[Lenovo A850] anklesnakim:
did u try this already? is all firmware will work on this? if not, what firmware we need to use in order to flash cm13? thanks :D
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
Yes I am already using it, well not daily since its not my main phone. Flashtool is included so it doesn't mater what rom you already have (ROW or CN), you just flash it. I think the ROM is CN though. Additionally, i have tried installing Magisk or SuperSu without a success because CM13 is already rooted. I couldn't change it. What is more, lattest Xposed libraried are not working too (phone freezes and reboots on apk open). Also, i couldn't get into recovery using volume and power button, i am accessing it through the power menu (reboot into recovery). To conclude, when I am in the recovery and I choose to reboot into system the phone closed but I have to unplug the batery and reboot it.
[Lenovo A850] falaschi:
how about battery life?
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
I'm also using it (also not my daily device) and overall seems to work no major issues at the moment. I'm happy with the default root and options so I have no conflict with magisk/xposed. I just use the root to remove bloatware and to "tabletize" the phone (freeze sms/telephone/mobile data functions, but can be unfreezed if I need phone functions back again)

I have flashed gapps (pico/customized) version and there is FC if you replace stock clock and messenger with gapps version.

Also battery, this phone without network and screen working (and several apks) disables use to work for some days. Now the battery goes off in 1 day, even if not using. I will try to troubleshoot the culprit.

In lenovo's firmware it had an auto power on-off function that dissapears on this new rom.
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
Just some further investigation on this rom:

IMEIs are gone, and I am unable to restore them with the typical methods. I will keep on trying

It seems that the battery is drained by "Cell standby" (phone contacting telephony antennas) which is weird, because it has no sim, it's on airplane mode and I have frozen all apks related to phone/mobile data. But looking at the log and at the battery statistics, it's trying to do something with cell data. Also if I go to Phone test and try to "turn radio off", it ignores the click on the button.

I'll try a couple more things but my feeling is that something is wrong on the data system that is linked to the battery drain.

By the way, I have read on the russian forum (source of this post) that cm12 seems to work ok, but I don't want to go to an older version. I'll keep it as a last resource.
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
I do not have problems with the battery. DO NOT INSTALL GRENIFY, you will get into bootloop. You can fix the IMEI with Tool Hero (the update of MobileUncle). CM12 didn't work for me but there seems to be more users there...
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
I have tried all the common ways to restore IMEI: Hero, Mtk Droid tools, flashable zips (with/without nvram clear), imei generator and replacing files, changing permissions on /data/nvram, dd from a backup nvram.bin... nothing seems to work. I'm considering reflashing full rom again, just in case something went wrong during flashing.

I have also found a flashable modem firmware, doesn't work either.

Not quite fan of hero though, asks for too many permissions. Don't really get the point of the permissions to read contacts.

Regarding greenify I tried to install but it FC every time. Uninstalled without rebooting, so thanks for the advice. If you have no problem with battery and IMEI, I'm even more convinced that both problems are related.
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
I don't like tool hero too, but it did fix my IMEI problem. (I always deny most of the permissions it ask, and then uninstall). Nothing else worked (terminal, recovery, adb).

Battery seems fine here. I have to mention that my charging circuit has major problems. I use the phone daily now and I have 2 batteries charging them with cables.

View attachment 4425902
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
Well, finally I have decided to re-flash, following the instructions of greatapo at the first post (I'm pretty sure I did the same last time).

In the middle I also flashed lollipop as suggested in the russian forum but I have little confidence that this had any impact.

The point is that phone has "magically" recovered IMEIs (like they were hidden somewhere) and battery usage is back to normal. Before, I had a slope of power comsumption due to cell network even on plane mode. Now, when the phone is idling consumption is flat.

I can recall that this phone (at least my device) had a strange behaviour: When it has been powered off for a while it didn't power on. But if I boot for recovery or keep it on, then it boots perfectly. This time I had it "heating up" before flashing (just in case something similar happens to any of you).
[Lenovo A850] Maevinarsh:
Booting taking too long!

I flashed this ROM with SP Flash Tool (latest). I end up my phone taking too long to boot. I am until now seeing a CynogenMod Marshmallow and some ripple effect behind it :confused:

Please. Anybody, tell me the real and proper way to get this ROM working on my Lenovo A850 (step-by-step). Explain Step 4 please.

