If after flashing, you have problems with your front camera or display, you must use SPMDT tool for flash new firmware and you must put the right settings for your device.

There is stock firmware for N8000 on Mobile Uncle - products.mobileuncle.com (【移动叔叔首发】天星I9220/N8000 官方5月9号线刷ROM，附刷机教程。 ). But it is on Chinese. May be somene translate it to English (how to flash it)?
Thanks for the new thread angelobiz! It makes it a lot easier to keep track of the phones
How to boot in bootloader mode ?
Hi All,
I am still not enable to restart my N8000 Phone
Here is what I did
after a bad Custom rom flash (because I used the Star i9220 Rom )
I booted to chinese recovery A750 (V2.0.1)
I used the following flash process :
Flash process:
1) wipe system/data/cache/dalvik-cache
2) installed the zip of ROM from sdcard Taiwan101_STAR-N8000_V.05
3) installed the zip "data2.5g.zip"
4) reseted the phone
5) the phone restart , it display the "Android Blue Robot" and then the "Johny picture" and the only black screen.
So, I do no know what can I do ?
may be I can try to download the recovery but How can I boot to the bootloader mode ?
what is the keys to press a the startup ?
I wish that I will be able to rescue my N8000 Phone !
Thanks
can someone upload file "new firmware with better wireless signal" to mediafire?..

i have been trying for days to root my vodafone 858 ive tried z4root & now ginger break both will unzip to sd card but when trying to root all i get is check sd card mounted & usb debugging enabled (done) root device - says running exploit and sits at this point for ages (hours).
do i need to unblock phone first ???? and if so i have tried dc unlocker but it will not detect phone even when following instructions, i purchased credits just in case that was the reason, but i'm stuffed with this its driving me nuts, usually i can get to grips with most pc / phone problems but this time i feel like a nob can any one help me ???

Hi guys, does someone have a lead on howto root this device or place the google play store on it. I have tried different apk's for the store but they all end in "unfortunately play store stopped working" I would appreciate some help. If there is none available yet, so be it. thx in advance
I am not sure if the best way to root would be getting an app from the play store. I have always just trusted manual root. Have you tried using superoneclick? It is just one click to root with that program.
Sorry if this doesn't help. Hit thanks if it did.

I am working on a ROM for the A789.
But rooting may be easier. Do you have a working recovery on the phone?
Turn off phone, remove battery, reinsert battery, Turn on phone while pressing *both* volume buttons: *HOWEVER* you need to press the power button slightly before (.5 sec) you press both volume buttons.
If you have a working recovery, to root may be as simple as installing the "CWM installable ZIP" from Chainfire.
If you do not have a recovery, then please follow me here, I am working on a ROM, but no promise on speed.

I'm able to get into recovery but cannot flash anything because I cannot get the damn thing rooted. The market is still not working in any possible way, backuped apk's from my asus tf101.

Read again: If you can get into recovery, *then* you can simply root it by applying chainfire's zip package as linked above. Or at least, if you have a proper recovery. By which I mean not the factory one. If you are not sure, post a photo of the recovery.
I'll check out that new S227 package, thanks

rooting
@ Cybermaus, for some reason I'm not able to post "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874403". I have flashed your ROM, it flashed ok regarding the flash tool, it boots up with the animation described in your topic but it hangs on the lenovo logo. I have let it there for more then 10 minutes because I know booting after a new ROM flash can take sometime. Did you hear something similar for an A789 or even for an A750? My previous installed ROM was the "Apkhot_lenovo789_4.0.4_0808+" which ran fine. Thx for a reply
@ Cybermaus: Regarding A789_S227_cybermaus_V2: Lenovo Security and Lenovo (Go) Launcher can easily be removed once i installed your firmware? Because i want a clean firmware and go from there.
ROM working thanks Cybermaus
I managed to flash the ROM and am using it now - No problems so far.
The only difficulty I have is getting the A789 to connect in USB debugging mode.
I needed to install and run some Chinese software to get it to connect WandouJia without this the phone wouldn't connect to the PC
subsequently have found a more English version SnapPea but if this is not running can't connect when USB debug is turned on
Lenovo Calendar still gives me headache
I have rooted my A789 and installed the GApps which worked for me perfect, except of the calendar.
I still have the Lenovo Calendar App that synchronizes with the Google calendar, but doesn't update the alert. The alertt is always "On time" although it is in Google normally 10 minutes ahead or different. i have changed alert times in Google and also in the Lenovo Calendar app, with no success. It only synchronize the time date, description but not the alert time.
I thought maybe I shoudl remove the Lenovo Calendar App and install again the GApps to get the Google Calendar App.Any hints on this?
I wouldn't like to replace the stock ROM for the CyberMaus.
Anyway, you are correct, same problem in my rom

