Make sure you download the one meant for 4.2 right at the bottom, the main links are meant for 4.3 and above. After installing the older maps, go to the play store and disable auto-updates, otherwise it will update to 8.1 immediately

I need help!

jayXzMx or anyone please help me. I have problem with my a850+ phone. I flashed Rom in my phone with SP flash tool and i select option format all + download. Rom flashed ok but the nvram data is lost (IMEI numbers and Wifi settings). There is an error nvram warning err=0x10. I have original lenovo A850+ Rom with files modemdb and apdb. I found program which is able to write this files (IMEI & SN WRITER) but it doesn't see my device because my system win7x64 can't recognize properly MT 65xx preloader. Device manager doesn't see this preloader in COM port so this program can't see it also. I installed the MTK 65xx Usb vcom drivers but it didn't help. Is there any solution for my problem? or anyone can make backup nvram data for me with MTK Droid tools? Please help me, i don't know what to do:(

By the way good work jayXzMx i installed your custom rom s124. Everything works great i have only problem with wifi connection.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] schizyk12:
Hi everyone! I used this rom few minutes, because I'm from polish, I want do multilanguage rom s124 or U do this for me, please. If u can't do it because U haven't any time, soo I can do it for myself or for all, but U must show me how I can do it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] licklick:
thanks , finally i found a rom for my a850+ , thanks jayXzMx, good job

Can someone post some screenshot of this ROM ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jayXzMx:
You have big problem.. If u dont have back up via mtk droid tool.. Means u will not able to flash or restore ur imei.. I can do provide my nvram that i have backup but not sure weither it can be suitable with urs n weither u can change the imei after u restore the imei.. I had the same problem once but luckyly i have backup.. Or u have other nearest friend us same phone u can ask for backup n try to restore nvram from his backup..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jayXzMx:
Hi schizyk, the only multilanguage for now is S119.. Just use the S119 rom as it stable.. S124 only have minor update.. Just flash the S119..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gregorecki21:
jayXzMx there is solution to change IMIE numbers without any programs. When i formated my nvram i have error in android: "invalid IMIE number" but i found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2269740 user Chrizzly92 sent a tool to generate IMIEI number and it works in my phone. In Mobile uncle tool i did backup my IMIE so don't worry i will be able to change yours IMIE.

By the way i installed your custom s119 and i found bug:

Original lenovo application (Power manager, Mail, File browser) have problem with update. Updates are download but they don't install because there is a problem wit signature.

Hmm. I have a question, what news has got a rom s124 than rom s119? I want multilangue rom, but s124 i newest than s119 and I think, better ;/ I'm right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gregorecki21:
Are you install this recovery (carliv recovery)? If yes go to recovry mode and select wipe preflash and install zip from SD card and must run with no error. Dont select install update.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] amruhaidy:
I've successfully flashed s119 rom to my A850+. However, there is a problem where it says that the Google Play Service has conflict an incompatible with the device. Any solution? Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jayXzMx:
mobileuncle is only for flashing recovery not for flashing rom.. the better u use custom recovery to flash.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jayXzMx:
it suppose dont have any issue with playservice as it updated it self, unless u use kitkat or higher mod apps or non mod apps require supported playservice which is u can uninstall and reinstall mod playservice..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amruhaidy:
The apps that I wanted to use with play service was COC and as far as I concern, our device should never be available in kitkat yet, any apps on it as well. How long does it take for the playservice to be updated after a fresh flashing of the rom? I'll try to reflash the rom afterwards and see how it will be going. Thanks for the reply though:thumbup::thumbup::beer:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amruhaidy:
This a reconfirmation that I'm experiencing a Google Play Service incompatible/unsupported on device by using the S119 ROM. With all due respect, I hope that you can work things out for me and solve the issue. I'll be extremely helpful in the process should you need extra information of my device. Thank you.

I noticed a bug with S124-ROM. I do not mean anyone else has to.

The MX Player H / W mode, not continuous playback. S / W mode, not a bug.

Factory ROM was not such a problem.

S.O.S !!!!!