I am super interested on this ROM!
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
Is it everytime or just the first time? First time is absolutely normal, as all aplications have to get compiled
[Lenovo A850] Krosbit:
im in the same situation,stuck on the boot logo for more than half an hour and nothing happened,any help would be great
[Lenovo A850] Maevinarsh:
Nah Its ok now it works. I am just unable to flash GAPPS. Thats all
[Lenovo A850] Krosbit:
Now is working after flashing the mod above a official rom,now i have 2 errors,i cant see any file when plugged in the pc and the imei one (i tried tool hero but when i apply the apk stopped working),again any help would be great

PS:how can i enable root in the cm12 rom?
[Lenovo A850] Maevinarsh:
Did you flash ROM+GAPPS successfully? I recently successfully flashed ROM. I tried to flash GAPPS using TWRP but after powering on my Lenovo a850, i always get 2 error message which is (Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped working" (the most) and "Unfortunately, Google play services has stopped working". What now? Did I flashed it wrongly? Can you state how you flash GAPPS please?
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
Yes, my process (the one that finally worked):

Clear (everything but sdcard, modem, etc)

Install android 5 (this might be not necessary)

Clear

Flash cm13

Flash gapps (pico version, the smallest, arm architecture)

Start... and works

I'm starting from a 4.2 CN rom
[Lenovo A850] mesane:
still invalid imei after using tool hero. please help. :(
[Lenovo A850] crushcomx:
google play store please

gapps on the link page 1 make device force close after flash it via twrp, i do step by step on page 1 :(

and thanks for share :)

i hope my issue can be solve by anyone here
[Lenovo A850] crushcomx:
same like me

how you solve the problem?

just wait it or do something?
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
Is anybody using this rom with ADB? I have been able to use it only by switching to "camera mode".

I would like to test scrcpy with it.
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
I suppose you have it enabled from dev settings... right?

Everyone have problems flashing: Try installing linerty's latest ROM (use google translate) first (or here). Please report back with feedback.

GAPPS Problems: Install pico from TWRP.

IMEI Problems: Try tool hero... or try this(use google translate)... or google it...
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
Sure! Enable ADB at developer options, but it is not detected until switched to camera mode, then it gets the authorization request and I connect.

The issue now is moved from no adb to it doesn't do screen mirroring correctly (is al blurred). I keep on investigating.

Regarding the IMEI, I tried all kind of tricks and nothing worked. Then I reflashed and it automagically recovered original IMEI
[Lenovo A850] Maevinarsh:
Wait a minute. How did you loose your IMEI? Now I am only stuck at the IMEI part. I cant call, use data connection and I get an NVRAM Error. Did you have these errors? Tell me how you recovered the IMEI. What did you reflashed? Thank You for your kind attention!
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
I flashed the rom as stated in the first post, and I got no IMEIs and the phone was draining battery due to "cell standby". Even without IMEI, in flight mode cell standby was using up all the battery.

So I decided to reflash, exactly the same way (twice the same thing). And the IMEIs where back, no need to do anything else (I tried every single trick I could find for the A850.

Before flashing cm13 I flashed an android 5 rom, but really hesitate that this had any influence.

Hope it helps!
[Lenovo A850] ayamati:
I can flash Linerty's ROM but I can't flash any of CM files.

Why?
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
I will add it in the first topic

:confused:
[Lenovo A850] Maevinarsh:
Hi there! I finally decided to try Tool Hero. The thing is, once I click "IMEI", and then "IMEI modify", they asked me for two IMEIs but there is only 1 IMEI number behind the phone. So how should I get my another IMEI?

Thanks In Advance

I am planning to do a tutorial on how to flash this ROM once I get a fix for my IMEI. I promise to put your name in the video's description. In the other side, you really helped me a lot. Now I am just stuck at IMEI since I cannot call and use data.
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
Leave the second with the noumber generated from the app :P, works :)
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
Try second IMEI = first IMEI + 8
[Lenovo A850] Maevinarsh:
Thanks, IMEI fixed.

I fixed my IMEI. Now I have an IMEI. All these problems happened because I clicked "Format All+Download" option at SP Flash Tool. I know It is the most stupidest thing I have done and I really regret it.

I managed to fix the IMEI. Before I cleaned it, the notification bar showed "Invalid IMEI". After I fixed my IMEI, it showed "Emergency Calls Only". I have placed a working SIM on my phone but it still doesn't want to detect. I still cannot call and use data.

