Permission manager and LED not working
First let me say, great work stumpy!
+ Gallery works better than the previous version 4.11.14
+customization options
Though there are some issues with this:
-Permission Manager does not show up (settings->apps->select app->Manage Permissions does not work)
-LED notification for calls and messages not working (they were not working with 4.11.14 either)
Here's my setup
Lenovo P780 ROW 8GB
Life 0.7

You do not OTA update MIUI 14.12.22 ROW. You must download the ROM, put it on your SD Card or internal memory, restart on TWRP or CWM and flash it from there. Do not forget to wipe everithing dalvig, cache, etc etc.
Good Luck.

Help me on my first flash
I've a newly rooted lenovo p780 ROW running KK4.4.2
Custom recovery TRWP 2.7.1
My first flash failed - miui v5 - I was stuck in bootanimation. I later found out that the ROM was for jb
So this is my first flash.
I have a few questions
I've downloaded version 7 for row from mirror 3 and have the zip file on SD card
1. Have I downloaded the right file?
2. I'm running 4.4.2KK. Is it OK?
3. My custom recovery is trwp 2.7.1? Will it work?
4. What all do I have to wipe in recovery? The options there are cache, data, dalvik, system, internal storage, preload and external SD
5. How long (exactly) to wait during first boot? 20minutes?
Reply as soon as possible. I hate this kk4.4.2. So buggy.

Hi bro, you need to switch base to China ROM (S125, S129, S135) before flashing Vibe ROM if you are on ROW ROM. Directly flash Vibe ROM will cause you end up in a bootloop and possibly corruption of /nvram.
Nevermind, to flash via SP Flash Tool, you will need to press the red button on the bottom top right side and connect the USB cable to begin flashing process.
And by flashing Vibe ROM after repartitioning will cause the partition restore to default too. (2.5GB /data, 1GB /media)
Reply this post if you need assistance.

The one in satanduck thread: P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z is a China based S135 ROM and flashable via SP Flash Tool ROM. After you flash it then you can flash Vibe ROM. Remember do a wipe after flashing the Vibe ROM.

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:

Phone Memory locked
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..

Hi. Here is the link for latest TWRP for ROW edition.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3391260&d=1436077810
After download go to recovery 2.7.1.1 and install from there. DO NOT WIPE.
To flash ROW firmware watch carefuly for the one with ROW mark. Do not flash the ones with CN mark.
Flashing is relatively simple.
1. Download your desired firmware.
2. Copy that zip file on your sd card
3. Reboot in recovery or download one reboot to recovery app from google market and give root rights. That kind of app is mutch better for rebooting directly in recovery.
4. In TWRP go to backup. NOT OPTIONAL. And do a full backup.
5. Now after full backup go to wipe and swipe to wipe.
6. After wipe go to install.
7. Install your firmware.
8 Reboot and wait to firmware to install. This will take longer then usual. Do not be scared.
9. Good Luck.

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.

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.

Hi.
Look in Development area for your stock firmware.
Flash again with SPFlash Tool.
Go to q&a section/rooting tutorial for kitkat. There is a tutorial for installing TWRP safe.
After all this, safe backup your currently installed system. NOT OPTIONAL.
Now after full backup, ONLY AFTER FULL BACKUP you can install other custom firmware. I recommend you to install latest MIUI.
Hope this helps you.
Good luck.

Well thank you for your reply.
I was about to post some more details, like:
I was able to start recovery mode using p780 image.
some ROMs (i think OTA) tried to install. but it stuck with
warning: No file contexts
and after some time it would abort the installation with status 6.
However, this time i think i messed up
It is now stuck at "ASUS" logo on restart
cannot do factory reset mode also.
On top of that my phone doesnt connect to my laptop. (it cant detect )
I think its dead/brick. if you have further rescue suggestions , please do comment.
Thank you for your support.
Regards

Now seriously... To be sure, you must reflash your stock firmware.
If after reflash the phone still have problems, then you have a hardware problem.

Ok let me start from the beginning:
I rooted my phone because of pokemon go. The phone was too slow and could not run this app effectively.
I rooted p780 using kingroot apk (the one with crown icon). removed unnecessary apps like (security, google play books etc...)
My phone was very happy :good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::laugh: untill...
I wanted to explore more what i can do with root. I uninstalled contact manager (IdeaFriend) bbboooommmm.
Even with Contact+ i was not able to add any new contacts.
This made me to explore more about flash and roms.
I had S226 or S228 OTA and I found this Asus Zenfone 5 ROM.
During recovery i used Asus.....
After Asus installation I realized
No English Notification (Only Russian).
No Camera APP
No Necessary GAPPS...
So I tried to become Hero and wanted to reflash Lenovo. and .....rest you know.
Current condition: I have reflashed Asus. because i am not able to find/install the old lenovo rom or any other rom which can support.
But this is temorarily.
Hence i still need support:
I am able to reboot in recovery but need a proper ROM.
Regards

So... You have recovery, system is messed up,... Hmmm...
Look what i propose....
1. download the latest MIUI from Development/MIUI post
2. Put MIUI zip file on sd card any sdcard and insert it on the phone.
3. Reboot to recovery or start to recovery.
4. Go to wipe, advance wipe. Select all except sdcard and otg and swipe to wipe.
5. After wipe go to rebooy and press reboot to recovery
6. After reboot go to wipe and swipe to factory reset.
7. After wipe go to install, browse for MIUI and install.
8. After install is complete reboot to system.
9. Wait till all is completed, this reboot takes longer than usual... Do not be scared.
10. That must be it. Tell me if something goes wrong.
11. Good luck.

Hi.
Dont worry. I am not offended.
Try to get in twrp now. With combination of keys pressed all: power key + volume - and volume +
Try to factory reset. See what is going on.

Already tried that....not working...
always says an error of "unable to mount /emmc".
On looking into twrp I tried to format the internal storage but it says 0MB.
Also i see 'internal SD storage' as vfat format.
Any further suggestions ?
I have noticed that luckily my twrp is 1 version older. which has option to format the internal storage (if i understand correctly)
Maybe you can provide some codes to re-partition the internal storage. (this is what i learnt so far from other forums :crying
:crying::crying::crying:
Hi. To repartition the phone you must know some hexa.
I studied some tutorials here in XDA.
On our problem, seems to me that something happened to your hardware.
See if you can format the phone with sp flash tool v5.

My computer is not able to detect the phone. after connecting with cable i see a notification as 'usb not recognized'.
However, my External SD card can be read through phone.
So any other way to partition internal sd ?

If your computer does not detect your phone is a hardware problem.
That means you have a hardware fault on the phone motherboard. Seems to me that you have to go to an service store for further analysis.
