[Q] Several issues - Lenovo P780

Hi,
after ROM flashing (ROM that was working fine for me earlier - MIUI V5 5.1.30 , Android 4.2.2 )
i started to get this in recovery :
unable to mount /emmc
unable to mount internal memory
unable to mount /data
+ i cant even wipe dalvik cache.
after first boot, the ROM is stuck at boot logo ( MI logo).
I thought its a bad flash so I flashed a ROM that I got the phone from dealer with (MIUI 4.4.25). Phone turned on, but the IMEI numbers are gone.
When I run Mobileuncle tools / Engineer mode , the CDS Information option is greyed out, its not active.
So I wanted to recover the IMEI via MTK Droid Root & Tools . But when I plug in the device to the PC, the PC doesnt recognize it.
Also, my phone doesnt recognize the SD card (in the OS, in the recovery its everything OK).
Can you help me with this?
THANK YOU

flash it back with original firmware using sp flash. dunno with IMEI though if it will come back.. but start from there.. after that root and go to mobileuncle to restore your IMEI.

Hi. What MIUI did you flash ? What version ?
What you have to do is to enter again in recovery with vol+ vol- and power button pressed all together!
Wipe everything except SD Card!
Remove your SD Card and go to some laptop or PC with SD Card reader, copy your old MIUI on it.
After copy and wipe go to your phone and insert your card.
Start your phone directly in recovery and now your SD Card should be recognized by the phone.
Reflash your old MIUI.
Good Luck.
Tell us if you have problems!

i cant. the recovery isnt mounting emmc, data, internal memory.

that will be a big problem if phone cannot be detected on sp flash tool anymore. make sure phone is turned off and the sp flash is waiting for your device after you insert cable to phone.

i made some progress, MTK Droid Root n Tools recognized the phone.
i should be able to flash the stock now, right?
EDIT: I managed to flash S135 (130917) - stock chineese rom and internal storage, USB storage, SD storage - all seems to be functional and loaded. So this issue seems to be figured out.
EDIT: flashed desired MIUI 4.4.25 Multilang via CWM, all storages operational. Im on fixing the IMEI now.
--------------------------------------
EDIT: I cant restore the IMEI.
I tried imei.exe trick. No change.
I tried engineering mode / Uncle tools - in MIUI i dont have access to CDS Information, in stock ROM I do, but experience a "failed to send" response.
I tried MTK Droid Tools - i type in new IMEI, i reboot via the programme and after reboot the IMEIs are still "null"/"null".
Im desperate. Any help?

This is bad... Your NVRAM is erased! Look on /dev/radio/ and tell us if this radio folder is empty!

looks like i need to restore hard-IMEI, this is my case:
NStorm said:
They guy clearly told he is able to restore MP0B_001 in phone, but its SOFT-IMEI and is lost after wipe/factory reset.
@ Original question by ToldarkenHansam, which is kinda outdated, but considering lame answers here:
To restore HARD-IMEI in NVRAM hidden partition use SN Write Tool or Maui META 3G. They are able to write hard IMEI and calibration to NVRAM partition.
@ kokabunga - if you have nvram.bin backup you can easily resore it with SP Flash Tool. Just open your scatter file with any text editor, find a __NODL_NVRAM section and remove __NODL_ part from it. Reopen scatter in SP Flash Tool and you'll be able to check NVRAM partition.
It might not be able to upload it without other parts selected. But you can you Options->Write memory, then manually enter start address, which will be show on download/upgrade page near NVRAM and length (your nvram.bin length) - that will always work. Be careful to write correct address thou.
Sidenote: all suggested methods before only touch SOFT-IMEI, stored in /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001. Its lost with any wipe/reset, because whole /data partition are formatted. Then the whole /data/nvram directory (if it's empty) are restored from hidden NVRAM partition on EMMC. If you've corrupted your NVRAM when it won't restore correct IMEI ofc. With all methods mentioned above (i.e. replacing MP0B_001, echoing to pttycmd1, using mtkdroidtools, mobileuncletools and others) will only edit MP0B_001, i.e. soft copy of IMEI, which will be lost again with next hardware reset. Sure you restore your IMEI that way every time you wipe/reset/upgrade firmware. But its more solid to fix your IMEI partition with SN Write Tool / Maui META 3G so it will be correctly restored automatically from NVRAM at every wipe/etc.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but Maui META 3G isnt recognizing my phone, though it starts a meta mode automatically. SN Write tool itsnt working as well.
Thoughts? Is it possible to flash just a nvram partition? When I try my SP Flash Tools get a 8038 error.

