Lenovo A616 - Custom ROMs, similar model ? - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I just got a Lenovo A616 as gift. It has the latest firmware (A616_S023_150110).
The phone itself says it has a MediaTek MT6752
4x ARM Cortex-A53 (32-bit ARMv7
GPU Renderer Mali-T760
As it does not seem that there is a sub-forum for these and I only stumbled across a guy that isnt able to root his device
and one ROM on another site :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/help-root-lenovo-a616-t3254634
http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-a616-2/
I wanted to know if there is any similarity to other lenovo phones regarding custom roms...or if I shall instantly forget about this phone ? :silly:
I really like this phone, except for the very bad camera and many apps/games force closing for no reason (maybe 512mb is no longer enough)
I like the additonal "security features" and the overall design of VIBE UI.
Even the built-in "ROM recovery" (which wont download a ROM) mentions rooting and recovery...but I cant find custom ROMs and the chinese forums only revealed there is VIBUE UI 3.0 now.
I would really like to try rooting and custom ROMS, or at least know if VIBE UI 2.7.176 will be updated to the new 3.0 or if this phone will recieve Android 5.0 (its not enlisted in the lenovo upgrade matrix anyway?)
But again, I cant find much about this device.

}

I do now it uses "VIBE UI" (bbs.vibeui.com)
I read on the chinese lenovo forum, that "VIBE UI 3.0" got announced.
As there is not much to find about these phones, a video from youtube about "VIBE UI 2.0" had the lockscreen image of the hot-air-ballon
which my phone has as well. So I might have UI 2.0. (?)
Anyone with any idea how to check which VIBE UI is currently installed on my phone and if there are attempts on putting newer UIs to older phones ?
I start to like this phone, with all its additonal features and security options...if just the camera wouldnt be a 320x240 one, calling itself 5 MP
Im pretty aware that the A616 isnt the most powerfull phone, but similar phones get the VIBE UI 3.0 upgrade and
will recieve lollipop according to Lenovos upgrade matrix.
And even if many ppl arent happy with the lollipop update on the lenovo forums...I wonder why I cant find any infos reagarding UI 3.0
or lollipop for the A616. It got release din dec. 2014 and I cant find much...
Also I cant find the malaysian / chinese upgrade matrix.
p.s.
Recovery works VolUp+Power
Why do chinese recovery look so...different ? ;D

needrom.com
Has anybody tried the rom of this phone available in the site needrom.com?

I have also found that 2 ROMs, but comments arent 100% positive or questions only.
But the tool seems to be ready for various MTK chp based china mobile phones :
SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe
http://androidurdu.net/flash-china-phone-mtk-multi-port-flash-tool/
Still, those 2 ROMs are based on the original ROM, dont have gapps and compass(?)..and Im not sure what the difference would be.

The email [email protected] is no longer working (?) (5.1.1 User unknown)
Anyone knows who else I could contact at lenovo about this matter ?

Probably not related to xda at all...anyone registered there already ? Is it safe ?
http://myanmarxda.com/index.php?topic=1753.0
The phone itself says it has a MT6752
4x ARM Cortex-A53 (32-bit ARMv7
GPU Renderer Mali-T760
Now I read there is a "chinese phone root app" and people having problems with it and getting CWM run...as there is no real (complete) tutorial...(?)

needrom.com working
There are two A616 roms at needrom.com
I've flashed the gapps one. Everything working fine except the following:
In my case, the big big big problem is the f***ing Lenovo bloatware (even keyloggers)
That slows down the phone a lot.

Thank you for the information !
Too bad
Which app did you use to root your phone ? Did you install CWM ?

I have a Lenovo A5800-d that can be flashed with the A616-rom that needrom offers. But I cannot get Imei recovered. so it is useless. I have a chinese rom found on baidu for my phone. It is rooted and working smooth, but I cannot get playstore working on it. That is a kind of a problem. With help of titanium backup, I can get most of my apps in english or dutch and imei is ok. But I cannot use google services like agenda updates.
Perhaps that chinese rom works for you. It is called A5800-d_S022_Root.
Is there someone who knows a solution for my playstore-problem?

