The instructions provided in the guides are quite clear however i dont understand the rooting procedure
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sekptar:
Yes that's work.

He took english, easier than chinese..

Thank for all
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pudil:
Rooting is quite easy. Just download a "root_by_javum.zip" file, and flash it via CMW. Nothing more, nothing less.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abs0lut3z33r0:
I got it rooted , I will post some revisions in the instructions soon

Hi, I've installed the driver (SP_Drivers_v1.5) in Step 2.. but couldnt find the 'Mediatek...' under 'COM and LPT'.. When I plug in the phone (turned off), it didnt show anything in the device manager..

what should I do next?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abs0lut3z33r0:
This is entirely on my own experience on win7 x64

2) Preparation for memory flashing:

a) Download this package and upack it as a whole somewhere in your computer:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25344416/P7...te_utility.zip

alternative link: https://mega.co.nz/#!tFcFyAhJ!OInJjj...l9kDzv9y_3ukNg

b) Turn off your phone, unplug cable, remove battery. Insert the battery but DO NOT plug your cable or power on the phone.

c) Open your device manager in “windows/system”

d) Connect your phone by cable. A new device named “MT65xx Preloader” shall appear for about 3 seconds in a section “Unknown devices”.

e) Catch it with mouse and manually change the drivers to the ones located in “SP_Drivers_v1.5” folder of downloaded (unpacked) file.

f) After updating, turn off phone [the phone is already off], unplug and remove battery, reinsert battery and plug a phone. You should see a device “MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM (Android) (ComX)" in a “COM and LPT” section. If you see it, you are ready to go! The device display is also displayed for about 3seconds similar to the the previous one

- If you don’t see it, you did something wrong, most probably you were not fast enough in point e), retry from b)

After all, i can use this rom using cwm mod recovery, but i think there s a bug since i cannot back up application using setting menu. Is it right ?

solved, have to install backup n restore apk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] furredd:
yes, I am using windows 7 x64 too.. it did show up under COM and LPT but only for a few sec.. then it disappears.. this means that I can proceed?

EDIT: I use windowx xp too, and its the same. only appears for a few sec. Rooted!

Confirmation & Questions

Hi,

i can confirm the same behaviour. I also managed to load the new driver but when I connect the device again the "MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM (Android) (ComX)" in a “COM and LPT” section" only shows a second or so and then it dissapears again. Just like furredd describes it.Not sure if this is ok.

Note: I can see the driver using USBDeview.

Another thing: I tried twice to download the "4) S110_Pu_mod, CWM Recovery flashable, my modification of latest world ROM, shrinked, added More Locale and Xperia Launcher" from Mega but the download stopped at ~65% both times.

I use windowx xp prof.

Any ideas?

Edit: One more thing: I have a phone from Etotalk with their Rooted ROM. Does this mean I can not pull this update through or how am i supposed to understand it?

Thanks

Guys,

new "world" rom S111 was released:

I have prepared shrinked version, compared to original it is rooted, cleaned from the apps (175 Mb) I do consider waste, added Xperia Launcher and More Locale. So far everything seems to be working well. Mod is prepared to be flashed by CWM RESTORE method.

Can someone help please?

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abs0lut3z33r0:
Did you input "09612681234" I am trying to know if the lenovo dialer treats 09612681234 and 9612681234 as the same number. Are you on S111?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pudil:
Sure I did, you wrote what you need.

As I am guy who did this mod, you may bet that i am on S111. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pudil:
1) that behaviour is correct, you dont need to worry. Phone is in bootloader mode just for 2-3 seconds

2) I would reccomend this process:

flash S110 full ROM (point 9, link 2) via Flashtool according to point 6, reboot

flash S110 recovery via flashtool, according point 3

go to CWM, erase phone memory, erase cache, erase Dalwik cache

flash S111 recovery (point 9, link 5) via 8

3) the problem with downloading is most probably on your side / side of your provider. So far none of the tens of users reported such problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Noname-2013:
Thanks... one more...

Hi Pudil,

many thanks for your reply. Just one more.

My phone is S121 version (china) and I want to convert it to World.

The choice of the ROM-versions you proposed above are according to that?

thanks a bunch!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pudil:
Yes, the first ROM in my proposal (point 9, link 2) is a full-wipe version, that means its an initial step if you want to switch from "asian" to "european" family. Alternatively, if you want to switch back to asian, use ROM from. 9.1.

With this "base" you can flash than any mod of the same "rom family". Hope that it is understandable.

Some people reports a functionality of "cross-family" flashes, e.g. they have a S121, and they flash S110 via CWM zip install. I would recommend not to do this, because it is hard to guess, whether there will not remain fragments of memory causing a problems.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Noname-2013:
Yes....

all clear now. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Toriko:
I've just downloaded the P770_S121_winflash, but when I tried to flash it , flash tools give me this error:

Please re-fill correct checksum values in Checksum.INI under tool folder and re-load scatter file again!

What should I do?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smartj145:
So have you tried to make localisation works on S124 ? or you tried and there is no way around it ?

thanks.

Hi,

FYI: the downloading issue I had with the Mega links was solved when using the "Mega Extension 1.0.3" for firefox.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pudil:
Its not clear what are you asking about, whether:

a) if there is posibility to get from S110 to S111 by OTA

b) or, if the OTA is working in S111 for further updates

Anyway:

a) the Chinese guys noted that S111 was delivered by OTA, and the pack I worked with was the OTA package. But my phone on S110 showed no update

b) who knows :D

Hi

this is what I did:

1. flash S110 full ROM

(point 9, link 2) via Flashtool according to point 6, reboot

(using Winflash utility)

2. flash S110 recovery via flashtool, according point 3

/DONE – OK!