I accidentally Format All when using SP FlashTools , this lead to formatting NVRAM partition which contain IMEIs and wifi mac address,

So my IMEI now is Invalid , cause no signal.

Can [MENTION=5108067]jayXzMx[/MENTION] or Somebody can upload your Lenovo A850+ nvram.bin or nvram.img , which is easily made by BackUp function of the app MTK Droid Tools or MTK NVRAM Tools to help me recover it.

This means that I could use your Imei and Serial , howerver , I promise that I only need your nvram.bin files to recover temporarly , then using app SN Write Tools app to edit the imei to the my device imei , because this app requires valid nvram.

Thanks for help and best regard
[Miscellaneous Android Development] setmov:
Try this:

If the IMEI lost / invalid last flash ROM

Dial * # 06 # out "invalid IMEI"

Copy / indicate the IMEI of the phone box or from the bottom / top of the battery.

Use MobileUncle Tool:

1. The Run MobileUncle

2. Joined Enginering Mode

3. Choose Enginering Mode (MTK)

4. Choose Tab connectifity

5. Choose CDS Information

6. Choose Radio Information

7. Choose Phone 1, Write on the row:

AT + EGMR = 1.7, "IMEI_1 PARKING HERE"

- Press SEND AT COMMAND

8. For Phone 2, write:

AT + EGMR = 1.10, "IMEI_2 PARKING HERE"

- Press SEND AT COMMAND

9. Restart Phone ... DONE

Dial * # 06 #

(solution thanks to member nnnor.98015)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vutuantu1990:
Thank for reply.

I knew this method is success but it is temporaly and the IMEI will be erased by wipe factory reset or flash another rom.

I need nvram.bin because this method is permanent and cannot be erased easily by normally using.

so, it the reason i wish you or somebody help me upload the nvram.bin file

ps: my phone cannot guarantee the LCD because if the invalid imei
[Miscellaneous Android Development] setmov:
As far as I know, you can backup your IMEI through custom recovery. If you use the mentioned method, you can upgrade fix your problem, then make a backup. If you will ever lose your IMEI again, you will be able to recovery in no time. So, install the rom you want, fix the IMEI, make backup, and you're good to go. And to be honest, I have not understood your sentence: "ps: my phone cannot guarantee the LCD because if the invalid imei".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vutuantu1990:
sorry for the mistake of the translation, the sentence means that my problem of phone lcd cannot be replaced in service center because of invalid imei.

now , i have to use your method to fix the problem to continue using temporarily and be satisfied everything except no warranty

Hello jayXzMx, is there any way to Update ( increment ) camera MP in Official Rom S118_140226 ? Thanks in advance for your answer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 911-Future_Maker:
When you hit clear ram it kills not only all apps which are running in foreground and background, but it kills also their services and the app can't be restarted by itself. That's not a ROM problem, this is just how MiUi works.

BTW this is a great way for saving battery.

Now for my experience with the Rom v124: I have problems with phone suddenly rebooting when playing on games which are on external SD card. Someone is having a similar problem?

In case of S124 (the others I did not check) I did not find the flash of the boot.img in the updater script.

Was it planned, or this is only a small mistake/copy-paste err?

Stuck in Lenovo Recovery, no boot

Please excuse the basic grasp I have of Android and updating software. (A little knowledge is a dangerous thing in my case!)

I stupidly removed some pre-installed apps to try to prevent various malware from my A850+. I now cannot boot up into homescreen. I tried installing an update package I found, using the Lenovo updater, but it got no further than 50% then failed. However, somehow the phone booted to allow me to install some apps from the pulldown menu. I very nearly managed to install CWM but after getting this and the firmware update onto the SD card I can't reboot - it's stuck on the Lenovo screen.

Any tips about how to complete this?

I tried to move them to pc which was not a problem, but when I came to delete them from internal memory they would not delete I believe due to the write protection enable. so long story short got phone replaced under warrenty even with knox tripped (lomg story). I just flashed kitkt 4.4 and rooted my device and flashed philz cwm, I came to copy my last nandroid backup to internal memory to do a restore and it wont let me. it says this device is no longer connected. but I can go into any other directory and copy it. can somebody plz help????????????
