[Q] Lenovo K920pro - Flash Chinese version to Google Version

Hi.
I work in China ow and then and i bought my self a Lenovo K920 yesterday. A GREAT phone but sadly the it does not have any Google programs/system but just a similar Chinese system which i know nothing about. I have found some ROMs out there but on some forum people warns about flashing the Chinese K920pro as it will brick.
Any one here who could tell me how to proceed.... Thanks

There's a video showing how to unlock the developer option in settings and the switch to Google UI is inside the Developer Option. Looks quite awesome, im gonna own this phone later.

Yes, i read about this too..... I have the Developer Option available already (a few taps on the version number) but no Google UI option there, just 3 options to chose from. Or do you know how to get more options?

I did a try a russian "2014-10-14--10-16-45 K920_ROW_S126_140825.7z" with their "twrp_2.8.0.1_r​ecovery_K920Pr​o.7z" file but it "killed" my phone....
I can still access the Lenovo Re ovey and the root menu though.. But the operating system just hangs at the Chinese 4G logo.....
Im not able to restart the TWRP again. I start to dislike this odd phone now after spending 30-40 hours to try to get google play, gmail etc to work.. I should have bought a HTC or Samsung instead..

You shouldn't do that at the early release of the phone. Even any phone. You need to wait for the official rom release. How about you try fastboot and flash the twrp/cwm recovery. From the recovery use sideload to reflash the stock rom. Keep in mind that you should wait for a review or someone who actually successfully flash the custom roms/non-official rom. Except root, theres a number of successful root.

I know but i was desperate to get Google to work... Bricked or Chines system is same same for me...
Fastboot and TWRP cant find any device. Factory reset or wipe did not help either. Can access boot menu and Lenovo recovery, but need a recovery file first, and then we have problem with that i cant access the phones internal storage.... And this crap has no SD-memory either...
$700 down the drain for sure... Still have to buy a new phone though, and im still in China... Have to fly to HK to get a new phone... This is going to be expensive.

Thats what happen when you flash the unofficial rom. You know the risk. Make sure you have installed fastboot driver and adb driver. Im sure you can reflash the rom after you able to enter fastboot

Drivers are okay and have worked before. But now when running ABD Devices command, it show "? unautorized" so i get stuck there.

I SOLVED IT....... Except that the both SIM-card shows a red X.. but everything else seems, camera, GPS, WiFi to work AND it has GOODLE PLAY etc now.. Anyone know how to make the phone to work again?
I have tried ABD, Fastboot, TWRP, MiFlash, QPST, QMSCT_DL_EMMC_TOOL but nothing worked except following this instruction
I used the files in the Bin-folder of K920_ROW_S126_140825_user_1408251128 rom

I've tried everything - someone please help

The Core Prime will not boot into recovery, or safe mode, or to the home screen. The only way to sometimes get it into download mode is leave it plugged into the wall charger for a couple minutes, then it will SOMETIMES go into download mode to charge. Holding down every combination of keys does not work, please don't suggest holding down keys.
All I ever see is a mmc confirmation fail movinand checksum confirmation fail error no matter what I try. I never see the Samsung intro, boot intro, or tracfone intro anymore, just a black screen that leads to that error message in red letters.
Regardless of which computer or cable I use, Windows never sees the phone. Doesn't try to install the drivers, doesn't make a sound that something was plugged in, nothing shows up in device manager, nothing (even in download mode)
I called 800 Samsung (4 times asking the same thing to different people to make sure I didn't just get helped by a noob over the phone). I went and talked to the Samsung guys inside worst buy (didn't do anything except informing me there is a Samsung store in LA). I called the Samsung store in LA and talked to a technician and the technician supervisor (I could drive there if their answer wasn't factory reset)
But EVERYONE from Samsung is saying all that can be done is factory reset.
I do not need a factory reset. I need my data.
I have posted numerous threads, and even though there was good advice given, none of it worked.
All I did before this error was try to update Google maps. The phone has never been backed up/rooted/nothing its stock.
At this point, I'm willing to negotiate paying someone to get my data back.
Someone please help.

