brief assessment of the costum rom "pemergency" mod = which must be paid
- Setup / flash -> OK
- IMEI must be corrected manually by terminal as tool does not work
- Constant error message "simcard failed" (slot2) although only 1 slot has
- "apex launcher" can not uninstall, then stops at the boot process lenovo screen -> I would also like to use but "default / original" surface.
- Spoke only Russian / English / chinese integrated as standart
- Morelocale2 indeed is an alternative but not "original"
ok, first feedback - hope the rom is modified?

a) no comment
b) IMEI must be corrected and it is mentioned in a manual, it doesnt need to be done by terminal, you can simple generate a file and swap with a root explorer
c) This Rom is for A2107a-h which is a 2 slots device, so I dont see a problem on this point
d) I said as this is modiffication, I decide to remove a stock launcher, you can install any other one of your choice
e) I also answered to your question as for german language only original apps are translated and the main system, on other threeead is clearlly said as this rom using more locale 2 for translation.
f) and as a last one, why you expecting anything original in a modiffied ROM?
I stoping to doing anything with this ROM for a simple reason:
- FREE ROM = 900 downloads,
- PAID ROM FOR £5 = 5 downloads - embarrassing
Why?
and one more thing...
My correspondence with mrbonsen, when I tried to help him out with the installation process is also interesting. About 10 emails with instructions to mrbonsen and also 10 emails of insults from mrbonsen. That means something....
So conclusion is simply... go back to your original firmware and I will give you your £5 back
and also 10 emails of insults from mrbonsen.

if you tool mitsendest + description for the correction of the IMEI, it should work well. not every user knows another solution
But no matter now - can only recommend not to use this rom :good:
ask no insult but (as in the mails) what's wrong on the screen, apex launcher bug or "bug mrbonsen" - display does not turn or apex

You did a great job and 900 downloads are impressive. i have a A2107A-H 1GHz 1GB RAM 16GB Flash - how come nobody is providing feedback or helping out in this development? Could there be a way to update.zip just the standard factory ROM? maybe that could be possible by doing a diff on the chinese and european source code? sorry i'm just a lamer looking to help out. any news from lenovo developers on the 4.1 release?
today is your cwm rom accessible for download for trial?
Ofcourse it is possible to get back the standard ROM just ask someone who still have a European ROM to do a copy by nandroid backup and you can restore this by centeCWM. So after that you will have a stock ROM with CWM but without calling feature.
I nearly finish another ROM with calling feature but this will be based on Russian ROM. I just need to get European system backup to do it same thing with European ROM.

may inform some user from the German forum.
pretty much at the end of the page
http://www.android-hilfe.de/lenovo-ideapad-a2-forum/341347-a2107a-root-cwm-custom-rom-5.html
The ZTE Blade C V807 is an MTK device that has no official TWRP and thus users can’t flash it easily through Goo Manager or TWRP Manager. However, TWRP has been compiled for this device and I shared it in this thread.
I saw it more useful to share the procedure on how to install it as well, as it would help another person with this device in case they wanted to install it more so in an attempt to flash custom roms on their phone.
Procedure:
Download TWRP from this thread and put it at the root of your SD Card (Not in any folder)
Rename TWRP image to ‘recovery.img’
Download and install Mobileuncle Tools and install it on your phone
Open Mobileuncle Tools and grant it root permission (See this thread to root phone)
Scroll to ‘Recovery Update’
Select ‘recovery.img’
Tap ‘OK’ to confirm
Done.
You can boot into recovery mode (Start phone while holding the Volume Up button) to access new recovery.
Enjoy!
Fully Working CWM 6.0.5.1 for InFocus M512
1 CLICK ROOT IS there.
As you may know, PochiMak released CWM 6 for the InFocus M512. But it had a problem... A huge one. If you flashed the recovery, you were stuck in recovery bootloop, and couldn't get out until you flashed the stock one back. Well luckily _zerg[email protected] released a fully working CWM6 for our device, no bootloops or anything.
Everything (almost) works just fine. Backups to both internal (sdcard) and external (sdcard1) storages work well.

