I think you can try update youtube application. I faced with same situation. Server is block old versions.
[Lenovo K900] elsaudi000:
i did it

i have flashed the K900 with this flash file via MFT http://pan.baidu.com/wap/shareview?...精简V2线刷包&page=1&num=20&fsid=1017693610&third=0

and after that flash this file https://disk.yandex.com/public/?hash=clfZUhtWoyxUYC8FhdpTZEsJ72fTFeo95peqAd9m634= via SDFUSE

and now it works :))
[Lenovo K900] X0LARIUM:
What's MFT?

I'm still not clear what is the correct procedure and what are the right files...

Can someone kindly do a step by step guide for us noobs? Plz?

Thank you...

People need to go through and read this starting at post #1 everything has been explained multiple times use the search feature. You don't need to post multiple times the same thing your response will not be different. Also search for your answer on google if you can't find anything here. If you don't know or understand what your doing then don't do it. This is for everyone.
[Lenovo K900] X0LARIUM:
Firstly, there are like a 1000 versions of the Vibe X ROM. Then, there are several hundred ways to flash it. Then, even the 4.3 versions are countless many. Don't you think all this cause confusion for someone who hadn't done flashing before? Think of it, you too learned this way. I'm not asking the method. I know the method. I'm asking which is the final file that needs to be flashed before the 4.3 update. I mean which Vibe X ROM? And then which 4.3 is stable...thats all. No offence to anyone..but we just need to calm down a bit and help each other out. ..

[Lenovo K900] tukulll:
flash the "VIBEROM_V1.0_1403_7_ST_K900" unrooted/ official first, using dos prompt ( fastboot command ), search this thread for fastboot guide, flashing always works with fastboot command. (check your downloaded firmware, usually zip file with system.img.gz, radio, boot.img and several other files in it )

after flashing firmware above, copy the viberom 4.3 firmware to \sdfuse\ folder. ( THE .INB FILE )

it's best to disconnect usb from pc before performing sdfuse firmware update, watch your battery, 50% is enough.

and oh, there's only ONE version of 4.3 firmware at this moment, the other is just rooted + gapps, but originally they're the same firmwares.

unless someone managed to build custom kernel and put the 4.3 rom into it, now that's what we call different firmware.

hope this helps.

Thank you very very much. That's all I was asking for. What is MFT. I can't see any proper guide/way to use it here. Also, what is a non-MFT way in that case? I am guessing it is the sdfuse method?

Hi xda-people! I have a k900 since July and I love it. It is the first Chinese version, now i live in EU and i had no problems with this phone apart from replacing the usbplug once. I can only recommend it.

I installed one of the first rooted international roms from this forum back in the summer. Was always hitting update when a new version came out. As far as I understand (correct me if im wrong) the update removes root from the device, but i dont really use root, so i didnt mind. Now i have the ROW 131227 version, and would need root for using an app. Can you guys tell me the easiest method to get root access on my device now? Is there a way to do it without reinstalling a new rom?

I wasnt really following this thread lately so any kind of help is appreciated. Thanks
[Lenovo K900] zakzad:
Hi there, Thanks for the detailed reply. After succefully rooting the device, I installed the WiFix manager and I tried what you mentioned and it didnt work. Ofcourse because depending on the channels & regions you mentioned it seems i need the 36-64 channel and the second method.

well my problem is simply, though i got root and everything I still cant edit the files. I tried via adb pull and push, but still didnt work.

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

I tried almost every root method available for this device and the only one worked with me is the following one :

1. download this file and extract into folder SDFUSE on your SD CARD. https://mega.co.nz/#!jYYAARLC!ch3h9E...fNBjUZwdkr2gFM

2. reboot into bootloader -> recovery -> SDUPDATE

3. reboot after finishing the installation of the rom.

4. Now you will get Superuser installed, open it and in the settings check "allow all"

5. You have root permissions now. Enjoy !

*Note: This rom is kinda an older version and it will downgrade your firmware.

cydia impactor

I think you must be using ROW ROM, so if you wanna get your k900 rooted, i recommend use cydia impactor, the easiest way to get root on ROW ROM. Just google it how to use it. It works on mine. :good:
[Lenovo K900] tukulll:
MFT <manufacturing flash tool>

sdfuse <infuse thru SD storage>

MFT performs complete firmware flashing, while sdfuse mainly performs ROM updating. but i don't see any differences on these two methods after numerous flashing on my phone, i may be wrong, feel free to correct me.

MFT method usually required when our phone fuqed up, without even able to enter recovery or adb mode, but if your phone mainboard/ EMMC is already damaged, that's different story.

if you prefer to flash using MFT method, see this fig below:

configure your MFT tool by clicking OPEN ( top left corner ), then go to settings. Apply, OK, close, restart the MFT.

not every attempt on MFT method succeded, sometimes it stuck/ fail before complete, to solve this, disconnect phone from USB, press and hold power for about 3 seconds, ( the screen remain black/ off state ) then restart MFT, choose firmware and reconnect phone to usb.

*** only disconnect phone from USB if MFT output FAILED, or 100% success, NOT in the middle of flashing progress, this could break your EMMC partition. the only way to revive the partition is SEND to warranty/ change mainboard, unless someone managed to create a tool that's able to repartition the EMMC.

*** if we are to flash firmwares by ourselves, then we are ready to face these consequences : broken MMC, broken mainboard, data destroyed, even broken heart.

Thanks man, but the link requires a password. Do you have one?

Btw the cydia impactor method is not working for me. :( Thanks anyway

People who have successfully flashed the 4.3 updates.. Do the basic functions like calls and message work fine? This is my only device and I don't want to mess it up.. I have to travel about an hour for work so if anything goes wrong, friends and family freak out.. You know the feeling.. :P.. So is it advisable to flash the 4.3 or wait for a better option..?
