Lenovo A816 Rooting - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. Could anyone help me with rooting this phone? I have tried all the once click apps out there and I've tried the computer based ones too. My phone is Lenovo A816. Its in Chinese, but English language is installed. Could I put a custom rom on it too? Please help. Starting to think its impossible to root this phone. I have looked everywhere all over the internet to no avail.
Thanks.

Vodafone 845

Good Evening,
I understood that each device has different ways to get rooted.
If that is wrong I am sorry.
Now... I have a Vodafone 845 and saw great apps on market only for rooted devices.
Normally I would like to have those.
I surfed the xda Forum and found some discuss about this device but root links are to x10 (sony ericsson I believe).
Because of my understanding that confused me.
Anyway, I am dummy in android and did`t understand a lot from those procedures.
My request is: would you guys please make a step by step guide for dummies (with simply english) like me in android?
THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
My devise characteristics are:
Vodafone 845 ( Huawei U8120 ?)
android 2.1 update 1
baseband version 2210
kernel version 2.6.29-perf
locked in Vodafone Romania.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Respectfully.
Wonderful
This is absolutely great!!!
So many advice, so many guidance!
I really can`t choose between those.
Seems that my post is written with invisible ink!

Hey bro I just saw ya post now, I too have a vodafone 845. What you must first do is root your device using superboot, and then you need to pur a custom recovery using amonra recovery. Our device is synonymous with the u8120. If you search for any roms dealing with u8120, you can use it on this device as well. You should connect the phone via usb to a win7 pc and then follow the directions on how to root etc. These directions can be found on the page that deals with Fresh Zodiac Fruit by Cedric. If you follow these directions to the letter you will have no problem rooting your device and installing a custom rom. Once you have a custom rom on, I would advise installing rom manager from the market. Once Rom manager is installed, flash Huawei Ideos 1 recover image. Then put cm7 u8120 slyking on your sd card and flash that, it is, as far as I am concerned, the best rom for this phone nowdays. When you got some experience using and flashing roms, download v6 supercharger and play around with that, you will be amazed at the results. Anyways bro, just remember vodafone 845=U8120. Once you got this, searching is easy.
THANK YOU
Thanks Bro , I just saw your reply.
Just when I lost any hope of a reply.
From your reply seems a lot of trouble to root my device.
I rooted my phone and now of course I got a bigger problem.
From the moment I bought the phone I hated the calendar,
so I tried lots of calendar apps from the market and stopped the search when
I found aCalendar which suited me excelent.
yesterday after I rooted the phone I erased the original calendar.
This morning when I tried to open the aCalendar ...surprise,
the app didn`t open and the screen shown: OnCreate|NullPointerException null şi apoi OnResume|......
I restored to factory settings and nothing ... same message.
Would you help me please with that?
Or some guru, PLEASE HELP.

Hello,
I have found a similar thread in a French forum,
http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/boot-impossible-sur-tablette-polaroid-mid0714-t74605.html
saying that there is no official ROMS in the polaroid website,
it is however, similar to TouchMate MID720
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....DCF07PR001-112-Firmware-problem-stock-on-logo!
with that firmware

lenovo vibe x s960 - no googla apps after auto upgrade?

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 P70-t ROM change - is it even possible?

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.
