out of the three custom roms i found for the nextbook, this is the smallest .img
i love having more internal memory ill flash this when i get a chance and let you know what i think!
good job!
Not bad so far, looking forward to more improvements
This is the unit I am working on, it does not fall within the serial number range listed for Doc Hoppy's ROM and since this and the others I found are based on his I wasn't sure it would work. But its working fine so far.
Nextbook 7Premium, ID: S7JNEXT7P, Model: NEXT 7P, Serial #: Y121106... So far its running with no problems.
I was able to Root the device using SuperOneClic Version 2.3.1 (earlier versions did not work) and it worked the very first time I ran it.
Next I copied this ROM ( [ROM] Nextbook 7P [dw] Rom v0.1 ICSBootAnim Debloated & Rooted 1/14/12 ) onto my internal SD Card and named it “ update “ with nothing after it, it will be read as a .img file so there is no need to place .img after the name “ update “. I restarted the device and it read the image without any problems and I was able to update to / install this ROM. Afterwards I did a factory reset which is always a good idea after installing a new update or ROM.
There are more apps included than are listed. Here is everything:
*It does have the ICS Colorful Boot Animation

Noob questions:
Not sure if it belongs in this form.
I have the same serial number range as you YF1211.
My question is how do i backup the current rom in case i blow it up?
None of the updates on the nextbook site has our serial number range.
I also sent nextbook support an email about not having a lock pattern capability and the responded quickly and said my O/S version is newer and didn't have it. Really?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Titanium will do most of that for you. It will save wifi, apps and all that so when you load a new rom it will be close to the same in a matter of minutes!

p.s. Upload it and PM me the link so i can see if it works on my yf1011 LOL
nextbook 7
I have a question. are any of these roms going to work on a tablet with 0911 for serial? People are saying the roms work with 1011 and 1211, but what about something as old as mine? Also, has anyone had any luck getting a bluetooth dongle to work with their nextbooks? That is the only thing that really bugs me, no way to connect to any device except the computer.
search the threads i want to say there was someone out there with a 0911 that flashed a custom rom and everything worked but im not sure. the ones as old as 0511 have been known to have issues such as loss of soft buttons and wifi force closes. as for blue tooth you will probably never be able to connect not matter the rom, even with a dongle these tablets dont seem to have the hardware to enable usb functions other then usb sync and such. cant remember for sure but i dont think you can even charge these through the usb, someone correct me if im wrong on that.
************just checked doc hoppy's thread - here you go!
For those with a yf0911 SN#
Try this Rom. it is a test version of hoppyrom for that serial number. If it boots and works ok, I will make a fully rooted version and post.

