Are you sure the drivers are installed correctly? Did you update to KitKat using the flash tool? (if so then the drivers are correctly installed). If not, and you updated over KitKat, chances are that you have not installed the drivers correctly which is the hard part. See this post here for correct driver installation http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/lenovo-p780-guide-t2658144

i downloaded the update file from this link " http://studioscue.com/lenovo-p780-8g...n-and-rooting/ " and it was a rar file when extracted i got a zip file and i copied that file to phone and switched off the phone and went to recovery mode by pressing powerkey,vol up and vol down. the file automatically installed.i actually downloaded drivers from lenovo website for p780 and installed it in my pc, i even connected my phone and checked for driver update,the message displayed drivers up to date.
I downloaded the driver file and installed. now my phone is getting detected but i get this error in the flash tool.
PMT Mismatch
I have had this problem before, on another phone Bird V1277 see attached screenshot you need a modified scatter file or try and download file again could be corrupted?
I tried with three different scatter files but its not working i get this error in sp flash tool
"pmt changed for the rom it must be downloaded"
what might be the problem

Vroot doesn't give lasting root. After a day or two the root fails. Kingroot wont work and root genius isn't so genius with this ROM. Has anyone gotten lasting root on the newest KK ROM? I have rooted three times. Right now I'm using SuperSU but it is not full root. TB won't work and Mobile Uncle Tools doesn't work fully also. Is there no newer recovery that will work better? I've tried the newest TWRP and the older CWM both won't give full root. I wouldn't ask but I've been looking myself for a long while already. I've even contacted the guy who writes the 4EXT recovery. Maybe he will make us a recovery. I like 4EXT.
What is the difference between the kitkat update variations s220,s221,s214
my phone has s214 and i cant install twrp in it
which is the latest version among all these
Obviously S221.

As I can see from your other posts you rooted the 997D with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 solution. After that you did the system firmware update and you don't have root anymore?
I also updated the firmware of my 997D through my phone settings/about phone/system updates/check for update and after that I first tried to root my phone with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 utility and it didn't work.
Is there any way to rollback our firmware?

i'm pretty sure the update is preventing the root. Badluck for us then? i know a bit of android, but i'm no developer so i can't make a rootfix by my own

The root is not working with that tool
SuperOneClick: Step #7 .. after that, freeze
same here, tried both superoneclick and the binary root, both don't work anymore.
Nice move from alcatel to fix root in an update, if i only knew this before i updated
Also tried Unlockroot 3.0 (which was updated recently) but it doesn't work
ok, found this out, when you shut down the phone, press volume up + power button, phone starts in android recovery mode 3e, any possible chance to get the phone rooted this way?
c'mon guy's i want this phone rooted, getting resolution problems with games (software buttons of ics hide some of the screen) can't start some gps apps because of this stupid software buttons)
anyone dare to try this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?ldao6p9eyjuu1f9
I'm prepared to even pay for a working root, so if anyone has found a way, pls contact me at pm
Any news on this subject? I love the phone, but I miss the SetCPU profiles I used on my previous phone, and a battery meter with percentage...
Nothing yet, I have tried every available method soc,unlockroot,bin4ary etc and nothing works after the firmware update.
Is there anyone who hasn't done the firmware update and can root his phone? If yes please do a factory reset and take a backup of his ROM and upload.
I guess our best bet would be a port of CWM recovery. Maybe I'll backup the stock recovery and use the CWM recovery builder this evening if I have the time

I'll reply to myself: no way, since you need to be rooted in order to dump the stock recovery. Maybe if someone could try to extract the OTA update so we could examine the files and look if the recovery.img is there...
---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------
Ok, I have managed to get something.
Following this tutorial by Bruno Martins (a well known rom cooker who's also a user here) I've been able to dump recovery.img from my Alcatel OT-997D: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html
The tutotial was meant for MT6513 and MT6573 devices, but looks like it works on MT6577 too.
Then, I've used that file with the Clockworkmod recovery builder at http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ and now I have another recovery image, which is supposed to be a CWM port for our Alcatel.
I'm still unsure to flash that recovery, since I can't be sure it will work. Mediatek based phones do not have a fastboot mode, so it's impossible to just try a recovery image without actually flashing it. In fastboot mode, you can boot the phone into a custom recovery without actually flashing it, so you risk nothing if it doesn't work
In case someone daring enough wants to try my custom recovery, I've uploaded it to my Mediafire account: http://www.mediafire.com/?7232aj7jhg7l4e5
The idea is that, with a working CWM recovery, it should be possible to flash Chainfire's SuperSU root zip and easily root the phone.
Of course I warn you this could ruin the recovery image on your phone, so don't risk doing it if you're not sure.

