ROM Question

My A760 bought on ebay UK, came with the A760_1A_2_001_0099_130427 ROM it has no Chinese apps, and google play is fully accessible.

I can see that there is an update A760_1_S_2_001_0133_130828 in settings/about/system update showing on the phone.

I've seen mention of this ROM on the net, but there doesn't seem to be much gen about it, I'm thinking it may be an upgrade of Jellybean to a later

version. Would it set me back to a Chinese version ?. Does anyone have any info please ?. ... J
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbrainsol:
You could install CWM recovery following the guide here, make a backup of your current rom and then install the update. If there's any issues just flash the backup :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jachol:
Yeah !, I've realised that thanks, I do have cwm installed and present system backed up .. I have a fair number of apps, installing the

new ROM would mean a reinstalling them I think, no big deal apart from taking some time ... I was just looking for more info before taking that

step. I'm quite happy with the present ROM, I have tried AUDI but switched back to the one it came with. ... J ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbrainsol:
Same here :D Still not sure how to cook a rom after the one on my phone though. And I was really busy lately... But...people with the Chinese rom can install audi if they have any issues :)

So is there any fix to the known problem that you can't add or change APNs on this phone? The "fix" in the other thread is no fix what so ever (it just adds more default apns that you still can't edit).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipax:
Hello,

This helped me, i had the same problem. You will need file explorer, and file explorer (root add-on). I am attaching my apns-conf to this message. You just need to delete apns-conf from your device (path=system-etc-apns-conf.xml), and copy this from message back in (unpack it first), and for that you need some SU permission. The file I am attaching is the file that "root tweaker" altered in my phone (that's the first step if you don't want to use my file), and I had to change one line in it: <apns version="7">, by default is =6, that didn't work for me. Now I have allready all apns, and I can manually add if there is some I don't have. My english is bad, hope you understood, and it will help. Just leave original apns-conf, just in case. I think that you need to reboot your device after c/p of file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _mfm_:
Thanks. It doesn't fix the problem for me though. I have more APNs in the file but it's still impossible to edit or save new APNs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipax:
I don't know then, sorry. It didn't allowed me either to add APNs until I made these changes, it was said "apn list not complete" or something like that. But now i can normally add them. Only diference is that apns-conf.xml I changed on my device. Try comparing this two apns-conf, mine and yours, maybe there is somewhere a little difference in codes, first few rows, like that "apn version" or something. Bye
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _mfm_:
I have your apn.conf with the version=7 and everything. It never prints any error, I can choose save but nothing happens.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipax:
OK, i give up :D. I don't have knowledge of Android, a760 is my first android device, i just thought that you have the same problem as me before, that I have managed to solve. It seems that is not the case. I hope that someone else is going to be able to help you :). Bye

Sorry to hear things haven't worked out. ... Re. moving apps to the SD card, if you look in the menu under Apps/Manage Apps by tapping on each

separate item in the list, you'll find an option to move to some of them to the SD card (some items aren't movable)

If you look also under Menu/storage there's an option to switch the Primary to the SD card ( I think the SD card needs to be larger than the phones primary to do this).

MIUI V5 for A760

hi, the download link for the miui rom: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1eMtUA
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jachol:
Thanks for that link ... that's one I might try. I've downloaded A760_1_s_2_0133_130828 several times during the last week (This shows as an

available updatein Settings/About/ System Update on my phone) when I try to install the phone reboots in to CWM, and then the install fails, I

suspect that this upgrade has it's own installer or maybe the phone, and is possibly not compatible with CWM, I haven't found a way round this yet ........... :(

Ideas anyone ???. ... J.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krics:
that update is not for cwm install, the file is in a qsb file format, you need to create a folder on the ext sd named sdfuse, place the qsb file in this folder, then switch off phone, press volume down and power on , this way you get into factory mode, choose option 4 and the update gets installed
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jachol:
Thanks for the suggestion krics, but no joy. ... The download is started directly from the phone in Settings/About Phone/System updates, when

complete the file can be found in Internal SD/googleota/update.zip if you unzip this file there's no sign of a qsb file ( see my screenshots attached).

I've seen a friend install this update on his A760, once the download is complete the update option is started from System updates (as above) the

phone reboots possibly into what you call factory mode, and the update goes ahead successfully (he didn't have CWM installed).

In my case the install goes normally until it reboots into CWM instead of factory mode then CWM rejects the update.

