you can update your phone to latest version

you can update your phone to latest version i.e K920_ROW_S137_1410291303 just reboot your phone by pressing volume down and power switch and select option 4or 5 install from sd card. for that make a folder sdfuse on the device storage and select it.

Hello,

Can you explain me a bit more, as how to do this?

I have only Update app in my phone (under Vibe UI, Settings >> System Settings >> About phone >> System update).

All the time, when I check for the newer update, phone keeps telling me, that I have the latest version.

I assume that there is not newer version of SW for my country yet, but it is quite strange, that users in other countries have newer versions so earlier. Even in Czech Republic, which is neighboring country.

Is there any way how to update my phone earlier? Can I download SW image directly from the Lenovo and upgrade it locally on the phone? (I mean, not via OTA, but via PC / USB cable?).

Many thanks !

phpne update

I have an update.

If you turn your phone off. Then press and hold Volume Up + Down + power button, you will get into some special mode - its named Lenovo-Recovery. In that mode, you have option to install update package. Update should be located in the root directory and named update.zip. Is this it, how I can update the SW version? Can someone confirm this? If yes, where can I find the update package for my phone? Any ideas guys?

Many thanks !

Hello Guys.. I messed some time ago while playing around with my Vibe Z2 Pro. This is what I have gained so far.

1. TRY NOT TO BRICK THE PHONE!!!

I searched through and found a method to unbrick the device by flashing it using QPST [Qualcomm Downloader] with the stock ROM. Unfortunately its a very tedious method and that your phone is difficult to recognize in download mode since it asks for some bla bla high speed USB connection which is damn unstable and that the download mode seems knowingly weird.

2. CAN BE EASILY ROOTED USING TOWELROOT

The phone is rooted in secs using towelroot apk. Can play around then the way you like!

3. SHORTKEY COMBINATIONS

a. Vol down + power on and release power after lenovo logo pops away - Test Mode

b. Power on and then release and Vol up - Download Mode [Damn unreliable]

Anyone tried flashing custom recovery? or is there any?

Cheers All!!!:good:
[Lenovo K900] sacthegreat:
The main reason I would need a custom recovery is for flashing New roms or kernels - both of which we don't have! Hopefully we'll get it soon enough!

And about bricking - never try to enable ART mode in developer options! It'll screw up your mobile and won't switch on! Only resolution was to do a hard reset in recovery! All data gone!
[Lenovo K900] svvv:
Ya i did that and reset my mobile 2 times....is there any way we can enable ART safely??
[Lenovo K900] slavislavi:
Unfortunately no. Ask Lenovo when they fix this.

It would be good if they were planning a Lollipop, but neither plans nor a schedule is not known.
[Lenovo K900] svvv:
Lenovo customer support would reply to any email. I contacted them many times for k900 upgrade but no reply at all. Also i heard someone telling that lenovo india confirmed upgrade z2 pro with lollipop but i am not sure whether its true.
[Lenovo K900] hajaar:
Yes, I too made the mistake of enabling ART and I had to hard-reset a couple of times. Lenovo's support forums arent that great - so I am not able to find any information on lollipop upgrades.

Has anyone had success in loading custom ROMs on their k920?
[Lenovo K900] vince_junior:
I was googling about the phone when I stumbled upon this post:

http://levelof.blogspot.com/2014/10/upgradeupdate-lenovo-vibe-z2-pro-to-50.html?m=1

can anybody confirm if its true that we can already install a lollipop custom rom in z2 pro as stated in the link? thanks.
[Lenovo K900] sacthegreat:
Doesn't seem legit.. in the version screenshot from settings, only the phone model number is in a different font.. also, it's listed as lenovo vibe z2 pro and not k920..
[Lenovo K900] Mittul Shah:
I have the phone for a while now... Open messaging app click on option button... Then more feature and settings... Then messaging setting... Then cell broadcast.... Unchecked channel 50 and 60... Then its done...

I think Lenovo should have unchecked this feature by itself only

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

We have it available in India... I confirm you that's its the international version... What the price you can buy ?? Maybe I can help you get one from here at best price possible

Hallo everyone.

Can you please tell me which european languages are supported in the ROW version, besides english?

German? French? Russian? Spanish? Italian?

Thanks a lot,

edit: The phone comes with Gapps preinstalled, isn't it?
[Lenovo K900] wonderbao:
Hi,

the gallery app is yellowish. It shows not only the pictures taken with the camera, but all pictures with a yellow tint and higher brightness. You can see the difference if you use a third party app like quickpic or set a picture as wallpaper.

Can you tell us which languages are you looking for and how are they represented in native text because there are many languages listed here but I couldn't read them as the names aren't in latin. Still I recognised spanish, french some slovakian languages.

