[Lenovo A850] giorgoslouk:
I haven't tested the ROM myself.

Did you follow the correct installation steps (full wipes via CWM) ?
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
Yes, you must do the 3 options in the recovery.
[Lenovo A850] khanjunaid:
No

Does not works gets stuck on boot,none of the MIUI Roms work from needrom site.A forum on lepakspot says to wait for 5-10 mins for first bootup after flashing, but that too does not work.
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
I had the same problem. You must first install the s121 rom.

WARNING after the install you will not be able to get back just with a CWM restore.

If you want to proseed, follow this video.

(when you click Firmware Update, wait 2-3 seconds and connect your phone WITH battery closed, that is what i couldn't do)

Every time you flash the a rom you have to wait BUT not in the bootloader (Lenovo text), you wait in the bootanimation.
[Lenovo A850] khanjunaid:
You mean I can install MIUI successfully after flashing S121???

Thanks for help in advance
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
Yes, i did that last night. I was faceing the same problem
[Lenovo A850] giorgoslouk:
So, is MIUI working well?

Is it multilingual?
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
I only used it for some minutes, it was not multilingual (μόνο κινέζικα και αγγλικά έχει). You could change to English from the first time set up.

It seemed smoth and quite good BUT there where some Chinise here and there and i didn't see an option to save apps to SD by default.

I haven't use a MIUI before so i reflashed the phone. If somebody is familiar with such a system, he should go ahead and try it, it is not bad at all, and it is beautiful.

Mind that is hasn't gapps by default. I flashed a miui gapps.zip i found online but i didn't see any gapp on the launcher (i didn't know how to go to the app drawer :P)

Hey folks can u help me remove google bloatware from my rooted lenovo a850 and dissable apps update when internet is on plz reply
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
You can uninstall anything using a root uninstaller (here is one).

To disable the updates go to Play Store, settings and change the auto update settings.

help

hey how to move all apps to sd card the simplest way as i am a newbie i have rooted my lenovo a850
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
Not all roms have the abillity to do that.

There are some apps from the play store that you can use (check here). I do not know which of them will work.

Else, you must change rom. s123 is said to have the option. I use s121 that has this option too.

Can anyone recommend a good ROW Rom? I know I can count on XDA :good:
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
S121 rooted with app-to-sd
[Lenovo A850] s327374:
I am going to try to root a friend's phone tomorrow. It is an A850 - bought in China - S128.

I see that root should be no problem, right? And I have decided to go with the S121 ROW option. This is ok, right? it does not matter that the phone is S128 or am I making a mistake?

Will go ahead tomorrow. Would love to know if I should or shouldn't go ahead.

Cheers.
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
S128 it i supposed to be better (with fixes). If you don't face any problems / bugs just stay there. You will not see any difference...
[Lenovo A850] s327374:
Thanks for your response. I got it just before beginning the process. I have used the S121 RoW Rom and this seems to be fine. Google apps is now working behind the great firewall of China - which is the most important thing and I think the move apps to SD card would be beneficial to my friend. I spent the longest time wondering why the computer, a Lenovo, wouldn't connect for the final flash ... then finally, it did - not sure why after many attempts to connect it. Anyway, I now know that the number 121 is irrelevant to the actual model but applies to the software build. Cheers.
[Lenovo A850] powerwoot:
Some please highlight me, can a A850i use any of A850 ROM?
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
Try it and tell us :P

Since the only difference is the internal memory, there shouln't be any problem... make a back up first.
[Lenovo A850] powerwoot:
I am not brave enough to flash it, as I just bought it not too long ago. But I believe it uses the same rom as A850, the status says it as A850.
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
It only has 4GB more, it is the same phone...
[Lenovo A850] powerwoot:
It is a same phone indeed, except the internal memory which has extra 4GB from it's sibling A850.

btw, this is my device's status

Model Lenovo A850i

Android versio 4.2.2

Baseband version

A850.V13, 2013/09/06 17.49

Build number A850i_by_www.lenovohome.net

According to the stats indeed it uses the same ROM as A850. I feel this ROM is outdated a bit, tried searching some forum such as lenovohome.net but all are in chinese. I am not a Chinese and not able to read any of it, just wanted to know what is the next custom ROM that is much newer and stable, mine has some minor bug that when reboot it produced an error message 'Unfortunately, settings has stopped'
[Lenovo A850] Alejj76:
Lenovo a850

Please can you answer my questions on ROM s121:

1) There is the Italian language?

2) The notification LED work well?

3) The start programmed work well?

4) The alarm clock works?

5) Bluetooth and WiFi work well?

6) Proximity sensor works well?

7) Indicate all the issues that you find?

8) Please someone lists the pros and cons of this ROM

Now I use the ROM "VEGA" and I get on well, before this change I would like to get some more feedback.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.
[Lenovo A850] tommy2601:
it's been a month I am using s121 rom and in fact I straight away flashed the rom the day I brought my phone and almost all the things are working as they should I am yet to find a major bug in this rom, only bug I found is as soon as u reboot the device ur welcomed with a message saying system ui has stopped (it's just a buggy message but the system works perfectly), I am not sure about the Italian language but for rest of your questions everything works fine.

3) download folder mount in play store

4) open it and grant super user permission

5) create pair and simply custom root path source folder mnt/shell/emulated/0 and destination folder storage/sdcard1/abc/A

[Lenovo A850] mgno:
Hi.

