Hi Everybody, I am new in this forum. I recently bought Lenovo Ideaphone S880, which runs on ICS and 5" touch screen. It has Lenovo store, but no google store. Also when i try through play.google.com, my device is not shown.
The difficulty in Lenovo store is all in Chinese, not in English. How to root my phone ?

hi there, if you use lenovo s880,
you can use this method of rooting
review and how to root lenovo s880
hopefully this'll help....
Yes, finally I got a root application. But still google market is not installing
Just installing playstore won't work. You also need vending pack and maybe some other Google apps too to get it to work. For example you will also need a Gmail account registered on the phone.
Search XDA for a GAPPS zip file for ICS, download to phone, extract files and copy the apps you want to system/app folder using root explorer. Change permissions of all apps you copied over to rw-r--r-- and then reboot. Should work after that.
Another method is to install gapps zip file in recovery mode but I couldn't get this to work.

as for google playstore. in my country's version of this device has already playstore preinstalled. i dont have any idea how the other version got no playstore inside.
maybe you can search for the other device's tips for installing google playstore, because it has the capabilities installing playstore (like mine)

You can not download apk directly from market to a PC.
You can find sites like getjar.com or many other that post free apk files.
Another thing you can do is download to your Android phone, extract it or
I use Astros file manager and backup the apk.
I do this to get apps for my tablet that's not avaiable from market.
Something your brother can do is use Market enabler, it trick the system into thinking
he has a US carrier and most apps will show up
hello.
he is in a country that he can not connect to the market at all. So market enabler will not be any help.
if i download them to my phone, in what directory can i find the apk ???
and is there a way to download them to me phone but not install them on my phone ??? (just to pick the apk ?)
thank you for your help.

If you want to get the apk files of you installed apps, you'll have you back them up (there are many apps which do this). You can place the apk files anywhere on your sd card (or internal storage depending on device) where you can find them.
hello
i have tested with appmonster but it seem that it stores all the versions of the apps (even last versions before updates).
what app is best for thet and that stores only the latest version of each app ?

You could try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.agilesoftresource&feature=search_result.
Try Astro. It's simple, backs up only what you want, and seems to be a good option for what you need. I personally use Titanium Backup, but that's more advanced and has more features than you need. Astro would be the simplest way of doing what you need.

Depending on the app, look in System/app or also Data/app to find the apk's after being installed.
Use something like Astro to backup your Applications and then send the apks.

Can I ask how you rooted your G500? I tried the Bin4ry method and it all seemed to work OK but when I run root explorer it says it does not have superuser rights!
How are you installing the Google apps stuff? Are you just putting the google play app on your device and installing it? I think you need a lot of other files as well especially the google framework.
When I get root I will give a few things a try - I think you might need something like the google apps pack from the cyanogenmod page - it is intended as an installable zip from recovery - but as we have no clockworkmod recovery we can't do this but I think you can copy it to your device and change a few file permissions.

Sure, HuaWei U8836D seems a really good smartphone.
Unfortunately, there is sooo few support for it: difficult root, no custom rom (besides eto's one)..... so I'm looking to Newman N1 and Zte V970 (cheaper and with good custom works), or maybe the more expensive Zopo zp300+...

A little unfair - the root (Bin4ry v10 version) is very quick and I would say easy. The phone has only been available for 2-3 weeks max so it will take a bit of time for the modding scene to get started. Although - as the ZTE V970 was out first then then people may stick there.
Does anyone have the scatter file for use with SP_Flash tool? I would really like to backup my entire ROM before I do anything!
Has anyone been sent and installed the eto ROM - is it installed with the flash tool?

First of all you have to flash the recovery, check Bruno's thread to access his 4shared folder and download his recovery. Then you have to follow his instructions to flash it (go to the "Flashing only part of the ROM" section).
When you are finished flashing, you have to access the ClockWorkMod recovery and go to "backup and restore" and do a backup. That will generate a backup of your ROM and save it to your SD card.
Thanks

Hi all,
I've just bought lenovo s870e a couple days ago, and I couldn't find the usb drivers and the new rom/firmware, I had enough with the stock rom, because the google play store won't work, etc... So, I need some help with it...
thanks
oh man, no one reply it... lenovo s870e is really a rare phone outside china...
Hey man. I have one as well but I asked an employee to help root it for me. I am still not sure if it's a full/true root and haven't spent enough time to check myself.
Drivers should have been loaded on the phone when you install it, at least for connection in normal mode. For fastboot and ADB, I don't have them either...
hey bro,
well i got the newer rom already, can root it using romasterv.3.1.0 but still, lenovo didn't update the rom seriously... the newest rom 2013-03-22 still got lots of bugs, can't login to google account

The speaker volume of this phone is very feeble (too low), though in headphone mode it is very good.

Hi XDA's
I got a new Set top Box model EC6108V8 and I'm trying to Root this device to install GAPPS. Searching for solution bring me nowhere because this STB ROM is already updated by Vendor of TM UniFi.
Today, I found this recovery img inside /system folder and I wonder if anyone can port this recovery img to CWM @twrp or maybe can add the "INSTALL UPDATE" menu back into it, as it was removed by TM in last update. To flash this img is by using "write_raw" command.
I'm not really sure if this img is port-able. However, it is worth a try by Pro Porter out there. :highfive:
Appreciated any feedback and help
I know this is another question, but are you able to root your STB? I failed to root mine using King Root.

Hi ..
I dont know which version of android ur STB currently using, and I also in doubt for the tricks, maybe its not working for latest udpated version due to security reason.
And also, since there are lots of AndroidBox Tv in market, people are not looking for 'STB hack' anymore
