K900_ROW_LA_1_S_2_009_0035_130822_DVT3_CPUsign ROOT

Ok here we go.

Rooted system.img.gz for rom K900_ROW_LA_1_S_2_009_0035_130822_DVT3_CPUsign created by me is here: http://we.tl/BrfpPnPYyn

I suggest you download full stock ROM from here (never know, you might need it):

https://mega.co.nz/#!PcZlWLhR!EuMhWR9sZhdcoKr_-dMl7xv2hnBlx8rHeUORrvQKmA8

or here

https://mega.co.nz/#!JNYTFSRD!BNhQQBR0-lBZoRVL2Ze4-kXxqQ1ZVWnqVYDrovQkkUA

Then replace the original package file system.img.gz with the one I created and flash with usual method.

Enjoy :good:
[Lenovo K900] jejemc:
I thank you bobr76 installs ;)
[Lenovo K900] a2h2hemingway:
thank you... but it still doesnt work ... i ve installed it and tried to run it but the same error comes "cannot connect to camera". Any other suggestion?
[Lenovo K900] jejemc:
Hi you try to update your phone?
[Lenovo K900] a2h2hemingway:
I have updated it using wifi but still it doesnt work... Still "unable to connect to camera" previously i flashed using the roms in the first pages... Do u think it affected my cameea function because i could use the camera before I flashed it... My ROM version is 727 now.. Thank you for responding
[Lenovo K900] QuBeX:
Try to flash this with the manufacturer method

[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
I see Bob you rooted already. Thanks. I suspect there may be another row rom aoon but 4.2.2 hopefully as China 827 version is 422 unlike this 822 row ROM which is still 4.2.1. I installed this 822 row last night without root only to be disappointed it was still 4.2.1 and went back to 727 row that you had rooted also. Thanks for all your work.

I think there is a way to put GMs play on China rooted...I remember seeing somewhere. The China 827 422 has very good speaker phone and in call volume. Messaging also much faster opening loading even when loaded with thousands of messages.
[Lenovo K900] a2h2hemingway:
You mean using manufacturing tools? I flashed the easterneuorope and the southeastasian rom. Did it but still the same... Oooh really.... it is really frustrating..... I even unistall the supercamera and reinstall it using Titanium Backup but still not good... I tried to use a dalvik chace clearer from the playstore but it did not work either.
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
Adding Google to Chinese version is not good. It didn't fully work when I tried.

We need to wait for ROW version with 422. Until then we can be happy with 827 / 727 :D
[Lenovo K900] jejemc:
Re small return on the 822 version of rooter by Bobr76 successful installation and works very well thank you Bobr76 : Good:
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
Yes MFT tool is best to flash this unpacked rom.

In your case there must be some bigger problem. Did you try to do a "Factory data reset" from phone?

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

You are welcome. Don't forget to hit thanks :)
[Lenovo K900] a2h2hemingway:
I have tried it too... But still did not work... Oh one more thing.. I could not also use the flashlight app.... And of course the other apps from playstore (camera360, camera zoom FX ) do i have to claim the warranty? And i have never drop this phone or cracked it... Do you think it is possible to affect the camera by only flashing some roms?
[Lenovo K900] jejemc:
re the yes it starts to make a lot personally all works very well awesome camera, flashlight ect ... so yes your phone must have problems.
[Lenovo K900] a2h2hemingway:
Oooh i see... The problem is that i havent received my warranty card yet haha.... They said that it would come in nearly days... But my phone had already had some issues... I will try to flash with the rom in this page... I want to upgrade the OS ;)
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
I suggest you contact seller and ask them for replacement as soon as possible. Sounds like hardware problem if you can't work it out with apps or roms.

And before returning it just put stock ROM on it which it came with device.
[Lenovo K900] trungduc5151:
did you try other camera apps in market
[Lenovo K900] jejemc:
yes or another pc super camera on the Chinese site?

I have done it too dude, but still it could not fix the problem. I think I really have to contact the service center.
[Lenovo K900] dabee69:
I had continuous issues with contact manager that stopped to work. It was once in a while and then several times an hour. Very annoying. So far no issues after upgrade.
[Lenovo K900] rajivmishra13:
i will suggest to flash stock room and them visit service center.

Guys

I wanted to ask.. ......no disrespect to admins.. .but. .can we not have a more organized discussion some where else.. ...outside xda?
[Lenovo K900] hoangtu2410:
i have no problem after update
[Lenovo K900] Chris_K900:
For me, battery life has extended a bit. No issues so far. I run the rooted version, did upgrade on system.img.gz only.
[Lenovo K900] gn0s1s:
New update has definitely changed my idle drain, to just under 1% an hour, with wifi and syncing on! very impressive. Still works way to hard on web browsing via stock,chrome, and FF, Opera (full version) seems to run a little lighter.. Not sure whats causing the processing overload. Apps etc, don't really heat up the device, aside falcon pro, which has the browser inbuilt.
[Lenovo K900] passlogin:
Hi,

I've got a bizarre issue with this phone. It's been working perfectly for months (thanks for the roots, bobr76!) but yesterday all of a sudden the call app started behaving oddly - when I make or receive a call, if I don't have a headset plugged in (or connected via bluetooth,) no sound comes out by default. The speaker icon on the call screen shows the customary three waves, but tapping it to get the mute "x" turns sound on instead. The sound works as expected with or without a headset connected literally everywhere else.