Yes Gapps come installed.
[Lenovo K900] alfeny:
Thank you, lockhrt.

I'm looking for italian language...should be in latin characters, of course ;)

Somewhere in lenovo forum I read that ROW firmware doesn't support european languages....but it sounded weird to me...so I decided to ask to you owners...
[Lenovo K900] lockhrt999:
Italian language is not present then.
[Lenovo K900] alfeny:
That's a bad news.

So I have rooted my mobile. And installed xposed framework. Any modules that will work properly for this mobile and is a must have?

I'm currently using app settings (for changing individual apps dpi), youtube ads away. Couldn't find any other which might work on this.
[Lenovo K900] lockhrt999:
Guys I'm not being able to turn off broadcasting messages. I have turned off everything in broadcasting settings.

Also there's a bug in audio profile settings. I have turned on vibration in general mode and turned off vibrations on touch keys. But whenever i switch between profiles, those settings revert back to default.

Also the battery drain is quite fast on 3g.
[Lenovo K900] sacthegreat:
Had the same issues..

For broadcast msgs, activate it and uncheck it once again. It should work. Particularly the channel 50 and 60..

For vibration in different modes, I had that issue, but something Fixed it. I'll try to remember that and tell u..

But there is a bug that even if a particular checkbox is checked, unchecking it and checking it will help. Try for the vibration thing as well
[Lenovo K900] Mittul Shah:
If the screen looks yellowish go to settings - display- display colour balance...

It will be comfort if the screen is yellowish change it to default... Then its all fine

Hey has anyone bought the smart flipcover http://www.flipkart.com/lenovo-flip-cover-vibe-z2-pro/p/itmey2uf3a6agtkh. Any idea how it works. its with magnet or proximity sensor? does it affect the battery life? What about the camera lens protection? does it lift it off the surface?

it's magnet operated off course. Sensor is present on the left side of the ear piece. If you want to see that menu just take a small magnet near that spot.

Vibe Z2 Pro Root Problems

Good Evening Everyine,

I purchased the Vibe Z2 Pro and absolutely loved the phone; however I performed an update on the device and Google Play Store stopped working. I have tried restarting the services and all of the usual fixes; but nothing has worked so I decided to root the phone using Kingo and other rooting software but all have failed. If anyone has any solution to this issue it would slow down my aging process greatly! Is there a way to get stock Android back on my phone?

Best Regards,

Curtis
[Lenovo K900] Spariant:
You've got the 1600 bucks wala case or the one that was earlier on sale for 500 something... From a third party on flipkart...
[Lenovo K900] Spariant:
When I use a small magnet it brings up the small window view screen... If I remove it when that view is on I get to the home screen but if I wait for the window view to disappear and then pull off the magnet then the phone remains off! Does that mean when I open the case after a long time it won't switch on automatically?

Also is there a way to bypass the lockscreen when I open the cover and directly reach the homsescreen?
[Lenovo K900] lockhrt999:
You can boot into stock android from developer menu.
[Lenovo K900] littlejon:
I got it from aliexpress (can't post links). It's hard to tell if it's genuine or not, but it doesn't feel cheap at all.

With the flip case it works as it's supposed to. The phone wakes and goes directly to home screen when I open the case even after hours of beeing closed. I would excercise caution when using strong magnets, you might get some components of the phone magnetized and the sensor might stop working.

I'm on the default Lenovo ROM, try that if you're on stock.
[Lenovo K900] Spariant:
Hope i have not damaged it already... waiting for my flipcover to arrive and check it out...
[Lenovo K900] slavislavi:

Unroot K920

Hey i roooted the phone with towel root at the 126 version. Now cant update firmware. Any idea how to unroot? i used the complete unroot option in superuser but the phone is still rooted although there is no superuser now. pls guide...
[Lenovo K900] slavislavi:
Did you also delete something from system folders? OTA checks all files before updating.

The easiest way is full Factory Reset/Flash Stock Firmware - ofc you loose all data, do backup first.
[Lenovo K900] Spariant:
Full factory reset means i go into the factory reset option in backup and reset menu? if i flash the stock rom how do i do it? i have the stock rom qsb file... i read somewhere the following instructions...

Instructions:

At the root of the internal memory of the phone to create a folder sdfuse .

It decompress the downloaded firmware file format .qsb . Make sure that the directory contains only one qsb - file .

Turn off the phone.

Turn on the phone while holding down the " volume down "and" power "

In the menu that appears, select " Update sd "

(Navigate through the menu using the " Volume + "and" Volume - " , enter the menu - button " power " )

Wait until the installation

you think they are alright?

yes i did delete some useless system apps...

