Download the firmware you want with NaviFirm and copy it over to the right NCS folder (you should be able to find a guide for this all over the forum).

worked for you?......l also do want to downgrade ....my device is new and came with 7.8 already....if worked tell me please how you did it.....please and thank you
NEVERMIND L DID IT WITH NCS
THANKS ANYWAY
cheer hensiblu
you can downgrade via NCS or NSSPRO. (flash it normally and FW will be 7.5 or above)...
you have to do it in recovery mode also instead of refurbish or it will just use the latest fw just go about how you would do a bricked one
Of course,you can do it with NCS.Follow my instructions:
Noteo this in offline mode
1.)In the products directory(in rm-801),place the wp7.5 files.
2.)Open Product support tool and choose open product in the file mnu(Make sure Automatic product selection is checked)
3.)Click programming and select recovery(Do not connect your phone at this point).The recovery files will be updated automatically.
4.)When it gives an error,Turn off ur phone and go into OSBL mode.Hit retry and you are done!
Cuz you own that!!
if u get error with NCS mutch simple is to download firmware from navifirm then extract rom from "....boot.esco" , rename from "boot.img" to "os-new.nb" and flash it with "Nokia Lumia Downloader v0.5"
[DEV]TWRP RECOVERY FOR LG D315 F70
Warning : This operation involves risk. XDA community or me can not be held responsible for any problems
Hi everyone!
Well, Since this smartphone is somewhat forgotten in the Android community, I decided to work on it ! I unlocked the fastboot and ported TWRP Recovery for the LG F70 ! It works on the D315, for others I really don't know ... But since I did the porting myself it must be considered as an alpha version x ') The only problem is I had to use a theme for TWRP, because the default theme was too big for this phone :/ Well you might say, it is nice like that ! The themer is "z31s1g". Anyway. If some people want to test and give feedback, this is here
First, make sure your phone is rooted (you can do it with towelroot) and make sure you have the Android SDK installed, and the LG drivers.
Download my attachment and extract it on your computer.
Right now you have to activate fastboot, fastboot is hidden behind the download mode, so backup your download mode :
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/sdcard/laf.img.
And now set zero the download mode with this command, then reboot :
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
adb reboot
Now you have replaced the download mode by fastboot. Let's start fastboot, to do so, you have to turn off your phone, hold Vol+ button and plug in the USB cable.
On the console, do this command to check if phone is connected and detected.
Code:
fastboot devices
There should be a random sequence of numbers, and "fastboot" displayed.
So now we will proceed to flash the recovery with this command :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery c:\PathToTheRecoveryImage\recovery.img
Then reboot with this command :
Code:
fastboot reboot
Done ! This is my first tutorial in english... I'm a 17 years old french user, excuse me if my english is bad x)
************************************************************************************
UPDATE HERE, BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED AND NEW RECOVERY
************************************************************************************
Thanks in advance if someone want to test it and post a feedback, I will make a little list of what's working / not working (I already tested it, I didn't see nothing right now Enjoy !

Hello, it seems that only me and you have this phone. So, I'd like to root my phone, do you think that I could use towelroot without risk?
I think I'll try your guide too... after root
Thanks in advance
Yes, you can use Towelroot, but for the recovery, remember it's only a first test, and I don't know if the bootloader is locked... but the recovery seems to work
good. towelroot works well and I have no problem since now. do you think I could install gravity box in this phone with stock rom? how can I unroot this phone? thanks in advance
It was not able to enter the Fastboot
Hi. I thank you TWRP who porting. I have not imagined and think you made using the TWRP in the F70 model. However Execution has not been in the loading screen of the download mode it is not possible that you have used the dd if = / dev / zero of = ~~ command as described in your article, but to enter the fastboot.
How can I do? I use F370s model.
I'm sorry. I use google translations...

