Guys, I do realise Lenovo S750 is a new device, but since it's running on MTK6589 maybe there are any firmwares that can be installed on this device?
I got it with original chineese firmare, and since I managed to install google play store, I'm having some problems with GPS fix, and cannot cope with that. I think it's the firmware problem.
Do you have any info, concerning this model, or a modded firmware that can be used? I assume, the MTK6589 are not all the same, and the firmwares cannot be used as a replacement?
I've tried many times, but fortunatelly I've managed to run GPS also.
As a solution I paste for future how to run google play store and GPS firs for chineese MTK6589 chipset. Maybe someone will need it in the future.
Just one thing - make sure your phone is rotted - I got mine chineese already rooted.
You need a rotted file explored - I use ESfileExplorer - link below.
Download and copy the content of zip archive below. Copy this to either to you SD card, ord phone storage - just to locate it no problem.
Then run ES explorer (or any other), find that archive you copied above, and select all the files within. Copy them into system/app (make sure your root options in setting are all "checked"). Then find theese files in system/app dir (helpfull sorting the files by modification time), and change their atrributes to READ (all three USER/GROUP/OTHER) / WRITE (only to USER), leave everything else blank.
After that restart your phone. Then you should have the google play store available - enjoy
As for GPS fix, after doing the above, turn gps off, run explorer, and go to data/misc dir, find mtkgps file, and delete it, restart the phone. Ensure you wifi or net connection is on. Download Better GPS application, and GPS TEST from play store. Run bettergps - choose your continent and country. Then go to settings/ location access, run GPS there and tap it. Next enable EPO (download latest) and AGPS. Run GPS TEST place the phone either outside under sky, or near the window. It should connect within few seconds. If it does, you can disable AGPS and EPO, also uninstall BetterGPS app. For me, it catches fix in few secs now :laugh:
if any questions feel free to ask - ENJOY!!!

I don't know, what you're talking about, both GMAIL and preinstalled business calendar work no problem..... can you pls explain it?
Gmail works OK (Using GMAIL app) but the native email doesnt work, so other non-gmail accounts don't work - I have Exchange server & Hotmail accounts
The business calendar works but can only do a local (phone only) calendar so the exchange calendar doesnt work.
I use my phone for work and not having a calendar synced with exchange is critical.
Also I need to use other email accounts.

Ok since I don't use anything else except google - I can't veryfy what you're saying.
Maybe you should wait for other firmwares, which surerly will coume out soon
Yes, trying to find alternative. In the meantime, I tried to install GAPPS but didn't manage. I believe my first step is to install a cCWM recovery, but I haven't been able to find anything for this phone.
(Note - coming from Moto Defy; this process was easy - I'd download GAPPS then go into CWM; install ZIP from sdcard and bingo....
The recovery installed only allows updates and clean cache; no way to install a zip.
Any help on this appreciated as otherwise the phone works fine. However until I get mail & calendar working have to remain with my old Defy...

Here's another firmware from etotalk http://ge.tt/62Cz6Jl/v/0 it seems it's working well, calendards and sync are working. Comes rootted already, and with xperia lancher.
You just need to pun in the rom folder another file (which I don't know why is missing) secro.img look below - just paste the file in the unpacked rom folder before you run a flash tool.
Method of instalation, excatly as described in the 4th post from the begining- you just need flashtool and drivers - all explained up
In case of questions, feel free.

Indeed I have phone storage or SD card to choose.
But whatever choice I make, the phone reboot & the SD card seems to be absent when I ask to change location from one or other app installed before.. It changes location from phone storage to internal storage but no sd card..
Quick system info show me that :
SD storage : 2go
Second SD storage : 25go (my external sd card)
Internal storage : 1go
System storage : 640 mo
Cache storage : 250mo
Memory : 1 go
How could I choose the second SD card tho ?
Problem external card

A friend of mine had this issue. but this was only when trying through mobile data(for the first time). he connected to my hotspot and it was good then.
Hi,
my phone is:
Redmi 3 Pro
Android 5.1.1 LMY47V
Miui Global stable 7.3.2.0.0 (LHPCNDD)
After two weeks of perfect usage, a problem with Google services connection appeared:
can't sync, can't enter gmail, Play Market, can't add new Google account, etc.
I've tried:
deleting Play Market's cache - no results
removing current Google account - no success, "doesn't permitted by administrator"
add new Google account - no success, since there's no connection to Google services.
reinstall Google services - no success, phone isn't rooted
back to factory defaults - worked for another two weeks, but then the problem reappeared.
Two weird things:
once in a while, in a couple of days, connection reestablishes for a minute and a sync is done
after a restart of the phone, connection to Google is good, but disappears after 2-3 minutes.
Is there any things I can try to do before flashing a new ROM?
I also have this problem, don't know what to do! Please help some one...if you fix this problem please share your guides.
Your are using a Shop Rom (Unofficial Room from the seller).
Better flash the official Global room from Xiaomi http://en.miui.com/download-298.html
Or the unofficial from xiaomi.eu https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424944320

