okay this seems to fix the camera issue, but now i cant record videos. The camera is forced to close. still better then before, thank you! :) any possible fix for bad reception (signal) ? maybe is the rom or bad antena?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BOPOH'Ok:
Try disassemble the phone and check the coax antenna cable, is it departs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerry Jemson:
Try changing ur charger and it's cable...I too had this issue once... I changed my charger... now my phone charges within

A hour...

For the camera issue try clearing the data and cache in app settings...Hope it works...:D

For the antenna issue try the suggestion bopok said...:o

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skkrilec:
charging and camera issue are not as important as signal.. i found out how to open the phone but i still don't know where the antena is. and which cable to check.. i hear that poor signal/no signal is a common problem with this phone..

Did you choose firmware upgrade? I had faced this problem before, and the solution is to flash the right bootloader.

Sorry for so late to reply, and now you can install any os in SP flash tool and use the unoffical cyanogenmod 13 for X2! I'll post a thread later about all modems of X2, with flashable zips!

New LOGO for Vibe X2

All hi.

I offer you two new images of a logo for Vibe X2.

Build and test it I. Mr. Nafuk from LFTeam, the real master of paints and a brush helped with drawing.

There are confirmations that it works correctly on many versions, as well as charging when the device is turned off.

Downloading is possible with : NeedROM

Installation:

Installation is possible as well as from TWRP, and from SFTP.

SFTP:

Download the image, place it in any folder in the root of the C: drive on the PC, remove all checkboxes except logo.img, in the logo.img line specify the location of the new logo. Stitch in Download Only mode.

TWRP:

It's even simpler.

Load the image into the internal memory of the phone, boot into the TWRP mode, tap on the Installation, select the bottom Install Image, select the file with the image and flash it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerry Jemson:
Works great bro....??? Thanks a lot...

That's it.

Thank you for your attention to me and my efforts in helping Vibe X2.

Screeching with my heart, I parted with my X2.

I switched to a new platform. Here's my new device.

No matter how sorry, but ... All good luck in using Vibe X2 ...

Good bye and see you...

Safety Net still broken after unrooting with Kingroot

I had been using kingroot for sometime, but now I need to use Google pay.

As Google pay doesn't work with root and a broken Safety Net, I decided to unroot using kingroot's built in unroot and uninstall feature.

But even after that Google pay doesn't work.

I checked with a safety net tester app and it seems that safety net is still broken even though I have unrooted the system.

How do I fix this.

PS: I haven't changed any system settings or flashed any ROM.

I use Lenovo X2-EU Stock Android with TWRP.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerry Jemson:
Unrooting through Kingroot leaves some traces of the files behind and that's why the safety net is triggered.

Solution is to clean flash the ROM again so that the traces won't be there and then try to use Google pay.

Magisk is the best rooting solution which doesn't trigger safety net and it's helps us mask the root. So u can use Banking apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Half ice:
Thanks for the help

Thanks but I encountered problems while installing magisk. I can't boot Android as it gets stuck at the first logo forever.

Moreover I don't need root now so I figured another method using a folder called Replace_kingroot_with_supersu_v4.zip. (couldn't find the exact version but older ones can be found using Google). It had a readme file which had all the instructions. I ran it using terminal emulator and after a single reboot, there wasn't a single trace of Kingroot (not even normal folders) and SuperSU was installed and managing root already.

So I used the complete unroot option in SuperSU and safety net was back on.

I' m trying to update using a rom X2_CU found on lenovo forums (russia). I will tell you if it works or not.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

http://lenovo-forums.ru/index.php/topic/10166-lenovo-vibe-x2-cu-прошивка-cn-st1445-от-141106-для-пк/

Good and bad news.

Good : i had bricked my device trying to update with an EU rom and manage to restore my phone with the rom CU found on that forum (mut use sp flash tool 5.1436, load the scatter file in the "X2-CU_USR_ST1445_5.8.1_1411061839_MP11V1.9_CN\target_bin" folder, choose update firmware).

Bad news : this rom is older than the stock one but it's the same, english and chinese only and full of lenovo bloatware.

I will try to find another rom on the internet. Maybe the EU rom if i manage to succeed this time (i don't care about 2nd sim).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rixto003:
Thx for the info

Where do you find that stuff?

