Ah. You can go back to the root instructions and repeat that. You will need root I think.

I think I made the same mistake as colour97. After receiving the same error I foolishly decided to reboot thinking this would not cause any harm. However, now I can not even reboot. The screen is frozen with the "Lenovo" logo when I attempt to boot. I am able to manually reboot into the bootloader, but when I attempt a command at the command prompt I get the message "<waiting for device>". Basically, my computer can no longer recognize the tablet. I then manually rebooted into the android recovery and attempted to restore a backup I made before attempting all of this. I get the message "CWM-based recovery v6.0.1.4; Checking MD5 sums...MD5 mismatch!" I have not tried a factory reset yet. Perhaps I am in over my head. I originally rooted the device per MCL's instructions simply so I could create multiple logins for my family (this worked great, btw). Any help is appreciated.

You should get a working bootloader by first booting into recovery, then typing

adb reboot bootloader

When it loads, you should be able to use fastboot.

Willdroid, if you're still getting the <waiting for device> from fastboot:

1. Reinstall the fastboot drivers (see http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/...-fastboot.html). I had to redo this after upgrading to JB.
2. Flash the latest CWM recovery. Use https://dl.dropbox.com/u/108997228/A...y-6.0.1.9d.img if you have the JB bootloader or https://dl.dropbox.com/u/108997228/A...y-6.0.1.9c.img if you have the ICS bootloader. It sounds like you have the JB bootloader.
3. Boot into recovery.
4. Do a "Wipe data/Factory reset"
5. Install A2109A_MCL0201.zip.
6. Optionally install MCL0201_CIRC1PRCT_BATTERY.zip.
7. Reboot

This should get you back up and running.

I am very unsure, what I have to do exactly. I have upgraded already from 4.0.4 stock ROM (Build: IMM76D.A2109A_A404_01_12_120705) to 4.1.1 (Build: JRO03R.A2109A_A411_03_13_121126, http://fusdl.lenovomm.chinacache.net...22546eda54d3f9 ).

Mainly I am interested to root the IdeaTabA2109A, Bloatware removed is nice, but not necessary.

So what are the steps to root it? Are there any things I have to do before?

First, you have to make sure that you have the proper drivers installed on your PC. Here's an extensive guide: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/...-fastboot.html. Unlocking the bootloader, installing Clockworkmod (cwm), and rooting your tab are described in this thread by our resident guru, mcl: A2109 - Clockworkmod Recovery and Root - Lenovo Community. The cwm you'll need for Jelly Bean is here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1j...VRfVzNrY19SZWc.

That should handle the basics for you. Let me know if you need help. I've got to run & help another new user

Thanks! I am using Linux, but have access to XP. Is it possible to install fastboot with XP? Your thread mentiones, that people tried Linux, but had problems. The thread explains it for Win7.

Read further in the thread for linux directions.

Oh sorry, I didn't read to the end after reading of problems. I will try it with Linux, after I know where I get fastboot for Ubuntu 12.04. How can I check, if everything worked? Should I see with dmesg an info?

Is it impossible to do it with XP? I would like to know it only. It is a lot of work for me, to use XP, since it is unconnected in the garage.
