Lenovo A706 ROW Issue

Hello!

I am stuck with the last step actually. I have installed the CW recovery and rooted the phone successfully. Now the last part is the flashing of ROM in which I am facing the trouble. All time it gives the same error "No SD Card!". I tried to copy in both memories (i.e. Phone memory and sd card memory) but it is still showing the same error. I have formatted the card as well but results are same. I am extracting the qsb file in the root folder of sdcard by creating a folder with name sdfuse. I have to update the rom because its not just viber which is giving me trouble, is actually mobile's alarm also. Whenever I tried to set the alarm the clock stops working and small things like that. I have the rom A706ROW_1_S_2_001_0020_130821

Please help me with this issue. I have configure successfully with adb and install the recovery without any trouble. Just guide me in solving this no sd card error issue.
[Android General] trelo:
i had the same problem, and the problem was the sd... i changed the sd (from hc to a normal microsd) and the android recovery detected the memory.

Need help guys :eek:

I may have soft bricked my phone. I tried to install new font using Font Installer which requires reboot after installing new font. In the mid process of rebooting to main screen, it stuck in Lenovo logo.

I tried to do a hard reset (I think) by pressing Power + Volume Up and deleting eMMC. but it did not work.

Then, I tried CWM and deleting cache partition and factory reset. Still, nothing changed. Still stuck at Lenovo Logo. anyone help me please? :crying:

[Android General] simbasr37:
I think you have hard bricked the phone. What happens when you connect your phone to PC? Is it recognized by ADB? If not, it's tough luck. Take it to the service centre, act stupid and they might replace your motherboard. Basically your bootloader has been overwritten with the bootloader of the rom you flashed. Without a proper bootloader it does not what to do. However if the phone is detected by adb your might just be in luck.

a706 frequencies??

Hey guys,

I bought an A706 ROW phone....or at least it is running ROW firmware. I am trying to use it with straight talk cellular in the united states with their ATT based Sim card. I can only get an edge connection and data is cutoff when I make a phone call.

What would cause this? If I set it to WCDMA only it loses connection outright. Do I have to have a sim for voice and a sim for data with this phone???

It doesn't seem like thats the case, because it can't connect with wcdma at all.
[Android General] neo24gr:
its normal to loose data connection when you have only edge durring calls.

the data connection is always on ,during calls also,when you have 3g or wcdma data connection.
[Android General] michaelagaudio:
Thankyou for your Response! :good:

That part (the loosing data during calls) is kinda understandable...just a limitation of the phone I guess (because ATT supports data during calls)...but what about the just getting EDGE data? I used a straight talk sim and just got EDGE, then I went to an ATT store and tried one of their SIMS....even tried it using the default APN settings for att (wap.cingular etc etc), And then I tried entering in the APN settings from one of their other smart phones. It still only gives me a slow EDGE connection. If I select WCDMA only in settings I lose all connectivity (voice and data).

Shouldn't this phone get higher than EDGE? Has anyone else used it with ATT? :confused:

Maybe I need to update to the latest firmware?? I am still on 1-18 because I don't have an SD card to update at the moment.
[Android General] bangdes:
Maybe you should try add a setprop 'ro.ril.enable.dtm=1' on build.prop. In my opinion, this mean enabling 'dual transfer mode' (2G+3G). But don't do it if you're not really sure. The another way, set network preffered to 'Auto PRL'...
[Android General] cipher_phinx:
OTA update

has anyone tried the latest update available for our unit? i tried updating recently but i had encountered lenovostockwidget.apk error and it prevents the update from installing.

PS: Can anyone upload the lenovostockwidget.apk here? It can be found in root folder \system\apps. I will be so grateful guys.
[Android General] michaelagaudio:
Hey guys thankyou for the input.

with my last few posts I had been having problems with only Getting EDGE data on ATT and StraightTalk Sims. If I turned it to WCDMA only it would lose connections (voice and data from antenna). It was not an issue with reception..good ATT 3G/4G reception here.

>>>>so, I flashed the phone to the 1-20 firmware. It went through successfully then took forever to reboot. Once the phone rebooted it does not recognize any sim cards in either slot. If I boot into the setup and run a board diagnostic it does recognize a sim card is there....but not in the actual OS. tried turning data on and off, tried putting it in flight mode then out. I then did the next few updates up to 1-23 rom....still no recognition of sim cards! Any ideas?

(I was wondering: I bought my phone on ebay. when i turned it on it says its an A 706 ROW in settings:about.....but I was wondering if its possible If I bought a chinese version that was flashed to ROW.

how can i identify chinese vs. ROW versions outside of operating system?

How can I fix this?

[Android General] michaelagaudio:
I think that I was sold a chinese version of the phone that was flashed to international version that had a modified modem driver to make chinese hardware work with international firmware. When I updated to S121 and then to S123 It would not even recognize the sim card in any version.

Is there a way to tell between chinese and ROW version of phone besides through software. If my phone is flashed to ROW software it might report its a ROW but not actually be one.

Does the model number inside the phone battery compartment say a706ROW? Mine is just A706

The same problem, but on the A800

Hi,

I have the same problem after I've flashed my A800 with Flickair v3 multi-language ROM. It doesn't recognize my SIM card. I've tried with 3 different SIMs in both slots and it doesn't work. Then I installed different ROMs (at least 10, chinese and ROW) and I can't solve the problem. It shows both IMEI numbers (the original written on the phone/box). I even tried to rewrite the IMEI with SN Write Tools (using the original imei numbers). I installed the roms using CWM, TWRP and Flash Tools. Everything works fine, only it can't read the SIM. I don't know what else to do. I saw that many of you had the same problem on A706.

I'm writing here because there isn't any similar topic about A800.

Lenovo Almost Default Rom to Chinese Phones with no SIM Connection

Hello all,

I have spent the best part of the last two weeks trying to find a solution to my phone problem.

I bought it on EBAY and aftar updating the phone to a newer firmware I lost all sim connection.

Discovered I bougth a chinese phone with a rom of a european phone.

But I couldn't find the rom that came with the phone in the first place.

And I tried hard.

Even talking with the seller, in a very limited english I couldn't get him to send me the rom the phone came with.

But I finally did it!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2391801.

http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-a706/.

http://www.phtek.net/lenovo-a706-multilanguage-rom-released-rooted/

These are the places I went looking.

And the rom that finally solved it all for me was the last one.

You need to subscribe and then send an email requesting the ROM. After a while they reply with a link and you just have to:

1. Download it

2. Place the phone in Fastboot

3. Run the .bat file

4. Restart.

And back to international phone :D

Hope this helps you all.

Hi, if you already have the drivers installed, you can use Flash Tool to recover your phone. Start Flash Tool (as you normaly do to reflash the device), connect the phone to the computer without battery, press Power button and then add the battery. It should work and install the firmware.
