I have almost unusable phone right now. It updated itself to latest official Miui 12.5.1, which took off all google related apps.
I cannot downgrade. I cannot add account to Mi Unlock Status. I tried enabling Find, logging off / on, rebooting phone, removing sim card.
Basically looks like Im stuck with 12.5.1 with no google apps and no options of changing ROM from Chinese to Global.
Anyone have any other ideas, solutions that can possibly help me make the phone usable again? (not just a door holder )
I just did the same thing
Had a Pixel Google rom before, but because the phone was rebooting on its own sometimes. I deciced to try new Miui 12.5.1, but I forgot there is no Google apps and half of the apps are in Chinese.
I tried to install other ROM, but the FASTBOOT is not recognized by the computer.

hi,
firstly i'm unsure where to put this, it's not actually a question, but it may be seen as one.. so, if you prefered it in the Q&A then i'm sorry for getting it wrong.
i've got a lot of issues with the basic version of the software of my phone (huawei ascend y300-0000 is what is written on it, i think it's the chinese version, most of the base apps are chinese), till it died on me and even the recovery wouldn't solve anything, so i had to root, unlock bootloader, install an alternate recovery and finally put some mod roms;
well, i was wrong, since 3 days i can't use my phone, since apparently every rom is for "0100" version and on my phone some roms wouldn't start at all (it shows the first animation continuosly), while others works in everything but the local netwrok ! it totally don't want to recognize my sim (after the first time it also says to put in a sim, while mine is already in);
i also have been trying to install the custom chinese rom MIUI v5, but apparently this isn't booting at all, and forcing upgrade with a retail of B197 gives error while installing.
all this being said, could someone help me to:
if possible, modify a custom rom that is lighter and also has nice options like bluethoot tethering, if it's not.. find something that actually works on this version of the phone,
i'm really at a loss of what to do, i even have downloadeded this shuame program, but it's all in chinese and i'm trying to not break completely my phone
Thanks for your time
i found some chinese roms, just one seems to be working when flashed tho, and in this one the network don't seem to be working either (the phone searchs for a UIM card), is there any way to make it work? i tried flashing some european baseband, but it doesn't seem like it changed anything
Hi, I got a Lenovo Vibe X3 Lite K51c78, chinese version (its also called X3c78, I think).
I need help how to flash a new rom, Lollipop or Marshmallow, does not really matter.
My device does not seem to be running official stock rom from Lenovo.
App manager is missing in system settings and its a lot of bloatware.
I have found a rom from official VIBEUI web page
VIBEUI_V3.5_1617_5.332.1_ST_K51c78_WC4D630384.zip
But it fails when i flash it in recovery mode.
And I can't find any software to flash VIBEUI rom.
It's incompatible with SP Flash tool, cause it has different scatter file and files such as "system.new.dat" etc.
Please help.
Thank you.
Just replying to bump this up - I recently got my Vibe X3 Lite and am finding heaps on this site about the next model up, the X3, but very little about this one. I can't seem to get Google Now launcher working (it says I need to go to the existing launcher's settings and clear preferences, a button which is greyed out...) and my box arrived with the factory seal broken, so I think it's at least prudent to flash SOMEthing before putting in my real details.
This is a heck of a phone for an amazing price, I'm surprised it's not getting more attention!

That filename looks like the same one I downloaded from http://www.vibeui.com/vibeui/rom3?key=K51c78
And if that's the one you have, it's the one which has worked for me. I just renamed it to update.zip and installed it from Recovery mode. What sort of problem did you have? Did you try downloading it again?
From what I can tell the Lenovo launcher lacks an app drawer, but you can add an "All Apps" widget to your home screen. Also, most manufacturers install bloatware (they prefer to think of it as value-added experiences) and you usually can't remove them without gaining root access.
I tried replacing the launcher with Google Now (simply wouldn't work) and with Nova Launcher (worked but very crashy, widgets refused to be placed, some features didn't work) so I'm back on the Lenovo launcher. Will at some point try rooting and getting rid of the extra stuff...

