Hi All!
Since this is my first tutorial, I am asking xda-developers' seniors' permission to post this.
I managed to root and install ROM on my P780, and I notice that there is no simple tutorial to root or/and install CWM and ROMs, so I thought why don't I do my own simple tutorial, especially for beginners like me?
1. ROOTING
Actually, rooting is simple for this phone. I used Framaroot for my phone. Thanks to Alephzain (search Alephzain framaroot in xda-developers forum). Just download Framaroot 1.6.1 from his tutorial, install it, and follow the instruction. Simple.
2. CWM
I know there's a lot of easy ways out there, but I used Mobileuncle for mine. Open PlayStore, search for Mobileuncle MTK Tools, download, install. You can get many CWM 6.1 img type out there for P780 (sorry I'm denied to post links), put it inside your SDcard. Then, open Mobile uncle, tap Recovery update, find your img file name. To find out there's CWM installed, just reboot to CWM when finished, or press volume up + volume down + power button when phone turned off.
3. ROM
I managed to find many available roms in needrom site. Some use CWM and some use Flashtool. I don't know, but I failed all ROMs that use CWM, so I'll tell you how to use Flash tool.
First, download flashtool and MTK drivers on your PC (I use Windows 7). Then, download your desired ROMs or stock ROM. There are direct links in the needrom site. Just register to see the links.
Install MTK drivers first. Then run Flashtool. click scatter-loading. Find MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt in the downloaded ROM folder. Make sure DA DL All With Check Sum box is checked. Click firmware upgrade. Turn off phone. Connect via USB.
Wait until finished. (Green Circle Pop Up Window). Done. Restart phone.
Hope it helps. Press thank if I helped.

That's what I'm saying. It looks like the only long-use device with developer support are the MAXX line of devices from Motorola. But those are all Verizon exclusive, and I'm on T-Mobile here in the US. Also, the older devices use OMAP chips, which have also lost almost all support from everyone.

You have a great tutorial there, but if it's not too much to ask, can you post also an english version of it (google translate does a pretty poor job)?

Help with P780 bootloop
I realize this is long, but I thought it best to be as specific as possible....
A 'little' history:
I'm fairly used to working with Android but would only consider myself an intermediate user. That said, I'm an experienced PC/Linux user and am not afraid of terminals etc. All things considered, I made a pretty lame mistake while tired one evening.
I own a Lenove P780 and rooted it using Framaroot (because I was seriously tired of getting dangerously low on storage due to only 4 gb internal; 8gb not available in Indonesia). However, on this ROM version (P780_ROW_S115) there wasn't an option to install to extsd, so I needed a program to do so. I used Link2sd but needed to repartition my sd card first in order to do continue. I used Aparted to create a 1gb swap file (amazing what this did for my RAM usage), 4gb ext3 install partition and the rest simple storage formatted using FAT32 (it's a 32 gb Sandisk Extreme). Then, I moved almost all of my downloaded apps and a few included apps to the external sd ext3 partition. Sweet, no more space issues.
I then installed a CPU governor, can't remember the name off hand now. Set a number of parameters and found further performance benefits, especially battery usage. Following that, I then installed ROM Manager Lite. Nice tool. Now is the point when I really wanted to make a back up of my ROM, so I attempted to install CWM or TWRP recovery using ROM Manager Lite's update/download section to no avail. I ended up using MobileUncle to do the trick; found out the version of TWRP that many forums stated worked with the P780 (2.5.0.0 if I'm not mistaken), copied it to the root of the extsd card and installed with MobileUncle. All great so far...
Until I went to make a back up. When in the graphical interface of TWRP while ROM running there was the option to back up to internal or external, I ticked external. It then rebooted into the actual recovery UI, however eemc was the only option to back it up to and it stated the external sd had 0MB. I tried this many times and still the same issue; can't make back up and external not recognized. Google to the rescue. Found out that perhaps it could be an issue with improperly formatted storage cards. I had to assume since I have 3 partitions on the card, that it can't read the storage one. In order to test the theory, I was about to buy a new card, format it to FAT32 with that being the only partition on it and attempt a back up. However, before I had the chance to do that, I decided to try a provided Recovery in MobileUncle. I thought I had chosen a ROW version but I obviously hadn't and turns out it was a Chinese one... Man, if only I were a bit more patient (read: not so stupid)...
Anyway, of course you already know the scatterfile ect. is different from ROW and now I'm stuck in bootloop. I've studied my options and am going to use Flashtool but have a question before I do any more damage... He..he..he... Should I simply use the official ROM from Lenovo (I have ROW_s115 and can only find official ROW_s119 online; no OTA updates available prior to this mishap in Indonesia) and only tick the Recovery box in Flashtool, or can I simply load the s119recovery.img, tick the Recovery box and go for it? I assume that it would be better to use the full stock ROM instead of simply using the Recovery.img in Flashtool considering it may need to redo the filesystem as well... Not sure really. What do you think would be best? Also, would the recovery in the stock ROM P780_ROW_s119 be the same as the stock ROM s115?
Any expert (or any) advice would be very appreciated... Thanks in advance!

