Greetings,

Now that CWM is working properly I've removed the Alpha tag from this Rom.

• Already rooted with the latest version of Superuser.apk
  
• Google Apps
  
• build.prop changes to spoof Motorola Xoom (Was missing many apps from the market before, i.e. GTA III)
  
• Lenovo Market Removed
  
• Based off the 14_14_120109 US update
  
• Android Terminal Emulator
  
• OI File Manager
  
• Reboot to Recovery Widget/App

Flash at your own risk. I am in no way responsible for any damage done to your device. This will wipe your entire device except the EXTERNAL sdcard.

If you are using Windows make sure you have installed the APX drivers before continuing.

Nvflash Windows Drivers
md5sum: 9aa3a4814ca63366329d85a22ed01f64

To boot into APX mode
1. Power off
2. Hold down the Vol - and the Vol +
3. While holding the Volume keys down, Power on
4. The display should go black, and both LED's on either side of the home button should light up. This is APX mode. If using Windows make sure the drivers are installed

Instructions

Windows


1. Extract the K1_Stock_120109_nvflash_R2.zip contents to a directory

2. Double click the "flash-windows.bat" file

Linux

1. Extract the K1_Stock_120109_nvflash_R2.zip contents to a directory

2. Open a terminal and cd into the extracted directory

3. Copy and paste the following command

chmod a+x ./flash-linux.sh && chmod a+x ./files/nvflash

4. Run either

sudo ./flash-linux.sh

or from a root prompt

./flash-linux.sh

CWM Controls
Power = Back (Any submenu), Display Toggle (Main Menu)
Vol+ = Highlight Up
Vol- = Highlight Down
Home = Select

To boot into recovery
You can now use the built in app or widget to reboot to recovery
**Superuser may crash during the first couple of reboots to recovery. Dont worry

You can also run 'k1recovery' from the terminal or adb shell

Notes

• If you try to flash any of the OTA update.zip's, it will probably work, but you will be shut out of CWM and will not be able to get back in unless you reflash everything via nvflash

hi,
Thank you for your efforts. I received this tablet as a christmas gift and have already rooted it. I am interested in different rom due to some of the issues with the version of honeycomb. I am a noobie and canot help with this process, however I did send a response to Lenovo support to release the kernal sorce as you mentioned. Hopefully more people will also do the same. It is a pretty nice tablet but could be better with OS improvements.

We will probably need the kernel source code from Lenovo to address the remaining issues. Unfortunately this device has been on the market for going on four months now with no source. I also understand that the K1 has a modified U-Boot bootloader, which is also covered under GPL. Please anyone who owns this device, contact Lenovo and demand the source code. They are withholding part of our product.

What's working ? Sound/2D video/3D video/GPS/Bluetooth/etc?
Are there any issues aside from no Lenovo Market or favorites button?

Great job khanning, this rom works perfect for me, all i wanted was a stock rooted rom with original honeycomb bar, i dont use the cwm recovery because i dont want any other lenovos roms. by the way what roms from other tablets would flash to the lenovo ideapad k1?

[talon248]

Very cool, thank you for putting this together!

[gallahad2000]

The Lenovo .apks are available in the K1_A301_13_13 update zip under
\K1_A301_13_13_111209_US.zip\data\temp\app and \K1_A301_13_13_111209_US.zip\system\app . You can get the .zip at the bottom of the page HERE.

So I've been doing some more experimenting and have found an intent that lets me boot to the recovery from the OS. I thought this would fix the issue with not being able to boot into the recovery with a newer build. Unfortunately it did not. I tried on the latest build and it gets to the "Booting to recovery..." but then just hangs. However it did allow me to update the rest of the system to the 111017 update while still being able to boot into recovery. I can also include a widget to reboot to recovery now. I will post an updated Rom shortly along with a few update.zip's for those who would like to restore the Lenovo apps, the Lenovo status bar (with favorites button), and the third party apps. Unfortunately until we get the source code I don't think we can get much further with the development. Once we do get the source code I will start trying to compile an ICS build for the device.

@gallahad2000
From my experience there aren't any bugs with the Rom. It's the recovery I am considering Alpha. Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

@pdaman01
No other Rom's will work with this device.

For the time being everyone should contact Lenovo to demand they release the source code.
Please add your comments here:

Also, tweet to them @Lenovo. We can't let them get away with violating GPL.

I've cross posted a link to this thread and some of the pertinent info to XDA developers. I hope you don't mind.

I've flashed your "Rom" and the first thing I tried is "adb remount" and I got the error "remount failed: Operation not permitted"
No OTA installed, USB debugging enabled...
Su working in "adb shell"
I don't know what to do ?