I've used this tool (this tool has a tutorial on its page). After flashing you have to root again.
Duble check to be sure that you have lg d315 model and downloaded lg d315 firmware!
This is the model of my phone. It didnt say it is d315. But i read it its the same only it is the korean version. See attached image. Should i go continue flash?and what is the consequence if i use different rom for my phone?

There is no guarantee for a successful firmware flash.
What if flashing failed? Can i revert back?

If flashing failed you will have to disassemble a bootloader and to correct security checks inside.
So, It's possible but VERY hard.
Hi all ! I just worked on this phone night and day x)
I just unlocked the bootloader, and made a CWM port (I personnally prefer CWM x) ) And i'm working to make a port of Cyanogenmod 11, but i'm only 17 y-o and... Well, that's too hard for me x) I've compiled it, with bin blobs, and other stuff, all the config files, etc, but it's not working YET x) (If anyone want to help me I can share my project...) Well :
/!\ For Recovery to work, you MUST unlock the bootloader by this method, this is very simple (Thanks to Zaaap72) /!\
CWM 6.0.5.0 : CWM 6.0.5.0.img
Method to unlock bootloader (not by me) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-unlock-t2827748
The G2 Mini (D620) Has the same architecture as the F70, I mean Qualcomm msm8226, Snapdragon400, Same amount of ram, etc, BUT, not the same screen... And I'm trying to adapt the cutom kernel, and sources of D620 CM11 for my F70 x) Again, If anyone can/want help me
(Remember that the recoveries I made are in beta-test, this is my first try, and I will update them in the future, If you find any bugs, tell me, or modify the .img by yourself with AIK and upload the image for me Thanks !)
Have a nice day guys
KuroHaki, what version of device (D315/F370), device region and firmware (v10a/b/c...) bootloader did you use to unlock? Zaaap72's unlock method is very risky and unstable solution. The best solution is on 4pda, Anyway you're done!
You can try to make a recovery image with LG-L70 recovery binary and F70 kernel. It may work, I've made like that before with MTK devices.
I have a v10b D315, and I used the 4-bytes method, on aboot and abootb, it awesomely worked I played with chance on this, and it worked x) If anyone want to test it on another firmware/model of F70... And for the Image, I don't need recovery, I need a Kernel that can boot Cyanogenmod, because the LG sources make my phone bootloop on the LG first logo... I tried with Zaaap port of Quarx sources, with no success... Kernel compilation is very hard for me, I had many errors with Drivers on Quarx source, I changed the files with errors with files from LG source, and It compiled, but not worked... I don't understand why... Well, if anyone have a solution for this kernel... x)
I am the owner LG F70 phones and watches this topic for a long time but did not move anything, whether it was by the opportunity to do any ROM for this device ?
Wow! Thanks for this Recovery!!!! Was looking a while for twrp on the F70! :good:
I did flash the recovery successfully with the method in the OP. However, when I reboot to recovery (adb reboot recovery) it failed to boot TWRP - a screen showed 'secure boot error' then there were was a dump screen with lots of drives mounted to my linux pc.
This is likely because I didn't unlock the boot loader right? However, the method provided to unlock looks a bit too risky - especially since I dont have a recovery to restore if the stuff break the system. Anyway, thanks for this!
@up
I don't think so the unlock bootloader it's dangerous. I have done files aboot and abootb so i can send you.
Russian LG bootloader guru Andrew-New from 4pda has made a patched bootloader for lg d315 from v10b aboot.bin as I've requested him.
Hello XDA! I'm pretty new here to the forum, and I need quite a bit of help here.
I own a Nokia Lumia 1020 clone(named L1020, running stock 2.3.6 rom on a SC6820 SoC, rooted but no custom recovery) and since I rooted it started loving Android. I was modding framewprk-res.apk, but I messed up and deleted the /system app, and now I got a pretty good soft-brick.
Luckily, I have backups of both modified and stock versions of the app on my SD Card.
Afterr Googling a bit I found that I can reinstall the app via adb or a custom recovery. (I can boot the phone into recovery)
Also, I've been unable to mount the system partition read-write when trying through adb under Win8.1 32bit (driver issue, maybe? ) neither detect the device under recovery mode
Question is, can I try to flash a compatible version of CWM through stock recovery, or maybe help me with this issue using adb, or help looking for a better solution? I really need that phone, as I won't be getting a new phone soon.
(May I add that I'm going to use the same laptop I rooted my phone for adb today afternoon. It runs Win7 32-bit and has the adb drivers correctly installed)
EDIT: used laptop today, installed the drivers and stuff, ran ADB but..
adb shell
$ su
su
[-] connect ui: timer expired
so, no superuser access... what did I do wrong?
please help!
Thank you very much!