Great phone, i have the V970 witch is the same on the outside, but totally different phone.
Yeah, the V970 (aka Grand X) has Tegra 2 chipset and less RAM (512MB.), the rest looks to be identical with the Grand X IN. Some people complain about the creaking back cover, but I havent noticed any problems with the construction. The edges are comfortably rounded, only the MicroUSB hole looks "low-cost" ZTE also promised Jelly Bean update which will fix the short touch buttons backlight. Intel was testing the JB update a few months ago, so it should be released in Q1 2013.
The application compatibility is ... almost the same as with an ARM chipset. Every app I've tryed is working fine, smooth and without lags, except Trial Xtreme 2 game which lagging like hell, video and audio too. Just a few minutes before I noticed some problems with Wifi internet, the connection looks stable, its not disconnecting, but the internet is working only for a few second in periods for example it works 3 sec. in 30sec. period. Strange. My wifi router signal is stable and strong, other devices are working fine. Yesterday and today I was on the same wifi too and without a single problem. Strange. Also once when I was copying a huge file from PC to phone via USB with MTP, the phone simply rebooted. I hope these bugs will be fixed in forthcoming FW update.
Yeah, the V970 (aka Grand X) has Tegra 2 chipset and less RAM (512MB.)

The V970 uses MTK6577 and 1gb ram. There is also Grand X Mimoza with the characteristics you wrote.
Overall, we have 3 phones that look exactly the same from the outside ( besides the sticker and the front camera on the IN), but totally different inside...
Anyway, this is Grand X IN topic, so i'll be shutting up now :silly:

WARNING(about custom ROMs):
As of now (23th December), at least in Polish version of Grand X In(4gb internal memory, no fmradio), there is no possibility to revert rom back to original one. If any of XDA users has any idea how to fix this problemm, please share. Also if you have noticed similair behaviour on other devices and there was a solution for it, please post it!
As far the following steps have been made:
installing Romanian/Norwegian/Hungarian versions of rom
restoring original recovery
changing build.prop to original one
editing build.prop and changing persist.service.adb.enable=1 to persist.service.adb.enable=0
It seems like device is not being correctly recognised while trying to switch back to original ROM(T-mobile PL version).
What I saw on some Hungarian forums, there is no problem with returning the original ROM. They also tryed combinating the Xolo X900s kernel and ROM with the GXINs kernel and ROM. X900s ROM was running good on stock kernel even if the resolution was different, also the BT/Wifi wasnt working.

Hi guys,
I've been looking for an unlock method for this phone lately and had no success. Didn't find any free or pay services which work proven. Does one of the custom roms unlock also or any ideas?
Thanks!
Please visit the Android Forum Polish we have everything for this phone

I'm really thinking about getting this device, but I'm waiting for some informations from xda developers - some custom roms etc. I have HTC HD2 for now, so I need device with a lot of customizations for example android 4.2
It's coming for me tomorrow ...can't wait!!!
Great Smartphone!
New good Android-Phone from ZTE for the good price. Great!
Unfortunately, I don't see any movement for this excellent phone from the developers in xda. Maybe they don't like the Intel processor?

In several places I've seen there is working ClockworkMod recovery for GXIN, but haven't find any tutorial. Anyone?

In Hungarian forum you have working custom recovery. I don't know is it the CWM or not. And not custom roms they posted about stock roms from this countries. Problem with returning the original ROM now is solved.

No, it's not the CWM, it's the 3e Recovery (I think).
Right... now I get the part about (custom) roms, I misunderstood it for the first time.
Smg else.
As for the Polish forum, I guess it was referred to This site.

Oh, Sorry, my bad! I meant "Custom" not "Clockworkmod" recovery! Sorry for misinformation!
Anyway, I dont have too much time right now to pay attention at all of those GXI communities (Austria, Poland, Hungary), I only watch the Hungarian huge GXI thread at mobilarena.hu. I will try to update the main post with all the fresh informations, but cant guarantee.

[Resolved] [Q] How to root an Hyundai SP Octa Eagle 5"?

