no, only 8 gb verison. rest of the 4 gb is allocated for system and apps.
From 8 gb for you is available 5.5 gb. 1.5 for apps and the rest are for personal data like photos/music/movies and of course stupid games data -.-
Lenovo S 860 is the latest offering from Lenovo and released recently in India. It has a massive battery of 4000 mah and is the best phone for people who want something which has a lot of stamina and this phone certainly lives up to the expectations.
SInce I was unable to find a specific forum for this phone I am posting it in the general section.
This is specifically for people who want more out of their Android phones.
So here you go, to root this phone, it is very simple, use VROOT. It is a one click process and works perfectly, but the super user installed will be in Chinese.

Thanks for posting/confirming that Vroot works for the S860 (and for starting this thread)- I'm about to purchase this phone later today. Is there any way to replace the Chinese superuser with an English one?
Edit: Just found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965781
Has anyone bought and is using this phone? Haven't seen much activity online so far even though it's a fairly decent offering. Perhaps if the Mods could move this thread to Android General it might be more helpful?
On a side note, if anyone is using the phone have you received 4.4 update yet?

Yeah...have been using the phone for the last 3 weeks. Performance is very good for day to day taks - calls/browsing/streaming etc . The best part I like about this phone is the mammoth battery and Lenovo still managed this in a rather slim body. It is also lighter than note 2.
Recieved kitkat update yesterday. A few changes to the UI - now it is lag free.
Kitkat update link
Can anybody post the link or how to upgrade Lenovo S860 to Kitkat. Lenovo released the update but since it around 1 GB unable to do so through phone. It gets interrupted due to unstable net connection and sloe speed. Is there anyway I can do this through PC.
VRoot did not work for me after upgrading phone to 4.4.2. It rebooted the phone constantly, asked for permission to restore data from PC to phone, but the root process kept failing. Anyone else face the same issue?
I have used S860 for a month now. Android 4.2.2 works good except for some lag. I would like to upgrade to 4.4 but don't want to loose google play. Any suggestions? Can I install the Lenovo update of 4.4 and then reinstall google play?

This will only work for the Chinese 1 GB model of Lenovo S860 - not the 2 GB ROW (Rest of the World) Model.
From whatever little is available online for this phone I'm guessing it's hard to root if the phone's running kitkat - and it doesn't look like any developer will come up with Root for it. It's just too bad, I miss using AdAway the most!

Flash S860
I have an S860 (1GB) bought from China obviously and when I received it it had no gapps and no caller id in Europe which was annoying.
What I did:
1. Installed 4.2.2 ROW Version (also when I flashed it I put a custom recovery image TWRP 2.7)
2. After I flashed it I installed root and modem for 3G calls from custom recovery.
That's it, feel free to ask me any question!

I bought my S860 on eBay (Honk Kong), it has KitKat 4.4.2 already installed and all Google services on and working. Language only english and chinese. Also it haso no caller id in Europe (little annoying) so set OFF.
Point 2. will be interesting for me, how to root the phone (with build ver. VIBEUI_V1.5_1423_7_ST_S860 and baseband version S860.V102, 2014/04/15) and set caller ID to Europe?
Thanks.

I have this Chinese version too, I got it few weeks ago.
When I got it, it had Android 4.2.* and everything was OK.
Then I got the notification that there is a system update (over 700MB), and I updated it.
After the update I have KitKat 4.4.2, Baseband S860.V102, Build VIBEUI_V1.5_1423_7_ST_S860., there was no Google Play store and stuff, so I had to loose time to make Google services to work.
Now it works, but I have some problems with notifications from the apps. Sometimes I get notifications from Facebook messenger and other apps, but most times I don't get any notifications, except from the mail.
It is really annoying, and I can't find any solution.
I'm no expert for rooting and stuff, I previously used Nexus 4 with stock system, and I bought this phone because of 2 SIM slots and good battery life.
Do you have any suggestions for my problem?
Do you know if it is possible to, maybe, install Cyanogenmod on it, and would that solve the problems?
2gb ram, 16gb rom, 5.3"ips,
I'm seriously considering this phone, the P780 has more development, but is lacking the extra features this model provides.
I'm in Canada and would need the development to reflect ROW needs.
BUT,,,
No development so far
So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and here's to (Prost!) to further development............

I also have 2gb ram 16gb S860 rom. I was looking for a related article about root, but no one ever discusses it. if there was even discussed in the jelly bean root instead kitkat.
My experience using framaroot and vroot not succeed in kitkat (2gb ram 16 rom).
I am also waiting for this type of developer for lenovo, considering this phone is a new entry in Indonesia. I come from Indonesia.