Is absolutely important!!! If you have Asian version rom on your phone (s135, s125, etotalk, etc), you must have the Asian recovery. If you have a world rom on your phone (s119, s110, etc), you must have the world recovery.
Try this recovery... http://d-h.st/5U4 (in this zip file is both version).
Hi, try this blog about lenovo p780, my be you find answers. http://lenovop780en.blogspot.ro/
Sorry for my english.
my experiences with this device
I will share my experience with this device.
I got it with a VIBEROM_V1.0_1347_3_ST_P780.
gives a good impression, most apps work very fine.
but
root wasn´t possible (see needrom thread, now there seems to a way how to root it)
my external bluetooth keyboard don´t work
that is a nogo - so I flashed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/rom-lenovo-p780-pre-rooted-official-t2553725
S123 worldwide rom --> no external keyborad
chinese rom S135 --> no external keyborad
within this rom there is offered an update to viberom VIBEROM_V1.0_1405
I did so: no multilanguage, no external keyboard
then http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-p780-2/
German ok, but no external keyboard.
--> I sold the device on evbay.
Don´t get me wrong. It a good device, good screen, good touch.

Hi, I´ve ported a rom for BluDash 5.5 based on Resurrection, just let me know if someone want for share
Few questions about your port...
1: Is the default camera working properly?
2: Are you able to connect to any Bluetooth device?
3: When you reboot the device, are any manual changes you make kept? Example. Background, icons, etc?
I have created multiple boot animations and logos for this device. I have a variant of CM 12.1 but the issues I asked above are preventing me from posting everything.
Any input will be appreciated.

Rom Ported Blu Dash 5.5
Hi, well, I've ported this rom keeping in mind that I have not found no one a custom rom across the web, phone is not mine but I behaved for someone and the reason is that the original rom already had problems with the length battery charging and then booting, he stayed in the logo and the last time no longer started, I clarify that I am not a developer, I'm just an enthusiast and my english is very bad.
Consider the following points; Of 12 roms that I ported these have different bugs would therefore be better not to share, this rom is lightweight and has good length battery, I think it is based on cm but not sure, the native camera works well, just need SD card, bluetooth working properly, it boots normal, there is nothing to set back, known bug; when connected to the PC does not recognize internal memory but yes SD, I think it is a minor problem, give it a day to stabilize better, I used recovery Philz Touch, anyway if someone wants to improve it you feel free to do so, it's for Blu Dash 5.5 firmware D470u but I think that rolls in others.
Is the ROM good for everyday use?
It seems you ported it somehow to run of the sdcard not internal memory. Are you able to use both internal memory and sdcard?
TD378
ROM is not ported with propose of run from SD card, probably characteristics from origin, phone runs properly almost twenty days without major probs, I think is good for a day use, of fact it haven't a SD card inside, runs without it
What are the minor issue you have with current port? They may help me with my port.

