Hello,
I am new to this stuff, never done anything like rooting.
I used Nexus 4 for some time, with original system, and KitKat 4.4.2.
Now I decided to change the phone because I needed a phone with 2 SIM card slots, and good battery, so I ordered Lenovo S860.
It came with some Chinese applications installed, but everything was all right.
Yesterday I got the notification that there is an update for the system, so I updated.
Now I have different GUI, and there is no Google Play at all, just some Chinese applications and some Lenovo app store, which is in Chinese so I can't understand a thing
Can anyone help me with this issue, please? I would be so grateful

I recently bought a new phone, which is the Samsung Galaxy Fame Duos GT-S6812i. I'm the kind of person to actually play with his smartphone, so I tried updating my version. But updating my phone resulted in having a Chinese version (the only update) from China Unicom. Now I'm stuck with a bunch of chinese apps. I rooted my phone and I was able to remove most of them, but I just CAN NOT use Google Play.
Can anyone help me out removing the block
P.S: I also wish to have the China Unicom boot animation removed and the official Samsung boot animation back
just flash stock firmware using odin....

hi,
for restalling original bootanimation use this xda thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063280
or you can change with this method...
"hongkiat.com/blog/change-android-boot-animation/"
or use thsi application from play store "Boot Animations ★ root"
---rkk
I had something like this from Japan. Problem is that unless there is a full root and unlock you are stuck with the rom. You can get full or soft root and use TB to freeze some apps and see what remains stable. You probably won't be able to freeze or uninstall all of the apps.

Hello...
I live in Brasil and I bought a mobil Samsung Galaxy Fame GT-S6812c (IT'S ORIGINAL), but I don't knew that Google Play don't work there, cause the rules of the China.
I'm very crazy cause I'm trying install the Google Play since yesterday, but without success.
I did a root with Kingo Android ROOT and I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=google%20play%20chines.
It almost works. Opens the screen to enter the Google account, but it keeps opening a message every 10 seconds saying that the system has stopped unexpectedly. And the login does not end. Loading sits for hours and not finish.
I saw a different way of doing Root. With something called Recovery, but has a specific to each phone and I did not find it suitable for my style.
Someone who can help me?
Please!

very strange that why you got a Chinese edition of s6812c but you live in Brasil.
It seems that this phone is very old , I mean it released a long time ago and have a entry level cpu/ram/screen. I don't which version of android you flashed it ? For different android version, google mobile service is also different , please check whether you flashed the correct version of google mobile service .
Hi
So I have a lenovo A5000, I upgraded lately to lollipop 5.0.2 and it worked kinda fine ( with few bugs in wifi) but it was working, until they issued another update and I made it hoping they'll fix these bugs. In fact they did, but they ruined another thing, the most important thing which is calling.. now the phone can't read SIM cards, and obviously can't make calls.. I've been waiting for a FIX update for more than a month now but in vain can you please help me?
The update version is "a5000 s124-151118 8g row" (the actual one, the one that ruined the phone)
I appreciate any help!
IMEI Lost
Yours is an MT6582?? It is an older SoC with a lot of solutions already availble , check my library for anything of use : https://cloud.mail.ru/public/4y1e/8EmB3askZ . I am a long time MTK/Lenovo starting 4 years ago with my first Lenovo on MT6582 QuadCore now I am on MT6592 OctaCore. When you say update you mean OTA update? ? Lenovo OTA is prone to cause "bootloop", black screen, softbrick in 95% of the case , you are one of the lucky ones who manage to update without those issues (albeit with WiFi/IMEI issues) MTK firmware structure is different from Qualcomm/Intel devices since it installs the modem drivers in seperate memory segment and will be reinstall everytime you reflash or do OTA and therefore bound to loose IMEI (you will have to rewrite the IMEI check on your giftbox for the number -hope you didnt throw away the box) Please visit Lenovo Russian Forum for firmware : http://lenovo-forums.ru/talks/ or http://4pda.ru/devdb/phones/lenovo for full Lenovo support rather Lenovo International Forum which doesnt help users at all. Please use Google Chrome with tranlator installed to vist Russian site.

Thanks for replying buddy :laugh:
Well yeah it is an MT6582. yeah it's an OTA update, from the update center in settings. I did update it almost 4 times before, I mean before upgrading to Lollipop, well the first upgrade was okay as I said with only few bugs, but the second one after lollipop was the one who messed the sim
I didn't have any problem from the ones you mentioned above, the phone boots normally.. but I don't know about the IMEI thing, how can I do that, I still have the box!
what do you think about taking it back to the provider, I mean the warranty is still not void, will they be able to get me back the original firmware(Kitkat) or the new working Lollipop... do you think they accept such things?
okay, I'll check out the forum for more informations :good:
thanks a lot, again
Sending back to Lenovo service center is the best option ( i.e. Lenovo official service center not an agent , distributor) You are still good on warranty ( within 12 mths) and you have not rooted it or open the covers.Its your choice , if you want to " learn" how to restore IMEI/ NVRAM for MTK you are welcome to try. ( If there is an MTK device in your future purchase) it doesnt happen on all MTK but once in awhile we at Forums do get request to restore IMEI ,some users succeeds n some dont when they fumbled on the method given.
Hi guys! I am new here, so sorry if this thread is misplaced.
I have an Insys VI4-903 tablet. Insys is a Portuguese brand, so it's unlikely that you'll find its products anywhere different than Portugal, Angola, and a few other Portuguese speaking countries.
A few weeks ago, after picking up the tablet after almost 2 years without using it, I started getting Google Play Store error 491 everytime I tried to download and install an app. Since I didn't know better, to solve the problem I first rooted the tablet, and then started messing with the tablet until I finally flashed a new recovery (TWRP) through Rashr app. You may ask me why, but honestly, I don't know why I did it. The tablet got hard bricked. Finally, I read about (re)installing the stock firmware. I tried to install some firmwares I found, but until now none of them worked.
I am here today to ask if anyone can help me find a firmware (or the stock firmware) for the tablet. I am using PhoenixSuit to install the firmwares, so I am looking for a .img file. The CPU is an Allwinner A33, and the motherboard reference is BM903_V1.0 2014-08-20. The build number of the tablet is astar_uarmmid. The version of the Android is 4.4.2 (KitKat).
Thanks in advance!
Good Afternoon:
I a m not a newbie at this but I am not an expert either> I recently purchased this phone from a Chinese supplier. I received the phone and briefly checked it out. I then plugged it in to charge it. Somewhere in the process the ROM vanished.
I pled with the suppliers for about two weeks which resulted in them sending my two versions of the ROM. The one initially on the phone when I got it and allegedly the Global ROM. Here's my present issue. The phone is locked into fast boot and the bootloader shows locked. I tried the Levovo recovery tool and that proved useless. I then tried loading the ROM onto an OTG via a micro SD card. No Joy.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I do have SDK tools, but haven't used it in a while. My issue was trying to find the correct driver for Windows to get it to recognize the phone. Grrrrr. I am a victim of my own stupidity. Any suggestions would greatly help.
Thanks in advance;
Howard

Not sure about the retailer who sold you the device but from what you've shared it doesn't sound like they're open to replacing the phone. To a certain degree that's on you for not doing your homework prior to purchase. Have you called Levano's customer support? If you just bought it then the warranty should cover the issue. Good luck!
