Hi all.
Because the new firmware cannot be installed very well on normal layout i have made for you + layout firmware.
ROW + firmware is based on Stock S228 firmware.
CN + firmware is based on latest Baralajbi firmware, cleaned allmost all CN apps. For my opinion is the best CN firmware for our phone.
Both firmware are made with Andreya108 tools and have latest TWRP.
I appologize to 8 GB phone owners because i could not test the firmware on this kind phone, because i do not have one . Please send us some feedback. Thanks.
The firmware for 4 GB phones is tested. Working well.
WARRNING:
I am not responsable for bad flash, or broken phones, or if your phone migrate back to China, or some alien wants to speak from your phone with his home planet, etc etc
Now if all was said... Hope you enjoy.
Link CN+ 4GB/8GB
Link ROW+ 4GB/8GB
Link SP FLASH TOOLS.
Update 05.03.2017.
For the phones who don't have TWRP installed after flash do this:
1. Flash the firmware.
2. Start the phone and boot at least once.
3. After boot power off the phone.
4. After powering off the phone flash ONLY the custom recovery TWRP.
5. That is it. The custom recovery TWRP should be working fine.
6. Good luck.

What? This cannot be.... I replace myself the files and recovery. The recovery must be TWRP 3.0.2-7.
The files are replaced like in Andreya108 tutorial...
Scatter file is + layout. Strange...
Look on recovery.img... Please tell me how many mb they have? If they have 6 mb is stock recovery. If they have 10 mb is custom recovery TWRP.
First i install row+ version and when try to entertwrp recovery, phone enter in normal recovery (try 2 times), but on cn is twrp, my bad, sry. Very good job, phone work very good. Can I install andreya script for participate internal memory for 8gb versions? Can u edit settings apk and framework (its only 2 files) to remove syncit application, i hate that reminders (backup contacts, backup sms,....) it cannot be turn off?. When uninstall syncit, aplication icon is still in setiings-accounts option, cant remove. on andreyas row + final version they remove syncit from settings.

I'll look in ROW version to see what is going on and why TWRP is not there.
As for the Syncit, i will try to remove it.

the trick is use twrp3021 first then later update to 3027

Ok. I'll repack with TWRP 3.0.2-1 and upload. Thanks.
Edited ROW+ firmware. Now it will come with TWRP 3.0.2-1. After install just update the TWRP. Works this way.
CN+ remains with TWRP 3.0.2-7.
Enjoy

Try to flash this one. Tell me if works!
Unzip and flash only this recovery. Use scatter file from your + firmware.
If this will work update your TWRP with the last one and that is it.
You can only install 3.0.2- 1 and 7 in row+ version only .
using flash player you can install

Nope.... You are wrong to this one. You can install TWRP 2.8.7.3, because this is for ROW+ too.
On my first + layout i have worked with this one.
Now its ok, 1st. flash firmware, 2nd. slash only twrp recovery 3.0.2-7 and everything is ok. I dont know why, but after flash firmware there is no recovery, u must flash only recovery image after flash rom and everything is ok.

Hi guys, I need some help, I can't see my display screen as in the attachment. Booting and touch is ok. But it freezes at the lock screen. Is it a system error or hardware. ? Can I try flashing it.? I'm at a blind spot on this one. Appreciate your helps.

if I can use TWRP 3.0.2.7, it mean i have ROW+ layout?
...
Hi,
I just have P780 in hand. It is still on stock ROM (ROW). I have successfully installed TWRP 2.7 then rooted it. I would like to install ROW+ layout on it.
1. If I install this ROM, would it also changed the partition to ROW+?
2. Or, do I have to follow andreya108's tutorial to change to ROW+ first?

Issues with Rom Flashing... "Install update.zip signature verification failed"
Hello
I am new in the World of Xiaomi and MIUI
I bought a Redmi Note 2 and it had the Oppomart MIUI-Version ist 66.77.33.00 (LHMCNCH)I Stable on it. I am a german user.
I found out that the Rom was not official and it contained useless apps and I couldnt use root either. So I wanted to flash different Roms. After some tries and researches I could flash an inofficial german Rom. But with that I couldnt use Xposed Installer so I wanted an original Rom. I flashed miui_HMNote2_5.10.15_8097474ec2_5.0. But that seems to be completely for chinese users. You can choose english language but there is no google account and no google apps. No play store, nothing. just chinese browsers, chinese apps and the MI Store completely in, guess what, chinese.
And now I cannot flash any Rom. I tried to go back to other Roms, like the german miuidecuro_REDMINOTE2_5.9.24_5.0 that i used before but nothing worked. I keep getting an error telling me "Install update.zip signature verification failed" I wiped all data, made a factory reset but nothing worked. I would even be happy to have the oppomart version back. It was annoying but had at least the playstore
Please help me
If you have any rom > 5.10.15 you can't flash previously roms.