If I could uninstall CWM (from what I read this may not be possible) I believe the update would be OK.

If you know of a source for A760_1_s_2_0133_130828 in qrv format, I'd like to try your method, right now I'm upstream without a paddle :( . ... J.

For me Viber doesn't work properly in MIUI or in the Lenovo stock ROM, the other side doesn't hear anything I say (but I can hear myself and the other side in the speaker). Did you do anything or the latest Viber just works for you?

WeChat and QQ works fine (including voice and video chat).

BTW, the international keyboard in MIUI is broken too.

I flashed stock 130828 ROM and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip today again and it still works fine for me. Also SuperSU 1.80, TitaniumBackup etc...

Cheers drbrainsol...I've downloaded LEWA ROM just can't get the CWM happening.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _mfm_:
Also, there seems to be something wrong with this phone (hardware or drivers) that if you use WCDMA 900 MHz (instead of WCDMA 2100 MHz) the internet doesn't work properly if you have a second card in the GSM slot. With WCDMA 900 + GSM the internet just stops but as soon as you disable the GSM slot in the settings or by removing the card the internet suddenly works fast again. With WCDMA 2100 + GSM it works fine too.

Anyone else experienced this? I guess this is what you can expect when buying China-only 900 MHz phones (since China Unicom doesn't have 900 MHz it won't get tested in China).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark_kou:
Yeap, I've experienced this problem. In the beggining I thought it had to do with the settings I used. But I couldn't make it work correctly. After a long time of trying to run a speedtest, I found out that the problem affects downloading data, as it had no problem uploading. That was very clever of you to figure out that disabling the second sim card seems to correct the problem. Thanks a lot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _mfm_:
Thanks. Yes I thought it may have something to do with APNs in the beginning (since in the latest stock ROM you can't edit or add APNs), but it's the same in MIMU, LeWa, the russian Semi-AOSP etc.

This is unfortunate because I only bought this phone because of Dual Sim + 900 MHz WCDMA support, so now it's useless for its intended purpose.

As expected we got home late, wish I read this thread before going ahead with the update ... ended up with a fully Chinese phone, NBG for me :(,

I did like the launcher krics, that's brill !. Anyway this AM I went to reinstall my backup, that's when I found this update also flashes Android

OK, regardless you don't need the original recovery to flash the QSB update, just put it in sdfuse dir on external SD card as mentioned earlier.

But why do you need original recovery if you already updated but didn't want to keep the update and went back to the old version?

If you update to latest version it will replace CWM with default recovery.

Hi,

Please read post 108 page 11 ... that explains what I'm trying to do.

The latest English download A760_1_s_2_0133_130828 directly to the phone is an Update.zip file, but CWM rejects this, presumably the

original recovery is needed to install this update.

You do have a point though, if I switch back to the Chinese version the recovery installed with that could allow me to install the Enlgish update.

It may get after Xmas before I can try, to busy preparing for family visitors (petty coat government rules at the moment ;), got to keep the peace.)

Exactly (Or maybe it is a driver problem or can be fixed by a driver, but no existing ROM including the latest official update fixes it).

EDIT: Funny enough, now it works with the same operator and dual sims. But I'm 300 km from home, so it's not the same configuration. I don't know if it's using 2100 or 900 MHz (or what it's using at my home), but something is different (Only thing I know is I'm at the edge of the 2100 MHz coverage now and at home I should have full signal strenth on both 2100 and 900 MHz). A guess is that I'm using 2100 MHz now (the strength is only 0-2 bars) and 900 MHz at home.

i have done some experiments with this terminal:

install latest chinese rom via service menu, or stock recovery (english) DONE

rom is in chinese, but english is in the language available... so i revert to english, and some apps still remain in chinese....

step two, install cwm and try some roms: i have found several roms: MIUI, AOSP, AUDI ROM, ETC. the first step is to try to flash stock gapps (google play and all) using cwm... DONE

so for now i have stock chinese rom 130828 AND GOOGLE PLAY in the same place, i lost multi-language but i've gained better touch, and possibility to switch to every rom i want...

i am a newbie, but i've discovered that cwm is 3button press, vol UP+vol DOWN + POWER, ando stock recovery is VOL down + POWER, so i can switch between the two.

next step is rooting the phone, but i have done downloading miui version, i suspect is only chinese, but i can't wait to try it...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krics:
vol UP+vol DOWN + POWER always takes you to the recovery menu regardless what recovery you have, be it cwm, twrp, 3e recovery or chinese recovery (latter two can be named stock recoveries).