Try installing Google play games, when it runs it will hopefully prompt to install or update Google play services as required. See if that helps
Model ppo A77 - CPH1715
OS : ColorOS V3.0.0i
Problem : "System Supported Service" Eats about 500mb of mobile data everyday. Forced to turn off mobile data for good.
ColorOS have no option of restricting background data, or any further data settings.
Color OS have very minimum means of stopping specific app or service mobile data usage. Only setting global usage alarms.
Checked the list of services, unable to find any info anywhere.
Managed to find out that this "System Supported Service" is not :
1) Google services framework
2) OS system
3) Update services
4) Camera
5) Third Party apps
6) Google Sync
7) Downloads
Can someone help to shed some light on what this mythical "System Supported Service" beast is, and how to stop it? Will changing my OS help?
Can I use other versions, non ColorOS, of android OS on my Oppo A77?
Thank you in advance!
Update : oppoa77
Contacted Oppo via phone / email / and physical tech office.
Utterly useless, they refuse to acknowledge the problem even exists.
I show them the phone, they keep insisting its impossible, with no solutions.
They did a factory reset, but it is still happening with the ColorOS.
My only plan now is to to try installing Nougat.
This website claims I can install Nougat wout rooting :
myandroidnougat.com/oppo-a77-android-nougat-7-1-2-update/
Please advise. Thank you!
Anyway to root
Anyone have any advise for installing different OS on OPPO to swap out ColorOS?
Thank you in advance!

I found the post a month ago, but realized that it is the ONLY nougat update thread online right now.
They also have similar update for ALL models and brands, and most exist solely on their posts.
Very fishy, as these kind of updates should be global and more widely shared than one single website in the entire world. I messaged the webmaster but he did not reply. I even tracked him to his FB page but the page itself looks like a fake front.
Until there are more updates around, in more notable forums like this one, i would rather not risk bricking my current only mobile.
any luck for changing OS?i even thankful if someone just found a way to install TWRP recovery,or even root the phone
Any luck rooting this phone?
Hey, I am having the same issue. Don't know what this system supported service is but it is consuming 300-400mb data daily. Can anyone please help me
I bought the Y90 from Aliexpress and was assured the device will come with google play services and google play.
I understand the phone is a china ROM and I checked the bands for Australia and it seemed that it would work.
After receiving the phone, I tried to add my google account to the phone to begin to import my saved data and download apps.
However, all I get is "Couldn't Sign in there was a problem communicating with google servers try again later".
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (it is my first post) but this was the best place i could find with regard to lenovo china ROM related queries.
Also, is it possible to install a different ROM on this phone? (I've seen that a global ROM is generally required to install custom ROMS. I'm also a noob with this stuff so be nice)
Thank you!
Hi,
I also have the y90 after I recieved from china, I updated it and google play service stopped working.
I can try to send you the my gdrive link below:
google-play-services-22-18-20-040300-451484765.apk
drive.google.com
You can download from there and try installing the framework(google services apk) and install google playstore direct from the app gallery provided with legion y90 china.
you can also find the google services apk on uptodown.com website, I downloaded it from there.
First you need to remove the google play store and google play services from the app management in settings (clear storage and clear cache before uninstalling the google playstore and google services).
Then download the google services apk from my link and install the services then install the google playstore.
Enjoy your Legion y90.

Are you facing issue with lenovo legion y90 for notifications.
Whatsapp notifications and google notifications not popping up.
I somehow fixed it by reinstalling the google play services and it just worked.
Will definitely look at the app management section it seems it will come in handy.
Yes, I also have a problem will notifications for most applications just not coming through unless I physically enter the apps then the notifications will come through altogether. That's why im interested in a custom ROM hopefully someone can help with it in the near future..
Hello. You guys don't have contact contact issues? It gradually erases my contacts. I import them from a file to the phone memory and it does the same thing to me. I passed them to a microsoft account and still they keep disappearing.

Anyone wants to try to root?
Quick question to Y90 users, since I can't find the info anywhere else, what's the thickness of the Y90 at the edge and at the bump?
I've found in specs that the thickness of the phone is 10.1 mm but it doesn't specify if at the bump or not.
im receiving it cant sing in on google services, does anyone knows what to do ?
I found the issue go to settings > manage apps > ... > google services > activate it.
Then try again
