Hi to all!
I recently bought this phone, I have to admit to being fully satisfied of the features except for one ... the GPS function.
I have read dozens of guides to adjust the GPS W8+ but not for my model. If I knew how to do the root I could at least try to use the same method.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to do it on this phone?

So I got mine W8 beyond two days ago.
So far so good, but:
1. GPS problem. I am geocacher (more at: geocaching.com) and I need accurate GPS. When I stood still in the open for few minutes, I could see GPS jumping around for 400-900 meters for no reason. AGPS and EPO activated. We will see how it goes
2. I would love to get polish language settings, since there are some apps which fetch the content depending on Your language setting (I know that this is poor design, but this is how they works), so that would be nice. Not an issue anymore. I installed MoreLocale2 and pm'ed it which is more than enough at the moment.
3. I do not see option for sorting the apps in the main apps menu (it was working on my old Lenovo A750) - am I missing something?First 9 icons are fixed and alphabelical, the rest is just alphabetical. I can live with that.
4. I have my contacts stored with country prefix which is not used by my operator. I do not see my contacts data when they are calling me.
The SMSes are provided by operator with country prefix, so the problem is with calls only. I tried to follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268120 but I am unable to decompile framework.jar - no classes.dex inside. I am not able to deodex framework.odex either, so I am stuck for the moment.GravityMod2 3.0 ROM fixed that problem.
The link provided with the tools and howto contains W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618-cwm6033.img,
when I go to phone info at my phone I can see W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM8P128_MT6589TV1.0.2_20130626.
Seems like I have newer firmware. If anyone can tell me how to extract this, I would be more than happy to share.
GravityMod2 3.0 installed - not an issue anymore
For my good old Lenovo I was able to modify the ROM as soon as I got my hands on any ROM in zip format. I guess I could also try to compile something (I am a programmer), but since I am extremely low on time I would need MT6589T kernel patch (is it the same like mt6589) and some basic manual.
Anyone interested?

Thanks, but I got A-GPS and EPO already enabled and EPO downloaded.
I till try to go to the engineering menu and locking via YGPS.
As I understood from google translator, I should just wait for lock and then close everything. Since then everything should be running smoothly. Am I right?
What about my other questions? Lack of polish is driving my crazy. My news feeds are all US which is driving me crazy ...
w8 beyond dead
Guys ..... HELP!!!!
with my habit of fiddling I think I brick the cell.
I tried the guide for root and recovery for the beyond, but now I can not turn on anymore, not even in recovery mode, the LED does not light up even if I put it on charge.
Can anyone give me some advice on where I can start to revive the terminal?
Thanks in advance. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

I am not sure if it helps (I am quite sure it does not acctually), but which version was running on your phone prior to root attempt? Which part has failed? writting the CWM image or rooting?
Try to connect the phone to the PC via usb and then turning it on. If PC reacts (ADB device as far as I rememeber will be recognized) then there might be chance for You.

Hi guys,
I am having trouble to install the drivers for the THL W8 Beyond that I have. My model is:
W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618
When connecting it to the computer it will install HTC drivers under Android Phone entry in device manager and also W8 Beyond under Portable Device.
I cannot root the phone using the msdos script or SP Flash tool. Also Snapea does not see the device. On the same computer I used a ZOPO C2 Platinum and Snapea found that instantly and I could rooted and also pushed a custom ROM.
Now... wish I could also root this THL to be able to back-up my stock ROM. No need for me to work with a custom, just need to be able to back-up the original ROM just to be safe.
Can you please help me in regards to the communication problem between computer with Win 7 64bit and the THL W8 Beyond phone?
Thank you.

The easiest and only way i could root my W8 beyond is with this program:
droidchina.com/forum/Thread-ROOT-GUI-Root-Wizard-for-MTK65xx-phones
I have just received my Iocean X7 Elite and was about to install a new rom. I had successfully rooted the device and then was trying to flash
the recovery with SP Flash Tool.
After the recovery flashed my phone refuses to turn on I believe its somehow bricked but have no idea how this could have happened. I did
format flash i only downloaded the recovery to the device.
In Device Manager when i plug the phone it it either shows up as 'DA USB VCOM Port' or 'MTK USB Port'.
When I try to use SP Tool to flash the stock Rom back onto the device I get an error saying 'BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL(4032)'
I have no idea what to do next can someone help me.
I have tried what this thread suggests:
bump
same as u..but differ phone model.(N9589)
had a few upgrd...til the recent brick it.
Tried a few version of flash tool and still the same

