I root mine Lenovo A800 succesfully with this manual tinhte.vn/threads/lenovo-a800-root-may-cai-recovery.1857462, but I´m still unable to get any custom rom working on phone. I also tried to flash only ROM from stock row russian rom for A800 but phone doesn´t boot - I was always stuck on bootloop with China Unicom logo - then I flash whole russian stock row rom including PRELOADER, MBR, EBR1 and UBOOT and now my phone is working properly with all google services, without chinese garbage and without China Unicom branding - in essence, that´s what I needed from this phone .

ROM A800

Hi

Thanks for the above posts!

I got an Lenovo A800 recently, and that's wath I did until now:

-root using root_with_restore_by_bin4ry_v17

-install mobile uncle tools using SnapPea

-create backup using CWM

My phone can boot in CWM just using mobile uncle tools.

If I press volume up+power it give the message "have been in factorymode, long press the power button and the normal boot" then boot in factory mode

If I press volume down+power it says "have been in meta mode, long press the power button and the normal boot" and then it freeze.

I wonder what happen if I brick it, and I can't boot CWM because it work only from a working rom with mobile uncle tools installed.

Now I want to flash with a custom rom, or to get rid off chinese apps and install gapps and I'd like some recomandation.

10x
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerstavros:
the only way i found to boot to cwm recovery is by mobileunclestool:/

to delete chinese apps etc, just get root access and use systemcleanup from play store.

get play store by copying these files on /system/app https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lwrqy6d2f7z7qfm/8SY32wnuHg
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breakhour:
We can boot to cwm using combo button, its tricky...the right combo button is vol up + vol down + power and thats only a clue, we cant go into cwm using that combo straightly.

First, we need to boot into factory mode, there youll see some options. One important option is reboot, We will choose this option by pressing home button after we highlight it using vol up/vol down. But before we proceed, prepare two finger ready on vol up + vol down button. Now, when u press home button and device being restarted, quickly press both vol up + vol down button and hold until you come to cwm. Remember, press and hold combo button once screen goes black after choosing reboot on factory mode.

Tried more than ten times on mine.

Hope it helps..

You realy know much about our phones. I am currently using the LeWa rom wich i think is pretty awsome considering the options we have. My question is if we can find a better one (i saw that you already knew about the LeWa OS rom and i wonder if you are aware of another rom....a better one)

Well..since this device still new and minor user..so i thought i make my own custom..some bloadware already remove (my version of bloadware) and stock keyboard are change with experia t ( i use link from kaskus,indonesia link), put some voltage controler witch is i can choose the governor..still tested with my device..and of course replace original launcher.(to much using ram i think)..but that's just me..

Have not tried another rom yet. Still exploring lewa (from kaskus), but i found some major/minor bugs on this rom. Autosync get delayed, eg. Whatsapp, its suddenly comes up with a bunch of messages which some of them has been sent few times ago but they just show up when i open my whatsapp. Same things happen with other similar apps. Rest are pretty nice, i like its speed, smooth, cant find any lag when we go out or back to launcher.

Also saw some roms @needrom.com,

The modifier (socrates) has modified many roms for other types of lenovo phones. His rom are pretty good, i was using a690, and tried some of his roms from that site. Its light, no bloatware, but most of difference between his rom is an appearance, rooted, mobuncletools packed. Cant find any performance tools on it. Maybe he just tweaks using some performance script inside init.d. Just flash it with cwm, and there you go. Recommend to try....hehehe...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bayustev:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breakhour:
im not trying ane performance scripts (oc, governor, etc), since i use my phone for main job purpose. i have been comfort with the speed i got from lewa. since lenovo service center has not so widely spread in my place (incase of brick or anything), so i better use it as it looks. IMHO, im still not sure for endurance of any part inside this phone, even tough we know that lenovo is a good brand, but im not relying so much for it. i was playing hard with lg optimus one before, once got bricked and its easy to claim with their service center.

just my opinion...

Any of you guys experience big battery drain after restart (ocasionaly )?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breakhour:
Yeah, previously i did. Please calibrate your battery. Charge until 99%, then reboot into cwm but keep it charging. Go to advance, wipe battery, then reboot your system. Usually battery stat wont show 99% anymore, it will be lower. So keep it charge until 100% and u may unplug it. Dont do this often, lets say once a month to keep your battery health.

lenovobackuprestore.apk

Rooted mine using SRSOneClick's Smart root. I also updated the CWM to v6. I was able to use the Lewa Os rom. Its really fast and very light. However it doesn't have the original LenovoBackupRestore.apk which I sorely need to restore my Contacts and SMS. I downloaded the russian stock rom and extracted this missing apk. I then placed it in tge /system/apps folder then fixed its permissions. After reboot the icon shows up but when I run it, it fails and just shows an error.message. I am assuming this is because it uses the original LenovoSystemUI. It crashes because it cannot use the LewaSystemUI. I tried to serach far ald wide and wide for other backuprestore apps but could not find any that could read my backup files. Do you have any idea how I can go about this guys? Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alin.softx:
Restore your backup, sync your contacts with google, use sms backup+ to backup your messages and calls journal, reinstall LeWa sync google account to restore contacts and restore your messages and calls through sms backup+. You can't fail if you do all of above things-never failed on me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squallff8:
That's just the thing. I do have my contacts from google but I failed to backup my SMS using other means. :( I used the LenovoBackupRestore.apk to backup everything which includes the SMS but now it isn't working on the Lewa Os rom which I intend to keep because it is working great. I haven't tried the ZTE port or the MIUI so if you guys believe any of those two are faster and lighter than Lewa's, please do let me know! The LenovoBackupRestore up creates a BackupAndRestore folder and I believe saves the contacts and SMS on a file with a .bk extension.

Anyway, does any here know of a custom kernel for the A800 that can support zram and swapon/off? :D The <512mb RAM becomes a bit short when playing games or when multitasking. I haven't tried the V6 supercharger script on it yet but the way Lewa's launcher responds is still very fast and doesn't lag. I was able to find a kernel that enables init.d support by the way.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squallff8:
Hi, is your phone rooted? You need to root it first. For me, I used SRSOneClickroot and Lenovo USB drivers. I can't post any links yet but you should be able to google those two. You should load a custom recovery for it as well. I use CWM. Get MobileUncletools app and flash the CWM (usually in zip file).

Then next, you have to download the Lewa OS rom, google it too. You can try searching for the one posted in the indonesian forum called kaskus.id. It's the same place I got the CWM.zip. Save on your sdcard. Then boot into recovery. That's the tricky part and somebody else here I think found how to do it since you have to go to the meta mode or something. But no fear, get the RRecovery app so you can easily reboot to recovery mode. In recovery mode, you need to wipe system, cache and dalvik cache I think. Then choose install from sdcard. Select the rom and proceed. After it finishes, reboot OUT of recovery. It'll take some time to boot up but once it's done you're good to go.

Remember to backup all your data, one that I failed to do. Don't use Lenovo's Backup and Restore because you won't have that same app within the Lewa OS rom. Use other third party backup apps. Hope that helps. As always, Google is your friend.
