Im using Lenovo a369(non-i), i need modem.img file from this firmware because i thought i can enable wcdma-gsm 900 mhz band. i already have the file and i already copy the file to my phone, network is working fine but wcdma-gsm 900 mhz is still disable. i have read a post on China forum that wcdma-gsm 900 mhz band can be enable if i use modem.img from row firmware, unfortunately Lenovo a369 doesn't have row firmware.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mafi91:
Did you flash it with you'r a369?I'm not sure because you'r phone just new released,but i don't think you that way will work for you because this two model has a diffrent firmware.

Here's a download link to the May 22 update aka ROW_S111_140522:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_KxHkaDeA14QWM0QkNUZzRuMHM/edit?usp=sharing

Lenovo claims to have done some performance enhancements to their software, besides slapping in a "Powered by Android" logo as per Google's recent licensing mandate. Same installation instructions as usual, and as in my case you may have to reflash your MAC/IMEI address to get rid of the NVRAM error.

Yes this is official firmware

but you can get latest version here

http://lenovo369i.blogspot.in/2014/02/how-to-update.html?m=1

I flashed s110 and it's working really well,

there also a more official firmware of version s111 available,but don't go for s111 because after installing this s111 upgrade you can't install many custom rom

http://lenovo369i.blogspot.in/2014/06/new-firmware-for-lenovo-a369i.html?m=1

so download s110 and flash it using so flash tool,and follow the installation method as pankit explained in this post

---------- Post added at 02:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ----------

You might brick your phone or might loose some features or functionality of your phone. Don't try this,bthis is for a369i only
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] archis007:
The installation method is same, but not the firmware. There is one more person in this thread who flashed this firmware in his lenovo a369(non i) and having problem.

So please don't install this Rom on your phone........

A369i wont bbot after flashing this rom.. HELP...!!!

I previously had my new lenovo a369i[bought in september 2014] stuck at boot logo due to installing CF3D which wasn compatible with it. Thn i tried to flash TWRP recovery through SP Flash tool which wasn successful as it always showed "PMT error" which i guess was due to different version of preloader as i figured it out that i need a different scatter file but cudn find any unfortunately. I believe my rom had build version like 's201'. Now i have a question, Does the preloader differ with every build..? As i have seen people successfully flashing other stock firmware but when i flashed the rom given in this thread, it was successful but my phone now even wont turn on.. Someone please help me by providing the backup file of preloader and scatter which i can flash to this phone . Or maybe provide me with idea of what should i do. I read on some forums that flashing through SP Tools a backup of the same model phone can unbrick it. But unfortunately no one i know owns this phone here. It wud be a great help if some provides scatter and preloader or possibly even a stock rom which will fix it.:o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] archis007:
Yeah s201 will not support many custom rom , this may cause bootloop go to this site and downgrade your system to s110 if you want to install custom rom http://lenovo369i.blogspot.in/2014/02/how-to-update.html?m=1

And if you want to stay with s201 then go to this

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

I think you should stay with s201

Because I think s110 will also create problem for you

So go for s201

And if you have problem with language then translate it with Google translate app

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] scottytoo:
Here goes, my first ever post on any forum. So please bare with me on the following. I'm laid in bed next to my lovely wife and it hits me, why do we mess with all this tech! More rhetorical, than a question. More to the point my wife asks "if it's not broken why fix it?"

It leads me to add to the already hyped wm5. I believe there is a reason behind the so called 'lack of upgrade' for the mda compact. And I may make a believer out of you all.

If you know anything about computers, you will understand about CPU's. My desktop computer is meant to be an amd duron 1600mhz, but I can clock it at 2100mhz. They call this overclocking (sorry, I'm teaching you how to suck eggs). In reality it's what we call a broken spec CPU. The chip probably started off as an amd athon 2000xp. But failed the tests, so not to waste the capital gain. They remove some cache and a couple of IC controllers and hey presto - they made 50 quid at something they should have thrown away. Or should they? This theory is a long standing myth that dates back to the late 90's with broken server chips being rebaged by Intel as mmx 200mhz. It was even stated in a PC mag that celerons were broken versions of p3's. AGAIN certain features were removed to make it cheap. But this is just a myth! Getting back to the mda issue. I think that htc designed many models that are robust... But they decided to try out a spec with the latest (at the time) software. It has to be cost effective and at least meet a minimum quality. And don't forget deadlines. So times ticking away and you get a cut down version of what should have been created. This would explain the lack of support for wm5 as it would be too flaky to use. If at all.

