Dear Lenovo Support,
I regret to say that unfortunately I had an opportunity to update the Android version of my phone Lenovo P780 from Android 4.2.2(stock version) to Android 4.4 Kit-Kat ver. latest released by your good Company, that I have downloaded directly from the Integrated Lenovo system update over Air/Wi-Fi.
Then, just right after update installation and phone restart I immediately started experiencing worst ever problem with Voice quality transmission while talking on the phone with any of subscribers/friends/colleagues.
Nobody can hear my voice at all or hears rustling with constant voice interruptions. Very poor voice quality transmission indeed.
You are kindly requested to support my case and provide qualified instructions on how to fix this problem and avoid farther problems, as it is impossible to use the phone anymore while such problems exists.
Thanking you in advance for your kind assistance which is highly appreciated and hoping to receive your soonest reply,
Regards,
Alexander Kozubay

Look in post How about some modems in the section Vibe.
Root your phone and try change modems from there. Backup first.

Dear stympy,
Thank you very much for replying to this matter.
If I get you right, this is distinctively a problem with modem, whereas the version of the modem included in general update to Kit-Kat version for users worldwide that Chinese developers Lenovo published is not compatible to work with all countries cellular network providers, particularly in my country - Ukraine and the only solution for fixing the problem is to find a compatible/proper firmware of the modem.
Please confirm.
Since, my Lenovo P780 is fixed to stock version and never been rooted before, can you please advise if root is compulsory and provide the link with step-by step guide in order to root the phone if it is compulsory to change the modem version and the link with modem versions.
Also, please advise if I will need to change for a custom rom in case of modem change etc.
Thanks again for your kind support,

Hi Alexander. Yes

Here is the link with how to root your phone:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605.
This is for ROW.
Because you are from Ukraine(by the way i am sorry what is going on in your country now) here are 2 sites with two awsome comunityes from i learn alot of things:

I hope this will help you alot. Good Luck.
Radiomodule
Good day stympy,
Sorry for not replying for a long time. Getting back to the issue where nothing changed to a good side and I still experience problems when nobody hears me properly as if I am living underground in the tunnel and the Wi-Fi signal by the way is not stable.
My Lenovo P780 has the next firmvware:
1. Firmware ver. P780_ROW_S223, 2014/09/01 - last one updated over air recently
2. Firmware of radio module: P780.ROW.V104, 2014/09/01
Not sure whether the phone was rooted before, as I got it new device but from the seller-guy who flashed the phone.
Do I have a chinese or european version ?>
Please advise what are my next actions to normalise the work of the device.
Thanks in advance for your support

Hi. You have the ROW version , thats mean: Rest Of the Worl, not Chinese.
To check if your phone has root, can download any root checker from market and see.
The next step is to change modem software you must root your phone and install custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.
After root and custom recovery go to my post: How about some modems and you will find there alot of modems for KK. That modems you must use. Not others. They are located in folder:Modems for S221 LATEST UPDATE. For Europe i recomend: modem_P780_V101_Life_Vibe.zip
Your firmware is the last OTA for sure.
Good Luck.
Modem change
Thanks for your clear explanations stympy. For sure will try out today, evening time.
Before I proceed can you please advise
1. How to make proper backup.
2. Is there a way to test the quality and level of the signal after modem change procedure to see and check if the level of transmission of signal is high enough to be sure that this modem firmware suits me best.
Thanks a lot in advance
Will revert with results in any case.

Hi.
1.The proper backup for me is with custom recovery TWRP. You can allso backup the 2 folders(system/etc/mddb and firmware) with the modem software with ZIPME fom Google Magazin.
2. The quality and level of signal after modem change is to keep monitoring you phone signal and speak. After this you will see if signal is crushing and the one who you talk is hearing you and revert !
Usb driver
URGENT URGENT URGENT
Please provide a link for downloading a USB driver for Lenovo P780 on Windows XP x86
Thanks

If its so urgent... try this one !
****, I am still stuck on with USB driver Installation.
The files you have provided, I have successfully downloaded them.
When I connect the device to my laptop, the PC sees the device and asks for a driver, I have installed these drivers you provided but my laptop does not recognize them as compatible drivers saying that device is not recognised, I am stuck and I think I can not move any further because of this
Zero results
As the result of my many hours attempts yesterday to make the phone working and recognized by the PC properly lead to zero results.
The problem with the driver. The PC detects the connected device asks for a driver, installed the drivers you have provided stympy. But Lenovo P780 icon doesn't appear in the list of devices in My Computer or Explorer or when appears after Clicking on it, does not show the content at all. Empty list.
Owning many different phones, I neved had such a problem before. All devices after short drivers installation were always recognizable at first connection.
Strange and very dissapointing.

