver manualy/Google device/Google android device. good luck
ps: all merit goes to the developers of these tool, a great ty to them :highfive:
ps: at the start i did NOT have root, the success flashing the ported twrp recovery
was followed bi the installation of the magisk15.3.zip and voila twrp+root
any one help me i port twrp using adb but after i flash my twrp upside down on sc7731ceb it works fine but the twrp upside down any help me

humm,.. as far as i now adb does not port recovery image´s you mean you found an image for sc7731?? phone and there are at least 4 or 5 variations of the sc7731 board and you
flashed it on your phone, by shear luck you did not soft-brick or brick your phone and it actualy Works, :cyclops:
you need to search Google/xda/hovatek site for your brand and model´s stock recovery or even better your custom recovery
or as an alternative your stock ROM/FIRMWARE and then extract the stock recovery from ROM/FIRM port it and flash it
im prety shure someone out there has a phone like your´s and you can , when you find it download the stock recovery - the custom recovery - or the ROM/FIRMWARE file
the hovatek site has a great auto port tool all you need is your stock recovery follow the vídeo simple steps and flash it now that you have root just use
twrp oficial app to flash it ,se my tutorial above it will be easy once you have the stock recovery or rom/firmware
i have a 50 buck cheap phone wierd brand,it took me several days to find the stock rom/firmware once i did all worked just fine no strange stuff
hovetek site also has a lot of rom´s/firmware files for many brands and model´s , again search Google/xda/hovatek for your model + stock recovery or recovery.img, custom recovery.
good luck

Go here https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21669.html try and port again with this tool it worked fine for me.
Hello,
I started on a quest last week to try and make my long forgotten Xperia tablet z LTE SGP321 more user friendly.
I stopped using it after being frustrated by the bloatware and its lack of customisation.
So I thought flashing a custom rom might help and wanted a bit of a technological challenge. Boy do I feel like I've got one.
I used kingroot, which worked fine. I tried to install SuperSu but it wont update the binaries.
I've managed to unlock the bootloader (forgot to do the backup TA woops!).
I downloaded TWRP app, flashed pollux_windy to recovery. Now there doesn't seem to be a combination of keys that I can find to boot the sony xperia tablet Z into recovery?? Power and volume up or down or jamming both keys...nothing seems to work. I've found one forum post suggesting it isnt possible and that I need to flash a kernel which is where I'm getting stuck.
SO this is where I am now and was wondering if I should use CWM instead or if there is another way to open recovery?
My main aim is to completely clear the tablet hard drive and start again with a custom rom.
Thanks!
>>>>>>
NEW info
So i've managed to use the ADB to reboot into the boatloader. All that happens is a black screen. I want to try and flash CWM or TWRM but it doesnt seem to work.
Im beginning to think there's something strange about the sony xperia tablet z in that it doesnt have a bootloader in its stock firmware. i've seen something about using a Kernel approach but the guides are unclear.
Any help on flashing a CWM or TWRM into recovery would be much appreciated!!

Thanks for your help. I thought I'd start simple and just try and flash TWRP to recovery.
i downloaded the latest TWRP pollux windy img and then used the command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
It says FAILED (remote: command not allowed)
adb fastboot devices displays my tablet
(by the way in configuration in service info it says bootloader unlocked: Yes)
>>>>>>UPDATE
so i managed to flash a cyanogenmod img using "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
The device then soft bricked and went into a boot loop. Is this because I used the wrong version of cyanogenmod?? Any other I can try that work?
I panicked a bit, mamanged to get the tablet into fastboot somehow andthen flashed a TWRM img to the boot using the same command above which now loads TWRM.
fastboot reboot now caused the device to go into TWRP but its in recovery mood
How can i undo that step i did when I flashed the boot img of the cyanogen mod. I want to put the old boot.img back!

also can I ask another quick question of you, what do you do to boot into recovery on your xperia tablet Z device?
Thanks!
Sorry about all the updates.
I decided to see what you had installed on your signature and tried resurrection remix. Version 5.8 caused Error 7??
So i went for version 6.9 which i installed successfully.
Only way i know how to get into recovery is to use adb terminal command "adb reboot recovery"
Also before I installed resurrection remix would you recommend a complete wipe of everything or does it not really matter?
Thanks and hopefully that's me all sorted!
Use VOL+ or VOL- on boot to enter recovery.

2 way for me:
- usually you can set an "advanced reboot menu" under developer option or the ROM customization panel (depends on which ROM do you use)
- turn off your tablet, now push the power button until your screen just turn on, leave the power button and start pressing vol+ and vol- alternately until you boot into recovery
So I just rooted my pixel 6 using the correct original img from google and Magisk. This worked great and I got root access (active boot partition was a if it’s somehow relevant). Now I wanted to use all the functions of nethunter (which I downloaded and installed from nethunter store or something like that), so I wanted to install the nethunter Kernel for my device. Pixel 6 is not officialy supported by kali or not leaked yet so I found pre build nethunter kernel for pixel 6 on xda developers.: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...o-oriole-raven-kernel-kali-nethunter.4461589/
So I went in to the mega folder and into the mad-kali-maxhunter-kernel folder. Then into the p6_p6pro folder. Then I just downloaded the maxhunter zip thing for oriole because it stands for p6 ig. Then I flashed this zip file using the Franco kernel manager as recommended in the thread. My device restart and didn’t start up again. So I just tried getting in fast boot and I got it. Now I thought i would just flash the patched magisk img I made for rooting the device previousl. So I did that using fastboot flash boot and so on. Next my device was in an bootloop still, so then I flashed the very original google official img for the device. Still boot loop, so then I wanted to do recovery from fastboot on the phone when I started factory reset mode the phone was just stuck in the google logo. Then I wiped all data using the fast boot tools from my computer. It wiped it but said stuff like the file system is not formatted or not the right format or so but still wiped the data. Still boot loop. So now I switched the active boot partition from a to b. This time the phone said like waiting for command and so on. So I watched a tutorial and got further, now I was able to get to the factory reset mode did. a reset and started. Nothing realy happened and it jumped back to fastboot mode. I thought maybe because in boot b is no img to boot. So I flashed the official google img again but on b. Still bootloop. Now I have a problem. Pls help me.
You should consider trying Google's official Android Flash Tool, it might succeed where your manual flashing failed -- especially considering it was set up by Google and might have better/further checks and such...
Yes, I would recommend Android Flash Tool also. Its helped me a couple times to recover when I couldn't boot. It gives you options for boot.img right before flashing your phone so everything you'll need should be there
@simplepinoi177 i would really like to use it but its using adb and adb is not passible only fastboot so my device isnt available. EDIT: Nvermind i didnt read correctly.
Thank y'all so much it worked!!!
Great. Android Flash tool ftw again
