I have Spice MI-350 Mobile phone. The phone is on Android 2.3.3
BasebandMP.V1.F9.P3, 2011/08/23
SOFT BUILD NO: SPICE_MI-350_IND_VER1.5 BUILD INFO 110901_1144
I tried to root MI-350 through Gingerbreak 1.2 and also Z4Root ( During GB and Z4Root installation, I put the APK file in SD root and then installing from there; then after installation, went to the icon and run the software).
In case of Gingerbreak, Gingerbreak went into infinite loop and ultimately after 45 minutes, I have to stop and start the phone.
In case of Z4Root, during 'Acquiring Seell' process, the process got automatically closed i.e. Z4Root went back to normal screen.
On checking, I found that Rooting did not happen. I tried this multple time to ensure that this is not one off scenario.
Can anyone help on suggesting what can be done or where I have gone wrong?
Not able to load titanium back-up for this.

No rooting till now

HI Addadutta
i am facing the same problem. tried both above method and met with same result. i think that we need root for this phone as it has many bloatware which are not required and i think we can increase the cpu to 800 .
if you found any solution please let me know and share here.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
have you guys tried super one click? z4root is not as strong as it always was nowadays and superoneclick still seems to do the trick for every android phone i've encountered.
Rooted Finally !!!
folks
after 3-4 days of struggle i rooted my brand new spice MI 350. Ah..the long process first led me to spice website which didnt had proper USB drivers. from there i went to viewsonic v350 drivers because they are same .
finally some Chinese forum told me about Lenovo Lephone A60 and bingo thats the original phone re branded as spice mi 350.
to cut a long story short please visit following link and download a60 tools
http://forum.hotmid.com/discussion/...60-install-google-market-and-gmail-account/p1
1, Use the "A60-tools-v2" to root your Lenovo A60;
a, Double click the open the "A60-tools-v2";
b, Holding down the "volume -" and "Menu" keys, while power on the phone, until the first picture display;
c, Connect the phone to the computer via USB cable;
d, Input "1" and enter in the computer;
e, After that, enter and reboot the phone.
and voila thats all guys.
to download a60 drivers please visit

any time mate.
now i had spent some quality time with the device.. there are some things that i observed.
the device is actually faster than most of the android device in this range ( sub 160$) but its screen is no where near to perfection.
setcpu is not working ( i think that we have to get rid of spice rom which is pain in the a$$)
if you want to remove spice bloatware please use titanium backup which is free.
Noled is not working properly, i think that's because of kernel. please use bubble buzz which is an alternative to it. at least it is working.
please share your ideas and apps which are working perfectly. in future we can start sub forum in our beloved xda forum.

Intersting situation for me also.
Consider that I have phone number in contact as 099-99-999999. If the call is coming from +91 99-99-999999, name of the contact is not getting detected. It has become a big mess for me.
Tried a factory restore, but this is taking me to original Lenovo ROM.
Somehow I am not able to get the drivers again, having problem downloading from Chinese site. By any chance, do you have Win& 32Bit driver downloaded?

I think for the contact problem, please switch your language from English US to English UK
for drivers you have to go the Chinese forum. as they are more than 11mb which are not allowed to post in xda.

thanks ankjain for all the info and effort -
ive jut got my MI 350 and fine all the bloatware disturbing, i am going to go thru all your links and suggestions, however i am new to android as i was using a windows phone previously - the GSMART i120 and found windows to be very efficient in updating and installing and it worked like a charm with the sbp shell - am hoping my android experience will be comparable at the least.
hi guys
Hey friends,
I have just purchased this phone over the weekend, and it was only here where i could atleast get some info abt this cell... i guess we are just few bunch of ppl owning this phone.
I am very new to andriod and all this, hence trying to understand and get hold off all the you guys discussing.
My major concers if can be helped...
It feels its a bit slow - will rooting help?
Battery discharge very soon??
when ever i turn Navigation on it shows as Google Maps Navigation not yet avalable in this location (i am in Mumbai).
Thanks a lot for all the support.

welcome hemayur
even i have just bought the phone - although i dont feel the phone is too slow i am a little irritated by the pre installed crap which keeps giving me notifications. whereas i am able to turn off notification in a couple of apps, a few - particularly bollywoodji keeps harassing me as there is no option to turn it off. ( my windows mobile was so userfriendly in installing/uninstalling programs - but since i am a noob in regards to android i am hoping my opinion will change )
i have the same message in google maps. i think we need a better map app for india - ill do a search later
or maybe ankjain can help us - seems he has quite a bit of experience with mi 350 and android.