Thanks. I never used TWRP. Do I have to download and install it on the phone as an apk file or on the Computer? Sorry I am new and when I google these things I only get more confused. What is the difference between the flashtools MiPhone2015731 and TWRP?
Is it possible to use Stock Android on the note 2 instead of MIUI?

Xioami has started to use licence or something for their roms. So multilanguage rom cant acceptable anymore on orginal system. Twrp is recovery mod for Android devices. Its very simple to install and use. And no you cant. Because nobody doesnt make any stable aosp or something rom. We are waiting.
mee to.
put rom file into internal sotrage, then update ok.
Visit TWRP by going to install and then there must be a hack because you have to do away
Ok. Is there a TWRP App for all phones or does it have to be for Redmi Note 2?
I download the apk, put it on the SD Card and install it from there, is that right? Can I flash the hermes rom from there for Europe?
I never did that so I really have no clue how to do that. The phone is nearly useless right now. I gotta fix this somehow. Thanks for everyone who helps

Hi.
Cant you install a rooted stock rom with stock recovery? Then you need the right TWRP for our phone.
Heres one place where you can find it. http://www.mediafire.com/download/6sf0fsm8vx2o948/twrp287.zip
First try flash it with Mi recovery.
If not you need to download an app from playstore "flashify" with it you flash TWRP. You need a img file so you may have to unzip the recovery.zip
I have flashed Xiaomi.EU 5.10.8 Weekly which is rock stable. You should flash Chainfires last Supersu and install Google Now Launcher if you like something more "stock" and have a appdrawer..
Thanks
Knievel
...
Ok thanks I will try that. A few hours ago I managed to flash the xiaomi.eu european version of the 5.10.15. Can I stll flash Roms with that?
Another problem is that I cannot use Xposed Installer and google now launcher. Is that normal?

ok good.
Then i would go to play store an download Flashify . Unzip the TWRP zip, and flash the recovery.img with flashify.
You can also backup kernel and recovery with this app. Its very easy and straight forward.
When you got flashed TWRP , use a file explorer with root privileges and delete the file "recovery-from-boot.bak" placed in System folder. If not you may loose TWRP after reboot.
TWRP is vital so you can make an nandroid backup of everything if/when something goes wrong. And of course flash everything else.
About Google Now Launcher, flash last Supersu zip from Chainfire in TWRP. Then you get permission to change default launcher.
I dont use Xposed for now so you have to Google it.
Only thing i miss is "Reboot to recovery" option, but a lot of apps can do this.
Thanks
Knievel

Ok thanks, I downloaded it. What exactly is the difference between Boot Image and Recovery Image?
Is there an AOSP Rom you can recommend? I really want to get rid of MIUI.

Hi.
Boot image here is kernel.
Im no big fan of Miui myself , but with the right launcher its quite ok.
I have tried a couple of the aosp roms here on Xda . Find them a little buggy, and battery life isnt very good either compared to Miui.
If/when Xiaomi release all needed sources, i think we will get good and stable Aosp and CM roms to flash too.
Thanks
Knievel

Yes I don't like it either. But there are too many bugs in the Custom Roms. I just want a bug free Rom where I can use xposed

Just unzip the twrp zip. You can do it with a Root Explorer. Then you get a img file.
This img file you can flash with an app called Flazhify ( Google play Store, its free ).
Have you tried this?

Hi,
My phone came with 7.00.66 and it's not rooted. I tried to flash xiaomi eu roms via updater app, but it failed several times.
Also i tried to install twrp via updater app, but it also failed. Can you help me please. :crying:
I was thinking to do this:
1) flash official developer rom via updater app, and hopefully it won't show error, because it is official rom , and it is rooted (?)
2) flash twrp using this method
HOW TO FLASH TWRP RECOVERY VIA FLASHIFY
Warning: Redmi note 2 only (other phone need specific image)
Me and this forum are not responsable for any damage. Do at your own risk
1. download flashify app from playstore and give root acces
2. download img of twrp for redmi 2 note and put in your sd card (I prefer sdext root folder)
3. Open flashify, select "recovery image", find the img file you've downloaded
4. confirm flash, wait until it's done
5. you're now ready to reboot in twrp pressing "reboot now" from flashify.
you can also turn off your phone, press power and volume up and you'll be in twrp.
3) install xiaomi eu rom with twrp
Is this correct way?

