DeleteThank You Nishant.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome buddy.
ReplyDeleteHi Nishant, I'm not great with this stuff and would kindly appreciate some help. So, I'm able to get the tablet into APX mode, but there's no prompt for the APX drivers. What should I do? Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWhich OS are you using?
ReplyDeleteIf you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8,it will prompt you to install the APX drivers.

ReplyDeletehey.. nishant.. i am back with some other issue.. my k1 becomes tooo slow wen not in use for for a while..for instance it takes abt 10secs to move after slidinng to next page or to open an app.. after restarting it becomes faster as usual.. pls help to sort out this issue too..
ReplyDeleteThis tablet was the biggest mistake in my life.lol
ReplyDeleteThis tablet has a buggy hardware.Now,I want to sell this.
Also,this tablet is so heavy that you cannot hold it in hand for over 2 minutes.Your hands will start to pain.lol
Anyways,solution to your problem is you have to uninstall some unwanted apps which are slowing down the tablet.
Also,when tablets wait for 1 min to load all the processes,then start working on tablet.
Also,when tablet starts wait*
ReplyDeleteHi, Nishant. I am having a problem with APX mode. I have the same problem as Roberto Larios. I am running Win 7.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can help.
Thank you
Bruno
I downloaded And 4.1.1 from http://goo.im/devs/khanning/K1_JB_AOSP.zip, This did not have the APX driver and I did get APX driver installed. However, the K1 does not prompt me for anything. The device is connected to my Windows 8 pc. I have tried several times including rebooting PC as well as K1 tablet a couple of times.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Dipak
Problem solved! I downloaded APX driver from the Internet and installed Android.

ReplyDeleteHI Mario Callegari, I am having the same issue. My installation also stopped at the same step
ReplyDelete"Formatting partition 12 UDA please wait.. done!" . I had installed ICS earlier and I was trying to install Jelly bean. Kindly let me know if you are getting a solution.
Thanks in Advance,
I was able to fix my issue. It was because of the APX driver. Mine was having an APX driver which was installed earlier. I switched on the tab in recovery mode, uninstalled the driver from my computer, switched off the tablet. Switched on again in recovery mode, installed APX driver and ran the bat file. It worked fine for me. I got this from the link below.

Yes...great,...
ReplyDeleteComing late to the party I know, but I have been trying to install JB on my K1 and am stuck with the APX driver problem -- third party inf does not contain digital signature. I have downloaded numerous packages recommended here and on other sites and forums all with the same result. Any help would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteJust want to clarify and wanted to be 100% sure. I have Lenovo K1 and bricked 2x but I was able to revive the tablet. Now I am running a STOCK HC 3.2.1 120109. It is not rooted yet and I want to use this Khanning's JB AOSP. Because the last time I install this JB AOSP I was rooted and I think I should be rooted. Question, does flashing this Khanning's JB AOSP coming from unrooted STOCK HC 3.2.1 work? I am scared that my device would brick again. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks
ReplyDeleteSame problem as Mario, except it ends at
ReplyDeleteFormatting partition 9 CAC please wait.. done!
Tablet also only says same as Mario's
Other difference noted in the CMD.EXE is:
after Using blob v1.1.57813
there are unrecognizable characters. I have tried downloading the CM starter several times and on different machines but still get this same issue.
Please help. Thanks.
Hello, buddy.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the information.
Here I am, three years later, trying to upgrade my IdeaPad K1 to a latest Android OS.
I have tried EVERYTHING. I followed the instructions very carefuly. I updated my driver on both my Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 computers, put the tablet on the recovery mode through the +- and power, the computers recognized the new hardware, double clicked on the flash-win.bat file, and it just ejected the tablet, but nothing happened on the actual tablet.
I also tried installing the android SDK tool, went to developer options and checked the USB debugging option, ran CMD as administrator, and I got this message "C:\windows\system32>adb shell k1recovery
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
I REALLY, REALLY want to be able to upgrade my tablet. Can you please help me with this?
Thank you very much!
I know it's a bit late but the links above are not working. Is it possible to get new links, please?!!
