Go to my post Rooting tutorial for KitKat and flash custom recovery TWRP!

After flashing TWRP go to my post How about some modems!

Download all modem for KitKat and upload them in your phone!

Reboot to recovery and flash one modem !

Reboot and check the signal!

If the signal is no good repeat the procedure !

Good Luck!
[Lenovo P780] nassosbu:
thanx a lot stympy! the modem_P780_V101_Life_Vibe did the trick. not the Modem_P780_v.24_S228 which supposed to work.

The only way I could root was with the iRoot tool.

I would like to learn why my ROM does not allow to flash other roms with flash tool. It was a Stock ROM I guess.

If I flash it from TWRP with a rom that can be flashed with TWRP will I brick my phone? I have P780_s221_LiFe_XVIBE_v09 for example that I tried it before the 226 stock rom and it was working.

I have the IMEI Backed up with mobileuncle. Is that enough if something goes complete wrong so I dont have to total recover the phone?

Anyway, I dont want to tire you with many questions. It is that they are so many articles and it is confusing, and most of them are not working as someone would expect.

Thanx again
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Look what you have to do:

Because you allready have TWRP installed do a full backup. For full backup you need to have an SD Card.

After backup you can flash with TWRP all roms that you want ! be careful that your rom, that you wish to flash must be KitKat! ar your phone get softbrick. That is no problem because you can restore your backup made with TWRP.

Good Luck!
[Lenovo P780] nassosbu:
Dear stympy. I need more of your help. I can not flash even the one ROM I want. I have TWRP and I am trying to flash the VIBEUI_V2.0_1507 which the need rom guide says that it should be installed through TWRP. Unfortunately I get an error that "this package is for a P780 devices; this is "p780_ROW".

My phone must be CN cause the text on the battery are in Chinese. Am I right?

Can I flash VIBEUI ROM Over a ROW?

i saw in a thread that you have Life_07. Do you recommended?

If you would like to suggest me a ROM that you think is better and how to flash it ( I remind you that I have S228 ROW now) I would really appreciated.

Thanx again man!
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Indeed your phone is made in china, like all P780.

You have installed ROW firmware, witch is one stable OS and latest KitKat for ROW OS.

If you want to get back to chinese firmware KitKat, you could try Baralajbi firmware from NeedRom site. It is a moded firmware, based on latest stable VIBEIU 2.0, i tested and is pretty good.

For old Jelly Bean, Life 0.7 is my favorite.

All this firmware that i told you about is flashing with SP Flash Tool.

Good luck.

[Lenovo P780] nassosbu:
All of my problems with flashing the ROMs fixed with the SP Flash tool v5. I don't know why everyone suggests v3. In my case after a dead end and a bricked phone, having errors with v3, when I used v5 I could flash anything I like, recovery, rom, stock, custom and all of my problems were solved.

For anyone who is Interested the CN ROMs where better than ROW. With ROW I had problems with modem, sound, even light sensor. With a custom CN ROM by VDT everything worked perfect and light.

cheers!

Problems with mobile data / background processes

Just a question for you p780 owners,

i have the problem that some times mobile data just stop working. it still shows hsdpa but no data flow, only mobile data disable / enable solves the problem.

i´m using life 1.3.3 on the "old" CN 4gb, upgraded to 228 from 226 step by step the russian way (russian orig.) files, and using "modem by xakep"

have data sim card in slot 1, and a second for calls in slot 2

Network mostly used is umts in germany.

maybe someone has a little recommondation maybe for other modem files

another point is application in background isn´t working until screen is ticked on (using LLAMA Location based Profiles).

(having both "problems" throughout different roms from past (life 0.5 to now 1.3.3)

[Lenovo P780] VoodooBiscuit:
Hello,

I recently switched to kitkat but after flashing I realised that the stock rom has too much bloatware and was practically very annoying to use (I'm looking at you, Norton and LeSave.

Now here's my problem:

I can't flash anything anymore using flashtool, it detects my phone, loads one file, but then goes down to 0bytes/0bps and it keeps hanging there untill I get an error. I tried to get a workaround by rooting and installing TWRP it but nothing works, it refuses to root.

Can anyone help me? I don't know what I did wrong and I'm afraid I messed up my partitions or something.

I just want to go back to Jellybean with a clean rom, no bloatware, preferrably rooted.

Thanks in advance,

Biscuit

Errors I get:

''BROM ERROR: S_FT_READBACK_FAIL (4009)''

Google didn't get me any further ):
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerflash:
I am wondering if anyone else is seeing this.

Since the update it would seem like the phone's cellular radio is using more battery then before. Standby time has really fallen now.

