Nope... That recovery can't install any zip achive...

With twrp 2.8.6.0 edited by Klich (that was the name, I think made for 4pda forum have zero problems).

Happy holidays.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BOPOH'Ok:
The EU works. For there is no full-fledged recovery function 2.8.6.0 partition /system. And 2.8.7.0 it makes perfect.

Tried a couple of zip-archives. All stitched and installed, including AromaFM.

The only minus is the inability to install ROOT with Beta_SuperSU. Perhaps the problem with Installer script as ROOT.

Lenovo Vibe x2 - issues with the driver

Also have the same problem, I did everything, I installed all of the drivers, but nothing happend.

I would really appreciate it if somebody can help me with this :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eryen:
If your windows is 64bit, you need to disable driver signature force from advanced boot setting.

In sp flash tool, press to flash button. Connect cable to device powered off.

Check in device manager to recognize device. You might need to install drivers manually on this stage, if windows is loading generic drivers.

Eventually flashtool will recognize device and start to flash.

You can press power button about 10-15 seconds, until you feel vibrate for hard reset and boot into flash mod.

Had the same problem (CU and AP rom), the gps didn't lock.

I use 3 programs from play store ... ( I'm rooted)

1. FasterGPS -> Open and change NTP Server (eg. Europe) and country (eg. Greece) (ONLY ONE TIME - Do not change any default settings)

2. GPS Status & Toolbox -> Open and from the properties download agps (I think) (Maybe is the major problem for our phone)

3. GPS Locker -> Open every time you want to open the gps. And boom it's locks about 30 secs.

Hope that helps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eryen:
Root your device.

install busybox

install mtk epo gps fixer.

download new database.

follow steps for hot/full/agps restart

locking will be faster.

I use lenovo as daily. after this little update, locking is more and more faster.

The " gps.conf" are usually not present in most China made phones, even if they do exist it is very,very crude at best. I can help you guys out if you guys can tell me what SoC you guys are running but I specialised in MTK settings and a bit for QualComm. But in order to do all this settings you need to have root access to copy over a few files ( total <1Mb)

After the update of s224 failed to install on my phone i flashed it back to s223, jus like you i have downloaded a rom s224 with twrp enabled from turk pda, now i don't know how to proceed. I don't want to make my phone get stuck in bootloop again but i still do want the s224 update. You said you are running s224 on your phone now, how do i install it using the stock recovery, can you explain step by step. If not then how do i install using twrp. Note that i have never before used twrp though i have flashed roms.

Hi,

actually, I have stopped using this phone about 1 year ago, I got tired of waiting for Lenovo to support their high end phones, but they don't give much care about it. I switched to xiaomi, and it's much better. anyways, from what I remember... the key is that you have to restart from a fresh s223, and this is done with flashing the phone from the pc. this will restore stock recovery among other things. once you have done that, and configured wifi, you should be able to check for OTA updates, and let it install it correctly. after that you can reflash custom recovery if you want. the difficulty arises if you have a CU converted to ap, you should find in this thread the necessary steps to get that working as well. sorry, that's all I can remember. good luck!

5) check the recovery ONLY

6) go to options - >download, check DA DL all with checksum

7) click download button, turn off your phone, wait for 5 sec and connect the USB

10)boot into twrp by holding power+both volume button until lenovo words comes up, release power button when you see lenovo word.

11)after this ,backup your rom in case something goes wrong during rooting

OK, I guess I messed up things a bit, maybe one of the specialists here can help me?

A while ago I flashed my X2-CU with an AP rom to get android 5.0.

This all went well as I was aware that I had to put back my IMEI and stuff.

After a while I got annoyed that I couldn't use my LTE and found an update to put CU modem files on the AP rom.

Also I noticed that lately my battery drained very fast (say half a day tops).

So I decided to flash it over again to get a nice clean install.

Now I can't get my computer to recognize my phone anymore. Not in pre-loader mode but also not in normal powered on condition. Also the USB settings in the storage part of the phone settings are greyed out.

When I hook it to the computer the computer does find a USB device but gives an error (code 43: A request for the USB device descriptor failed.)

Lenovo X2 CU Signal problem

Hello. Recently I bought chinese Lenovo X2 CU, and I got this very strange problem. When I insert a card of provider with 4G, T-Mobile MK or Vip Mk the signal of the phone is very unstable. It goes from 4G to 3G to 2G, most of the time I can't get 4G but it goes from 3G to 2G and vice versa. It doesn't matter if you move or you are stationary. When I insert older card of One MK, provider that doesn't have 4G, signal is stable with 3G. I've tried changing firmware, modems etc.

Also I have another problem. When I try to install Lenovo X2 AP lollipop firmware via SP Flash Tool, the phone only boot loops with black screen. But it works with Lenovo X2 AP or EU KitKat firmware. When I upgrade via OTA to Lollipop same thing happens - boot loop with black screen.

Lenovo Vibe X2-CU lost NVRAM

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post for help. Please don't get upset if it's not.

I have an X2-CU. I made the same mistake that many people did by formating the phone with the flash tool, and I lost the NVRAM. I have my IMEI which is printed on the box, but I don't have a serial number for the phone. There is a serial no. printed on a sticker on the back of the phone. It has both digits and letters, and I can't confirm if it's indeed the S/N, or if it has the correct number of characters.

Does anyone out there have a copy of the NVRAM for this phone that can send to me, or point me to a location that I can download a copy, so I can rescue my phone? I can put my own IMEI back in. Just need the NVRAM.