Hey Guys,
I have some sirious issiues with my Samsung Galaxy S 2 and the MIUI v4 on it.
I would like to change the kernel as well as the ROM, which should both work with CWM. However, I cannot put the zip files on the internal sd because I can't handle files in my phone. When I link it to the computer via USB it is found at the Explorer and has got 2 partitions (the external SD as well as the internal phone memory). However, I can't make any changes at the Phone memory any more and I have no idea how to change this.
Further I have got some other issues with the MIUI or even with cyanogenmod7. The Camcorder does not work. Could the Kernel be the crucial point?
And the last problem so far refers to the root permission settings of MIUI v4, which can't be changed (i would need this for the sim-unlock-app).
Can somebody help me?
thx a lot, BB8
Okay...no answers so far... /push
Hello there,
to get the new ROM / Kernel on you Phone, you Could just FTP it over...
Take a look at the Filebrowser(Dateibrowser in German ) that comes with MIUI, there is a FTP tab where you can start a server.
Otherwise you could use swiftp from the market.
Or you could just eject you external-sd and use a card reader to put the files on there.......
I hope this helped a little.
Yes, thx. This helped a lot! I have got now the CheckRevolution ROM on my Phone! Far better
thx again!
Since there isn't much information (in English) about how to upgrade the Zopo ZP100 phone to ICS I've now done it myself (after reading a lot of Russian forums using Google Translate I finally took the plunge into the deep end of the pool and just did it).
Files needed
ICS ROM (b79):
http://narod.ru/disk/48456521001.ee...T75_h932_b79_pulid_sw 20120428-14151.rar.html
Root:
http://files.dangerd.org/pub/ZP100//zopo zp100 4.0ROOT by008.rar
Flashtool:
http://narod.ru/disk/44888871001.ee...6c3e795/SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1206.01.zip.html
USB Drivers (and a flashtool I didn't use):
http://chinamobiles.org/downloads/zap/ZP100fix.zip
CWM Recovery:
http://files.dangerd.org/pub/ZP100//recovery.img
First of all: Make a note of your IMEI-number(s)
Download the files and unpack all (in seperate folders).
Shutdown the phone and plug it in via USB, Windows will search for a driver which you find in the package ZP100fix.zip (different inf-files depending on windows version).
Unplug phone, remove the battery.
Replace the recovery.img from the ICS ROM with the one downloaded seperately.
Start flashutil.
Load Scatter-file: MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc2.txt
Make sure that Options -> USB Mode is selected.
Click Download
Connect phone (still with no battery, at least I had to leave it out).
Flashing begins.
When all is done it displays an "OK window".
Now reboot the phone and when booted connect to USB again and run Root.bat from the package: zopo zp100 4.0root by008"
Follow on-screen instructions.
I did not need to install any separate Google Apps, it was included in the ROM.
Now you need to add some IMEI-numbers to your phone.
In the original ROM I could only ever see one IMEI for my zp100, so I wrote that down.
IMEI2 I took from an old Nokia I hadn't used for a few years.
Use terminal app or adb shell or whatever to execute the following (replace IMEI_1 and IMEI_2 with your IMEI's):
echo 'AT + EGMR = 1,7, "IMEI_1"'> /dev/pttycmd1
echo 'AT + EGMR = 1,10, "IMEI_2"'> /dev/pttycmd1
Update: Zopo IMEI Tool in English can be downloaded from here: http://depositfiles.com/files/wi41lcuvb (should eliminate the need for the terminal-hack above). If the system language on your phone isn't set to English the utility will be displayed in Chinese by default, so setup your phone to use English before running it.
If you want your external sdcard mounted as /sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) instead of /mnt/sdcard2 you have to replace the /etc/vold.fstab with the following:
http://www.cactuz.net/files/zp100/vold.fstab
Use root-explorer (make a backup of the old one) to replace it, then shutdown your phone and remove the battery, then plug it all back in and start again and your external sdcard shoudl be mounted on /sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) instead.
Hope this helps.
I'll report back here with any bugs etc.
To use RecoveryMod I have to chose it from the menu in MobileUncle Tools or ClockWorkMod Rom Manager, I have not been able to boot to CWM using VolUp+Power.
Some of my favorite apps can't be downloaded from Google Play Market:
Vignette
Endomondo Pro
Snowstorm Weather Widget
GPS Status
I have been able to restore them all using MyBackup Pro and they are running fine, they just aren't compatible according to Play Market.
So any app you really need is good to make a backup of using MyBackup (or Titanium or any other backup app of your choice) so you can restore it if it can't be installed using market after the ICS upgrade.
Note that all these apps can be installed fine on my other devices using ICS (HTC Desire with CM9 and Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 with CM9 or AOKP) so it's this ROM that is the issue AFAIK.
Thank you ... I'll follow up in a couple weeks
Ordered my zopo yesterday (for the second time -- waited 2 weeks from the first store (merimobiles) and then cancelled when they still hadn't shipped it. Hopefully I'll have better luck this time.)
I appreciate you posting this info and will try it out when I get the phone.
Good luck Dave,
I ordered mine from etotalk.com, got it in about a week with DHL used for shipping.
I've updated the first post with some more info in regards to RecoveryMod and mounting external SDcard as /mnt/sdcard (/sdcard).
Since I use this phone daily I will probably not experiment much with it until any new official release is available. But the current one (b79) is good enough.
There are quite a lot of crappy chinese apps (crappy since I don't know what they do and they aren't translated into a language I can understand) installed with this ROM bit they can all be removed using the normal App-menu in the system settings.
imei no.
hello, u said that u have write the imei no. of old nokia phone which u don't use. i want to know that can i also change both the imei no. as i m from india and in india only valid imei no. works, and i m planning to purchase this phone but i am afraid that if the imei no. are not according to india then it will not work so i just wanted to know that if i write my old dual sim phone imei to zopo zp100, will it work without any problem.
rohit: I can't say for sure if the phone actually reports two IMEI's to the service provider, but at least it displays two IMEI's when I check "About phone" in the sytem settings.
Sorry I can't say if it works or not in India.
hello
hyy , i have ihtc one x aka b79 , followed your procedure it works gr8. but i am facing a problem with usb mass storage and am not able to lock into gps any possibilities to fix this error? and does anyone has an access to orignal android 2.3.4 rom for b79 , to restore to previous bug free state?