Hi. Lets check first your IMEI. So.. dial *#06# and see if your IMEI are there!
If you have IMEI you must check if you have custom recovery like TWRP, CWM, CARLIV, ETC, ETC.
If you have custom recovery things are easy.
Go to General section/How about some modems post. Download KitKat modems and flash untill you have signal.
If you dont have custom recovery you must install one.
Go to Q&A section / Rooting tutorial for KitKat. There you will find an tutorial to how to!
Tell us where you dont know !

What you have is ROW from Baralajbi.
This firmware is an impruved part of chinese firmware.
If you want to install a custom recovery take a screenshot of your firmware and post here.
The screenshot must be from: Settings/About Phone so i can see your firmware name and your modem.
If you want to do a team viewer session PM me.
Let me know your country so i know what time you are, like +2, +3, +4, etc

A firend of mine got a problem with his Lenovo, so we thought about reflashing it.
Unfortunattely we are not sure if it is CN or Row version.
The rom flashed on it is VIBEUI_V1.5_1423_9_P780_baralajbiV7
However reading the forum I'm not only not able to choose between CN and Row, but what are CN+ and Row+ versions?

Hi. Your firmware is based on Chinese firmware.
CN+ or ROW+ are modified layout firmware so you can flash latest kernel and latest TWRP.
Partitions are modified to be bigger. TWRP has grown from 6.1 mb to 12 mb and dont fitt in original recovery partition. Kernel its allmost the same thing.
Read here for + versions. Its the post of original developer.

For me is MIUI from USNKREAL.

I love MIUI (however moved to Resurrection Remix, coz their LP build made me love it more) and, between Roms available here on XDA, would probably choose it. But It's not my choice. I'm here to repair NVRAM, but cannot do it on this build, so first need to reflash it, but as it;'s my first time with this device, I wasn't sure about this CN, Row, CN+ and Row+, and preferred to ask than looking for ways to unbrick it later.

Ok. But let me tell you one thing!
I have ROW version of the phone.
I am using CN based firmware.
Only i have to change was the modem software!
Works like charm!
MIUI is updated with latest Android Security Patches.
Your phone is ROW but have installed CN based firmware.
Sooo... you can use any of CN or ROW firmware. Modem software makes the diference.
You can try to get the phone in META MODE by powering down the phone, then power on with the buttons POWER and VOL - pressed together.
If the message: YOU HAVE BEEN IN META MODE TOO LONG.... appears you can flash ahain your IMEI, ofcorce respecting that tutorial.
Good Luck.
So if I flash CN modem on Row phone, all the problem will be no signal, and than flashing right modem will make it OK? It won't brick the device?
But how do You recognized that it's Row mode? It was bought form Aliexpress so as well he could bought CN model. It doesn't have LTE modem to make so big difference.

Flashing modem software for this kind of phone wil not brick your phone or signal.
In china phones dont use 800 mhz frequency. It is forbidden. So in hardware they dont have seccond chipset on modem, row phones have the seccond chipset for 800 mhz frequency.
Flashing cn modem software will not afect the phone, only the gsm signal received. In some area where your gsm provider antenna works on 800 mhz your phone will not have signal.
That is it.
Thought that there is more risk
But got confirmation that it's Row, as it had Google Play OOTB and CN ones don't have it.

If the message: YOU HAVE BEEN IN META MODE TOO LONG.... appears you can flash ahain your IMEI, ofcorce respecting that tutorial.
Good Luck.

Hi.
If you FLASH Row based firmware, over CN based firmware, nothing will happen. FLASH mean, using SP Flash Tool. The phone will start normal with Chinese software. After this you can use CN zip file firmware, like MIUI.
If you INSTALL Row zip file over CN based firmware, you will softbrick the phone.
This applies only to P780. Maybe there are phones that use the same technology, and i do not know the precise brand.
Hope this will answer your question.

Hi,
I still don't understand how to check the phone version. It's not my phone, so can You just point me a stable rom without preinstalled chinese apps etc. ?
This one is installed: VIBEUI_.V2.0_9439_7.10.1_DEV_P780
Thanks

Hi. Your layout is CN.
Look if you have custom recovery TWRP Installed.
If you have TWRP installed you can go to this post and install latest MIUI MINOVO.
Good luck.
I have P780 with VIBEUI_V2.0_1443_7.25.1_ST ROM, it also has TWRP installed.
Is this CN or ROW?

All firmware that contains VIBEUI is CN based.

