[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
Which latest Version are you referring too?

The N-rebased Version?

Maybe it works for you by Booting it only.

Have you tried backing up all partitions?

Try backing up all partitions and let me know if any one them fail during backup.

Userdata in the P2C72 is bigger than in the P2a42 so it might fail while trying to backup.

You can boot TWRP without flashing by using the "boot" command in fastboot instead of the "flash" command.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Wmateria:
Yes the pre-official 3.1.0-3 version completed the LOS 13 install, the official 3.0.3-0 one did not completed the install.. Basically it installed LOS 13 to a certain point but then it freezes and takes me to the boot screen and it stays there.

Tried backing up using all partitions, including Modem, Cache, Recovery, etc.. No errors when backing up.. Even regular backup, no errors either. :good:

Least i can boot to TWRP now by using advance reboot. :svetius:
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Wmateria:
Both backups.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
Thanks for testing on the P2c72!

Just to verify a few things.

Can you post the output off (in adb shell)

cat /proc/partitions

and

for i in /sys/class/block/*/uevent;do grep DEVNAME $i;echo -n '\t';grep PARTNAME $i;echo ----;done

please use https://pastebin.com/ to link the output.

I used p2c72 to execute those commands, which are getting information that I hope to help develop.

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
Thanks both of you.

As I had guessed the only difference is the userdata partition. I'm not sure in what way the userdata size difference would affect users using the P2A42 TWRP for the P2C72 would have.

My guess is flashing userdata images through TWRP would fail due to the size differences.

But userdata is not touched at all by ROMs. So ROMs should be totally fine.

I will try to find out. Maybe there is a way to "unify" TWRP to make it work properly (including userdata size) for both P2 versions. Maybe not, because that approach would break OTA support.

Once I have more time I will look into it.

But as there are only P2a42 ROMs and none for the P2c72. I suggest using the P2a42 TWRP to flash those custom ROMs properly when using the P2c72. As the update.zip's check for the device name which is "P2a42" anyway.

BUT keep in mind. NEVER use the P2a42 fastboot factory flasher for the P2c72!!!

There is a fastboot factory flasher package specifically for the P2c72!

If anyone needs it let me know.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Wmateria:
Would assume that fastboot factory flasher is for anyone to revert to stock. I wouldn't use any stock recovery unless is for certain that is reversible and that it works and that it's posted that it does work. Am happy to flash roms and don't intend to go back. :) :svetius:
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
Yes of course it is.

Just wanted to point that out as the topics thread is about reviving a brick.

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] adhammagdy:
Have you tried lenovo smart assistant?

I used it for p1 when my phone was bricked.. it works the same way as qfil.. open the app.. give it your phone's serial number and hardware id.. it will download the stock clean rom from lenovo.. start in qfil mode.. it will flash with cable..

Only tried it on p1 not tested on p2

---------- Post added at 07:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 AM ----------

Also the problem seems to be your modem got bricked.. if you don't have qcn backup already made with qpst (I always backup qcn before rooting or making any modifications to the phone)

There are ways to restore connectivity by resetting your imei number by modifying a qcn backup with a hex editor.. I saw it briefly on the internet..

I will find the thread that explains it for p1a42 don't know if it will work on p2a42 or not.. and will upload my p2a42 qcn backup..
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] adhammagdy:
Unfortunately couldn't find the video.. it may have been deleted..

Anyway here's my qcn backup file.. but please don't use my imei just change it to yours which is written on the phone package

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] adhammagdy:
It looks like P2 doesn't have qfil or firehose support.. even the smart assistant doesn't support it..

The only way to unbrick the phone is by fastboot..

The method for rebuilding qcn should work.. I've not tested it because I always keep a qcn backup before root

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] adzerrians:
thank you for sharing here friend .. the method you are sharing I have tried, but unfortunately my device is not detected in ADB command / cmd, but in device manager detected as 9008. maybe there is another suggestion? I hope you can share the Qfil rom for lenovo p2, as it seems only that method can save
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Hnk1:
Have you installed correct drivers ?

Secondly it is clearly mentioned in the post that he also had 9008 in device manager.

I suggest install drivers and then remove driver of p2 (I mean delete driver which is detected as currently from my computer properties> device manager ) and then connect device again and refresh .

In other words , install Lenovo software from.post and then Qualcomm and reconnect your device and delete your device driver from device manager and refresh. This helps to install correct drivers.

Or update your drivers from device manager

Good luck and tell me what happens !

Look someone explained it already. Thank him for his contribution !

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] chemeleon:
I'm pretty sure this is because of a third party app I installed - kingo root or an icon pack - but I'm getting ads showing up which is a big red flag for me in terms of device security. I've uninstalled everything I think could be responsible but they're still showing up. What's the best way of figuring out what's responsible for it / removing all traces of the offending app?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Siva Mk:
Look for apps with autostart permissions. Try force stopping a highly likely one.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] chemeleon:
It doesn't look like there are any. If there are, they're disguised as system apps or running as services - at least, that's the best I can come up with without a more in depth knowledge of Android.

The ads are shown once or twice a day and aren't that intrusive, easy to dismiss, but on more than one occasion I've gotten a mobile strike one and an Amazon one.

