I have Lenovo Lephone S686 with following specifications. If anyone has any idea on how to root this phone, please reply.
CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8225 Dual core 1.2GHz
GPU: Qualcomm Adreno203
Memory : RAM : 512MB / ROM : 4GB eMMC
Found already?
Am sick and tired of the stock....
tried 1-click root, king root, and all other root method and failed...
Anybody knows how to root this? bin4ry method did not work.
Hi everyone,
I found these instructions for rooting the Lenovo S686 from Chinese forums, you can try and see if it works. Below are the instructions which I translate from Chinese.
You need to install a 3rd party recovery, because S686’s original recovery cannot install unsigned update.zip. There are 2 kinds of update.zip, smaller one, about 1-2MB, is for obtaining root. The bigger one is for flashing the entire system. There is no 3rd party recovery for S686, but after looking at some other models’ recovery, I think we can use A765E recovery.
Turn on USB debugging. Connect USB wire. For desktop PCs, it is better to use the back USB port.
Download this: ht tp://pan [dot] baidu [dot] com/share [slash] link?shareid=415868&uk=4130114971
After uncompressing, you will get 2 files, update.zip and Lenovo_A765E_OneKeyTools.exe. Do not uncompress the update.zip. Just put it on the TF card.
Make sure the drivers are installed. Most of the time, if it doesn’t work, it is because of driver problems. You can check whether drivers are properly installed by going to Device Manager.
Installing fastboot driver: without disconnecting USB wire, turn off phone, take out the battery. While pressing ON and VOL -, connect USB wire. Most likely fastboot driver will install automatically.
Run 刷入中文Recovery (Chinese CWM recovery). Phone will reboot 3 times.
Entering recovery mode: Turn on the phone. Red LED will light up, before it goes off, press VOL + and -, hold until Lenovo logo appears. If you see Android recovery, it means the above steps did not work. If you see Chinese CWM recovery, flash in the update.zip that you put onto the TF card.
After this post on the Chinese forums, there were many people saying it works, and many people saying it does not work. I (tangys) could not get it to work with my S686. So either I am an idiot, or the guy who wrote the original post is an idiot. So please try it and post back here whether it works for you or not. Thanks.

just use framaroot i think it's downloadable on google play then use the gandalf exploit!
Just FYI I`ve noticed that you`ve mentioned Chinese characters in the previous text, let me know if you`ve met any translation problems, i`m the one can do the help
hi.from where i can find kernel or some ROM for lenovo s686.thanks
This following method worked for me. Got ride of the bloatware that Lenovo put on there.
got the files from
www lenovohome net/thread-137736-1-1.html
some detailed instructions to setup here
lenovo zol com cn/177/1763_1767961.html
I'm a noob at rooting/changing firmware so took some extra time.
Need to setup the ADB drivers. This was slightly involved as the drivers from the phone ITSELF showed up as not properly signed. So I had to go and turn off the win8.1 check to get it properly installed. You end up with Lenovo ADB Device in device mgr and a few other Lenovo items.
Basically, there's an exe that you run (name has chinese char in it.. so it may look strange). It's an automated CWM installer. My version now shows CWM 6.0.1.5. All the text in there is in chinese.
Lastly, you flash in the update_v2.zip and when done, you get a root enabled , bloatware removed CYANOGENMOD system.
One note: when done flashing and you choose reboot, there is actually a prompt for you to "repair root". I've found that you must say yes at this point. Otherwise, root is not working when rebooted. You'll have to repair root later.
That's the good side. Now the bad side:
This phone only has 3 keys (pwr, vol+ / -) so there's currently no way to get menu button.
There is also no store in the version flashed....no sure how to install any apps
Need to resolve these issues.
Hey guys! My phone is now a brick. Can anyone show me how to repair the boot for it? Many thanks.