Hi. The computer with windows installed recognize this piece of hardware for just a second in device manager. I have windows 7 installed and when i connect the phone some autorun starts with the driver. Your phone does that ?
Attempts for phone root with intention to change the modem
Dear stympy and the rest of to whom it may concern,
Writing again to submit my dissapointment that has no positivie results at all. Not able to root, install TWRP or any other ROM Manager software etc...nothing!
Would like to specify that I have a Lenovo P780 device with 4 GB memory and most likely a device for sale on Chinese markets as labels on the cover box of the phone and stickers under the back cover are in Chinese language.
Although, the device I bought from a seller as new device was upgraded to a firmware he said, in fact I do update my firmware over air which is designated for the "Rest of the World" (as per Settings info.).
I go through the step-by-step guide written by stympy and I am stuck with SP Flash Tools software.. I tried using the SP Flash Tools as per the guide while the phone is in switched on and off conditions but the utility does nothing to the phone, as if it the phone is not recognized by SP Flash Tools.
When I connect the phone to the PC in the switched off condition I get the message thatn an as USB device not recognized asking for a driver (I browse to the drivers folder indicating the correct driver initially it was recognized and now not anymore) but when I Connect the phone to the PC in the switched on condition then phone is fine, immediately get recognized and I get access to the Internal Memory and SD Card content.
Very, very strange and ridiculous behaviour.
Same problem actuall to other PC connected with my Lenovo P780.
I wonder if there is another way to root my phone and change modem firmware. Please keep me advised accordingly,
Thanks a lot for your support

6. After this you can flash modems
7. Good luck.
8. Waiting for feedback.
Sent from my Lenovo P780
SUCCEEDED!!!
I am back with good news. I managed, I managed!!!! Yeeehaaaa!!!!
I managed to flash TWRP and root by the method you have described above stympy.
Now, what I was doing wrong is that upon running SP Flash Tools software I was connecting the phone with USB Cable before pressing the Download Not Firmware upgrade button and NOT AFTER as advised (1) and my second fault is that I used only one scatter file coming together with TWRP and recovery.img.
I have succeeded flashing with the alternative scatter files for 4 GB version.
Check with Root checker - device rooted!!
Now, going further I have put the model firmware as "modem_P780_V23_S226_ROW" on the internal memory of the phone and will try to install it via TWRP manager.
Please advise if this firmware will not work well or work as bad as previous one, Do i just install another modem firmware on top of the installed one and that is it ?
Thanks

Hi. Yes you are right. Flash modem reboot see if works, if dont work reflash other so on and on and on.. When you flash new modem will overite the old modem.
Good Luck, and waiting for feedback.
Modem Firmware change success
Dear stympy,
Once again writing my feedback to confirm success in modem firmware flashing, changing to "modem_P780_V23_S226_ROW". (looks to be latest one available to download and with hopes that most corrected version)
From now on the voice quality is better enough than before, the voice quality is much clearer and higher, but still not smooth enough.
During the tel.conversations on the other line, the person who I am talking to hears my speech with interruptions from time to time.
Do you think I still need to give another tries for alternative firmware ?
Please provide again the link to the folder with modem firmwares stored and also advise which firmware best suits my case.
Thanks

Hi. You could try one more who i think is the same as v23. The modem from LiFe rom must do the job. I used both and have no problems.
Good Luck.
I will for sure try the firmware you have advised above.
Moreover, I proceed to receive an OTA Updates for the Android system, but taking into account the last issue with modem, understanding that it will not do any good only harm. What do you think about it ?

That's not the issue. The issue is that Mac address has changed completely since after the Ota update, the device was perfect before that. No Wi-Fi no Bluetooth connection whatsoever after OTA, the device was as it came from factory, no modification no root, never flash it before to avoid any issue, and after the official OTA came it f.................. the device, ironically. Death. 02:00:00:00:00:00
The device was flashed after that by 2 different technicians and nothing, no fix, mobile connection it's correct, I can make and receive calls, but Wi-Fi and Bluetooth death. I want to flash it myself but I don't know what firmware to use I want to use a blank file but I don't know wish is it. Also need to know what it's the program to flash. I've worked with Samsung, Sony, an Chinese devices (Mtk) but not with Motorola. Please point me en the right direction. In the first post are the screenshots of my device so people cant tell me which is the right firmware, blank file, flashing program and drivers. Please help. Thank you.