Searched as much as I could and didn't find any custom or working roms (only rom I managed to find was split into 3 parts and every part wanted me to fill in a survey before download (like I'd do that though))
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
I succeeded :D

Well it's hard to find those roms but it looks like that those russians guys at lenovo forums are great :) I don't understand russian but with the "yandex translate" it's easier.

So the stock rom is here :

http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-x2-cu/ ( you have to register in order to download... but you can use 10minutemail.com if you like). You must not use adblock on their website so i tried that url with internet explorer.

Once downloaded i opened sp flash tool 5.1436 (see UGOCAT post well above).

In option menu you have to tick, in DOWNLOAD : DA DL ALL WITH CHECKSUM (don't know why but everybody says to do it)

Then i choose FIRMWARE UPGRADE. Then i load MT6595_Android_scatter.txt found in the folder : Lenovo-vibe-x2-cu\X2-CU_USR_ST1443_5.5.1_1410241921_MP11V1.9

I click on DOWNLOAD.

My phone is closed (and before i have enabled the developper options and checked USB DEBUGGING, and when i shut it i haven't tick the quick boot option : i wonder if this is only required if you update instead of upgrading firmware but i don't understand russian so i haven't took the risk not doing this).

Then i used the usb cable to connect the x2 to the pc... sp flash tool detected it in about 15 seconds (i had already installed lenovo drivers) and itstarted to flash until i saw an ok green sign.

That's all, you can turn on the phone :)

Sadly i have lost everything on the phone, it's like new.

Honestly it might be risky. I have bricked my phone trying to update with the EU ROM but it looks like we can always put the stock rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericp2:
Hi did the same thing.... But i managed to fix it manually. First you need root. I did that with kingroot. After that, find a minimal gapps for android 4.4.2. Extract /system/apps and /system/priv-apps in your sd card. Then use any root explorer to copy the corresponding files to the system app and priv-app folders. The last thing is to set the permissions of the copied files to 0644 or they will not work! Reboot. This restored google add account capability, and then contacts, calendar and playstore now work. For bloatware, most of it can be uninstalled. For unwanted system apps, i used titanium backup to remove them. Obviously, you need to be carefull doing all this, but my phone now works as it should. Hope this helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rixto003:
Where did you get your Lenovo drivers?

Flash tool does not detect my phone normally, I have to boot with VOL UP + POWER button for it to detect it and then the red bar goes to 100% and seems to stay there. I'm guessing that it might be because I have some other MTK driver installed (though I have also tried installing Lenovo drivers)

EDIT:

could you answer with a reply (reply button) so I'd get an email notification when you answer
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delatour:
Well it's a tough one as mine wasn't detected either at the beginning. You shouldn't have to press buttons on your phone.

I don't know if it's required but :

1 - use a usb 2 port (not usb 3) if you can

2 - i wonder if you need to unable usb debugging in the developper options on the phone

3 - shut the phone off without ticking the "quick boot" option

Then... for the drivers...

1 - I have installed those :

http://www.chinaphonearena.com/forum/Thread-Tools-Ultimate-ADB-USB-VCOM-MediaTek-Driver-Pack

There is a folder with mtk drivers

2 - and those : LenovoUsbDriver_1.0.12.rar

I can't remember where i found them

I think it was there http://lenovo-forums.ru/index.php/topic/8741-lenovo-a606-драйвера-и-утилиты-для-пк/

It's a pain to register there even with the yandex translate but it's worth it.

If you google LenovoUsbDriver_1.0.12.rar you can found them elsewhere but i don't know if it's full of viruses

Honestly i think that the ultimate pack should be enough. What is important is that my phone was only detected with sp tools 5.1436, older or newer versions never found it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rixto003:
well registering on the russian site was only hard since I don't have a russian layout so I had to use google translate to answer the security question, but otherwis basic russian knowledge comes in handy sometimes ;)

EDIT:

nope, njetu, nada

Doesn't work again. Phone just vibrates a bit and then shows charging pic.... quick boot is off, debugging both on and off and still nope

any idea how to get the back cover open on this thingy without throwing it against a wall?

