For someone to solve your problem you must tell us more:
What windows do you have;
What driver do you try to install;
What P780 do you have; 8Gb ; 4 Gb;
Post a complete set of information before you ask for help !
Thanks for good job and i need your help.
Thank you so much for nice job,sir.
I had similar problems with my lenovo P780 (ROM 4GB).
It is the china version. And after running the ROM ROW then it lost imei. I am using windows 7 32bit. So i can not install Android_Gadget_CDC_driver.
please, help me, sir. I want to write imei again without fear of losing when i did the restore factory settings.
Thank you, sir. And so sorry because i speak very little English.

Can't find a driver for CDC serial.
Hi,
I was trying to rewrite my IMEI and WIFI MAC address of Lenovo P780, as it was lost during flashing new ROM. I tried to use SN writing tool, but it needs my phone in META mode. But I can't find a driver for CDC serial. I tried a lot, but nothing worked. My PC is Windows 7 64 Bit.
Thanks in Advance.............

You must install the driver by hand!
From add new hardware!
Not from Device Manager !
CDC Driver is a diferent entity !

Hello Stympy i hope you can still look at this forum and remember about this matter.....
So I use win7 32bit and already tried to add hardware, update driver and the yellow triangle didn't show up...
But still when i want to write the IMEI, it says Enter MetaMode Fail on my Lenovo P780ROW 8GB.
My phone have been in Meta mode.
Out of curiosity, this is what i have on my laptop's device manager. Which of the driver should it be under both Android Phones and Ports (COM and LPT)?
Because it currently has 3 options from whatever driver package i downloaded. If you can give me a reply, it would be appreciated

This is the picture of my device manager.
As you can see i put my phone in meta mode and the driver seems to be just fine. I tried to add new hardware to my laptop but the com ports where the phone would be connected seems different than the one i pre installed...

I don't know if you have gotten a driver yet i too was having the same problem. I also tried to do a tutorial on this site that needed me to edit the inf file and it didn't work for me. I am going to put the link to this download I found on that thread too. Anyway I used this driver and if you get the error message box appear click "install driver anyway". It worked for me I hope it helps you if you are still having trouble.

There is no support for chinese devices anywhere.
The tutorials are made only for the original device.
Did you back up the stock rom in the first place?
This problem would have been solved if you had a backup of your stock rom.
Now you have no other go than to contact the manufacturer for getting the phone fixed.
Trying other roms will not help you in restoring.

you need to install proper driver in order for the PC to recognize the phone, ussualy the Preloader USB VCOM Driver does the job, sometime it takes much more effort, and ADB Drivers need to be installed...
- Proper way to install Preloader USB VCOM Driver -
Connect your phone to PC and wait for the New hardware Found wizzard to appear
Choose i will install the driver by myself, then navigate to the folder location were you have the .ini driver file...
- If the method above dont work, then connect your phone to PC, wait for the New hardware found to appear...
Then right click on My PC and go to the Device Manager
Here you should have a yellow Mark and a phone name or something like this
Right click and choose update driver
Now choose the folder where you have extract the .ini driver file ....
Restart your PC
Open SP FlashTools and be sure that u have the proper ROM for your Phone, otherwise you´ll face DRAM FAIL Error
try this ROM that the guy posted above...

Thanks, i tried your guide, but with that ROM finaly appear 100% in red color, probably because this phone have MTK6582 and not 6572.
If i use a rom for 6582 at the end of process i can see the DRAM FAIL error
I use this link from XDA for that ROMs:
androidxda.com/download-hdc-stock-rom-models
Any other advice ????

ok, it seems that the problems are not the driver, sience you manage to get the phone recognized by pc... the problem seems to be SP Flash Tool...
my advice would be : reinstall again the windows, install again the USB Preloader VCOM Driver ( the correct way ) and install latest version of SP Flash Tool....
Then try to install again one of the 3 ROM´s that i give you... maybe you have luck buddy, i dont know...
is the only way you could get back your phone.... as you know, these phones are clones and is very hard to find compatible ROM´s and replacements parts....
I was having the ghost touches on my SM-N900 Note 3 Clone and the only solution was to change the digitizer, but : i can´t change it, sience i dont find anywhere Note 3 Clone digitizer replacements... only solution was to put the phone in a box and dont use it... ((