QPST you can use for all Qualcomm phones to fix the Mac address but this kind of discussion not allowed on xda. However you should still consider chip damage caused by unsuccessful update.

My wifi and bluetooth died right after warranty ended.
It was only then that I unlocked and rooted the phone since I found a supposed fix that required these.
Nothing worked to get wifi and bluetooth back.
After reading many other comments about lost wifi and bluetooth on moto z, I have come to believe it is hardware related.
Never buy anything from Motorola!
A seven hundred dollar piece of crap.
Same problem here. Wifi and BT stopped working from one day to the next. I tried various ROMs and restored the stock ROM, no success at all. There are not driver related error in the logfiles, however when the Wifi firmware is going to be loaded the error "no such devices" appears. Maybe its really an hardware issue.
this phone use mt6739.so i want to flash it the twrp to my phone.i dunno to unlock the bootloader but the twrp file not have for this device.
I just saw this post as I too have a Honor 7S
There is NO TWRP for our device.
The TWRP for the Honor 7A/7C/7X and Honor 7 doesn't work on our device and you got to pay 4 euros to unlock the bootloader before you can even flash TWRP (and there isn't one)
This Device is treble compatible but now I've found out there is zero development and no Devs Interested in it it's a complete and utter waste of time and has gone back into its box, never to be seen again.
hi there, I get this phone recently (because is old) and I created twrp for i,t so here it is, if you want some fun
you can flash it via flashtool on locked bootloader in to boot partition and after that you push twrp.img via adb to internal storage and flash it in to erecovery and recovery slot, and you are good to go

Hi I have a problem. I'm having brom issues in trying to flash it
Hi
I thinking you dont have "Authentication file" so you using "mtksecurebootdisabler",
so you need patch your drivers with libusb "patch".
Try this one, for me it works.
So open libusb that you install.
connect your honor7s to the pc with disconnected batery and hold volume down.
in patch option select your usb mtk device "idk how is called" and patch it
after patching reconnect phone and it will works.

and little hint
dont flash whole rom if the phone can boot becasue after clean flash "format+download"
you lost log and cust partition because the image files are not secureboot signed and your phone get in to bootloop
and also you lost imei codes so no cellular after that
If you do so
you can fix it in that recovery were I enabled option to format log partition
after you format log to ext4, your phone will boot but without huawei/honor bootanimation
you dont need to worry about cust partition, if you didnt format it it still boot but without bootanimation and you lost some of garbage apps that are in that partition (amazon etc...)
(twrp boots in russian language, idk for now how to change it to boot in english or slovak lanuage (because Im from slovakia) and also it have Lenovo Logo becasuse I use sources from Lenovo A5 that have same cpu)
I will make in future separated thread for this....
Thanks alot for this.. I don't know maybe I should try the disconnected battery. But from a yt link I saw
The link : Honor 7s Dua-Al000
I wonder how his worked
I'll have to know how to disconnect the battery thou. I'm a noob at this.

Hi
I thinking you dont have "Authentication file" so you using "mtksecurebootdisabler",
so you need patch your drivers with libusb "patch".
Try this one, for me it works.
So open libusb that you install.
connect your honor7s to the pc with disconnected batery and hold volume down.
in patch option select your usb mtk device "idk how is called" and patch it
after patching reconnect phone and it will works.

Sorry for the noob question but after patching with the battery disconnected. When I want to use spflash tools would I still use disconnect the battery to flash the recovery and co.

you can patch it or flash it without disconecting the battery
Here is how:
turn it off
Push and hold volume down
While holding volume down connect usb cable
But is recomended to disconect battery because the phone can boot up instead to go in flash mode.

Well he did with the battery and he add more steps that are not necessary for flashing, like scanning for COM port etc...
When I first try flash my 7s I download flashtool and didn't change any settings, I just load the rom and flash it.
So you must try to find your best way how to do and I will help you
And I wonder how he can flash the Log and Cust partition via flashtool, Maybe he have unlocked bootloader or something
Update: he have in the video description link for "lib usb" but didn't show it in video, or I'm just blind or something

At this point. Might just abandon it. Thanks for everything. Ran into laptop issue on my third trial lol.
Yeah I see, drivers issues, it happens to me too, but I install windows 7 and everything works... but I think is not worth it to format your laptop and install win7 only for this mediatek crap, where you can't unlock bootloader or anything because Huawei trying to protect customers and they believe that their android is best for they're phones

