OK. Here is what mistake you have done.
First You must not flash JB over KK.
SLX is JB. S226 is KK.
Here is what you have to do.
Flash first S124 ROW STOCK or LIFE V07 THIS IS THE ONE I RECCOMEND. Root and install TWRP in stock, for Life you have allready thi root and TWRP.. Then Flash SLX v.26.
VOILA... now all should work fine.
Good luck.
thanks!

Here is the post for Stock links.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/p780-stock-rom-links-t2842399
For root use Framaroot form here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
For TWRP i uploaded.
Look arownd for tutorials for flashing.
Be carrefoul look twice what kind of phone do you have: 4gb or 8 gb. And when is done: before or after 03.2014.
If its made after 03.2014 you must flash with the new preloader. I uploaded here.
Good luck.

The preloader is a part of flashing ROM. When Lenovo made upgrade to the P780 they creeated a new preloader. The upgreade was made in 03.2014. So.. if your phone was made after this date you must replace stock preloader with this one. Here is a picture with an stiker for the phones made after 03.2014.
Hope this made you to understand.

Hey there, XD I'm just going to go back to the STOCK ROM, but the link you gave to S124, everytime I download it at the end it wouldn't finish saying Network Error ? But I'd try it tomorrow at another browser other than Chrome. Then other than that S124 in the link you gave, there's also this ORIGINAL RECOVERY, what is that
for and how can I install it in my phone? Please help me T^T I'm not gonna try any other custom roms anymore, they always have bugs. Flashing the S124 ROM is just like flashing other roms right? So I got that already, but how do I put that Original Recovery thingy?
One last thing, what are those KK stock recovery? Do I need them? After I flash the S124 ROW, I'm gonna update it upto the last version of 4.2.2 and not upto 4.4.2.

Hi. Flashing s124.. yes is the same like other roms.
Original Recovery you must use if and only if you want to use an custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.
KK Recovery i put them there for others who allready use custom recovery and want to OTA further updates from STOCK ROM.
If you flash your stock rom you dont need stock recovery because you allready have.
S124 is the last 4.2.2.
KK is 4.4.2.
Good Luck.

flsh root with 226, problem with signal plz help
hello and thank you for your guide.
after i flash the P780_ROW_S226_4GB_KIT_KAT from your link it worked but I didnt test it for the phone signal. I didnt like the ROM because of small free memory so I tried to flash it again to life0.3 which I had before but it was failing with error "brom error: s_ft_readback_fail (4009)".
Since flash or root was failing, I updated it to S228 from inside the phones interface and decide to keep this ROM 228 but I have problems with the signal. It goes up and down all the time and sometimes i have no signal at all.
Can you please tell me a hint? can I fix the signal problem? the phone with this rom is not rooted which I didnt know before i flash it.
If I can not fix the signal problem can I flash it with another rom and have my phone rooted again?
I have read and tried many things but nothing worked and I am confused cause i dont master rooting and all its tricks.
Thank you for your help

thanx a lot stympy! the modem_P780_V101_Life_Vibe did the trick. not the Modem_P780_v.24_S228 which supposed to work.
The only way I could root was with the iRoot tool.
I would like to learn why my ROM does not allow to flash other roms with flash tool. It was a Stock ROM I guess.
If I flash it from TWRP with a rom that can be flashed with TWRP will I brick my phone? I have P780_s221_LiFe_XVIBE_v09 for example that I tried it before the 226 stock rom and it was working.
I have the IMEI Backed up with mobileuncle. Is that enough if something goes complete wrong so I dont have to total recover the phone?
Anyway, I dont want to tire you with many questions. It is that they are so many articles and it is confusing, and most of them are not working as someone would expect.
Thanx again

Hi. Look what you have to do:
Because you allready have TWRP installed do a full backup. For full backup you need to have an SD Card.
After backup you can flash with TWRP all roms that you want ! be careful that your rom, that you wish to flash must be KitKat! ar your phone get softbrick. That is no problem because you can restore your backup made with TWRP.
Good Luck!

Dear stympy. I need more of your help. I can not flash even the one ROM I want. I have TWRP and I am trying to flash the VIBEUI_V2.0_1507 which the need rom guide says that it should be installed through TWRP. Unfortunately I get an error that "this package is for a P780 devices; this is "p780_ROW".
My phone must be CN cause the text on the battery are in Chinese. Am I right?
Can I flash VIBEUI ROM Over a ROW?
i saw in a thread that you have Life_07. Do you recommended?
If you would like to suggest me a ROM that you think is better and how to flash it ( I remind you that I have S228 ROW now) I would really appreciated.
Thanx again man!

Hi. Indeed your phone is made in china, like all P780.
You have installed ROW firmware, witch is one stable OS and latest KitKat for ROW OS.
If you want to get back to chinese firmware KitKat, you could try Baralajbi firmware from NeedRom site. It is a moded firmware, based on latest stable VIBEIU 2.0, i tested and is pretty good.
For old Jelly Bean, Life 0.7 is my favorite.
All this firmware that i told you about is flashing with SP Flash Tool.
Good luck.

If you want to get back to chinese firmware KitKat, you could try Baralajbi firmware from NeedRom site. It is a moded firmware, based on latest stable VIBEIU 2.0, i tested and is pretty good.
For old Jelly Bean, Life 0.7 is my favorite.
All this firmware that i told you about is flashing with SP Flash Tool.
Good luck.

All of my problems with flashing the ROMs fixed with the SP Flash tool v5. I don't know why everyone suggests v3. In my case after a dead end and a bricked phone, having errors with v3, when I used v5 I could flash anything I like, recovery, rom, stock, custom and all of my problems were solved.
For anyone who is Interested the CN ROMs where better than ROW. With ROW I had problems with modem, sound, even light sensor. With a custom CN ROM by VDT everything worked perfect and light.
cheers!
Problems with mobile data / background processes
Just a question for you p780 owners,
i have the problem that some times mobile data just stop working. it still shows hsdpa but no data flow, only mobile data disable / enable solves the problem.
i´m using life 1.3.3 on the "old" CN 4gb, upgraded to 228 from 226 step by step the russian way (russian orig.) files, and using "modem by xakep"
have data sim card in slot 1, and a second for calls in slot 2
Network mostly used is umts in germany.
maybe someone has a little recommondation maybe for other modem files
another point is application in background isn´t working until screen is ticked on (using LLAMA Location based Profiles).
(having both "problems" throughout different roms from past (life 0.5 to now 1.3.3)

Sorry about my grammar.

But couldn't recover the lost memory.operating system occupied 5GB space . I have no idea what to do any HELP is greatly appreciated
thanks in advance

ok. no problem for that !
small tutorial. Look what you have to do!
download your stock firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/p780-stock-rom-links-t2842399
Use only this 2 tools to flash: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_B98oK4DpK1S1l2bXRkTGxhVFk&usp=sharing
If you use other tools you can corrupt your NVRAM and loose IMEI.
After flash you need to install TWRP. Here is the small tutorial and tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
After TWRP install, you can install any zip file firmware. Here is what i reccommend: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bw-fSKX78W43R0xHSXVMajNucFE&usp=sharing
MIUI 6.1.21 is the file you should install. ROW version.
Good Luck.
Waiting for feedback!
