[ROOT][CWM][ROM's] Lenovo IdeaPhone (LePhone) K860(i)

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

Is the UI in Chinese?

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

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

well if you dont really need to flash the rom you can go into recovery by holding power button and volume down or up while the device is off and you can factory reset from there. let me know if anything happens, im on pretty much most of the day.

Lenovo S8 A7600 [Official Rom] [Instructions]

Hello
Seeing there is very little info about this model, I decided to make available my findings. Initially I was a bit annoyed with the phone in the start. The "stock" rom was a disaster (malware-ridden, non-official). First I tried to de-bloat that but the whole rom was just bad and unstable. Since then I've learned some things, and newer official builds have surfaced.
Also I should say; this phone is basically a K3 Note with 720p screen (another difference is MT6752M cpu instead of MT6752 in the K3 Note) and it's very similar to the A7000 model.
The best rom I have tried so far is this : VIBEUI_V2.5_1532_5.1797.1_ST_A7600_CU ---> DL - This is latest official stock Rom for the 7600 (not 7600M which is Chinese version)
Here is also TWRP recovery with english + chinese language: DL
Rename ROM to "update.zip", use stock recovery and flash (probably best to use stock lenovo recovery first to make sure everything gets flashed, can be flashed with twrp but I suspect it only flashes boot and system), boot it up, finish the setup wizard, turn it off. Use SPflashtool to flash TWRP, turn off again.
Start phone in recovery mode (Press volume Up + Down, and power button. Hold until recovery appears). Now you can flash Gapps (arm64, lollipop 5.0, opengapps.org), SuperSU, xposed arm64 lollipop, etc.
I have been able to get a very pleasing phone doing this. I don't really feel right now that much is missing, and I'm not annoyed by various other problems. Using xposed modules gravity box, GEL settings, Lollipop memory fix, etc.
This Rom has very little bloatware, there are some chinese apps, but they can easily be uninstalled - don't even need root. There are a few more you can uninstall using root if you want, but be careful not to break the system.
I'm not going to explain everything in great detail here. Using SPFlashTool is explained so many other places. Getting supersu and xposed also explained everywhere.
If I could I would integrate all in to one flashable package, but I'm not a rom cooker. Sorry
PS: As you can see in the image, i use iFONT xposed. But I don't enable it as xposed module, that caused problems. I just used it to download a font and applied it. It's system wide, and it works
There's a newer link in post #6 with the latest firmware

sorry, I had to remove your links, because I have small amount of posts and I am not allowed to submit post with urls - even if quoted.
Hi!
Do you know way to install other languages into ROM (or add them and somehow rebuild ROM), I am searching informations for last few days with no succes. The main problem is when international apps using EN for directory, when all information in directory should be in my language (polish). Changing locale helps, but settings are crashing with changed locales..
Also I installed xposed, but system tells me that xposed is not installed... I heard about it from your post and found only version v79 for sdk 21. I need to remove search box from desktop at google now.

Any custom rom for this device ?

Hi everyone, hi @askermk2000
I just received my Lenovo S8 A7600 "Golden Warrior" phone from an Asian vendor, it came with VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_5.1460.1_ST_A7600_CU and SuperSU was seemingly installed when I first turned on phone (asked me to update binary).
Specs are MTK6752M 64-bit OctaCore, 2GB RAM, 8GB storage.
Can I install your version VIBEUI_V2.5_1532_5.1797.1_ST_A7600_CU through the Lenovo stock recovery/flash (phone) as you suggest?
You mention "not 7600M" so I am not sure...
I also see in other places that there's even a newer VibeUI version VIBEUI_V2.5_1537_5.1978.1_ST_A7600_CU, any idea where to get it and if it is compatible? I cannot find any download link...
Thanks...

Hello
It's wise of you to remove that dubious vendor firmware.
Since "A7600M" is a model number, or simply name of the phone, I would be surprised if it doesn't say so anywhere. Look at the packaging, phone and battery compartment etc. If you don't see A7600M anywhere, it's likely not that model.
See here: Lenovo Inquiry Page
At the bottom there you'll find link for the latest official (Full) firmware.

