I'm here for help you, and yes I bought K900 :)

Here is the international .inb file to flash.

Part One: How flash international version:

1. create SDFUSE folder in the / of sdcard.

2. insert inb file there

3. go to fastboot mode (Vol+ + Power) and choose sdfuseupdate

4. done.

you'll get official international 47 rom (ROW region). It has google apps, it has play store.

INB file is here:

https://mega.co.nz/#F!xNdywAJA!AFbE_HikuoFODLpoc1j7Yg

Part Two:

I made HEX research and separated files from INB files. You'll not find those files in the internet, I didn't find it. So, I decided to research .inb

For debug, you can find them here:

https://mega.co.nz/#F!1YE1xDxC!IflBj13Im1549nu0feBvnw

Part Three:

I made root in the international 47 ROM.

how to?

1. download this system.img.gz:

2. go to fastboot mode (make sure you flashed 47 INB file already).

3. install manufacturing tool, all tools can be found here. https://mega.co.nz/#F!0UlDnLLR!IuQdqFqT-oIXtvRlQNtLBw Find fastboot in the program files folder, you'll need this fastboot.exe tool for intel phone.

4. use cmd,

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash system system.img.gz

by using those commands you re-flash system.img.gz that I made, it includes root (su library) and superuser. Superuser doesn't respond when need to allow or reject root, so you need to go and manually allow root rights in superuser for any application.

system img rooted: https://mega.co.nz/#F!MZ0SXRIT!R1ZAawbEjKcRm3ZXFJ0siA

Root was made by me, you'll not find this info in other sites. I write this info on xda first time.

Enjoy!

do not brick your phones, I'm not responsible if something you do wrong, but I tested and it works fine at my K900.
[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
Thanks Oleg for your work! I registered at the mega site but do not know how to to download. All I see are upload options. Sorry for a silly question. Thanks.
[Lenovo K900] olegfusion:
There are no need to be registered to download files from mega. Go with right click of mouse :)
[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
Was trying from the phone. For some reason cannot download - cannot get the option. Have had this issue before from other (android) phones too. Will try at home from PC. Thanks.
[Lenovo K900] josealbacete:
Thank you very much for the contribution!

I and I have the international rom, I can go directly to step 4 and make root?

or I have to do everything?

thanks
[Lenovo K900] olegfusion:
Yes.

But I found one more interesting thing. First time I flashed .inb file after chinese rom, but now I found full pack of fastboot files and flashed it (same 47 rom).

https://mega.co.nz/#F!IJF2hLYI!GpcLinegjjcRM6puQa0GXg

Wonder, but I have less heat releasing from the phone on the load of CPU.

I don't know why.

I recommend to flash full fastboot pack first, then boot and then step 4 - root.

p.s. files are uploaded
[Lenovo K900] josealbacete:
thanks

I test tonight
[Lenovo K900] Sw33t_Lov3r:
Did you mean you have more heat? 0.o

Looks like the K900 is starting to take off! n.n

[Lenovo K900] ajftl:
it does works well .. maybe im tooooo piki idk and i use the phone a lot for a normal user the international rom would work perfect no problem but for me id like snappy all day like my htc one for example

WAITING FOR THE NEXT UPDATE VERSION OF THE INTERNATIONAL HOPE IS THE LATEST CHINESE UPDATE BASE U GUYS GOING TO LIKE IT
[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
thanks downloading now..

what a bunch of crap.."you are using an outdated browser"..yeah right..mega with Chrome teamup..excluding others...anyway using chrome just for this as am happy with my 'outdated' browsers like Opera.

Thanks Oleg..this is great stuff!...now if someone can deodex it.

One thing both roms (chinese and intnl.) do not locate the caller here in U.S. thought it is because of telelocation file in system/app (which is not present and anyway is not in every rom example not in aosp builds) but do not think that is the issue..other thing is no contacts pictures in call log/dialer call log

otherwise working well for me
[Lenovo K900] diffstyle:
This rom comes out of the box with Google PlayStore and does Text-To-Speech work on Navigation, voice navigation.

for people who wants to register through lenovohome.net. just register QQ or signup directly to the sites.

in case you are stuck in Q and A part. just use your brain. all we need to answer yes or no in Chinese letter. now the question is ....do i have to spill the steps. ?? come on man. you are better than that!!!
[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
got it to work..thanks!
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
Excellent work Oleg!!! Thanks for this, finally root on international :good:

By the way will flashing system.img reset all settings and clear the content?

Any good software you are using to backup everything on phone?

Edit: never mind, couldn't wait :). I flashed it and everything is kept the way it was. Except now I have root, finally! :)

There is one thing I noticed different. With this system.img I got some chinese app, kind of file browser. And I cant get rid of it. Any chance for removal?

ROM LENOVO K900 – ROM Android 4.2.1

Hi,

I found a downloadable ROM for LENOVO K900 on the needrom website. Is it safe to try out?

Not allowed to post the link as I am a new member here.

Cheers
[Lenovo K900] olegfusion:
guys, now we have root and enough good ROM. there are the problem with auto brightness. May somebody work with levels for good auto-brightness?
[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
There is a built-in backup restore tool in the ROM see security tools something like that..similar to miui backup (not as powerful though) but does not back up entire ROM. One China specific app is root explorer which I removed and replaced with my own.
[Lenovo K900] olegfusion:
Chinese root explorer was inserted by my mistake :D I didn't check it, they said "it's for Intel compilation". I looked on it with closed eyes and inserted into rooted img. Sorry :o
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
How can I remove this chinese app?
[Lenovo K900] olegfusion:
easiest way it to open root explorer, then open /system/app, then mount as r/w and remove rootexplorer.apk
[Lenovo K900] drkamaldeep:
Excellent ROM till now.

Using it for last 24 hrs.

1.No need to root before installing. It automatically roots.

2.All Chinese bloatware removed.

3. Better dialer

4.Fast restart

5. Performance increased.

Did u enabled widetouch in Settings/Feature Settings/WideTouch ?
[Lenovo K900] fotisg24:
yes i did!

probably it's my fault! i uninstalled everything from the "apps" list that had chinese name or looked useless so probably i uninstalled something that "wide touch" was using.. i didn't uninstall the "wide touch " app itself though... but i will now!!!

[Lenovo K900] Atrainlan:
Was wondering if anyone else get the new OTA 131227 update. I installed it but can't really see any differences.

The OTA update was only some 4mb, but the full ROM is slightly larger than the 131010.
[Lenovo K900] pjsplayez:
Lol yeah.....cant really see any differences but there is a bit different with antutu benchmark score. After i update the score drop to 19xxx before that my score was 20xxx.
[Lenovo K900] Tegzike:
Hi mate!

1. Yes, of course

2. Don't know, cause my first rom was this VIBE Rom. But my battery life takes circa 2 days without WiFi.

3. I tried 2 of them: Need for Speed - OK, runs smoothly / Simpson Tapped Out - NOT ok, it says not enough space...

4. ?

5. Google is your friend in this! But you can find that with Root Explorer in the /system folder.

K900 ROM update

Hi all, I'm a new user of this forum and I'm new possessor of this amazing phone

I received it two days ago (from great seller in aliexpress.com), with this settings:

in SDFUSE folder I found - K900_ROW_1_S_2_009_0131_130727.inb (probably loaded by seller)

in system settings phone now - K900_ROW_1_S_2_009_0206_131010 (probably updated automatically)

So unfortunatly I haven't my language in options settings (italian), anyone can tell me which version ROM can I load for it ( I prefer the latest official), where can I find it, the load istruction and eventual risk..thanks so much...

I'm reading Qubex ROM impression, let me know more details of this Vibe ROM on Lenovo K900...Thanks

kernel

hi people

i want to ask ! did someone can play with the kernel (underclock and overclock) or we have to wait until intel give us the full sourse code ?
[Lenovo K900] mydroidfren:
the Vibe v4 rom is great was able to side load Real Racing 3 in and got game going it was running in high graphics mode which you can see mirrors are working find.

will drop frames when all 22 cars are rendered at the same time but once you've pass most of them then its a good as it gets. if you want faster frame rates download RR3 Graphic changer drop to Mid mode then its smooth... :D

stupid that RR3 is listed NOT COMPATIBLE in PlayStore really hopeless rating! :confused:
[Lenovo K900] mikey199:
You can underclock but not overclock we need source. Think you must be root. Lowest the cores go is 800mhz and max out at 2ghz. You can use system tuner or any cpu app.
[Lenovo K900] k1llerm:
i want to underclock less than 800mhz ! lets said 600mhz or 400mhz coz i belive that is the the reason of the heavy battery drain ! on my 1,5 year old K860 the battery last for a day with heavy use ! my 5 day old k900 last less than half day ! :eek:

[Lenovo K900] QuBeX:
Hi friend, In my ROM (vibe v4) , to solve camera problems you have to flash new build.prop. that is because I made a mistake in stock build.prop and it is not well optimized
[Lenovo K900] charming.arpit:
Hi Qubex, you are doing a great job for all of us by proving the rooted and optimized VIBE ROM. But with version 4, I was facing some serious battery backup issues. Battery backup was really poor. Then suddenly yesterday, my battery meter stop updating itself. It would update only when I put it into the charging mode. I tried factory resetting the phone, clear the cache, even flashing VIBE ROM again using SDFUSE method but still the battery remained stuck. Finally, I MFT 727 ROW ROM into the phone and the battery meter started working. I immediately recieved 131227 update notification and i updated my ROM. Nothing new though but atleast everything is stable enough.

With my above experience, i feel there are some serious battery issues with VIBE ROM.
[Lenovo K900] fatsuzie:
I believe it is not the Rom issue. Faced this issue on my other phone when i was using some rooted apps that clashed with each other. (esp: those battery monitoring apps). ;)
[Lenovo K900] charming.arpit:
But I never loaded any battery monitoring apps!

From day 1 the VIBE ROM v 4 was giving battery headaches to me.

And when that battery meter stopped working i was sure this has something to do with the ROM itself.
[Lenovo K900] fatsuzie:
Perhaps it wasn't a clean installation then. ;)
[Lenovo K900] charming.arpit:
What do you mean by clean installation? Can you please elaborate...
[Lenovo K900] GDikov:
Hi and thanks for the reply. I really appreciate the work you have done with the Vibe Rom and the fact that you shared it with us all...I really would have sticked with it if it weren't for the bad camera quality. I am not saying it is your fault at all - everybody knows that this device is currently very hard to configure to its best capabilities and until there is more developers attention, it will not perform as flawlessly as we all want it to perform.(which is really a pity since all its obvious qualities as a hardware platform).

As far as the build.prop is concerned - yes, I have replaced it with the one that you uploaded. Deleted the original one in /system folder, placed the new one, changed permissions to rw-r-r-- and rebooted successfully without any bootloops or errors after that - so I guess I must have done it right :D Unfortunately, however, this did not solve the quality issue...:( I am now beginning to think that maybe something went wrong with the camera hardware itself and I am willing to flash a stock, non-root ROM just for a peace of mind. So as soon as I have the time I will just let it upgrade via OTA and see what happens...

I am really looking forward to the release of the full firmware, but I am beginning to think it may never actually happen. I think somebody just tried to prove a point with this device and then just left it there...But the fact remains - it is a great gadget and never fails to impress.

On a general note, I never regretted buying it...even though I moved from a 3 year old Galaxy Nexus on which one could flash a Windows 95 and still get plenty of software support...:laugh: At least now I have seen both worlds...:cyclops:
[Lenovo K900] Kevihiin:
Hi GDikov,

1. I had no problems with root activated

2. When you do the OTA upgrade, the "SDFUSE" folder is automaticly created and everything in it will be overwritten (I tried it the last time, but I am not 100% sure)

4. Yes there is. Try the APP "Android Root Toolkit". Save Root BEFORE upgrade and restore it after update.

[Lenovo K900] X0LARIUM:
Hey all..

I am from India and currently the K900 is available for 25k. Now that's some mouthwatering deal...the thing is..i have a few questions..

1. First how wide-spread is the dead pixel issue?

2. When bought from India, what do I need to check for- ROM-wise? I know there is this ROW (Rest of the World) ROM for India?

3. Will I get Google PlayStore in-built or do I need to hack+root+flash for it?

4. Will it make sense to get it from Dubai for using it in India?

One last Question to anyone using it in India - Are you guys getting Indian City weather? Like Mumbai, Pune? I have the K900 launcher but it doesnt seem to have Indian cities anywhere..

