Hello, I have one brand new A800 which was supposed to arrive with a ROM with Russian language inside (which would mean custom ROM and rooted phone) but of course it came with original Chinese Lenovo's ROM with Baidu and those Chinese applications. As far as I can tell the phone is not rooted. How do I proceed now, do I need to root the phone first or I can immediately flash it as described in one of the links posted in this thread?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Amazing because out of the 478 mb, the free RAM on normal usage is at least 250MB!! On my LeWa, the best I could get is around 180MB. At some point in time while playing Dragon Slayer, the game freezes and it requires me to pull out the battery just to restart... Please, can someone build an optimized JB rom for our amazing A800 phone.. :(

Help Needed for Flashing Custom ROM In a bricked A800

Could you please help me to elaborate on this? I have bricked my new Lenovo A800. Now it is just staying in Lenovo Logo. I cant enter the Recovery mode at all. Now I am planning to flash the stock ROM.

I have Rooted and installed Lewa OS. It was up and running smoothly. When I attempted to install a corrupted zip (came to know later), the phone was bricked.

Thanks,

Your phone is not bricked, just has a boot-loop about the corrupted zip. You can use the Flash Tool to repair your phone:

1. Format (exept bootloader and NVRAM)

2. Dowload (select all to reset your partitions)

3. Firmware upgrade (one of stock rom)

4. Root (newest SRS Root)

5. Install recovery (MTK Mobileuncle Tools)

6. Install your prefered ROM again

Hello dear Lenovo A800 users!

I am looking for new Android Phone for me to buy but I am little short on cash, so I am thinking about this one.

I have some questions for you:

1) How it is working? How is the performance and battery life?

2) Did we already have working CVM Recovery on it?

3) How many of you have some kind of ROM development experience?

4) Are there source code for ANY (may be even stock ICS) android for this device?

If I would buy it I would probably try to do some development (CM 10.2 I suppose), I have some experience with porting CM.

Please help an old guy...65 today!!!

Hi.

Just received my (Chinese unexpected!!!) ideaphone A800 made for China Unicom

Have been trough the 16 pages of this forum and some other pages of this and other forums to try to understand HOW TO DO but...I am probably missing some experience to make a proper synthesis of all what I have read.

I wish you gourous can help me.

I understand that if I want to install a custom ROM (to come to normal life -playstore,es explorer,titanium backup , french language...- and get r... of all of these chi... apps ...) I have to:

-flash a new recovery as the system recovery I have on the phone <e3> will not allow to root (is that correct or not?) the phone.If not correct which RECOVERY should I install? It would be so easier...

-once the new recovery is installed I will have to ROOT the phone as a separate step from any ROM that might claim that ROOT is included. Which ROOT should I install via the new RECOVERY system?

-once the phone is rooted I will have to install the right custom ROM for my needs.

Now I have access to DISK D and E of my phone from my P.C. so that I can copy any file from the www on these disks.

I really need a step by step help from experienced people having DONE themselves what I need to do as I have already tried to install a few stuffs that do not work.

Thanks fy help.

Hello, I have an Xperia U locked to Fido and wanted to root it to delete apps I don't use in hopes of speeding it up.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933985

http://tutorialfor-android.blogspot.ca/2012/12/easy-tutorial-root-sony-xperia-u-on-ics.html

I followed both of them. With Davis' procedure, the phone did prompt me to Restore the Rootme backup, and I did, but... it said 'could not restore'. His batch file finished by rebooting the phone and trying to copy a couple files which it couldn't.

With the Flashtool method, I installed version 0.9.8.0, even tho' 0.9.10.0 is out, because the latter install package would not run on my Win7 64 bit OS, whereas the former would. I followed the instructions but as you can see from the attachment, root was not achieved, I tried twice.

Any help? At least my phone looks and acts the same with these two attempts failing. I'd be lost if I screwed something up. Thanks.

Again, when I go to Restore the file (fa01... whatever it is)... my phone reports "could not restore".

Is there anything I can do to make this restore work? I take it the restore of the backup pushed to the phone is key to achieving root?

P.S. I followed the instructions carefully as detailed in the video. I opened a command window as administrator, I checked that the phone ran properly with USB debugging enabled, I made sure Unknown Sources was connected, I typed adb devices and saw my device... I have tried this several times... my phone always says, "cannot restore.... whatever.... " and doesn't restore the backup, and then the phone reboots, there's no SuperUser icon in my App Drawer and it's over.

Depends on what you want out of the ROM. If you want to stick with the Touchwiz look, then I definitely recommend CleanROM, SynergyROM, GalaxyMOD, or Jelly 'Beans' build.

If you want to stick with Stock Android (a lot faster and smoother, but with less features), then I would recommend CM 10.1, or AOKP. You can also try some of the unofficial CM 10.1 ROMs as well since they all have unique features as well.