ZP100 and ICS upgrade experiences
Hi Guys,
I bought the ZP100 1,5 weeks ago from etotalk.com.
After 1 week i tried to upgrade to ICS about this and Colonel ZAP's description.
My experiences with the ICS upgrade:
When i received the phone, on that was etotalk v1.0 firmware.
It is a very good customized rooted ROM, works fast and it has just some minor bugs.
The only problem was, it could only read the internal storage, when i insert an external SD card. It was strange, but i accept it programming defects.
I downloaded the official 2.3.6 and this B79 ICS, VCOM (Flash) drivers and the flash program.
At first, i downloaded the ClockWorkMod Recovery for chinese phones.
Unfortunately it is make a factory reset on the phone, but after you customize it, you can make full backup about your ROM.
IMPORTANT! Copy the backup to your computer, because the ICS ROM formatted my external SD
This is very recommended, because...
At first i installed the linked B79 ICS ROM.
The default language is chinese, but it contains english, so if you know the android, it is not a challenge to change it. It couldn't read the internal memory neither, just after format it.
It wasn't rooted, and deleted IMEI. When i tried to root (different way as 2.3.6, need USB debug mode and ADB) the Windows doesn't recognize the ADB driver. The driver wasn't in Android SDK, and i can't download it (i haven't tried it on Linux yet). For a moment Windows showed it found HTC Dream device. I downloaded HTC drivers, but it didn't work with it neither.
Without this you can't restore the IMEI.
Ok, go back to the official 2.3.6.
I flashed it back. Almost the same effects. Default chinese language, the internal memory cannot readable. I could root it and install CWM recovery back.
Basically it doesn't contains Play store, but you can install it.
The ROM full of chinese programmes and my experience was it is very unstable.
I uninstalled the chinese programmes, and installed Play store. When i wanted make a call, the phone restarts. The Google Play Store froze every time.
Finally i restore back the etotalk ROM, and i use it.
Maybe if i have time/mood i will install the official ICS, but about my experiences i have doubts with it.
p.s.: in about 30C outside temperature i used the phone (installing programmes). After 10 minutes using it sings that the battery is too hot, remove it from the phone.
Is any other better quality battery what is compatible with this phone? thanks

Hi jbctiong,
I used CWM recovery 5.5.0.4.
Just carefully, because it make a full factory reset.
And you need to insert an external SD card