i found a nvram.img for p780 from someones backup on the web, so i tried to restore it via adb, i got this:
edit: OK, the batch file runned succesfully ( its the utility nvram_backup_restore_wo_root-shell_3.7z , stympy, you posted it here in one thread )
what shall i do now? the IMEI are still invalid after reboot.

put the nvram.img to your sdcard not on your computer. and try the batch file again.. I tried that before using that image .. it did not help restoring imei... try it maybe it will help you

Hi all. For those of you who flashed wrong firmware and your IMEI are gone look what happent to me:
1. i flashed a custom recovery who errased my IMEI. That happent because the recovery was 7.5 mb instead of 6 and i was "blind" and careless and stupid and...nevermind
2. after restart surrpriseee.. no IMEI.
3. allmost total panic here.On MTK Droid Tool 2.5.3 IMEI NULL paniC again, and my worst nightmare PTTYCMD1 ERROR FILE NOT FOUND. Panic panic panic, used hard words #@$^%&(&&%$%& words alot.
4. after a little cooling i reflashed my old TWRP back and started to look in my computer for the firmware i allready have installed wass Baralajbi v6 (i like the partitioning of internal memory) firmware from needrom. Before that i tried to restore the NVRAM from TWRP. It did not work. No IMEI has appeared after restoring with TWRP.So i have rebooted the OS back and i immediatly go to /dev/radio where the PTTYCMD1 and the folder was empty.Again *&^%&$%^#^%#%^#^&(*(^* words.
5. Then i have reflashed Baralajbi firmware and after flash i have installed Root Explorer. Again i immediatly go to /dev/radio where the PTTYCMD1 and the folder was this time all the files were there.
6. So if this file PTTYCMD1 is in the /dev/radio folder you can restore your IMEI safely with any tool.
7. I hope this little problem of mine will help you other users to restore your IMEI.

I flashed different recovery (6mb, cwm) and different rom (miui 4.4.25 multilang).
I managed to get this... (But all of them have 0 size). Is it good?
I tried to use mobileuncle tools, but the option i need is still greyed out (wonder if miui blocks it out? on stock rom it was accessable)

You must try to flash a stock firmware CN or ROW.
MIUI is custom firmware.
The firmware must be flashed with SP Flash Tool.

T94 mtk6589 bootlooping due to DPI change.