There's a system app installed called SimLock and other called SimLockSaveLog with permissions to draw over other apps and a suspect mushroom icon. Some others are a bit fishy as well. But I can't be sure. I am probably just going to factory reset, it's just an inconvenience and I'd rather be able to pinpoint the culprit exactly...
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] chemeleon:
Well I factory reset the phone and the SimLock apps are still there, so I guess somebody just has a sense of humour. I'll post again if it continues to occur...
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Siva Mk:
Well the system apps especially critical ones don't push ads. Atleast in my case. It's probably something you installed came with some sort of adware
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] 701:
You need to reset your Ads ID, that's the one spewing ads. Check out the Google section, it's there I think.

NEW stupid QUESTION

eheheh...excuse me ...another question...

what will happen if i restore a spreite backup (full backup every option checked) in a cooked rom??

I mean...i think some reg keys are not the same..some other does not exist enymore and there will be others that in prevoius rom weren't.

So what will happen...with custumizations,configs, installe progz and other settings?? Probably what you will get is an unstable and unpredictable state of the SP???
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Exactly :D You can restore from a previous version of a cooked rom to another (and still some little things could be wrong..) but I wouldn't do it from an official to a cooked one. Too many fixes to be done after flashing I think. It would be even less annoying to reinstall everything on your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Wizard Prang:
I have a bunch of questions

What has gone before:

Droid X2 (rooted)

Galaxy S3 (Rooted and tethered)

Galaxy S4 (Rooted and tethered with Stang5liter's excellent ROM)

I'm sure you are beginning to see a pattern here..!

The Story So Far:

I just got hold of a Galaxy S7, G930V, (Yes, it's Verizon). Build is VVRUBQC5 (Nougat). Naturally I have rooted it (using the "Eng-Root kernel and ROOT.BAT" method). So far so good. The only thing missing is tethering. I am grandfathered into the old Verizon Unlimited plan, and want to get tethering working (which it currently isn't), From the research that I have done, tethering is difficult under Nougat, but if there is a way to get it working, that would be great. Debloating and enhancing performance would also be great, but stock rooted with tethering is adequate for my needs.

Options:

Stick with Nougat Rooted Stock, sort out tethering and de-bloat/tune as necessary

Downgrade to MarshMallow and install a tried-and-true debloated ROM such as Stang5liter or the S7 flat ROM.

Questions:

What benefits does Nougat give over MM? What do I lose if I downgrade?

I see that G930VVZW4BQC9 is available. If I take the OTA, I will lose root. Is it still rootable using the Eng-Root method, or have Big Red found a way to prevent that? IOW, has anyone succeeded in rooting G930VVZW4BQC9?

Are there any problems or restrictions on downgrading to an earlier version of Android? When I try using ODIN to flash an earlier version (PE1), I get a "Fused 4 > Binary 2" message.

Dear all,

I'm using Note 10.1 2014 SM P607T, stock rom 5.1.1, rooted.

The device works perfectly except for one point: when I create an action memo and pin it to home screen as a widget, it disappears from home screen after a while, or when I use other apps, sometimes after reboot. This is quite annoying because I use action memo a lot for my work, therefore I want to save all memos in home screen to easily manage them.

Is there a solution to fix this? Thanks a lot.

Ps: I only want to use action memo because it is synced well with s pen and s note, I tried other widget note apps but not happy with them.

This is the continuation of Neked-Nook but for Nougat. This should work with ALL S2's. So may I present to you for your flashing pleasure....

Neked_Maker_ROM

This is NOT A FULL ROM. This will modify your existing STOCK ROM. So DO NOT wipe /system in TWRP!!!!​

You Flash this at your own risk!!!!! I am not responsible if your Tab breaks!!!!

MAKE A BACKUP IN TWRP FIRST!!!!!!

Snapdragon S2 Owners. Please read post #2 to confirm your mount points

ONLY FOR V1 AND V2!!!!​

Features:

Based on T710XXU2DRB1 - for V3 ONLY FOR 2015 EXYNOS S'2s

Based on T710XXU2DQCL - But SHOULD work for ALL S2's

DO NOT FLASH V1 THEN V2!!!! FLASH ONE OR THE OTHER - These zips modify your build.prop so you will end up with extra lines in it.

All S2's

V1 will remove Google apps - Drive, Gmail2, GoogleTTS, Hangouts, Maps, Music2, Photos, Videos, Youtube - These are all downloadable

V2 will remove almost ALL Bloat - as above plus Microsoft, Samsung, stuff - you can look at the updater script to see specifics.

2015 Exynos S2's 2DRB1 ONLY

V3 removes as much as possible to make room for DualbootPatcher installed in /system and still keep all functionality

Wifi fix - thanks to [MENTION=494193]Ather[/MENTION] V3 modifies it more for All regions

Smart view fix so you can watch tab on TV

Probably a couple other things.

Install:

You MUST ODIN N FIRST if you want to use this!!! (May work for "M" also) For V3, you must Odin 2DRB1

MAKE A BACKUP SECOND!!!!!

DO NOT TAKE ANY PLAYSTORE UPDATES

*If you wanna be lazy, you MAY be able to use this without Odin'ing first. But the apps will still be there in data. Which you SHOULD be able to uninstall. *No promises this way will work properly though. :p

This is NOT A FULL ROM. So DO NOT wipe /system in TWRP!!!

Flash Maker in TWRP

(Everything is automatic but wiping cache and dalvic can't hurt)

Profit!!

Possible bugs

DO NOT FLASH V1 THEN V2!!!! FLASH ONE OR THE OTHER - These zips modify your build.prop so you will end up with extra lines in it

V3 is for 2DRB1 ONLY!!! 2015 EXYNOS S2's

You should have went with V2. Everything extra is gone. You could still flash V2, but there would be extra repeated lines in the build.prop that should be edited out.