Hyundai SP Octa Eagle 5″ (Dual SIM, MT6592 based, KK 4.4.2, 1GB RAM, 8GB Flash)​
Since there seems to be no specific help at XDA-Devs for this device, I decided to open this thread to help anyone interested...
After much fiddling, I managed to root this phone by following s7yler instructions for a very similar phone:
JIAKE X3S MTK6592 1.7GHz Octa Core 5.0 Inch HD Screen 3G
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662812​
I didn't succeed right away, so I also tried TowelRoot and Kingo, which also didn't work.
FYI, s7yler method also didn't work immediately: since I had already synchronized with my previous Google account and had a small OTA firmware update, I had to boot the phone into the "Factory Recovery" (Vol.Up+Power) and do a "Factory Reset" (bypass "no command", Vol.Down to move highlight, and Vol.Up to enter).
I then had the phone with no SIM or memory card (the default wallpaper was different, too), upon which I refrained from connecting to any wifi, and then retried the procedure that I had already tried many times before.
The VROOT application s7iler links to from his thread was unable to get the job done; I had to resort to "MT6592 ROOT TOOL 1.0" (from http://vondroid.com/resources/mt6592-root-tool.456/, free registration required), which is nothing but an unpacked older version of VROOT, which was able to update itself to a different version than the official one at the site and finally cracked the nut.

Don't forget to install Chainfire's SuperSU afterwards (and then you can get rid of the Chinese apps installed in the process, if you wish so)...
NOTE: there have been various reports around XDA-Devs forums that VROOT might be malware, so YMMV...
EDIT: just found a set of previous instructions for rooting this SOC at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2619101.
Misc forum links
EDIT3 (IMPORTANT): if after a reflash, you start seeing a "NVRAM ERROR 0x10" (or the lagging originated by it) in your Hyundai EAGLE, you need to make it go away by following the procedure detailed at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730486 (ROOT REQUIRED)...​
One further question remains: how to install a reliable recovery (CWM/TWRP) fit for this model? Tips welcome... :cyclops:
EDIT: And... I have Recovery (check 1st hidden image in present post). By following instruction from this post at the MTKDroid-Tool thread, it as simple a clicking a couple of times. I'd rather have a bigger font or a touch recovery, but hey, beggars can't be choosers...
EDIT2: And (again)... one must only ask -- I now have fully touch TWRP recovery v2.7.1.0 (stable) installed (see 2nd hidden image below), thanks to yuweng's excellent tutorial/utility:

You might have crossed paths with the [THREAD="2784183"]report of a bug[/THREAD] that supposedly affects most Mediatek based phones; I did, and tested positive with the recommended app. But after sending myself a test SMS, I can say happily that's not true for the Hyundai EAGLE -- KitKat to the rescue?
I disliked the default Hyundai boot up animation, so I searched for alternatives; the following instructions totally work for the EAGLE:

Is there anyway to to go stock android but 4.3 so I can use android wear ? If you need more info, hopefully I can supply that when I get my phone tomorrow.
Ok phone arrived.. the CPU is a MT6582/8382.
Camera is terrible and phone took over 5 hours to charge. Hoping I can get a stock 4.3 or higher android on this.
Thanks

Check Needrom.com, will have to create an account to download a rom (I think). I found the right Rom for my v77_55hd. If you can run your device, install Aida64 and run it, look under "Android" it will tell you all you need to know, you need to know the Build ID, and that is shown there. It will be something like ALPS.JB5.MP.V1.21, don't download any ROM that is not for that specific Build., Also pay attention to the kernel version, if any of that does not match, then it is not the right ROM- You can try it, but you might get a black screen.
I just found this one today, but it is not the same one I used. The one I had found seems to be gone. I used this one, which has a video, it's the Rom made by s7yler, and it works well. Hope this helps. Ah - Here is S7yler's ROM for my device, it's prerooted and everything.
I have mine all set up, but I need to know how to get my Sprint SIM card working, if possible. I tried cloning the IMEI from another device, but the SIM locked. Not sure if I'm doing it right.