A firend of mine got a problem with his Lenovo, so we thought about reflashing it.
Unfortunattely we are not sure if it is CN or Row version.
The rom flashed on it is VIBEUI_V1.5_1423_9_P780_baralajbiV7
However reading the forum I'm not only not able to choose between CN and Row, but what are CN+ and Row+ versions?

Hi. Your firmware is based on Chinese firmware.
CN+ or ROW+ are modified layout firmware so you can flash latest kernel and latest TWRP.
Partitions are modified to be bigger. TWRP has grown from 6.1 mb to 12 mb and dont fitt in original recovery partition. Kernel its allmost the same thing.
Read here for + versions. Its the post of original developer.

Hope this helps you.
He is not into modding stuff (to much, coz he too know that You cannot have full Android experience without Root). I just wanted to know which firmwares I can safely flash on this device.

For me is MIUI from USNKREAL.
Stable. Still developed. OTA updates.Patched with latest Android Security Patches.Easy to use. Rooted with original MIUI Root manager.Developed specialy for this phone Lenovo P780.
Here is the post. There are the screenshots too.

I love MIUI (however moved to Resurrection Remix, coz their LP build made me love it more) and, between Roms available here on XDA, would probably choose it. But It's not my choice. I'm here to repair NVRAM, but cannot do it on this build, so first need to reflash it, but as it;'s my first time with this device, I wasn't sure about this CN, Row, CN+ and Row+, and preferred to ask than looking for ways to unbrick it later.

Ok. But let me tell you one thing!
I have ROW version of the phone.
I am using CN based firmware.
Only i have to change was the modem software!
Works like charm!
MIUI is updated with latest Android Security Patches.
Your phone is ROW but have installed CN based firmware.
Sooo... you can use any of CN or ROW firmware. Modem software makes the diference.
You can try to get the phone in META MODE by powering down the phone, then power on with the buttons POWER and VOL - pressed together.
If the message: YOU HAVE BEEN IN META MODE TOO LONG.... appears you can flash ahain your IMEI, ofcorce respecting that tutorial.
Good Luck.
So if I flash CN modem on Row phone, all the problem will be no signal, and than flashing right modem will make it OK? It won't brick the device?
But how do You recognized that it's Row mode? It was bought form Aliexpress so as well he could bought CN model. It doesn't have LTE modem to make so big difference.

Flashing modem software for this kind of phone wil not brick your phone or signal.
In china phones dont use 800 mhz frequency. It is forbidden. So in hardware they dont have seccond chipset on modem, row phones have the seccond chipset for 800 mhz frequency.
Flashing cn modem software will not afect the phone, only the gsm signal received. In some area where your gsm provider antenna works on 800 mhz your phone will not have signal.
That is it.
Thought that there is more risk
But got confirmation that it's Row, as it had Google Play OOTB and CN ones don't have it.

Hi.
If you FLASH Row based firmware, over CN based firmware, nothing will happen. FLASH mean, using SP Flash Tool. The phone will start normal with Chinese software. After this you can use CN zip file firmware, like MIUI.
If you INSTALL Row zip file over CN based firmware, you will softbrick the phone.
This applies only to P780. Maybe there are phones that use the same technology, and i do not know the precise brand.
Hope this will answer your question.