3. go to CWM, erase phone memory, erase cache, erase Dalwik cache

/DONE – OK!

As I wanted to have a clean WORLD version ROM without Root. I did not choose the rooted special version from you. Instead I downloaded the standard one directly from the link you posted.

//

new "world" rom S111 was released:

http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/1186-o...ow-111-130414/

Without success.

The following text comes:

Any advice?

If this does not work I will also be fine with the S110 version as that one seem to be ok also.

Still, if I can grab the newest version before I start setting up everything that would off cause be even nicer.

Thanks for your support.

Note: I found the way to get that damn “MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM “ usb driver to work. I will post it here as soon as I get to it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pudil:
Noname, this process I gave you works only for my MOD. If you want to flash a full update from the "russian" forum, you have to do this:

1) flash the full S110. Do not flash recovery.

2) Download a file from a russian forum, rename it to the update.zip and copy it to the root of SDcard.

3) Reboot a phone as you are used to enter CWM (power on, hold both volumes), update shall start automatically.

The trick is, that a full update does not work from 5.5.0.4 CWM (the one with blue letters) but from original Lenovo one (yellow letters)

How do you guys solve the low internal memory problem on P770 ?

I am getting into low memory problems on OFW even after the following modifications:

1. Rooted and selected Default write disk to SDcard

2. Moving Apps to SD using Android built in function

3 . Using TiB to move all Internal memory apps to SD Card (some apps cannot be moved through Settings>Apps), even after moving to SD card some apps leave a part of program in internal memory .

4. I have uninstalled some lenovo apps like : touchpal and its language pack , lenovo notepad

5. I have converted some Google System apps to User apps and then moved to SD Card using TiB .

UPTIL now nothing unusal has happened but still the phone has only 125mb of free internal memory and i will again get low memory notifications after installing 10-15 apps.

I have one more question : Since i have converted many system apps to user apps will the S111 update using CWM fail?

Thanks for the link, it's superb!!!

My rom is s111, now I get rid of USB storage 2GB and merge with internal storage, I have internal storage goes to 2.7GB and my Ext. SD become USB storage.

I did it on clean phone, so I didn't have to worry about data in the phone, this process will erase all data on your phone. Be sure to do it.

1. extract anzhuo365.7z, you will get apk file , install it on your phone. copy S890_P770_disable_intSD.zip to Ext. SD card

2. run it, and you will have a choice for adjust your internal and usb storage.

3. It has 5 choices. The red one will eliminate your usb storage and all will become internal storage 2.7gb

4. I pressed the red one. ok and ok,

5. press the button below the red one to go recovery mode

6. wipe factory reset (I'm not sure that we will have to do it, but I follow it)

7. install S890_P770_disable_intSD.zip from Ext. SD card

done!!

If anyone know how to add Reboot and Recovery to Power button, please guide me.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] motherninja:
Guess I already tired with this kind of "weekly" updates from Lenovo! LoL.. Just kidding! :highfive:

I admit that this is a good things from the company, but on the other end, it make difficult for users because we have to erase all data & log, and then re-install and re-setting the phone all over again.

By the way, Pudil, I don't mean to be rude, but why you always release your mod as a CWM backup? I think it is easier for users (like me) if you release it as a flashable zip, so we can replace previous versions without doing full wipe/factory reset.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jhontor:

You can backup you apps and their settings with Titanium Backup or Helium by Koush, but you have to resetting your phone all over again, that's why I asked Pudil about flashable zip methods instead of CWM Restore so we can flashed it over the previous versions.

1. convert my world rom to Asian rom (via flashtool)

2. root

4. Then it will run the partitioning and reboot into CWM ?

Or I can do the repartitioning in CWM itself since some mod rom already provided with CMW ?

3. press button under the red one, it will take you to your CWM

4. apply zip file

I thought the apk app just do prepare something before you can apply zip file in recovery mode. I 'm not sure , do with your own risk. Good luck

ps. after apply zip file, the phone might can't boot. you have to go to CWM and factory reset. then everything work fine.

Unless I use flashtool to load the CWM recovery again, but that only gave me one shot. I can only go into CWM once. After that I reboot to normal system and I cannot go to CWM again.

P770 ndroid maturity queries

Hi Pudill,

First of thank for making the rooting simplified and other ROM contributions else this phone will be incomplete!!!

Pardon me for posting this query if it is something which should not have been here.

1.I am using Tasker to enable the Mobile data periodically inmy other phone.

Here I see some "Data Connection " option to be in On state but Data is not really connected.(But whenever I manually switch it on ,the internet data happen).Anybody facing this problem?

2.How to get the ADB connected to this device.

I enabled the MTP and USB debugging in Phone.Anything specificallto be done at the PC side?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] motherninja:
You can follow these easy steps to fix this issue:

1. Make sure you're already got SuperSU on your phone

2. Get Root Explorer or similiar file manager apps

3. Go to /system

4. Rename file recovery-from-boot.p to something else (for example: recovery-from-boot.p.bak)

Now you need to reflash again CWM or TWRP from FlashTool, boot again into OS, choose Reboot to Recovery from something like QuickBoot or MobileUncle Tools. Alternatively you can turn off your phone, and boot into recovery by holding Vol Up & Power at the same time.
