I am setting this thread up to hold some files collected from the interweb. I am going to upload them when I can. I figured some could use some clarification or testing before they go into the main thread

Threads of interest:


This xda thread is the source of many of the links posted below

A Rom developed by pemergency (Xda thread)
(the file has to be purchased on Ebay I believe 5 euros)

When possible I am moving them to my personal google drive to save the Dev's bandwidth.

Root method posted by ichi go from xda

Here are the steps :
- Connect the tablet in Debug USB mode
- Launch root.bat
- The device will reboot at each of the 3 steps

Root link (a link I made)

MTK Droid Tools for easy IMEI repair and easy ROOT install. Can anyone explain this? Is this a method of rooting? (XDA user pemergency posted this)

If you're trying to connect the IdeaTab A2107 via micro USB and it just keeps connecting and disconnecting and/or gives you an exclamation mark on the Device Manager, you will need to install the ADB SDK drivers, click here for installation instructions on Windows 7.

As an alternative,you could install PDAnet for Android as it automatically installs the required ADB drivers for most Android Devices including the IdeaTab A2107.


Hope this helps.

Hi, does anyone have an update on this? Just wondered if someone with the lenovo tab (a2107) managed to root it (what with) and then enable the calling feature?

Thanks