Same problem here - tried to install stock firmware and got this error...
these are common problems when flashing MT65xx based phones,
ie : error 4008, 4xxx, 5xxx whatever those codes mean, no explanation after extensive search on google.
once I managed to flash this one phone successfully, but I don't know exactly what I did.
as long as I recall, I tried to delete the whole flashtool folders, re-extract them, let the phone cool down a bit
and oh, try to press volume up, or down button (varies on devices) while connecting to USB, once the flashing progress bar starts, release the button.
In the flashtool option, at the OPTIONS-->DA DOWNLOAD ALL-->, check WITHOUT BATTERY.
and in the option, DA DOWNLOAD ALL--> SPEED, check DO NOT SWITCH SPEED.
try flashing your phone without battery inserted, it works many times for me.
NOTE : BEWARE, flashing your MTK65xx based phone, sometimes this tool tried to REMOVE YOUR PHONE's IMEI information, so take caution !
I haven't managed how to prevent IMEI removal when flashing those phones, because I'm not a developer.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply, but this doesn't help... ;(
Anyone?
I think I figured out that the error above means you are trying to flash an incorrect ROM. Make sure you are using the right one and also make sure you're using the latest version of sp flash tool.
Once I downloaded a later version of the flash tool it began installing the ROM but then a different error appeared.
So I formatted the nand with the sp flash tool.
Then I flashed the stock ROM again and it worked
Formatting it seemed to make the errors go away even though its advised not to do so.

Iocean X7 Youth
I don't have the same problem but i flashed the latest version of official rom for iOcean x7 Youth : 03 july 2013 : and wtf no more internal sdcard only the rom stockage. So i can't download anything, i can't use camera .
On the official website, I read that before flashing the 20 may 2013 rom one and the 03 July 2013 one, your baseband version have to be 23/04 or higher( you have to flash the 23/04 official rom first). This is only avalaible for the YOUTH version.
So tomorrow i will try what i said below to see if i have internal sd card again.
noob question::: since the iocean x7 young and turbo are the same phones...only different clock rates...will flashing the firmware for turbo on iocean x7 young work??assuming that the mtk6589T and mtk6589 are the same chipset only different clock rates??

Clearly: Wrong driver. I had also this error. SPflash tool did not readback. I did not flash anything! I fixed this by showing the nonpresent devices in devicemanagement (google for show nonpresent devices for explanation)
Go to com ports, and delete all mediatek drivers except preloader driver. Now start over. It can help if you choose the same usb port where you had success last time.
SP flash tool shows in the statusbar which driver it is using.

Hi all,
Recently got a Lenovo P780 4gb, Chinese version.
It came with VIBE UI 1.0, installed by the vendor.
Now, I wanted to have a different ROM without the Chinese characters here and there, and reading through the forums, I decided to flash a stock ROW version, and then upgrade to another custom ROM.
So I downloaded the 4Gb P780_S123_ROW_131231 version from elsewhere on the forum.
Using the SP Flash tool, it started flashing, and on the bottom I saw some info saying DRAM 8Gb, which worried me because I thought it might have been the wrong version, but the flash completed, green circle shown.
Then tried to reboot...nothing. Phone wouldn't even turn on.
Plugged it again into PC through USB, and the red light comes on, and instead of the device being recognized as a MT Preloader device, it now connects just as a MediaTek USB Port.
The SP Flash tool still recognizes 'something', but when trying to download or upgrade firmware (with another ROM), then the red progress bar goes to 100% quickly, but then hangs, and I see the error message in the log (timestamps removed):
BROM_DLL[4312][2988]: ERROR: MT6589EMISettingFactory::IsComboDiscreteDram(): Bootloader sub-version (MTK_BLOADER_INFO_SUB_VER_00) is not supported! (FlashToolLib/source/common/generic/src/emi_setting.cpp:557)

Now, the above error is supposedly caused by using an incorrect ROM. But what would be a correct one ? I assume chinese but what version or it doesn't matter ?
I also downloaded the P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps but when opening the scatter file, I see an entry UBOOT that is not available in the ROM, and I cannot download it(above error) or upgrade (UBOOT missing).
Any tips or do I now have a fancy paperweight ?

