DISCLAIMER:
*Your warranty is now void, BUT will regain if you flash back the proper stock ROM.
*What you done to your phone is at your OWN RISK, you choose to do this modifications to your phone and don't blame me if anything goes wrong.
Preface:
Hi guys, I created this topic in order to help those who has difficulty finding stock ROM's for their P780. Plus I will tell you some info some precaution before you try flashing custom ROM's. -For All You Need Thread- :victory:
**I no longer own this phone, but I will still update this thread regularly. Still a power beast though
First thing first, before you download the ROM's please give me a :good: and read through my explanation about P780 ROM's ok?
All right, so you guys know P780 have shipped with 2 version, which is China version and International (ROW) version, and the P780 can use both version of ROM's vice-versa. (Alternatively, you can flash Vibe ROM as well. Its a stock ROM from Official China Lenovo.) Well, so what's the difference between China ROM's and International ROM's?
ROM [4GB]:
China ROM release history:
Does not include majority of Google apps, such as Play Store, Play Music, Search etc, but have many China bloatwares. Includes some useful features such as volume rocker wake. And only available in English & Chinese language. Other than that, it's just as same as the ROW version.
4GB partitioned as Data 2.5GB, Media 1GB
Available Versions are:
P780_S125_130529
P780_S129_130710
P780_S308_130814
P780_S135_300917
International ROM release history:
Includes Google apps, and it's multilingual, no China bloatwares, no extra features such as volume rocker wake but still got those free apps like Camscanner etc. Other than that, it's just as same as the China version. ROW - Rest Of World

4GB partitioned as Data 2.5GB, Media 1GB
According to some sources, China and ROW version have different type of baseband file which will affect your mobile's reception signal.

TWRP version is 2.6.3.0

Downloads Link Below
Warning: Do not flash for 4GB devices mod on 8GB devices or 8GB devices mod on 4GB devices, will causes bootloop and IMEI problems etc.
Booting Modes:
Power + Vol UP = Factory mode, which test, diagnostics, the device & phone info. (but it is in chinese)
Power + Vol DOWN = Meta mode, Mediatek specific mode, which used to perform some NAND alternative flashing process such as re-writing IMEI
Power + Vol UP + DOWN = Recovery mode.
Phone OFF + Connect USB Cable, SP flash mode.
Warning, this is really important for whom intended to flash custom ROM's, please read.
In XDA, there aren't many Custom ROM's available for our P780, but at the site needrom.com does have 10+ available ROM's at the moment, but many of it doesn't meant to flash over ROW version of base ROM, direct flashing custom ROM without changing your base ROM will result in soft-brick, which means boot-loop and the most common one is No IMEI, No baseband. This is an serious issue because No IMEI, No baseband will result your phone converted to an Android OS version of AndroidPod, because you can't make calls, SMS and data etc. If you didn't backup your IMEI and baseband before you flash custom ROM will result in PERMANENT SOFT-BRICK, the solution was to send back to service center for servicing. *Just like my phone, you wouldn't want that.
EDIT: Good news, my new discovery. Not permanent soft brick anymore, refer here if you want to revive your phone. :victory:

AGAIN... DISCLAIMER:
*Your warranty is probably void although it is official stock custom ROM from Lenovo, because your local phone dealer might not accept those customizations.
*What you done to your phone is at your OWN RISK, you choose to do this modifications to your phone and don't blame me if anything goes wrong.
Note:
Well, from official Vibe ROM website, it claimed that you can flash directly in stock Android recovery. However, if anyone willing to try let me know whether does it work or not. Below is the method I used when I am flashing Vibe ROM. But still, it is because those are China based ROM, so if you are on International ROW ROM, I still suggest you change base before flashing.
Installing ROM:
Coming from ROW ROM proceed with 1st step.
Coming from China ROM proceed with 4th step. Make a backup if necessary.
1. Turn On USB Debugging mode (ask Uncle Google if you don’t know how to do it)
2. Backup everything with MTKDroidTools IMPORTANT, DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! Read here post #3.
3. Flash any China based ROM S125 (Stock or @satanduck ROM) and above with SP Flash Tool (post #1)
4a. Boot into the China ROM you’ve flashed (Let the ROM at least clean boot once)
4b. OR you can skip to the 7th step in stock recovery and flash Vibe ROM, BUT it's not recommended because you probably cannot flash SuperSU zip or Gapps in the stock recovery, unless you want to have a clean, unrooted device)
4.5 (If the ROM is not rooted then you should root it first before installing MobileUncleTools
5. Install MobileUncleTools (post #1)
6. Flash CWM 6.0.2.8 (post #1)
In CWM
7. Install Vibe ROM
8. Install Gapps
9. Install SuperSU
10. Wipe data/cache (Factory Reset) and reboot. Done
*OTA updates are AVAILABLE if your phone is not rooted, modded or have custom recovery etc.
Rooting:
Framaroot DOES NOT work on Vibe ROM.
Credits to @Chainfire for the rooting solution. Thanks to him. :victory:
Note:
Strongly NOT recommended that you do OTA updates if the phone is rooted, modded or have custom recovery. It will possibly crashes your phone and causes your phone bootloop.

QUESTION:
Is Vibe ROM a stock rom provided from LENOVO because I am confused. If yes how can you get that?
Hi, nice initiative!
However I feel compelled to tell you that ROW and Chinese base has quite different partitioning layout, not just simply having different language and apps. As a result :
1) Custom recoveries are different
2) Re-partitioning tools are different
Failing to observe this may result in softbrick.
However when you flash from Flash Tool u flash also the partition layout. If you flash from recovery, some ROMs come with it (i.e. official vibe seems to) some don't.
Also worth noting before flashing any custom ROM is the factory ROM that came with the phone, if its ROW it may work better with ROW based radios, even if u do change base in the end.
Keep up the good work!

Personally, I am not recommended that you flash custom ROM. It is because the risk of soft-bricking it is high, unless you are really curious / hand itchy to do so. Else a Xposed mod will be enough.
Still wanna go on a flash Then you should make a full backup, please visit here and read post #3 and follow all the steps.

Nice instructions. Will probably try as soon as I have mine delivered (a couple of days more waiting).
About official vibe rom: What confuses me is the official web page w.w.viberom.com. Over there it has several lenovo models. Who supports that? (I am newbie in this so I can talk nonsense...)... I had also read somewhere that Lenovo is moving to vibe roms (I do not know what this means)
Is vibe rom power efficient as original lenovo roms (If vibe is not officilal or backed up by lenovo)
What is a bit frightening is than in your instructions (post #2) you have something about IMEI restore. So during this process do we loose IMEI's
Do you know if with VIBE roms supports 900 WCMA networks
Finally, VIBE rom is not yet at 4.4.x. Do you mean we will be updated by Lenovo or Vibe rom?
Thank you for your time!

From the website, I can confirmed it's provided by Lenovo. And I've edited post #2.
If wanna flash directly via recovery, I will suggest you will need to change to China based ROM S125 and above before flashing Vibe ROM (If you coming from International ROW ROM) and make a full backup of your stock ROM, this is because Vibe ROM is China based, no Gapps or root included by default, and have a lot of Lenovo bloatwares, but it also includes some amazing features and apps as well.
I take so many precaution with IMEI issues this is because last time I bricked my P780, so now I make a full backup in case if anything goes wrong.
Regarding about WCDMA 900MHz networks, I have no idea, probably it's hardware based limitation. If the hardware supports 900MHz networks then it should be working on 900MHz networks.
4.4 KitKat, no idea.
Thak you for the info!

So, this custom Vibe ROM is KitKat version? And the first part of your sentence referred to OTA official P780 custom ROM? (Because I notice it's 4.2.2). So, if not, is there any 4.4 custom ROM available that seems to work smoothly?

