Lenovo A806 Root

Hi,

I am a complete Novice, and bought this phone over 6 months ago, but lack of GAPPS and trying to get it on, I gave up, my wifes phone has busted, cracked screen, and since I have this phone I would really like to flash, preferably with a bloat free rom, for her to use. It came from China, and was in chinese, struggled, and literally thought it was a pain, and I aint so savvy on the root side.

I have downloaded numerous roms from Need Rom site, a MIUI one, and a Vibe UI one.

Am I correct in thinking that if I download a Vibe UI v2 rom, and since the phone comes with Vibe, I can run as update.zip (boot with power vol + & -)?

I have downloaded SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1344.0.212 & SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1348.002 (think they came with the roms) but failed to flash as no scatter file included, so very very confused.

I followed Peter Merkoff page, I can’t seem to download files linked inthe tutorial? Can I use SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1344.0.212 & SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1348.002?

Anyone able to link me, a guide even where the download links all work without downloaded crappy download engines, just to download and needrom has loads I have downloaded, but I have got stuck on the SP flash tool.

Sorry for the multiple questions.

Any help appreciated.

go to need rom

Hi , go to need rom register there and download the official version of vibe 2 rom for the device then place the "update.zip " file on the sd card power off your phone and press the button power and vol down at the same time , from there you'll have the option to update the rom that will give you a full English system but without the google apps , you can try instead 1mobile market.

I have installed miui 7 on my lenovo a806 and then I've succesfully installed it.But when I reboot the phone all the apps are starting to crash.I want to format it using CWM but it doesn't want to format.It says formating data something like that and then stop.And now the phone doesn't boot up but when I connect it to my laptop it detect the phone.But the phone doesn't give any respond.What happened???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlie2016:
I tried miui as well and had similar issues , what you can do is : go to needrom.com , download the official version of vibe 2.0 again place it , in your sd , then place your sd back to the phone , and press volume up and down , with power key as well at the same time from there install the stock rom again and reboot , I've tried some other unofficial version on this devices but they all give issues at the end.

I've used many other roms, including Vp3Gs' and lvsw, but the "BLACK" roms are the only ones that enable me to log into my Wells Fargo because all other go to the page where it says that the IE is not compatible... is there any reason this happens? is there any ways to fix this on other roms?.. thanks

I second this. You change that string and you can do the same on any ROM.

there was/is a app out there that basicly hides the fact that you are using a phone to acces the web i think it was tweak lite??? this was from a while back in the wm2003 days so i am not sure it is still around.

i stopped using my phone for heavy web browsing a while back and lost the cab for it. seemed like all it was is a reg hack.

maybe you can get one of the fantastic cooks around here to slap one together.

or buy opera i hear that it also does the same thing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mb:
Buy Opera

If you get the paid for version of Opera, you can change it to identify itself as the "Desktop Version". This works well for me on the UK's National Rail website, which insists on giving me the rubbish cut-down version.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] a7xsoad:
Well I've tried the desktop association with Opera, but I still can't access my online account with Wellsfargo because it is not a supported browser... I tried the user agent hack from WM5, but it won't work with WM6.. anyone out there... JJ? care to enlighten?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Puckster:
Changing the PIE User Agent is not as simple as a regedit anymore. The later builds of WM5 and all WM6 builds have the User Agent hard coded into the browser.dll in the \Windows folder. The User Agent string in the registry is now only for OEM's / Telco's to add any specific customisations.

The only way to edit the full User Agent string is to hex edit the browser.dll. If you search across all the Hermes forums (not just Wm6) there are numerous posts covering the topic.

Cheers

EDIT: Thanks for the below update PAPPL, seems my info was a bit out of date ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Deleted member 384713:
Download "Schaps Advanced Configuration 0.9" here at xda-devs.

There you can simply change the User Agent in a User Interface!

The new WM6 Builds do have a UserAgent registrykey again. It's called "CustomBase"

Schaps Tool replaces this string.

browser.dll doesn't need to be hexedited anymore for WM6!

Only WM5 Aku3.x+ needs hexediting!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] a7xsoad:
Thanks.. PAPPL.. I'm using schaps rom and have just been living with the fact that I can't do it..

