OMG! i have to try that ... hope this time there is no added problem ...

I ve tryed this one, but dosen t wok on my phone, i ve got black sreen :(
[Android General] elsita:
Got it! finally, a stock rom with xposed working fine :) I had stock rom already filled up with apps, zipped the rom through cwm recovery and I had everything working after reboot, no wipe installing. Well, I must say I had to remove the battery in the first reboot, but I am not sure if that was a problem or I just thought booting has stopped, because it took quite a long time to boot, 3 minutes maybe.

Installed afterwards last xposed framework and rebooted again, installed gravity box from xposed and new reboot, configured gravity and after a new reboot I had extended developer options and some other tweaks. Great.

So I guess aliyunOS being the heart of the stock rom was not really the question ....

Anyway, after several months using the phone I must say thl w200 seems quicker to me than w200s, at least in everyday normal use, I don't use heavy applications normally, and what is worse, I still have the youtube closing when accesing favorites, and everyday I get a couple of FC from gmail app ... too bad. I am thinking of installing gapps from recovery so maybe that solves my problem.

And as for THL, really I cannot understand why they do not update to 4.4, they are going to lose their market quota as they keep selling all their phones with jb, while many other competitors are selling kk ...
[Android General] sokolataki:
I agree with you elsita maybe thl w200 is faster than w200s also I agree with you about thl . It has very good phones but I will not buy again their phones because they don't update their phones

Hello everyone, I think I've just dropped the ball on this.I've just brought a new w200s, Phone is working but I just can't root the thing! I've used framaroot, and even used kingo and mtk droid tools(v2.5.3) so I can root it to install cwm. Mtk tools says fail(su inaccessible) .the little color box is blue not green or even yellow. and when kingo goes through its thing, I have noticed the phone starts coming up with the the words fastboot recovery. any help people? it's got me stumped. Build no. is thl.w200s.156D.A1.JB9.HD.EN.8P256.OV8825.MT6592GW.20140421
[Android General] RSGI:
Install your normal stockROM, then install that ROM over WITHOUT formating the phone.

The result is that you'll have a deodexed stock ROM, witch allows you to use Xposed and Gravity Box.
[Android General] elsita:
that's right, this is the right way to go

after 2 days of use I have had no more FC with gmail, so this problem is also solved with this rom :)
[Android General] xxanacouto:
I have stock rom with root and twrp

That is the way i have done it but does not work on my.
[Android General] elsita:
I use the old cwm recovery, that may be the problem.

Maybe you are right, but that is the only recovery that works on my phone, he has a strong personality :=
[Android General] elsita:
hahaha, mine has a strong personality either, it only accepts cwm, but cannot restore backups of data, I did my own cwm with mtkdroidtools, maybe that is the reason mine is happy with it, try to do it yourself, it is really easy
[Android General] xxanacouto:
Thank you so much, i didn t know it was so easy to make my own recovery, and it realy is.

But the deodexded rom :( still don t work :confused::crying:

I have downloaded again the rom, putting it on internal memory instead of sd card or vice versa.

Today i tryed a new version from the rom, but no recovery. :(

It is a very hard phone :)

The OFFICIAL DEODEXED STOCK ROM comes from the rom ThL.W200S.156D.A1.JB9.HD.EN.8P256.OV8825.MT6592GW.20140421

When i instal this stock rom on my phone i have sond but no image, it is not compatible on my W200S

Can my probleme come from it ?

Managed to root it (framaroot didn't work) and installed cwm on the phone. first Rom was I tried was the cm11 type Rom but I never got past the boot screen(saw THL Thailand club? ) then tried the deodexed stock Rom(both from need Rom) which is working I will try some other's at the weekend, also installed the w200 notification fix(via cwm) but I've noticed that the capacitive Buttons are VERY dim to non existent. is there any cwm zip to fix it or am I stuck with it? well so far so good.there are some plus points over the w100 (8 cores for a start) but I've to see any.the next few days will see....update... after less than 2 days my Phone kept locking up(screen freeze ) about to try another Rom and with it and see if that helps. restored Rom that came with phone (via cwm) and that works.......

