Need Help

Hallo! My phone are also bricked and MFT failed to flash the radio_firmware_6360.bin. I saw your post on this thread and I thought may be it can help me to fix my phone.

Can you clearly explain the step!? because I've looked on my PC and i didn't find a folder called fwfiles
[Lenovo K900] tukulll:
you don't need to create exact folder name, just use any name you want, e.g c:\my rom, or c:\noob.

from that folder, right click on any empty space inside folder window while holding SHIFT. choose open command prompt here.

you just need to download any rom, but i prefer pre-rooted ones. then, extract those rom files to a folder of your choice as stated above.

ready your phone to droidboot mode, and plug in to pc.

follow those 5 steps you just quoted, fast boot flash etc...etc... and take a look at your phone's screen and command prompt screen, wait for each command to complete before advancing to next one.

there's a bug while flashing droidboot.bin, it will say "error bla..bla..bla.." well you can ignore this step, and continue to next steps.

after those 5 steps completed, your phone should restart (fastboot reboot step), and it will run normally.

props for him to create the guide, it's the most effective way to unbrick, flash new rom.

MFT mode don't always get the job done.
[Lenovo K900] essaka:
First of all! thank you for replying so fast; I have send back the phone to the seller, let see if they can fix it, if not I will use this method.

I started having this problem when I use the International Rom 47, and following the tutorial in the first post. I read almost every page of the thread and I'm not the only one having this problem with this Rom 47
[Lenovo K900] JLaCroix:
FYI, there will be a 4.4 release but likely just a stock ROM and will wipe your data on upgrade.
[Lenovo K900] essaka:
Hey! Good news, where did you hear that?
[Lenovo K900] JLaCroix:
I complained a lot to a regional sales rep and they confirmed it with internal development.
[Lenovo K900] QuBeX:

[Lenovo K900] rushland:
i've tried the step for flash this ROW, but why the data is corrupt ?

it makes my K900 is hang on startup, can't go to the homescreen after failed flashing
[Lenovo K900] Vertebro:
Hello, i'm new to this forum but I've already read some things about flashing and optimizing my K900.

Althrough I love this phone, I think it has some serious leaks in the stock rom from Lenovo.

So I flashed it, rooted it to optimize at best this UI. But I seriously think of changing the rom.

So I was wondering if it is possible to install a "pure" version of android (I mean google's version) on this phone, or even when KitKat is released, to change to this version.

I don't know if you understood, maybe it told it wrong. I just wanna know if this is even possible.

Thanks !

[Lenovo K900] Am0kkY:
Hi.

I've tried to root my K900 by unzipping the ROM and putting the files in the SDFUSE file.

I did every step correctly but my device ended up not booting. It starts to boot, but the lenovo logo flashes several times then I'm back to the recovery with a message "No command."

Been trying to fix it for two weeks now.

The second type of flashing the ROM needs to power cycle the phone while installing the driver, and since my phone won't continue the booting, that failed too.

Any idea how can I restore to factory image? So I can flash the rooted ROM using the Manufacturing Flash Tool?

PS. I am not a noob, but I've been only using Nexus Devices so far, and rooting those are easy. I can't find the factory image to the K900 anywhere online. Also, I can't access the device storage from my PC since it won't boot.

Thanks in advance.

SYSTEM apps

Hi All,

I just flash version June 06 ended with 130603 with overseas rom.

but i miss 2 Best apps and i look everywhere but could not find any. does any one have any back up and post it here include the attchement.

the apps are: Lenovo store and Lenote

please be careful when you try to flash update ROM, it became more and more smooth, but the heat / Temperature worst, not to mention metal build. so it is Hot in literary and figuratively...:laugh:
[Lenovo K900] serialzapper:
Hi, I simply followed the fantastic instructions posted by Cyman on page 1 of this thread. No need to install any other ROM - just make sure you follow the steps carefully and you're in business.

Just to add some of my observations...

Google maps works fine, but no voice on Navigation - tried to install google text-to-speech but it doesn't work.

The stock video player is awful - video playback hopelessly lags behind audio

Can't get battery % in the notification bar

If anyone knows how to change the lcd density, that would be a nice option to have.

All in all, battery life is fantastic so far. Easily lasted 24 hours with moderate use.