Would I just have to change where it says Mozilla/4.0 to MSIE 6.0?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] a7xsoad:
sry, but I browsed around and that all that had to be done with the registry but it doesn't seem to work with the advanced config tool... maybe I need to change the whole string to something else?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
So the "custombase" is a reg key? Where?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ibanyard:
Jas - if you're still crusing by here... this would be a useful customisation in your Pimp toolset....

WM5 (max. AKU2.3): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent] Default="Your Useragent String"

WM6: [HKLM\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent] Custombase="Your Useragent String"

http://www.fiddlertool.com/useragent.aspx

Your string is shown in IE/PIE (User Agent:...)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
Thanks, I have been using a really old browser.dll to get CV to work guess I can stop doing that now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] e_gregious:
Still doesn't work properly

I've done the registry change in CustomBase, but it still doesn't fix the problem

Useragentstring.com still reports my browser as Windows CE and I still get the WAP crap on some sites.

Using Opera set to "Desktop" fixes it, although Opera has other compatibility issues -and it's not compatible with my wallet. :eek:

WM6 is obviously still reading either the "Platform" setting in the WM5 key area, or it's doing something else equally creative.

I think the browser.dll hack is the only thing that is going to fix it, at this stage, anyway.

Anyone with any other ideas?

Many Custom roms don't include Google Apps/GApps (playstore...)

Sometimes Dev posts a link to preferred GApps version.

For the XT910/XT912 I suggest installing a Minimal Gapps because of the smaller System size and lower memory compared to newer devices, like pa_gapps-modular-nano...

Be sure to install a GApps Version that matched Android version of Custom Rom.

See sd_shadow's Collection of GApps Links

Install Gapps zip after installing rom

Trying to learn but stuck....

Hi, I have a Verizon RAZR XT912 at Android 4.1.2. I am new and trying to learn how to do this so forgive my ignorance. My TWRP program has no "Boot Option". The main screen has (Install, Backup, Restore, TWRP Install, Settings, Reboot, Support, About). I have done back-up and it took a few times before it seemed to go into a backup mode and it said it created a backup. I tried to install CM12 and found it in my "SDcard1" , then selected the .zip file by checking the box. Then I got the warning "are you sure you want to reboot to recovery and complete the specified actions?" I click OK but nothing ever happens. It took Kingroot several attempt to finally root the phone but RootCheck says it is rooted. I am kind of lost because the apps are not working the way I have been reading and even the program screen shots are different than what I am seeing.

Hi,

The image files from the safestrap rom slot folders ... viz ... cache, system and userdata .img files are as good as the twrp rom backup files ?

further merely replacing this old userdata.img into a freshly setup rom slot will work just as good ?

I have backed up my kitkat virtual ROM slot folder, and i am setting up a lollipop ROM anew, would be great if i could just replace the new userdata.img with the one i have saved from my previous kitkat ROM.

Hi all, I've got a stock i9505, rooted, with Philz Touch recovery & Lollipop (I9505XXUHOB7_I9505BTUHOB4_BTU).

I made a (no errors reported) backup & loaded up Resurection Remix ROM (Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.3-20150804-jfltexx) and GApps (gapps-lp-20141109-signed) and all seemed OK.

I then decided to go back to Lollipop & thats when things started falling apart - I did what seemed a successful restore from the backup but when it rebooted, it initially gave the error 'Inconsistent System UID' and about fixing permissions so I flashed TWRP & fixed permissions & went back to Pilz & tried another restore but ever since, it went into a boot loop (I think - I'm a bit new at this) at the point where the Samsung logo is still up & the stars are pinging out. Never moves on from this.

I then thought I'd take it back to stock & re-flashed Lollipop, did the root & reloaded Philz Touch & tried another restore - same thing.

I then tried CWM to see if that would do a decent restore but still no joy.

I wonder if my backup has been corrupted?

I can get it up & running but I'd like to be able to access all my backed up data etc.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to to a custom restore (in Philz) as I'm not sure what to restore & what to leave!

Can anyone help?