hi XDA community i have a problem regarding my a850 and i hope u or anybody can reply this comment in an instance cuz im in emergency...
IM EXPLAINING MY PROBLEM VERY DETAILED SO IT'S GONNA BE VERY LONG COMPOSITION, INCLUDING FROM IM ROOTING THE PHONE UNTIL I TYPED THIS COMPOSITION
so recently i "Framarooted" my device and was working properly as i expected,then i want to install TWRP, i see my baseband version does not have ROW or CN in there, it kinda like "A850.V13 ...(cant remember)", but i flashed anyway using the ROW version of TWRP and Mobileuncle MTK Tools. When I want to enter recovery (via MTK Tools) it doesnt show up, just stuck at white,big "Lenovo" logo (it probably doesnt work) but i was able to boot back to normal. Then i used System App Remover from Play and attempted to delete some chinese apps, and I DID a mistake... i was so clumsy enough to delete all chinese apps that origins from the rom i accidently deleted the file "classical" (which i guess the entire system ui, launcher etc) . Upon after deletion of that file I SHOULD HAVE NOT DELETE , it suddenly booted off with the startup sound muted halfway (its like, the boot startup sound have like 4 second duration and i heard the sound just for 1 sec).
Then it boots up again, but stuck at the logo "Lenovo For Those Who Do" after startup animation, so i assume this is bootloop or soft brick
Realising this incident i GOOGLED " a850 bootloop","a850 unbrick","a850 stock rom","a850 emergency reset" and "a850 emergency backup", then I found a website which describes how to flash stock rom to a850, so i did that, as it might work, but actually not for my case. I followed and downloaded exactly steps and files from that website and loaded Flashtool with its scatter file, then ticked PRELOAD and selected the preload.img, followed by checking USB mode ,clicking "Forced High Speed", checked the DA DL thingy, clicked Firmware Upgrade and the progress bar moved, after that i plugged my phone, without battery, to the pc via usb. I heard the hardware insert sound, but, Flashtool did not start flashing, it;'s still SEARCHING.
Then I read that u need the USB drivers, so I assume i do not have drivers for this phone. I used the Device Manager step and when I plug my phone, it pops up "MT65xx Preloader"(or MTK i dont remember) then I quickly rightclick and "Update Driver". It has two selections, ONLINE or BROWSE, so i clicked the online solution, but Windows seems cant find the driver i need,
so i used BROWSE option, which i used your usb driver by entering the directory of the driver in your file in "C:\Users\User\Downloads\Compressed\Lenovo_Drivers_SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1316.0.150\Drivers" clicked install then it pops up an error "The third party INF does not contain digital signature information", so it doesnt install. So I used USBDeview and plugged my phone again without battery, it pops up "MT65xx Preloaded" with a purple dot, and if you need, i rightclicked that purple dot and clicked PROPERTIES, and here's information it gave:
Device Name: MT65xx Preloader
Device Type: CDC Data
Description: MT65xx Preloader

After checked, i resorted to HARD RESET via recovery (i tried to go to recovery again to see there's hope in there) and it BOOTED TO RECOVERY! (yay) but again problem strikes, the recovery I see now is FULLY CHINESE i dont understand even a single option i gave there.
So now my phone condition is still cant boot to launcher, and my very last resort is to use the JTAG option
pls help me u all and pls reply ASAP
thank you

You should log in to windows with out drivers verification in order to install the drivers. Tutorial on how to do than on windows 8 here. Then flashtool should regognize the phone... (you should fix this problem because you may also need it in the future)
There is also a way to fix your phone (if the classic theme is the problem) using ADB. Go to this page and scroll down to ADB method(tutorial) in order to install the classic.apk as a system apk through ADB.
(i am attaching you the apk: View attachment Theme_classic.apk)
Very thanks though cuz this actually solves my problem on my previous devices which doesn't detect upon connection, but I've actually resorted
to do unsoftbrick by a more professional person in my town (he sells and services phones) and it charged me RM50 ($15). Now my phone is back to normal with a rooted state (Chinese superuser app)
Again thanks for replying.
PS:also can somebody redirect me to lenovo a850 modding page? anybody