I've for the past 12 months, tried to use bluetooth, make the camera work, have a decent conversation without having to reset or reinstall the crummy software.

This is my forth mda compact. I have no faith in ms, htc or t-mobile, that brings me back to what my wife said.

My answer is they never worked when we got them. But its fun trying to fix or understand them!

HTC went in at the bottom for this and the early adopters of this tech pay the price - but that's business.

I'm ready to through this away cos this is refusing like the little b'tard child it is, to do as it's told.

Question for you all, no need to reply. Have you reset your mda compact more times than the total amount you have ever reset all the home computers you have had or used in your lifetime?

If so welcome to my world.

P.s this is a fantastic site.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] wcoleman:
I appreciate your logic,BUT

Mine works fine! i have the TMobile MDA here in the US, it really does a good job. I overclocked it to 252, reg tweaks, bluetooth with my Jabra BT250, wifi on G, and I love it. Best phone ever (did 1.13 radio rom upgrade)

Sorry you are having such troubles that are having you type while you laying next to a beautiful bird!!! Throw that thing out and get busy!!!

Good Luck. :twisted:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] scottytoo:
cheers mate. i'll try n wake her up.

nah to honest i love the phone. I've been in and out of the computer industry for the past 12 years. i'm getting behind. but i still manage to spot issues or problems.

They replaced it 4 times cos i found the problems.I insisted it was software but t-mobile was just starting out with this breed of smartphones.

my main point is no matter what the product, it never lives up to the dream, but it's good to learn how to fix or purge ideas to make something better than what it was original.

I'm just frustrated...

by the way i find it funny that when you show the phone off and tell the crowd it's got windows they ask does it crash

[Android General] akashujjainkar:
hii friends some of members or newbies dont know anythig about cwm so let me explain all these things and flashing and booting in cwm

two methods can be used to flash cwm !

first is by using application

second is by using fastboot mode.

flash cwm via apps

there are mainly two apps are used to flash cwm

mobile uncle tool : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileuncle.toolbox&hl=en

recovery manager(rom manager may be) :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en

how to flash :

choose flash cwm from sd card (recovery.img should be placed in sdcard root) and then flash. u need to be smart because app interface changes according to updates.

cwm links :

http://www.mediafire.com/download/2hzwnft4ya0rpta/boot_6.02.7.img

http://www.mediafire.com/download/k9ctsu1ouu4rx91/recovery_akashujjainkar.img

using fastboot mode.

adb folder : http://www.mediafire.com/download/0imf9xv2uicwkbh/Android.zip

Procedure:

rename downloaded recovery to recovery.img--

Copy the downloaded recovery.img to your ADB folder--Turn off your phone-- Boot into fastboot mode by pressing power button and volume down keys together for sometime.

After sometime it shows fastboot mode in red colour.

connect your phone to PC using USB cable

If you are in WinXP, open command prompt and browse to your ADB folder using cd commands.If you are in Windows7, right click in the ADB folder and click to open command prompt there.--

Type this in the command prompt :

Code:

fastboot devices

This should display your device name in fastboot mode, if nothing is shown, then you have to check previous steps again.--

Type this command to flash CWM recovery to your phone

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It will show the progress and completion dialogue within seconds when it finishes successfully. Now you can try if CWM is working.-- download quick boot to boot in cwm

Hi guys,

Just want to seek some help from you regarding my concerns with my ZL (c6502). The problem is that I can't connect to any network available, may it be secured (just like our network in our house) or open network. I have already tried it with our network but it seems that even if I place my phone just beside the router, it still doesn't connect. I have tried updating and repairing with SEUS but the problem still persists. Is there such a way that it can be fixed?

Hoping for your assistance. Thanks.

PS: I have this build number in my phone: 10.3.1.A.2.67

EDIT: I have tried upgrading it to 4.3 and still can't connect with networks
[Sony Xperia ZL] control freak:
It wud be great if u cud write down what exactly happens when u try to connect to a network? Does it lose signal? Or does it simply says cannot connect or something like that?

