Hey there all fellow XDA members, i have encountered a problem with my p780 8gb, i bought it from Malaysia in the beginning of the year,
this morning i woke up wondering why the alarm didnt go off and saw my phone stuck at the boot screen.
I didnt do anything but update the phone a week ago via the lenovo updater to kit kat, i rooted it in Jelly Bean but didnt do it yet when i updated to Kit Kat, ive tried resetting, clearing cache & it doesnt work, im not too sure what to do but i was thinking of going back to Jelly Bean, if anybody has links to a good rom that will work for me that will be really awesome.
Thank You ! :good:

Thank you Stympy ! is there possibly a guide to do all of this ? So basically you saying i must just reflash it with that rom ? Is that a customised rom with all the unused apps possibly ? Thank You !

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!

Hey there Stympy, could you possibly tell me, are there different modem drivers for the phone in the file i downloaded ? Cause my 1st sim that works on 3g at 900 mhz doesnt want to work no more. Was thinking of just flashing with the original s124 that you posted a while back http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/general/lenovo-p780-8-gb-stock-rom-s124-140403-t2742170 .

Did you tried all my posted modems in How about some modems post?
Be carrefoul use those modems from folder: Modems for S221 LATEST UPDATE.
Be carrefoul all modems who worked in S123, S124 ar no more working in S214,S221,S222.
You are going to flash them for nothing.

This modems are to be flashed from TWRP or CWM.
You cannot flash from stock recovery.
Iff you want to change your stock recovery to custom here are the stock images.

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

I tried this: http://lenovo-forums.ru/Files/OS/A800/A800_RUS_S107.ZIP
It is stable, have ROOT possibility, English and Russian language. In Chinese forums i saw the new one, but i cant download it.
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.

Getting SP flash tool error 8038.
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 =(
or can i push settings.apk using root file manager?

how can i flash it, can you provide me step by step please? :\

hey i wanna know how did you flash it ? cause there is no install from zip card in the recovery
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.
The factory ROM is dead. I can't see the apps, anything, only system settings. When I made a factory reset it says the following:

Sooo.. i understand that you have allready root rights.
Iff you do... here is an ideea:
1. go to android market and download RebootManager
2. install.
3. this app has the power to make you happy .
4. press rebootmanager > press reboot to recovery... give app root right...
5. and... voila you are in recovery. Custom recovery(if and only if you installed the right and good recovery for your phone)
hope this helps you.
Ohh.. one more think: TWRP is way better then CWM. My opinion.

Hi. I am sory that is not working.
I have thinked about what you sad. Try this:
1. Load the scatter file that is in the firmware: MT6572_Android_scatter.txt
2. Try to flash without the accumulator pluged off.
3. Plug the cable after you pressed firmware upgrade button.
If this is not working, i will try to find something that is working, when i will have some time. From time to time check this post maybe i will find something and i will upload here.
Good luck.

Ok. It is better then nothing. Use it well. And good luck with custom ROM.
Sent from my Lenovo P780
i dont know ha i think nothing might be better!!! i will try do this fake lenovo tomorrow as that fone is better than this samsung even tho its a fake
HELP PLS
I have P780 with 4.2.2. When I tried to flash a new ROM, it abruptly stopped and now the phone starts, but crashes all the apps. Not even the System Settings are accessible. Both sim cards not recognised, play store doesn't work, none of the apps work, i can see the list of apps, but of no use.
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.
Thanks a lot for your time!

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:
Some light at last

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.

Seems like you need to install a new rom on your phone. Do you have a custom recovery? If yes, what recovery do you have?
I can give you a new rom and instructions on how to install it, but you will need CWM or TWRP for that.
Cheers,
Kuba P.

If you don't have any custom recovery then you want to flash stock rom of your android.

No matter bro I will flash with stock rom. Please tell me process and files to use. I never ever flashed before so this will be the first time for me. I will go with your process step by step. I have pc also but it will be better by my phone only.

You need to do some research before you make things worse. You will have to have a pc. Then it is a simple matter of flashing the device which will wipe it completely.

Watch these YouTube video. You get flashing procedure in SP flash tool and download link of stock rom in video description.
You need SP flash tool to flash your android.
Download from here
Sorry for saying this , but you should be aware that Rooting a device has its own ups and down/
You should have researched more and must have had a custom recovery incase things go awry.
Now that things have gone bad , the only option you have is flash a rom for your device using SP Flash Tool.
Google for your phone model and download firmware and flash the rom
If you have any trouble finding a rom or flashing it , please feel to contact me.

Make sure you have driver for your device installed properly.