I tried on my laptop with new OS installed and no antivirus installed, but the problem is the same.
I tried this tools : SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01
and this : SP Flash Tool v3.1332.0.187
and the tools inside the ROM folder, but nothing. :crying:
Could you link me please the USB Preloader VCOM Driver ( for win7 64bit ), i guess the problem is that i used the bad one
Very thank you again for your help. :good:
Dear Lenovo Support,
I regret to say that unfortunately I had an opportunity to update the Android version of my phone Lenovo P780 from Android 4.2.2(stock version) to Android 4.4 Kit-Kat ver. latest released by your good Company, that I have downloaded directly from the Integrated Lenovo system update over Air/Wi-Fi.
Then, just right after update installation and phone restart I immediately started experiencing worst ever problem with Voice quality transmission while talking on the phone with any of subscribers/friends/colleagues.
Nobody can hear my voice at all or hears rustling with constant voice interruptions. Very poor voice quality transmission indeed.
You are kindly requested to support my case and provide qualified instructions on how to fix this problem and avoid farther problems, as it is impossible to use the phone anymore while such problems exists.
Thanking you in advance for your kind assistance which is highly appreciated and hoping to receive your soonest reply,

Look in post How about some modems in the section Vibe.
Root your phone and try change modems from there. Backup first.
Reply
Dear stympy,
Thank you very much for replying to this matter.
If I get you right, this is distinctively a problem with modem, whereas the version of the modem included in general update to Kit-Kat version for users worldwide that Chinese developers Lenovo published is not compatible to work with all countries cellular network providers, particularly in my country - Ukraine and the only solution for fixing the problem is to find a compatible/proper firmware of the modem.
Please confirm.
Since, my Lenovo P780 is fixed to stock version and never been rooted before, can you please advise if root is compulsory and provide the link with step-by step guide in order to root the phone if it is compulsory to change the modem version and the link with modem versions.
Also, please advise if I will need to change for a custom rom in case of modem change etc.
Thanks again for your kind support,

Good day stympy,
Sorry for not replying for a long time. Getting back to the issue where nothing changed to a good side and I still experience problems when nobody hears me properly as if I am living underground in the tunnel and the Wi-Fi signal by the way is not stable.
My Lenovo P780 has the next firmvware:
1. Firmware ver. P780_ROW_S223, 2014/09/01 - last one updated over air recently
2. Firmware of radio module: P780.ROW.V104, 2014/09/01
Not sure whether the phone was rooted before, as I got it new device but from the seller-guy who flashed the phone.
Do I have a chinese or european version ?>
Please advise what are my next actions to normalise the work of the device.
Thanks in advance for your support

Hi. You have the ROW version , thats mean: Rest Of the Worl, not Chinese.
To check if your phone has root, can download any root checker from market and see.
The next step is to change modem software you must root your phone and install custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.
After root and custom recovery go to my post: How about some modems and you will find there alot of modems for KK. That modems you must use. Not others. They are located in folder:Modems for S221 LATEST UPDATE. For Europe i recomend: modem_P780_V101_Life_Vibe.zip
Your firmware is the last OTA for sure.
Good Luck.
Modem change
Thanks for your clear explanations stympy. For sure will try out today, evening time.
Before I proceed can you please advise
1. How to make proper backup.
2. Is there a way to test the quality and level of the signal after modem change procedure to see and check if the level of transmission of signal is high enough to be sure that this modem firmware suits me best.
Thanks a lot in advance
Will revert with results in any case.

Hi.
1.The proper backup for me is with custom recovery TWRP. You can allso backup the 2 folders(system/etc/mddb and firmware) with the modem software with ZIPME fom Google Magazin.
2. The quality and level of signal after modem change is to keep monitoring you phone signal and speak. After this you will see if signal is crushing and the one who you talk is hearing you and revert !

If its so urgent... try this one !
****, I am still stuck on with USB driver Installation.
The files you have provided, I have successfully downloaded them.
When I connect the device to my laptop, the PC sees the device and asks for a driver, I have installed these drivers you provided but my laptop does not recognize them as compatible drivers saying that device is not recognised, I am stuck and I think I can not move any further because of this
Zero results
As the result of my many hours attempts yesterday to make the phone working and recognized by the PC properly lead to zero results.
The problem with the driver. The PC detects the connected device asks for a driver, installed the drivers you have provided stympy. But Lenovo P780 icon doesn't appear in the list of devices in My Computer or Explorer or when appears after Clicking on it, does not show the content at all. Empty list.
Owning many different phones, I neved had such a problem before. All devices after short drivers installation were always recognizable at first connection.
Strange and very dissapointing.