Thank you @askermk2000 for your kind and immediate reply.
This known asian vendor on their page mentions: Lenovo "Golden Warrior" S8 A7600, 4G, LTE, MTK6752M @1.5GHz 64bit OctaCore, 2GB RAM, 8GB storage, 5.5inch HD IPS screen, OTG, Android 5.0 Phone
In settings, the ROM version is: VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_5.1460.1_ST_A7600_CU, no bloatware; was surprised to see SuperSU pre-installed but the vendor does have a service (at a cost) to provide pre-rooted phones (which I did NOT order but maybe got).
The (Lenovo) box doesn't mention much, even under the phone I can see a lot of Chinese, so it's definitely for China -- vendor wrote it's unlocked for world use on their page.
The mentioned model is A7600 on the rear, there's only a A838 reference besides model (i.e. QQ-A838-xxxxxx) but not much more than that.
I suspect these may be older stock they wanted to get rid of.
As you can see, the model is (S8) A7600, not A7600M. The chipset has "M" i.e. is MTK6752M.
So can I not use the official latest (full) firmware that you posted, via stock recovery?
Is this not for MTK6752M processor? Will this firmware brick the phone, you think?
Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you @askermk2000 for your kind and immediate reply.
This known asian vendor on their page mentions: Lenovo "Golden Warrior" S8 A7600, 4G, LTE, MTK6752M @1.5GHz 64bit OctaCore, 2GB RAM, 8GB storage, 5.5inch HD IPS screen, OTG, Android 5.0 Phone
In settings, the ROM version is: VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_5.1460.1_ST_A7600_CU, no bloatware; was surprised to see SuperSU pre-installed but the vendor does have a service (at a cost) to provide pre-rooted phones (which I did NOT order but maybe got).
The (Lenovo) box doesn't mention much, even under the phone I can see a lot of Chinese, so it's definitely for China -- vendor wrote it's unlocked for world use on their page.
The mentioned model is A7600 on the rear, there's only a A838 reference besides model (i.e. QQ-A838-xxxxxx) but not much more than that.
I suspect these may be older stock they wanted to get rid of.
As you can see, the model is (S8) A7600, not A7600M. The chipset has "M" i.e. is MTK6752M.
So can I not use the official latest (full) firmware that you posted, via stock recovery?

No, your phone is the right model, as you said "Unlocked for world use", the A7600M only works in china.
MTK6752M is the chipset used - it has nothing to do with A7600M, that there are two M's there is a coincidence.
So you can go ahead and use the latest firmware.

OK for the sake of information to everyone, I did the following:
0. Formatted SD card from within the phone (just to be sure). Then charged battery fully to 100%.
1. Copy (via PC) the latest firmware zip file (currently is VIBEUI_V2.5_1628_5.2186.1_ST_A7600_CU_WC5DAF1811.zip about 1GB size) to root of my SD card. This file looks like a recovery type, but files inside (some IMG, DAT and scatter files) could be flashable from PC (i.e. like SP Flash Tool etc.).
2. Renamed it update.zip
3. Put SD and battery back to phone.
4. Started phone in recovery mode: Pressed Volume Up + Down and Power buttons simultaneously; held them until recovery screen appeared. First, Lenovo logo, then a screen to choose language (Chinese/English); pressed English.
5. Selected the Install Upgrade Pack menu and pressed "YES" to the warning about encrypted phones.
6. Waited for update with circle-type update progress; for some reason it got seemingly stuck at 75% for some period. Waited patiently to finish.
7. I selected "Back" to go and clean user data.
8. Once done, I pressed back touch-button and selected "Restart".
9. Waited to see what happens. Was curiously greeted with a white chinese splash-screen saying "4G" something. Waited...
10. Phone next booted to the usual Lenovo logo, with some chinese text at the bottom and three dots [...] flashing with thin white progress-line (most likely "rebuilding apps"?). This took a while, too.
11. The phone finally went into the wizard in Chinese, and then offered choice of English or Chinese as wizard language.
Wizard finished OK, then went to Settings -> About device -> ROM is upgraded indeed to VibeUI v2.5-1628 and Android 5.0.2.
NOTE: There's a LOT of chinese stuff, unfortunately, I guess it's part of the ROM; obviously this ROM is non-rooted...
However, the asian vendor installed/shipped ROM (VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_5.1460.1_ST_A7600_CU) was very light and fast -- I guess a deodex version? Or a VibeUI port?
Many thanks @askermk2000 for your help nevertheless.
Any idea, compared to your experience., if...
a) if your URL for latest firmware is maybe only for China? Your first post photos/screenshots don't have such Chinese apps On this ROM version, the shutdown logo is again that white chinese splash-screen with a big red "4G". Perhaps there's some other version for non-Chinese region?
b) if there's a stock, deodex ROM like that one? How did the Asian vendor find such light ROM, I am curious -- in that shipped ROM version, I had many menu languages. Now I only have English and Chinese as choices
c) if I need TWRP so I can flash Play Store, gapps and SuperSU? I don't think stock Recovery allows for these, any idea?
Cheers mate.

