I've tried to change just the A760 with A706 in the fingerprint string and letting the rest of the string as before...

now the phone is not starting and I can't replace the build.prop with the backupped one because adb says filesystem is read-only and i can't remount it as rw because su seems not working.. (if I type su in adb shell I get nothing and the shell doesn't retourn until I do ctrl+C)..

In recovery there's no way to mount the /system as rw.. I think the only solution can be to flash cwm but do you think the one for the a706 wlll work in the a760?

EDIT: Installed the cwm, replaced the build.prop and now it's always stuck with the "WO" screen as before... :(

EDIT 2: changed permissions of build.prop to 644 and now working.. :D

Now.. what should I put in the fingerprint string to get the play store work?

system upgrade failed to update.

Dear All,

Recently i reinstalled my Lenovo a 706 to the original stock rom. But when i tried to update it, it is saying "network connection failed" eventhough i am connected to a wifi connection which is working perfectly. I tried the same with 3G.but still no luck.

Can anyone help me out to sort this issue. It is in the original stock rom (Baseband version: A706ROW_1_A_2_0046_130705) Not rooted.

Thanks in advance. :(:(:(

Pay Attention Please

READ CARREFULLY OP thread... the qsb file cant be flashed from CWM in this recovery onli zip files... watch out kiddo... you need to enter in bootdroid mode (power an vol+) there you will find the sd update option
[Android General] yogaahk:
solved,

new case : system update , no network even i have turn on my wifi, my system still 18 and i want to update to 21
[Android General] gr8techie:
Let me check. Also, it not just the apk but in which location it is and what permissions it has.

EDIT: your problem is solved. Great, then. But, i do advise all users not to play with system files unless they know what they are doing! Atleast, take a backup. Everyone CAN afford a memory card. :)
[Android General] gr8techie:
Just download latest full stock firmware from the links provided in this thread and then follow procedure carefully to flash it. That should solve the problem.
[Android General] lionheartcgr:

damn..

my problems keep piling up. i flashed the q neon custom rom on the first page successfully. however it seems that i cannot manually install any apk file unlike in the stock rom. i already checked install from unknown sources but still not working.

it seems to me that the neon custom rom does not include the package installer. it only contains the one from google which has the verify and install profile.. how do i solve this? :(

Other Custom Rom for our device!

Check it out... an amazing port of MIUI 5... I found it very nice... bad news... only works with ROW Hardwares (for sim signal, I mean).

http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/2314-custom-rommiui-v5-ideaphone-a706/

Not my credit, all goes to developer of this rom.
[Android General] Rama Himura:
Go to PlayStore and search for "System Apps Installer." It's free and can be used if your phone is rooted (if you use custom ROM then you're ready to go). That should replace the Package Installer.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img with the recovery.img of the A706.. it's working fine but when I click the volume buttons (to go up and down) the screen goes to the middle then after 1sec turns in the rights position... it's strange to explain, I hope you understand what I mean... :)

I've always the "incompatible app" problem in market... with market helper it works but I should do it each time after a reboot... tried modifying build.prop with other phones (nexus and nexus S) but it doesn't work... :(

[Android General] sonymanw:
I think I know what you mean. I don`t have a problem with play store or i did not notice it. Did you update by OTA? I only need cmw for prapare a backup and try to flash some files.

What about twrp?
[Android General] leopesto:
Not update, stock rom... as said just downloaded the cwm recovery.img and flashed it in bootloader with fastboot.... ;)

I think everyone else realises that Dolby Digital Audio works only when EQ is turned off.

This is because Dolby will be deactivated if there's other sound enhancer/equalizer/audio mod interfering.

There's no solution for that, but I will soon make a workaround and post it soon.

Its using V4A's convolver and load the dolby digital impulse response.
[Android General] Bronchos:
Hi there

I'm using PowerAMP for playing music. So far, from what I hear, I think the Dolby Digital effect can be combined with equalizer effect from PowerAMP. I can hear the difference when I only enable the PowerAMP and when both Dolby effect and Power AMP equalizer are enabled.

Update: I recently installing ViPer4Android. V4A is just amazing. It seems both dolby and V4A can be used together when I using Player Pro

[Android General] gr8techie:
Dear lance26,

I have personally flashed the CWM by having the correct drivers and android development kit installed using the posted method. Maybe you can't boot into recovery? Try rom manager to boot into recovery and verify if it is installed or not.

Also, i have been messing with my phones starting with galaxy s1 and up to nexus 4. If u do have issues, then try the alternate method of flashing recovery suggested in the initial posts by one user.

Thanks.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and Android smartphones. I have a stock unit that wont update via OTA even trying many times to tap the update phone and the message showing you have have the updated version... but i can use the phone normally.. Facebook, YouTube, etc. I have been using this for more than a week now.

My version is showing A706ROW_1_A_2_001_0004_130609. Can i download the version A706ROW_1_S_2_001_0020_130821 MegaFull (1120 MB) directly and update it via SD? Will this be straight forward? My phone is not rooted or modified yet and i do not have plans on rooting the unit at the moment.

I hope there are some upgrade for chinese devices in one or two monts... If is not... will say goodbye to lenovo a706.
[Android General] edy7:
thanks for your inputs! so this model really cannot view sms in landscape mode ( no choice but a 3rd party app ). the video playback i was pertaining to was when i record a video and play it back, the audio is almost not audible. i tried 3rd party apps but still get the same result. :( the mispelled word is just something i noticed and thought if it was just on my unit alone :D.

Finally Custom ROM in chinese device with sim signal!

Ok trying again to put my chinese device in ROW rom with sim signal, and found a solution:

1:Flash via droidboot a chinese stock firmware I used the 130325

2:Rooted device with vroot and installed CWM Recovery via ADB

3:In the procedure to install custom rom Qneon one of the steps is to flash boot.img via fastboot... well I just didn´t do this step and flashed directly Qneon_1.7.1.zip via CWM

4: Did data/factory reset, cache reset and dalvik cache reset

internal & external storage

hello everybody, I just got myself a Lenovo A706 and while I search for some answers, I found this great forum and this thread :)

I have set the Primary Storage to my SD Card, and I have make a change to my phone so that it installs new apps to the SD card (using the android SDK and then the command "setInstallLocation 2" - no rooting). But I still have some troubles:

1. why is it that new apps still installs on the internal storage?

2. when I move apps from internal storage to primary storage (Move to default storage card), why is it that there are still some on the internal storage? For example, I installed WordOn HD and for total it takes 37.99MB, with 1.39MB on the internal storage and 36.59MB on the SD card. How can I make them all go to the SD card?

3. the apps' data are stored in the internal storage. How to move the data to the SD card also?

4. some apps like Google search, hangout, yahoo mail can't be moved to the SD card. Can I move them also?

I haven't rooted the phone as I don't know how and to be honest, the rooting tutorials are too techie and scary for me :o

Thank you!

Lenovo a706

Hi guys!

I need some help and suggestions. I got my Lenovo a706 few days ago from Suncellular thru the Plan 450. I tried exploring the phone.

Here are my observations:

1. The battery is easily drained? How can I maximize and make my battery last longer?

2. The system downloads automatically updates, how can I turn it off?

3. My phone vibrates eveytime there's a notification. How to turn it off?

4. How can I maximize my internal as well as external memory?

5. When using FB, I can't edit my post.

I do hope someone can help with my queries.