A.P.U. - thanks for these instructions! I am coming back to this phone to play with and try to learn some things for android modding and development, and having CWM available is very, very helpful.
Note to any others who are coming along late: the linked location for the CWM zip seems to be unavailable anymore. I looked through that thread on the Russian forum and found a Google Drive location with that zip and other important files for the M512. Please check the below instead:

Awesome, it worked perfectly! Thanks so much! There's like no development for this device, so very happy to see root finally working.
Thank you very much! I've rooted the VK6735 with this for about a month now.
Although some root software said it could root this phone; it didn't. I kept searching and finally saw this method.
Everything is working fine (except it takes the phone a little longer to boot).
Installed a couple of root apps and Xposed modules en hadn't had a problem with them.
Thanks
Hi guys, I found a method to root and flash anything on my P8000 without unlock the bootloader, use SP Flash Tool and even use PC. I tried to go this way because I was not able to get my P8000 recognized by Flash Tool nor as a MTP (mass storage) device in any Windows 7 laptop. I decided to write this post because no-one over the net talks about alternative method of rooting Elephone P8000.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for ANY damage (software or hardware of any type) caused to your device, remember that I'm not a developer, and I'm only reporting my personal experience. DON'T try to flash rom linked below on other devices or flash roms which are not compatible with P8000.
Rooting and flashing process may VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
LET'S START.
1) DOWNLOAD THE STUFF: download everything directly through the browser of your P8000.
-TWRP recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/download/8g25vzkml5bk7o4/Elephone_P8000_TWRP_2.8.7.0_v.4_1.zip
-Custom Rom: choose the rom you prefer from the link below and download it directly in your smartphone, my favorite one is Nexus rom:
-Eragon rom:http://www.needrom.com/download/eragon-3-for-p8000/
-CyanogenMod 12.1: http://www.needrom.com/download/stable-cyanogenmod-12-1/
-Mokee OS: http://www.needrom.com/download/mokeeos-2/
-EMUI V3.1 : http://www.needrom.com/download/emui-v3-1-lite-stable-2/
-NEXUS rom v2.4: http://www.needrom.com/download/nexus-10/
-Flyme rom: http://www.needrom.com/download/p8000_flyme-4-5-3-15082-5-1/
-Gapps: if you choose to install Nexus rom. or Mokee OS or CyanogenMod 12.1, you may need to install google apps also if you want google services and play store to run on your device. Click on the link from the browser of your device. Select ARM_64, then 5.1, and than "pico" and click on the button to download: http://opengapps.org/. If you need others apps download them from the play store.
2) ROOT YOUR P8000.
Use an app called Kingroot, but you will not find it on play store. Get it from the link below:
http://kingroot.it.uptodown.com/android
Download the app directly using the browser on your smartphone, then install and open.
Skip the tutorial and click on "Root device". Wait the process to be done (few minutes) and don't be scared if the device reboots. This app is able to root the most of android devices, but not the 100% is compatible.
3)UNZIP THE RECOVERY:
Install an app knows as RAR from play store, than open it and navigate to the directory where the twrp recovery zip is contained (usually "download" folder). Open the zip and extract the IMG file contained in it into the same folder.
4)INSTALL FLASHIFY.
You can find this app on the play store, or you may download it from the link below:
http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/pqLDpS5F/file.html. Open the app and grant superuser permissions, than accept the agreement.
Click on "Recovery image", than "choose a file" and than "downloads", select the IMG file of the recovery you extracted before and wait for the process to finish, a message will appear. This app can be used on any android device that is compatible, but flash only IMG and zip files specific for your model. Now we can install the Rom or any zip file you want through the twrp recovery.
5) NANDROID BACKUP:
Power off your P8000 and than boot into recovery mode. To do this press and hold power button and volume up at the same time, release them when white writings appear. Press volume app button to select "recovery mode" and than volume down to enter recovery mode.
Swipe the bar to allow system modifications, click on " backup" and select every partition displayed, then choose where the backup file will be stored and write the name you want to give to the backup file.
Swipe the bar to start and wait untill the process finishes ( few minutes). Press the back button to return to the main menu.
6) INSTALL ROMS OR OTHER ZIPS:
Before Installing a new rom you need to wipe many partitions of the device, from the main menu select "wipe" and "Advanced wipe", then select the partitions that you may wipe: system, data, cache.
Swipe to wipe and wait the process to finish (few minutes) an then press back button to return to main menu.
Now click on "install" and select "internal sorage" among the options, navigate and select the "download" folder where your downloaded zip files are(rom and gapps in this case). Select the zip that you want to install ( the rom in our case), swipe to confirm and wait few minutes, than press back and install the gapps zip as well.
At the end of the process click on "reboot system" and wait for the smartphone to reboot.
The first time it will take more time than a usual reboot (from 5 minutes to 10 minutes).
I hope this article will help you out!