"For quite a while you are using your LG G2 mini. You like the simplicity of Android 4.4/5.0.2 and you think LG did a good job on the UI. You live you life happily with the phone. But after a while you feel something is missing. you want more.
You googled "How to make my device awesome again" and you saw difficult terms, such as root, flashing, recovery and bootloader. You didn't know what they meant, but you knew you have to understand these terms and apply them to make your phone awesome again."
The steps to make your phone awesome again are fairly simple:
perform these steps in order from top to bottom. Do not skip any.
--Rooting--
"Yes... I remember seeing this term.. I vaguely remember something related to permissions.. but I am not totally sure what this means."
Root - The root directory of your phone. The home directory for all your important system files.
Rooting - Normally, you don't have access to this directory, since the manufacturer doesn't want you to mess with it. Rooting means you will give yourself access to this directory. Why do you want access to this directory? Because later on we will need access to it to change some files.
Most common question asked is: will this void my warranty? YES
How to Gain Root Access
Android 4.4
There are a few methods to try. If one fails, you will continue until you succeed.
Method 1
1. Go to this link
2. Click on the big lambda in the middle of the page ( ? )
3. Install the app on your phone
4. Run the app and tap on "make it rain"
5. Your phone will reboot
6. Download SuperSU from here. This app is a root access management tool, and it allows you to give certain apps root permissions.
7. The app might ask you to "update binaries". If so, let it update.
Optional: Install this app to make sure you have root access.
Method 2
Go to this link and follow the instructions.
Android 5.0.1
There is only one method for rooting on this version.
Method 1
1. Go to this link and follow the instructions
--Unlock Bootloader--
"Bootloader.... is that a machine that loads boots?"
Bootloader - Code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. A bootloader is usually locked on an Android device because although it’s an open source OS, still the manufacturers want you to stick to their Android OS version specifically designed for the device. In order to apply this concept, manufacturers lock the bootloader. With a locked bootloader on Android devices, it is virtually impossible to flash a Custom ROM.
Most common question asked is: why do I need to unlock my bootloader? Unlocking the bootloader allows you to install custom Firmware on your Android phone.
How to Unlock the Bootloader
It is advised to be on Android 5.0.2 to unlock bootloader.
Android 4.4
There Is only one specific guide for the d620 / d620r models.

Android 5.0.2

--Custom recovery--
"After reading so much I think I need to be recovered myself!"
Recovery - Software that can be used to restore the device to factory default settings, update its operating system, and perform other diagnostic tasks. A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. A custom recovery environment will do the same things as the stock Android recovery. However, it will also have additional features. Custom recoveries often have the ability to create and restore device backups.
TWRP - Team Work Recovery Project is the most common custom recovery out there. It is highly advised to use it, since other recoveries made for this device are old and unstable.
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom recovery? Custom recoveries allow you to install custom software such as ROMs and kernels.
How to Flash a Custom Recovery
1. If you already have a custom recovery, enter it and flash the new recovery zip.
2. If not, download and install THIS app and flash though it the recovery zip. Then you'll be able to enter the custom recovery.
All Android Versions
There are several versions of TWRP. It is recommended to use the latest version, though using an older version won't hurt.
1. Go to HERE for Twrp 3.0.2.0
2. Go to HERE for TWRP 2.8.7.0
--Custom Rom--
"That was it? It was so easy!"
Rom - stands for “read-only memory.” A custom ROM replaces your device’s Android operating system — normally stored in read-only memory — with a new version of the Android operating system. Custom roms usually have added features not available in stock Android.
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom ROM? Read THIS article.
I'm sorry for any left out roms. A lot are old and not updated or contain bugs. An updated list of them can be found at all time in the "Android Development" section.
How to Flash a Custom Rom
1. Download a custom rom to your sd-card.
2. Enter twrp recovery.
3. Make a backup of system, data, boot and cache.
4. Flash the custom rom.
5. Optional: flash Gapps.
6. Reboot to system.

--Custom Kernel--
"I'm going deeper... so deep, I'm almost at the kernel!"
Kernel - The kernel is the piece of software that bridges the gap between the operating system (and installed apps) and the hardware in the device. Everything you do on your device involves the kernel. Increasing the volume while playing a video? Android doesn’t directly tell the speakers to increase output. Instead, it tells the kernel that it wants to increase the volume, and the kernel talks to the speaker to increase its output.
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom KERNEL? Read THIS article.
How to Flash a Custom Kernel
1. Download a custom kernel to your sd-card.
2. Enter twrp recovery.
3. Make a backup of BOOT
4. Flash the custom kernel
5. Reboot to system.

