You have to enter fastboot mode only to install drivers. After this reboot your phone, connect it with data cable and run as admin #Recovery_cwm.bat. Thats it. Your phone will reboot automatically after installing new recovery.

Re: [ROOT][ROM's] Lenovo IdeaPhone (LePhone) K860 root

@Holandeserrante

then we can safely say that a baseband sw is present . if you can check if your seller replace your phone that will be the right way to do this.

otherwise, if you want to see what is really happening on the phone, take some logs.

run a Terminal

#su

#logcat -b radio

but before u do that can you confirm if the phone complaining that there is no SIM even when there is a SIM?

Custom Rom

Hi there,

I'm from Philippines too. I'm planning to buy a quad-core android phone and one of my choices is lenovo k860. Is there any available custom rom for this device? Answer is highly appreciated. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] k1llerm:
Re: [ROOT][ROM's] Lenovo IdeaPhone (LePhone) K860 root

You can find many roms for the k860 including cyonogenmod ! All you need is read previous posts and you will find anything for this phone ! In my opinion is the best choise this cheap high end phone !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
I´m sorry Amoyan, but could you please explain what a baseband sw is?

The phone by the way does not complain that there is no SIM even when there is a SIM; I insert the SIM card, put in the PIN code and than it starts up with the regular user screen, so untill then there´s no problem whatsoever.

Also, I don´t understand how to run the logs you´re talking about; I´m pretty new to the Android O.S.

Each day I´m more amazed about what my phone is doing; yesterday at work I decided to take the SIM card from my work´s phone (different provider: Movistar Spain) and put it in my K860 phone.

Once again, no signal.

So when I got home I tried again with my work´s SIM and all of a sudden I got some signal, but not very strong; some moments I got 3G and some moments nothing.

Didn´t turn off the phone this night on purpose and when I got back to work, once again NO signal.

I did some more tests too; when I was at the shopping mall with my wife yesterday, she had 100% coverage (H and 4 white stripes) while mine (with my own SIM card) had E and 1 stripe at some moments, but mostly nothing.

So, bottom line; where my wife´s phone has strong signal I get mediocre, where my wife´s phone has mediocre signal I get none, but basically I always have no signal, either with own SIM card or with another SIM card.

It´s like my phone has a broken antena or something.

Thanks, I run the script successfully and the phone reboots, but I still can not access into recovery. I use QUICK BOOT, and even power+vol up and choose RECOVERY but nothing happen. Still the same as before I run the script
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xxx-man-by:
You just have to choose in QUICK BOOT menu item RECOVERY and your phone will reboot in CWM Recovery. From bootloader (when you pressing "Vol+" and "Power" at booting and choosing item "3. Recovery") impossible to enter recovery.

Hello,

Is there somebody from holland with the Lenovo k860.

I cant use the phone on the mobiel internet, and i now that the software needs to change. But how?

It's a lot of information, and i dont understand everything.

Please help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
I´m now starting to get really nervous with my phone not getting any signal; wrote to Lenovo China & wrote to Etotalk from whom I bought this phone; all very nice people, but their solutions are of no help. Lenovo recommended a reset, that didn´t change anything and Etotalk sent me an app called Signal.apk and that didn´t work either, besides it´s in Chinese, so no idea whatever the hell it does exactly; looks like it´s a signal booster.

Besides the phone is draining the battery like crazy; charged it full yesterday and it´s now at 50% and I haven´t used it.

Just flashed the ROM again, this time to the English / Russian / Indonesian etc. one and no improvement at all.

Please people, there must be someone who knows what´s goin on with my phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amoyan:
Re: [ROOT][ROM's] Lenovo IdeaPhone (LePhone) K860 root

@holandeserrante

baseband software is the part of the software that goes to the radio part of the phone. this actuslly runs the gsm signalling etc. when you flash with the lenovo szb file (like the row rom) you must wait for it to finish flashing the baseband which is after it reboots BY ITSELF the first time and there is a message on the screen that says (in funny english ) "please waiting for 60s" in green. when this is done it will reboot again to normal mode.

if does look like you have the baseband software correctly flashed.

talk to the people who sold you the phone to see what options you have on changing the phone etc. its strange to have a DOA though.

Hi Guys. I already received my K860i that ordered from China. Last night, i tried to root it but my problem is my my PC and laptop doesn't recognize my phone. And by the way, where can i get the drivers for this phone? Help very much needed.... Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amoyan:
Re: [ROOT][ROM's] Lenovo IdeaPhone (LePhone) K860 root

when u connect to pc in addition to the two usb drives the first item is actually a cd with the driver. use that to install the driver.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidneo:
Ah ok... So It will automatically appear... Now, my main problem is my computer and laptop doesn't recognize my phone.

Thanks in Advance....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amoyan:
Re: [ROOT][ROM's] Lenovo IdeaPhone (LePhone) K860 root

yes thats normal. the driver is in the drive named Lenovo Phone K860... so just install it from there..

so just look for this drive in your computer which i presume is running windows ... i dont have a mac so wont be able to say if its the same for a mac.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidneo:
Hi Amoyan, when i look into the drive, i just see my C and D drive. Other than that, nothing appears.... I tried using other cables but to no avail...

Thanks...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kiemthu123:

1. turn it on

2. check the "USB debugging" box

Power off phone. Power on phone. plug in usb cable to phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidneo:
I tried it sir... Doesn't work either... Frustrating....

Is there some site where can i download the driver for lenovo K860i? Kindly share the link for those who know where to get it...

Appreciate the help.... Thanks....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amoyan:
install any of the tool listed here ... it should install driver too ...

http://lenovomobile.com.ph/home/#k860_downloads

Additional note: to get an android phone to connect as usb mass storage requires NO driver ... i.e. its standard. so this above installs the ADB driver for K860/860i.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidneo:
So i think my phone has a problem... I already tried the different methods suggested but to no avail....

Any other recommendations before I contact the lenovo support or worst send this device back to China? :crying:

This might be some of a longshot Amoyan, but I remember now that some time ago I installed an app called Beats Audio Root, which completely messed up my phone and I couldn´t get passed the logon screen after the phone rebooted, making it imposible to get into the main screen.

The only choice I had was to reflash the Android to get rid off Beats Audio and its nasty side effects.

Now I was just going through some websites with people complaining about the same thing; Beats Audio messed up their phones.

And it ocurred to me that maybe, even though I managed to reinstall Android and get into my phone again, Beats Audio ****ed up some drivers or something, causing me to not have any signal.

Do you think this might be the cause of my problem? And if so, how could I solve it?

Thats all.

USSD codes working ONLY in ROW firmwares (K860_1_S_2_03_0172_121224, update_K860_1_S_2_03_0178_130116, K860_ROW_0113_121022). Install it and everything will works.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] amoyan:
Re: [ROOT][ROM's] Lenovo IdeaPhone (LePhone) K860 root

It does when there is a newer version available. So if the rom is version 0172, and a newer exists in the ota server, system update will create this folder. So ... if you already have this update.zip then you can place this file into the folder.

"1. Create a new Directory name: /sdfuse in your SD card;

2. Copy ROM with .szb extension to the new directory (keep only one file in the directory);

3. Press Power+VolumeUp button together until Menu appear;

4. Using Volume buttons to scroll to "SD update" and select using Power button;

5. Just wait till it complete and reboot (be patient). DONE!"

you should use a 2gb sdcard...
