Lenovo p780 firmware from memory card. lenovo p780 firmware

Instructions on how to flash custom firmware (Leva OS, Miui, Cyanogen Mod, etc.) branded phone Lenovo Idea Phone P780 or upgrade an existing factory version to a newer one.

Installing firmware from a PC to Lenovo p780.

You will need the following:

A smartphone with a full charge or at least 80% charge.

Windows PC (any version)

USB cable to connect Lenovo P780 to PC

How to flash Lenovo IdeaPhone P780:

Download and install drivers on your computer. For all models of Lenovo smartphones, the drivers are basically identical. This refers to a set of drivers for device firmware (special modes). Installing a working driver does not replace the need to install flash mode drivers.

Download firmware (official or custom for a computer)(you can take it) and unzip the archive to the root of the computer disk into a folder with a name from Latin letters. Remember - the folder name should not contain Russian letters or hieroglyphs. Everything you need, along with the flash driver utility, is in the archive with the firmware initially (the OFFICIAL firmware is implied). For custom - you will need to download separately.

Disconnect the device from the USB computer. Turn off your phone and press the reset key at the memory card slot.

Install the firmware mode drivers - for those who already have it installed - skip it on the computer.

Unzip the special modes driver anywhere.

Connect the switched off phone to the computer. Within 2 seconds, an unidentified object will appear on the dispatcher. Promptly, until it disappears - click on it - in the window that appears, click UPDATE DRIVER and indicate the direction where you unpacked the drivers. Having done everything right - when connecting the switched off device for 2 seconds. you will have the following object:

Now you can flash the firmware on your smartphone;

Run the Flash_tool.exe program - which is in the folder with the firmware in the UpgradeTool subsection

Press the Scatter-Loading key, then go to the firmware folder in the target_bin subsection and select the MT6589t_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file. If a message appears - Icorrect scatter File format, check the name of the flasher pack (the shorter with Latin letters, the better and / or change the flasher version.)

Put a mark (“bird”) on - DA DL ALL WITH Cheksum (When the firmware is carried out without this mark, the device will not start working and will have to be flashed again)

Press the Firmware Upgrade key

Everything now will depend on the firmware and phone. If there is a Checksum.ini section in the firmware folder, then the status lines will run - like testing the integrity of the images. If he doesn't, they won't run. You must wait until the check is completed and the program goes into standby mode.

One caveat - often Checksum.ini contains inaccurate information about the volume of images. In this case, after running the check, an error window may appear (we haven’t flashed and connected the phone yet - right?) In this case, if you are sure that everything was downloaded correctly, and the unpacking of the archive by the archiver went without errors, you can close the flasher. On the computer, use the file manager to go to the folder with the firmware, delete the Checksum.ini file and start over steps from the 10th.

If everything is in order, then you can skip this paragraph.

Pay attention to the screen, you selected the scatter and pressed the Firmware Upgrade button - everything is correct, but it showed an error. And it seemed because the flash driver for some reason could not automatically load the FAC partition - there is no mark and there is no path to the image. It's okay, click OK in the message, and then look at the screen: double-click on the selected image (on the one that is unmarked). The explorer will open for you (the folder with the firmware image - that is, Target_bin)

Make two mouse clicks on the missing image - with that name, remember the list - on which there was no check mark. Be careful - select exactly the same name, because if you make a mistake, a brick will appear. When everything is done exactly - look at the screen - all the checkmarks will be in place.

Click - Firmware Upgrage and flash your smartphone. OFF connect your phone to your computer via USB. The firmware will start automatically. Wait for the process to finish (this may take a long time).

At the end of the firmware, you will see the following window:

How to flash a lenovo p780 smartphone, you will learn from this article. We will discuss the installation of official and custom images, as well as details that are important to consider when flashing Lenovo p780. The process is not safe for the device, so we recommend that you carefully read the instructions, as well as additional materials on the links.

All responsibility and consequences lie solely with the owner of the smartphone. Do not flash the phone if you do not have experience, understanding and confidence.

General instructions for a visual understanding of how the firmware is installed. When installing modifications, be sure to check additional features of the firmware with the authors of the mod or users who successfully installed the mod.

Distinctive features of lenovo p780 smartphones

The p780 model was produced in two variations - China and Europe. Smartphones are visually the same, but differ in hardware. Therefore, before flashing, it is important to clarify for which region your smartphone was released.

Since the phone was produced for China and Europe, 2 types of firmware are available respectively - Chinese (CN) and European (ROW). The program will write any of the two types of firmware. At the same time, installing the CN type on a European smartphone or vice versa will lead to the failure of 3G operation at a frequency of 900 MHz. In this case, you need to change the modem.

Also, if CN firmware is installed on the phone, then the modifications must be installed assembled on CN. If you have ROW firmware, then modifications to ROW and nothing else. Usually, the description for the firmware indicates which type the assembly is based on - CN or ROW.

Even in both types of firmware, partitions in memory are marked differently. Because of this, the incompatibility of both firmware. In the ROW version, the memory is combined, while in the CN it is divided into two sections, which is not very convenient.

Important! In Chinese devices released in 2014, before flashing, you need to replace the file " preloader", And delete the checksum file, if any. Otherwise, get a brick. Pre-create a complete backup firmware and .

Also on smartphones of 2014, the main camera does not work on Android 4.2. If this is critical for you, install Android 4.4.

How to install firmware via Flash Tool

Important! This method intended for installation official firmware, or modifications intended for installation through Flash Tool. Also, the program will allow you to change the markup from CN to ROW or vice versa, and also switch to Android 4.2 from 4.4.

Before flashing, prepare a computer - USB drivers, drivers for ADB, flash driver. Make a backup of the firmware and NVRAM.

Action algorithm:

  1. Click on the "Scatter-loading" button, where select the Scatter file inside the firmware.
  2. Check option DA DL All With Check Sum, otherwise get a brick.
  3. Click on the Firmware-Upgrade button.
  4. Connect the switched off smartphone.
  5. The progress bar will start filling up.
  6. When a green circle appears in a separate window, turn off your smartphone, the firmware has been successfully completed.

Important! For Chinese versions after 2014, before flashing, you need to replace the " preloader", And delete the checksum file, if any. Otherwise, get a brick.

Devices manufactured in 2013 and 2014 are flashed in the same way (universal preloader).

This is the firmware port VIBEUI 2.0 1507 7.91.1 DEV from Vibe Developer Team to ROW/ROW+ markup.

The idea is to get rid of the internal fat partition and let the system use all the memory for applications, and this is best done on a European layout that has an emulated internal map memory in /data/media.

ROW + markup enlarged boot and recovery partitions (16MB each), and system (1GB). there is support for exfat for memory cards, exfat + ntfs + ext4 for otg. The recovery in the kit also understands exfat.

1) At the first boot, the names are mixed up in places internal memory and SD.

In the settings, switch the default memory to SD and everything will be as it should.

2) The default memory is always SD. That is, the application cache will be on the memory card.

3) Internal memory now lives in /data/media. If you want to save the contents of the internal memory, save it somewhere before flashing, and then restore it.

4) To synchronize the calendar with Google, install Google Calendar

* ROW+ V6 (/system=896Mb)

* Updated firmware database (prerelease VDT) (LED works, T9, etc. according to the list)
- the camera is replaced with a standard lenovo
- removed antivirus, browser, and something else, in my opinion, superfluous
+ added applications: Nova Launcher, ButtonSavior, BetterBatteryStats, Battery Mix, Swiftkey, Terminal, Calculator++, root explorer, TeslaUnread, Titanium Backup, TricksterMOD, Flashplayer, True Dialer (everything through the vendor, if not deleted in a regular way).
*maybe something else, I don't remember


You can not then restore backups / data of others firmware through recovery!
