[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] DeanoD:
With all apparent development at a standstill for all of there great ROMS from the crew here at XDA, I suspect that there are others like me who are having withdrawal symptoms. Dare I say that XDA further spoils us because we reap the benefits of ROM developments A LOT faster here than we would otherwise get from the OEMS. I still cringe when I see an ad for a "new" android device running VERSION 5! Then they put so much effort into the next new devices.

All I can say or offer is my sincere praise for the people here BEHIND the ROMS. But, can anyone PLEASE offer some glimmer of hope that all is not completely dead with our SMP600 just yet. And, if anyone needs testers, I am ready to run with any of the roughest draft ROMS. This one seemed to start with a great starting point and then just stopped. Any news at all? ;-DeanoD

So far I like the ROM it feels solid. I use my tablet for drawing mostly and I'm finding that palm rejection is not working. The apps that I use are Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and Adobe Photoshop sketch. Anyone else seem to be having this issue?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] daxlero:
Yeah, I'm also having the same issue, on stock palm was rejected when the pen was recognized, that doesn't happen here unfortunately. Couldn't get my LeftureNotes app to work no matter what I chose for palm rejection. Otherwise great ROM!

i will test it when i will receive my P2c72 phone from banggood.

gearbest is selling a p2a42 version with 64gb and without band 20. SO I SUPPOSE they are declaring a FALSE information, writing p2a42 because i 've never seen a p2a42 with 64gb !!!

the most important thing to me is to flash resurrection rom.. i love it and i NEED IT
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cjt1984:
Banggood are doing an offer on p2, 172.28 with code lenovop2, in case anybody is interested.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Generic123.:
Does the global version have any extra bands or something? I'm asking because I live in the US, and I'm going to buy one the the china models.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lodd:
Damn, that's really nice. Just tested it out at checkout and can confirm the code still works. I paid 270 for mine, so this is 30% cheaper.

Edit: Just found out that Gearbest is also doing a flash sale. £177, 5 pounds higher, but they have stock and will ship immediately. Banggood is on preorder. If anyone is interested.

As far as I know the main difference is that global has band 20 for 4G. I don't know if your network provider uses that for 4G, you'll have to check. For myself, it doesn't make a difference as I always turn off 4G and use 3G anyway. The other difference is that the global version only has a max 32GB of storage (unless you add an external sd card). Those are the only differences I'm aware of. In my opinion it's worth buying the china version for the extra internal storage.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirty Deeds:
What a great source of useful information here, thanks.

I am looking at buying the P2 64GB C72 Version, I am attracted by the higher memory and much lower price.

I would like to modify to get Band 28 for 700Mhz, one of our 4G bands in Oz.

Can you just confirm, again......, 'once more for the dummies', that access to the extra global bands is the only difference.

And, also that a person with good comprehension and logic skills would be able to perform the modification that you have created.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam00561:
Hi just some info for you i am also quite a fan of the RR rom i have used it on other phones but on the p2 their are a few things that might make you not like it. 1 the earpiece vol is quite low compared to stock rom and becomes annoying after a while. 2 Although fingerprint unlock works fine the fingerprint gestures will not work for going back etc.. and 3 Volte iff you require that does not work either. All of the above bugs are present in all the custom roms available to date for the P2 because i have tried them all and decided to go back to stock deodexed rom on which everything works. Hopefully i will save you some time. As far as the phone goes it is an excellent phone in every aspect.

i received my p2c72 from banggood but the software shows p2a42...... i think they flashed it manually.

[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] celula1928:
I'm waiting for another P2 from Banggood.

If you investigate how to upgrade to version 7.0, please write it.

Maybe they have not flashed the original ROM ROW and what they have done is manipulate the chinese ROM.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] medwatt:
You can either continue trying to get the OTA update or you can download the Nougat ROM and flash the system, boot, recovery images using fastboot.

Try playing a couple of videos from you local storage and from youtube and see if the audio and video are not in sync. If audio/video are in sync, I don't see what you need to bother to get Nougat. Nougat and MM are almost identical from a user's perspective.

[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam00561:
My phone was bought in the Uk at 3 shop with p2a42 international software it is the 32gb variant. I believe you need to first convert the rom to the p2a42 variant their are guides on this forum on how to do that and then u can flash a recovery and root etc.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] medwatt:
Do you want to update to official Nougat or do you want to install custom ROMS ?

1. If you want to install official Nougat, follow this.

2. If you want to run custom ROMs, you need to unlock your bootloader first. This process takes 14 days.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] realista87:
i want a custom rom, ok i will wait 14 days i see the countdown on my phone... but the more risky part is to flash THE RIGHT TWRP for my c72 hardware ( but with a42 software inside). i've read that the twrp here on xda is ONLY for a42......

so what should c72 users flash?

[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AstonDB:
I've ordered my P2 from Gearbest (for 185€) and today upon receiving the unit I got a nice surprise.

As we all know (and is stated on the product page) they are selling the p2c72 with the p2a42 software. They say that it cannot be updated to nougat but that is incorrect.