Sorry To Hear that this is really a big problem but every thing has a solution ..
As you say the windows doesn't read the device and so as Odin try http://tinyurl.com/Heimdall-oa on Linux (don't use virtual machine )
OK if Heimdall read the device flash stock firmware (same version) if the device open congratulations
else flash custom recovery (you can find one in cyanogen discussion) and launch aroma file manager pull out your data so you're safe to reset ?? hope to be helped you .

I will post my results here as soon as I try

If your phone is still stuck, flash TWRP (google it if you don't know it) for s820l. After TWRP is installed backup your data to your Internal or External Storage. Once the backup is complete factory reset (I highly suggest bakcking up to an SD card) if it still only boots to this screen try flashing the Stock ROM.
If your phone is messed up after the factory reset, i suggest SD card for files and everything if your computer has an SD adapter and reader you won't need to turn the device on. Hopefully this fixes it for you.
P.S. By no means do I know exactly what I'm doing, I flashed the wrong TWRP for mine and only got a download screen. This is the method i used to fix it. Also i am not allowed to post links or I would. so google sm-s820l custom recovery and to get a Stock ROM. Above the page for it should be a bunch of tabs that look like this " Android Area 51 > Forum > Straight Talk/Net10 > Samsung Phones > Samsung Galaxy Core Prime > Recovery Releases" Click on Samsung GCP and then your all set. Hope this helps.

True so if it's not the SM-S820L just input your model number instead of the one I posted that was my bad I assumed TracFone. Also don't think just because the phone is the same they will all work if you do use the wrong TWRP or ROM because the model is different it will brick your device. Again it was my mistake but overall I hope this helps.

Never mind i just wanted to share info. + mine reply was before twrp or cwm being ported to core prime ,and at this time no custom roms for 360* Models

Is TWRP ported to other versions of this phone? It seems like it is atleast the VE one has it and my TracFone version does I'm sure most of the others ones do and you also do not need a Custom ROM just a stock one which is probably floating around out there somewhere. For the OPs phone which if the model was posted this would be a billion times easier. So Mr. OP please post your model for us to help if your issue is still happening.

Flash magisk via TWRP.

Hi.
I think my problem is unusual.
I try to install TWRP and/or root my device.
I red a few instructions in german and english.
And still nothing.
Details.
1. I have the compilation: from 2016.08.10.
2. Updater says I have new soft. I can download it 100 times. It says "downloading", then "installing" and "rebooting" but in the end nothing changes: still the same rom, still I can download and install this new soft (from 2017.1.12, 927,13 MB).
3. I can open the recovery mode. This is impossible for this device. Power+UP, Power+DOWN = doesn't matter. I see something like bootloop, but after 10-20 seconds the system is rebooting normally. No recovery.
3A. I didn't find an extra settings in "Options" which give more possibilities during turning off (for example: "restart in recovery").
As You see I can't make the backup (nesessary for me) that is why I didn't try "factory reset".
4. Instructions from Internet didn't work:
a) "MT65xx USB VCOM DRIVERS" installs some drivers but I don't have "Ports (COM&LPT) for Windows 10,
b) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": no scatter file, don't know how to make it, the file from Internet didn't help,
c) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": I can't tick "recovery" and any other option,
d) "Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3": it doesn't show any informations about the device.
As You see I can nothing with my P9000.
Do You have any ideas?

As @levone1 mentioned use Flashtool to downgrade, it doesn't need root or unlocked bootloader.
But with your problems I would start with resetting phone to factory settings. I have non of those problem and battery usage is around two days.

Main point of rooting is full control, (ads, security, functions, appearance, etc.). If you're happy with how it is, leave it alone. If there's things you wish were different, you might need root to change it.

Hi, I'm looking for some help for my Phone;
Since I've updated to Oreo the battery performance got worst. Before I was able to have almost two days usage, but now I can't use it more the one day according with the normal use. In addiction it was never been hot during the usage before, today while I was watching some video on chrome the smartphone became so hot on the back. I've already tried to fix with a couple of factory reset but nothing happend.
Any advice?
May I downgrade to Nougat?

