If I root phone with kingroot I have to flash stock again again .pls anyone help me with it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
To keep it small, the OTA update consists of patch files, each of which contains only the differences between the old file and the new file.

That is why it cannot be applied to modified files. So you have to have an unmodified /system partition, that's why the update from Lenovo verifies the checksums for all the files before updating anything.

When rooting, some files in the /system partition are modified. So you need to get the system back to it's original state before applying the update.

It seems SuperSU does a better job at removing itself, someone reported they could apply the update from 256 to 257 after removing SuperSU.

If you have TWRP and removed SuperSU, you may use the attached modified update file, which I made based on the original update from Lenovo. It doesn't check the build fingerprint, which is not the same in TWRP, also doesn't check or update the /system/recovery-from-boot.p file.

Later, I may also post the full 259 ROM, which you can flash either with TWRP, or Sp Flash Tool.

But keep in mind all this depends on someone else doing the hard work for you for each update, which they may, or may not choose to do.

The only way of doing it yourself is flashing an unmodified system/recovery each time. That's the price you have to pay for rooting, so stop complaining.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pavansk:
Hey guys after using the new cm12.1 for around 6 hours it is found that hotspot doesn't work along with GPS but now another bug found is microphone is also not working and says its not installed so any way to fix it. I was searching around in Google about it but ended up with no solution.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
I now remember someone at the 4pda forum was also complaining that the microphone only works for calls.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Luan Dang:
This bug has already appeared in most of the CM 12.1 versions porting for Lenovo a2010.I tried out many of the CM 12.1 custom roms for this smartphone and Of course,most of them have this bug.I created a post to notify about this bug but There aren't any fixes for it.Moreover,Playing multimedia contents online doesn't work in all browsers (It is always a black screen).I attribute to Android System Webview but not.I hope that this bugs could be fixed as soon as possible.(Sorry for my bad English,I'm not a native English speaker).Thanks for viewing my opinion very much!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
That's logo.bin from any stock ROM.

You can experiment by replacing that file with another logo.bin of the same size and flash it with SP Flash Tool.

Even if it's not compatible you won't brick your phone, the worst that could happen is you'll see a corrupted logo when booting.

It seems someone even made a program for changing the boot logo:

[MENTION=5911942]W60[/MENTION] plz give me the link for the blueboo ROM for its imei write feature . and is the imei write app is transferable to other phones as I want to write imei on my another mobile
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx7EoAbKkz05ZDJqRG1lUkdYN0E

I think you need to install that by using the Restore function in TWRP.

Like I said, I didn't try that ROM yet, but when I played with the Blueboo ROM myself I noticed that app.

You have to make a shortcut for it (for example with AnyCut), otherwise it is hidden.

I tried installing that app in other ROMs, but it wouldn't run.

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 AM ----------

Oh,It depends on your interest.There are many custom roms to choose.In my opinion,I will choose Stock Rom because It works pretty well and It is also easy to use,although this rom doesn't have many extra features.Anyway It's your own!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
Well, you could try learning Russian. I did that, it's not so hard. :)

Until then, I made an account there for you, details in PM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
If you want the fully functional ROM with no bugs, you can go with the stock ROM. However if you want the Custom ROM then the Cubot ROM is the best as it has minimum bugs and good battery backup. As for the other ROMs they contain some useless features(Somatosensory, Smart Wake, Fingerprint for example) which won't run on our device. There are only two ROMs till now which can be said to be AOSP and those are Cubot and Oukitel ROM(AOSP one). Both the ROMs are suitable for daily purpose. But the AOSP ROM has a bug in which the status bar does not change color in order to match the app color(the status bar remains black on on Facebook instead of blue one for example). So, either go with the stock or with the Cubot one.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
See for example http://www.kimovil.com/en/list-smartphones-by-processor/mediatek-mt6735m

Unfortunately it doesn't say there which ROMs are 32-bit and which are 64-bit, as you can only port 32-bit ROMs, since when porting you must take some libs from the stock ROM, which is 32-bit.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] surajsj:
All those Phones r Same chipset right??? I can take custom rom from them n port to our device
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
You can take either custom or stock ROMs, if they work on a phone with the same chipset, but only 32-bit Lollipop ROMs.

This fix is for microphone,bluetooth headset,hotspot bugs ( as seen in updater script file). I don't try it out because I don't want to reflash Stock rom (very time-consuming).

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
If you look in the updater-script file, there's an error in one line:

How to decide it's 32 bit os bro
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
In most cases you can only tell for sure by mounting the system image and looking at the folders there. If there's a folder lib64, then it's a 64-bit system, if there's only lib, it's 32-bit.

In practice, if a phone has only 1GB of RAM, it's more likely they made a 32-bit system for it, as the 64-bit system needs more RAM to run properly.

Also, I noticed that 64-bit ROMs seem to have a somewhat bigger kernel (boot.img), so if the kernel of a ROM is about the same size as our stock kernel, it's likely that it's a 32-bit ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] surajsj:

I can no longer access TWRP from the bootloader (it shows an image with an android laying down and with it's front panel open, under that image there's a line saying "no command") after updating to the latest version of the stock ROM.

I can't get the SP tool to give out an detailed output of the error, as when I press Ctrl+Shift+T as the error message prompts me, it doesn't show anything, and the log files it says it outputs can't be found anywhere on my PC...

Stock ROM Lenovo A2010 (S259)

https://yadi.sk/d/ZzwiUkXeqtQaP

This can be installed with SP Flash Tool (unzip in PC, open Flash Tool, select scatter file, flash).

But you can also flash the zip file with TWRP (copy file to phone memory, reboot to recovery, flash zip).

The only partitions flashed through TWRP are boot, system and tee1.

You can also flash only these partitions through SP Flash Tool, if you don't want to lose your programs.

If you want the S259 stock recovery, you can additionally flash that partition too.

Other than boot. recovery, system and tee1, there's no change in other partitions compared to previous versions of the stock ROM.

...

If you have S257 (no changes in system partition, including no root), but installed custom recovery, you can upgrade to S259 by using the attached zip file

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
No errors here.

You can also see which partitions I flashed.

In order to keep your programs, don't flash userdata.

The preloader partition is something you'd better never flash.

Also, there's no point flashing some other partitions that didn't change.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
No. If you install over another version of the stock ROM, there's no need to wipe data.

The script in the zip file doesn't wipe data either.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W60:
If you installed TWRP 3.0.0.0, you'd better flash it in TWRP.

After that, when you reboot, TWRP will see the system is not rooted, and offer to root it. You just thave to agree.

It's as simple as that.