Please do not quote the whole post.
The LG G2 mini Tegra edition is very different from the other varients. It has a different board and uses other components. Unfortunately, to this day there is no way of unlocking it's bootloader, but even if it could be unlocked, there is no rom development for it. I don't know about rooting it, but from my knowledge, there wasn't ever a serious discussion about rooting it. The main reason is this phone is mostly seen in Latin America, while the rest of the world uses the "normal" version of the phone.

Hi,
I have a LG G2 Mini D620 which is still on KitKat 4.4.2. It never got an OTA update to Lollipop.
It has:
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c8-00012-M8926DAAAANAZM-1
Build Number: KOT49I.A1404447153
Software version: V10g-EUR-XX
It is rooted.
What I would like to do is upgrade it to at least lollipop. Stock lollipop is fine (custom rom is not a must).
Can you point me in the right direction as to what would be the best way to achieve this?
Regards.
You can find the version you want http://lg-phone-firmware.com/mobile/ and flash it to your phone

Good morning,
I would really appreciate some hints to solve my Problem with Honor 5X and Lineageos 14.1.
What have I done so far:
Bought a Honor 5X -> success
Unlocked bootloader officially -> success
Installed TWRP newest Version -> success
Downloaded lineageps 14.1 newest for kiwi -> success
moved lineageos zip to phone -> success
boot into recovery -> success
wipe Cache / etc -> success
install zip for lineageos 14.1 -> error 7
From reading a little bit here, I got the idea, that the bootloader is too old for lineageos 14.1. I am not an Honor Expert, but the phone Show something lime emui 3.something.
What do I have now:
Phone with:
running twrp
running fastboot
What I do not have:
adb backup of phone
twrp backup of phone
I would like to have the phone back up and running, even stock Image would be fine. Lineageos prefered.
Kind regards

I guess you are still on emui3, so lollipop version Android 5.
First: update to a marshmallow Android 6 version, BUT NOT the most recent. Check with update what is the version proposed and give number here.
But you need stock recovery for that...
You should:
Unlock bootloader
Update software/Fw to Android 6 , emui 4, bxxx version <= b340.
Boot in twrp recovery : make nandroid backup1
Flash twrp recovery, flash root, check all OK and make backup2
Then with both backups, you re safe to play with custom roms.
Some more questions....

Dear Rodolphe,
thanks a lot for your help.
Could you please give me some more hints?
My bootloader is already unlocked and TWRP is up and running. So far, that is done.
The phone runs now TWRP and fastboot only, nothing else.
How do I do this task: Update software/Fw to Android 6 , emui 4, bxxx version <= b340
I guess download this b340 fw/sw as a zip and install via TWRP?

Hi, you must return to stock recovery. Find the thread honor5x depot and get it based on model.
Then i think once stock recovery reinstalled, you can update in emui via settings>about phone.
What is **** is, if you update too much, you wont be able to flash ROM because of volte Fw. Thats why you need to check bxxx version of update to be sure to be less than b350.
Otherwise, you need to update manually with for example application firmware finder (playstore). Dont hesitate to search in threads your case. Some people may have face same request/issue

Download Marshmallow firmware manually (Google or use Firmware updater app/site) and install it via dload or via EMUI updater (5.1.1 has an "Upgrade manually" option). That's a KIW-L21? You won't get VoLTE anyway, install whatever you find for it (latest I know about is B350 CUSTC432D003, available on Polish Honor site). After that, flash TWRP and flash whatever you want.
Yahoooooo and thanks a lot again!
I have found the danish update.app for android 6, put it on MicroSD and installed it with the update app.
Now the phone
runs on Android 6.0.1
is Kiwi L21
is EMUI 4.0
is Baseband 20234,20234.
Will installing lineageos14.1 on top of this work or would I get Error 7 again?
I am a bit careful after the first try with lineageos14.1 and EMUI 3.1.