how do you update the zip file using recovery mode, because i dont understand the recovery mode language because it is in Chinese, can you show me how to update using the recovery mode?
Do you have google services? I update mine from vibeui_v2.9_1608_5.1112.1_st_k51c78 (with preinstall google services) to the same rom you use using lenovo recovery and now my google services is gone..how to update without losing the google services?
Hey guys,
I also had the same problem with having no Google services. I downloaden a gapp app from internet and after a moment I got my Google apps and service Back. Maybe this could Help.
Hello everyone, Luckily or unluckily i bought this device few days ago. I have same problems "Chinese recovery" and "cant find anyway to root" this device. Will someone please help?
Hi I just got myself a 2nd hand Lenovo Vibe X3 Lite (K51C78), was happily flashing away with SPMultiPortFlashTool (SP Flash Tool doesn't work). After few flashing, suddenly when I try to connect the phone for another round of flashing, the phone suddenly cannot stay connected. Meaning in the device manager, I see Mediatek Preloader VCOM USB (Android) appear and disappear (connect and disconnect) many times. It cannot stay connected even though I already press Start in SPMultiPortFlashTool. It downloads FOR A WHILE then because it disconnects around 2-3 seconds after, the flashing failed.
Did I just hard brick my phone? Seems I cannot recover with attempts until now
I need the phone to stay connected. What actually caused this connect and disconnect issue?
I really need a hint. Tried several things. Even to times i installed a stock rom and did factory reset cause of the FRP tripped. Now I'm able to get acces to stock rom without the need to setup with google account. But still no luck with Oreo roms. Installing rom only runs flawlessly but with gapps there are crashes and no possibility to get playstore working to setup the phone properly. So what did you guys do to make it work? I read a lot through the forum but there is maybe something I've overseen. Any hint is useful. To remind, I got a XT1541. Thanks in advance.
Hi Guys, I bought a second hand 10 Ultra that had the EU ROM version 12.10. Battery life, everything was perfect. EXCEPT the camera! And the camera was THE only reason to buy this phone. Horrible photos, a lot of smear and haze when a light source was in the picture, like a light bulb, computer screen, almost unusable. So after reading that the chinese ROM can fix the issue I've used Xiomiflash and installed the latest official CN ROM : https://xiaomirom.com/en/download/mi-10-ultra-cas-weekly-V13.0.0.1.1.DEV/ . Fantastic photos, great camera overall but many bugs concerning all the apps installed via Google Play. no real time notifications, gmail interface very laggy , an important battery drain (10% overnight as with EU Rom was 1-2%).
So I have decided to go back. I have download and tried to install an EU ROM, it installed something but froze halfway and after a few hours I stopped the program.
Tried again and no luck, now I get the error message "anti rollback check error". I have google it, ran the cmd I have a code 1 in the phone.
On youtube there is a fix to that and all the comments are positive, so I opened the "bat" file in a txt editor and deleted the first lines about the rollback check.
Open the EU ROM with Xiaomiflash and It started to work but froze again after 10'-20' for hours.
So for the time being I think I have a bricked phone that starts with a bootloop, I can get in into the chinese recovery but using that it gets it again in the bootloop, I tbelieve that it"s booting into a corrupted ROM.
I have found this tool from XIAOMI http://zhushou.xiaomi.com/ but it's all in chinese, I have tried with a camera translator app on another phone but it's just impossible to translate.
I really really hope I can still get it back to work! Ideally with an EU rom, a 12.5 version, if downgrading it's impossible then again with the version13 beta CN ROM that worked.
Anyone any idea?
To resume evrything: Phone worked with EU ROM 12.5 - Used xiomiflash - wipe evrything- installed CN rom v13 - wipe evrything /tried to reinstall EU ROM v12.5- roll back error -stuck - wipe everything/tried to reinstall the same CN ROM V13- stuck halfway - Phone in bootloop/ fastboot -can access recovery mode that doesn't help.
I know it's long but I spent 2 full days and evenings trying to solve it :-(
Many many thanks in advance !
Hey, have you tried reinstalling using fastboot? basically start flashing from scratch. and stick to using only weekly or stable rom.
Hi, I have this super-weird issue - my OOS got update to v12 and since then weird things happened:
It started to suddenly and immediately turn off and I couldnt do a thing. I did hard reset and noticed that turning on Gooogle Assistant (or using the mic at all) caused these resets. So I didnt activte Assistant. Unfortunnately, this caused my mic not to work at all.
So i have given up and decided to revert to previous rom - v11. Unfortunately, that is everything but simple:
I have downloaded ROM for EU from here oneplus site and tried both OP local update tool and this weird app named my application2. Both dont seem to work and im not sure why, I checked like 5 different ROM versions and I am kind of stuck. OP Local prompts me that I cannot install lower version of package than currently installed and this other app throws me pop up with this message: "Verification failed". I tried to google it and checked here on forum and I cant find similar thread.
Could anyone help me out with this?
I just went through this. I downgraded from 12L to 11. For some reason some of the roms do not want to be used by the local upgrade app. I used a different one from the one I will direct you to and it said that I couldn't downgrade. I just had to find the right one. Go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...a-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.3930585/
Under "signed flashable zips" in the op, click "click to show content". I don't know which one you need global/India or Europe. I specifically used the global/India OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.P.41_GLO_0410_2112101753.
Use the local upgrade tool app. Downgrading will completely wipe your phone. So, make backups of your backups. If you root your phone, make sure to freeze the System Update app to get rid of the annoying update notification. So happy to have root/twrp back.
Thanks, unfortunately I have rolled back to OOS 11 and it didnt solve a thing - i keep seeing this lightning symbol and phone turns off even on full battery, I cant make phone calls because any use of mic turns off the phone immediately and I have no clue what to do next with it.
