[Q] Stuck with my Lenovo vibe x s960 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I reached to the point i'm writing message in this forum cause I honestly tried everything.
Iv'e got a Lenovo s960 which I bought on eBay, recently he decided to make a software update to Android 4.4.2.
So what is the problem?
Iv'e got the phone with custom rom for int'l use (English and with google services), the phone updated to a chinese version without google services, and a bit of english.
Iv'e reached this conclusion based on the internet.
So why can I just root the phone and install another rom?
This is a really strange problem,
I found few information online about this but mostly in ended up without solution, so folks we got a challenge.
When i'm connecting the phone on USB, it's charging but not recognized, the computer "sees nothing", the phone just charging, like it was connected to AC adapter .
Iv'e tried a few computers, a few cables, and tried on Mac OS X and Windows. I noticed that there is a known problem between Win 8.1 and media tek chips, but ever after manual install no change.
The problem is in the phone, the usb option just disappeared, the is no "usb setting" anywhere,
I also tried to enable USB debugging but yet no solution.
Shortly I need to install other rom and to do this I need something to recognize my phone.
And now I have to be honest, I'm taking care of this case for a very close friend, it's huge favor for her, if it was mine I was just buying a new one.
Any help will be blessed,
Thank you
Yarin

[Q] Help needed. USB device not recognised.

Hi guys. I am in need of a little help.
This started last night. My HD2 has SPL-1.42 and has done since it was released. I am not a noob at flashing roms or indeed running Android Roms. I regard myself as being a bit of a geek and a bit technology savvy. Anyway....
Last night I flashed a new Rom (Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.sencity.Nov.30) all was going well. I flashed this rom as I liked previous roms by this chef and also to try and solve my email not being received problem. Unfortunately, emails still didn't work. Not a problem I thought, I will just used Android for my emails. Unfortunately for me the build I installed last night after installing the Energy Rom was slow and laggy for me. So I thought to myself that I would install a new WM rom this evening and the latest MDeejay Android Rom afterwards. So I went about the usual scenario of connecting my HD2 to Laptop in activesync mode(without Enable Faster Connection enabled(this is normal for me) but all I get from Windows is USB Device not recognised. I have tried with enable faster connection enabled, reinstalling Mobile Device Centre, different cable, different USB port, different PC, reflashed a rom via SDCard(transfered LEOIMG to SDCARD via adapter and run from SPL Bootloader). I even get the error when running Android. I have also checked the USB port on the HD2 for dirt, but nothing.
Can anyone suggest anything or is my HD2 knackered?
Thank you

[Q] Eken A90 (rooted) showing UNWANTEDLY as ABD

Hi guys, I hope you can help.
I'm tech savvy, but this has been driving me bonkers.
I bought a cheap EKEN A90 (Allwinner A10) from China - I can't remember what version of Android it had, but it was a slow and clunky as hell.
To cut a long story short, I tried flashing it with CM9 and CM10 and managed to brick it, only being able to bring it alive with the lovely and helpful people here using livesuite and a custom firmware A90sun4i_crane_t05a_mma7660_20120614-.img and gapps etc etc....and actually works SO much smoother!
Anyway, BEFORE, when I plugged in the USB, it would show up in My Computer (I'm on Windows XP) as 'CRANE' or something like that and was easy to transfer files between my PC and tablet.
Since the new firmware, when I connect to my PC, it comes up as an ADB device, installs drivers (something like WdfColnINstaller or something) and then says it's a Samsung phone! Which I don't want! I just want it to show up in My Computer like it did before!!!
I used to have Kies installed as I have a Galaxy S2, but have since installed it. (btw my phone comes up as a portable device, which I would love the tablet to do!!)
I've tried loads of things; changing cables, USB debugging mode on and off (there's no MTP option on the tablet btw) uninstalling the ADB thing in PC Device Manager, but nothing has worked and it's driving me bonkers!
I've even looked into changing the tablets Device ID (USB\VID_18D&PID_0002) because apperently that notifies Windows that it's an ADB Instance.
Many thanks

Hacking a Chinese Android Smart-Mirror

Hi there! So I have a bizarre rearview mirror that my husband bought in China. It's a mirror with an integrated 5" tablet that is a mirror when off and a tablet when on. It came rooted. It's loaded with a weird, highly stripped down version of Kitkat, and there is no section in settings for developer options. There is also no area with build number, so I can't just tap that 7 times.
I've been trying to flash a new Android OS onto it, but the problem is, I can't seem to get my computer to connect to it. I got the thing into recovery mode, but my computer just sees it as an unknown device, despite my having installed the Google driver, the ADB universal driver, and a couple others, so I'm pretty frustrated. I must admit I don't know what I'm doing, as I usually work with iPhone and Mac. Anyways, can someone help me flash a new Android OS on here and get my computer to see the device in recovery mode to start?

Cubot x9 not powering on or showing signs of activity!

Hello! So a while ago I bought a Cubot x9 and it was a really good phone. Recently i haven't been able to do anything with it due too I tried to root it and it bugged out so I reinstalled the rom on it and it fixed it for a while but now it won't even show that it's powering on or even charging. I tried connecting it too my pc to see if i could use odin too reset it but it's not displaying on any of the com ports. I'm curious if theres anything i can do for it. I have a newer and better phone now so i dont really need it but it would be nice to try to fix it or(In the case of my tablet) Fully modify it so nothing on it is stock on it.

For your information, odin is for Samsung devices only, hence why it wont recognize you because you are not in download mode. If adb or fastboot recognizes it you can manually flash stock ROM, that is, if you have adb. And also, does your phones display turn on or not?
