You should install other recovery from aroma itself, in your case Philz touch would do the difference.

Not sure atm since i always since a long, long, long time take very serious about the steps i should take.

You should contact me before you flash that bat file.

like i said atm, i'm not sure what you should do :(

I know exactly what i would do but i won't recomend it for who not familiarized with qpst files. Personally if i went to completely stuck i pick my QPST thread a flash it through there (witch i've made it for 6 times already :D ). Building somthing for this phone isn't that easy you know?

Try something before anything else.

See if you can enter on lenovo recovery (power plus vol-) and " SD Update" or in last resource "Factory Reset"
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Mpastardos:
You can tell me what you would do and i will chose if i can or not do it. Also can you post a link with your QPST thread ? Thanks for your answer.
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:

Help for upgrading.

Thanks for this thread, i don't know if this is the right place but i'll ask anyway, i Have this ROM

Hardware Version: H303

Software Version: S100

Android Version: 4.2.

SC6500_modem|base_SVN|HW Version : SC6500_modem01-02-2014 10:38:28

Internal Version Number: VIBEROM_V1.0_1407_2_ST_K910

But i Want to Upgrade it to 4.4, i have read many forums and i haven't found a thread for that.

I'd like to mount the last Stable ROM for Lenovo K910 . Thanks

I'll apreciate and step by step solution.
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:
On my signature check for original firmware thread.

There you could find the last available ROMs from Lenovo.

Install the ROM zip file through recovery.

If you can't do that straight forward follow this:

To install them you'll need root privileges (if you haven't check my all tool...) and a custom recovery (philz touch)

When I bought my phone, it came Rooted from China and a Spanglish ROM

I have Read all Your post Crowds but i dont know hot to start, there are many instructions bur wich is the first?

I'm not a begginer doing this kind of things but new Phone New Problem.

I Hope u could help me.

We Need more people like you on XDA. :D
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:
OK if you're not a complete n0obie :D its easier.

If you're rooted forget this step if you're not you should get root privileges. To do that you must run root genius from the referred post above. (I'm not entirely sure if this root 4.2.2 thou. Try it)

Now you're rooted (by the above steps or you already have it) you should enter in recovery mode.

By pressing both volume keys on reboot you should enter on that. Do you have stock recovery or custom one?

If you have the stock you should flash a custom one. To do so install rashr from play store and you can flash zip files from there.

After this you'll be able to flash any zip file from recovery like any other ROM/phone/whatever. Install the new Lenovo firmware.

After install the new one you'll lost everything, root included, so you should repeat the above steps if you want root and recovery.

I never had listened about Rash (I just downloaded), let me tell what I understand...

1.Install the app

2.Flash the Original Firmware. Zip

3.Done

Sorry for my annoying questions... But I want to do a good procedure.

Pd: Wich rom recommend you to me (Stable)
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:
Again my friend.

Rahsr will be used to install recovery in case you haven't.

Regarding rom itself you'll find original ones in my signature or custom ones...choose ;)

hi team ...i just bought i k910 dual sim and i can t enable wifi on any suggestions It came rooted but i have noticed that supesu can t uptated any suggestions I ll appreciate it.Plz i need your help
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:
Hi ;)

First start from downloading root app from 1st post. This will delete supersu and install kinguser.

Since you're having issues with WiFi I recommend an upgrade firmware to check.

After that just choose the rom you want to install (check my signature) you can install original firmware or custom rom

If you want root you need yo run rootgenious again after the new falsh.

can you help me ? i try to flash twrp (Install TWRP Easy & Clean - Simple but effective way to install TWRP with just one click) but failed.

and now i stuck at the lenovo logo ? anyone can help me pls ?
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] S34d0g:
What happens if you restart the phone? Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds. If you can boot into android, cool: root first, restart, grant superuser privileges to security and other necessary apps, make sure USB debugging is on and that the computer you're using is allowed, try flashing twrp again.

Otherwise see if you can boot into the original manufacturer's recovery (power and volume down, hold together until phone reboots, keep holding volume down until you see recovery). If you can do it, you haven't bricked your phone, find Crowds's topic about unbricking, have fun restoring your device to usable status ?
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] min7143605:

Problem with rooting.

Hi,

I'm a newbie and I've got a problem with rooting such stock ROM: VIBEUI_V2.0_1447_7.100.1_DEV_K910. I've tryed rootgenius for many times and the usb debugging was always turned on.

I tryed to look for the answer on my own by searching through xda forums, google and youtube but I can't find the proper way.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks a lot in advance :D

You just need to look at your phone and a window popup will appear to grant access. Give access and the process will start.

Out of all above, I did flash back to 4.2.2 by dfuse, sideload stock ROM 1437 and run TWRP (actually Crowd Recovery, thanks Crowd). You can download TWRP from needrom. If sucessfull (as always to me) you will have a permanent recovery unlocked phone. Just go to anywhere, download your suitable ROM and sideload it. TWRP will alsways ask for SU installation after sideload.