Flash error
Hi there,
I followed the instructions for rooting my A789, but after the red progress line reaches 100% (and my phone connected without its battery) I get an error message.
Any ideas?
I am stuck in a strange problem. I have LG P500 which i have rooted with superoneclick and it is rooted now. I have 2.3.3 V20d (India) which i upgraded a year back.
Now the problem is that according to everyone mine is a new baseband but when i use Rom Manger to install custom recovery it shows my phone but in brackets it says 'old BB'..There were just two options,one was my phone and the other to click the box down if my device is not shown in the above list. I am stuck as can't find any solution and i am a newbie.I did ask some senior members and contributors/devs and waiting for the help,so i thought i will post it here also in case someone has faced this problem before.
Screen capture attached as well.....Just do not know where to go from here.Thanks a lot
MORE INFO: I just downloaded XDA ASSISTANT app to check and in software section it mentions about baseband also. The reading is: V07u-000-000 (MAR-23-2009). Can't say if it is of any help

and yes that is your phone lg p500 old bb, it doesn't matter, RomManager doesn't discover your phone, it is just a list that you have to choose

Are you sure it doesn't matter? But why would Rom Manager mention that? That means it is misleading the user and the user can think esp a newbie that his is a old baseband therefore he will not go with the new baseband and land in trouble.
More Info In Case It Is Helpful
I just downloaded XDA ASSISTANT app to check and in software section it mentions about baseband also. The reading is: V07u-000-000 (MAR-23-2009). Can't say if it is of any help
My advice: don't use Rom Manager to install a custom recovery (or even a Rom); there have been many reports of people bricking their devices that way. A safer way of installing a recovery would be to use LGMDP or adb/fastboot -- instructions should be in a sticky somewhere; I can't search for it at the moment since I'm on mobile. Anyway, good luck.
Edit: Corrected typo -- it's LGMDP.

Well, I know that I spent a few days reading the sticky threads before I rooted my phone, but even then I managed to softbrick it for a couple of days (though it was sort of my fault, since I was using Linux at the time and all the instructions were for Windows, so I had to improvise). You shouldn't need to read every thread, though -- just the stickies should do.
Anyway, regarding Rom Manager, there's a warning in this thread (post #2) not to use it to install a recovery since the CWM version isn't compatible with our devices. As for a recovery you should use, I strongly recommend AmonRa 3.0.6 for a stable and bugfree recovery.
Edit: Just FYI, I installed my recovery using ADB and fastboot. It was quick and easy, the hardest part was installing the LG drivers and ADB (via installing the Android SDK).

No, don't use ROM Manager. 3 years ago when @grigtm used it, it was fine. These days, however, the CWM version in ROM Manager is incompatible with our device. You will risk bricking your phone if you use ROM Manager. Personally, I advise against it.
As for the Android Flash Recovery program that was linked earlier, I haven't used it personally, but it seems easy enough to use. Just
1. Download Android Flash Recovery
2. Install the LG drivers (it's packaged with the program in a subfolder called "USB")
3. Enable USB debugging on your phone (Settings > Applications > Development > check USB debugging)
4. Start your phone in Fastboot Mode.
5. Connect your phone to the PC.
6. Start Android Flash Recovery and follow the instructions.

This is the first step after rooting.Ok
Fastboot mode is Home + Power i just have to do that? Like in rom manager we could do backup of stock can we do all that also with this?
Actually i read at two places how to go step by step,when to backup,going into recovery and wiping & reset the phone then again into recovery and navigate to the zip file of the rom and extract.But i do not know if it is same with Android flash recovery.
New Words For Me...........OMG why i came here hehehe

Well, I know that I spent a few days reading the sticky threads before I rooted my phone, but even then I managed to softbrick it for a couple of days (though it was sort of my fault, since I was using Linux at the time and all the instructions were for Windows, so I had to improvise). You shouldn't need to read every thread, though -- just the stickies should do.
Anyway, regarding Rom Manager, there's a warning in this thread (post #2) not to use it to install a recovery since the CWM version isn't compatible with our devices. As for a recovery you should use, I strongly recommend AmonRa 3.0.6 for a stable and bugfree recovery.
Edit: Just FYI, I installed my recovery using ADB and fastboot. It was quick and easy, the hardest part was installing the LG drivers and ADB (via installing the Android SDK).