I will keep monitoring this but it really seems to be the case. This was an update to my USA spec z3c but i may try another firmware as long as i dont have to wipe data between.

let me know guys

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbbjason:
On the back housing, not the battery door, but the back housing of the S5 There are small indentations near the bottom. One of them has either a "V" for Verizon or a "P" for Sprint. I was told these were specific to the phone because of LDS antennas inside the plastic and could not be swapped with each other. My question, to anyone who knows more about this, are these antennas specific to the frequencies these phones use, or (what i believe) are they just simple conductors inside the plastic and the frequencies are determined by the hardware? Like i said, I was told i cannot swap the Verizon (V) housing for a Sprint (P) housing because the antennas (LDS antennas inside the plastic) were not the same and therefore did not operate on the same frequencies. But then I'd have to wonder, if the phone was unlocked how would it be able to then operate on another frequency without swapping the housings each time. If someone knows more about this (even whether or not these antennas in the plastic even exist) please help me out. And if you have sources please include those so I can read into this as well. Thank you.

Hello, I have a big problem with the phone. It's no turning on after trying to flash.

I can see it as MTK USB Port (ComX), but there is no way to flash it again because of "enable dram failed (4032)" in FlashTool.

How to fix it?
[Lenovo P780] Manek88:
Remove the back cover and connect your phone with the pc through data cable and kept pressing the red button for 10 secs which is near the sd card slot and release it. It will vibrate and lit up after 2-3 secs then remove the cable and start it.
[Lenovo P780] pawelb93:
It doesn't work. No vibration at all.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Prepare the rom to flash, then press firmware ugrade, plug your usb cable, keep pressed the red button for 20 secconds to reset preloader and tell us what is going on ?
[Lenovo P780] Manek88:
Now, I am also having the same problem. I followed your instruction but persist the same error DRAM FAILED 4032 and also I dont have any nandroid backup. Whether it will be related to preloader issue ?
[Lenovo P780] d8v8n8:
Hi pawelb93 and Manek88,

+1

I'm having the same problem as well. I was using this tuto and all went fine because I got the big green circle of success from Flash tool. Then I unplugged my phone and it hasn't booted since. It was :crying: a 4GB international version with Jelly Bean 4.2.
[Lenovo P780] Manek88:
My problem has been solved.

Hii d8v8n8 have you tried pressing the red button by plugging to pc ??

If you have a 4032 dram problem you need to format whole drive using sp flash tool and install a fresh stock rom.
[Lenovo P780] d8v8n8:
Hi Manek88,

Yup, I pressed and pressed the red button, once even for a full minute without a break but to no avail.

However and fortunately from another poster, stympy, I got the suggestion that it might be a driver problem. For the unfortunate user, please click on the embedded links for the steps it took me to get things sorted out.

I wish sincerely for the wary who landed here to be able to solve his or her issue with our trials and errors posted here. Thank you all.

Club of anonymous brickers

Hi, I just wanted to leave a comment about how I unbricked my Chineese p780 4Gb. Maybe useful to somebody.

Flashed the wrong ROM, got the brick, the only sign of life was a red LED when connecting to USB. After the second flashing got the same DRAM_FAIL (4032) error. Finally, after finding the right ROM I got phone's screen blinking for a second, but still not loading and not functioning.

So, after some experiments I found out that fresh driver/tools versions do matter a lot and I managed to flash the same needed ROM with fresher tools.

Setup (can't post links, I downloaded these from lenovo-forums dot ru):

- driver SP_Flash_Tool_Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00

- SP_Flash_TOOLS v5.1352.01

- very nice light and functional ROM LiFe v0.7 with modified preloader

- alternative modem V51 S820

Good luck!

2. Don't plug the cable o your phone.

3. Now comes the tricky part...

4. After the scatter file is loaded and firmware upgrade is set, press the download button.

5. Now with the volume down pressed plug the USB cable on your phone. In this moment sp flash tool should look for your phone and flashing procedure should start.

6. If step 5 don't work try the same procedure with the volume up and volume down pressed.

7. Good luck.

I am curious if your phone have MT6572 chipset. Almost all are for MT6572 chipset.

Try those too.

This are the last I could manage.

I told you we are looking in the wrong direction!

I have uploaded the filed for your phone!

It is one Micromax product with MT6582.

This firmware is specialy for your phone!

Try to use SP Flash Tool uploaded there. I recommend to use first SP Flash v3. Sometimes works better then v5.

Some archives will get error, dont worry. Password for some of the archives are: androidflashfile.com

Uploading the files as we are speaking.

Good luck and waiting for feedback!

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
I have had the N5 since last November and I love the phone but it looks like Google will not be releasing a phone with this screen size anytime soon. Would like the features that the Moto X has with regards to waking the phone and a few other tweaks that they do.

I have a code from cyber Monday so it would cost $400 today, which is a great price compared to the Nexus 6 and other devices. Do I need a new phone? No, but I would like a new one to play around with for the next year until something better comes along.

The only thing it looks like I would really miss is the wireless charging.

So, for those of you who have come from the N5, was it the right choice?