Thanks for your experiences
What is the ClockWorkMod Recovery for chinese phones.
WHy you needed it ?
Now we can download the 4.0 official
Somebody try it ?
hello carabaothai,
I used it for backup/restore my ROM.
But you can use nandroid backup too.
Sorry for my abscence from this thread, I've been busy all weekend actually tuning a car instead of my phone
buntybauva: I've got no problems with USB Mass Storage, could you explain what problems you experience?
I made a nandroid backup of the old ROM, but I haven't used it so don't actually know if it works.
rohit: I ordered mine from etotalk.com
carabaothai:I forgot to mention that the ICS-rom I linked to (and flashed myself) is in Chinese as default, but can be changed to English using the System Settings, luckily there are icons in there so you can find the symbol for language (hint for anyone who doesn't know: It's an "A").
ICS = Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)
I have not experienced problems with loosing network on the SIM cards.
jbctiong: I had not tried any nandroid backup/recovery yet, tested right now and it doesn't seem to be able to actually do any backup. Some mount errors for sdcard.
vzzoli: Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I agree that the etotalk-ROM is quite good, but I always want the latest stuff on my gadgets
I have not had any issues with reading my sdcard nor in etotalk-rom or in the later ICS-rom.
The ICS rom did not format my external SD. But one should always make a backup of course (I backup my SDcard before every flash I try).
One bug I found in the current ROM is that the Cam/Videocam-switch on the phone doesn't make any difference what position it's in.
I'm going to see what the russian forum says about the official release, I'm quite happy with the one I'm currently running so no real need to change, but there could be performance reasons to change or maybe something else.
I downloaded to the "official" ROM and updated my phone
I think this is the same ROM as B79, just renamed the version.
Remove the IMEI, not rooted, other MTP driver needed etc.
@cactuz:
What operating system did you use for root the phone?
I'm using Windows, and the new official ICS ROM wants different ADB drivers than the 2.3.6.
Without this, i can't root it, and restore IMEI.
Buntybauva's mass storage problem maybe that the Windows recognize the ICS phone as media device, but can't mount as usb mass storage without a third party program
vzzoli: I used Win7 32bit when I rooted the phone, used the scripts supplied in one of the links in my initial post.
When I restored the IMEI I used Linux since that is my prefered choice whenever using ADB.
I can't check right now what version because I've apparently forgot my VPN-password so I can't connect to my computer at work
Does the camera-switch work for changing between Camera and VideoCam on the new official rom?
hyy
after ics upgrade is anyone facing problem with gps lock?
buntybauva: Not worse than before, the GPS was terrible for me before as well as after (but I do get a fix after quite some time). Though some of the guys on the russian forum has modified the antenna as far as I know.
Maybe DangerD could help us out because I think he has been involved in it.
There are different custom ROM's & root methods for the K860 & K860i. Most of the root methods & ROM's are compatible with both the K860 and K860i. Read the full thread to be sure.
I'll update this post regularly, if there are any changes needed please say so in the thread or PM me (still WIP for adding the latest stuff).
Below you can find everything!
- Root methods & stock ROM's + MOD's/fixes:
There is an APK root method, linked below, or you can use the original not so easy root method:
I did some research on how to root it.
I found some steps on this Chinese website.
What I understand from it is you have to do the following steps to root:
- Set the phone to USB debugging in it's settings
- Make sure drivers are installed and the phone is recognized well by the phone PC software
- Close all the PC phone software applications
- Make sure no other android or smart/USB-device is connected except for the phone itself
- Download this file: root files, download link is also below in the attachment.
- Unzip it and launch the .exe (executable file) with the Chinese characters (should be first .exe in directory)
- The shell/CMD should start the root process
- The phone will automatically restart, don't touch it or any button, don't interrupt the shell program!
- Now after the reboot of the phone you should press any key on your keyboard when asked
- The shell program should continue, the phone will restart again!
- Again press any key to continue and wait for the shell program to reboot your phone for the third time (this can take some time, be patient!)
- When rebooted the "Operation was successful" message should appear in the shell program
- Now your K860 is rooted! Look for the root app in your phone to confirm. If rooting didn't work, try this process again
- Also update the Superuser or superSU app & binaries

I just got this phone/phablet as a gift. Specs are quite a beast: 1.4GHz quad core, 1280x720, 8GB ROM, 8MP camera etc.
Would you know if the Android UI is in Chinese? Right now I have the phone for sale on eBay because as far as I can tell, it's not going to work on AT&T or T-Mobile 3G (or more) in the US.