This guy is asking money for his firmwares. If you know from which phone it is, we can try porting. On needrom there is Lenovo firmware, but as Vibe, not classic one.
[Android General] sam tyler:
after trying at least 6 roms over the weekend, I find one would install and that locked up my phone. tried using mobile uncle tools to update my recovery, but all that did was to restart my phone and lose my cwm recovery I installed via mtk droid tools. I then had to reinstall it again via droid tools, so all can use is the Rom that came with the Phone(via reinstall back up in com recovery.I know I should try flash tool,but I really don't want to use it.so I'm stuck with the Rom that came with the Phone.I've had 4 Mtk phones, and this has to be the worse one I've had.
[Android General] sam tyler:
Well,took the plunge and used flashtool.even after reading about people busting there phone by using flashtool I tried it,did what it said(have all drivers,roms etc)and what happened? I got a brick! had the green circle with the ok sign, started the phone, heard sounds but nothing on the screen.sorry to swear,but what waste of ****ing time...this is how i used the flashtool

Procedure (for flashing Firmwares):

Download all (software) requirements to a folder

Download the files/folder to be flashed to a folder

Extract it to a folder

Install drivers & extract SP Flash Tool to a folder

Open Flash_tool.exe

Click Scatter-loading

Select MT6592_Android_scatter.txt found in extracted firmware

Click Download button or press F9

Shutdown your THL W200s, take out battery, return it into phone and connect it with Micro USB to PC running the Flash Tool

See it flashing before your eyes and wait for a green circle to show up on your PC to indicate successful flashing.

Start your phone and Done!

I'm waiting for a kit kat or at list your thoughts on the last official rom
[Android General] sam tyler:
Right,after doing a bit more reading up,I made a copy of the ROM that I backed up in mtk droid tools,restarted flashtool and used the scatter file from that and it restored my phone. then lesson I've learned that it seems that I can only install a backup rom via cwm or flashtool.so the ROMs ( and recovery(s) ) from need ROM are from an earlier version of mine or THL did something with the version of the phone I have.

Has anyone tried it yet?
[Android General] sam tyler:
After given a heads-up, I reinstalled the deodexed stock rom, installed Nova launcher and that stopped the phone from freezing. (tried clearing cache and data from stock launcher but no joy) and now i can add widgets to my phone. also I find some info as my phone build is 20140421 (156D.A1JB9.HD.EN.8P256) most the roms on need rom have a build date of 2013. Or 156F. 8P64 now I know I can only install roms built around my build date or later, and that if anyone makes a custom rom based on my build date/rom! I can only hope....
[Android General] DJRocha:
Hi guys!

Has anyone tried the LenovoSuperCamera.apk?

It's an amazing app, but a lot of comments about draining battery ? like hell and heating up and shutting down.

Since our phones heat up a little bit I'm a little concerned.

In my opinion it is the best camera app out there.

I used it on my W100 and it was great.

But about draining and heating up... Not so sure if it's "safe" to use it...

Opinions please

Thanks

Waiting for someone (THL preferrably) to port the W200C kitkat to the W200S. They can't be that different!
[Android General] susch19:
It's already done. Take a look at needrom, but the rom has some bugs and if your screen driver is different, you will only see a black screen and then you have to flash a file with sp flashtool.

Last night I took the chance and installed the kit kat ROM for the w200s. as it said on need ROM, there is no front camera, but it is fast.but I have noticed that not all the stuff gravity box such as adding icons to the lockscreen ring,and status bar colors can't be changed (xtools does change some things)and on the lockscreen I can't pull down the status/notification bar down.but in the first post of gravity box, it does say its not for every ROM/phone. here is a screenshot of about phone in settings from my phone.
[Android General] satiros:
Mine works just fine

BUT HUGE PROBLEM THE POCKET MODE

AND the solution mentioned above

For rooting

Its I don't know ,looks wrong or to much to do .

Towelroot doenst WOrk I tried.its an apk.

I wish somebody fix the pocket mode because it makes the phone unusable

PLEASE HELP MODS
[Android General] batt:
Settings /Accessibility/Smart wake and turn this option off

Thanks...
[Android General] sam tyler:
It does say on need ROM to turn off pocket mode.with my notification bar/lockscreen issue I just downloaded a lockscreen apk from playstore, and that cured it.for rooting, there is a link to install superuser at the end of the post on the need ROM post for the ROM.just follow what it says.I also turned off the floating apk as well.remember if you install gravity box, some things won't work.but I did read one of the gravity box posts that the developer of the ROM (I think) was waiting for a THL 5000 phone, so there is hope..
[Android General] satiros:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH POCKET MODE

BUT THE link for rooting says in red letters leads to bootloop

Also how do I flash it since there is no cwm or

Twrp

I tried vol up some small unreadable letters came up

Thanks again
[Android General] sam tyler:
That's if you have another recovery that wasn't installed by mtk droid tools.(normal cwm ) it means ONLY install the superuser from the link.and are you saying you have no recovery on your phone? Have you tried powering off the phone and pulling the battery out, wait about 10 seconds, replace the battery press and hold the volume + button and press and hold the power button and three lines of text should appear, the top one being recovery. use the volume + button to move the arrow and volume - to select recovery.and it should take you to cwm. if you haven't got recovery you use MTK droid tools(look on XDA for it ) to create cwm and back up your ROM.(i used the cwm recovery installed by mtk droid to install the 4.4 ROM) me I used the zip file from the superuser site then to make sure I had root I used Kingo root.half the ROMs on need ROM I couldn't use because some were of a different build date etc.
[Android General] satiros:
Thanks again I still have my friend carlivs recovery