Hi,
I still don't understand how to check the phone version. It's not my phone, so can You just point me a stable rom without preinstalled chinese apps etc. ?
This one is installed: VIBEUI_.V2.0_9439_7.10.1_DEV_P780

Hi. Your layout is CN.
Look if you have custom recovery TWRP Installed.
If you have TWRP installed you can go to this post and install latest MIUI MINOVO.
Good luck.

I have read a lot of articles in 3 days on XDA for my P780.
And the most of them are of you Stympy, but I'm a bit of mess.
I Bought my device from China "Minideal", I asked it rooted but now with serch on it I saw that its not. I don't know wich recovery mode it has. But for sure its not TWRP.
My ROM version is VIBEROM_V1.0_1347_3_ST_P780 so I must serch for CN or ROW to install on it. The diference on that 2 is from what I read the frequency only or the languish too. CN has only Chinise and English? ROW is multilanguish? This moment I have multilanguish on phone because I use Greek.
The phone had 3 years the same ROM and has launched not working properly.:cyclops:
As I have said above I have read enough articles and I'm confused about the upgrade process. Others are older versions, other files there are no longer on posts. The process is not written so clear. HELP PLEASE...

Hi.
Your firmware currently installed is Chinese for sure. Its old allright! All stock firmware is old because Lenovo builders gived up on this nice phone.
So... first thing first...
You must upgrade your system first in order to install one custom firmware. I think is what you want.
To upgrade your system you must work with SP FLASH TOOL. SP Flash tool is not a program to play with if you dont know what are you doing. 99% of people who used this tool and did not know how to... corupted NVRAM and lost their IMEI.
So... lets begin.
A. Tool to be downloaded:
1. SP Flash Tool V.5 and v.3. This 2 tools are made for Lenovo P780.
2. Divers like zip file and exe file.
3. Firmware multilanguage for your phone. This firmware is CN Based but dont wory to mutch, is custom made and compiled for multilanguage and is working well. I used very long time.
4. TWRP custom recovery.
B. Drivers installation procedure.
1. First drivers instalation. This small tutorial is for installing drivers if you never installed on your device:
1.1 First install the .exe file. Reboot PC.
1.2. After reboot plug the phone (powered on) to the PC and new hardware wizard will appear. Install driver if windows will wants too.
1.3. Now power off the phone. And open the Device Manager.
1.4. Again plug the phone to the PC or laptop this time powered off.
1.5. At this time in Device Manager appeared for a second or two not in PORTS area something with.. MTK65xx...
1.6. Click very fast on it because that will dessapear very fast.
1.7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver. Browse for the driver unzipped. Install.... yes yes... next next... blah blah.... Finnish. . And voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
C. Flashing procedure:
1. now... turn off your phone
2. plug your USB cable in your computer
3. do not plug your USB cable in your phone
4. open Flash Tool and unzip the firmware. Remember the adress of your folder where you unzipped the firmware. Load scatter file from that folder.
5. check DA,DL WITH CHECKSUM (NOT OPTIONAL)for v.3 not for v.5. Version 5 is allready checked. Look at those 2 pictures attached.
6. press Firmware Upgrade button (NOT DOWNLOAD BUTTON). For version 5 select FIRMWARE UPGRADE. Look at those 2 pictures attached.
7. now... just now plug usb cable to your phone.
8. firmware flash should start.(some red and other color lines should appear)
9. iff the firmware is not starting remove the back case of your phone and hold pressed the little red button from the right side, for about 20 seconds then release. All this must be done with cable pluged in to your phone.
9. after flash is done a green circle or some ok should appear
10. disconect your phone and power on your phone
11. lenovo logo should appear. then you should be pacient because it will took some time before android boots for the first time.
12. Reboot at least once, then your phone is ready to work HARD.
D. Installing TWRP. This custom recovery is good for custom firmware and full system backup.
Power Off your phone.
1. After power off your phone open Flash Tool and browse for the scatter file your folder where are the recovery.img and scatter file.
2. Now comes the tricky part . Creeate a new folder on your Desktop. In that new folder copy TWRP recovery and scatter file from your firmware folder.
3. Now load the scatter file and mark DA DL with check sum in SP Flash Tool v3. In SP Flash Tool v 5 dont need. They are allready selected. Recovery.img should appear checked. If not, checkit.
4. Press Download NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
5. Now, just now plug the cabble on your phone. Download should start and a green circle should appear.
6. After this you should have custom recovery TWRP installed.
7. Then boot directly to recovery your phone by pressing power with vol + and vol - butons together. Not Optional because TWRP will overitten by some files and stock recovery will appear.
8. After you entered in TWRP look arrownd to see what is there and after your curiosity is satified reboot to system.
E. After all this steps are done your firmware and your phone is ready to install custom firmware, i mean CN based custom firmware.
This is it. You have a custom firmware ready phone.
------ SAGA CONTINUES -----
F. There is some new form of layout for this phone appeared recently in order to prepare the phone for more bigger custom firmware like MIUI.
This new form called "+" layout is developed by Andreya108 and is made specialy for this P780.