Ok. But let me tell you one thing!
I have ROW version of the phone.
I am using CN based firmware.
Only i have to change was the modem software!
Works like charm!
MIUI is updated with latest Android Security Patches.
Your phone is ROW but have installed CN based firmware.

I have read a lot of articles in 3 days on XDA for my P780.
And the most of them are of you Stympy, but I'm a bit of mess.
I Bought my device from China "Minideal", I asked it rooted but now with serch on it I saw that its not. I don't know wich recovery mode it has. But for sure its not TWRP.
My ROM version is VIBEROM_V1.0_1347_3_ST_P780 so I must serch for CN or ROW to install on it. The diference on that 2 is from what I read the frequency only or the languish too. CN has only Chinise and English? ROW is multilanguish? This moment I have multilanguish on phone because I use Greek.
The phone had 3 years the same ROM and has launched not working properly.:cyclops:
As I have said above I have read enough articles and I'm confused about the upgrade process. Others are older versions, other files there are no longer on posts. The process is not written so clear. HELP PLEASE...

Hi.
Your firmware currently installed is Chinese for sure. Its old allright! All stock firmware is old because Lenovo builders gived up on this nice phone.
So... first thing first...
You must upgrade your system first in order to install one custom firmware. I think is what you want.
To upgrade your system you must work with SP FLASH TOOL. SP Flash tool is not a program to play with if you dont know what are you doing. 99% of people who used this tool and did not know how to... corupted NVRAM and lost their IMEI.
So... lets begin.
A. Tool to be downloaded:
1. SP Flash Tool V.5 and v.3. This 2 tools are made for Lenovo P780.
2. Divers like zip file and exe file.
3. Firmware multilanguage for your phone. This firmware is CN Based but dont wory to mutch, is custom made and compiled for multilanguage and is working well. I used very long time.
4. TWRP custom recovery.
B. Drivers installation procedure.
1. First drivers instalation. This small tutorial is for installing drivers if you never installed on your device:
1.1 First install the .exe file. Reboot PC.
1.2. After reboot plug the phone (powered on) to the PC and new hardware wizard will appear. Install driver if windows will wants too.
1.3. Now power off the phone. And open the Device Manager.
1.4. Again plug the phone to the PC or laptop this time powered off.
1.5. At this time in Device Manager appeared for a second or two not in PORTS area something with.. MTK65xx...
1.6. Click very fast on it because that will dessapear very fast.
1.7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver. Browse for the driver unzipped. Install.... yes yes... next next... blah blah.... Finnish. . And voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
C. Flashing procedure:
1. now... turn off your phone
2. plug your USB cable in your computer
3. do not plug your USB cable in your phone
4. open Flash Tool and unzip the firmware. Remember the adress of your folder where you unzipped the firmware. Load scatter file from that folder.
5. check DA,DL WITH CHECKSUM (NOT OPTIONAL)for v.3 not for v.5. Version 5 is allready checked. Look at those 2 pictures attached.
6. press Firmware Upgrade button (NOT DOWNLOAD BUTTON). For version 5 select FIRMWARE UPGRADE. Look at those 2 pictures attached.
7. now... just now plug usb cable to your phone.
8. firmware flash should start.(some red and other color lines should appear)
9. iff the firmware is not starting remove the back case of your phone and hold pressed the little red button from the right side, for about 20 seconds then release. All this must be done with cable pluged in to your phone.
9. after flash is done a green circle or some ok should appear
10. disconect your phone and power on your phone
11. lenovo logo should appear. then you should be pacient because it will took some time before android boots for the first time.
12. Reboot at least once, then your phone is ready to work HARD.
D. Installing TWRP. This custom recovery is good for custom firmware and full system backup.
Power Off your phone.
1. After power off your phone open Flash Tool and browse for the scatter file your folder where are the recovery.img and scatter file.
2. Now comes the tricky part . Creeate a new folder on your Desktop. In that new folder copy TWRP recovery and scatter file from your firmware folder.
3. Now load the scatter file and mark DA DL with check sum in SP Flash Tool v3. In SP Flash Tool v 5 dont need. They are allready selected. Recovery.img should appear checked. If not, checkit.
4. Press Download NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
5. Now, just now plug the cabble on your phone. Download should start and a green circle should appear.
6. After this you should have custom recovery TWRP installed.
7. Then boot directly to recovery your phone by pressing power with vol + and vol - butons together. Not Optional because TWRP will overitten by some files and stock recovery will appear.
8. After you entered in TWRP look arrownd to see what is there and after your curiosity is satified reboot to system.
E. After all this steps are done your firmware and your phone is ready to install custom firmware, i mean CN based custom firmware.
This is it. You have a custom firmware ready phone.
------ SAGA CONTINUES -----
F. There is some new form of layout for this phone appeared recently in order to prepare the phone for more bigger custom firmware like MIUI.
This new form called "+" layout is developed by Andreya108 and is made specialy for this P780.
You can see Andreya108 work here.
Based on his work i have creeated this firmware.
Remember this firmware is creeated to support newer firmware released by this magic developers.
You can find this firmware here.
To install this firmware you must follow all the steps except D point steps. Those firmware are prepared allready with TWRP.
Hope this tutorials will help you.
If you have another questions just quote me.
Good luck.