There was more lag when i used an live wall paper and the wall paper took almost 5 sec to come hence i feel a bit lag..... my nokia e63 used to also lag but the reason posting here is to find out for a soloution.......

The lag is because of the apps runing in back ground use the free ram optimizer by netquin
As fr whts app the lag was seen in samsung galaxy too this phone has abetter ram and a better processor this app used to hang my cousins samsung so its a app. Problem ithink i use a iphone 4 the spice is used by my father so icant tell u the exat reason
More info
friends welcome to Spice MI 350
here are some pieces of information to share
1 the chip set of our spice MI 350 is from mediatek corporation which is in china and it is a major vendor in china. the original manufacturer of this phone is Lenovo ( the same company which is selling lenovo laptops)
2 the chip set is MT6573 which is clocked to 670 Mhz but somehow lenovo and spice both says that it is 650 Mhz. any way the processor is not bad at all in fact even xperia w8 and my other love HTC wildfire were clocked to 600 Mhz and 528 Mhz respectively.
3 the bloatware of spice is simply killing RAM and ROM. i would strongly advice everyone to kindly root your phone and use titanium backup and remove all the unnecessary crap apps.
4 you will notice the lag of launcher, it is because every time when you hit home button, the launcher restart itself and build icons of the widgets and apps again and again. to remove this problem don't use unnecessary widgets
5 the major compromise is RAM which is just 256 mb and more often than not is really not sufficient enough .
6 Camera is just average since it lacks auto focus so bar code scanner apps are not working properly; Red Laser is an app which works partially sometimes .
7 please share your apps which you think are working properly and meanwhile we will try to create sub forum for lenovo A60 which will automatically cover spice MI 350
8 for those who are concerned with battery , my advice is root your phone as reported in chinese and russian forums and even my own conclusion the battery is above average. simply goes for 2 days easily.
please share your thoughts here so that we can make this device better .
regards
ankjain
PS you can also pm me for any specific need or question.

Dear,
I too brought Spice Mi-350 yesterday.
This is my first android device.
There were lot of annoying app pre installed.
And when searched i came across this site and your post.
You have mentioned that you were able to successfully root your mobile.
I checked out the web page links posted above, even went through the Russian site. But i am little afraid of the task, since the uploaded files could be
1. older version than what is installed.
2. could change the network and language to their location.
3. AND I COULD BRICK MY PHONE!?
Hence can you kindly help me about the
1. steps you followed to do so.
2. the resources to complete this task.
3. What will this change in my phone?
4. What will i loose and gain?
5. what should i be careful about?
Also please clarify the above mentioned three doubts.
Thanks in advance.
Couple of days ago my camera flash stopped working. I used it the day before and now nothing. I have Flashlight Pro 7 and when I restart my phone and open the app, the speaker make a brief crackling noise instead of the flash coming on as a light. Brief as in a fraction of a second.
I also had Flashlight-X app on the phone which recently was updated. Don't know if that has anything to do with it but I removed that app with no success to my problem.
I have the AT&T update to install so hopefully i it is a software issue that will take care of it.
However, I thought I would see if anyone has had this problem, knows of a solution or can give me an idea how I can get it fixed. Phone is out of warranty so I am on my own.
Thanks

You might try a reset of the phone or reflash the firmware with either the Nokia Software Updater 4.1.0 http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...=s4RT8ZDXQJnnGNjJJsANlA&bvm=bv.55123115,d.d2k ( this is the easiest to use but may not support US carrier phones) or Nokia Care Suite 5 http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f29...t-5-0-2012-51-4-4-new-mediafire-link-1600953/ , tutorial http://www.wpcentral.com/how-fix-bricked-920-after-reset .

Just and update... this was the problem and easily fixed my phone.
So I got the V10 a few weeks ago, love it way more than my old Note 3 and more than i would have loved the Note 5 i was considering. Few questions though:
1. When is Verizon gonna release a software update for the fingerprint case fix?
2. Morst importantly, is there a way I can change an app's notifications to force them to the second screen? (Yes I'm talking about you, Google Messenger.) Like a third-party app or something maybe.
3. Any non-root way to customize the soft key buttons, like to different logos or something?
4. IR Blaster- seems to me its got a range of like 8 feet. Which works fine in my room, but when I try to change the channel in the dining hall, it doesnt have the range of my Note 3. Any way to increase the range?
I'm new to this site so sorry if i broke any rules by posting multiple questions in one post, just looking for some help. Thanks to anyone who can help me out a bit!