Vol down + power is the Factory menu, the two are different things with some overlaps in function.

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

If you don't have gapps on your rom, then yes, you need cwm and flash the gapps zip from cwm.

English is always available in all roms, chinese apps can be removed with titanium backup for example, and if you have cwm installed, then you can install gapps too.

Yeah, unfortunately the newest versions of viber are not fully operational on any of the roms available. But eg. viber 2.2.2.22 or 2.2.3.1 are working almost okay, there are FCs sometimes but not too often. Regarding the keyboard in MIUI, you are right, but that problem can be overcome with installing the following keyboard : http://data.hu/get/7243679/Android_4.2_KB.apk as this link is on a Hungarian site, click on " Lassú letöltés" to start the download.

Maybe the one from A706 works since that phone is quite similar (but probably not). Also there are two different A706, one Chinese and one International which are slightly different hardware-wise. I'm sure the international version has working 900 MHz WCDMA-support (since it's sold in India, Indonesia etc) but the Chinese version doesn't support it.

Personally I will likely give up on 900 MHz WCDMA for this phone and get an A850 instead, it's a great phone (I already gifted one for a relative earlier) and I know 900 MHz is fine on it (official 900 MHz support according to Lenovo China and the same hardware is sold in India, Russia etc). Also I tried it myself earlier with the mobile operator that gives a problem with A760.

i don't have any apn problem, but i suspect it's a software issue, not related to modem-baseband, but i guess manual editing of xml file for apn may solve the problem....

for example, i think miui rom has all apns, and it's possible to modify setting without problem, and it's based on lenovo original 760..

i've tried lenovo latest rom with gapps flashed in it,(with cwm, like kricks says) and it's almost perfect, i can't get rid of all chinese apps, because i don't know whicha re truly necessary to let phone work well, but touch is more responsive, and stock launcher is also beautiful.

the major drawback, toghether with only 2 languages included (chinese and english) is horrible sound that came from speaker when i switch on the phone... it's a chinese vioce saying something... and i d0n't like it....

what can i say

miui is the best, at least for english users, there are some apps in chinese, like root and others, but it's the best rom i've ever seen on this phone, aosp and audi are less polished and are based on fist lenovo rom, same as original multilingual rom, and have also same glitch in touch, using default keyboard.

defecs of miui are some sort of lag sometimes, nothing really annoing, but i suspect miui launcher is heavy on gpu, and this phone has a weak adreno 205...

dual sim settings are almost sufficient, you need to disable pin on sim2 in order to use it, and if you decide to temporarly disable it, to enable again sim2, you need to reboot phone...

BATTERY life using 3g is a nightmare, even if you have two batteries, charge run off very fast...

i'm not an apple lover, but miui is an android more polished, i've decided to sell this marvelous a760 to a friend and buy a xiaomi phone, with miui official support....

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

706 and 760 are quite similar, but there are chinese versions of both... rom are not compatible between different models and different versions..

they share the same qualcomm platform, but 706 has camera with flash in it, and a little better support in xda, but 760 is the best quad-core dual sim for it's price, considering also gps signal is far better than mtk chipsets, and using a gps software with offline maps lice copilot, i can tell mtk is a mess sometimes, qualcomm is far better.

Yes, APNs work in MIUI but it doesn't fix the 900 MHz issue.

The voice says something like "With WO you can reach the whole world" :D

Xiaomi Phones are nice, just that M2S is too small, MI3 only supports TD-SCDMA and Hongmi is extemely overpriced outside China.

The GPS on mine is rubbish, worse than Huawei chipset and much worse than my LG with Qualcomm S4 Pro, atleast on the original Lenovo ROM. Also the screen is really bad, I mean 2 touch points must be the worst screen ever (and if the fingers are within 1 cm of each other it loses one touch point) and my girlfriend commented today that the screen is fuzzy/blurry (which it is, and it's also strangely pixelated).

The A706 is probably a much better phone, especially the international version. Also there are dozens of cheaper 512MB models that are probably better buys because of the bad screen, bad CPU performance and bad modem of this phone. The only thing this phone had was the cheap price and the supposed 900 MHz support. It seems Qualcomm really hit the bottom with this chipset, the MT6582 really smokes it.
