I searched the forums but couldn't find any answers. This is the first time I'm trying to root an android phone. Things are not going well..
I found a page in Indonesian with instruction on how to root my sister's Lenovo S890. My dad bought her one in China, we live in Europe.
We need to get all the Chinese stuff off and install a "regular" Android version with a normal marketplace (read: whatsapp and google and nothing blocked).
The page with instructions is at http://www.duniaku.net/2013/03/30/u...rtisi-internal-storage-lenovo-ideaphone-s890/ I used Google Translate.
What are the steps? First you need to set up some files such as drivers are required to carry out the process of flashing, SP Flash Tool version 3.1222 or higher, because Lenny chipset MTK6577 S890, S890 and file TWRP to also file a Super User and Busybox will be pushed into the system through TWRP. All the files you can download from the following link:
1 Download Driver Lenovo : Extract file. rar it and then click Install_Driver.exe to install drivers into the system. Rather long process, just wait.
2 Download SP Flash Tool : The author gave the newer version, which v3.1224.01. .
3 Download Team Win Recovery Project : TWRP file is specific to the Lenovo S890, so do not try for another Android, although it also MediaTek chipset.
4 Download Super User and Busybox : Will we push into the system through TWRP custom recovery. Download and copy directly to SD Storage / Memory Cards-mu. Place it outside the / root folder or USB Storage Storage SD / USB storage from your Lenovo S890.
5 Download Data Repartition : This file is optional, just download and place it in the root folder Storage SD / USB Storage. Can later be used to repartition the internal memory is too small Lenovo S890. Author will explain at the bottom.

I first installed the Lenovo S890 drivers. Clicked "Install anyway" for everything and rebooted. No problems.
But when I connect the phone it's still complaining that it can't find drivers (and I can't find any official drivers on the Lenovo website either)?
I also installed the MT6577 USB VCOM drivers that I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206421 (before I did this the SP Flash Tool did nothing).
I enabled USB Debugging mode on the phone, and took out the SIM, the SD card and the battery when I connect it to USB to the PC. I am running Win7x64.
Every time I try to run (step 2) SP Flash tool, it starts downloading fine, but then Win7 'spits out' the phone (I can hear the 'usb device disconnected' sound) and SP Flash Tool obviously stops working then and gives some error.
I think this is because the MediaTek MT6577 USB VCOM drivers somehow refuse to install correctly? It looks like rooting might go well once this driver thing is fixed?
When I force installation of the drivers I get a Code 10 error and a yellow triangle next to the Preloader and the MediaTEL Vcom something USB driver in Windows Device Manager. ( I searched the forums and didn't find a solution for this).
I forced installation by opening Device Manager, click Add, click Add Legacy Hardware - manual - choose the usb2ser_Win764.info file out of the MT6577 USB VCOM drivers folder
This is what's in the .inf file : Is there anything I can change here to force it to work?

How do I stop Windows from ejecting the phone (force it to keep it connected as the MediaTek thingie that seems to work with SP Flash Tool?).
Or is there a better way to get an English Android version on this phone?
When I now try to boot the phone it says
tool dl image fail
uboot is blocking by dl info
Did I (soft)brick it??
Thanks in advance for all the help!!
Giving up
Since this seems to be a less popular phone with very little support available - I'm giving up.
Spent 3 full days on this thing with no results, and I just read the GPS also won't work outside of China either.
Now all I need to do is figure out how to get it out of META mode or Factory mode, and get it to boot back into it's normal Chinese Android system.

Hi, I'm having a much similar problem, since I couldn't flash recovery with SP flash tool, the process was terminated unexpectedly showing error message s_ft_need_download_all_fail (4050), after a couple of days looking for a solution I decided to format the phone with SP Flash Tool, and it worked, right after I tried to flas recovery again...and it worked. I thought I had found the way but when I tried to boot the phone in recovery mode nothing happened, no matter what keys combination I use, how long I press them, the phone just won't react, it doesn't show anything on the screen.
I don't know if this was the logic step to follow, but if you want to try and discover what to do next, up to you, 4 hands are better than 2,maybe yuo find the solution.
Good luck.
There is no button combination to boot recovery, try droidgram-reboot on play store.

Hi,
Follow these steps to update your phone (or ask Oukitel via mail how to update it):
0). Download and extract this program https://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Pack-SPMDT-v3.1544.00.00.rar
1). Turn off the smartphone. Cable is not connected to the computer.
2). Remove the battery and insert it again
3). Connect your phone to a computer cable. The operating system detects a new device
4). Disconnect the cable from the computer.
5). Run SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe
6). Choose File> Open File Agent download and specify the file MTK_AllInOneDA.bin (it is in the folder SP_MDT).
7). Click Scatter File and select the MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt file (it's in the folder with the rom).
8). Click "Start all".
9). Connect your phone to a computer cable. The program should see and blink. If the phone is not detected, then unplug it from the computer,
remove and insert the battery (if the battery is removable) and reconnect it to the computer.
10). After (OK) click Stop and disable any phone.
11). Completed.
Please help me, My problem with my galaxy GT-I8262
1. My divice is unreadable as a Data when i conect to my PC, even i instal usb driver on my pc, and atmy device is set to USB debuging
2. My divice alwasy stop and show Up " Android Updater server stop & KMPplayer stop"
Try Cosmic Rom or other that fully supports MTp, or try to flash the 3.0.2 TWRP and then boot into it and connect to the PC if its working then maybe some USb driver issue. try Driver Booster. If still not working please ping me what version and what OS you are using.
I am using Windows 10 Pro Fall Creators Update, and it works fine.