Thanks
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sluflyer06:
I thought it was going to be mostly a sidegrade with a couple bonus features and it ended up feeling like a reasonable UPgrade. The build is far nicer and more robust feeling, the curved glass on front that wraps around the edges feels infinetly nicer on your face. The moto display is just as awesome as I thought it would be, battery life is much better. The speaker for ringing/media is WORLDS AND WORLDS better, louder, clearer, deeper.

I think its well worth it, add to that, I sold my 5 for $260 (16GB black)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nithin1992:
The camera is barely an improvement. Everything else is a pretty significant improvement here even though the specs dont show much, go ahead, it will be money well spent! The nexus 6 is just too big and too expensive!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I have both. The N5 is still an amazing phone but the Moto X is in a class all its own. It's a definite upgrade and well worth every penny, ESPECIALLY with the cyber Monday discount.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slosrtnick:
I traded my wifes N5 for a Moto X 2014 and i think it is a substantial upgrade. I benchmarked it even though it is an att phone with all of the att bloat and it still did 44000 antutu, whereas my N5 best score fully rom'd and custom kernel and everything only got 41750. I know some people think benchmarks are useless, but i like seeing higher scores from phones that have better specs.

I honestly think the camera on the x is not as good. I miss hdr+ and think the ois on the nexus is better, despite being a lower mp. The moto does feel better in hand to me and i didnt know how much i would love the dimple on the back. Its great to have to stabilize the phone with one hand.

Overall, the price is right, you can sell your N5 (i sold my n5 for $250 locally), and you are more up to date with the new phones out there.

Just my opinion.

Nick
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
I was hoping the camera would be just as good or a little better than on the N5, one person says that it is and another says it is not. Of course I know this is all subjective and I will be the only person who can determine this. I wish the camera was definitely better and not so close in quality.

Looks like I am just going to go ahead and order the Moto X, I will keep the N5 for a little bit just in case I don't like it and then I will try and sell it.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblawsum:
I honestly feel like the Nexus 5 is a bit snappier plus the camera on my Moto x doesn't seem to focus easily. I still think it's worth the upgrade though due to the build quality and the extras like active display etc. I always felt like I was going to break my nexus 5 at any moment

I remember I used to love the AMOLED display on my old Moto x but I'm having a little trouble getting used to it again. I know that's just temporary though and eventually it will be vice versa. Just some things to consider though
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
There is no way the N5 is snappier than the Moto X. I use both phones daily and when side by side the Moto X is noticeably faster and more responsive than the N5. I'm running stock KitKat on both devices.

I do agree that the camera on the Moto X leaves a bit to be desired but for my needs it's just fine. I do think it is a little better than the N5's camera but not by much. Both cameras are capable of producing some really nice shots, it just seems that conditions have to be just right in order to do so.

And yeah, the screen does take some getting used to. Both my N5 and my iPhone 6 have near perfect color calibration so whenever I pick up the Moto X it always looks excessively warm to me. But I'm using CF.Lumen to fix it so mine is a LOT better now. The Moto X does have waaaay better viewing angles than the N5 though so it's a trade off.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
I was very torn about spending the money but made a very last minute decision to buy the moto x last night before the coupon expired. It is going to be a fairly expensive toy/experiment to play around with at first to see if I like it better than the N5, but I am looking forward to it. I figure I can sell either one to make some money back in the end.

I also decided to get it engraved with "pure X moto", I may regret this later but I liked it at the time. doh!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
If you can afford it, I'd hang on to both phones, that's what I'm doing. I feel like the N5 is going to be a highly coveted phone a couple years from now, it's easily the best Nexus phone so far (yes, even better than the N6 IMO). Plus, if you are a fan of flashing custom ROMs and the like, you'll need the N5 for that because it's highly unlikely that the X will see much development.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nithin1992:
Very true, the Moto X is easily the snappier of the two, and is probably the snappiest phone on the market right now. The problem with the camera seems to be with the focus, especially with a foreground and a background subject or macro shots, it struggles to focus correctly. I'm still hoping Motorola to bring some sort of worthy software upgrade to the camera now that lollipop allows more control over the camera hardware. With flash though, the Moto X does seem to perform better than the N5 almost every time. Overall, it seems to be on par with the N5 or a little bit better than the N5, but yes, we all wish that the camera was a little more better!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblawsum:
I still have my Nexus 5 and use it from time to time, there is definitely some noticeable stuttering in some apps that I've never experienced on the Nexus 5. I know certain apps are a bad comparison, the Facebook app for example, however I still have never experienced any lag, ever on the Nexus.

Nexus 5 has the stock lollipop image and my Moto was updated to lollipop immediately after powering it on. Maybe it's due to the OTA update
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRX120:
I love the new moto x. Just got it a couple weeks ago to replace my 5 and it's better in every way. I've always had nexus phones and shunned away from other customised android phones but the features Motorola adds in are actually useful and have a real world use unlike all the crap on galaxy phoned.
