New ROM released for K860-Rom_2013-07-05_10_04.szb

Hi All,

Found a new ROM released on bbs.lephone.cc

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3478003682&uk=1677832625

Comments on the site

k860 perfect use 4.2 System - smooth and stable power to join Google to streamline large memory framework (already root)

Test yourself with a day is perfect, the fully functional, signal stability power system comparable to 4.04, comes with full-screen virtual buttons (choose Open Full service just fine, not a brick), joined Google market, big game without pressure. Memory consumption is very low, turn left 398m, 200m above the normal use of leftover. Streamline the release of unwanted software and pre-installed software space. Beautify the status bar icon (figure electricity consumption and color signal icon). Other test your own!

Hi everybody,

I got some fail durin the ROM update and i dont know why, i cant recover the phone. I acces the menu (power and + volume button) and try to install a ROM but it´s saying KERNEL FAIL. Somebody knows how can i recover the phone? Recovery option doesnt work.. Maybe copying the original ROM in the sd card and installing from it?

Thanks in advance.. I'm in paniccc.. ;)!:eek:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hpitaliano:

Thanks everybody!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amoyan:
tried this but says CRC error after reading

I tried updating to this ROM but failed in step 2 of the SD Update i.e. it failed CRC checks after reading from the SD. Not sure if it is related to the type of SD ... so will try again ... with another card

in the mean time using CM10 v2 ... no compass i.e. doesnt work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jbctiong:
Phone Down?

Usually flashing failed is due to sdcard problem and phone not responding could be due to battery low.

Always ensure the battery is more than 70% when flashing ROM, this will eliminate possible phone down problem.

If your phone is not responding, don't panic charge it up for a while and re-try flashing again.

As for the SD card, normally it works well with 4G or lower capacity.

For card which is higher than 16G, it is recommended to format (FAT32) with 16Kb allocation size.

Just sharing.

Google maps does now work! The location services have been fixed too! Bluetooth hasn't and there is no radio app in the ROM so I guess that isn't working either. My first impression is that it is a very good rom. Hope that helps

Go to SuperSU settings and untick "Respect CM root settings".

I did that, didn't work. Until i wiped cache,davlik + fix permissions through recovery. Thanks.

You guys tested the personal hotspot? I can't get it to work. It says mine's active but it does not show on the wifi list.

hello guys,

i've flashed back my k860i to android 4.1.2 ( stock firmware )

was running android 4.2.1 before

by using the sd upgrade (sdfuse) method.

Here is the list of all the available ROMs and recoveries:

htt p://bbs.lephone.cc/thread-526181-1-1.html

Find the one you have and redownload.

If you're having same problems you can try and edit build.prop and add this:

quemu.hw.mainkeys=0

You can use build.prop editor or just any text editor, depending on your preference.

You have to have root for this so I recommend you to install CWM recovery, you can find it in the same link, and install superuser to gain root.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] mszi:
a k860i user here, i just to want to share what i have learned so far and also ask about my problems, it might help other k860i users.

1. all stock jb roms that i've tried so far, have the apn problem (which makes it

impossible for data connection to work), at least in the middle east. i've tried

three operators in two countries(uae & saudi arabia) and on none of them i can

connect to the internet via data connection. kiotu and vikrant roms have the same problem, and the solution that vikrant provided(replacing the file telephony.db) didn't work for me. so far i have found two roms that can connect with data connection: ICS stock rom for k860i, and miui roms(i have tested miui versions: 3.5.17 - 3.6.28 - 3.7.5 , and all have working data connections). i haven't tried cm roms.

2. in miui roms. installing gapps is easy and fast via miui market. but the market incompatibility issue exists in miui too. using the market fix provided here work

for some apps, but not all of them. after applying the fix there are still apps

that show incompatibility message(mostly local apps or islamic apps. examples: salatuk - my stc - al ahli mobile). is it possible that replacing all the files in permissions folder with that of a row rom (as in market fix) would solve this?

