Did you flash CWM or just started via adb? Did you buy it on aliexpress?

Vibe Z K910 root & upgrade

Hello Senior Members,

I have also bought Lenovo VIBE Z K910 from China last week, the overall language is English, but in some categories the LANGUAGE is unchangeable, it is Chinese as default areas like Switching off menu, contacts and some places in the gallery as well....

But my bigger concern than the language is -

My ROM presently is - VIBEROM_V1.0_1407_2_ST_K910

1. I am unable to update any application on playstore.

2. Neither I am able to install any new application from the store, nor any existing application is able to update. I get error 406

3. Also from the about us system menu, if I try to do the system update, it shows error " Unfortunately, the system is stopped."

4. Also any other UI app or lenovo launcher or contacts app tries to update, I just get errors an no update actually happens,

Please suggest and guide me how can I upgrade my phone to work properly.
[Lenovo Vibe Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Saiyajin:
No Problem,

unfortunately I've been already data roaming. Probably will have to pay a crapload of money now :mad:
[Lenovo Vibe Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Ugglaimossen:
I also had missed this setting and used roaming. But I've had my eye on the icon. Haven't seen R active other than just for a second sometimes. And I checked my bill (specified) yesterday and couldn't see anything about additional data costs. So I think it doesn't roam if it really doesn't need to. Hopefully

If you don't want to uninstall the Lenovo launcher you can freeze it by installing Titanium Backup. By freezing the app it acts as if its been uninstalled but is still there in case you want to unfreeze it.

I am still struggling with getting my contact's names stored in the phone/gmail to be displayed correctly for the SMS functions. It appears only numbers and won't detect/display the names. I have to manually 'call' the number for the phone to display the name. This is annoying. I have rom 1413 Dev, rooted and Gaaps installed. But this "SMS-no ID" is making me upset. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

There is a new rom for K910 from 1.04.14 K910_1_S_2_144_0975_140401. Someone tested it?

The last vibeui was installed 3 days ago and I've loaded over 30 screenshots on 4pda.ru. CWMs we've got now are useless in case you want to install 4.4.2. Have to flash that one only under STOCK RECOVERY. And gotta choose recovery.img from 040_0109_ rom. I made the update.zip to flash right img via CWM, if you need one. Bootloader is blocked in vibeui. Couldn't get root in other way. Kingo, Framaroot, etc. were failed. So I've returned to 4.2.2 viberom 1411_dev

Hi all, how can I turn bright mode to increase the volume during a call? Thank you
[Lenovo Vibe Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] TomTomarin:
SOLVED

SOLVED

Turn off the phone --> Run minimal ABD and fastboot as admin--> just write the command for recovery install (don't hit enter yet)--> press volume + and volume - button and connect the phone to pc via usb--> now hit enter and voila. Your phone will boot in recovery. All other is simple and you can find how to install the stock firmware. Any problem just pm.

Thank you all

Hey TomTomarin,

i have a question: You said, that you are able to flash your phone, although its stuck on the lenovo screen. When i for example try: "fastboot devices" oder "adb devices", the device ist not listed. I didnt even see the SD-Card. Was it the same situation in your case? What is minimal ABD or do you mean ADB? Was your device found on the PC because when i plug on my phone nothing happens.

First Volume up, then volume or just one of them? Both on same time is not possible or?

Thanks for your answer.
[Lenovo Vibe Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] TomTomarin:
Both of them and connect the usb. The minimal adb etc is here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmSWh6NGJmSE1BUWc/edit

I thought I was subscribed to this thread so haven't bothered to look at it for a while.

For those that asked about the Silicon case please go to the etotalk website and search for "Silicon case Lenovo", you'll find it eventually. For the other guy who asked, the phone is pentaband wcdma (world wide 3g) and I'm using it on T-Mobile in the US. For some reason T-Mobile require both 1700 and 1900 bands for their 3g to work properly, so any other phones phones with just 1900 won't cut it on T-Mobile (from their website info). The K910 works great.

For everyone else flashing roms etc. I tried to get fancy with my limited expertise and lost root on my phone. The etotalk mod rom I have is perfect and they warned me not to flash a new rom if I wanted to retain the English characteristics of the phone. Something about a "shallow" root is all you can do on the dual sim K910.

Hope this helps.

Mine came form pandawill and is with ROM: k910_ss_s_2_040_0039_131101

But I'd like to change it, so Etotalk rom would be nice!