So I flashed the update su zip It asked me if i want to fix root so I did

Then I checked root and it was OK

Then I used mtk uncle tools to get to recovery just to check root

Strangely it asked me again if I want to fix root

I did

It works

[Android General] sam tyler:
All I did was took a screenshot of my phone.don't know if its a real 2gb of ram.(the ROM is based on THL 5000 and W200C ) but phone is working for me.for more info on ROM contact del on need ROM, but I think the ROM comes from 4pda.

I totally agree on the attention for kk on our phone

I have to say that it started with cm but probably has nothing to do with the ROM

The battery is dying on me

Anyway I'm not satisfied with w200ass

I would like to ask

Can I flash stock or cm over 4.4 with cwm carlivs

Or its one way street to flashtool?

Thank you
[Android General] sam tyler:
after using the 4.4.2(V3) ROM from need ROM for a few days i have noticed the following things:

1)the factory data reset does not work.

2)my computer no longer detects my phone(maybe i need THL 5000 drivers?,i also have mtk drivers installed on my computer)and yes,i do have usb debugging on.

3)i no longer have cwm recovery on my phone(and because of above,i can`t connect to mtk droid tools to put back cwm as mobile uncle tools doe not work for installing recovery)

4) and titanium backup does not work(it wont restore apks)

and so if i want to return to stock,i going to have to use flashtool.

besides all this its still a great ROM! :) and gravity box does work for quick settings and heads_up which is good and i did read in one gravity box post that the developer of gravity box was getting a THL 5000(which this ROM is ported from) so for the time being i will stick with this ROM,just have to wait if the developer of the ROM will update it( and if possible fix the issues) end of rant!!

[Android General] miljenko:
Hi Satiros,

Yes you can flash back CM or stock over KK, just lk.bin from stock firmware needs to flashed back. It can be flashed back by flash tool or to add it into CWM flashable firmware and to add this line "package_extract_file("lk.bin", "/dev/uboot");" into updater-script

What is the best way of doing this? I've worked out how to put on stock ROM via flash tool.is there a way of just putting recovery (cwm/stock etc) on the k.k. ROM via flash tool? because adding that line you said is a bit above my pay scale! :) because I find the only way flash tool find the scatter file for the stock ROM was to put the whole ROM in the file for flash tool.(when you open the flash tool file,I placed it at the end of the other files etc.)because I do like the kit kat ROM beside the small issues(titanium backup etc) so is there any info to do this? thanks.

After mucking about with it and some info from China Phone arena, I worked it out.(using V5 of flash tool) done what said,the green circle came up, went in to recovery via volume + and the power button. but all it did was restart the phone.just in case I done it wrong, I have a Rebooter apk on my phone so I used that to try to get in to recovery, but again it just restarted the phone.so I guess from my earlier post, I think I will have to flash the stock ROM AND then flash the touch recovery or use mtk droid tools to install cwm.(as in earlier post I did say my phone was not being detected by my comp on mtk droid tools)or maybe there all no drivers on the 4.4.2 ROM?

[Android General] miljenko:
- for now I don't have any battery problems, and I'm first who got this phone. Maybe because I don't play games except Sudoku

- Until official KK for this phone is released there is no solution (W200c have different screen and some other things + different partition layout). We don't have sources to compile kernel (lk.bin = little kernel). I almost totally broke my phone in tryouts. You can play with all flashtool firmwares around for any brand, but be sure that you have backup with MTK Droid Tools, since full format will be obligatory after and nvram.bin partition restored in order to have IMEI.
[Android General] sam tyler:
So a little vid on YouTube about using mtk droid tools to make cwm without root(I did have root with the 4.4.2 ROM).lucky I did make a backup with droid tools when I got the phone so using my boot .img, I was able to create cwm and I flashed it via flash tools.and I did a fresh install of the k.k. ROM.I did see on the THL 5000 posts that someone find a fix for the titanium back up problem. but I havent tried it yet.but at least I've got recovery back. just got to sort out why phone is not being seen by the computer/droid tools.

What is the best way to install this recovery? flash tool or mobile uncle tools as mobile uncle wont let me install recovery. or can I extract the .img and install via flash tool? and as this one is for k.k.,and can I still use my scatter file from my backup from my stock ROM? thanks.
