first was over the xbsall ics port and it just wouldnt allow the install then i tried to downgrade to stock GB and that installed fine then in the boot up i got a bunch of misplaced pixles on a white screen like flashed up then i get the cm10 boot animation but after a minute or so of booting its still on the boot animation and it just turns off on me.

is there a step by step guide for this thanks. if i need to downgrade i may need a link to a tut of that too cos when i did downgrade my phone kept saying low memory and the internal sd card wouldnt mount.

Hi, before we start

I tried TPT helper on my 2nd Gen blade because the only rom that I can get to install without an error "error in /sd/romname.zip (status 7)" was "fish & chips" and I'd like to be using 4.0. I was using the n00b guide (now I've realised it's the wrong one guide to be using as I am already 2nd Gen and the error must be due to something else) and think I flashed the wrong zip with TPT helper and now only get the android logo on boot.

So here's how I broke my phone...

I opened TPT helper and clicked the all in one option and chose SF2-v1c.zip

Then I chose start TPT

I only get the android logo on boot.

* I cant pass the android logo

* I can load cm recovery

* I can't install any other roms with out an error (status 7)

* I can still install fish+chips but the status bar does not move then it says "install complete" but doesnt pass the android logo

Any help much appreciated

Actually, turns out v.20 was still painfully slow after running a few apps. Just upgraded to v.21 - it has been running perfectly so far.

The common way to unpack such images - is to convert img file to ext4 with sgs2toext4.jar utility, and then, using LinuxReader to open and save files.

The other way I suppose to you - to use android phone and adb. It takes a few minutes - so it`s quite long.

Theory step by step:

1. Convert system.img to ext4.img with the same sgs2toext4.jar

2. Push ext4.img to sdcard

3. Loop mount image to data/ext4 folder

4. Make tar archive of it

5. Pull back ext4.img.tar to PC

6 Unpack it as zip - and you have unpacked image on PC.

Conditions:

- ADB, Java on PC

- root and busybox in the phone

- important! loop mounting support in kernel (boot)

- sdcard with free space mounted as /sdcard/

How to:

drag system.img to system_unpaсk.bat

Bonus:

system_img_remake.bat - all th same, but it let You to make changes in data/ext4/system folder - change apk and so on - and get back to PC new ext4 image - and flash it via FlashTool for ex.

Hi, I have a Lenovo A690 phone. I need to root it. A friend found me a A690_Rootkit. How do I use it ?

It consists of

SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1224.01 folder

recover folder

driver(A690)

A690-rootBy9Sky.zip

Any help would be appreciated if anyone knows any instructions. Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Coulmax:
Good Luck for your A690

Hello Marculos,

I too bought this phone 1 month ago. The advantage is that it is quite cheap on chinese websites, and quite powerful (good rapid chipset, nice screen), :p , but the main drawback is that is isn't rooted, and only in chinese/english (US), and that it is full of chinese bloatware ... and misses Goggle PlayStore :(

However I managed to root it, install a nice CUSTOM ROM with root, install Goggle Play Store, move apps to an EXT2 partition on my SDCARD to save memory, remove bloatware (the most difficult was to know which program to remove, as most of them were written in chinese).

To root your phone (if you trust your friend that provided the zip to you), you will have to proceed carefully, as usual.

There are many forums that explain how to do it ; it is always the same operations, so I don't understand why you did not find one.

1 - follow the tutos to install the drivers (allowing your phone to connect to flashtool in the right protocole for flashing)

2 - follow the tutos on flashtool to install the CWM that should be in your 'revover' folder (follow tutos on CWM ; yours should be a 5.0.2.7 based one)

3 - follow the tutos to install your A690-rootBy9Sky.zip Custom Rom

4 - Enjoy

take care that your custom rom might be in chinese when you reboot ; you will have to select english language using the menus written in chinese letters !

Don"t forget that these operations might brick your phone if you perform a bad operation or forget something (even if the phone is a cheap one, that's always ennoying).

I can't help anymore.

Good Luck

I have also got the Lenovo A690 and have been searching the net for a way to route it, I think I need that zip and maybe a link to a how to.

would be great help as its driving me crazy over christmas weekend and its the only phone I have.

A690 CWM and Custom Rom

Hello dominiclodon,

You can easily find a custom ROM for the A690 by seaching 'needrom a690' on internet. You will have to register to the needrom website, which is currently the only one providing a custom ROM for this phone; and then download all the given files (the drivers, the flashtool, the revcovery (including the CWM-based 5.0.2.7) and the ROM (version 1.4a looks aliek android 2.3.6 and version 1.5a looks like andoid ICS).

Take care that the CWM-based is in chinese (menus are sorted in quite the same order as for an english version). Custom rom is also in chinese when flashed, but after that, you can change the "language" to English US.

The ROM includes root privileges (you will see the Superuser icon), and a RE (in chinese).

I personally removed all bloatware after having installed a browser like Root Browser, and moved most of the user apps on the EXT2 partition of my SD card thanks to Link2DS app. Then installed all useful stuff (AVG antivirus, LBE privacy firewall, a french language package, a Go keyboard (the olnly one installed in the ^hone was the chinese "Sogou" keyboard !).

Everything can be found on the numerous tutos in XDA or in the web.

Good luck

Load the flash tool

Open MT675_Android_Scatter from recover folder

Untick or tick ? Preloader

Click download

Then boot the phone into recovery mode (power and volume +)

how to root

Here is how I rooted my Lenovo A690. THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING INCLUDING IN MY CASE THE IMEI. WARNING !!!

What you need:

MTKdroidTools_v229.exe - only needed if you wipe your IMEI

Full A690 Firmware - got mine off Pandawill forum.

Try this :

http://74.86.85.61/showthread.php?15487-ROM-Lenovo-A690_S012_121018-for-sku35508

or google below - this is the one I used

A690_SO13_12105.

Below all available from needrom. You will need to register

http://www.needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/a690/

USBVCom driver

SP Flash Tool - I used v3.1220.01

Recovery.img (in recovery zip)

A690 ROM in zip file. I used a690_s013_121207_v2.0_9sky

On a x86 Win 7 pc .. extract all downloaded stuff

1/ Connect phone to pc with usb cable. Do not switch on. When prompted for a driver install the USB V Com driver. Should show up in Ports.

(usb2ser_Win7.inf)

2/ You need to maybe change the checksum.ini in the folder with the full ROM in. Change CHECKSUM_SWITCH=1 to 0.

3/ Open SP Flash Tool.

4/ Open MT675_Android_scatter.txt from the full ROM folder, NOT the recover image.

PRELOADER

DSP_BL

UBOOT

BOOTIMG

RECOVERY

SEC_RO

LOGO

ANDROID

USRDATA

5/ This should load a bunch of files as above needed to flash the phone to the stock ROM.

6/ You will need to change the recovery.img to the one downloaded from needrom website. This will load the modified CWM recovery image needed to load the custom firmware. You may need to change the checksum value as above...

7/ Click "Download"

8/ Connect your phone. (Take out battery then reconnect)

9/ If all good you should see a nice green circle and the CWM recovery image should have been loaded together with stock ROM.

10/ Next, copy the custom rom you want to use to the root of the SD card on the phone and rename to update.zip

11/ Reboot the phone, press vol + plus power. You should now see CWM-based recovery

12/ Choose the second option ??/sdcard/update.zip.

13/ Press the bottom left button and the ROM should update.

14/ That should be it ! Mine booted in chinese only and took me a while to find the option to change to english.

15/ If you get invalid IMEI error then you need to recreate the IMEI values. I used the MTKdroidTools_v229.exe tool to reenter both IMEI (same for both). The IMEI is printed on the back of the phone. You can also set the IMEI from a terminal app on the phone.