Dear you mentioned 'FYI', 'ADB' & 'Fastboot'..... i just heard about them once twice but don't know what are they. I am sorry this can be irritating for you and for me as well heheehe.Only lucky people can go through this smoothly otherwise i do not think i will recommend this to anyone at least before 7 years lol. But seriously i am confused
One more important thing
Syd_M said:
No, don't use ROM Manager. 3 years ago when @grigtm used it, it was fine. These days, however, the CWM version in ROM Manager is incompatible with our device. You will risk bricking your phone if you use ROM Manager. Personally, I advise against it.
As for the Android Flash Recovery program that was linked earlier, I haven't used it personally, but it seems easy enough to use. Just
1. Download Android Flash Recovery
2. Install the LG drivers (it's packaged with the program in a subfolder called "USB")
3. Enable USB debugging on your phone (Settings > Applications > Development > check USB debugging)
4. Start your phone in Fastboot Mode.
5. Connect your phone to the PC.
6. Start Android Flash Recovery and follow the instructions.

There is absolutely no need to learn all of the language, especially when you're just starting out. It's enough in the beginning to just follow instructions, and only go into the details of the Android environment later as you gain more experience. No one becomes an expert overnight, after all.
As for the terms I used... FYI simply means "for your information", nothing to do with Android at all. ADB is the Android Debug Bridge, and like the name implies, it's like the "bridge" that connects your PC to your phone. Any desktop-based program or tweaking tool that communicates with your phone most likely uses ADB (such as SuperOneClick, which you used previously). Fastboot is one of the debugging modes available on the P500. There's no need to concern yourself with exactly what it does (and explaining it in detail is beyond the scope of this post); you simply need to know how to enter that mode when the instructions call for it. Basically, what I'm saying is that you don't need to understand things in detail, you just need to follow instructions. All the instructions you need are in the stickies; for now, ignore anything else that's not there (it'll only confuse you).
The LG Mobile United driver should work. If it doesn't simply install the other drivers.
Thanks alot for the concern

I really appreciate your concern for the safety of my phone.Thanks a lot.
Actually i was to read and follow the instruction as you told but since yesterday i was having headache coz of this and it was severe this morning and still can't open one eye heheehe Anyway i went with the Rom Manager coz of this even though it showed my phone as old BB.It was flashed in less than a minute.Then i switchd off the phone to enter into recovery by holding down Home Button + Volume Down + Power Button(button to switch off) but phone just reboots normally,no recovery set up. The thread i am following for instructions at XDA's How to's says i should not boot into recovery from thr rom manager and use only the buttons combination. But it is not happening,can you help in this?
Thanks again

open RomManager and it should detect if you have or no recovery, it says under flashing recovery, if not use that tool I was directing you to and flash recovery, it is a safe tested tool
---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------
and do not ever boot into recovery from RomManager, actually after you flashed recovery, uninstall RomManager
---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------
maybe you did not pushed corectly the buttons, keep pressed home+vol down+power, after LG logo appears release power button

I just bought the LYF Wind 1 Smartphone and couldn't find a proper way to root it, so I made up my weird way, which works perfectly fine and I'm sharing it with you guys..
Steps :-
Download Wind1Root.zip (mod edit: Please use the blue download button and not the green one.)
Extract it
Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone
Run unlock.bat
Enable USB Debugging again after reset
Run root.bat
UPDATE - Recovery replaced. Touch works now. Using Redmi 2 Recovery.
For any help, watch this video
or read the noob friendly guide at - http://www.ugeeky.com/how-to-root-lyf-wind-1/
i have unlocked bootloader.....and when i execute root.bat my lyf wind 1 shows twrp but in cmd it shows no device error....i have installed fastboot and adb
If anybody know how to replace Kinguser with SuperSU...
I tried installing Supersu-me and Superuser from playstore but none worked.
Supersu doesnt open. It stucks giving a black screen.
Its happening in my LYF wind 4.
If any custom recovery working, please do reply.
This worked well on my Lyf Wind 1 well. Not it is rooted with SU, But when i boot into recovery mode the TWRP has a bug and it shows only a blur screen after swipe to unlock. I need to power of and on again...
Bro can you please provide a root method for LYF flame 1 ? It will help me a lot !!

