Thanks, cybermaus,

The problem has been that the FlashTool has been running in a vbox VM. This seems to lead to a different timing behaviour on the USB port. Running the tool on a native Windows system I was able to restore the orignal ROM, to flash your recovery and to install your ROM which woks fine now. The only problem I have seen for now is that the gravity sensor data is not handled correctly.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolk11:
Read some of the posts in the link cybermouse gave.

My phone also didn't allowed me to flash (phone was working)

Always told me to be in Meta mode or something like that.

By following instuctions in flash procedure it is essential to turn off phone. Pull out battery. Load up flashtool put battery back in and do not turn on phone but simply connect it with usb. If the phone is recognized by the computer (while off) than u will be able to reflash recovery or full rom.

Good luck

Hello Everybody.

I have flashed my A789 with ROW S106, then wipe all to have a clean phone.

Everything works fine except the internet sharing (tethering)

Am I the only one who face issue ?

I can activate, connect (USB or Wireless) but no connectivity (only ping to Default gateway)

Thanks for your help.

I've been using the A789_ROW_S106_cybermaus_ICS_V3.11 and I'm glad to use it. But the problem is that compass doesn't work. Is there a thing that I should do to run it?

thanks in advance;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
@dolphiny;

Most likely this is because the A789 does not have compass hardware inside it? The A660 does, but the A789 and P700i do not.

Can others with a A789 (or P700i or A660) please check and confirm/deny if tethering works? It works on my A750, but that is based on the P700, so not really relevant.

Hi there!

On my Lenovo A660 (A660_ROW_S106_cybermaus, installed with all wipes etc.) does not work FM Transmitter. It starts, finds a free frequency, pretends that everything is working (even transmitter icon on the upper panel), but nothing works even with play music, even with another player. Any ideas how to enable this feature?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oz42:
I only can tell that the FM transmitter works great on my A789. Perhaps some hardware is missing on the A660.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
@Andreus5;@oz42;

Indeed, leaving the FM transmitter in there for the A660 was an oversight. The A660 is not listed to have transmitter hardware. You also would not have had a transmitter before you flashed my ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fillydilly:
Hi cybermaus. Bought my Lenovo A789 from etotalk and ran into some issues with their ROM. The phone wants to go into roaming mode all of a sudden 2 weeks ago. So I decided to try your ROM. I like it much better. Close to stock rom is great. I really appreciate your work. However the phone still wants to use Roaming and prompts that there is no "local sim available." I figured this maybe is some problem with the hardware or can it be fixed by software? Maybe changing the modem?

I live in Sweden and the network frequencies is matching with the phone. As I said it worked 2 weeks ago and then it started prompting about Roaming mode.

I hope you can help and I would appreciate it.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
@Fillydilly;

'Roaming' means being on network B while having a SIM from network A. Classically this happens when traveling abroad, but more and more you also see it inside a country, as providers mix and sublet their services.

I travel to Sweden often myself, and I cannot quote figure out how the networks of Tele2, 3, Comviq and Telenor fit together. They all seam to have their own towers, and still share as well. (Telia seems the only one that has a straight 'my-tower are for my customers only' policy)

So my guess is, a new tower close to you activated (or was sold/changed ID) and now you often use a tower from brand B while having a SIM from brand A. Either that, or maybe they rebranded the entire network.

I think you should just accept/ignore it. But if you really want to know, find out your SIM's MCN and MCC and that of the tower you are on. Use OpenSignalMaps to find out about the towers near to you and their MCN and MCC
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fillydilly:
@cybermaus

Thanks for the reply. Indeed there is something fishy with the nearby tower. Seems to be a 'new' one operating since it isnt in the database of OpenSignalMaps. I'll ignore the roaming prompt for now. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
Roaming

As extra info: I have seen the 'roaming' indicator described as 'bug'. I do not agree to that:

True, here in the west, it is not what we are interested in. If I have a Swedish SIM from 3, and I am temporary using a Comviq tower, no-one cares. There is no extra cost associated with that. Typically we want to know if we are abroad, because that is what is costing us money.

These phones however are build for China. In China many networks are per city or region. You pay a roaming premium if you are in a different city even though you are in the same country. Or at least, that is what I was told. It is the very reason why so many China phones are dual-SIM

So in that case, it *is* important to know if you are on a different MCN, even if the MCC is the same. So I suspect the 'extra' roaming messages of these phones is a purposely build in feature, not a bug.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fillydilly:
@cybermaus

Thanks for the info again. I'm also not being able to receive or send MMS with my A789. Is that anything you can assist with? I've tried to manually enter the APNs over and over but with no success.

:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
You should probably start with providing much more info: What provider, what network, what info do you type in those APN's? Does 3G data work. What MCN and MCC is your SIM from. Etc.

In fact, strictly speaking, all of that info should already have been in the first post/question you posted. Better to provide too much rather than too little info.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fillydilly:
@cybermaus

My apologies.

My provider is Tele 2 Sweden.

The Network is Sweden 3G Tele2

3G data is working.

MCC is 240

MNC is 07

This is the APN I try:

-------------------------------

I read on different forums that I helps to get MMS functioning on imported chinese phones by adding your own phone number to the contact list but It didn't work for me.

I hope I have provided sufficient information.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
I assume you have V3.11 of the A789?

Two things you can try:

possibility 1)

That APN you created, add "default,supl,mms" to the type of APN

possibility 2)

Delete all self created APN's and in the menu, choose to reset to default. It should then provide you with two APN's: "Tele2 SE" and "Tele2". Choose the one without SE.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fillydilly:
Yes I use the 3.11 Firmware. I tried your suggestion and they didn't work. I'll try contact the customer service to see if the fault is on their end. Thanks.

