Hi,
my 7 days old lenovo vibe x s960 just got auto-upgraded to android version 4.4.2 (vibeui_v1.5_1416_3_st_s960).
the new rom dose not contains google apps at all. i've tried to install gApps via recovery, but found out to my horror that the recovery is in Chinese.
so now i'm stuck with no contacts,emails,calendar and what not, but i do have a very stupid smartphone.
as i see it, i have 2 options:
1) find a way to change the recovery to english, and head on from there, or
2) find a way to install google apps & services back to my current version, and carry on with my life
any help will be greatly appreciated !
thanks,
Nir

lenovo s960 rooting
Hi all. I have a lenovo vibex s960 and want to root through kingo root. What precautions I must take so that all works fine coz I saw in some posts that after rooting gapps don't work and phone does not function properly. Help me avoid this.
Hi, recently i bought a Lenovo A316 from China.
I tried to find a custom ROM for this device, to flash with SP flash tool, but I cannot find it on all internet.
Only I have found the Stock ROM (With Chinese APPS and only English and China languages. I need Spanish).
The Stock ROM can be flashed without problems (I have made it and works)
There are a lot of upgrading ROMs in ZIP, but for this, is necessary to have CWM recovery installed.
The problem is that this device have a UBI file system and is not possible to install with MTK droid tools. (I tried but the program doesn't works with this type of file system)
The best solution will be If anybody have a custom rom (In spanish to flash with SP tools) or can port to this model other (I see there is customs ROMS of other models like A390). I also try to use the Android Kitchen but I'm newer and have not obtained any positive result.
I know that is more easy to give away this phone and buy another (my headache should cure) but I'm so pigheaded and never give up.
In this forum there are few questions about similar problems with this model but I don't see a solution at all.
Please, can somebody help me!!
Thanks
Hi guys!
I have problems with my p70-t, maybe here somebody can say something how to solve it.
I try to install a custom or p70-a ROM on the phone but after spendig days on trying without any success I have no idea how to. Cant't even update (official) via cable because it exits with failure at the end (I did some ROM installing before on other devices so I'm not newbe). After buying I realized the p70-t is for chinese domestic market, so I have no 3G network in Hungary and have (had) a lot of chinese apps. In its present form the phone is far from good...
Is anybody knows here how to or have experience with this phone?
Thanks

Hello.
I had similar problem and found some solution.
First you need to unlock OEM, that is under Developers Options.
After that you should be able to flash it with SP Flash tool or using fastboot method for recovery flash.
Regards.
Hi XDA people, I recently got this ZOJI Z8 phone, by HOMTOM, and it is pretty decent, has nice specs and ****, but the ROM that cames with it is really ****ty, my only ask is if anyone here could help me to flash a custom ROM (I already have a Lineage os adaptation I've found in a Russian site), the phone itself has an option for updating via zip files, but I'd doesn't work with the ROM I got, maybe some root could help with that, but I think a custom recovery will be my way out for this ROM, thanks in advance, have a nice day!
Considerations:
-I'm Brazilian, that's why my English can look a little odd, but I understand perfectly any way you type.
-looks like the phone is Russian, so I really hasn't found anything online but this Lineage os adapt I mentioned.
-my name is Thales, Just in case.
Use the TWRP tool first
Hi Thales,
I know this thread is old, but maybe this can still be useful.
Use the TWRP tool first.
https://
unofficialtwrp.com/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-root-zoji-z8/
Then through TWRP try to push the zip file or .img
I have to warn you that I am skeptical about Lineage OS on the Zoji Z8.
Hi need a custom rom for this please..Homtom Z8. Thanks in advance. Please let me know if anyone is working on this. Cheers.V.
Hello fellow members of XDA,
I'm a new guy here, also new to rooting, flashing using adb and fastboot. So I've encoutered a problem with my father's tablet.
Somehow he softbricked it. So I tried flashing it with a firmwares found in google about the specific model. Well it turned out that the firmwares was not exactly for this tablet. I tried with with MT6589 chipset roms before I figured out that I need MT8389 ROM (as I said, I'm a noob). Sadly, after a whole two days of searching I could not find a firmware nor a custom rom. Anyone of you could help me out?
P.S: The rom I've tried to flash with SP Flash tool, flash everything except system.img. There it show the error S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3154).
Thanks a lot