after an adventure with the indian SH.T rom i'm stuck to TWRP and I accidentally erased the internal memory, so no zip to flash is available :crying:
with adb sideload it says cannot read rom.zip (i've renamed it)
please help :crying:
Solved, the solution was to "sideload" a custom rom. Solved with "Revolution_15s_Pure_Edition".

Please search on how to install a ROM. If you get to fastboot, then you can run twrp. Wipe your internal storage as your data partition has been encrypted. Then simply install ROM as normal, but if you look around, these answers would be available. Always search first.
!?!? Could you please read the post above yours ?!?
Anyway thank you.

Obviously you have solved your problem and initial post may have not been necessary. I have several devices and they all have some differences, but they are all Android and basically the same. So more often than not, even certain processes, such as ADB, will work. Glad to hear all is well, take care.

If the phone has Indian or Chinese 15s, only TWRP found on Revolution_15s_Pure_Edition topic works. That TWRP is bugged and does not allow sideloading official 15s ROMs
In this case, sideload the Revolution_15s_Pure_Edition as per Original Poster's comment and copy the official 15s ROM zip to the root of SDCard using Windows Explorer. Boot again into TWRP and install that zip from there.
To use CM13 ROM by TeamSpain, download 14s Chinese ROM and install it. Then it allows to install the CM13 ROM's TWRP. Revolution_15s_Pure_Edition topic's TWRP installs CM13 ROM but the phone fails to boot.
Apparently, TWRP needs an update to work correctly with 15s ROMS.

I have a few questions re TWRP:
1.
Are there different versions available for the X720? If yes, which ones (including download link)?
I believe that I have installed this one ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862668751 ) which seems to differ from this one: http://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-leeco-le-pro-3/
2.
How are the partitions organized on the Le Pro 3? See also http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/ref-lex720-64gb-partition-infos-t3493528
What is the difference between system and systemimage (as shown in TWRP)?
3.
Does the Le Pro 3 TWRP port still have any bugs?
For instance, it says that system is not mounted and, therefore, I cannot easily restore system partition. I tried to mount it but thereafter the phone did not boot.
Is it normal that system apps get restored if I only restore the data partion?
Thanks.

Sometimes I have the same problem, /system couldn't be mounted.
I solved it like this:
In TWRP go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Check System Partition -> Repair or Change File System -> Change File System -> EXT4.
Has anyone installed this successfully on 727 US version?

On my x720 I use another one, the latest V4 from chinese sites :
https://mega.nz/#!EVcUCY4J!nN9r170x1eL9uvZg2p4h-q_M9T3I3HxcdSRigl2DNj4
I have now installed TWRP v4 but still have problems to restore a backup.
First, I backed up everything. I tried to restore boot, system, systemimage and data. I did not restore efs, recovery and firmware. Do I have to restore firmware? What is that? What is the difference between system and system image? In any case, I got a lot of errors and the phone is very slow after I restored boot, system, systemimage and data.
Thanks!
The TWRP versions I tried (including v4) have problems and do not reliably mount my encrypted data partition. (I had a similar problem with the initial TWRP ports for the Elephone P8000. The problems were fixed and subsequent ports worked without problems.)
Moreover, if I boot into TWRP recovery the screen is flickering from time to time (probably just a cosmetic issue).
Is there an updated TWRP version 5 or something? Could you please link to the Chinese website where the TWRP port for the LePro3 is made available? Thanks!
I am trying to unlock the bootloader right now using the fastboot oem unlock-go command and it is not working on the US variety. I have also enabled the oem unlocking in dev options, as well as, debugging. Has the US variant changed things to prevent the bootloader from being unlocked?

I can't install TWRP, it says it is finished but when entering recovery, still standard EUI recovery is there.
Tried the V4, but can't read what to do. Please help.
Running 18S original.
Edit: Finally worked! Press TWRP.bat from homescreen, enter a few times and all clear!
