Hello All,
Bought a Lenovo A560 from China, and all system is in CHinese. I have switched to English, but only the menu. I have looked all over the internet for the ROM for this device, but was unable to find it.
I even contacted the Lenovo representatives here in Romania, and they said that given that the warranty is not international, they cannot help me. Nevertheless, I wonder whether there is still something I could do, maybe install a ROM from a different device having a similar chip, or any ROM that would work for the Android 4.3 OS as this phone has.
As mentioned by other users, the Google Play store is not working, nor the GPS.
But if installing a different ROM, which one should I choose and how do I find it?
Thank you very much in advance. I hope I would find some ansswers given that the phone looks really good and I really wish I could use it.

Greetings everyone, before I made this very first post on the forum I can assure that I used the search option. So this is my little problem. A friend of mine just bought a phone made in China with Android OS (sounds pretty stupid to me). The problem is that the menu contains several sections where the english language is not available, but only chinese.
The most important thing I would like to know is what softwares should I use to upgrade the phone to a better version with full English menu, it would be nice to have Romanian language too but the main issue is to get rid of the chinese thing. The phone is using Android 2.3.6, if anyone could help I could provide all the information about the software versions of the phone. Also I can post a picture or the phone name if this helps with something. Many thanks!
Hi The phone make and model would definitely help. I'm sure you can't be the only person that would need english on that device!
What's the name of the cell....and intalling a new custom rom will solve your problem
Using XDA premium through A5
Press thanks on help
MCT 666 is the name of the phone. Another phone that he just bought is a Daxian XY 100. To be honest I've never heard of them before.
Search for their custom rom
Using XDA premium through A5
Well I did but I couldn't find anything so this is why I'm asking for help. Would Cyanogen help me with this matter?
Hello all,
a friend of mine bought a Huawei G610T in China and now came back to Europe and has the problem, that the phone doesn't have the google apps installed. I tried to find the phone in the forums but it is not listed (or I was too stupid to find it). Does this phone have an equal device, which is listed in the forums? Or can you guys forward me to some threads were a similar problem is described? I googled and searched the forum already but haven't found any useful posts till now. As far as I know, first the bootloader has to be unlocked (is there a general tool maybe for huawei phones?). After that I would need a custom bootloader (unfortunately neither CWM nor TWRP had the device listed) and then just flash the gapps.
Maybe I could also do it with adb if i can get into the fast boot? Also my friend said, that he has some problems with some european apps on the system (regional apps usually (Austrian apps in specific )). So the best thing would be if there is a custom rom available for the device. Unfortunately there is no cyanogenmod. I found a MIUI port, but that was only one specific thread and the link was broken. So maybe there are any other alternatives?
Thanks for the help in advance!
Hi Everyone,
I guess you can say that I am fairly new to Android, but not. Ive had a Samsung S3 for just about two years, but after taking a few drops... that phone is dust.
My GF bought me a Lenovo a766 online and it is a great device. Only issue I am having is -- the phone itself is in Chinese, but the language settings are in English, so I can navigate around the device.
What I am looking to do is:
I want to load on Stock Android... 4.4 (doesnt have to be 4.4, but anything 4+)- right now, this device is on 4.2. And this version doesnt have the Google PlayStore...
Could anyone lead me in the right direction...
I do have the Smart Phone Flash Tool... but I am not entirely sure where to get the actual android Rom...
Honestly I would appreciate any help and advice that anyone could give.
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys!
I have problems with my p70-t, maybe here somebody can say something how to solve it.
I try to install a custom or p70-a ROM on the phone but after spendig days on trying without any success I have no idea how to. Cant't even update (official) via cable because it exits with failure at the end (I did some ROM installing before on other devices so I'm not newbe). After buying I realized the p70-t is for chinese domestic market, so I have no 3G network in Hungary and have (had) a lot of chinese apps. In its present form the phone is far from good...
Is anybody knows here how to or have experience with this phone?
Thanks

Hello.
I had similar problem and found some solution.
First you need to unlock OEM, that is under Developers Options.
After that you should be able to flash it with SP Flash tool or using fastboot method for recovery flash.
Regards.

I'm waiting for this tutorial too! Hope there's something to do! :/
You aren't likely to find your answer on XDA. There is no free method for unlocking the bootloader on Huawei phones (which might not be an issue on the Chinese version). There also is no simple way to manually flash firmware on Huawei phones because they don't want owners (or unscrupulous Chinese merchants) to modify the software.
You would probably need to rebrand your phone to run the international ROM on it and I don't know if rebranding is even possible on this phone--it wasn't on the P20 Pro.
You might want to contact Funky Huawei. It's not a free service but they might at least be able to tell you if running the global ROM on the Chinese hardware phone is possible.
If that isn't an option somebody said there was an unnoficial build of LOS for the M20P. You might be able to flash that which wouldn't be an ideal solution but it would give you access to most Google apps.
Only issue so far is WiFi calling missing on my Chinese version, Google map timeline can't working properly.
I can use okay Google, Google feeds etc...after deleted some related Chinese softwares.