Yeah, it's only compatible with GSM Tri-band or maybe Quad-band. But WCDMA is only operating at the 2100MHz band (3G). So I guess mobile surfing will probably work but calling (2G) won't work in the US.
Default UI is Chinese, but it should have English in the settings also and maybe even Vietnamese.
I have a K860
I've bought a Lenovo K860, it works fine in Spain. It comes with english and chinese languages. Easily root as you say before. Over 12400 antutu benchmark in my device, but I see until 14500 in others. The camera works perfect and makes awesome photographies. Games and apps runs very fast, GTAIII, Bard`s Tale, PES12, FIFA12, Asphalt 7....
Cons?
Magnetometer compatibility, by the time I don`t found compass app working.
Only chinese development by the moment. In fact there is a recovery.img available and two or three MIUI roms, aal in chinese only:crying:
If you want any other info, contact me, and sorry my bad english.

So you can confirm it is rootable with the above tutorial?
I think my previous smartphone (Galaxy Mini) didn't even have a magnetometer, so if that doesn't work properly I think it won't annoy me.

Yes, confirmed, it works perfect for me.
And I`m agree with you, magnetometer isn`t big problem, but it work fine in test, fails the app compatibility, I think it´s a rom fail and it will be solved with updates.

So I'll have to enable 775 (rwx-rwx-rw) permissions in that folder?
guys, i am based in china and thought about this phone or the haier x5 pad511.
if the ui is also working in english i ld get it. am just worried lenovo wont release a JB update and if i root it (i have never rooted anything besides a bag of marshmallows) i loose any functionality. is there a JB rom? the miui is pretty ok.

I think yes, you must download gmail.apk, play store, maps.apk, etc, second you must copy and paste with root explorer in/system, and at last open the permissions of any lenovo apk in /system and put the same permissions in google apks.
I hope you understand my bad english.
hi is it easy to replace stock OS? i m in china and want to use english OS and am not sure if the installed OS has google market and so on.
Any advice? would love to run a JB version or MIUI on it
The stock OS has an option to use an English UI. Market and some other Google Apps might not yet be installed.
To do this you can read the following topics:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632945
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422
so anyone running the phone on its stock ui or know if the stock ui comes with google play? if not can i just take a g play apk from here and install it on mt k860?
Hello, can I ask to you about the Lenovo.
How about the battery life?
Have stock ui call record?
Have it IP telephony client like in miui?
Thank you a lot

yeah thanks i nearly forgot i read it proximately 3 posts prior :angel: anyway, i wanna know if theres an option fro easy market apk install, i hope i dont have to root or anything i thought i can just put market as apk on the sd card and install it.
btw. is the UI great or does it make sence to find a miui jelly beans... i m not sure if lenovo does code a JB
I don't really think there is a way without root for the Lenovo.
Someone reported that it works on a Galaxy 5 (i5503) without doing root:
How To Enable Android Market on i5503 or Galaxy 5 and Galaxy S
Filed under: Android by Ahmed Ali — 38 Comments
December 22, 2010
recently i bought Samsung i5503 (Galaxy 5) and i took more than two weeks to be able to use android on my handset
so i decided to share what i got with u .let’s start
U must move your data from internal memory to external memory
there r two method
The First :
1. ensure your handset “Galaxy 5″ is set to use 24-hour format
(applications-> Settings-> date and time -> Use 24-hour format
2. launch the Phone-pad
3. enter the following
*#272* the follow it with the time on the phone (4 digits) then follow it with #
example, the time on my phone now is 15:33 hence I shall enter *#272*1533#
4. the phone shall display a new window
5. select “XSG” and hit “install”
the Phone shall reload and your “Market Apps” icon which be there
this method didn’t work with me but it works with some friends of mine
The Second Method
1. ensure your handset “Galaxy 5″ is set to use 24-hour format
(applications-> Settings-> date and time -> Use 24-hour format
2. launch the Phone-pad
3. enter *#06# and store the number which will appear
4. in the phone-pad write *#272*xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the number u got from step 3
5. the phone shall display a new window
6. select “XSG” and hit “install”
the Phone shall reload and your “Market Apps” icon which be there
enjoy
Thanks To @Khal3d