Hi. The computer with windows installed recognize this piece of hardware for just a second in device manager. I have windows 7 installed and when i connect the phone some autorun starts with the driver. Your phone does that ?
Attempts for phone root with intention to change the modem
Dear stympy and the rest of to whom it may concern,
Writing again to submit my dissapointment that has no positivie results at all. Not able to root, install TWRP or any other ROM Manager software etc...nothing!
Would like to specify that I have a Lenovo P780 device with 4 GB memory and most likely a device for sale on Chinese markets as labels on the cover box of the phone and stickers under the back cover are in Chinese language.
Although, the device I bought from a seller as new device was upgraded to a firmware he said, in fact I do update my firmware over air which is designated for the "Rest of the World" (as per Settings info.).
I go through the step-by-step guide written by stympy and I am stuck with SP Flash Tools software.. I tried using the SP Flash Tools as per the guide while the phone is in switched on and off conditions but the utility does nothing to the phone, as if it the phone is not recognized by SP Flash Tools.
When I connect the phone to the PC in the switched off condition I get the message thatn an as USB device not recognized asking for a driver (I browse to the drivers folder indicating the correct driver initially it was recognized and now not anymore) but when I Connect the phone to the PC in the switched on condition then phone is fine, immediately get recognized and I get access to the Internal Memory and SD Card content.
Very, very strange and ridiculous behaviour.
Same problem actuall to other PC connected with my Lenovo P780.
I wonder if there is another way to root my phone and change modem firmware. Please keep me advised accordingly,
Thanks a lot for your support

Hi. Lets try this trick :
1. Look on the internet for this app called 1 Mobile Market apk
2. Download and install.
3. There you will find alot of chinese app for rooting.
4. Install and try to root your phone.
5. If you succeed instal Mobileuncle Tool and flash TWRP recovery from there.
6. After this you can flash modems
7. Good luck.
8. Waiting for feedback.
Sent from my Lenovo P780
SUCCEEDED!!!
I am back with good news. I managed, I managed!!!! Yeeehaaaa!!!!
I managed to flash TWRP and root by the method you have described above stympy.
Now, what I was doing wrong is that upon running SP Flash Tools software I was connecting the phone with USB Cable before pressing the Download Not Firmware upgrade button and NOT AFTER as advised (1) and my second fault is that I used only one scatter file coming together with TWRP and recovery.img.
I have succeeded flashing with the alternative scatter files for 4 GB version.
Check with Root checker - device rooted!!
Now, going further I have put the model firmware as "modem_P780_V23_S226_ROW" on the internal memory of the phone and will try to install it via TWRP manager.
Please advise if this firmware will not work well or work as bad as previous one, Do i just install another modem firmware on top of the installed one and that is it ?
Thanks

Hi. Yes you are right. Flash modem reboot see if works, if dont work reflash other so on and on and on.. When you flash new modem will overite the old modem.
Good Luck, and waiting for feedback.
Modem Firmware change success
Dear stympy,
Once again writing my feedback to confirm success in modem firmware flashing, changing to "modem_P780_V23_S226_ROW". (looks to be latest one available to download and with hopes that most corrected version)
From now on the voice quality is better enough than before, the voice quality is much clearer and higher, but still not smooth enough.
During the tel.conversations on the other line, the person who I am talking to hears my speech with interruptions from time to time.
Do you think I still need to give another tries for alternative firmware ?
Please provide again the link to the folder with modem firmwares stored and also advise which firmware best suits my case.
Thanks

Hi. You could try one more who i think is the same as v23. The modem from LiFe rom must do the job. I used both and have no problems.
Good Luck.
I will for sure try the firmware you have advised above.
Moreover, I proceed to receive an OTA Updates for the Android system, but taking into account the last issue with modem, understanding that it will not do any good only harm. What do you think about it ?

Unbrick Oppo R5
Since oppo forums support is minimal and a lot of Oppo R5/ R5s owners are facing difficulties flashing new rom and since Oppo is unbrickable here are a guide as posted to oppo forum members by the member Ricky.
I had clear instructions not to post this tool anywhere BUT THEY DON’T SUPPORT ANY DEVICE and I have to break my promise as they broke any kind of support.
This community (XDA) is to help all members
The tool works with windows 10 and not only with windows 7 as they mention in their instructions
Packages you have to download first
1- Firmware ColorOS https://www.partage-facile.com/LM6Y85FF7Z/r8106ex_11_a.16_150806.tar.bz2.html
File Name: R8106EX_11_A.16_150806.tar.bz2
Size: 1.4GB
MD5: F85ED63BA637B559976D9BFF0AED0187
2- Instructions:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3AWkNVCRSNVZGNRUE1rQW5YOFk/view?sid=
3- Driver : http://en.oppo.com/downloads/firmware/driverForFind5.rar
Mirror for driver http://www109.zippyshare.com/v/MEMiPlOv/file.html
Attention
a-Unbrick tool will wipe all data on your device including photos and music etc, if do you want to reserve your data please make o back up on your PC
b- After unbrick the first time power up take around 5-15 minutes
c- The most important things are to install the driver. For windows 10 you must enable unsigned signature verification through windows advanced settings (google it) prior driver installation.
d- In order to shut phone completely hold the power button for 8 -10 secs
How to use the tool
I tried to use the tool and the files you provided to revive my Oppo R5, but the layout of the tool which you provided is different from the one in the picture (you gave in the links). It is also in foreign characters so difficult to choose with option to tick.
In fact, the version that came with you package does not have as many option as the one in the picture. My confusion actually starts from when the program starts. There is a drop down menu to chose from a long list of 14005 to 15065. Which one do I choose for Oppo R5?
As for the qualcomm port, the device manager identified my phone on port 9006, whereas the picture shows 9008.
Please help me. I really need to get this phone to work. The phone would not do any thing is the buttons are pressed individually or in combination, other than being detected by the computer and enumerated in the device manager.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

The flash tool that I am using is V1.5. Is is possible that I am using a wrong version for what I need to do?
Many thanks for your attention.