Hi.
Your firmware currently installed is Chinese for sure. Its old allright! All stock firmware is old because Lenovo builders gived up on this nice phone.
So... first thing first...
You must upgrade your system first in order to install one custom firmware. I think is what you want.
To upgrade your system you must work with SP FLASH TOOL. SP Flash tool is not a program to play with if you dont know what are you doing. 99% of people who used this tool and did not know how to... corupted NVRAM and lost their IMEI.
So... lets begin.
A. Tool to be downloaded:
1. SP Flash Tool V.5 and v.3. This 2 tools are made for Lenovo P780.
2. Divers like zip file and exe file.
3. Firmware multilanguage for your phone. This firmware is CN Based but dont wory to mutch, is custom made and compiled for multilanguage and is working well. I used very long time.
4. TWRP custom recovery.
B. Drivers installation procedure.
1. First drivers instalation. This small tutorial is for installing drivers if you never installed on your device:
1.1 First install the .exe file. Reboot PC.
1.2. After reboot plug the phone (powered on) to the PC and new hardware wizard will appear. Install driver if windows will wants too.
1.3. Now power off the phone. And open the Device Manager.
1.4. Again plug the phone to the PC or laptop this time powered off.
1.5. At this time in Device Manager appeared for a second or two not in PORTS area something with.. MTK65xx...
1.6. Click very fast on it because that will dessapear very fast.
1.7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver. Browse for the driver unzipped. Install.... yes yes... next next... blah blah.... Finnish. . And voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
C. Flashing procedure:
1. now... turn off your phone
2. plug your USB cable in your computer
3. do not plug your USB cable in your phone
4. open Flash Tool and unzip the firmware. Remember the adress of your folder where you unzipped the firmware. Load scatter file from that folder.
5. check DA,DL WITH CHECKSUM (NOT OPTIONAL)for v.3 not for v.5. Version 5 is allready checked. Look at those 2 pictures attached.
6. press Firmware Upgrade button (NOT DOWNLOAD BUTTON). For version 5 select FIRMWARE UPGRADE. Look at those 2 pictures attached.
7. now... just now plug usb cable to your phone.
8. firmware flash should start.(some red and other color lines should appear)
9. iff the firmware is not starting remove the back case of your phone and hold pressed the little red button from the right side, for about 20 seconds then release. All this must be done with cable pluged in to your phone.
9. after flash is done a green circle or some ok should appear
10. disconect your phone and power on your phone
11. lenovo logo should appear. then you should be pacient because it will took some time before android boots for the first time.
12. Reboot at least once, then your phone is ready to work HARD.
D. Installing TWRP. This custom recovery is good for custom firmware and full system backup.
Power Off your phone.
1. After power off your phone open Flash Tool and browse for the scatter file your folder where are the recovery.img and scatter file.
2. Now comes the tricky part . Creeate a new folder on your Desktop. In that new folder copy TWRP recovery and scatter file from your firmware folder.
3. Now load the scatter file and mark DA DL with check sum in SP Flash Tool v3. In SP Flash Tool v 5 dont need. They are allready selected. Recovery.img should appear checked. If not, checkit.
4. Press Download NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
5. Now, just now plug the cabble on your phone. Download should start and a green circle should appear.
6. After this you should have custom recovery TWRP installed.
7. Then boot directly to recovery your phone by pressing power with vol + and vol - butons together. Not Optional because TWRP will overitten by some files and stock recovery will appear.
8. After you entered in TWRP look arrownd to see what is there and after your curiosity is satified reboot to system.
E. After all this steps are done your firmware and your phone is ready to install custom firmware, i mean CN based custom firmware.
This is it. You have a custom firmware ready phone.
------ SAGA CONTINUES -----
F. There is some new form of layout for this phone appeared recently in order to prepare the phone for more bigger custom firmware like MIUI.
This new form called "+" layout is developed by Andreya108 and is made specialy for this P780.