Hello to all.
I bought recently a Tengda T94 (also being referred to as Dapeng T94).It has MTK6589 chip.
Me,the smartass,wanted to change the DPI setting of the smartphone,because Real Racing 3 lagged a little bit and thought changing it might fix the framerate.I changed it from 320 dpi to 221 with LCD modder and reboot.Then the surprise struck me,when it didnt start,it just stood on the logo and kept replaying it.I have tried with ADB commands - some works,some not.
I am with stock recovery 3e.
Has only few commands like reboot now,install update from adb,cache,sd card and wiping cache and another option for wiping data to factory settings (and two irrelevant options of restoring/backing up user data).
I tried wiping all data and cache,still bootlooping.
Tried with mediatek firmware adapter tool,but i think it cannot change the build.prop file while bootlooping (it cannot find my device when in recovery mode),because it is either in use,or in read-only mode.
Tried with android commander,but didnt know what to do there.
I downloaded rather late a CWM recovery for my phone,and also if I am not mistaken two roms - one of them is exactly like mine.
But when tried to install thru recovery adb sideload it starts and then says : restating ADBD ....... installation aborted and returns me to main recovery menu. Tried with my backed up build.prop which i have put in flashable zip file.
However,the two roms i have downloaded arent working properly.They are zip,but still adb sideload cannot read them.
And another (i dont know if it is relevant) my external sd card 16 gb default,when i put it in my old gsm to put the two roms and cwm recovery files,first windows wanted to format it and the only option was FAT 32,total of 2.87GB.What has happened to my sd card ?
Still I couldnt install from the external sd card the roms,only zip with build.prop file was listed and gave the same mistake as said above : restating ADBD ....... installation aborted.
PP: I have arrived at the conclusion that the problem is this line ro.sf.lcd_density=221,which is in build.prop file (I might be wrong).So the question is can i somehow modify the prop file or what should i do ?
And why has my sd card shortened from 14,6gb to 2.87 ?
Sorry for the long post.
Problem with T94 too
I tried to modify the build.prop file to enable the soft keys and the phone doesn't work now! stops at the android logo and I don't know how to make it work now. I re-edited the file back to its original using ADB explorers and still the same. Any help on how to recover it would be highly appreciated.

if you want the original build.prop file i have got it,
can you tell me how did you do the CWM recovery without the phone being working?
Installing CWM Recovery Tengda T94
My phone has been bricked and after really hard work I could install CWM Recovery and I'm about to try the Spanish rom, so wanted to share what I have reached to before I forget.
----Do at you own risk-----
-My phone was in a boot loop and USB debugging was previously activated before it bricked
-I installed all the necessary drivers, USB_VCOM_Drivers (Available here: http://goo.im/devs/C3C0/THLW8/tools/USB_VCOM_drivers.zip)
I created the scatter file/map using MTK droid tool, and used the CWM Recovery of the Spanish Rom at this link:
http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/threads/42700-ROM-Custom-ROM-T94-v1-0b
I'm going to upload the scatter file and the CWMrecoveryT94.img, download this sp flash tool for quad core scatter files
http://www.4shared.com/zip/kf__h7u-/sp_flash_tool_zopomobileshop_q.html?cau2=403tNull
Switch off your phone, open SP Flash Tool Quad Core that you downloaded, choose the scatter file available here, double click recovery and choose the CWMrecoveryT94.img available here and press "Download" press yes for the message that appears and connect your phone, it will confirm the success by a green big circle message.
I will update my further proceeding.
Tengda T94 GPS never works
Does anyone have any idea about fixing the GPS problem? I watched a video in youtube in spanish who showed a working fast GPS but I don't understand what he says but he showed in the description that he added a copper foil piece to the GPS antenna, if anyone had luck fixing it please share.
Here is the video:

[Q] help after installing miui rom cubot phone hustle

hi! i have cubot s208(a) . i rooted,yes. my problem with the phone was it was slow and laged specially watching videos. everyday i could do nothing but restart it. so i thought nice hardware but the problem must be rom or kernel so i decided i install custom rom. but there are no for this phone exept i found on this site miui v5. i did some backup with MTKdroid tools.(image is still on my pc,but unfortunatelly not on my phone) i put miui rom on internal card,i went to cwm there i wiped cache and data...install miui zip file all no problem,but after reboot on cubot logo some funny colours and then just black screen...nothing else happens. i went to cwm again tried restore but no backup there.i tried install backup with MTKdroid tools,but phone wont be recognized. i tried put images from pc to sd card but it wont work.i tried flash tools,i downloaded 2 firmware stock roms (unfortunately they aint zip) but again flash tools wont work because it wont connect with phone.(with usb cable) if i just connect phone with pc it auto turns him on.i tried zipping those 2 roms,but after trying in cwm it says install aborted (way i figured i need real stock rom but in zip file) funny no way i can find it.only roms that i can use with flashtools.
so...anyone knows what can i do please say
edit
i fixed it
somehow i suceeded installing mobistel cynus driver (for usb) then i went to sp flash tools. there was other problems... but there i first format phone.then just flash preloader.then everything else.et voila!only problem left is invalid imei.but i guess it will be easy to fix,right now i go to sleep.last 30 hours i slept 6 hours,other time i spent on pc.hope i help somebody.dont forget to backup your phones!
good night and good fight!