Hi. This phones are a little tricky to reflash after is softbriked. Just in case try to reflash with Life 0.7 for 4GB Firmware.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/life-rom-lenovo-p780-t2666626
Here is a litle HOW TO in case of softbriked Lenovo P780:
Step by step you wil do this:
>>>>> USE WINDOWS 7 FOR THIS TUTORIAL <<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>REMOVE THE USB CALBLE FROM PHONE! <<<<<<<<<<<<<
NOW:
- Unpack FlashTools, and Click on Flash_tool.exe
- Select a the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt in ROM from target_bin folder
- Wait file to be added into Flash Tool
- choose Option->USB Model,click USB Model SKIP THIS STEP IFF SELECTED
–> Choose Option->DA DownLoad All->Speed->High Speed, click High Speed
- Turn off your phone - skip this step if is allready powered off
- "Press F9 (hit Download button)" OR " if upgrade ROM Firmware->Upgrade "
- and ONLY NOW connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.
- The process will start and a red progress bar will appear after color purple, yellow.
- And green circles display
- Finish !
- You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on!
After this tell me iff something goes wrong !
OR
Tell me if your phone is from 04.2014 production.
If it is you must remove the checkbox of the preloader when you flash your custom ROM.
Also highly recommended before manipulation of the phone to do a full backup and backup of NVRAM.
Hi,
Well I flashed the initial ROM with everything checked, so don't know if that can be undone?
I tried flashing the life version you linked to, and tried some other stock roms (like P780_S125_130529,P780_S129_130710), but it's all the time the same.
I start the tool, then unplug phone, press reset button, then click download or upgrade firmware.
In the status bar of the tool, I see a speed in bps, EMMC, COM5 (as long as phone not plugged in, this is USB).
Other ROMS froze the timer in this status bar straight away, it remained 0:00 sec, but with the Life ROM, it keeps counting.
But in the end, it always ends with the same error.
I've attached the log, which includes multiple tries (with PRELOADER unchecked, then again with PRELOADER and PRELOAD unchecked, then with all checked, update and download).
Can't I do something like format it all, then do a fresh install ? Guess it's not that simple
I used the flashtool included, and SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1332.0.187, no difference.
Don't see production date, only see sticker with 02-5707-131911 Lenovo P780 and a number. CMIT ID : 2013CP5888 on the battery itself there is a number 140315
Thanks already for your help and tips.

Other ROMS froze the timer in this status bar straight away, it remained 0:00 sec, but with the Life ROM, it keeps counting.
But in the end, it always ends with the same error.
I've attached the log, which includes multiple tries (with PRELOADER unchecked, then again with PRELOADER and PRELOAD unchecked, then with all checked, update and download).
Can't I do something like format it all, then do a fresh install ? Guess it's not that simple
I used the flashtool included, and SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1332.0.187, no difference.
Don't see production date, only see sticker with 02-5707-131911 Lenovo P780 and a number. CMIT ID : 2013CP5888 on the battery itself there is a number 140315
Thanks already for your help and tips.

Nope, Just the numbers from previous post, IMEI, SN, and some other number, but nothing like 04.2014.
The original ROM (when received), was VIBEROM_V1.0_1415_2_ST_P780_OLK_W_A291.
Only found this rom as CWM recovery flashable, not SP Flash.
But at this point, it seems hopeless

Wow thanks The closest version I found on needrom is VIBEROM_V1.0_1415_DEV_P780_OLK_W_A291 but I don't know what format it is, it's still downloading.
And then again, I got it with this VIBEROM already flashed on it, and going into the settings and even built in diagnostics menu (when I could still get there) I don't recall seeing any version numbers even closely related to the numbers I find on the stock roms.
From the official VIBEUI site, it's the wrong format. The software version said something with name lenovohome.net, but I gave up on that, Chinese is beyond my knowledge and Google translate doesn't quite get it
Further, read some people advise just try to dowload PRELOADER, and others talk about volume- and power while plugging in (META-mode?).
But I guess that is not related to the problem.
As I understand it, PRELOADER and bootloader versions do not work together ?
It's a real pity since I used one of the official stock roms found on this site, and it actually flashed without problems.
PS : I see the option to format, including bootloader. In other roms I find UBOOT image. Is there something in this area that I can try
So... What i found is like this:
Your ex system is not a system that installs with Flash Tools.
Here is something what i found:
First Install
1. Flash rom china P780_S129_130710 with Flash Tools
2. Root rom china with Framaroot
3. Install MobileUncleTools
4. Install P780_CN_CWM-recovery with MobileUncleTools
Second Install From CWM
5. Install VIBEROM_V1.0_1415_2_ST_P780_OLK_W_A291.zip
6. Install GApps_Core_4.2.2.zip
7. Install SuperSU.zip