I am coming from the Galaxy S5. I am looking for a app to help with my notifications also. I LOVE me led notifications. I usually won't even get a phone without that but wanted to try this phone. I like the phone but I am really missing that. I heard a little about light flow but don't know much about it.

You're talking about using light flow for the V10?
Hi Nick,
I can't help with 1, 3 & 4 ... but as for your second question; My Notifications have automatically just appeared on the 2nd Screen as they come in. I did play around with the 2nd Screen Options in Settings, and there are more options in there as well.
After reading a lot about this phone here and on other forums, it seems there's a big operational difference between Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and the others - ESPECIALLY ON THIS PHONE - so as you keep searching for answers (as I have) try to figure out if the post is from a user with the same network you're on.
Hi guys,i ordered the phone before about half a year ago,and once i received it it was my first phone with a fp(fingerpring sensor) and i was so hyped about it so i played with it all day,after about 2 days it just stopped working,no rom problem no nothing,it just broke,and i got used to it and used a pattren instaed although it worked perfectly while it worked,and I'd really want it to come back,so today while browsing aliexpress i thought about it and saw this
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Bac...id=baedde05-db07-4a08-a385-9a1bcd59e493&tpp=1
So my question is,if ill order it,and tear the phone down according to a le 2 teardown tutorial(They look about the same,i think they're about the same except for the hardware),and replace the fp scanner,will it theoretically work?I want that scanner really bad.
I mean like,it didn't literally broke,it just wont respond anymore on any rom whatsoever.
So, did you replace it? What was the result?

Hi, has anybody been able to download the required files to root this phone?, the 3GB/32GB model it's selling right now at 69.99€ on Amazon Spain (limited stock), for the price the hardware specs are really good.

Ok, so I finally bought one unit, at that price it seemed a good deal, in fact the stock flew in no time. After searching I've found this link that seems to include everything necessary to root the phone with OS ver 1006 (the author has included download links), but the procedure seems to be a bit complicated and it will wipe all data :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8zPGPJ_uZY
The procedure seems legit and other users confirm it's working in the comments, but for now I'll stay with the phone as it is, unwanted system software can be disabled using adb hide, so I have been able to put everything more or less to my liking.
However, I've noticed a few things that I don't know if can be fixed/improved :
-The fingerprint sensor doesn't work when the screen is off, so you have to double tap the screen or press the power button, ¿is there a way to fix this?.
-The phone heats in a very noticeable way when charging with the included adapter, for now since I don't need fast charge most of the time (I charge the phone at night), I have switched to a standard 5v charger, charging time increases by 2x but it stays cool.
-Screen on time from my testing is acceptable (between 4 and 5 hours), but not great, I'll do some more tests but I have the phone running right now with minimal software installed.
Overall I think that this is a good phone, however it must be taken into account that it is unlikely that there will be any more updates for it.
It is a good phone. I saw the rooting method on youtube, but many of the users are breaking their phone. Too many steps and very high chance of making a mistake.

-The phone heats in a very noticeable way when charging with the included adapter, for now since I don't need fast charge most of the time (I charge the phone at night), I have switched to a standard 5v charger, charging time increases by 2x but it stays cool.
-Screen on time from my testing is acceptable (between 4 and 5 hours), but not great, I'll do some more tests but I have the phone running right now with minimal software installed.
Overall I think that this is a good phone, however it must be taken into account that it is unlikely that there will be any more updates for it.

Hey bro rooting method on YouTube video works. I just did it. Just that step 23 and 24 should be other way around . step 24 first and then 23. If you do step 23 first, your phone will go into red state and it will not boot. This video has the link to twrp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vj_BY6xJdA
IMEI invalid for both SIM1 1 and SIM 2 after rooting

I tried this method for rooting on TCL 562 3GB/32GB. Rooting works fine. However, after rooting, the call function is NOT working and shows IMEI as invalid for both SIM1 1 and SIM 2 if you dial *#06#. Any idea how to fix this issue.
I have not had that issue. Try factory reset. When you do factory reset you have to 1st reinstall supersu and do restore from back up. From the back up folder you have created before the root. What is TCL 562? Is this flash plus 2? I bought mine in Philippine. Maybe the device is little different. I just checked and TCL 562 and Flash Plus 2 are 2 different devices. They both have same specs, but I think the OS is little different. The Flash is affiliated to TCL but they make their own mobile devices. Best thing for you to do is just factory reset and see if your sim cards work.