And, the "NVRAM Warning: Err 0x10" **** error still hasn't gone.

I still haven't fixed my MAC Adress and all because I don't really know how to do it.

Thanks In Advance!
[Lenovo A850] ayamati:
Sorry for not explaining...

Here's the thing... I flashed the suggested stock rom (from lenovo forum. ru) and then after the phone was done flashing, boot it up. When everything booted up, I try to flash the CM13 files... It flashed but then my phone got semi-bricked (blank screen, only red light)... hmm... any ideas on how to fix it?
[Lenovo A850] jbaounz:
how can i install it by using twrp?? my phone was dead right now and i cant connect it on to my computer because its already formatted and wiped, so the usb debug is disabled.. can u please give me the ROM that can install it by using TWRP because my phone cant connect to my computer.. please guys im begging you !!!! :(
[Lenovo A850] bazio101:
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post.

I tried cm12 version (android 5.0.2) mentioned in first post, following instructions in this page: https://xdaforums.com/lenovo-a850/development/rom-s121-2013-a850-t2745007

Everything went just fine. IMEI, MAC-address, battery life, camera, gps, mobile-data work as they should. Phone was not rooted and couldn't reboot to TWRM recovery (can't reboot at all - just poweroff), even using power-volume buttons (keep trying). I managed to root phone using kingoroot (android apk) easilly (browsing is not the same without adaway). In settings-about-model says: lenovo S660 but I think this is not a problem (apps see device as S660 instead of A850). Seems like wlan location not working (still working on this). In notifications drop-down panel if inactivate wifi, sim card also triggers off, but works fine from settings-Wi-Fi. I'm not intend to install google apps. Using this rom 2 days now (in my main - and only device) and I can say it's really working!

Hope this helps.
[Lenovo A850] Alk142:
Doesn't boot, screen stays black :(

Doesn't boot after flashing. Screen stays black. Processor matches (MT6582). How many variants of A8-50 a.k.a. A5500-F are there actually around? This is way confusing :( And all these script-riddled Russian or Chinese download sites don't help either, why no plain direct link? :(
[Lenovo A850] reykripto:
Ok succesful install but i lost 3g H+ bands

The rom runs well i instaled cm12 and linage 14.1 with out gapps and this one cm13 runs well but the only thing is that i lost 3G H+ bands only have 2G bands on it what can i do to solve this!?:crying::D
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
For everyone flashing this ROM on whichever phone has a similar CPU.... this is a ROM for Lenovo A850 only. If you want to go wild and flash it on your phone, don't expect it to work. Yes, having the same CPU is the basics of porting but that doesn't mean at all that the ROM will work.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fattheman:
Hello Everyone,

I hope someone can help me, I have tried to answer my question and searched quite a while in the oneplus forums, google and here but couldn´t find a straight answer.

My wife has a oneplus2, for business reasons she needed to encrypt the phone, but now I would like to install a different rom on her phone, probably a nougat one, to give a new life to it, however I am not sure if that is still possible since the phone is encrypted I am assuming that I can´t do much.

Is this correct? If it´s not correct can I someone explain me how or at least in the right direction.

Much appreciated any help.

Cheers,

Hi,

I have a problem with the radio app. On Stock and malaysk rom, the Sound comes only out off the left speaker, the right one are noisi. On other apps its always working. Only the radio app has this issue.

Somebody a solution or a alternative radio app for me? [emoji848]

Gesendet von meinem ZTE B2017G mit Tapatalk
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] SkyBeam2048:
This sounds more like a hardware issue. Likely defective FM decoder or internal wiring.

Obviously as you say from other sound sources it's working. So your unit is correctly cabled to the speakers and working. Your amplifier seems to be fine too. The only difference to the radio source is the origin of the sound being emitted from the FM tuner internally on your head unit. Assuming this the sound/noise on your right speaker will be produced by defective FM tuner and likely is just amplified as any other sound. So the volume level of the noise likely increases when you turn up the volume.

If this is the case I would recommend to send the unit back or have it repaired as this problem is not software related and cannot be fixed with another radio app.

The only work-around I could see is to use another radio source (e.g. external FM tuner) or use a source like DAB or internet radio. But your internal FM chip/wiring seems to be broken.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] le_mi:
Thanks a lot for your statement. I'm in contact with the seller and hope they send me a new unit. They have offer me a partial payback but i want a unit wich is working for 100%.

DAB+ or other things are not an option for me.