Hello again
Yes, the official Chinese rom only has Eng/Chinese language. There may be a way to add more, idk because I only need English. The 4G boot logo is normal, was there on the rom linked in the first post also.
All the Chinese apps (or almost all) can be uninstalled without root permission. I never experience the rom to be less than fast and good, but I always immediately uninstalled the chinese apps, they do me no good anyways.
The rom you where supplied with is what is called ROW (international). If it's possible to get an updated ROW rom idk. All I know is that if you want a clean unhampered ROM, then the one I've shown you is the way to go.
PS: Yes you need custom recovery to flash the other stuff. Here is an updated TWRP: TWRP-3.0.2.3
^^This recovery has wrong device description in build.prop (actually it uses Lenovo K3) as a consequence you will receive error if trying to flash ROM's. So try the old one if you get these errors.

HI everyone, hi @askermk2000 and many many thanks for sharing your TWRP version 3.0.2.3 with us.
I followed this thread on how to root the Lenovo S8 A7600 phone and downloaded the tools needed (SP Flash Tool v5.1452.00 and VCOM drivers) on my Windows 7 laptop; then, installed them accordingly. Many thanks to @XxpikaachuuxX for providing links and steps on his thread!
1. Started up SP Flash Tool with administrator rights.
2. Chose the scatter file that was inside your shared TWRP-3.0.2.3 zip file; recovery image is automatically selected.
3. Shut down phone, remove battery.
4. Made sure all boxes in list were unchecked, except "recovery" then pressed "Download" button.
5 . Plugged phone on USB cable to PC, then inserted battery under the phone, as instructed.
6. Windows made a "USB plugged" sound, then SP Flash Tool detected phone OK and flashed recovery fine (there was the green tick-mark shown!)
7. Removed cable, removed battery, waited 10 seconds, re-inserted battery.
Then, copied to my SD card root folder, via PC (card reader) the following:
a) UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
b) gapps-lp-20150211-signed.zip from this thread (lp=Lollipop)
(I had downloaded and installed wrong Gapps for 5.1 Android, but we need 5.0 version for this ROM--silly me. I just re-flashed via TWRP the correct package).
Went into recovery by pressing briefly Power then when the short vibration was felt, pressed VOL+ and VOL- and POWER simultaneously; the pleasant splash-screen of TWRP was shown!
1. Installed the needed SuperSU; then went back.
2. Installed gapps.
3. Wiped cache and Davlik (inside TWRP) then rebooted phone i.e. "system".
4. Waited patiently as it took a few minutes to go on the main Home screen.
5. Created Google account in "Settings" then went straight to "PlayStore" to update all applications, including SuperSU.
6. Ran SuperSU and upon request, updated the binary "normally" and rebooted just fine.
NOTE: In the Wi-Fi detected lists, since my first ever boot of this phone, I get a (fake?) SSID entry "NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x10" which is apparently easily fixed for other phones. Do you guys you also got that?
A bunch of final questions to you, @askermk2000 when you have time to reply.
1) Does the stock weather display on a Home page work for you? I only get Chinese cities, location doesn't work as it says "city not found". Manual input of e.g. Europe cities doesn't show results, either.
2) Despite removing most via "Settings -> App Manager", any suggestions oh how to remove some further chinese apps that are marked "system app"? This article suggests NoBloat Free, Titanium Backup, System App Remover and App Master. I am not familiar with this approach but for example, "LenovoStore" could be removed...
3) Do you have by any chance the original, black b/g, folding (yes, boring) Lenovo animation boot logo to share? I see there's a file logo.bin for SP Flash Tools but others talk about /system/media/bootanimation.zip file... I ask if you have it, as the "Boot Animations" PlayStore app may not have the stock Lenovo boot. Perhaps flashing it via SP Flash Tool is better?
4) Will you kindly share any updates here to TWRP versions, whenever released? Do you anticipate any update in the coming 1-2 months, for example? (not sure there are bugs in TWRP-3.0.2.3, if any)
5) If there is a newer Lenovo official ROM available (than today) we obviously lose the TWRP recovery if we flash it all via SP Flash Tools; but we keep TWRP recovery if we update to the new ROM via TWRP, correct?
Thank you.