Its too much strangeness in one problem.(:silly:)

The wifi problem was supposed to be done away with android 4.2( build number. 423 onwards)

Hi Sir, it doesn't connect at all. When I'm trying to connect, it will just prompt "Connecting" and then nothing happens afterwards. "Association Rejected"

extremely sorry for this ridiculously late reply.

there appears to be some greater problem with wifi authentication process. i think u should try a factory reset.(dont frget to backup first.)

it "may" solve ur problem.

Your reply is very much appreciated, Sir. However, I already did factory reset but got no positive result :(

My son got a LG Optimus P769 for Christmas and tried to uprade to Jellybean 4.3 and managed to get his phone Boot locked (When you turn it on the LG logo goes on and off repeatedly. We can connect to it thru fastboot, but screen is reflected and we can set the phone into S/W Upgrade Mode but we can't figure out what to do from there. Is the phone a lost cause or can it be fixed?

Here is a rough list of what he did:

Used cyanogenMod 10.2 to upgrade to Jellybean 4.3 (Got LG logo with security error when phone turned on).

Used fast boot to erase recovery.img, boot.img, chose option 5 and option 7. (Got flashing LG logo bootlock no security error.)

AIO Wireless is an AT&T MVNO

i tried using their AIO Basic Plan witch is for basic phones only

http://www.aiowireless.com/shop.html

i could call and text but data was disabled.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbi1:
I am referring to using an AT&T sim on AT&T account, not MVNO.

What people used to do was get a non-smart phone data plan, unlimited for $10/mo, then change to smart phone. Different reports came of AT&T identifying these non-AT&T phones as smart phones, vs. other cases where AT&T did not identify the non-AT&T phone as a smart phone. So I was just wondering about the Nexus 5 since AT&T doesn't carry it and doesn't sell it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
All AT&T MVNO share like a IMEI database sort of how T-Mobile shares their blacklisted IMEI with AT&T

if a AT&T MVNO blocks it so does AT&T they share the database on witch to block.. it doesn't hurt to try though
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbi1:
You lost me. Why would MVNO block a phone? Say I buy a Nexus 5 from Google, can I not use it with StraightTalk for example? Why would it be blocked?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divinewisdom:
He is just saying it as an example. Someone reports the phone as lost or stolen, it can be blacklisted across carrier.

Back to your original question, yes you will be detected as a smart phone. Google/LG shares imei database with att. Just like nexus 4 and gnex.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbi1:
Thanks.

Do you know if other manufacturers share IMEI DB, like Samsung?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
The AIO thing is different I think in that data is blocked not because you are on a smartphone but it's blocked on that plan.

AT&T can easily identify said phones as a Nexus as they share a similar IMEI. I don't know if LG/Samsung send AT&T a list of their IMEIs but either way it's not hard for AT&T to add it to their list based on just 1 sample.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbi1:
Pardon the ignorance, but what is AIO?

The basis for my question is, and the example that I brought earlier, the same phone but different model; Galaxy S2 has its international unlocked version, but also AT&T sells its own version of S2. This is not the case with the Nexus - it only comes unlocked, AT&T does not sell the Nexus, this is why I am questioning this.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landara:
I have AIO and it works flawlessly. Just gotta manually put in your APN just like with any other carrier and an unlocked GSM phone.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Aio is a pre-paid wireless carrier which is wholly owned and operated by AT&T. It uses AT&T personnel, networks, towers, etc...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbi1:
OK, but I am not talking about AIO or MVNO, I am talking about an AT&T sim card on an AT&T family plan (outside contract). You have a 'dumb' phone on your family plan, you add non smart-phone data for $10. You take the sim and put it in a smart phone that was not purchased from AT&T, is not AT&T phone and AT&T doesn't even sell it (e.g. Nexus 5). Will AT&T network - again, I am on AT&T, not AIO - identify it as a smart phone. Looking to hear from people with experience on this. With my personal experience they did not identify other phones in similar situation, even phones that they sell. I am just curious about the Nexus 5 in particular.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
They will identify it.. How can a billion dollar company not spot this.. of course they would identify it and try squeeze more money from you