After oreo update I downgraded to marshamallow 6.0.1 because I was very disappointed with battery life, overall speed and performance. Also xperia themes used to work better. In oreo battery life is 1 day. In mm 2-3 days. RAM free in oreo is 800-900 MB. In MM 1.6-1.7 GB. I'm using service exchange unit, not the customised one. And thats the best rom for me, available via xperifirm in flashtool
??

Thanks for your reply; due to I'm not at all aware on modding, I looked for some guide/tutorial online without success.
I have an Xperia X Compact no rooted, No Brand, Sim free and still one year italian warranty, with build num 34.4.A.2.70.
So how may I downgrade to Nougat with XperiFirm Tool?
Do you have any tested tutorial/guide I can follow?

I hope that will help anyone who wants downgrade to nougat from oreo without modding or voiding warranty

Huawei P9 lite not starting

Hi, this is my first post here so Hello everyone!
I tried to root P9 lite using below steps:
1. Get unlock code from DC-unlocker.
2. "fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXX..."
3. Phone was reset to factory default sow raw Android 7 was installed.
4. "fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-eva.img" was not working (unknown or forbidden command, don't remember exact message)
5. fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-eva.img
6. After restart with recovery mode still Marshmallow recovery was running so I assumed flash failed.
7. I tried several time put other versions (twrp-3.0.2-0-eva and twrp-3.1.0-0-eva) but if I remember well last one was again installing twrp-3.1.1-0-eva again.
8. As that didn't helped I decided to give up and restore phone to previous state so locked bootloader using SRKToolHuawei-STABLE-V1.3-20160619
9. System restarted and restored to factory default and after running I saw message informing that password is needed to unlock mass storage (or mass memory). There was no onscreen keyboard so no possibility to type anything.
10. Restarted in recovery mode (volume up + power) and tried to recover system from Marshmallow recovery option (using WiFi) but it didn't helped.
11. During next restart I accidentally hold both volume up, down with power so phone tried probably to install system from SSD, but as there was no UPDATE.APP it just stopped at 5%. I left it as it is and after some time (around 5min) phone restarted.
12. Now after restart I see only info that "Your device is booting now...". All key combinations are causing phone restart and same message.
Please advise if there is anything what I can do now.
Will appreciate any help.

After discharging the battery phone started responding properly.
With connected USB cable, volume down and power buttons fastboot&rescue mode is working.
Phone unlocked
FRP unlocked
There is still EMUI recovery in place.
So looks like recovery partition was not replaced and bootloader was not locked again.
I can't tell what is in bootloader now.
System is cleared and can't reinstall it using Marshmallow recovery as it is probably end of maintenance.
My goal is to recover system now and I don't want to root it anymore.
How should I proceed?

Hello,
it seemed that android 7 was your latest working OS.
Can you confirm it ?
If yes what was you complete firmware ?
(example: VNS-L31C432B418/VNS-L21C185B392, etc...)
note: 'EVA' stuff is for P9 variant, not P9 lite..
that's why you f***ed your phone...

Thank you Dadditz for your reply.

It was 7 installed there for sure. And this is VNZ-L21.
Probably latest possible firmware version but can't be sure about this.
Can it be somehow checked now (guess not but not losing hope )?

I took TWRP from here: twrp.me/huawei/huaweip9.html
When I look at devices list there is not P9 lite here: twrp.me/Devices/Huawei/
Which one should I use then?
P.S. sorry for no links or pictures but as new here I can't add them for now.
EDIT: I found TWRP in SRKToolHuawei-STABLE-V1.3-20160619\recovery\p9\p9.zip\twrpp9mm.img.
Guess I should load this one.
What do you think?

I don't think firmware can be checked now...
Firmware may depend on where you live...
If you live in Europe it can be a branded one
(ex. vodafone: VNS-L21C02B345/6) or unbranded one(VNS-L21C432B505/6).
You cannot flash one of them if you have the other one.
You have to flash an OEMinfo file...
Anyhow you may try a factory reset first and let's hope it will restore the device.
Boot your phone with vol+and power till the e-recovery appear,
do the reset and report back how it went.
P.S.: P9 lite doesn't have an OFFICIAL TWRP.
Available unofficial versions can be founded searching into P9 lite XDA threads.
P.S.2 : A LITTLE SARCASM...
When you tinker with the phone you're not cooking
a plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce.
As you can see bricks are beyond the corner... and not always they can be solved...
Generally it is always better to ask before do, specially
if you don't know what you're doing ... but ... yes,
phone is yours and you can do anything you want...