Your phone will be ROOTED

I can say, TWRP is very very suitable flash tool for K910, thanks developers :)

TWRP v2.7.1.5

I installed this version of TWRP from the OP by loading CWM via adb. All went well but when I try to boot into TWRP it doesn't boot. It boots into the stock recovery if I press volume - with power buttons, boots normal with volume + with power buttons & hangs at the boot logo with both volume +/- with power. Am I doing something wrong? Would love to have custom recovery without having to use adb.
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] henry8668:
Thanks Crowds for your great post!!

Just got my k910 and can't wait to root & install new ROMs. Want to make sure I fully understand the steps before I start. Here are the list of steps I need to do based on my reading of this thread, and with my questions

Root with RootGenius_en

Unlock 4.4.x bootloader

Install TWRP Easy & Clean

Philz Touch CWM ( since I have RWRP, do I need this?)

Install TWRP v2.8.1.0 (newest version?)

Latest K910 Roms (my phone actually has VIBEUI_V2.0_1447_7.129.1_ST_K910, which is newer than VIBEUI_V2.0_1441_7.2.1_DEV_K910, right? so I can skip this?)

Install Google Play - Recovery

Install Google play - GMS TOOLS (what is GMS TOOLS?)

Unlock Lenono Weather Cities.

Is this correct steps?

Is there recommendation on good and stable ROM that works for this dual sim-card phone?

The specification for this phone says this has sd card support, do I have to open the back of the phone to install the cd card?

Thanks!
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:
let's see...

i will presume that you have 4.2.2 instaled on you phone.

root with root genious (this will be only needed IF you haven´t bought it already rooted)

run TWRP

install new version from here (this may take a few days to dw :D )

root again (only if TWRP didn´t do it when you reboot the phone after the rom installation)

install latest TWRP v2.8.1.0 (optional)

unlock bootloader (optional)

install google play from recovery (only this one. the other is the same but another method)

unlock weather (optional)

hope this will be clear and helpfull ;)
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] henry8668:
wow, super fast response, Thanks!!

Very clear. I think my phone is unrooted. However I have version 4.4.2 installed, does this change any step?
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:
Yes.

#1 obviously :D

By the way, check you you haven't any 3rd party recovery installed by rebooting and keep pressed both volume keys till lenovo logo appear. If you have another than lenovo one skip #2 as well
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] henry8668:
The recovery is showing "lenovo", so #2 "run TWRP" is still needed. but having difficulty...

when I tried to run flashrec.exe to Install TWRP, I got output as in attached screenshot. the phone had a buzz and then just display the "lenovo" logo forever. after 10 minutes, I hold the power button to turn the phone off. after boot to recovery, it is still lenovo, TWRP is not there.

after repeat and failed twice, I tried to root first(run RootGenius_en.exe), during the run, the phone rebooted a couple times, then it said failed to root and suggested me to manual root...

what could be wrong or missing?
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] oho_coe14:
problem solved

just want to share my experiences from problem above. as i mentioned i can enter TWRP so ADB stilling working.

i used ADB sideload "teamw.in/ADBSideload" to push new ROM to my K910 and flash it. then my K910 came back to life.

strange thing is first i downloaded ROM for K910e from "vibeui.com/list" but cannot flash it. from CLI said this ROM for is "kitone" but the device is "kiton"

so i downloaded another from from needrom which is for K910 and it successfully flashed.

right now i am using crowd ROM and it's work great. thankyou alot
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] henry8668:
just update... the root method didn't work for me. after tons of search online, I found that I had to revert back to one of previous stock rom which is 4.2.2, and then root it, and flash to newest ROM!

Update

I finally got TWRP 2.8.1.0 installed!!! My issue was that the bootloader was still locked. Once I ran the batch file (listed in OP) to unlock it... BAM works!!!!! :D

Now after getting my damaged phone fixed & returned I did the update to 4.4.2 on my 2nd phone and been running a week now with no issued. So now my issue is with my other one that I waited to see how the update ran before updating that one. I did a full backup (all 11 partitions selected) in TWRP of the one already updated & working great to basically clone it. Transferred the backup & restored all 11 partitions on the other phone. Now it won't detect the sim in slot 1. :confused: Could I have screwed up the radio by doing the full restore? It worked before. Any help world be much appreciated.

[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] KeyperOS:
Hi, a friend gave me a Lenovo K910e that he bought from China that in his attempt to unlock it he soft-bricked it and asked me if I could return it to stock.

Currently, it boots into the Lenovo logo and stays there. I CAN enter into the stock Lenovo recovery but I have no idea where to get an update.zip to flash in it to return it to stock.

ADB does not recognize the phone (not in recovery and not in fastboot mode)

Fastboot DOES recognize the phone. When I run "fastboot oem device-info" it returns that the tamper flag is false and the unlock flag true, yet, when I try to flash either the TWRP OR CWM recoveries it shows FAILED <remote: Locked>.

Trying to directly flash either recovery returns invalid data.

Also, when I type EITHER fastboot oem lock/unlock, in both cases it presents three dots "..." and stays there, nothing happens.

Could you perhaps help me as I am at my wit's end.

My PC has Windows 8.1 x64 and since it's not my phone I am not too keen on installing weird drivers that might botch my Windows and require a format (it took me 2 full days to properly flash the ADB drivers for my phone as it were as they weren't for Windows 8/8.1 and weren't recognized).