3. although miui roms don't have the same location problem as in other jb roms, location service is still problematic in miui and doesn't work on some apps, and they can't determine location. i found out that applying market fix fixes this problem too (maybe because we replace android.location.provider in the fix?).

4. so far, the best rom for k860i is miui in my opinion.it has less bugs, is fast and stable, and provides some alternatives in miui market, xiaomi account, backup, etc.

5. i've asked here before about a way to install the ics row rom on k860i, and so

far no one has provided a solution. if someone can find a way to flash the row rom on k860i, i'd really appreciate it.

thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] relevant_placeholder:
The only row rom available is for k860 but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work on your k860i too, or am I missing something?

Because the CM rom from Linkscue is a k860 build in essence and I have it running on K860i without an issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] antz7:
Well i've went back to version 4.2.1 for the moment through OTA update and the navigation bar is working :)

I've checked the links and found this version

(官方4.1.2)K860i_1_S_2_002_0167_130427.szb

(file size 409.71 Mb)

from pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=515144&uk=1714830815&third=15

i'm currently downloading it and will check it

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

On the stock firmware of my k860i (4.1.2)

i was able to use use mobile data ( had to manually configure the APN )

Then i did "system upgrade" (ota) and it updated to 4.2.1

with this version i can't manually create an APN setting with my sim card fitted in the phone

(keeps saying APN list not completed...).

I've inserted a china mobile sim card and with this one, i'm able to view the current list of APN available and also create a new one ,configure it manually and save it. But when i switch back to my sim card, i still get the "APN list not completed..." message

( phone still stock, not rooted )

I would also like to know how to flash Ics row rom k860 on the K860i :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mszi:
I've already tried it, it doesn't work. When you try flashing it, the screen goes black and although the rom seems to install, it doesn't show anything. You have to flash a stock rom without seeing the screen and by memorizing the options in recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
Any news on JB 4.3 ? :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] relevant_placeholder:
Wow. It escapes me how is this even possible. When you first select sd update and it recognizes the rom file, phone reboots and the file checking, decompressing and installation begins. Afterwards it reboots again and downloads baseband firmware, then proceeds to boot the system. At what point are you having problems?

edited to add:

I can't locate same link as you provided for the ROM file, for 427 this is only one I see listed in Official section:

htt p://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=1560219730&uk=3106797123

You do report same size of the file so I downloaded from the link in the post and this is md5:

611e6616f8afb6c8251e45ad6a637793

Are you getting same? In windows you can use this tool:

http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/

In linux it's matter of opening the terminal and running:

md5sum /path/to/your/file
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mszi:
Normally After recognizing the file, the screen goes black for just a second, and then starts checking the rom and flashing it. After that second, nothing is shown and somehow the phone's display goes away. It seems that the rom installs correctly, because it reboots and you hear lenovo's boot tone, but no display. You have to flash a new rom by guessing the options, and when you flash it, at the same step where you lost your screen, it comes back and works normally. Someone in this thread mentioned that for flashing the row rom on k860i, a minor change is needed, but without explaining more
[Miscellaneous Android Development] relevant_placeholder:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] relevant_placeholder:
I don't really know about USSD fixing, I'm not running official ROMs so I don't really know.

But I went to check the post you mentioned and to perform this you do need root and have /system mounted RW.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] antz7:
Ok, I'ill look for an easy way to root the k860i on this thread

( stock 4.1.2 rom )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] relevant_placeholder:
Without downloading any root apps you could try to get the signed english CWM recovery from here:

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=1516797553&uk=3106797123

Then copy this file to the phone, restart to official recovery, install the zip from sdcard.

There are three SU apps you can install now from the new recovery:

CWM Superuser:

download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip

SuperSU:

http://download.chainfire.eu/298/SuperSU

Superuser:

After installing and restarting you should have root.

You can download ES File Explorer and mount system RW and then do what you need to.