Pictures posted above are in too low resolution to be red....
But now you should boot in twrp to make a nandroid backup of all stock with adb (find in threads).
Then you flash twrp and backup again with twrp and emui.
So in case of issues you re covered. Then try flashing los

I have found the danish update.app for android 6, put it on MicroSD and installed it with the update app.
Now the phone
runs on Android 6.0.1
is Kiwi L21
is EMUI 4.0
is Baseband 20234,20234.
Will installing lineageos14.1 on top of this work or would I get Error 7 again?
I am a bit careful after the first try with lineageos14.1 and EMUI 3.1.
Kind regards

B340 will be ok? The update app offers an OTA with B340.
Now I have a proper TWRP and Adebar backup (adb Linux script framework).
I will give Lineageos 14.1 a try in the next days.
Thanks a lot for the good hints.
Bye bye

Any non-VoLTE Marshmallow firmware will be OK. My KIW-L21 was on B350D003 before flashing, everything is great.
Finally ! Lineageos

Hi everybody,
it is done! The Honor 5X now runs on Lineageos.
Thanks a lot for the help and the good hints.
The reason for the problem with EMUI 3.1 and Error 7 was not obvious to me. I have read some installation guides and many of them ignore that you cannot install lineageos 14.1 up on EMUI 3.1. Good luck I found this forum.

Great! Welcome onboard on custom ROM.
I would suggest you RR,aex or crdroid if you want extra features. Of course backup your los first
Install KIW L21 B320 stock
Flash twrp
Nandroid backup
Wipe cache, dalvick cache, system, data
Flash lineage
Reboot then flash gapps and SuperSU or magisk
You will have no problems with this method

Booting stock ROM seems to work. However, flashing Gapps package 9.0 gives error saying the ROM is SDK23 (or Android 6.0).

You should flash a gapps suit for Android 10.0.

Thanks. I was not sure since OEM is still 9 and Gapps 10 was not yet available for download on official website. Tried from Cyanogen website Gapps 10 (full, pico) but 'Android Setup keeps stopping'. Tried from XDA BiTGApps, does not have Android Setup and works.
Will keep you posted here on how ROM behaves.

Delete it.
After installing ROM directly enter twrp and flash gapps ?
Seems to work
So I tested the rom for some time now.
It indeed restarts at some random moments just idling laying on the desk. Do not yet have an understanding why this is. However it is not that often that it is annoying.
Magisk works perfectly.
BitGApps does also work.
A lot of notifications saying app versions are not made for Android 10, try to update while having latest installed. Guess this is a Android 10 issue?
Netflix does not seem to work keeps giving connection error (9).
At startup the notification always pops up saying there is a problem with the android system.
Sometimes text in apps or launcher vanishes until restart.
Thanks for all the work!
Please make stable project treble for pie
Are there any near future plans for updates to make this ROM more stable? Or can I provide error logs to contribute?
The rebooting is getting worse and more annoying. I'm in doubt to get back to old ROM.
Thanks in advance.

Hi. I want to try this project but I'm not sure how to do this. I tried once but I failed. Can someone tell me what's wrong? Thanks. Here's what I tried (bootloader is already unlocked):
1. flash "41.3.A.2.247. Customization : Customized US" using flashtool.
2. fastboot flash oem vendor.img
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. fastboot flash system <GSI Image>
where <GSI Image> is downloaded from [here](https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...evice-development/lineage-phh-treble-t3767690) following [this](https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/) tutorial. The download link in [phh-Treble AOSP Thread](https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659) is dead.
5. Bootloop. Doesn't even get pass the sony logo.

Hi,
Did you try to contact the dev through the ROM's thread ?
And also did you clean wiped your device before flashing kali ?
Did you have an up to date TWRP when flashing ?
Because bootloops can either be caused by you flashing the file wrong or the ROM itself. If you did everything correctly it comes from the ROM, and the dev will be the only person able to find what's wrong with its build.
Thx but I have figured it out