So the Lenovo site lists this phone "Ports - Micro SD up to 32GB", does your phone have a Micro SD Memory slot?
http://shopap.lenovo.com/hk/en/smartphones/s-series/s860/#tab-tech_specs
If not, is there ROW version of this model?
Mine is 2gb ram and 16 gb rom. I have rooted it with vroot. Then instaled twrm using mtk mobileoncle plus supersu. You can download correct version from lenovo.forum.ru

I think one of the specifications listed there, whether or not there is behind casing. because mine is not available microSD slot. there are only a miniUSB slot and audio jack 3.5, as well as slots for dual SIM
to my knowledge, ROW version is 2gb and 1gb CN. please correct if I'm wrong.

Did you root it while you were on jellybean or kitkat? After upgrading to kitkat neither vroot, nor framaroot are working. I tried with three different windows laptops.
Lenovo S860 2GB RAM = ROW
Lenovo S860 1GB RAM = CN/vibeui
I root it on kitkat with no problems using vroot.

Hi, Iam from India and Iam using LG G Pro(F240, Korean model), Android version 4.1.2, Kernal version 3.4.0.
Software version LG-F240-EUR.
I have root access and while attempting to remove bloatware, I accidentally removed 'video streaming' system software and from that time onwards I am not able to stream YouTube videos on my device. Using Tubemate, Iam able to download YouTube vids, but Iam not able to directly view YouTube videos.
Tried hard reset, but no use.
Went to LG service Centre. They agreed to port Jellybean, Indian version into my phone(they did not have Kitkat), but again they said, the OS versions being from different countries may clash and the motherboard may have to be changed.
They quoted big price for the new motherboard, for which I disagreed.
Now, can anybody please provide the missing 'video streaming' software for my device?
Or can I port android kitkat on to my phone from the Internet?
Can I Port Kitkat Indian version or should I go for the Kitkat Korean version only?
Please help.
I suggest checking out this section here

Hello everyone, this is my first post, and I really do because I'm desperate, i buy honor 6 and I received a truly strange model, since configurations said to be the model "H300" , when I connect it to the computer tell me which is the model "H60-L01" and the box says "H60-L12"
I'm a little upset because I wanted a phone that could upgrade to 3.0 EMUI and really was not what I wanted.
Please, someone has a solution to this problem, expain me what have to do I am not very familiar with these temmas to update phone, I simply ask them to give me some steps to podersolucionar this problem.
sorry by my english
thx
you bought a refurbished or used honor? It seems like someone has flashed there other firmware as the stock for this model. When you turn it around so you can see the back of the phone. near the speaker on the back there should be a written text - two lines - most of the chars are chinese but in the 2nd row you should read something like: Chinese chars: H60-L12 CMIT ID: ...
If its so it can be a L12. Another way is to get CPU-Z from Play store and verify the specs with the data sheet to get sure not to got a fake.
If you bought a brand new phone and got an already used honor I would give it back and order a new one. If its not so you can revert the full stock rom with the howto here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/huawei-honor-6-index-t2963209
Scroll down to:3 Button Restore not working (If you change between variant example L02>L12) Or Partition been changes and cannot restore back Stock version. Use this steps below : -
But keep in mind there is a chance to brick the phone. So all things you do are on your own riks!
By the way... What was the model you bought? Honor 3C, Honor 6 L01 or Honor 6 L12?
Is it dual sim ? has NFC ? has 32gb ?
Yes, is the 32gb model
Sent from my H300 using XDA Free mobile app
So it seems your problem is solved?
how did you end up with a honor 6 running iuni from the start
that honor 6 must be a used one
its a honor 6 but running on iuni os
what is the build no
and the model no is printed on the back of the device
Hello there, I'm gonna buy a new mobile phone, the new dual sim Huawei P10 Lite with 64 Gb of storage and 4 GB of RAM; I've chosen this one instead of the 32 Gb storage of theP10 Lite European version.
My doubt is that is a Chinese version, that can be locked for downloading any of the most common Google Apps (U tube, Play store etc.)
I'll buy it from an European importer, does everyone know if WAS-TL10 can install Gapps without rooting the phone?
Thanks a lot, greetings from Italy!
Jessy
Up, please help me
Thanks
Hi,
We have a Huawei Nova Youth (model number WAS-TL10) bought in China, and Play Store refuses to install. Haven't tried youtube. Most apps on the Play Store will work fine if you download the apk and install that way but it's not very convenient. We're going to try rooting the device, if we have any success I'll try to remember to let you know. :angel:
Cheers