You're welcome
Works perfect on the dual Sim 5015X, much easier to distinguish between Sim's on CM12.1, haven't come across any issues with bluetooth either?
Purchased this phone brand new at Sainsbury's for £50, while I await parts for my broken s6
Now I have CM12.1, I don't miss the s6 much at all
Great work thanks
Recovery boot

Hi good day.
I've installed this rom on my Pop 3 (5) device. Works very well, but this have a bug. I've selected "just charge" option on USB connection mode, and it never detected usb cable again. I tried several things to put USB mass storage again, but android just don't detect usb connection.
I hope can fix this bug, compilation is very good . Thank you!

Place SuperSU zip on sdcard or internal.
Power off device and remove battery if possible.
Plug in USB cable to PC and click on the download button in SPFT.
Connect your phone and let it flash.
Boot to recovery mode and flash SuperSU.
@ZonaRMR Hi, your rom is perfect, but I need stock firmware files which can be flashed via SP Flash Tool. I can't find it anywhere so can you make a ReadBack via SPFT? Or anyone who has got this phone? My version is 5015X but probably any will be good. Thanks for help. And no, I can't flash stock FW via official Alcatel Upgrade app or something, because phone is not recognized by this app. Only SP Flash Tool can see phone.
This ROM is nice but i can't record videos on my 5015D
Hello, everyone
I just signed up and I installed this ROM...but..-I'd like to know why the SYSTEM, now, uses about 400 MB of RAM (settings - App - In use)...is it just me ??
Thanks..
Hello everyone,
Really thanks for the ROM that you have made available, but there are still too many bugs/problems...
1 - Low volume (lower than ROM stock !!)
2 - Scroll lag (Instagram, Browser, Facebook...)
3 - In most videos (Instagram, Youtube..) you only hear the audio and the image is frozen
4 - I can use only Camera stock (Camu) to make videos, because any other app crashes
5 - System takes up about 350 Mb of Ram (approximately 1 GB total)
...and something else that i'm missing...
Sorry for my not perfect english ...I expect replies...
Thank you so much !!

Question Bounty$100 .. Convert Honor magic vs chinese to global

Hi , Supposedly i bought a new fold phone. Tired of samsung monopoly and big fan of mate 20x , i went for magic vs. I got duped by alibaba seller as he stated that he will install global rom ie MagicOs 7.1 bt phone is still on magic OS 7. (android 12)
So anybody who can actually help me convert it to global are welcome. I got it done earlier for my mate 20x but this time honor magic os is still based on huawei's harmony os and its impossible to get proper google integration.
Also i read its easy to root any snapdragon phone with some method(lost post link)
But when i used to do this earlier it was never possible without unlocking bootloader and to the best of my knowledge honor and huawei no longer provide those.
If nothing comes out., i would have to take things into my own hands. Guys please advice me if its possible to root and if yes, are there any guides to port twrp. Also i remember earlier there used to be things like android kitchen, whats new recently. All advices are welcome. People help!!
Apart from this, mods please feel free to move this to appropriate section.
I have the exact same problem. Got a brand new Honor Magic Vs Chinese version, running MagicOS 7.0 & Android 12 . Great hardware, but can't have Google suite put on properly unless upgrade the system to MagicOS 7.1 with Android 13. While there's quasi solutions to use Google apps, via Gspace or others, it's just not the solid experience unless the Google Services Framework can be put on properly. Can't find a way to upgrade the system software still.

wait, magicOS china has gapps on android 13? I'd be interested in buying a chinese honor as well. anyways, this might be what you are searching for I think (if I got the model right): http://www.viprom.cn/list/21931.html
Hi guys, any one managed to do the global Rom flash to their Magic v or Vs?
Or managed to install the Google services on MagicOs 7.0
Global launch is around the corner so its just a matter of time before we will see a global rom. I think the Problem might be the locked bootloader.
And I can not read Chinese but all these firmwares on the linked site seem to be Android 12 Firmwares. We need a MagicOS 7.1 Firmware. Not 7.0.x.x.x.
can you share your device about pick

hello was there any success ?
So if I bought the global version, does that mean that things like Android auto should work?

I purchased the Magic Vs in the UK and it does have Android Auto integrated.
Also, there is full Google integration.