I tried this: http://lenovo-forums.ru/Files/OS/A800/A800_RUS_S107.ZIP

cacofonix3 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No ,i have`nt try any customize ROM.I just Rooted my phone with SuperOneClick.
If anyone is interested, on cacofonix3's request I have build an *experimental* and *untested* recovery and ROM for the A800 based on the P700i_ROW_S107
(the S107 hints it is probably pretty much the same as the Russian one mentioned above)
Warning:
- I do not have this phone, so I am not sure if it is a working ROM, I cannot test myself. It either works, or it does not.
- If you never done flashing before, don't try this, leave it to the experienced people to test first.
- Make sure you have the original ROM to go back to, like this one.
- Never flash preloader / uboot / mbr / ebr
- A800 has different partition table. Never use a scatter file for a different ROM.
Advise:
- First flash the recovery using the v3.1238 flash tool, and see if that works
- Put the ROM on the SD card
- Next boot into recovery and use that to flash the ROM.
- Also advised to wipe cache and data after flashing
- I do not have this phone, so I am not sure if it is a working ROM, I cannot test myself
Info:
The ROM is essentially the one described here, but with a800 kernel/modules/firmware and also a v0.01 marker to clearly indicate 'beta'.
The A800 is pretty similar as the P700i, except higher resolution, one button less, uses the MT6577T rather than MT6577, and I suspect uses the MT6628 rather than MT6620 radio subdie. As a result, when flashing this ROM, one of the following may happen:
- It does not work at all : solution flash factory ROM again
- GSM may not work : solution flash factory ROM again. OR: The GPS may work and also pick up Galileo...
- GPS/Wifi/BT may not work : we may work around this by swapping out some libraries. Or: The GPS may work and also pick up Galileo...
- Icons may appear smaller : should be OK, as it is a bigger schreen.
- 4th button is missing: Use buttonsavior as workaround for the recent apps button.
ROM and recovery can be downloaded here. Flash tool and USB driver from here
Ok, given that i receive no feedback, neither positive nor negative, but it is a rather untested and experimental ROM, I removed the download again.

You will have to show some screen shots to show exactly what you are doing, and where you get the error. Also, which version of the flash tool are you using.
Hey cybermaus,
I accidentally uninstalled all of apk in the internal storage of this phone, using wondershare mobile go, how can i reflash everything to stock settings? i can't install the settings.apk =(

Not sure what you mean with 'flash tool drivers': the VCOM drivers are the ones you need. Also I know nothing about missing DLL.
hey thanks cybermaus i did it! :laugh: just followed your blog, but the rom is so slow the i dowloaded the A800_RUS_S107, what other roms can i use?
I cant reinstall the official ROM, so then ROOT and then install cybermaus' ROM.

Much appreciated once again ! I was looking for a guide to flash and i was wondering if this is a good guideline ? Anything im missing ? Thank you so much man !!!
Step by step guide to Flash stock rom:
1.If your phone is not already soft bricked, back up whatever you want. External SD card is fine. If your phone is soft-brick then say goodbye to your data and skip this step.
2. Uncompress all the files you downloaded from this thread into a directory where you can remember. Including the ROMs.
3.Shutdown your phone if its not in a bootloop. If it is skip this step.
4.Open "Device Manager" on your Windows PC.
5.Plug in your phone through the micro USB cable. A device will show up for a few seconds in "Device Manager". After that, it will disappear again!
6.Recognize the device tree where it appeared, and wait for it as you unplug and plug in your phone again (if bootloop, its automatic!)
7.Catch it with a right click as it appears! Then choose "Update Drivers" and pick the directory where you uncompressed the drivers you downloaded above. Its ok if after catching it the device disconnects. You only need to install the drivers now.
8.Assuming the drivers are correctly installed, run the Smart Phone Flash Tool.
9.Click on scatter-loading and choose the scatter file "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" of the ROM you want to flash.
10.Make sure the checkbox "DL DA All With Check Sum" is CHECKED
11.Click on "Firmware->Upgrade" button.
12.Plug in your powered down phone via the USB cable again. See it flash.
13.When a big green circle appears on the screen, your are done!