Update : so no, same error.
Since nothing to loose at this point, decided to try SP Flash format (EXCEPT bootloader), and I spotted these lines in the log :

Given the rom I use comes from a Russian forum, and I see Russian characters, it might be from the image, but maybe something relevant.
Would it help or make it worse to format everything including bootloader, then just flash ...well...something ?

Hi, in another thread, where you were also active, a user mentions P780_136_140306.
Do you know where I can get that ROM ? It would be the only ROM I didn't try yet
Thanks!

Problem SOLVED !
Hi,
The phone is back to life!
So, here is what I did: thanks to user stympy, who gave some valuable advise, and was actually on the right track.
The phones with a production date starting from 03.2014 have an updated PRELOADER. If you try to use flashing the PRELOADER of any other rom here on these phones, you'll end up like me.
The production date, I think, is printed on the battery (if you have a Chinese model at least).
YOU CANNOT FLASH A PRELOADER OF THE ROMS ON THE FORUM ON PHONES WITH A PRODUCTION DATE 03.2014 OR LATER (at this moment)
So, I found on a Russian forum (sorry XDA but for Lenovo there is a lot more to find on 4PDA than here), a backup of the correct,new preloader.
- I took the P780_S129_130710 ROM, and replaced the preloader.bin with the one in this rom.
- Next, deleted the checksum.ini file in the rom to avoid errors
- Open SPFT, selected the ROM, made sure PRELOADER entry was pointing to the correct preloader.bin
- USB disconnected, I clicked Download with DA DL All with checksum activated
- Plugged in USB
- Flashed without issue, disconnected, and voila, boot!!!
Well, that gave me a Chinese interface, but some screenshot tutorials enabled me to switch it to English.
I luckily took a backup with MobileUncleTools of my IMEI, since that was gone.
Phone seems to work normal, with 2 SIM cards, but a lot of Chinese bloatware.
While I was at it in SPFT, I tried to flash pre-rooted, or ROW versions, but that was unsuccessful so far. Always the good old 4032 error, although I updated the preloader, or some other failures.
However, the problem I'm trying to fight now, is the recovery mode. Can't backup (and not going to try flash ROM through recovery), since I can't mount /data, /emmc, and other crucial partitions. I'm using CWM. My goal is to flash the SLX ROM or any other rom with less bloatware, in English, and stable.
Update : Flashed :
- P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps + modified preloader and works fine: had to manually link the UBOOT to the LK file (SPFT did not do it by itself)
- VIBEUI_V1.5_1419_5_DEV_P780_rooted_twrp_gapps + modified preloader and works fine : same problem with UBOOT
- Some other (Chinese) versions. ALWAYS put in the preloader file I attached, and everything went smooth and OK
Decided to not use CWM anymore, it's buggy. I use the built in TWRP recovery, and that works like a charm. No issues whatsoever.
Decided to keep VIBEUI_V1.5_1419_5_DEV_P780_rooted_twrp_gapps, but my preferred one until now was just the old stock version.
Simple and good
I've attached the preloader.bin I used (use at your own risk!), I guess it might come in handy for all of you with the same problem
Note that this particular preloader worked for me on a Chinese model 4Gb, production date 15/03/2014
And thanks again to Stympy for all the help!

The same problem, but...
Hi, I have the same problem - chinese P780 4GB, brand new, 04-2014.
After flashing wrong (as i know it now, but not 2 hours ago) ROM P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps my brand new P780 don't want to turn on and seems to be bricked. :crying:
During flashing everything was ok - no errors, mistakes, or something something else wrong. Flashing finished with green circle. I've read carefully all the posts in this thread but I can not repeat your solution cause now Flash Tool can't connect to device. When USB cable is plugged into the phone red light turn on, but my computer didn't see any new devices - no "MTK USB port", or "Android device" or even "unknown device".
Any suggestions?