I don't have such option in Huawei eRecovery, only 3 below:
Download latest version and recovery
Reboot
Shutdown
When I used first option and connected trough WiFi I got error "Getting package info failed".
I tried that several times previous days but today this phone again surprised me.
After over 24 hours with discharged battery it became even more responsive (or maybe I just treated it different today).
Today I tried Huawei eRecovery again, it tried to download latest version trough WiFi and "Getting package info failed".
After restart I saw recovery wizard.
Went trough it and I got 7.0 working.
There was no screen keyboard but after recovering backup from HiSuite keyboard is was installed.
I'm also missing some other default android applications like file explorer, mirror, voice recorder, calc.
I'm wondering if it wasn't corrupted during my activities (eg "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-eva.img").

I fully agree with you.
I was searching for many instruction how to do it properly and my mistake was that I stopped fallowing them at point where I tried to installed manually TWRP.
My general conclusion is that even if system was recovered I'm not sure if everything will be ok.
I was totally surprised how my phone reacted during last days so still everything may happen.
I see also some corruption in restored system as some apps are missing.
Any advise how this could be cleaned?
Maybe I should install this system again from some trusted package like from below topic?
forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/huawei-p9-lite-firmware-compilations-t3517124
What about unlocked bootloader? Should I leave it with annoying screen during phone startup or lock again?

No, this recovery isn't for nougat (android 7) version.
If you want, you can flash the one you find into HassanMirza01 TWRP thread.
Do not use 3.2.1, instead choose the 3.1.1-1 version, it's the most stable one.

Dude,
system can be fully recovered, especially now you're sure about
your latest firmware...
There was a thread with a list of stock apps, but it's been closed
because links are dead...
First thing, eliminate all safeties (fingerprints/pattern/pin)(you can add at the end of process)
You should try to reinstall your current firmware using Firmware Finder app,
download it from the big G store. Use dns/vpn method
and choose VNS-L21C22B383 FULLOTA-MF.
Also all info are inside the app. Using this method
the bootloader will be relocked.
If you wont succeed then i can tell you how to use twrp recovery
providing your stock full firmware.
Cheers

I fallowed instructions and choose first VNS-L21C22B383 FULLOTA-MF from the top (each version appear 2 times on this list).
Tried downloading trough DNS but got below message.
"Due to changes in the data exchange protocol between the Huawei server and the device, this function stopped its correct operation, but still works on older software that allows you to upgrade to one of the latest software if it has not already been done."
I tried with all FullOTA-MF versions on the list and same situation for all.
Because no other option I choose Download from last section (Other) and now I have 3 files on my phone:
update.zip
public/update_data_full_public.zip
VNS-L21_polkomtel_pl/update_full_VNS-L21_polkomtel_pl.zip
Should I install them manually?
If yes then how?
Vol+Vol-Power with those files on SD card or by TWRP?

Dude, sorry if i wrote this.
I'm pretty sure you done everything correct,
but before attempt using the TWRP it's better if you
try again using Firmware Finder this way...
1 - connect to the internet, open the app, accept the disclaimer;
2 - add your complete firmware (add model) - VNS-L21C22B383;
3 - tap on your firmware;
4 - select the one with fullota-mf;
5 - tap check firmware access;
6 - tap check availability, accept disclaimer;
7 - you should have an 'availability of firmware' popup, tap ok;
8 - go back and tap 'get update through dns';
9 - a popup 'alert' you already faced will apper, tap ok;
10 - a new popup 'select dns method' will appear, tap 'auto',
then tap run vpn service and 'accept' the new connection request popup;
11 - you should now have the running vpn service in the notification panel...;
12 - minimize Firmware Finder;
13 - open settings > tap system updater,
you should find the VNS-L21C22B383 update (check multiple times);
14 - tap on it do download and apply the update;
15 - when the download reach 5%, stop the vpn service and continue doing the process...
It's something like THIS VIDEO.
Let me know...