I installed the new ROW firmware this evening and the problem persists. Clearing the cache and data partitions didn't help either, but considering that sound does work - the default output of the app is just inverted - I don't think it's a hardware issue either. Any thoughts?
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
You are welcome :)

Described problem is very strange. When flashing 727 are you using MFT tool or loading .inb file and using sdfuse process? These two methods seem to be a bit different.

I suggest to flash 727 stock with sdfuse / .inb process. Hope it helps...
[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
thanks..found here someone got a workaround for google play on chinese rom

(and you are named in one of the messages...!)

http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-...ogle-Play-and-How-to-Root/td-p/1131681/page/2

see the message by hesh for google play. Someone else said they used appbrain.

Meantime..there is a 0903 update to the 827 chinese 422 rom and we are still stuck with the 421 rom (am still with 727)
[Lenovo K900] badstarHD:
gud day guys, does anybody have an issue with the call quality? gsm or cdma (3g) i dunt know in other countries. im from Philippines btw.

[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
I'm mentioned there only for rooting ROW rom, not putting GMS on Chinese rom. And that's two months old post anyway, lot's have happened between :).

I personally like to wait for new ROW version instead of sideloading google apps to Chinese.
[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
I mentioned that your name was quoted in that thread yes but not in connection with side loading (or attempting to) Google play etc...just to let you know that you were famous elsewhere. Thought you'd get a kick out of it. Anyway.
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
:D :cool:
[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
woo hoo! managed to install google play and maps etc on chinese rom..went through lenovo store then app brain (signed into appbrain using google id) then do not know what i did (unfortunately) got first play books then maps then upgraded lenovo store...then rebooted...

also upgraded to 0903 rom version (fixes some games issues apparently and has some upgraded modem..noticed this when it was doing updates)

only no root..

EDIT one irritant is 2 apps previously purchased (rest are fine) come as incompatible with device (did not have this before)...do not have many purchased apps anyway but will put
[Lenovo K900] prie07:
agree 0903 is very fast rom & smooth, test with quadrant & vellamo score increase significantly, only with antutu score same with 0822, yes we need root & gapps :)
[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
posted images...play is working. downloaded apps..maps working too
[Lenovo K900] passlogin:
I've flashed all my roms using the sdfuse process. I don't have access to a Windows PC so the MFT tool is not really an option.

Anyways, the only .inb file I could find a link to was the very first 0047 ROW rom; flashed it to no effect. I also tried letting the battery drain to zero, but that didn't seem to work either.

But since the problem only seems to manifest with the call app, would it be possible to replace it, or edit its registry or whatnot to default to speaker output? I tried looking in Google Play, but they only offer alternative dialer apps, which all default to the problematic call screen when actually dialing someone.
[Lenovo K900] Rdmkr:
How high does the K900 score on the new antutu version 4? What are the subscores?

I've noticed in review videos that some games don't run well, Iron Man for example, is this common? Is there a way to fix it?

Can it run other operating systems than android? Any difference between x86 and ARM chips in this regard?
[Lenovo K900] prie07:
other method to install ROM file from this site AOTA Poller using recovery, it's easy step

1. download rom from the link

2. copy .zip file to the root of internal storage (USB STORAGE)

3. power off

4. power up with 'hold power button & vol up'

5. choose 'recovery'

6. on recovery screen choose 'apply update from internal storage'

7. select rom file .zip > push power button

8. done
[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
Thanks! That is very good to know. I downloaded those roms and was wondering how to use them. They looked like somewhat like cwm zips but not quite.
[Lenovo K900] tukulll:
now this device has been rooted,

all we need next are AOSP roms, no themes, no custom launchers, no bloatwares, nada.... clean android, i bet AOSP roms could crank up more horsepower in 3D intensive games, change dpi to display more information on screen. :good:
[Lenovo K900] ransagy:
Considering the fact we have no usable source, thus no device tree and no CWM, I'd hold my horses. Add the fact there is no Intel SoC device out there that has AOSP/CM/MIUI etc yet at all, despite some being in market for a few months or even a year, No Intel SoC device with major/western market availability.. Yeah, Not very bright chance on that.

If Lenovo fix their faulty source, We might start rolling that ball. You can probably build CWM already based on the work for the RAZR i/Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, But i didn't get that far. Maybe someone else will take interest.
[Lenovo K900] prog2:
I've been doing custom recovery.img on the basis of (RAZR-i) CWM. Flash OK! Not included in the recovery mode.
[Lenovo K900] ransagy:
A step further than me, then. Could never get fastboot to flash my custom images. What did you do?
[Lenovo K900] prog2:
Used WinHex and Kitchen.
[Lenovo K900] prog2:
Custom cwm (Galaxy Tab 3 10.1) flashing OK. just will not start. will be further.
[Lenovo K900] gooberq:
I had the SD fail error and sent the phone to China for a replacement. Does any one know how much time the Lenovo service people will take to look at it and issue a new replacement phone, Its been close to Three weeks the seller got the phone and he is still saying Lenovo people are looking at it.