SIM card not detected, no IMEI and baseband null

Hello everyone
Well they say you should not mess with thing you do not perfectly know about exactlt same thing happen to me. Well i have Mediatek device MTK6582 running kitkat v4.4.2, i was trying to root it but to no avail.So finally i read a post here about how every phone can b formated by installing CWM/TWRP recovery and then installing the SU binary using custom recovery installed. Ok i followed this method.
1) Made a backup using MTK droid tools of following locations (i still have that backup).
a)PRELOADER
b)MBR
c)EBR1
d)BOOTIMG
e)SEC_RO
f)LOGO
g)EBR2
h)ANDROID
2)Created ROM file.
3)Processed the ROM file for sp flash tool.
4)While processing the ROM file MTK droid tools was unable to make a CWM recovery file.
5)I do not know why but i formatted my recovery partition using sp droid tool.
6)When i tried to put recovery backup to its place sp flash tool would not do that.
So i left my phone as is it for sometime untill i ran out of space and no more apps could be installed.So i decided to format the USRDATA block. This is where things went really bad. I guess in sp flash tools i did not write the correct end, adress i wrote the size of that block it was 0051400000 on MTK droid tools , iguess i should have wrote the starting adress of next block.After format my phone would not start.It was stuck on manufacturer's logo.So on a different PC i downloaded all the stuff i mean drivers sp flash tools MTK droid tools etc. And tried installing my phones recovery, and this time it was installed perfectly.I went into my recovery wiped all user data and phone started normally untill i realised that no network was there and a "No SIM card" notification was there. So i did a factory reset thinking maybe it would help.But again phone was stuck on manufacturer's logo.And this time i would not even enter the recovery (it would show as if it is entering recovery i mean the animation stuff that shows when it enters in the recovery and then the phone would restart and stuck again).So i reinstalled the complete backup of all blocks that i have mentioned above.And phone switched on successfully. But again no "SIM card detected".
So i googled, and in Last 24 hours i tried everything i could find there (alright maybe not everything but most of "everything".And i also have a successfully rooted my phone.
Here are my observations
1) When i connect my phone with MTK droid tools it shows no IMEI.
2) MTK droid tools also shows no baseband.
3) Settings>About phone>Status>IMEI information shows No IMEI for both SIM cards.
4)In factory mode where there are all the tests and stuff shows the actual IMEI's of my device But no SIM card.(Note: No IMEI in settings).
5)In ES file explorer data/nvram shows a lot of files and folders its not empty.
Here is what i have already tried.
1) Tried restoring IMEI using MTK droid tools.
2) Making new MP0B_001 using imei.exe
3)Installing my backup for second time.
Right now i am do not know what to do next.Any help i would gretly appreciate.Sorry for long post when i wanted to clear so that you can suggest something.Thanks

Imei wiped after latest stable nougat flashed

The Imei 1 and 2 got wiped after flashing Latest stock rom, how do i get imei back?
You have to use Maui meta. On needrom you can find it. Some forum users have explained how to fix this in the p9000 nougat topic.

unfortunately the device doesnt get recognized, and i think i have all the right drivers installed since i can use sp flash tools with no issues, the ohone just boots to elephone logo and hangs there, maiui meta never seems to find the device...
I had the same issue. I reflashed a stock ROM with spft but formated the phone also by selecting "download +format" in the drop down menu in spft. The phone will still have wrong imei numbers but Maui meta can detect the phone after flashing and formatting. It is maybe because the nvram is corrupted.