Well, minor issues are;
- Some apps like Memo from Chensi ask for SD card but others like Colornote not, I think that for some reason some apps can't read internal memory.
- when a notification is on status bar I displayed to down scrollbar but at third or fourth time it's unable.
- When connected to pc don't appear internal memory but yes SD card.
I didn't see more issues, probably few errors from porting, considering that 2 of these issues keep relation with internal memory
The screen on my device cracked causing it to no longer be useful. If anyone wishes to continue work on this rom, please let me know and I will provide you the information I have completed.

Hello everybody, I'm just new here. I need your wise help with a Lenovo S820e.
First of all, the story: Got a Lenovo S820e from a chinese guy. Received a smartphone with lots of chinese garbage on the rom including pornography and things like that, so I decided to look for some guides to reinstall an official ROM for this Lenovo. Honestly I'm a beginner with these things and took me a while after realizing how to do all the proccess.
After reading some basics and check some youtube videos, I went to NeedROM website and looked for this ROM:
***can I post a link?***
Realized that this is the only ROM version (some updates here) but finally the only one that I've found on the internet.
I followed the steps (took me some days, lol) to update via sdcard posted on that ROM link (here the steps):
Install ROM:
Need a memory card, create folder sdfuse and copy to install on this ROM (QSB tailed).
a) normal phone boot into Android OS, use a USB cable to connect PC, the pop-up screen, select USB mass storage devices, and turn on USB storage device;
b) New sdfuse folder, unzip the downloaded firmware, and copied file QSB to the phone sdfuse directory;
Note: Make sure before upgrading phone there is a certain amount of power
2. T card upgrade process
Long press VOLUP + POWER_KEY enter droidboot, a menu appears and select the fourth SDUPDATE, the bottom of the screen you can see the progress and status upgrade
See "SDCARD UPDATE SUCCESS!!!" Indicates a successful upgrade
After some tries, realized how to enter that droidboot (Volume down + power button... after seeing the lenovo logo release the power button). :good:
To shorten this story I finally got a "Lenovo S820e android 4.1.2" with an official ROM, rooted (to get rid of these chinese apps, no offense intended) and without google apps. Here is the part where I spent another few days to install gapps because didn't accomplish with adb loader, cwm recovery, etc.
So I found this guide (russian site, translated with google help) on how to install google apps without CWM, a something like a manual installing:
****????****
Installed the root explorer and copy-pasted the system files to the internal storage, permissions and rebooted the device.
But after boot I got a look-a-like, useless "Assistive touch-thing-app" ( I don't know exactly what is ) that I cannot find how to uninstall it. Note that this was after (at last) installing gapps (20121011 signed, hard to find the correct version for this Lenovo S820e )
Video: https: //youtu.be/ yhIwf3OHAUU
Can I post a youtube video please? I have uploaded a video with my problem. Help me please. Got denied access because I'm a NEW member here.
I need help, if someone have seen something like this "assistive touch-thing" and know how to uninstall / deactivate it will be great and I will pray for you :fingers-crossed:
I don't know i I'm too newbie.
Sorry if I have grammar errors or bad english. I'm not native.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards.
Hi guys. I was checking the forums of emui here in XDA and I saw a guy mentioning (here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...ing-xposed-t3338765/post66250513#post66250513 ) the HRT team from China (HUAWEI ROM TEAM) is always developing custom roms for HUAWEI devices and found this rom:
http://club.huawei.com/thread-10756653-1-1.html
I used google translate to translate the webpage and it seems to be pretty new and it includes Xposed frameword which for me is super! And also it's based in the latest firmware 130 for our HONOR 5C. If some of you know chinese or how to get proper instructions of how to install the ROM would be great.
Thanks you all! and let's try to get it together!
Hi !
It's possible we have a tutoriel for the installation in english please ?
Thanks !

Hi DarkLink, that is what I'm asking. Someone who knows chinese to have proper isntructions. Cheers
The methods is traditional...
Recovery -> Wipe All -> and flash maybe...
I tried it, its not working at all, got stuck at blank screen after boot logo, unable to reset. End up updating with stock rom using, vol- vol+ power button.
One thing to note is that the chinese huawei glory 5c model is launched with volte and there is no seprate modem update we can flash.
Woooh.. I see.
Well... I think this rom is not flashable now !