Thanks in advance.
[Lenovo K900] QuBeX:
We can work with the android-x86 project source, the only thing we need is a custom kernel which is not too difficult to build but first we need the full source and of course a cwm recovery

Enviado desde mi Lenovo K900_ROW usando Tapatalk 2
[Lenovo K900] ransagy:
android-x86 doesn't really target the same SoC's we use. Yeah, A device tree might help, but i don't know how much that will do.

CWM SHOULD theoretically be easier since turl's work on the RAZR i (and oxavelar? i think his repo is slightly newer).

But i still haven't been able to get any chance to boot/recovery images and the device actually booting with them.

The simplest thing i tried is altering the boot image's default.prop to enable adb to run as root.

pls recommend the steps & roms for my version if possible

No. Libhoudini is responsible for translating ARM instructions to Intel ones, so helps with compatibility for things that were compiled specifically for ARM SoC via NDK.

prie07's download contains only the system image, nothing else. It's more like a small OTA rather than a ROM.

Prie07 download is to be flashed over 827 China ROM updated first to 0903.. it puts root in ...am running it now..only I lost play and gmail (had managed to get running no issues on China ROM 827-0903...i need to put them back in..still have maps running though)

hi

can any one let me know how much you paid for this K900, in ebay i see they go for about 625 USD. Looking to buy one, not sure from where to order this phone. i'm in US

Thanks
[Lenovo K900] ajftl:
That's the price I think I bought from that same guy paid that amount he ship fast you need to install Google apps tho its a Chinese phone they don't allow Google over there you'll have to flash a rom with g gaps and honestly that phone is not worth it unless u want to stand out from the crowd with a massive different phone lol I doubt it would be a good Dev support for this phone neither phone is not a fast as the htc one or LG Optimus g pro camera is ok needs some improvements think about it
[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
Can you elaborate on the shortcomings of the K900, as you see them (and perhaps compared to the HTC One)? Like camera performance, etc..

Do you have a problem with the ROM, or with the hardware?

Also, what do people lucky enough to have received the phone think of the camera and its low-light capability?

JD China just sent me a vague email about 2-3 weeks delay.... :(
[Lenovo K900] xxlap1xx:
I know this is off topic, but does this phone have a sd card slot? I'm confused because there are conflicting infos out there saying yes and no.

Thanks
[Lenovo K900] mclife:
Nope, not the current Chinese model. Maybe future models will...

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

I've had the phone now for 2 weeks, and really like it. I am have done a bunch of videos showing its capabilities. My friend has an HTC One. I plan to do some photo comparisons soon.

[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
Thanks for the videos and photos, mclife! (I was getting frustrated with the delays in delivery and was thinking of switching to an HTC One, but your Deep Dive video dissuaded me :)

Would be curious to see that K900/HTC One camera shootout :) Do you notice any improvement in low light compared to the Note? Also, how do you rate look and feel compared to your friend's HTC One?

Finally, does this phone have a FM transmitter (I know it has FM receiver)?
[Lenovo K900] mclife:
For low light camera performance, I've found that with no flash and both phones in night mode, the Note actually has brighter images. The main reason for this is the Note jumps all the way up to a 1/2 second exposure time, where the K900 doesn't go above 1/8 second. If you take that shot with the Note and you're not steady, or there is motion, you will have a blurred image. I am hoping Lenovo updates their camera app to support longer exposure times. With flash enabled, the K900 jumps ahead and produces more truly exposed photos (the Note tends to over-expose).

As far as look and feel between the K900 and the One, I think the One is the second best designed phone ever, with the iPhone 4/4s/5 being first. I have never owned an iPhone, but I've always respected their industrial design and quality. The K900 is rock solid though and feels super premium, yet still light in the hand (its lighter than the Note). There's no flex, nothing creeks when you squeeze it, and it looks very sophisticated. You won't be disappointed with the industrial design of the K900. I would rank it above all over phones out right now, except for the HTC One and iPhone5.

Not aware of an FM transmitter.
[Lenovo K900] ajftl:
Where did u get google+? Haven't been able to find that apk it doesn't show for on the market for the k900
[Lenovo K900] mclife:
I rip my own apks. Install them on my Note from Play, back them up, copy the apk to dropbox, and install on k900 from dropbox.
[Lenovo K900] ajftl:
Cool anyway can u share it? That's all I'm missing lol
[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
See if Google+ is among the Google Apps here: http://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/

Alternatively, download an old version of Google+ from http://www.redmondpie.com/google-plus-android-apk-download/ and update it through Google Play.

Are you liking the phone better? :)
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
Hi. Just got my k900 today. Of course I rooted, this was first step :) but however I am still seeing lots of chinese bloatwareon it. And calendar has plenty of chinse still inside it. Seems like need to wait for some better rom...

Mclife can you tell me shortly how do you back up apk's on other device? I will deal with dropbox and installing later, first need to know how to back them up from other device...

By the way from play store I cant install maps or viber or firefox. These are so far crucial apps for me, but hoping your trick will work :).