Thanks for reading!
[Lenovo K900] Atrainlan:
From Bombay here, got the 32 GB model from some dude on Ebay.in. Answered your questions in red.
[Lenovo K900] X0LARIUM:
Thanks mate...how much did you get the 32GB model for??

I am thinking as I return from my family trip..I will buy it..I am expecting the prices to go down even more as it has already come down a good 10K from the launch ..and it hasn't been too long ..

but overall how much would you rate this device??

I am pretty much averse to buy an Android phone, but this deal looks too good to be true..

thanks again for your reply...
[Lenovo K900] Atrainlan:
I just need to find the ROM that there's no camera complaints towards. I use my camera extensively for work so I can't afford to root and end up with a ****ty camera.
[Lenovo K900] X0LARIUM:
true that..me too. I have only one phone and I can't afford to screw around too much...but over all, I am sure it's a solid build. What do you say? hows been your experience... with it..both hardware+software?
[Lenovo K900] Atrainlan:
Like I said, absolutely love it. It's snappier than an iphone for sure.
[Lenovo K900] X0LARIUM:
I swear last question: How much memory did you get Out of Box in a 32 GB? If I buy a 16, will I have enough to load a few games and music?
[Lenovo K900] Atrainlan:
If I remember correctly, 24 was under 'SD Card' and 2gb was internal storage, so 26 total.
[Lenovo K900] X0LARIUM:
Thanks...but SD Card? I thought the k9 doesn't have an SD card slot?
[Lenovo K900] Atrainlan:
It doesn't. I guess you're just supposed to mark some memory as SD card storage in Android.
[Lenovo K900] X0LARIUM:
Cool! Got it..thanks for all your replies (and patience)! :P :good: :highfive: :o

What a copycat phone, even taking SONY's CMOS Sensor, those people back in Lenovo can't inovate ideas I see. And why power a full HD phone with a dual core processor

Intel is not used because it is power hungry unlike Snapdragon

Generic, China assembled phones should be removed.
[Lenovo K900] ean611:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/14/intel_clover_trail_plus_benchmark_comparison_with_arm/

I would suggest you read that. CLV+ platform power is excellent. The idea that x86 is power hungry is a myth. Intel has the best process technology in the busines, and the Z2580 in the K900 is quite power efficient. This is also on 32nm process tech. Devices with 22nm process and Atom are starting to hit the shelves. You can find many small tablets with excellent battery life and performance with Windows and Android with the new Z3740 and Z3770 Atom that are very fast.

Qualcomm is married to the process technology they can use from an external fab, as Qualcomm does not manufacture anything. They design a CPU, and use TSMC to make it. (They could use Global Foundries, or Samsung, but that's not a major difference). Intel is a node ahead, and is the only company producing FinFETs in volume that you can purchase right now.

It's exciting times to be in this business, as competition breeds better products.

EDIT: Also Lenovo is one of the only ODM's that is doing well. HP/Dell/etc are having trouble while Lenovo is growing, and Lenovo wants the phone market. They employ a ton of smart people worldwide, and have Samsung in their sights. Given how they've done in the PC industry, making money with high quality devices in a cutthroat industry with no margins to speak of, I would not bet against them getting into phones. They're a huge vendor in the Chinese market, and they want the worldwide market.

Disclaimer: I work for Intel as a hardware engineer on server platforms. The views expressed here are my own.

Asus going to launch mobiles with Intel atom z2580 processor and look almost same in spec but android 4.3

Reference:http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_6-5953.php
[Lenovo K900] ean611:
A few notes. These appear to be the same platform as the K900. However, they only have 720P screens rather than the 1080P screen of the K900.

The battery sizes are different, but so are the screen sizes, which makes comparison of battery life impossible (until the hands on reviews come in). All hardware except screen is likely the same.

Finally, these are budget priced. I saw a link saying the 6 inch will be $200 out of contract, with the 5 inch being $150.

From my perspective, this is excellent, as Asus is a phenomenal manufacturer. (Lenovo is pretty awesome as well).

Qubex may be able to work with the 4.3 image from these to build more ROMs. Also, there is the Dell Venue 7 and Dell Venue 8 which run the Intel Atom processor, and they're already on 4.3, so compiled versions of 32 bit x86 android are in the wild. Personally, I'll stick with the official ROM.