Hi, your directions as well as movie you provided is giving much more details than application itself.

Thank you for all your feedbacks dude.
Yep, it's clear the firmware is completely f***ed...
Tomorrow i will tell you how to use TWRP
and completely restore the device.

@JimiLincoln
You can restore the exact same rom you had on your smartphone ...
(I'm not sure, it seems it's a sort of firmware branded by vodafone)
but if I can afford, if it were you
i would install the European non-brand version (C432),
without bloatware and should also have the most updated security patch.
Is the phone single or dual sim?
Also, let me know if you want to have all stocks or
have the bootloader unlocked for future manipulations ...

You must use a twrp to rebrand your phone.
Download and flash the one i suggested you (3.1.1-1 by HassanMirza01)
When you done, come back for the files and the guide...

TWRP 3.1.1-1 For P9 Lite by HassanMirza01 installed.
I can enter it only by holding Power + Vol Up without USB connected.
When I hold Power + Vol Up with USB connected Huawei eRecovery is launched.
Is it normal?

Yes, normal, you have both
stock and custom recovery now...
Ok, i will post a list of file you have to download:
1 - HuRUpdater04.zip file (will do the job);
2 - L21C432OEMinfo.zip file (dual sim);
THE FIRMWARE:
3 - update.zip ;
4 - update_data_full_public.zip ;
5 - update_full_VNS-L21_hw_eu.zip ;
Let file 3 the same name, rename file 4 from
update_data_full_public TO update_data_public,
rename file 5 from update_full_VNS-L21_hw_eu TO update_all_hw.
Names must mandatory match the ones I wrote to you, otherwise it won't work.
This is the procedure:
Use your PC, make a folder and rename it L21C432B506.
Copy files 3-4-5 (renamed) and HuRUpdater04.zip file into that folder.
(if you want you can keep the TWRP copying the .img file into that folder too).
Copy the folder into the SD.
Copy the OEMinfo file wherever you want into the SD.
Put the SD into the device...
Reboot into recovery and format DATA
(wipe>advanced wipe>tick data and tap format in the bottom right> type 'yes').
Reboot again recovery and wipe everything except SD
(wipe>advanced wipe>tick everything except sd).
Go in main menu, tap install, find and select OEMinfo file, let it flash...
When finished go in main menu and select REBOOT then Bootloader.
Once booted, connect the phone to your PC and
unlock again the bootloader. (quickly disconnect it from PC)
Device should automatically reboot into the recovery otherwise you can do
holding vol + and power button.
Now tap install, find your L21C432B506 folder,
select (only) HuRUpdater04.zip file and let it flash...
Your device should reboot into the system correctly,
if not (if passes over 15 mins) reboot into the e-recovery and
do a factory reset + wipe cache.
Done !!

Hello Dadditz,
Everything installed and working fine
Only bothering thing is message that device was unlocked and can't be trusted.
I will keep this for now as it may be useful at some point.
Many thanks Dadditz for your great help!!!
I will probably come back to this topic when my wife will have new phone, so I will play more with this P9 lite, customize system and learn more.

Amazing polite guy,
i was very pleased to be able to help you, obviously, for what I know ...
It's not a big deal to have that 'annoying' message at boot.
Re-lock the bootloader is the only way to remove it.
You have more than one method:
Flash a previous version of your current firmware
and use Firmware Finder to update to the latest;
or wait untill a new version of your current firmware comes out
and use Firmware Finder to update to;
or use fastboot commands but it's seriously risky;
Keep it as is..
Cheers dude. :highfive:

i have a similar problem BUT i can't restart my p9 lite in recovery mode. I tried vol+ & power; vol - & power; vol +, vol - & pwer; only power. The result is always the same: "your device as been unlocked and can't be trusted....... Your device is booting now....". I try also to wait to descharge battery. After descharging, when i connect usb cable to recharge, the smartphone wake on with the same message..... Someone can help me?
