The reason I asked about app data is because I was under the impression that rooting gives you access to the partitions where that app data is stored; without root, you can't access where the app data is stored (and so the copy-paste plan is probably impossible). App data is where app settings are saved; without it, MyBackup restores apps as if they were freshly installed from the Play Store, without any other settings saved.

Apps like MyBackup and Titanium Backup and App Manager generally back things up to your sdcard, which isn't affected by any of AAHK's functions.

Like someone above said, if you need to downgrade back to Froyo, I'm not aware of a method by which you can save all your apps and their data.

By the way, I believe an app called Go Backup (not Go Backup Pro) also lets you back up apps (and only apps, not data) without root.
[Desire HD General] dalanik:
You can backup programs with My Phone Explorer, but programs are not an issue - they will be downloaded automatically from Play Store...
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
For some reason, Google's app sync doesn't work sometimes for me on certain ROMs. I'm not sure why; I never looked into it, since I usually back my apps up with App Manager anyway.

[Desire HD General] dalanik:
True, but you can always go to Play on a computer and your purchased apps and "send" them to phone... yes, a bit of work, but better than nothing, at least there's a list of apps and it's easier to install them from computer than from a phone :)
[Desire HD General] lordaccess:
Kinda discouraged to do the root if I can't save the app data :/ I will look at what I will lose and how easy I can regain them and decide. In the meantime does anyone know why my address book doesn't sync with google? (even though the sync is on)
[Desire HD General] recolor-shrink-spool:
Try to put as much files as you can in the cloud. Make screenshots of other information that you want to keep. Make a back up of your SD-card.

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Consider purchasing Titanium Backup (or trying out out the trial version). It just started letting you backup app data WITHOUT root using ADB. See: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-adb-backups-without-root-other-improvements/. It will also very much come in handy once you are rooted.

Is the UI in Chinese?

I just got this phone/phablet as a gift. Specs are quite a beast: 1.4GHz quad core, 1280x720, 8GB ROM, 8MP camera etc.

Would you know if the Android UI is in Chinese? Right now I have the phone for sale on eBay because as far as I can tell, it's not going to work on AT&T or T-Mobile 3G (or more) in the US.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Arne_B:
Yeah, it's only compatible with GSM Tri-band or maybe Quad-band. But WCDMA is only operating at the 2100MHz band (3G). So I guess mobile surfing will probably work but calling (2G) won't work in the US.

Default UI is Chinese, but it should have English in the settings also and maybe even Vietnamese.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superabienator:
I have a K860

I've bought a Lenovo K860, it works fine in Spain. It comes with english and chinese languages. Easily root as you say before. Over 12400 antutu benchmark in my device, but I see until 14500 in others. The camera works perfect and makes awesome photographies. Games and apps runs very fast, GTAIII, Bard`s Tale, PES12, FIFA12, Asphalt 7....

Cons?

Magnetometer compatibility, by the time I don`t found compass app working.

Only chinese development by the moment. In fact there is a recovery.img available and two or three MIUI roms, aal in chinese only:crying:

If you want any other info, contact me, and sorry my bad english.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Arne_B:
So you can confirm it is rootable with the above tutorial?

I think my previous smartphone (Galaxy Mini) didn't even have a magnetometer, so if that doesn't work properly I think it won't annoy me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superabienator:
Yes, confirmed, it works perfect for me.

And I`m agree with you, magnetometer isn`t big problem, but it work fine in test, fails the app compatibility, I think it´s a rom fail and it will be solved with updates.

guys, i am based in china and thought about this phone or the haier x5 pad511.

if the ui is also working in english i ld get it. am just worried lenovo wont release a JB update and if i root it (i have never rooted anything besides a bag of marshmallows) i loose any functionality. is there a JB rom? the miui is pretty ok.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superabienator:
I think yes, you must download gmail.apk, play store, maps.apk, etc, second you must copy and paste with root explorer in/system, and at last open the permissions of any lenovo apk in /system and put the same permissions in google apks.

I hope you understand my bad english.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FelBJ:
hi is it easy to replace stock OS? i m in china and want to use english OS and am not sure if the installed OS has google market and so on.

The stock OS has an option to use an English UI. Market and some other Google Apps might not yet be installed.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jbctiong:
I mean use external desktop charger to charge up your battery and re-flash the ROM via sd-update again. or change to a spare battery if you have one.

Dun worry, it won't brick. I hv encountered that before. sd-update is the way to recover but first you have to ensure you have a fully charged battery.

It is always good to hv a spare battery.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jbctiong:
OTA is only applicable to original ROM for the moment as far as I know.

If you want OTA to the latest ROM, first you have to flash back to the earlier original ROM and activate the update.

Btw, most original/China ROM are not as good as third party ROM. The only application I use is the S3Camera.apk among all the Le's applications.

What did you see when you remove and replace back your battery into your phone?

It should show "Lenovo" follow by a green background with a charging bar across the lower part of the screen, either in Red or Green.(you should ensure it is in Geen when flashing ROM).

If yes, please proceed to

1. Press and Hold on to the Power button and Volume Up button simultaneously, releas hand only when a menu pop out.

2. Scroll up to SD-Update by using Volume Up or Down button and select the function by pressing the Power button.

(Your ROM should be placed in the external sdcard inside a root folder name "sdfuse" and it should contain only ONE file.)

3. Then just wait for it to complete the flashing patiently.

Good Luck and hope it works.

to flash from the computer ... is to use fastboot mode ... and on the menu on the Mode A on the phone you choose USB update ... assuming you already have the right drivers on your Windows PC. On Linux you probably need to have fastboot installed for your distribution.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jbctiong:
May be you can try leaving your phone alone for a longer period (>1/2 day) after removing the battery. In the mean time, using external charger, charge up your battery fully (ensure your battery is working) . Insert the fully charged battery into your phone and try the SD-Update method again. Please ensure that all the steps are carry out correctly during flashing and the battery is ok.

If it still not working I suppose you have to send it for repair.

I am pretty sure that if you insert your working battery into your phone you should be able to see the battery life status bar across your screen (a while after insertion) even if you do not switch it on if your phone is still alive.