Hi everyone, I recently bought a Xiaomi Mi box3c and was very disappointed with custom rom and the interface that it came with on it. So surfing the web there are a few tutorials on how to change it and I tried a few but they are not that great either, till finally someone patched the stock android TV Lean back Launcher for it, it took some tinkering but I got it working, this may not be the best way but this is how I did it form the start. This is not my work, I just followed instructions and I have gathered them here. As I am lazy Im not gonna provide pictures for every step but it’s pretty straight forward.
For using some the apps during the process you will need usb mouse cause not every apps supports Mibox remote configuration
As I am a new poster I am not allowed to post any links so change every dot word to an actual . for the links.
1. Turning on the Box and Changing to English
1.1 Download this apk provided by Xiaomi veterans on forum, it’s a shortcut to the stock android setting
drive dot google dot com/open?id=0B16bkj0QSkYnc0k2UUFTU05vSHM 1.2 copy the apk to a normal usb flash drive and connect to mibox and install the apk
1.3 Run it and now you can change the language as in any android device.
2. Downgrading Firmware
All of the root options available for this device are for the older firmware so you need to downgrade the device. (it’s much easier than it sounds.)
2.1 Download the original firmware for MDZ-16-AA from this link: (both are the same thing)
yadi dot sk/d/Yvr1jYflm6GZR androidfilehost dot com/?fid=745425885120695554 2.2 Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file to a formatted usb tick (Fat32). (There should be two files: xiaomi_update and update.zip)
2.3 Put the USB flash drive in your Mi Box and boot in recovery
(How to boot into recovery: Unplug power > press and "hold back + ok" button while plugging the power back in. The remote should be nearby and facing the box. Do not let go of the buttons until it booted in recovery. for some devices its "home + menu" button instead of the previous one.
2.4 the flashing should start and finish automatically. don’t connect the device to WIFI after this step until you have disabled the intelligent update.

3. Rooting the device
I tried almost all of the rooting apps, none of them worked for me but I have seen people insisting that permroot works for them so I put the link for that, using it is pretty straight forward, download, install on device and try to root with it.
but in case that doesn’t work Kingoroot Windows app will definitely work. this is how to root with kingoroot. For this method you need a USB type A --> USB type A cable.
3.1 First download the kingoroot desktop app from their website
3.2 Install the app on your windows desktop
3.3 Go to your mibox device setting (mibox setting not android stock from part 1) and in Security setting and Enable USB/ADB debugging, device will restart for this setting to change.
3.4 connect your mibox to your desktop and wait for the device to be installed and recognized by windows. (If you are using windows 10 it will detect the device by itself)
3.5 Run the kingoroot app on the windows and let it detect the device, as soon as it detects the device root option will appear, click on root option it and wait
3.6 Kingoroot will try to install an app on your mibox, allow it and then this will continue and finish the rooting process.
3.7 Disable USB/ADB debugging, so you can connect USB Flash drives to the device again.
3.8 Check for the root stastus with rootchecker.

4. How to flash TWRP to device
4.1 download the TWRP App from this link:
dl dot twrp dot me/twrpapp/me.twrp.twrpapp-18.apk 4.2 Download the android ROM and TWRP image together from this link:
goo dot gl/q5DGED password : Mibox2015 4.3 open the zip file and copy this image file to your USB Flash drive
MDZ-16-AA-AndroidTV-V1\TWRP-RECOVERY\twrp-mdz-16-aa.img
4.4 Connect the USB flash drive to the box and copy the image to device storage
4.3 Install the TWRP app on the device using the USB flash drive
4.4 Run it and select first two boxes.
4.5 Go to flash TWRP option and wait for app to ask permission from SU, grant permission.
4.6 Select TWRP flash and select flash from image. Select the image that you copied to device storage.
4.7 Boot into recovery (by this time you have root access and it’s better to boot to recovery with one of the reboot apps ex. Quick Reboot)
(Now you have TWRP, but the problem is every time you reboot the box, the stock rom overwrites the TWRP files and it goes back to Default recovery, to solve this we need to replace the Rom itself too)
5. Replacing the Rom
5.1 While still in TWRP page, make a small boot backup just so TWRP makes a folder in storage of your device.
5.2 Reboot the device from TWRP (reboot system)
5.3 Now using a File manager (I used X-plore) copy the Rom folder to the same backup folder that was created by TWRP in your storage.
Copy This folder:
MDZ-16-AA-AndroidTV-V1\TWRP\BACKUPS\11608V180037788\2014-12-31--18-01-42_6.9.7.949
To this folder: (Which is already should be there created by TWRP)
Internal Storage\TWRP\Backups\ (your device’s Serial number)\
5.4 Repeat steps 4.6 & 4.7 again to Flash TWRP again, after booting to TWRP go to restore and select file (2014-12-31--18-01-) to restore, swipe to restore and wait for 10-15 minutes
5.5 After restore is done don’t reboot, go back to TWRP main page, go to Wipe then advanced wipe, select Dalvik, Cache and Data to be wiped. After wipe is done reboot system
5.6 When android system boot is complete, go to setting down below and change the language to English and its done.
I hope it helps

I tried to downgrade my MDZ-16-AA device with the MiBOX3_jurassicpark_gitv_1.3.106.386 file ... but it brings it down only to 1. 3. 114 and not to 1. 3. 106.
Secondly I do not get "ADB Debugging" option. Hence I cannot connect my Mi Box to my laptop.
Can anyone help ?
the correct password is : '@'mibox2015
the quotes are only to avoid mention to xda user "mibo" in xda forum...u don't have to write it in...
mibox v1.5.1
I've troubles to root my mibox, I've the 1.5.1 version.
Can you help me, please ?
Mi box 3C v 1.5.1
Can it possible to do the same for version 1.5.1?
I have Mi box 3C v 1.5.1 and I can't even boot into recovery yet.
Add widevine drm in MDZ-16-AA
To complete your notice, I found a way to launch MyCanal and molotov.tv (not tested for netflix yet).
As you know these apps requires widevine drm.
First download
extractor 4.0 and Xiomi 3S official rom
Then extract update.zip and add in root folder of extractor: system.new.dat + system.transfert.list.file_context
Use Extractor.bat to uncompact system.new
On folder go on system\vendor and copy paste lib folder on USB key.
Does anybody know how to go to recovery mode?
HOLD Back + OK and Home + Option doesn't work for my MDZ-16-AA
the system has been automatically updated yesterday.. :crying:
Thank you so much, I got it installed.
Step 1 can be hard because of the chinese language therefor I used this link:
https://www dot cnx-software dot com/2016/04/12/how-to-change-language-to-english-and-install-apps-remotely-on-xiaomi-mi-box-3-enhanced/
at step 2 I made the mistake that I extracted the update.zip aswell. while I needed to keep it zipped.
I used the app RUFUS to make the usbdrive a FAT32 drive.
at step 3 Kingoroot worked for me, although I needed to restart several times to make the ADB debugging connection work.
at step 4 sending the TWRP files, was a bit of a hurdle. It wwas not possible for me to copt them from the USB stick with ES file manager to the device. I needed to use the USB cable to my computer (ADB off) password: "@mibox2015"
At point 5 I was not able to use my remote or keyboard, I needed to turn off ADB!
At the end allot works, but there is still some bugs:
- MIUI still present. eg. when connecting an usb stick you get a chinese menu. and you are able to get into the old system menu
- unable to get NETFLIX to work
- allot of bloatware, apps I can not disable or delete.
- im unable to disable search by microphone in the UI, which is not supported by the remote of the 16-AA
- im unable to edit the tiles in the homescreen to eg. hide the supersu, market etc. and to put PLEX of KODI more in front
Thanks!!!!

I successfully rooted my mibox 3c (MDZ-16-AA) and installed TWRP app and Android TV.
Now I want to go back to the Xiaomi Original Firmware (1.5.25). I tried to use TWRP and the Update.zip, but it did not work. How can I do it? Many thanks!
---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------
I read from a Chinese forum that the 1.4.32 can also be rooted. As far as I know the Android TV is based on the 1.3.106. Does it make any sense to root the MDZ-16-AA with the firmware 1.4.32 and install the Android TV then?