That thing is working on that build number, I can personally confirm that, and as far as I know, it doesn't depend on that either. Check that fastboot is working properly

Which phone's recovery did you use? I want to port the rom for wind 1
@ Akash : Thanks for your input. Would you kind enough to post a link to fastboot , as ugeeky hosting sever is down. and I dont think the fastboot that I have is working properly. My Laptop is running Windows 10 Insider Preview 10.0.14393 64 bit . I hope it is not a problem .
Thanks again.
this is not working when i start root.bat it stucks up with a blur black screen and nothing happens I had to power off the device and power it back on. but the root did not happen, pls inform me what is the problem.
LeHarkunwar, A Big Thank You for coming up with the Root !! Have got rid of a lot of crap ware and unwanted stuff.
However, the points raised by "Java Baba" and "davinashgandi" deserve some attention. There has to be a tutorial/instructions for flashing stock firmware and stock recovery in the event that things go a little awry. A link to stock firmware and stock recovery with instructions for flashing the same is necessary and would decorate this wonderful work of yours.
Secondly, the twrp recovery is not at all functional when booted into. In such a case, applying incremental updates ( This Morning there is a new 37 MB update available) can soft brick the device.
The Wind 1 community will really appreciate if you can do something about this.
Again, Many Thanks for your superb work !!!

Stock firmware is not modified by this method, and there's no way to backup the stock recovery until we get the factory firmware, for installing any zips to the system, you can always replace the update.zip with the file you want to flash( remember to rename the file you want to flash as update.zip) in the files folder and then run the root.bat file.
Thanks Aakash. Yes, I'm aware that this method doesn't modify stock firmware. The suggestion was made so that people with soft bricked device would be able to revert to stock firmware if anything went wrong.
As for recovery, I managed to download the stock firmware and extracted the stock recovery. I also successfully flashed the stock recovery over twrp. However, the 37 Mb update was aborted due to some mismatch. No idea how to get around this with stock recovery. Yes, it's possible over twrp like you said but I would prefer to apply it through stock recovery.
If only we had a functional custom recovery, things would be even better.
On a side note, has anybody been able to figure the rebranded model and company of Wind 1 ?
---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
Ok. I have tried flashing the downloaded update.zip via stock recovery and twrp but no success. I guess the only option left now is via sideload method. And if i'm not wrong then i would lose root if i installed it via adb sideload.
Slightly off topic, the voice Volume of Wind 1 appears low and somewhat muffled. It's not clear and loud like its in my MOTO G. Can fellow users please confirm this. I have also tried the *#4636#* code which opens the testing menu but it's of no use. Need some application or code to access the engineering menu via which we could increase the voice volume.
Hey bro,i am same version of Android on my Lyf wind 1,n I'm glad to have a solution that you came with, I want to upgrade my mobile to marshmallow(stock version), can you please instruct me how can I do that, I'll waiting 4 ur response, thank you

please can someone give me flashing tutorial for lyf wind 1 , my set is dead , its not powering on now ,
@harshad
Please ensure that you have properly installed drivers for LYF Wind 1. To check this, enable USB-Debugging and connect your LYF Wind 1 to PC. You will also get a message on your phone regarding granting authorization to your computer. Click on Yes. If you don't click on yes then you are bound to get the device not found or device offline errors !
While flashing, i got the device not found error a couple of times and i noticed that i hadn't granted authorization to my computer for USB debugging. The authorization window had popped on my mobile and i was too busy looking at my computer screen.
Now, open Device manager on your computer. Click on Scan for Hardware changes. If the drivers are not installed properly then you will see Yellow exclamation marks against your Android phone. Please install the USB drivers for LYF Wind 1. ( Google if you don't have the drivers)
You need to have;
1) ADB and Fastboot installed as Administrator
2) USB drivers for LYF Wind 1 installed
3) Allow OEM Unlocking , enabled via developer options.
4) Enable USB debugging , enabled via developer options.
If all the above things are in order then you shouldn't have any problems rooting LYF Wind 1 with Le Harkunwar's excellent tutorial.

Try a battery pull. Take out the battery and wait for 5-10 seconds. Insert the battery and now try powering up the device.
found this for stock rom installation incase something goes wrong http://giveawaytricks.in/install-stock-rom-on-lyf-wind-1-lyf-ls-5010/

you need to download stock rom and flash that to make your phone work again. I found this site, zeon22 has also listed a site, but i found this to be more user friendly in downloading files.

I also received the update but I'm not interested in updating since my phone is running fine just now, I don't want to loose root or brick my phone while updating which will most probably be more bloatware(few more apps from reliance jio). I will wait if marshmallow arrives for flashing stock rom if it arrives (although chances are pretty slim). Meanwhile I'm working on a port of cyanogenmod for this device form Yu Yunique, the device from which harkunwar got this twrp from, but I'm still not able to resolve touchscreen driver issue. Info on this device is really limited, and i don't know anything except that this device is from zte.