@jamsubzero I saw your post and thread regarding Dead Bricked
Hey guys.
I own a lenovo A328. For the past couple of months my phone, gets poping up "com.google.etc.etc has stopped".
I tried doing a factory reset, but no luck. Then I learn that I can flash it using SPflash tool with the stock firmware.
And luckily, I did it, my phone back to normal. But then, a few couple of weeks, it started to pop up the same error messages again until I can't do anything on my phone, and unitl it boot loops. So, I reflash again with the same firmware (stock).. and it works again. And same thing keeps repeating and repeating;
until I thought I can try to change the options in sp flash tool..
Instead of "Download only", I choose, "Firmware upgrade".... the flashing finished successfully.
BUT when I press the power button to turn it on, nothing happens, and when I charge it, I cant see the charging screen (or it's not actually charging). I'm sure that it is charging before the flashing, and the power button is working.
When I connect it to the computer, i hear a "connected" sound, then "disconnected", and repeating.
i also tried to reflash it, both the "DL only" and "Firmware upgrade", even the "Format all + ...."
and it flashed successfully (meaning, computer still recognized it), but still not turning on.
Please help me. please.

i am trying to flash vivo s7 and the cable shake and since then the phone is dead, have flashed it several time, it complete but it refuse to on
I need help please
Basically I was flashing updates for my CUBOT Nova and everything was going fine and I tried out this custom recovery which wouldn't mount any partition so it didn't really suit me. And I did this a dozen of times with other recoveries and if anything happened I had the firmware in SP tools ready to be flashed and if I could save going to it I just used the fastboot to flash it, and so I decided to completly stop and just put my phone back to normal and because I done it before I formatted the whole flash, (and FYI every 2 times I plugged in the phone powered off my computer always searched for drivers in the windows update but it failed and so everything still worked) but after I formatted it and plugged it out and in to download the firmware, my computer successfully installed the drivers and at this moment I was like shoot so I tried to download and it didnt recognise my phone and so I uninstalled the driver my computer installed and see if it worked and it kept installing it again, so I decided to uninstall every mtk driver I had and rebooted, when I installed every single driver again it tried to download drivers from the windows update but it failed and on the sp flash tools it goes to 100% on the Downloading DA (so the red bar) and stays like that for a while and I get notifications that I have a unrecognisable usb device and after a while it gives me randomly 2 errors 0xC0050005 and 0XC0060001 and I know someone is going to tell me I dont have the right firmware or that it's not the right ones but it isn't I got from the official Cubot website and I got an early versions from firmwarefiles I think and none of them work, now I just have a phone without anything on it and I cant flash anything on it until I just hope someone would walk me through what to do I would appreciate so much I'm sorry I wrote so much as I had to explain in max detail as I could what happened!

Hi there
I would like to know if you can help me in repairing my device.
So i wanted to do an upgrade on the tablet and i messed it up.
I was on CMW recovery at first and then i did a format on cache system and data. but when i wanted to flash the rom CM14.1 it fail and the devices restarted.
the screen goes on but i can see faint lines on the screen.
I did make a back up of the rom and tried to flash it back but it didnt work.
I used all the roms and it still didnt work. I tried many SP flash tool and formating and still not working. every single rom has been flash and all are green but the phone does not want to boot. i have youtube and followed the instructions and every single step i can think of but u have a gut feeling i am mssing something.
I cannot write SN on the fone as it will not work. i have uninstalled all the drivers re-install all the drivers did all the instruction that you have provided but still it will work.
the tablet does still detect on the PC and it does work. so basically it is in a bootloop but its not powering up. Some suggested using MRT TOOLS or MIRACLES but i have a problem with that as it always have a virus attached it to and when i download it the pc removes it. so i dont know where i can get a good crack tool.
i really need your help if you can.

Hi, I'm using win 7/32 and I did not need usb drivers. We restarted the windows, in F8 I turned off checking the drivers' signatures and then started the windows. On the phone I enabled the developer options and the usb troubleshooter. Then I plugged the usb cable (on) to the computer. It will start downloading and installing the drivers. You have to run all the options for connecting the phone to the computer (usb configuration), from simple loading to MTP, PTP and MIDI. When all the drivers have been installed, restart the computer and turn off the phone. At me, (Cubot x 18), I have not removed any battery, neither sims nor microsd. Just with the phone off. When you restart your computer, start the sp flash tool, choose MT6737T_Android_scatter for what you need, choose the option and activate it, and finally plug the phone off to your computer. From now on, everything has to go ... That's the method I use. I was frankly amazed that she was running without a battery in the phone; and all the way to him, just stopped.

Hi just got my phone and the mobile data is disconnected. I cannot turn it on and when I try to go into phone settings and try and change the radio band it crashes the application. The option to enable mobile data is there but has no effect. Anyone know of a fix or maybe how to download a new modem? Tyia
Maybe this ...

Hello, I think you need to set a new APN. To do this, you must go into Settings-Wireless & networks-More-Cellular networks-Access Point Names. At the top of the bar you will have to press "+" and you will need to configure the new APN according to the mobile phone operator from which you have the SIM card you are using. Once configured, you'll need to save and check it as an asset, the one that your phone will use. That's all. And there would be something else. At my side, I can not catch 4G, it gives me connection error. So I set it on 3G, from -preferred network type. Hope to help.

Thanks mate. The correct apn had been set and it shows 4g connection at the top but simply refuses to connect to mobile data. It all says its switched on etc. When I type +*+*4636*+*+ into dialer screen to bring up phone settings it is there that it says mobile data disconnected and it simply will not switch on.
I've also factory reset the phone and it won't connect to mobile data then either. When I try to change the radio band it crashes.

Wi-fi going? Perhaps there is something on / off in your phone that limits your access to your mobile data network (billing cycle, data usage, roaming, or anything like that). Frankly, my knowledge is limited, I do not know what else it could be. If wi-fi works, try updating it, you may be lucky.

Thanks mate. Nah me neither. WiFi does work but no joy with mobile. There's no update available and a factory reset never cleared it. I think the issue lies with the radio band. It simply crashes the application whenever I try to access it.
Not receiving incoming calls when in VoLTE
Since my carrier is activating VoLTE through its network
I cannot receive incoming calls. If my phone receives only the 4G signal (without VoLTE) the phone works perfectly. I tried another sim card of the same carrier...same issue! If I put on the phone a sim card from another carrier it works fine, but I think this carrier is not using VoLTE yet. Using the *#*#4636#*#* menu I switched off "provisioning VoLTE" option...but after a few seconds it turns on again automatically. I do not know yet if the problem is linked to my phone, carrier or a problem on Android. Does anybody can help me? Thanks in advance
PS: my phone is running native Android 7.0 and it is updated with the latest firmware version
Try a drastic solution. Reflash your phone. The problems are with MTK firmware structures, MTK firmwares usually results in lost IMEI or NVRAM issues.
I am a fan of anything MTK phablets, tablets, phones and owned mostly Lenovos about 7 devices, all rooted with TWRP. My advise is to reflash the phone (since we already have the firmware), if it doesnt work the first time after reflash , you probably need to reflash a few more time and you will find that after every reflash there will be random functions and apps broken (after the next reflash the functions and apps are OK but others broken) until you will have all 100% OK. That is my experience with MTK SoC.
Good Morning!
Can you tell me if this procedure works on the new model, the P20? Uses Oreo 8.0.0 with Kernel 3.18.60 ...
Thank you very much
Me too

Hello guys,
I've the same problem with my X18. Everything works fine. My SIM is active and registered and in the notification bar there is a 4G-icon, I can make some calls, receive SMS and so on. But if I use mobile data, the connection will be interruped after few minutes and in the settings dialog the SIM card is disabled.
Reboot, changing SIM slot takes no effectes. This error is reproduceable.
The device has 3 APN-Settings. Is there any oppurtunity to delete these settings, so that I can receive new APN from my provider or to define it manually?
Best regards
Dan