Thank you so much. it worked. Not my Oppo r5 is back alive.
Where is the download?
Is it normal that when I hit the download link there appear aliexpress??
I thought I had bricked my R5 but while trying to follow this guide it wasn't showing up in the "Ports" section of the Device Manager. I found that my phone still had fastboot, so I used it to install latest TWRP and then the repair rom. And now my phone is finally back to working condition! I hadn't modified in any way my phone and one day it got stuck at the logo. Anyway, thanks for the guide Mermigas!

Number for R5S?
Hi, I tried the 14061 for my OPPO R5S. Unfortunately it did not work. Now the phone is not starting.. help? Should I use another number?
hello folks.
i had nothing to do so i made a QFIL flashable system image of a Marshmallow VibeUI backup, which was released for Latin Amerians (dunno what lenovo software engineers were smoking when they decieded to keep MM from the rest of the world ).
So, this ROM (or rather backup) is ported by me as a qfil flashable file for A6020a41 phones, which are popular for not having unlockable bootloaders.
since this rom is official, it passes dm-verity and boots fine on locked BLs.
this package only flashes system.img and boot.img, so no device specific files are flashed. it worked fine on my SD415 device with locked BL.
link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=283731
HOW TO FLASH:
1) wipe data from recovery (twrp or stock, doesn't matter). Your internal might be wiped too.
2) install revelant drivers (hint: look for them on "return to stock" thread or at the link at the bottom of this post).
3) flash the package (same procedure when recovering stock rom)
and don't blame me if your phone or your kitten dies because of this rom (i'm gonna laugh at you if you do so), i made this just because SD616 users can't flash custom roms, despite me having SD415 w/ unlocked bootloader. HAVE FUN!!!
Note: if you have SD415 variant then proceed to here
Notes:
1. VoLTE appears to be not working, this depends on whether lenovo decides to update it for lat. america.
2. If you want to make a qfil flashable rom, then pm me for a template (or just replace system and boot images in this zip).
Normal things to expect:
1) device name change to a6020l36
2) (probably) being banned from play services. (important: no dev is responsible for a6020 being banned. Do not waste your time blaming, not only on this thread but on the whole K5(Plus) forum).
oh, and before i forget, remember to choose .mbn file accordingly to your SoC.
msm8929 -> SD415
msm8939 -> SD616

Thanks for sharing. Volte is a thing which is rarely or never used here in Turkey so i didn't have a chance to test it.
Hi.
I flashed this on my a6020a41 sd415. Device chagned name to a4020a36 and I had problem with network. Maybe because my device is single sim?

Device name change is normal. But network issue is strange... I didn't have that. Flash stock using qfil to revert, I'll look into it later.
Did you format the data before flashing? Seems i forgot to include that point in the OP. Silly me...
Sorry for that.
Have a nice weekend.
Thanks :fingers-crossed:

What do you want to do with twrp? You can't even boot twrp with a locked bootloader.

Bricked anphone using this method its a A6020a41 now when trying to flash something back on it it says sahara fail.(probably because of device model change what to do?)
Is it possible modify some files on stock a6020a41 file to continue flashing when it sees a6020l36?

This rom doesn't have anything bootloader-related, so your sahara error is likely a driver issue. The model change is only seen in the system itself, but nothing on the hardware level is changed. So your a41 is still an a41.
There is a "back to stock" thread in the k5 plus forum, if you need to flash stock rom. Btw, that guide can be used to flash this vibeui port, the only difference is you need to change stock rom zip to vibeui port. The drivers part is important.

Whether it's and old thread or new, doesn't matter, I'm always behind everything i do here
Forgot to say, you might need to disable driver signature check. Just open cmd as admin and type
Code:
bcdedit /set testsigning on
To revert;

I would not use a vm if i was you. The risk is big if a connection suddenly drops.
In my AFH repo there are drivers which I'm able to confirm working.
There's also a tool that removes unused usb drivers from windows, can't remember it's name. Search for it.
It is possible that you might have a problem I've never experienced before,

What is your phone's SoC and what exactly did you flash on it? So that i can tell if its a hardbrick.
What windows are you running? I haven't got any probs on win7.
I assume you have tried the drivers i told you to use.
There is a program called Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant. It's foolproof, and installs any driver it needs (afaik). "Repair" your phone through there. Then start flashing roms afresh.