I've purchased a A850 from China online. The device arrived rooted and with the following ROM:

Model: Lenovo A850

Android: 4.2.2

Baseband: A850.V11, 2013/07/16 10:38

Build: A850_S123_130814

It does not support OTA updates (program crashes every time I click the update button).

The device came with a lot of Chinese bloat so I assume this rom is not intended for outside China. Is there a way of knowing which roms are safe to flash on this device? I'm interested in a stock updatable rom for the international market / custom one based on clean android.

There are 2 roms on the dev forum but I'm not sure if it's safe to flash them on my device. Also found a few on needrom.com. Is it a reliable source for roms?

Thanks for the help.
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
Yes, you can take one from need rom. Read the comments in each rom to see the problems that other users face.

I can not find anywhere information about whether XDA developers or Lenovo working on KitKat version for our phone? Anyone found some internal info, leaks... ?
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
To run kitkat you need a new kernel. Lenovo is not going to make a new kernel for our phone. On the other hand, it needs to much work to be done (if we also had the sources) and we do not have devs...

The only thing we can wish for is a similar phone port... and i do not know if this is possible...

We don't have devs to make a proper rom, let alone to work on a new kernel...

I have a lenovo a850. according to the information you wrote yours is like mine. My smart phone is now brick. I need a scatter file to flash it, but the roms that I've downloaded from nedrom, it does not work.

As I read it, I need one identical to the features of my phone.

Could you draw a scatter file from your phone (using MKD) and send it to me?

I know that my application may be inappropriate, but it's the only solution I found: that someone with an identical phone help me with the scatter.

Lenovo A678T Stuck on Logo/Animation..... PLEASE ANYONE HELP!

Hey guys!

One friend of mine gave me to fix his phone "Lenovo A678T" As I can see the problem is that the phone is stuck on the logo>>> Animation.

At first, I have noticed that in the phone was inserted micro SD card which cannot be formatted by any means.

I've tried to enter into recovery to make a factory reset and clear the phone but none of those worked.

I've also, tried to enter into the original recovery "Chinese" to make the same factory reset the process went well but when I went back to load a Rom as a zip file I saw that all the files are still there! Nothing was actually deleted.

I've tried to install the drivers to flash the phone with SP Flash Tool. But the phone cannot be recognized nither by the PC/SP FlashTool :confused:

I hope some of you guys have an idea or can help me help my friend it will be highly appreciated.

Thank you guys in advance!

Hey guys,so apparently I tried to unlock my bootloader but I'm stuck at step 13 in the Sony Xperia unlock bootloader tutorial. (Can't post the link)

When I first tried to get into fastboot,my computer gave me a notification telling me the device driver was not successfully installed. But at the same time,the notification light on my Xperia J is blue. Tried a few more times but only the notification light was blue,no other prompts from the computer. Another thing is that I can't find the "Android Boot loader Interface-file". Anybody who could help fix this?>< Thanks! (I rooted my phone before this though >< Sorry if I'm asking stupid question or anything,it's my first time rooting and unlocking a phone :/)

Sorry for the super late reply,but it didn't work ><
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Revontheus:
I

had the same problem but now my BL is unlocked

here are the fastboot drivers please consider hitting the thanks button :D

- In your unlock code, if there are capital letters use shift button and not caps lock that was the cause of the numerous failures before I realized my mistake

-

Make sure you copy the exact code

copy pasting the code won't work

- Turn off PC companion ( it interferes with the batch file )

- Hold shift and right click the folder to and select Open Command Window here

Don't blame me if your device

gets bricked

you will also lose DRM keys and Void your warranty

extract the

rar

file and enjoy ( you still need the USB Driver folder and that android_winusb thingie )

LG G2 D802 - Which ROMs will work if I am using GSM only in Australia
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Light_Addict:
What do you mean which rom? There are no custom roms available right now so you have to stick with stock. You can always root to personalize the phone a little more.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uppon2:
Like Clean ROM for example. My question was more of a query of which section I should be using to flash ROMs if I own the D802 model phone.

Can I flash from any variant or are they all purely for CDMA/LTE?

G2 Android Development

G2 Android Development (AT&T)

G2 Android Development (Verizon)

G2 Android Development (T-Mobile)

G2 Original Android Development

I am from Australia and we don't have AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile. We do have LTE carriers but I don't use them as they are severely underdeveloped and waste battery in my city.

My network runs on GSM/UMTS with the following frequencies.

2G

900Mhz

1800Mhz

3G

900MHz

2100MHz

Also why is there such little development for such a good device, is it purely because it is new? - I am thinking about getting the Optimus G Pro instead because it has decent support
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waz675:
Hi, I'm still awaiting to receive my very recently purchased G2 phone (so not 100% sure on model number) but I purchased it here in Australia so atm just assuming it is the Australia model. Using 'Australia' to search G2 forum, this appears to be the last time Australia was mentioned, so, not much it seems. Just wanting to see about what (custom) ROMs are workable for the Australia model, as in, "International model d802 will or will not work" for example?

It's a bit crazy here to dedicate much time to research due to Xmas + new year, wish I spend more time but alas, need to ask a couple somewhat 'generic' things while I'm waiting for the phone to arrive.

Thanks for any help/advice + understanding..

Cheers, and Happy New Years all

Hello at all developers :D

I managed to rework the spade board. Now ZIMAGE boots up using ION memory allocator. This is a dmesg screenshot:

If you decompile it, you can also use the RAMDISK with sir pacha's booting kernel.
