Hi
I flashed my phone by new rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461929. On the end Odin fail my phone now no working. I was trying restore by Kies but i need to have soneone code. Please someone help me.
I've searched but apparently it seems like most of the answers have been deleted or redacted.
My problem...
I was just given a Yoga Tab 2 from my sister who has given up on trying to fix it.
The tab was on 5.01 and rooted when she got a system update. She ran the update but now the tablet freezes during/after the boot animation.
It will go into fastboot but is not recognized by ADB.
She tried to install the original Lollipop firmware through recovery but ended up getting a system 7 error.
This is exactly what I see when in the bootloader screen
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT_NAME - YT2
VARIANT - YOGA Tab1
HW_VERSION -
BOOTLOADER VERSION - unknown
IFWI VERSION - Blade_21.x64.0005.R00.1504101447 FFD8_X64_R_
SERIAL NUMBER - BaytrailD454B***
SIGNING - ?
SECURE_BOOT - ?
E: No valid installer medium found
I know nothing about Lenovo and how they do things but I know that with HTC you have to go back to 100% locked and stock before you can install an OTA. If you do try the OTA usually just won't install but unfortunately this thing seems to be at least soft bricked.
Is there a way for me to maybe roll back? I've read about people going back to KK in order to get the LP OTA but all links to the KK firmware are gone.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate any help I can get...
BTW, She is under warranty but of course she was rooted and is worried that repair will cost her almost as much as she paid for the Tab when they realize and void her warranty.
If its the same as the 1050f try these files.

Thank you. I used the Restore KitKat Bios you posted along with an 830F specific KitKat firmware from the Russian Lenove site. Worked fine after editing the flash.xml file to allow for a larger system.img file.
The tablet is now back from the dead. Unfortunately it gets the 5.0 update but fails in the Lenovo Recovery when trying to flash the OTA. It gets to 100%, stays like that for a bit and then a blue X saying flash failed. After that I'm back to a black screen and have to reflash the kitkat firmware to get up and running again.
I have no idea why the OTA flash constantly fails but I guess I have to do a bit more research and hope I can get her up to date.
Did you set the country code , without setting it updates fail.
Look at this advice from ionioni to me about setting the code

Outstanding!!! I entered the code in contacts and it gave me a menu of different countries to choose from. I Chose US and she rebooted, went into recovery, ran a bit and rebooted into another fresh install which looked completely different. We're talking different wallpaper, and different apps. After that it successfully installed 4 or 5 OTAs and as far as I can tell it is now completely up to date!
Android Version is 5.01
Build is S100250-160119
Kernel Version is 3.10.20-x86_64byt-g9f7fad7
Security patch is dated 2016-02-01
I'll wait a few days before I root and install Xposed just to be 100% certain it's up to date.
Of course my sister will probably ask for it back now.
Either way, THANK YOU VERY MUCH corasman!!! Your help has been invaluable!
I am so pleased it worked for you, ionioni helped me so much and now I am trying to do the same for others.
Good evening everyone,
is this the correct Forums part to post questions like this? If not, please tell me where to post, thanks!
As the title says, I bricked my phone. I rooted it some days ago and was trying to unroot it, by installing a stock rom. Since I didn't know how to get the correct Region code, I download a custom ROM which said "everywhere" and guess that was the mistake. I tried to flash it with ODIN, the same way I flashed the custom ROM back then, but ODIN showed an error (which I can't remember). So in the end I pulled the cable and now have an error upon start up which says "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". Said software doesn't offer any emergency recovery function.
I can still boot into download mode. I tried to install the custom ROM again, but but ODIN doesn't recognize the phone.
What can I do to fix this? What additional information do you need to provide help?
I thank you in advance for all suggestions and wish you a nice evening!

I have the same problem.. what can i do?
I've asked for help here but no one is interested.....so I am looking for someone to help me and I can pay a little for some help.
Here is what has happened so far. Tried to root and install TWRP and Resurrection Remix Rom and the phone would start to load RR and then freeze, and then reboot to Lenovo and to RR logo, then freeze....and over and over.
So now I am trying to revert back to the stock Lollipop ROM and start over again. The problem is that either tool I use, QFIL or Lenovo Downloader, the tool gets stuck on a Sahara error:
Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Failrocess fail
Lenovo Downloader stays on Step: Sahara.
I have tried to figure this out now for three days and in the meantime this single mom doesn't have her phone and can't afford a new one....so this is for a good cause.
No one will reply to my other requests for help and one person said you guys aren't support and basically....shouldn't expect help for free. So...lets do this and I'll pay for support.
Thanks
Problem solved with no thanks to anyone here. XDA forums is a worthless resource for any kind of help.
The behavior of most people is ...should be embarrasing.