k860 root
So,did you receive your K860.Is it really possible to root without risk
Arne_B said:
Because I recently bought the Lenovo K860 and am waiting to receive it, I did some research on how to root it.
I found some steps on a Chinese website.
What I understand form it is you have to do the following steps to root:
- Set the phone to USB debugging in the settings
- Make sure drivers are installed and the phone is recognized well by the default phone PC software
- Close all the PC phone software applications
- Make sure no other android or smart/USB-device is connected except for the phone itself.
- Download this file: root files
- Unzip it and launch the .exe (executable file) with the Chinese characters (should be first .exe in directory). Launch it with Administrator privileges.
- The shell should start the root process.
- The phone will automatically restart, don't touch it or any button, don't interrupt the shell program!!
- Now after the reboot you should press a key.
- The shell program should continue, the phone will restart again!
- Again press a key to continue and wait for the shell program to reboot your phone for the third time (this can take some time).
- When rebooted the "Operation was successful" message should appear in the shell program.
- Now your K860 is rooted! Look for the root app in your phone to confirm. If rooting didn't work, try this process again.
I want to note that I'm not responsible for any bricked phone by using this root process! I didn't do it myself yet, so it's all at your own risk!
Also backup all data before rooting the phone!
Because I don't have this phone at the moment I can't try to root it just yet. So if anyone got it rooted using this method, let me know!

No not yet still waiting for it.
I'll update when I have it and post my findings about routing it and putting Google Play and so on it.
Also, I think that someone in this thread has said this method works

Flash and dialer problem
Hi pemergenc,
first of alll thanks for your effort - please pm me your paypal contact for donation as your ebay auction is closed.
Now for the problems ^^
The flash plugin is not active in the browser - though I can see all parts in the system area and the data/cache/dalvik is all clean.
Can you confirm this?
Is removing libflashplayer.so and the apk from /system and installing the stock flash apk from my lenovo fw backup to sd an option or would this break google play support?
Another thing I'm struggling with is the dialer. I get 'Unfortunately, contacts has stopped' after some time - should be related to my gmail sync. [update] looks more like g+ is messing things up[/update]
After that only a wipe makes it usable again - clearing contacts db doesnt help :/ Dont know if some german umlauts are the cause. Any advice?

One quick question:
Do you get the click sounds and vibrate when pressing keys on the virtual keyboard? Both sounds and vibrate are activated for me in the settings, but for some reason these do not apply when using the keyboard input. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. The options under the "Active Profile" were checked. I had to change the settings from "Android keyboard settings" and everything is working ok now.
Under "Advanced Settings" you have two options for "Keypress duration vibration settings" and "Keypress sound volume settings" increasing the values for those got the click sound and vibration back.
Help me installing the new rom!
Hi pemergency,
few days ago I purchased the tablet lenovo a2107a-h in Italy. Unfortunately, the European version does not have the voice dialing. is the free time I have to do with Android and then I'm not very experienced. I would like to install the new rom, but I have some questions:
is the Italian language?
the phone function works well?
there is a step by step guide for installing the rom?
I am willing to give you a refund for your work!
Thanks in advance!

Hi, i have a lenovo smart tab 2 --Android version 4.0.4, --A2107A_A404, kernel 3.0.13.Can i flash this custom rom in it?
Can anyone help me to root the tablet?
I am a begginer ,it's my first tablet and ofcourse android experience, and i need telephone calls and many other things.The tablet has only one sim card.
Hi, pemergency!
First - thanks for your brilliant work
I have some questions about your final ROM for this device:
1. Does it have polish language in multilanguage list?
2. Is it compatible with tablet containing 4GB internal SD memory and dual SIM slot?
3. Can I "flash" my device using CWM 6.0.1.5? Will it be (CWM) replaced with one that your ROM contains?
4. I have a A2107A-H_S341_120921 firmware, Android ver. 4.0.3. (rooted). Do I have to do a firmware upgrade before flashing ROM of yours (currently i have an option to upgrade to A2107A-H_S345_121111)?
5. How do I restore IMEI to both SIM cards when flashed with it?
6. If anything goes wrong and I do backup of my current system compilation (A2107A-H_S341-120921), then will I be able to return to it when anything else fails?
I assume that it has full dialing option along with FM radio functions.
Sorry if my english is bad And again, thanks in advance for great, outstanding job :good:
edit: I also want to know which version of CWM have you used or recommend to flash?