Regards.
[Lenovo K900] ajftl:

Resolution Changer by Nexter (paid version) was the only one I could get to work to change the DPI to custom values. Running at 420 right now and loving it.
[Lenovo K900] Sw33t_Lov3r:
Hi. I'd like to ask. Why did you change the resolution? "Resolution Changer" Does it change the resolution or the DPI density? So did you change the resolution or the dpi only?

I can't see why would someone wanted to change dpi and resolution. I think changing the resolution could affect the system if you change for example from 1920x1080 to 720p. Is it to make it work faster because of the lower load of pixels on the screen? I still don't understand.

I know the lower the resolution the faster it works, was that the purpose?

Its native dpi and resolution were bad at something? Please explain a but so maybe I can consider it.

I currently have the younger cousin of the K900; the Motorola Razr i and I compared it to the Galaxy S4 screen and apart from the obvious better quality of the S4 screen could not see a single benefit nor advantage of it having a full hd display. The Web pages I visited showed the same views, the Play Store showed the same view as the Razr i screen, etc, kind of disappointed at the full hd "feature".

In my pc monitor, its full hd display showes me more space than my old one, and the full hd one truly looks awesome in all way. Don't know. Should it be like that in the full hd smartphones too?

[Lenovo K900] mclife:
I didn't change the resolution. Just the DPI. The purpose of that is to get more screen real estate (everything is smaller). Has nothing to do with performance.

Is it like changing resolution in a pc monitor? When increased resolution is applied everything looks smaller and there's more space for the user, to place more icons or windows. Is it ?

ready your phone in fastboot / droidboot/ sdfuse mode before connecting it to computer.

*** was always fail to do the MFT thingy, windows said drivers not correctly installed/ no drivers found ***

Do not attempt to enter sdfuse /fastboot/ recovery mode when your phone is being connected to computer, doing this may screw up those drivers you installed.

if something called intel MFT driver failed to load bla...bla..bla.. in device manager, ignore it.

if your phone can't even enter fastboot/ droiboot/ sdfuse mode, well me think you're screwed.

may the luck be with you.

It's been some months this K900 has been around. I've just heard it'll (finally) be released in my country (Peru) and become interested again!

I'd like to ask: Has its overall performance been improved (by OTA updates)? Is it still heating a lot? Have the initial issues been fixed?

Looks like after rooting is still giving some bugs... Any feedback will be appreciated!

I'd like to buy it when it arrives. n.n

[Lenovo K900] tUlAR123:
Can somebody gimme an explanation as to:

1. Why is Lenovo not releasing the source code?

2. After the new update, why is brightness set to max and 3G is turned on automatically? (Not to mention even more frequent call drops)

3. Note II is getting 4.4 and if Lenovo is not releasing the source code, shouldn't they at least support their flagship phone for 18 month window?
[Lenovo K900] tukulll:
1. Imagine when full source is released, people are trying to install unlicensed windows operating system, which will be a huge loss to microso*t and it's biggest partner, intel.

2. IDK, never had any call drops here, I just flash firmwares with fastboot, never used OTA updates.

3. K-900 is no longer their flagship phone anymore. In my opinion, this phone was merely just their "new hardware test to market".

Do you notice the reading on the back case? "Manufactured FOR Lenovo, PC. HK."

So, this phone and the source code are not in Lenovo's hands. They were Intel's at first place.

Just my 2 cents. got anything to add or debate, I'm open.
[Lenovo K900] tUlAR123:
K900 was lenovo's flagship phone until last month. And also HTC one x, one x+, note 2, s3 etc. which are more than an year old are getting the updates. My point when I said flagship was that at least this phone should be supported with regular updates for at least an year. Whatever the reason/s be, if lenovo can't release updates like rest - lenovo deserves to eat ****.
[Lenovo K900] Chris_K900:
Hey,

it´s enough to flash system.img.gz via SDFUSE method, so you´ll be keeping your settings and apps.

Jst unzip thee rooted package, put system.img.gz in SDFSE folder, unplug USB, reboot holdig Vol+ and power, release power whene enovo logo shows but continue to hold Vol+ for a while. Then select SDupdate, nd there your go.

If it fails (happened one time to me), you need to flash it using fastboot.exe, which is part of the MFT. Boot into fastboot havimg the K900 connected via USB, open a cmd shell, type fastboot erase system, then fatboot flash <path to system.img.gz>.

Have fun !
