【Tutorial】Lenovo S880 - ♡All you ever need to know♡

Hi guys,
This is Nic (despite my "wongyikhoong" username) from Malaysia. I have recently bought 2 units of Lenovo S880 from Beijing, China and I am instantly in love with this device. I see a lot of people facing problems with this phone. So I am here trying to help out as much as I can.
Lenovo S880 is a cool 5 inch ICS running device with dual sim capabilities. Specs as below:
Lenovo LePhone S880 specs:
5.0″ LCD display @ 480×800 pixels
1.0GHz MediaTek MT6575 processor
512MB RAM
4Gb internal storage
up to 32Gb via microSD
3G/HSDPA, dual-SIM, dual-standby
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
GPS with aGPS support
2250mAh Li-Ion battery
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
However, due to the fact that it is a China phone, it came pre-installed with loads of rubbish Chinese applications which tremendously slow down the device and there is no Google apps installed onto the device. The phone came with a native Chinese ROM and there IS a ROW (Rest Of The World) ROM out there.
In order to make the phone usable to us international users, you would need to flash a ROW ROM onto the device. And here's how to.
Stuff you would need:
1. Micro USB cable
2. MediaTek USB VCOM drivers
3. SP Flash Tool (v3.1206.01 or higher)
4. A ROW ROM for your Lenovo S880
All the above can be obtained from my Dropbox folder
1. Download and install the MediaTek USB VCOM drivers to your PC.
2.

please make a complete tutorial. because i can't read chinesse kanji,

If the phone was not rooted then a Data Factory reset from the recovery would fix the phone.
If it was rooted, still try to factory reset, if it doesn't work try to reflash the stock from.

Homtom HT37, MT6580 cannot ROOT, cannot unlock bootloader

Hello
I am having an issue with my Homtom HT37 device which I want to flash with a custom rom because the default one is full with spyware and viruses of all sorts. I did some flashing with SP tool but the roms I tested were not compatible and the device was soft bricked. Fortunately I found the original stock rom together with scatter file and flashed to the original rom.
My question is that I am not able to boot to bootloader (through adb commands or button combination) because the device keeps booting to normal mode.
I also tried also to use mtkdroidtool (to root) but I am not able to root, unlock bootloader or anything.
I get the below screens when using mtkdroidtool:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have seen on many other posts but always I am stuck on the adb reboot bootloader point
Can you give me some clues how can I root HT37 or flash it with some compatible custom rom?
Phone specs: Homtom HT37, MT6580, Android 6.0, Build ID: HOMTOM-P516-HT37-Android_6.0-V01-20170510
Thanks in advance,
Enid

Can you upload your stock recovery and scatter file .... i can try and port a twrp for you.

Hi,
I don't know if I can post a url link here, but I downloaded the official stock rom of H37 including scatter file from here:
h t t p s : // drive.google.com /file/ d/ 0B16vGQMnirEfZFViRjdIMzhRaTg/ view
p.s I entered some spaces on the url

I managed to find a link (from a youtube video) which worked and downloaded the correct TWRP image for Homtom HT37
Homtom recovery image HT37
ALL NECESSARY FILES drive .google . com / open?id=0B4t5Czq54qaxWG1ueUR0R3kwU3M
------------------------------------------------
ALL NECESSARY FILES FOR HT37 PRO VERSION drive .google . com/ open?id=0B4t5Czq54qaxNm5CSHJQMXI2aTA
Now I am able to install custom roms and I tested some of them but all had issues, some didn't boot at all while some other had crashing apps issues:
Roms downloaded from: getdroidtips . com /custom-rom-homtom-ht37/
- Resurrection Remix (821) keeps showing everytime android.process.media keeps stopping, google play services stopped working and reboots without reason.
- LineageOS 13 (doesn't boot at all)
- MIUI 8.1.1 (doesn't boot at all)
- Flyme OS6 (doesn't boot at all)
Do you have any suggestion for a compatible ROM for Homtom HT37?
Thanks

Hello guys;
On the official website they indicate using the "firmware upgrade" option instead to "download only" and update the preloader.bin file. How should I proceed? another question: this process unlocks the bootloader and accesses the root?