Honestly. I spend a whole night researching videos for the phone. Only to get that link I send. And after all that. It still didn't work. Lol. I have a Poco x3 pro. I wonder if snapdragon android 12 can be rooted. Probably going to try it next month or so.
Snapdragon is eazy for root.
I have Redmi note 11 and it was easy, now I running on Android 13 from stock android 11, if you will need some help with something, I'm here, and I think there is device forum so there is community for that device
Hi,
I updated this tablet using Lenovo Smart Upgrade Assistant - update to TB_8504F_USR_S001019_1909091114_Q12000_ROW seems fine except my Wifi/WLAN is totally dead.
If I turn it on, it looks turns back to off quickly, but never actually turns on, and sometimes tablet hangs for a while sometimes when I try to turn wifi on.
I saw a previous post where someone also had this problem and solved it by flashing a modded ROM then flashing the stock ROM and Wifi worked again (with a strange MAC address after that procedure)
But I am stuck because the option to enable OEM Unlocking in Developer Options is greyed out - underneath it says to Connect to the internet or contact your carrier.
I have tried unlocking via ADB but this does not work either.
If I go into settings, WLAN Preferences, it says my MAC Address is 02:00:00:00:00:00 which seems to match other people with this problem.
I tried installing a terminal emulator, "ip link show" returns request send failed: Permission denied, "ip link" says I have:
1: lo:
2: duumy0:
3: [email protected]:
I don't have wlan0 or wlan1, and lo/dummy0/[email protected] did not show the 02:00:00:00::00:00 address.
Please does anyone have any ideas for me?
If I cannot get wifi working, is there any way I can connect to internet using USB to my PC?
I eventually found a version of QFIL that works (part of the QPST package) https://droidfilehost.com/download/download-qpst_2-7-480/
I found a ROM https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C1Fd5m7BMLqrhURAj0kWdqeiZGIuU95k/view (password: https://firmware247.com)
It seems to have downgraded, but now when it starts, I get the screen where I can choose location, and after a few seconds it reboots.

Please try to format data (if you don't have important data in the device) and reboot. If that doesn't help, download latest firmware (S001031). You can also try a custom ROM. Below are links to them:
LineageOS 16.0 (Android 9)
LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10)
Resurrection Remix OS (Android 10)
crDroid (Android 10)

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I can't load any custom ROM's because my bootloader is locked.
I downloaded twrp-3.2.3-0-tb_8504x.img and renamed that to recovery.img and put in the folder with the rest of stock ROM and reflashed the downgraded stock ROM (TB-8504F_S000029_170518_ROW_QFIL) but same problem, and I still have normal recovery, not TRWP so I can't load custom ROM's.
Any chance you can please share a link to S001031 please to see if that helps?
I just tried flashing stock ROM TB_8504F_USR_S130004_1902221150_Q12000_SCP and now OEM Unlocking is not greyed out, but I'm still stuck with Android Recovery instead of TRWP. Hopefully will have fun tomorrow.
Ok, today installed TWRP 3.3.1-0 and tried various ROM's but still no luck:
crDroidAndroid-10.0-20210731-TB8504-v6.20 Boot logo loop
RROS-Q-8.6.9-20210519-TB8504-Unofficial Boots but no wifi or bluetooth
RROS-Q-8.7.1-20210726-TB8504-Unofficial Boots but no wifi or bluetooth
lineage-16.0-20200319-UNOFFICIAL-TB8504 Boot logo then rebooting to TWRP
lineage-17.1-20210408-UNOFFICIAL-TB8504 Boot logo then rebooting to TWRP
All current official firmwares for TB8504F:

Anyone got any ideas for me?
Damn, somehow ended up with tablet bricked and now I have 900E Diagnostics connection. Trying to use a deep flash cable to get it into EDL mode but doesn't seem to work for me.
Deep flash cable didn't work.
Found a Yourtubr clip about changing the Qualcomm driver from 900E to 9008 - didn't work.
But found a video on the internet that got me out of trouble.
In the clip it says to leave the battery unplugged - that did not work for me. I needed to short the test points, plug in USB, then connect battery and it's flashing again in 9008 mode.
After flashing I had to disconnect and reconnect the battery to get it to boot normally.
Looks like I will be back where I was a day or two ago.
Interesting - when I recovered using TB_8504F_S110006_181015_YZ I now have wifi again - I'm not sure if I'm going to just leave it like this or play around further.