:laugh:You're amazing, so written in detail! Thank you very much for your time and your job!
I will inform you on how to go!:fingers-crossed:
Hi, I'm not a developer, but if I like to do this kind of thing, looking for the easiest way to do things and help others.
**Attention** Do this at your own risk, I am not responsible for anything that happens; sorry my english.There is a safer way to root Realme Gt; I'm pretty sure it works with all versions. So far I have tested version Export_11_c.20, the latest
(Note: I converted my cell phone from Chinese to Indian version Following the steps in the following link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...gion-and-root-update-twrp-2022-02-21.4381727/)
Now I show you the steps so you can do it:
Put your phone on fastboot mode
Opened CMD then:
1: Fastboot boot twrp.img (TWRP-3.6.0_V2.img)
2: adb devices(optional)
3: adb shell
4 command: dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_b of=/sdcard/boot.img
Close CMD and reopen again, Then:
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img ( this command take boot.img out, in the storage phone)
Reboot the phone, and install the las magisk apk (normal)
Then you go to install, and chosse the option "Select and patch a File" and select the boot.img
Then take this file in to your pc, you fine this file in download (Example name: magisk_patched-25200_abGrv)
Then, the open CMD and put your phone in fastboot mode
Then, Use this command
fastboot boot boot.img (The boot.img you flash)
Open magisk and press install and "Direct install (Recommended)"
Wait and reboot
Enjoy
This method is safe because you don't flash the boot.img, you boot it and if it doesn't work you just have to force shut down and the phone would remain as if nothing was done.
If, you have this version Export_11_c.20, i give you the boot.img patch, you just do the step number 7 onwards

Bugs:
Ram Expansion dont work after this metod
Hello friend, greetings!
I see you posted a thread on XDA about installing magisk safely.
could you clear some doubts for me?
I have a realme GT 5g CN version, and I want to change it to indian version because of the multi languages and google services.
I unlocked the bootloader and installed the rom but the updates stop at version IN C.17. I tried to install magisk through a tutorial with the wrong file, the phone was in loop, corrected with the help of a friend here at XDA, and I returned to the CN version for fear of more problems.
But the CN rom is bothering me because it delays notifications.
I intend to install the Indian rom and follow your tutorial to use magisk.
I could make a video with a step-by-step explanation of this procedure, it will be very interesting to help other members.

Perfect, write me @Luccas Oliveira . +1 849-357-5805
Is this safe? I was reading a lot of posts and people keep saying they bricked their phones. I have a recently updated realme GT but it's China ROM so I want to switch to something else.