As soon as the first boot it prompts a OTA upgrade within Marshmallow (S048 to S062) and after rebooting it shows the OTA upgrade to Nougat (S233) and after a quite fast upgrade (90 seconds?) it shows another OTA (this time to s244).

I thought I had to manually do the upgrade https://xdaforums.com/lenovo-p2/how-to/guide-upgrade-p2c72-a42-to-nougat-ver-t3653596 before receiving the phone.

This is without a doubt a p2c72 (stated on the back sticker and the front sticker has plenty of Chinese :) ). Has anyone had this luck before?
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] medwatt:
Almost everyone that buys a c72 comes with a a42 firmware when they buy from Banggood, GearBest, and alibaba.

When did you buy it because I don't see the price at 185€ today?
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AstonDB:
I knew about the a42 firmware (it is stated on the product page).

What was surprising was the OTA upgrade to Nougat.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] medwatt:
Why is it surprising ? It has a42 firmware and that gets OTA updates.

When did you buy it because I don't see the price at 185€ today?
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AstonDB:
Bought it 11 days ago for 219$ (185€ according to my credit card statement)

Can anyone confirm what the rooting procedure is for a p2c72 hardware phone that came supplied from GearBest with p2a42 firmware? Can I flash TWRP 3.1.1-1? Not sure what to do after that as most rooting guides say something like 'only for p2a42' or 'don't use on p2c72'. Thanks.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam00561:
iff the phones firmware reads p2a42 it should rooted as per those instructions because i belive in essence they are the same phone with only minor radio variations.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] pokee2000:
To Mr Lodd

Thanks for your explanation...

a simple note :

Change that line to not le t ppl confusing about it ..

a) If you're lucky, the seller will have changed the ROM for you to p2c72.

Best Regards:good:
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lodd:
You can safely follow the steps in the TWRP guide. Basically you now have to request bootloader unlock, wait 14 days, install TWRP, then install root by flashing the root zip through TWRP. Follow the steps in the TWRP guide for p2a42. You'll be fine.

Yup, exactly. However, it does depend on you using TWRP 3.1.1-0 and above (3.1.1-1 is fine too).

Thanks. I didn't notice that. I've changed it now from "p2c72" to "p2a42".

I've brought p2c72 from GearBest this week, which has already been pre-loaded with p2a42 - Great.

However, I'm a bit paranoid about trusting this kind of involvement in the supply chain. I've downloaded a few tools to try and confirm it's free of spyware, malware and adware but I'm still considering flashing it and starting from scratch myself.

Am I being silly? Would this even remove what I'm worried about? Is there anything else I can check to give me confidence? How will our gang get out of this one? Will you have to tune in next week to find out?

P.S.. Great forum/community. I'm not sure about my P2 but I'm certainly going to flash and update my HTC One.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] pokee2000:
i assume you order it from outside your country....well...if warranty is still valid and your able to ship your product in case something fault...THEN DONT ROOT AND DONT UNLOCK BOOTLOAD ...until your warranty goes

have kaspersky & Malwarebytes Anti-Malware on ur andriod .....keep them for a week running ...if you didnt got any alert ...then the Rom is fine..and dont worry

if your dont care about warranty . .and looking for secure ....then start rooting ur device and go for any other custom ROM here or official stock:cowboy:
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] freezey78:
Thanks. All the security app's haven't detected anything but I'm going to flash it anyway because I'm not too fussed about the warranty.

It's lucky you mentioned official stock because I hadn't really considered this option. I checked the Lenovo site and found a Open Source Code (for Android 7.0, Nougat) - Lenovo P2 (P2a42) download which I assume should work with the P2c72. Maybe I should be looking through this [GUIDE] Upgrade P2C72 (already with a42) to Nougat ver. S233 thread instead.

Changing P2c72 to P2a42

Hello guys, i am happy to add my own contribution to this thread on changing P2c72 to P2a42.

this is how am able to convert my P2c72 to P2a42 then to Stock Nougat without unlocking the bootloader.

Straight to the point...

I downloaded "p2a42_S048.zip" for fastboot flashing. Here: mediafire com/file/mm9b6hlwbaxpdnj/P2a42_S048_161111_ROW_fastboot_Lodd.7z

Also downloaded Lenovo Stock Nougat Rom. Changed it to "update.zip. Here: phonedl. ota.lenovomm. com/dls/v6/P2a42_S062_170117_ROW_TO_P2a42_S232_170320_ROW_WC00AFB1F4.zip

PROCESS......

I extract all files in the SW folder to ADB fastboot folder, put my phone in fastboot mode, connected it to PC, and i just clicked on the Flashball.BAT.

This flashed all the required files on the phone.

After the process is completed, i tried to turn on my phone but it bootloop, stuck on Lenovo logo bootscreen.

So what i then did is that i booted into Recovery mode, wiped everything under the format in recovery.

Wiped data, cashe, and others.

