Good Day, XDA's! I'm new to xda-developers so please forgive my ignorance. I have a Lenovo P780 8GB device variant, it has Chinese Jelly Bean ported (See my device Definition).
Model number: Lenovo P780_ROW
Android version: 4.2.1
Baseband version: P780.V20, 2013/07/31 10:51
Build number: P780_8G_ROW_S119_130930
The problem with this device is that, it has no GOOGLE Play preinstalled so installing apps may only be possible via APK (w/c I don't like!). Based on my device and variant. Can someone teach me to install the original Stock ROM for P780 8GB? The one that came with Lenovo and has GOOGLE Apps preinstalled already (If stock ROM exists). Thanks in advanced.
Go to Development section. There look for stock firmware. All you have to do is to install drivers , reboot the computer. You will find some good drivers around. Warrning. Look for 8 Gb phone firmware. Not 4 Gb. Good luck.

Successfully Installed the Factory ROM
Thanks for the reply, I have successfully installed the factory ROM of my P780 8GB later evening after my post. I followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/lenovo-p780-guide-t2658144 . After successfully installing it, I checked the updates and there I found new update, I installed it and once again checked for new updates; I found the KitKat update 4.4 I installed it. Now I have the Android 4.4 KitKat. Upon checking another update I received the S226 around (743MB) (I don't think it's Lollipop, I didn't downloaded it yet).

After S226 you must update to S228.
S228 is the last official firmware released by Lenovo.

If that's the case, is it safe to say that no updates will no longer come in the near future? Can I install other ROMs for my device? What do you think is currently the best stable, fully functional ROM out there that I can install for good? Can you suggest me some? Thanks. I think this will be my last post for now.

Try MIUI. I use MIUI for some time now. USNKREAL MIUI from mirror 7 is good and is receiving weekly OTA updates.
To install this firmware you must install latest TWRP. You can find the tutorial and TWRP in my post Rooting tutorial for kitkat located in Q&A section.
Good luck.

Thanks for the timely reply.
Its solved now, all I had to do was keep moving in a vehicle to get the gps working
It took about 15 mins to pinpoint my location but after the first time it has lowered to about 15-20 seconds.
Its still a little problematic when i'm stationary so i'll keep an eye on this for a day or so before flashing again.
tnx
i just knew this v6 rom is just v5 with v6 theme
My wife just bought a P780 (from a chinese webshop).
Most likely it has a CN rom, but where/how can I be sure it has either a CN or ROW rom ?

Hi all,
I bought a Z7 MAX on lenten.fr a few month ago and I think they put a custom rom on it (because I have multi-language on it).
I have a problem, every time i boot my phone it ask me to do an update (NX505J_CNCommon_V1.38). It starts but it is always failed.
So I decided to put an other custom rom (like cyanogen) or the official one but it is impossible, could some one help me please?
My mobile phone is:
NX505J
nubia UI: V9.5.0
Android version: 4.4.2
build number: NX505J_CNCommon_V9.29
Hardware version: NX505JMB_A
Thanks,

You can only do official over the air updates if you are running stock ROM and recovery and unrooted. I am in the same boat as you, however I am just waiting for official android v5.0 to be released for the mini as there is no point in upgrading when that release will be coming very soon.
instructions are here anyway:

Are you going through the Nubia update app or flashing through recovery? Many European dealers install their own custom ROM which ends up impossible to update through Nubia update.
You should download the official 1.64 ROM (the latest Android 4.4.2 version; google "ZTE Nubia Z7 Max Official ROM v1.64", it should be on NeedROM) and install that through recovery. From there you can either install CM or upgrade to official Android 5.0. You can find instructions for installing ROMs through recovery mode in the post flamery linked.

Could you point me to instruction how did you upgrade this 9.29 ROM?
[EDIT]
So, I'll aswer myself, in case there is another one with such old ROM.
Problem solved, found a way to upgrade to Lolipop. Thanks to user craagz, who wrote this tutorial (just erase spaces in http).
Next I have installed official 2.13 ROM (nubia updater made resize of patitions) - it's lolipop 5.0.0.
One thing - USB debugging must be switched off
Next step - from stock recovery from ROM 2.13 directly installed newest official ROM-3.77 - lolipop 5.1.1, and with tigreos tutorial from needrom/ and rooted and gapps.
That end I just have to configure apps and make LTE works
I recently purchased a Sky Device 5.0W (chinese phone). I already rooted it. It has android 4.4.2 running. Im new to this. I would like to know if i can install a custom rom to this phone and how to go about doing this. Ive searched on the internetm but no luck. Is there a generic rom like Cyna CM or anything i can do to this? thank you

No. There are no ROMs for this device. No one has built a custom ROM for it because it is not a popular brand. Now you can install a custom CWM recovery. Use MTK Droid Tools to do create one, then flash it with SPF Tool. Once, you've got CWM on there, you can root it by installing a SuperSu zip from the SD card while in recovery.
But unfortunately, there are no custom ROMs available that you can install.
I dont know if you still have the device, but I am currently working on a nougat resurrection remix rom for this device. So far I managed to get twrp 3.2.1 running on this phone with storage and adb working, ill update you when im finished making the rom boot.

Why not post the TWRP image for the device if you have created one? People who have the device would find it helpful.

I'm not completely sure, but it might be worth the shot. Just make a backup (if you want).
I have a P780 4GB ROW 4.2 OS with Carliv recovery.
I'd like to upgrade to either 4.4 or 7.1.
I can't find a way to do it right because whatever ROM I tried, they all fail.
Could someone please help me?

Hi.
To upgrade from Android 4.2 to Android 4.4, you must flash the firmware with SP Flash Tool.
Because you have now custom recovery you cannot upgrade your firmware by OTA.
Look in development area for stock firmware.
Good luck.
Thank you stympy. That explains it.
Unfortunately, I don't have a computer.
If I understand you correctly, I have to push the stock firmware in order to flash a custom ROM be it 4.4 or 7.1?