Also, can someone tell me how to transfer files from/to PC - when I connect it to the PC it wants to install Lenovo suite, which is only in Chinese and is unusable. For now, I transfer files over wi-fi with ShareIt, but it's slow and drains the battery... Any help?

would u plz help me :)

[Lenovo Vibe Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Twotems:
Unfortunately etotalk will only install their rom on phones they sell. It's not available anhwhere else. But they do a good job removing Chinese apps, language etc and installing Google Play without changing the standard Lenovo k910 rom. I also have a jiayu g5 advanced from minideal and their rom is quite clean too. You might want to see if theirs is available. Bottom line is you need all the customizations done by the vendor then take it from there.

Has anyone tried to use the applications from the Lenovo K910L ROW ROM? Maybe they are a bit less Chinese... It is rather annoying that Calls and SMS never match the same contact regardless if the phone number has +XX or not in the beginning.

Also, has anyone managed to enable LED notifications for external programs such as Viber? When using LightFlow it shows a very faint lijght, very close to useless (regardless of used settings).

The K910L apps are posted on lenovo-forums.ru. K910L is based on Android 4.3 though, so maybe some things don't work. I tried to install some of them but my system partition was full already, I have to play it it some more when I have time.

2.- I find seeing your photos that it's possible update some Lenovo programs when you check the program version, but I think it will be exist an apk by Lenovo that check all Lenovo programs and alert when an update will be aviable, someone know what it is and have the apk?

I might be wrong but I think it is getting back to old recovery if you later reboot into recovery again? Just after pushing your modded img I am seeing very small fonts in recovery, it flashed superSU also from their, but I had to reboot into recovery later and I got back original big fonts:confused:
[Lenovo Vibe Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] csu333:
If you used the documented method (fastboot boot recovery.img instead of fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), you didn't flashed the recovery, just used it once. This is my preferred way of working since you leave your device untouched, which guarantees the correct working of the later OTA upgrades.

I would apply the procedure once more just to see if things improves because if the application is not visible, the update.zip didn't work properly. If your next try doesn't work, issue the following command when you are in bootloader, before typing the fastboot boot command:

fastboot oem unlock

I haven't been able to identify whether or not this command have an effect on the procedure but both katalinscrob and I issued this command while trying the first procedure (flashing the whole system partition). Maybe it did have an effect ?
[Lenovo Vibe Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] katalinscrob:
My friend, I believe since we don't have any kinf of confirmation in adb, or at least promting for rsa key validation like lg has, it's correct to assume that fasboot oem unlock does nothing to our BL. Not mentioning the other more relevant proofs of unlocked state ... anyway, my concern still remains focused on camera function loss after unlocking BL like some other MSM8974 platforms did (confirmed!).

My believe is that even we will have after all an unlocked BL, since in these few next months rom development for our machines will be poor anyway, I personally would prefer OTA option viable instead, along with the ability to play with cwm, rooted state, full gapps....after all what could you wish anymore for a normal mid level user of an dual sim android? SoC does all the magic, no more kernel optimizing, no more fancy visual mods, no more cpu governors...;)

OFFTOPIC for who it may concern:

-I noticed that long time used call recorders like call spy apk or similar ones doesn't work adequate anymore (suspect proprietary Soc dependend android services)...I found "automatic call recorder" after long tries and my calling rec management it's back in business again. Just saying.

-since note 3 n9002 has identical soc except 3gb of ram and is capable of DSFA, why shouldn't be ours too?:D
[Lenovo Vibe Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nlohani:
oem unlock didn't work. Referring to complete steps as suggested -is backup/restore, adb sideload...etc compulsory? I mean after successfully inserting recovery image and flashing superSU I did nothing and just rebooted the device, did I bypass any step there?

Otherwise my only option is to first do a factory reset and try this again. Before you came up with this root solution I had been trying few things and playing around with some superuser/busybox apks and something from that might be causing this.
[Lenovo Vibe Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] csu333:
Just applying the update.zip should be enough. I did nothing more than that before rebooting. I also played a lot with other solutions so I don't expect conflict but who knows?
[Lenovo Vibe Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] csu333:
I do agree with you this is why I haven't put this step in my guide but still, l don't see why it would work for us and not for him. Maybe there is some kind of conflict but for what I've seen in the update.zip, there is a pretty thorough cleanup of what previously existed.

I admit that I miss the ability to have widget on the lock screen along with security enabled and a few other native features but I was able to get most through applications (I replaced the launcher by Nova launcher, downloaded the stock camera apk to get photosphere, ...

About DFSA, I think there are some extra components (amplifiers, antenna, ...) needed to make it work. But since some hacker successfully unlocked LTE on the nexus, maybe it's possible to get DFSA on our Vibe Z.

By the way, I haven't properly thanked you for translating this post in Russian so thank you ;)
[Lenovo Vibe Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] katalinscrob:
DSFA is definitely possible in vibe z, trust me. N9002 it's identical at rf module in soc. I'll do some research these days, hoping at least to make a logic scheme of our DIY.

Beers waiting for you ! :cowboy:
