[Q] How to root updated stock rom s227 ?? - Lenovo P780

I was using a rooted s226 stock rom. Because of ota update failed even after intalling stock recovery i did intall a fresh stock rom s226 and updated to s227 through ota. Now, i am unable to root the updated s227 stock rom again. The previous scatter files for s226 doesn't seem to work on s227. Please help me to root it back.

I tried all 3 scatter files plus the default one and I got the following results:
1) For default scatter file, I got 8038 error.
2) For 1st scatter file in 8gb folder, I got no error but remains 0% loading progress even after I kept my phone plug in for 5 mins.
3) For 2nd and 3rd scatter files, I got same error code "BROM ERROR :?? (8)".
Even after all these attempts I created my own scatter file using MTK Droid Tools and got the same error code 8038.

using needrom sites. this is the one working rom needrom site's p780 (update rom). Others did not work.
is it work i change only scatter file of the rom with worked rom scatter.
there's a different version of CWM/TWRP for Chinese base and ROW base ROMs. I think they have different partition layout. Most, if not all, ROMs from needrom requires Chinese base.

For ROW, I use this:
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/1526-recovery-и-root-для-lenovo-ideaphone-p780/
For Chinese based ROMs, I use Mobile Uncle tool to install one. Description is in Chinese though. Be careful if you don't read Chinese and use Mobile Uncle to download, there are several versions for P780, some for ROW some for Chinese ROMs.
But this one seems to be a TWRP for Chinese based ROMs that's in English:
http://dl.vmall.com/c088c04a97
Both can be installed from MobileUncle if they are in the root of your SDCARD.
one quick tip, if you use mobile uncle to flash recovery, after flashing it will ask you if you want to reboot to recovery. don't touch anything at that pop up for about 30s, then press cancel. then you should be good to go. you not it will not be successful.

İt was not work for me friend. recovery mode did not open when flashed with mobil uncle. Only working recovery is offiicial rom's recovery.
i flashed it with mobil uncle. But still cant flash anything with this recovery, or sp flash tool.
Only way to rom installing is Offical rom with sp flash tool. CAnt install custom rom any way.
when you say "did not open" what does it mean?
there are several things that may cause this to go bonkers:
1) wrong recovery image for your ROM, i.e. ROW recovery on Chinese ROM
2) recovery is not downloaded correctly, mobile uncle download may not be complete and you flashed it
3) the wait 30s tip not followed. seems like a bug that it's nit finished flashing but it thinks it has, that's why wait about half minute at the pop up
4) later version of stock ROM it will auto reflash stock recovery at reboot! what I did to avoid this is comment off every thing in /system/etc/install-recovery.sh or you can simply rename this file to something else if you don't have init.d hook in it.

btw, there are some sp flash roms available with already recovery in English and Chinese, would you like a link to this? are you trying to get Chinese ROM with Chinese recovery or ROW ROM with recovery?

Solved!
Problem was about driver. İ installed right p780 driver and sp flash tool driver. After installed both i flashed.

English CWM Please
Someone Please Make a Simple Guide With Links To English CWM.
Since this is a Mediatek Processor Based Device.. The Rooting should be quite easy. For Noobs Use the Bin4ry Rooting Tool. Very Easy & it Even Installs SuperSU
BUT I did not find a reliable English Language CWM. Do not want TWRP (Multiple Bad Experiences).
CWM is simple & appears safe. Hence A Humble Request.
Installing a Recovery is Fairly Simple. Install Mobile Uncle Tools AFTER Rooting... Start It & It will ask for Root Rights.. Give it.. Thereafter there is a simple 'Recovery Update' Button. Mobile Uncle Tools English Version is Available in Play Store!
Since Lenovo has launched P780 in India, an English Language Phone is available. Please Provide English CWM & users will have a GREAT Experience.
Yeah, I'm also looking for CWM in English for Chinese ROM. If anybody has a link, I would be very grateful
I have p780 with stock rom 115ROW, so this is not chinese version... How to upgrade to latest ROW rom? After that, how to root phone and install custom recovery for ROW roms? There's Miui on 4pda which is custom row rom I think... Thanks
CWM 6.0.1.5 - english (flash using mobileuncle or sp flashtool)

Dear Stympy,
I tried flashing both the versions (S226 and S228) given in your post. However, neither worked. It always failed in the recovery. Then I tried to flash an OTA S220 which worked (as per my last post). Later there were three official updates shown up in my phone, S226, S227 and S228 (of course, one by one). I just updated them and now I am on S228.
Thanks a lot for all the help!
I will bother you if we get a 5.0 for P780 (8GB).
Till then, :good:

Dear Stympy,
My latest ROM S228 is working well.
However, I am facing a problem in accessing my phone memory. I am attaching snapshot of my storage. When I connect it to laptop, it just shows a Lenovo_Suite which installs a program to share my mobiles capabilities on laptop. My phone memory is not visible from laptop.
What is this emulated folder about? It seems to be a copy of my SD card..but not full. Where is this folder located? Is it eating from my phone memory? Can I delete it?
Please advice!
Thanks!

Hi. Yes you cannot acces the internal memory on the row firmware. I did notice this problem, but was no problem for me because i have sd card. I recomend that you buy one minimum 16 gb class 10.
Do not erase the emulated folder. Seems that system uses that folder.

Thanks! I put the preloader.bin from your link into the S228 directory and removed the "preloader_pradai_row.bin". I still get the message "Unrecognized ROM detected". I guess I have some screwed up ROM, the only ROM I could ever write over it was some older MIUI version (didn't try that many different ROM's though). If you want to have a closer look at my ROM, I can pm you a dl link - it probably would be a waste of time though.
Edit: my phone was made before 03.2014, I am quite certain.
Edit2: Not so certain anymore, because of that ROM date..

No Network error after flashing Vibe 2.0 UI on my Lenovo P780

So, I flashed a ROM by Baralajbi (needrom:http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-p780-4-4-2-vibe-ui-2-0/comment-page-2/#comments) of Vibe 2.0 UI for my Lenovo P780 4GB ROW Kitkat and now I cannot get a netwoek.

why dont you flash TWRP or CWM via mobile uncle tool (available on playstore). follow this threade
original recovery will check MD5 and it will abort if verification fails.

I know.. If its just baseband maybe you can just copy the modem only (make backup of the old modem in system--etc--firmware before replacing. . . I usually name it to modem.bak) using root explorer. . ive flash this rom and everything is working .. Signal is bad nd tried to change modem by the above method.
You can replace your recovery with TWRP that works properly with kitkat. download twrp an flash it using sp flash tool. Just tick recovery and untick everything else.. Double click recovery and replace with twrp recovery image. Select download. Not firmware upgrade... Tick DA DL AL... and flash.. Ive manage to change my recovery...

I just realized that (noob I am) that after installing this Vibe 2.0 ROM, i lost the root priveleges. And then I had problems with SP Flash tool too so couldnt replace the modems and such. Thanks a ton guys!
Although I am too scared to try this ROM again cuz I cant flash it because of drivers not getting detected on my laptop by the SP Flash tool. Can someone upload the rooted version of the rOM or help me in someway? I really liked Vibe 2.0 UI and want it on my phone

First describe what is your current firmware. Second, see if you have custom recovery like TWRP installed.
After that describe what firmware do you want to install.

For the ROMs I want Cyanogenmod 11 or if not possible Android M from this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...android-m-preview-lenovo-p780-row-cn-t3210473
My current firmware is P780_ROW_8G_S228_150112. Android 4.4.2
I am not sure what recovery I have. I completely wiped my system too.

Ok. Go to Q&A section/Rooting tutorial for KitKat.
There you will find the way to install Custom Recovery TWRP.
After you install TWRP you can install any custom KitKat from here.
Good luck.

When I try that the Flashing tool it says error 5054
I tried reflashing the same old ROM that I had but after I do that there is a new problem. Bootloop
When i boot the phone on the bottom left corner it says "tool dl image fail"
edit: I managed to fix that by enableing da dl checksum.
I still need help with this. And im pretty sure it has something to do with the S228 version. How do i downgrade to S227 or S226?
I finaly managed to install Android M but I have some problems. IMEI error, NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x10 when I open WiFi and the google keyboard keeps crashing all the time.