Hello, cybermaus.

Firstly I want to thank you for your work :good: now I have Russian in my phone (I`m from Ukraine).

Everything`s fine with the phone except Recent App sensor button, it doesn`t work, but it works with original Lenovo firmware (S023).

How can I repair this?

Hello everyone.

I've just got my lenovo p700i a few hours ago, and the first thing I want to do is install the custom rom

I have downloade P700i_ROW_S106_cybermaus_ICS_V3.11.zip from cybermaus' 4shared folder, succeed in installation driver. but get lost how to flash this ROM.

I extracted the zip and it has 3 folders and 3 files :

META-INF/

recovery/

system/

boot.img

scatter.txt

type.txt

this is what I've tried:

- loading the scatter txt to flashtool is not succeed >> ERROR : please check the name

- change the scatter.txt to MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt, loading the scatter file success

- BUT, only BOOTIMG option has been checklisted, no recovery or system img. my hunch is the P700i_ROW_S106_cybermaus_ICS_V3.11.zip is missing the recovery.img and system.img. OR I need to repack the system folder and recovery folder.

what I want to ask are :

1. What did I miss? I try to read the whole thread and it doesnt give me a clue. Should I flash the phone with only bootimg option? this is my primary phone, so I try to be extra carefull

2. If the P700i_ROW_S106_cybermaus_ICS_V3.11.zip really missing a file or two, where I can find those file? or if he system folder and recovery folder need to be repacked to IMG file, how to do that? is anyone want to help me? or teach me how to do that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
I have no idea what a recent app sensor button is. Explain or show pictures please.

First of all, I suggest you use the P700i "as is" for at least a few days. To make sure the phone is working as it's supposed to. It will be more easy if you need to send it for warrenty, and also it will prevent us/me having to tell you to flash back the original ROM to check if it worked with that.

Seriously, Wait a week or so.

As to your flashing questions: There are two flash methods: Recovery and Flash tool. Read the titles "CWM flashing tutorial (update using recovery)" and "T6575 flashing tutorial (update using flash utility)" linked to in the first post.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxxeses:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
Aha, that one. The word 'sensor' had me looking in the wrong direction.

Funny though, the P700i also has 4 buttons. But I dived into the ROM and it seems you are correct. Funny no-one else complained, not even the beta tester...

To (attempt) to fix please provide some info. Please install app "KeyEvent display", and tell the keycode and scancode when you press the button. Its either 217 or (probably) 194.

calendar sync not work

hi cybermaus,

i bought lenovo a789 and wanted to clean it up and have there normal android.

i proceeded this steps:

1. formated phone (with the flash tool utility) (userdata empty & fatempty)

2. flashed with this "A789_S227_cybermaus_ICS_V2" because i found there the scatter file

3. per mobile uncle rebooted in recovery mode

4. from recovery mode installed A789_ROW_S106_cybermaus_ICS_v3.11

all seems to work well but

a. the calendar sync is not working.

b. When i open the calendar there is not possible to create entry. I can see only the screen "loading failed" by creating of the new entry in the calendar.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cy4n:
ok, what is the best way to perform full data & cache wipe?

i saw that possibility in recovery console.

What will be deleted with that step? What happens when i start the phone? Would be possible to start recovery console, insert sd card with the newest sw version and install it?

Do you plan to port also the 4.1.1 version of android for lenovo a789?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
From recovery indeed, just select wipe data and wipe cache.

All data and all installed programs will be gone. Also all SMS, MMS and caller history will be lost. You will have to re-sign in with your phone and Google ID, as if it was a new phone. If you want to keep specific data, I advise to first install Titanium, and backup those programs you want to keep, so you can restore them later. However, you cannot (should not) backup/restore caller history or calender, as those are in a incompatible format, that's why you do this.

JB? Not likely. If Lenovo releases a JB for a A789 compatible phone (P700i, A660, S880i, S560 etc) then yes, I will attempt a port to A789. But I am expecting Lenovo will only release JB for newer, incompatible MT6577T or MT6589 phones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oz42:
when doing a full reset, it is a good idea to define the external SD card as default storage before doing that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
Yes, that is actually a good idea. Immediately before or after the data wipe, go into settings->storage, and set SD rather than USB as default storage.

I do not think it matters if you do it before or after, as long as you do it before you install any apps or other stuff. Core data (like contacts, calender data) will still be internal, but all larger data that you would normally store on SD will actually go on SD.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
But you have had the phone since June. I will assume you did have reception at first. If you made no changes, somethings else must have changed.

You claimed you were on a provider that used 1900MHz band for 3G. Is is possible your provider is replacing GSM 1900MHz towers with UMTS 1900MHz ones? Either that, or your antenna inside the phone broke. Either way, there is not much I can do. Replacing your modem files will not help, but you can try, if you want.

Dear Cybermaus,

Thank you so much for your support on this forum. I feel very fortunate to be running your custom room (A660_ROW_S106_cybermaus_ICS_v3.1) on a Lenovo A660 phone. Note that I also encounter the issue of the Recent Event button (bottom right of the screen). "Button Savior" is indeed a good workaround.

Unfortunately yes. And I will not be able to fix it, somehow the A660 has the Recent App button hooked to a non-keymap event, and without a A660 in my hands, I can not properly experiment.

I did warn at the start the A660 was based on 'different' hardware than the P700i and there may be problems. All in all we are lucky it is 'only' the recent app button.