Thanx bud, unfortunately i dont have TWRP or CWM installed or know how to install it.
I see you said if i want to change from stock to custom but you gave me stock images ? Confused
I take it S124 is the ROM before the kit kat update, think i would prefer a stock phone for now, do i just download the stock rom with SP Flash tool, has anything else changed ?
Thank you. Regards

Can someone pls help me?
I also tried to flash the files again, but no response. The SD card is recognised. So I can copy files into the phone. But no other response from phone.

Hi. You must reflash again your phone. Because in this moment your preloader is messed up you must reinstall drivers.
After drivers reinstall you should be abble to flash again.
Tell me if you have problems !
Good Luck.

I could not finish the reflash using MTKDroid tools.
Hey Stympy,
The phone stopped responding. When I switch on, it just shows Lenovo logo and sticks there. No further response. It doesn't go to recovery mode (power button+ volume up)!
I think I am in a deep s**t now.
It seems the phone is shut down from inside!
Can you please get me out?!
Thanks a ton!

I downloaded the files as suggested in your post.
However, I could not flash anything into my phone. So I tried to use MTKDroid tool to open the phone in TWRP recovery mode and installed the TWRP_v2.7.1.1_P780_ROW_KK_Corrected.zip in recovery mode. After this, I rebooted into recovery again, and tried to install the P780_ROW_S226_8GB_KIT_KAT.zip thro recovery. But that ended in failure.
When I try to flash the ROW using SP FLash tools, this is the log I am getting. I do not see any action in the tool except all the options grey out! I had installed the USB drivers and my phone is being detected in the MTKDroid tool, but not in the SPFlash tool.
Now the phone is starting, but none of the modules work, like sim card, contacts, apps, store, etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch!:good::good::good:

Dear Stympy,
After trying many ROM and updates, I could finally flash official updateota from Lenovo, which seems working.
My phone is up and running now with the KitKat 4.4.2 P780_ROW_S220_140722.
However, the internal storage seems to be a problem in this version. It says the internal memory is full and I am not able to access the internal memory. Is there any way out? Also if I flash the ROM given by you, will it work?
Thanks a lot for being there!:good:

Flash S226 and OTA update till S228 and see what is going on ! Be careful to flash the firmware you need !
I do not know if your phone is 4GB or 8GB. Here is the firmware.
Good Luck.
I rooted my Acer B3-A10 tablet with the latest King Root. I purchased then installed SuperSU Pro and successfully updated the binaries. I wanted to use Chainfire's product and support his efforts. I follow him on XDA. After the SuperSU installation my tablet will not boot. I can get into its recovery mode and into fastboot. ADB does not work in the recovery mode. I have a backup.ab file but can not install it without ADB access. I can not find a factory recovery image to flash. Any suggestions?
I took out my SD card then selected update from external source. Several strange folders were displayed including one that was labelled Do Not Panic. None of them were functional. I still have not determined what I can do next. I loaded the source code for my tablet into Android Studio and created a functional emulated device but I can't transfer it to the tablet.
did you ever find a way to fix this as this has happened to me too.
i rooted with kingroot and installed supersu by way of supersume pro
Sad to say to you guys but supersume pro is not working anymore with the latest devices. the app is no longer updated. lucky it works for me but i used the basic one or the free i mean. Not the pro.
I rooted my Nextbook Ares 11 and now my touch screen dont work like it poorly calibrated can somebody help me fix that need detailed instructions for noobs

I factory reset my tablet many times. This time the factory reset would not work. My file system was corrupted.
Flash your phone and install official stock rom

I couldn't find any Acer B3-A10 firmware. See my other posts regarding firmware / images. When I called Acer to request the firmware, they informed me I had to send the tablet in to get it flashed.

Thank you for the link
I rooted my Acer again then tried to switch to SuperSu using Super-SUMe and now my tablet won't boot. The wipe data / factory reset does not work. The apply update from external storage does not work. Flashing from ADB Fastboot does not work. As a result, I can't use then link above. Any suggestions?