About that Wi-Fi problem. No I don't have it, and I was reading that page with the fix. It seems it's caused by using wrong settings in SPFlashtool, so likely the vendor did this when applying his trash firmware.
If you wifi is not working (as some reported in that thread) I would of course try to get a refund.
Weather gadget only has Chinese cities, yes I noticed that so I was using yahoo weather instead on my phone.
I would suggest Titanium Backup, it's what I use.
No, sorry I don't have any boot logos or animations.
This phone is a bit slow on the updates. But if there's an update, you can do it through the OTA update function which only downloads the changes as a patch. Though If your phone is heavily modified it might not work correctly. Could try a factory reset first, or simply start a fresh.
Then you would probably need to download the original recovery and flash that first.
PS: You can break the system by removing too much of the lenovo stuff. Remember VibeUi is heavily integrated and impossible to remove completely. Also, for gapps go to www.opengapps.org

Can you help me a bit? I got an infected phone and i need to install a new rom to keep myself safe. (im kinda noob to installing stuff like these)

Welcome, rom works very well, I had to just turn off the screen soft keys, now it's time for more tests. I do not know it is possible to the middle button works as on the original rom, after holding the last show running programs - now opens google.

If you want the original keymap ,
1) replace keylayout folder (stock to port) in system/usr/
I not tested the method, but should work.
(If i will have some time i test it)
Waiting the reply.

Unfortunately, after the copying of the original rom all of the buttons stopped working : o after the restoration folder rom chameleon also nothing worked. I had to restore the rom because no buttons work even power and vol up and down. Unless I did something wrong (I was copying the program es explorer)

I wonder whether that has changed an entry in the file build.prop with "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0" to "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1" has not caused a problem ?

Hi. I need to ask. What does this mean? Does this include Play Store? Is it a global version?
Or is it just another Chinese ROM?

Guys I have just received an OTA update 1.4gb version 3.05 on my phone.
I would install it but my fear is to loose all data and settings.
Did anyone installed it?

I've also received the OTA update, I would try it but the chinese links for Gapps are nor working (source download not posssible)

Does anyone know how to unroot the terminal?
When local updating to 3.05, the terminal will brick.

How to install Android 9
I've installed it the following way.
Downloaded the new android version to my Nubia X.
Started localupdate via phone --> settings --> update --> localupdate.
Android 9 installed automatically without problems. Your phone should now be unrooted.
Now you need the Root-toolkit for v3.05 --> works only in windows :/
Connect your phone via usb in fastbootmode (you need to activate usb-debugging before)
Execute the root toolkit v3.05
can't post the link, somebody else have to do it.
a window opens --> close it (can't read chinese language)
another window should open --> klick on root.

Your phone should be restarting.
I'm using android 9 on my nubia x since a month and its working way better then android 8.

I've installed it the following way.
Downloaded the new android version to my Nubia X.
Started localupdate via phone --> settings --> update --> localupdate.
Android 9 installed automatically without problems. Your phone should now be unrooted.
Now you need the Root-toolkit for v3.05 --> works only in windows :/
Connect your phone via usb in fastbootmode (you need to activate usb-debugging before)
Execute the root toolkit v3.05
can't post the link, somebody else have to do it.
a window opens --> close it (can't read chinese language)
another window should open --> klick on root.

Yeah I'm also looking for a solution how to remove this ****ty nubia voice and replace it with google.

Yeah it could be nice to replace it with Google assistant

I would install Android 9 but my fear is to loose all configurations, permissions, etc and It will take long time to reconfigure every thing.
My question is : is it really worth to install it or there are more or less the same performance?

Anyone knows if nubia X will have final android 9?

Guys!! I know this sounds stupid but I have no "update" option in my settings!! Please help if you know what is going on with my new Nubia X!

Download the rom for Android 9, got to settings -> "System update", then from the menu up, select "Local update".
No issues with 3.05 - works fine, nothings from the apps, data or setting is flushed. But the phone is unrooted and you need to process it again.
But recently I have updated it from 3.03 to 3.11 and I can't find the root tool.
Anyone has idea where to find it?
Thanks.

3.11 play store
Looking allsou the rooting tool for 3.11. Needed play store.
