yeap, that's the case it seems. how could I repair it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bayustev:
The easy one is. You should have nvram folder from other same phone and you should have a box thats write your own imei. You had to replace nvram folder on your phone. Before you replace you had to change imei in your new nvram folder.

Here screen shoot

You can see from top the order to find mpob_001.

Thats the one you imei is.

Try to change the imei in that file with your imei. I forgot but in xda you can find tools to change imei. Use it.

Hey guys, We are going to try something new for our china phones - cyanogenmod.

But we need some more devs to get everything going.

For now we have:

-Github tree for Lenovo P700i(mediatek 6577, android 4.0.4, kernel 3.0.8)

-Lens_flare - original port author(may work with system folder and configs)

-some kernel source from other devices like liquid gallant

The main problem is getting adb to work that could help a lot on remaining development. For now even zygote not starting, but all partitions seems mounted successfully.

We need more devs (especially that could assemble working kernel for device), working with p700i may lead to following porting for other mtk devices, as sources are nearly the same.

radio state switch from on to off

Hello,

first, sry for my english, i try to explain my problem and i hope u understand.

1. i have buy phones from etotalk mith they modrom, all was fine for me.

2. i modify one phone with standard-apps i like

3. i´ve made a full backup and put this on a other phone

-> after that this phone dont eccepted any Sim-Card

I read mutch Threads and i think it must have smthg to do with the IMEI...

The IMEI in the Phone i restore with the Backup from the first Phone now has the IMEI from that and i cant change back :( ... (I´ve try many ways, with self generatet MP0B_001 i can restore to the original IMEI but that doesent work anyway, and if i do a reset, the old IMEI from the restore of the first phone is there again -.-)

any ideas what i can do?

I have make a wipe cache and dalvik cache (tried just before and after installing ROM). In the TWRP menu there are not wipe data.

All is ok.

Curiously the wipe data menu is not in the TWRP menu.

But in post #1 cybermaus say that ROM for A789 is also ok for A660. does it only ok for cybermaus rom or for all A789 custom rom ?

Runkeeper, Endomondo, Cardiotrainer

Guys can you please advise if you've tried installing some of the apps in the subject on your Lenovo a660? Would runkeeper work with A660_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_v3.21? I ordered this phone from eBay tested it with the provided ROM with no luck. Google play said it's incompatible and installing it from *apk just gave me "app not installed" message. Since there was an issue with display I had to send it back for replacement and did not have a chance to test on on cybermaus' ROM.

If it doesn't work I would be pretty dissapointed since one of the reasons I bought this phone was using it with these apps outdoors.

Thanks

eMMC partitioning

Hi my friends,

Is there any way to repartition the eMMC in the way we want? For example, I want to merge my Internal and SD storage into one for avoiding the lack of space for apps?

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myxal:
Yes, I've done this on this thread I think, about 10 pages back.. bgcngm had a patch/EBR image for ZTE V987 and offered to adjust it for Lenovo, but I ended up doing it myself.

Edit: That discussion starts here. Wow, page 53, time sure flies..

Technical explanation: In the SP flashtool, you can see MBR and EBR1 partitions - these are Master-boot-record-like structures that hold the partitioning info for system, data, USB storage (and perhaps others). You need to modify these to what you want. And of course, after changing the size, re-format and restore data on all modified partitions. I think you also need to patch the system if you're removing the USB storage completely. I've only resized it to ~100MB to hold the windows software and driver that came with the phone.

My 50 cents - Flashing A660

Hello to the people.

I had a tough time installing anything on my phone (Lenovo A660) bought straight from China without any custom recovery from seller (so pure chinese lenovo version) and I want to share my experience with reinstallation.

I had a big problem to flash A660. (I have rooted it before, with this manual, which might caused the problem)

Before flashing you do not connect your phone to computer.

If you done it, then download usbdview, run it as Administrator, and uninstall all drivers (just to be sure)

Download newest SP flash tool, download TWRP (better then cwm), follow the tutorial. Remove battery (I didn't put it back), hit F9 and connect the phone to computer. You should be done.

Download to your phone (or microsd card) cybermaus ROM. Download GAAPS (correct version - means also ICS, or you will get errors like "Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped")

Bu sure you have phone fully charged. Turn of the phone. Turn it on by holding power button and volume up. You are now in TWRP recovery.

Backup your rom. Wipe cache, and dalvik cache, do a factory reset. Go to install, pick cybermaus rom, then add GAAPS. Swipe. After installation, wipe cache again. You are done.

Many thanks to cybermaus, developers, developers, developers and my patience for not posting online before reading the whole internet and trying virtually everything.

lenovo A660 flashing problems

Hello all.

I followed the instructions from a previous post, see below.

after using TWRP to install the cybermaus rom, my phone hangs at the lenovo display at startup.

I had trouble flashing TWRP until I changed the version of SP flash tool and I never was able to root the phone even though I tried

several methods including superoneclick.

My questions are...

1, Is it absolutely necessary to root the phone before I use SP flash tool?

2, how can I root the phone?

3, Is there a different cybermaus row that is confirmed to work? I did try v3.1 and 3.21, same results.

4, What am I doing wrong? I am using windows XP pro, different usb ports,

Thanks for any help