Google FRP (factory reset protection) is aimed at making a stolen phone less valuable.
We usually keep our phones locked with a password or pattern but once its stolen it is easy to erase the data (via Hard Reset) and reuse the phone. With Google FRP in place, whenever the phone is formatted using hardware keys it will ask for the last synced google account details before proceeding further.

I will definitely help you just give me one hour but can you post the following info:
Model Number:
Exact Problem:
How that problem occured:
Model Number: SM-G935F / Galaxy S7 edge
Exact Problem : I can't go back to the dock ROM
How that problem occured : Last week, I wanted to try to change my phone a SM-G935F on a custom rom " Minotaurus Oreo V10". I did it successfuly but didn't like it so much so I decided to go back to stock Rom.
I used Odin and a stock ROM for that but I think I made a big mistake by not wiping with TWRP before flashing with Odin.
It resulted that my phone was stocked on the S7 edge logo. Luckly I can go on download mode so it's not hard bricked but Odin failed on every flash I've tried. It stoped at the step "config.msi"
To flash I used this dock Rom : SM-G935F_1_20161201150115_pbdym44h2s_fac

Huawei P10+ Firmware on Huawei P10 - by accident
Hi:
On my P10, I used Firmwarefinder for Huawei to find the firmware (Oreo with EMUI 8) and after verifying, I downloaded and upgraded the P10 to new firmware. After reboot, the dpi is seemed changed (as picture attached) and when I went to check it on about phone, it says Model is VKY (which is Huawei P10+) - picture attached.
Is there a way to rollback and install the correct firmware on this phone somehow?

For being able to make the downgrade operation you will have to use a Windows based computer on which you will then install Odin (an official program developed by Samsung and used on update types of operations).
***********************************************************************************
Download Odin on your computer; afterwards install the program by following on screen prompts.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge USB drivers must be installed on your PC too – use Samsung KIES in that respect.
Download the stock / official Android OS for your S7 Edge – from SamMobile or from Samsung’s official website.
Power off your device and reboot into download mode: press and hold the Power, Volume Down and Home buttons for a few moments; then connect your phone with your computer with the help of the USB cable.
After making sure that Odin has recognized your device (the “added” message must be displayed and the ID:COM field should be turned yellow or blue) from the program select the PA option.
Load the firmware file; don’t select the Re Partition and Auto Reboot options; click on Start when done.
Wait while your SGS7 Edge is being updated; when done, remove the USB cord and reboot your phone.
For further info related to the update process reply to my thread

Hi, I'm new to the forums.
Back to July 2020, I tried to install custom ROM for my Redmi Cactus and it has no problem until I wipe the data from TWRP and install the custom ROM but failed, I couldn't remember why. And now the phone is dead, it won't boot, no vibration what so ever, when I charge it the LED turns on but when I plug it to PC it won't detect the phone, no sound and nothing in Device Manager even though I have the MTK driver installed on my PC. I've read this thread and couldn't understand the first step as it says "Open REV4 Bypass tool, off your phone. Click BYPASS Connect phone to PC and Turn ON your phone." but I can't turn on my phone. Also on Step 2 which is the SP Flash Tool thing, it says "Open SPFLASHTOOL choose in Download-Agent No_Auth.bin" but on my SP Flash Tool archive I can't find No_Auth.bin, is it somewhere from third-party or from the firmware itself? Currently I'm downloading the firmware and will try to flash it using SP Flash Tool to see if it works. Any help with this?
Best Regards,
Rev.

Follow this https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-realme-6-6i-6s-sp-flash-tool/, of course, skip to download and flash the files that are for the other model, instead, replace from your phone's files.
The whole idea, is that you have to install the LibUSB drivers, so your device get recognized and can bypass the DA/SLAA restrictions for BROM mode, in MediaTek devices. When you can bypass it, then you can flash the proper firmware for your device, you don't need to power on your device for that, as your device is bricked...
Hi, sorry it took me so long to reply, the phone is finally fixed thanks to your guide! How can I make this thread or your post as a solution?
