Reset button

Thanx a lot for a wonderfully detailed manual and files pemergency, I really appreciate you effort.
May sound a bit silly, I apologize in advance for asking this but Where can I find the "reset button" at the back of the device that you referred to in the "device formatting" section.
Have looked a lot for it without any luck.

Thanx again in advance!!!

good to see action on this good device.
finally getting some in USA so reviews etc coming in. Better device than many think...
I was able to work with one in retail OfficeDepot location - it is better performer than I thought, and the display specs don't do it justice - nice display.
good stable wifi where others could not connect.

I did not realize so many different iterations - going back to OD to check the tab's info and see exactly what model, firmware, etc...

keep up good work :good:

Yes ofcourse you can. The rapidshare it was the first server for upload I remembered from the old times when I was posting tutorials for symbian users. So this is my first tutorial since 1999 :)

All the links are fine...Since Rapidshare has put a daily download limit of 1 GB on all uploader accounts, the said error message is received...Quota is reset at 00:00 CET i.e 23:00 GMT

Question for permegency...Sorry to keep bothering you...Do I need to use some other CWM Firmware for 4GB model or the same "fat_3G_16G.img" under your CWM Recovery ROM would do ???

To make the Google services work, I copied manually all files contained in a ICS Gapps package to the right folders. You'll also have to change their permissions to rw-r--r--
Like that, all Google services are working, including account syncing, Play store

You have to copy each file to the right folder, i.e. if in gapps package the file is located in /system/app you have to copy it to /system/app in your device.
I'll try to make a script to automatize it.

    New links for ROMs

    ROMs uploaded on Dev-Host server ... No bugs except USB OTG and extra Language support, sorry about that

    Please remember to back-up your "/data/nvram" folder from your stock before flashing and replace after flashing these so that you all don't use wrong IMEIs, MAC addresses, Serial number etc. Also do all three wipes before flashing (data, cache and dalvik cache)...And yes, be patient cause the first boot after flashing may take up to 3 minutes...

    All files posted here are to be flashed using CWM recovery with "Install zip from sdcard" option !!!

    A2107A-F Stock ROM : http://d-h.st/Q4t
    A2107A-H European Stock ROM : http://d-h.st/JhV
    A2107A-H modded Chinese ROM : http://d-h.st/oAs
    A2107A-H modded Foxtrot ROM : http://d-h.st/TSQ
    A2107A-H modded Tesmart ROM : http://d-h.st/dFL
    A2107A-H modded LeWa ROM : http://d-h.st/QbM

    NOTES :
    1. For complete power-off in LeWa modded ROM, you have to un-check "settings--->Accessibility--->Quick Boot"
    2. May have to install the patch (link below) to set internal sdcard as default memory after flashing modded Foxtrot and LeWa ROMs

    EXTRAS : (Credit Foxtrot_KZ)
    Patch for setting external sdcard as default memory : http://d-h.st/SDL
    Patch for setting internal scard as default memory : http://d-h.st/u5M

    Sure, no problem !
    After several hours of search and difficulties to register onto Chinese websites ;)
    I managed to find the attached file. I take no credit for the tool because it was developped by someone else (SNARL I guess)
    It was missing the superuser apk inside so I put it back and also translate the steps to English.

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

    If you need more info, don't mind to ask!