---------- Post added at 02:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

Tried the factory reset but the files i deleted earlier are still not present and OTA does not work.. pls tell how to flash teh stock firmware and the image of the stock firmware if you know where to get from...
[Lenovo K900] slavislavi:
Yes, go sdfuse way, looks correct.
[Lenovo K900] lockhrt999:
One issue guys.

The wallpaper has gone dark. I tried changing wallpaper and restarting the phone. Each time the wallpaper is changed it goes even darker. Do now it's pitch black.
[Lenovo K900] Spariant:
Huh finally flashed the stock rom succesfully and upgraded succesfully... now can i dare to root again? or i will be deprived of OTA again? i really want to use xposed and get OTA as well...
[Lenovo K900] lockhrt999:
Solved. It has something to do with smart bright feature from the notification menu. Toggling it solved the issue.
[Lenovo K900] Spariant:
LED notification light

Has anyone been able to customize the LED notification light? it seems its not RGB full spectrum... XLED xposed module does not work...
[Lenovo K900] lockhrt999:
Negative.

I have not found any option to take low resolution photos either.
[Lenovo K900] sacthegreat:
Anyone knows how to remove that notification on the top of the screen when you are on a call? It does give me an opportunity to go to the call ui easily, but it also blocks me from seeing any other notification while on call!

Same thing with the annoying wifi connected/disconnected notifications.
[Lenovo K900] Spariant:
You mean the ticker notification for wifi? For the wifi connection status there is an option in the notification centre... Tick it off.. No idea about the in call notification
[Lenovo K900] sacthegreat:
That worked! Thanks! But still dunno for the call notification!

Btw, there are some bugs which are quite irritating.. like phone does random reboot twice daily.. accessibility settings of some apps will be reset freq.. top network indicator shows two sims even when only one sim is inserted and some more.. network range sucks.. other phones around me (htc, nokia, samsung) all had network with 3g while mine had no network on either sims on the same network (airtel)!

I have an option to Return this mobile.. So was thinking if I could find a better mobile than this? Any suggestions?

Vibe Z2 Pro Microsoft Exchange problem

hi there, I'm experiencing problem with my new Vibe Z2 Pro when connecting to my corporate Microsoft Exchange.

[Lenovo K900] sacthegreat:
I checked the nexus 6 side by side with the pro.. the display was real bad. And the camera is just so so. Looks wise, the pro is awesome!

[Lenovo K900] BigBlue007:
Will receive my Z2 Pro tomorrow. Just a quick question (was probably answered before, but couldn't find a definite answer so far): Does Towelroot still work with the latest OTA update applied? I.e. can I update the phone up to the latest OTA update first, and then apply root via Towelroot?

TIA!
[Lenovo K900] littlejon:
Yes, it does.

This brings up another thought. There hasn't been any update for some time right? Could this mean that the devs are working on android L ROM? Just speculating, but it would be awesome and I'm sure it would bring much more attention to this otherwise wonderful device. The only thing I miss is support for SD card, but I've learned to live with that.
[Lenovo K900] vince_junior:
According to another site, even way back in september when z2 pro was launched, lenovo had already stated that a loliipop update is coming. I think it is set in stone. We just dont have info as to when is that gonna happen.

Cell broadcast isnt a bug.

We can turn that off if you want too.

Open message.. the press the left capacitive key (menu) - then more feature and settings - then message settings - cell broadcast - scroll down andd untick channel 50 and channel 60 broadcast.

Do the same for sim 2 also.

Even i received the update... Can anyone tell me that whats new in that.

Hey guys,

New to the forum but I've had a search for an answer (not that much of a newbie :D) so I thought I'd ask straight out!

I have the Orange version of the Hermes, and noticed that the built in Today menu Orange provides works very nicely with the Scroller (left hand side) to allow you to choose items on the menu.

My problem is that I'm using phoneAlarm and cLauncher. Neither of these react to the scroller. Anyone know of a way to convert the scroller movements into simple up and down commands, as the D-Pad/hard buttons at the bottom allow you to highlight and select items in pA&cL?

If this makes no sense I'll reword it ;)

Thanks in Advance!

[EDIT]

Just for searching purpose, Scroll Wheel might be a better term. There's also Jog Wheel which isn't the same, but similar!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rayan:
The Scroller behaves just as if you where pressing the Dpad up or down. It does not provide lateral movement (like the SonyEricsson PXXX sieries).

Thus with PhoneAlarm and cLauncher you can just scroll to it (depending on the skin, you should be able to tell when you are on the desired today row or plugin) and then must use the DPad to navigate left or right through the different icons.

Rayan
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] XellDusk:
I thought that was the case, but when I use phoneAlarm and the D-Pad, I get yellow squares highlighting the buttons, but if I use the Scroller it doesn't do anything. This leads me to believe it's not totally the same :eek:
