[Android General] leondave:
Nothing... the screen doesn't turn on. I'll try with ADB stuff...
[Android General] leondave:
Ok, no way, my device doesn't turn on... The screen does not turn at all. Not charge... The phone is unfazed.
[Android General] bangdes:
That's really hardbrick, we're sorry... Try to find 'how to fix hardbrick'. Perhaps it would be some help
[Android General] leondave:
Okay, I'll try to search that stuff...

Some problems in MIUI v5 custom ROM for A706

[Hello there I am having trouble with switching my primary storage to my sdcard which is really annoying since all my content is now being stored in the internal storage which is a really big problem for me. Can anyone solve this problem for me. I goto to the storage option in Settings then select switch memory card and it says something in Chinese which I don't get so I'm uploading some screenshots.
[Android General] bangdes:
It's a bug if using MIUI rom. That's why I'm return to stock rom...
[Android General] Raedon0:
I found the solution by going to system/etc and finding a file called "vold.fstab" and opening it and then scrolling to the bottom to find the "sdcard0" and "sdcard1" line and swapping them then save the file reboot the phone and your storages will be swapped.
[Android General] bangdes:
So it cannot do by system feature?
[Android General] yoorie016:
hey bro!

if you have a PC or laptop with existing drivers of your phone, try this methods:

1. A memory card is required.

2. Boot into Android normally.

3. Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop with a USB cable and when asked (or in USB connection settings), please select USB Mass storage mode to mount SD card. (this case, try to connect your memory card instead)

4. On the root of the memory card, create a folder called "sdfuse".

5. Unzip the downloaded firmware, you will get a QSB file.

6. Copy the QSB file to the sdfuse folder that we created earlier on the root of SD card.

Note: Please make sure that your phone has atleast 60% power before attempting or beginning upgrade. Or keep charger connected during the process.

SD card upgrade process:

1. Long press VOL UP + POWER_KEY to enter the droidboot,

2. A menu will appear. Select the fourth option, SDUPDATE.

3. At the bottom of the screen, you can see the progress and status of the update

4. When you see the message "SDCARD UPDATE SUCCESS!!!", this means you successfully completed the upgrade process

5. Now, reboot your device and hopefully it should be updated.

let me know if this works!
[Android General] trisgaming:
I bought an 8GB SD MemCard, and then installed it into my A706. However, when I try to install some apps ( only has less than 10 apps, and some of them are very useful to me), it already gives me an Error that there's no more space. And worst is, I can't move some apps to the SD Memcard. There are any workaround for this?

First-time owner of this phone and I'm already loving it. I just want to make use of the apps I always use.
[Android General] yoorie016:
have you tried to make your sd card as primary storage instead of the internal storage?
[Android General] trisgaming:
Yup , I did.
[Android General] Anonim47:
Just search the in google "Lenovo A706 Hardbrick". Fix it with your PC. With QPST and HDD RAW Copy Apps :D
[Android General] Wolfillete:
Is this ROM actually working? https://hanyalewat.com/20142654/custom-rom-lenovo-a706-kitkat-4-4.html
[Android General] bangdes:
Yes but any bug inside, camera & radio is not working. You should try it by your self, perhaps you could fix it..
[Android General] Wolfillete:
Wich one do you recomend me? I have some internal memory problems, is there any way to change internal partitions?
[Android General] bangdes:
You could try to switch manually on vold.fstab (I forgot the direction). For rom advice, of course we recommend to use stock rom, it's a most stable than any custom rom. But some people feel comfort enough with Q-Neon rom.
[Android General] yoorie016:
it will i think. its a cm based rom, and its camera and radio are not working. there are also no kitkat supported rom for this device and will not receive any update neither.
[Android General] bangdes:
Yes indeed, this cm11 ported from lenovo a760, so that's why too many bugs included. If device tree and source code shared by the devs, maybe I could bring some fix.. :p
[Android General] Wolfillete:
Ok, thank you very much. One last question, I don't have OTA updates menu so I don't know where to get rom updates (if any)...
[Android General] yoorie016:
At settings, go to about phone then software update..
[Android General] Wolfillete:
Yes, that's what I was talking about, I don't have that... It does not appear when I go to that menu.
[Android General] yoorie016:
did you install any custom rom? or are you in the stock ROM from the start?
[Android General] Wolfillete:
It's the ROM the phone came with (stock). How can I take a screenshot so I can upload here? From what I see it's ROW rom but may be the phone is not, I asked to the eBay seller when I bought it but who knows...

EDIT: I managed how to take screenshots ;P
[Android General] yoorie016:
there should be a menu "Software Update". do you have the lenovo software installed in you pc? you can use that to update you phone, if not, try to flash the stock rom from this thread. maybe its because of your rom's version and location.
[Android General] Wolfillete:
Ok, I'll flash stock rom and see what happens
[Android General] yes.sir:
bro partition your ext sdcard then use link2sd

- just a kid.
[Android General] Wolfillete:
Hi! Can anyone tell me if this is a fake ROM? http://manuzoned.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/cyanogen-unofficial-release-rc51-kitkat.html

Well I answer myself, this is an interesting blog of A706 owners. It has a lot of roms and apps.
[Android General] yoorie016:

--It seems all those Kitkat projects from UKR devs and A706 Indonesian FB Group are still on progress. :good:​
[Android General] bangdes:
Really?? What group name... I want to know how far the progress
[Android General] bangdes:
I see... I was flashed this rom but no longer usage, the battery drain is primary problem, beside the camera and radio still buggy. Any better now?
[Android General] pilyongsenyorito:
:: you can also check 4pda(dot)ru/forum/index(dot)php?showtopic=545842&st=2020#entry38523377, they released the camera fix for CM11 on A706. --sorry I still can't put links on my posts. :D

:: I've been using CM11 RC5.1 by melles1991 for quite some time now, although there's an updated RC6.1 version w/ integrated gapps, I just don't like the animation. You can try that one and PACMAN TS2.0 by TolSon001. :good:​

Has anyone tried CM11 RC6.1 from 4pda??
[Android General] Wolfillete:
Well I recently installed CM11 RC7 Beta from 4PDA. My bugs so far:

- Status bar not transparent ( i know i saw somewhere where to change it but i cant remember)

-Every time i reboot wallpaper is gone (all black)

-Vibration intensity insane even in the lowest level

- CWM I installed from this post tutorial is visually glitchy (this is not a bug from the ROM)

I'll post you here my next impressions.
[Android General] Wolfillete:
Have you tried the RC7? I'm having some troubles with the things I posted above. In addition, my pc doesn't shows external storage when pluged in, and the phone it's getting veeery slow... I want a stable rom that can handle normal apps, because with stock the internal memory is not enough to have installed my dailly apps. Is there a way to increse or repartition the internal memory in order to have more space to install apps?
[Android General] Wolfillete:
Is there any LewaOs or MIUI multilanguage? Because CM11 does not work so well

I hope anyone answers...
[Android General] bangdes:
try LAOSP Qneon, I'm use it and stable enough for daily use
[Android General] Wolfillete:
Well, is there any way to get more internal memory to install apps (resize internal partition maybe or link2sd with ext4 partition in sd?

However, I dislike this rom, it's kinda old and ugly. There's no MIUI or LewaOs multilanguage?
[Android General] bangdes:
Yes indeed, but I think it's a most stable than another custom rom. Event honestly I'd really love MIUI, it's too much bugs.

have u tried to find here?

Maybe you mean switch internal > sdcard? In LAOSP it can do by automatically or manually
[Android General] Wolfillete:
I've tried the MIUI one from here (english and chinese only), what are exactly the bugs?

The internal memory, I mean the one where you instal apks (system, cache, data partitions). I had a MTK Lenovo where you could flash a scatter file to "pick" some memory of the internal SD in order to use it as internal memory of the phone (as I said before, system, data...). I'm worried about that because I see useless the 1,5Gb of internal SD card, moreover when installing only daily apks the phone memory is full.

I would like to test your ROM but links seems to be dead, can you reupload? Does link2sd work in the rom?

Thanks
[Android General] Wolfillete:

Well, all the ROMs for the A706 are bull**** even the official one. This phone is a real crap, well not the phone, the comunity of developpers... No multilang, no actualizations. There are a lot o ROMs and none of them works as they should do. I'm very dissapointed with the XDA comunity because the support of this rom and this awfull thread. Bye noobs, I'm gonna throw away this piece of **** through the window
[Android General] bangdes:
actually it's multilanguage... but the default is russian, we should change on setting manually. I apoligize for uncomfortable.

And yes this phone not really good enough as the price. It's not categorized a flagship. I suggest you buy some device that supported CyanogenMod officially

CyanogenMod 13 for Lenovo A706

Hi guys. I am a developer kernel for your smartphone. I am currently working on a new CAF kernel. With it you can run the CyanogenMod 13 on your smartphone. At the moment we (I and my friend from the forum 4pda) launched CyanogenMod 11 of CAF video drivers. We managed to solve many problems, but there was one - is not working wi-fi. This week I'll try to fix this bug. When we have a fully working CyanogenMod 11 CAF, we move on CyanogenMod 13. This will be done as quickly as possible. But I want to ask you about a small financial help. (Donat). I work in order, so I would like to get some benefit from it. I would like to get a small amount generally 40 - 50 dollars. If you're interested, then please write to me. Payment will be made only after completion of the firmware (CyanogenMod 13 :laugh:).