I now put the Nougat stock i downloaded into my external SD CARD, changed the name to "update.zip"

Then i installed it through update in phone recovery, after the installation complete by 100%, it tells me UPDATE FAILED, but on booting my phone, BAM! it works! Android Nougat is fully functioning.

Just like that.

I am posting this in order to help others.

My P2c72 now Runs Nougat 7.0 Stock without unlocking bootloader.

To unlock the bootloader doesnt request for any china phone number after this update, you can request for bootloader unlock normally now.

Am sure this will work for others too.

Hello I have a P2 p2c72 with rom p2a42 bought at gearbest.

I have been using the p2c72 on custom ROMs provided here on XDA but sadly most of them don't function correctly for the device.

I get lots of bugs relating to lockscreen (enable pin and lockscreen causes black display until reboot), ambient display, fingerprint, camera (no video recording) small crashes and more. I was really hoping to get a usable 8 experience on this device but it looks like it's not possible.

I'm sorry Lodd, but the stock ROM file you provided was wrong.

WRONG file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/mm9b6hlwbaxpdnj/P2a42_S048_161111_ROW_fastboot_Lodd.7z

This is the REAL one to change p2c72 to p2a42:

https://mega.nz/#!3hhhhRYC!bDbs1VGHA7s0n-uH-B30fVDsulFRVw-ZbYTvheS9m8I

I've tried it myself and I can confirm it's 100% working.

Steps:

1. Install minimal ADB tool: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

2. Go to "Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number", press it several times to enable Developer Mode

3. In Developer Mode, enable USB Debugging

4. Install "Lenovo USB driver.exe" (Included in the stock ROM file above)

5. Connect Lenovo P2 to your computer with USB cable, allow USB debugging

6. Open command prompt, type "cd C:\adb", press ENTER

7. Then type "adb reboot recovery", press ENTER

8. Phone will reboot and enter recovery mode

9. Run "flashall.bat" in the SW folder of the stock ROM files, wait until it finishes and reboots

10. Now your phone has become p2a42!

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

In TWRP, you need to change the file system format to ext4.

You will lose all data, so make a backup before changing it.

An old thread I know, but what exactly causes the bootloop after installing a custom rom on a p2c72?

I followed the below and my P2c72 boots into the AOSP Pie rom, but when magisk is installed and modifies boot, the next reboot hangs with a blue/white led and no screen.

Fot anyone still remotely interested, here is how to get P2C72 booted with custom roms.

Translated From Russian into English from:

https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?act...posts&sort=rel&subforums=0&query=p2c72&topics[]=801117&forums=583&st=20

aleksgrayvoron @ 21.11.17, 21:30 *

As far as I understood from the experiments with backups, TWRP does not restore the boot. At least on P2c72. Therefore, I do not back it up. When I try to restore, the vibration and the blue diode.

In such a case when the blue diode, then you need to flash the native factory boot through the TV and rut it again, then the system starts without a blue diode.

Does P2c72 with P2a42 firmware have any connectivity issues with custom roms like LineageOS ? Or is it basically the same to P2a42 ?

If the P2c72 already came with P2a42 firmware installed (in my case, the phone build number is P2a42_S251_171107_ROW) that means we don't have to do anything, just treat it as the P2a42, and install P2a42 twrp, rom, etc. right ?

The problem is, the LenovoID is not approved (trying to unlock bootloader), "network connectivity failed", although i'm connected to the internet.

EDIT: Solution was to sit with OP5 technician which flashed my ROM to Oxygen 4.5.1. After this didn't do it, I RMA-ed it and got a new OP5.

EDIT: TL;DR: After updating OP5 to 4.5.5, It doesn't recognizes sim nor wifi, and can't rollback to 4.5.3 that did and stuck on phone setup (needs wifi). ADB devices is empty, I have Google USB Driver from SDK, Windows 10

Hello,

I just got a new OP5 today.

Opened it in the store, came with Oxygen 4.5.3 outta the box.

I putted the sim in, and I connected to the store's wifi, all was good and even had a phone call to my mother to check if the mic and speaker are working well.

Then when I got home, I upgraded the OS to 4.5.5 through the settings, where Android suggested. I'm new to OP and android (moved from iphone 5) and so if there is a right way to do it, and that's not it, I wouldn't have known.

Then, OP5 didn't recognize the sim anymore and couldn't start the wifi (switching it on wouldn't work, it would do nothing), so I tried Factory reset. Unfortunately it didn't reset the OS as well and now I'm stuck outside can't use my sim card or connect to my home wifi to setup the device.

Tried installing OP5 usb drivers (show when connecting the OP5 to PC) and press the power button and lower speaker volume together, then flush the 4.5.3 OS through USB, but it doesn't recognize ZIP folder and when I tried to unzip and send boot image (cmd->"adb sideload boot.img) it started and then failed at 0%.

Please help, the phone right now is unusable.

Tried the Factory reset through settings, but it took so long I thought it was stuck, so I did it through recovery screen.