Yep, looks like it just doesn't work on Windows 10 ;)

VRoot is the best root

To root most (not 100%) of LENOVOs ROM just run VROOT attached USB to Phone and press the big green "ROOT" button. You dont have to use customs kernel and such I did this for A880/A889/S939/A8-A5500/A7_A3300(Tabs) after that just download SuperSU from Playstore and it wil ask whether to change Superuser "YES" and the RootMaster Superuser (Chinese Superuser)_ will be banished from your phone. The only drawback is not having busybox installed but t will work fine.

I used this method to exract the systems folder to make customs ROMs. Only then I shall put in busybox , sudaemon. and other superuser dependent files and create the flashing script.

I have windows 7 X64 (haven't tried on my windows 8 laptop).

Hope it will work on windows 7 :)

edit : maybe you could delete the driver (in the properties tab of windows, device manager) and install only lenovo drivers (i did this once when the phone wasn't detected but i'm not sure about it). You could try also a newer version of sp flash tool, maybe we haven't got the exact same phone...

Dont say Win 7 is garbage when you are running MTK SoC devices it is your life (phone saver) it runs excellent on Win7 sice most MTK drivers are made for win 7 exclusively with some gymnastics needed to run on Win8. I will keep that Win7 handy if I intend to use an MTK Soc device especially from LENOVO. (I mod mostly LENOVO models firmwares, I know what i am talking about)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsVas:
Well, I've been searching for suitable ROM for my X2 - CU. During my search i found a lot of people with the same problem. I'm not sure but i think you have two option just accept it or flash another ROM to the device.

Obviously the second option is the only one that it's valid so here's some of my knowledge on the matter:

Vibe X2 - CU ROM - the original version is the one that you are currently with. Chinese and NO GOOGLE SERVICES. This is because the CU version is produced for China and normally if it's sold outside of China you are getting a bit edited ROM with the updates locked in order to avoid issue that you are experiencing. If you want to downgrade you'll need to find a costume recovery image of the ROM or the actual ROM that the Chinese vendors are putting before selling it on the global market.

Vibe X2 - EU ROM - Support only one SIM. This means that you will no longer have any of the second SIM services.

Vibe X2 - TO/AP ROM - I've no info about them except that they have some trouble acceding 4G with European carriers.

Costume ROMs - those are the once that i'm looking for. If someone can provide me with information about that ROM can i put it'll be superb.

Hope this information help you. And keep us posted.

Most nearly 90% Chinese firmware can be rooted using VROot

Download Vroot to your PC and connect to phone then press the "Root" icon thats it! This installs Chinese Superuser that can easily be replaced by SuperSU and no problems in updating "su" binaries. Dont use Titanium backup to freeze the Chinese Superuser just download SuperSU from playstore and it will ask you "do you want to replace the current Superuser" >>>YES it will complete the installation and then it will ask you to update "su"binaries.

X2 Root

I dont have a real problem rooting because I can make the X2 ROM with busybox. SuperSU and properly symlinked. Just that I dont dont give it priority bcoz I dont own any phone that is less than 6 inch (due to getting used to Tablets 10.1inch, I own a S939 now prior was A880) I have the X2 ROM that I can make pre-rooted easy but what the hell for? I have my hands full Modding S939/S960/S930/S850/S650 all Vibe 2 version together with Tablet A8-5500/A7-3300. But it need to be installed with TWRP (I dont support CWM Recovery) first through dirty quick root method using Vroot and then "update recovery" through MobileUncle Tool

If you have rooted your phone through other methods why dont you just install TWRP/CWM and use SuperSU update.zip to correct any errors in the root? that is what I did after installation of SuperSU in my ROMs and then copy the files structure on other ROM. After that "su" binaries will update successfully everytime!

Guys, I need your help..

I had bought a VIBE X2-CU from china. But in Christmas I got the Moto 2nd Gen as a present, so decided to give the vibe to a friend.

Wanting to remove my data from the phone, I went through the menu to the Setting > Storage > Factory Data Reset menu.

It erased, rebooted and got stuck on the boot screen with strange noises coming out of it.. It seems it erased everything though, because I cannot enter recovery (Vol up+ Vol down+power just vibrates and reboots again).

Drivers were intalled on PC and were working great before Data Reset . Flashtool does not "see" the phone and so does adb. (I think because after erasing, debug mode is not checked).

So, any ideas anyone?
