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_recovery_K920Pro.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

Hello all,
At this moment, my phone says i have no OS :/
I am trying to recover my phone. ZE551KL.
in twrp i am trying to install the firmware it needs. but it keeps telling me
PLEASE USE THE RIGHT SKU FOR UPDATING...
Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/UL-Z00T-WW-1.17.40.1531-USER.ZIP'

Hey bud! Welcome to the **** show.
Okay so I am currently trying to debug this myself and have help and am struggling like no other!!!
However what I can say is that CM13 from before June 5th might work. Aside from that try to get a img of stock to restore to your phone.

if you have TWRP, go with the rom that is titled "stock rooted deodexed".
When I was having problems with my ZE551kl (not anything like the one you've described), that was the only ROM that worked for me.
The audio out port (earphone port) does not work with that ROM, but otherwise it is FANTASTIC
also, check out this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...ne-2-laser-t3399441/post67336853#post67336853
Could you then update to the next version once that rom was installed?

i did, i dunno if that will fix the port.
Just got this phone in yesterday as a replacement for a water damaged LG G3. Thought to myself that I was pretty good at rooting, flashing etc. so I decided that would be the first thing I would do. Long story short, I rooted the phone just fine and even flashed the non-bloatware-filled rom available with little problem. Then I tried to flash xposed with flashfire and, well, things didn't go so smoothly. Ended up getting stuck on the AT&T splash screen after every reboot. To attempt a fix for this I thought I would just use Odin to flash stock, what I thought was stock but was really 930UUEU, once again. I am now realizing that I flashed the wrong firmware and am currently trying to flash G930AAT once more but keep getting "FAIL! Model dismatch fail" in Odin.
Open to any suggestions at this point as I am at a loss. I've tried using a different version of Odin, 3.12.3, but to no avail have not been able to get it right. Let me know if you need any more information as to help me with this problem. Thanks in advance!
You're probably flashing an older firmware than what's on phone? Which verison are you trying to flash?

Currently the phone boots straight into recovery. I get the update droid that fails and am sent to the options where it has me as running G930UUEU2APEH. I am pretty certain that this is the firmware I mistook as stock and half-flashed with odin. Still able to get into download mode so let's hope I can work this out!
Download the U firmware that I posted and flash that. Should flash fine. I've done it several times with the mode Odin from the root thread with zero issues

Alright, looks like I may have run into another problem. I've rooted and flashed xposed properly this time. Kept getting a security warning so I thought it would be okay to uninstall SecurityLogAgent.apk and I am now unable to install apps. This may just be a coincidence and it may be that I have a different problem. May also be important to note that I have to reinput my WiFi password after every reset.

Reflash the U firmware and that will restore the security log agent app. If your rooted you'll get that notification, you'll need to freeze one of the security apps in titanium. As for the WiFi password there is a fix for it in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039/page230.
Also you should probably flash his V15 fixes it will fix multiple things when you root.

I did, it fixed my WiFi issues and being I flashed the debloat version it also got rid of Instagram etc. so I am certain it worked. Could it have something to do with me installing lucky patcher?

Just an update. After some deduction I decided it must be lucky patcher. Uninstalled it, wiped dalvik cache and everything seems to be fine. I am still cautiously optimistic.
I'm no help on the root issues. Root isn't what it used to be so I don't really mess with it anymore.
Hello guys,i was trying to flash LOS and after many tries i hard bricked my phone.At start,screen wasnt turning on and phone vibrated sholtly every 1 sec.I did EDL and then flashed different roms but still phone just vibrates but for a bit longer.When i do EDL it gets recognised by pc.Also when i flash a rom before i try to boot,if i connect it to power the led is blinking.
I dont want to be this guy who opens a thread that has opened many times,but i couldnt figure out a solution whatsoever.Thanks in advance.
Did you try downgrade from pie to oreo? Can you enter fastboot mode?
I bricked my phone too. Nothing worked for me. I hope you have more luck.

I recommend you to read a lot about flashing custom ROMs before trying to do it.
LineageOS has a pretty explicit installing tutorial.
If you can get into fastboot mode there is hope.
Remember that you must have the bootloader unlocked.

Hi everyone, I have rooted Mi A1 (pie), I have a hard brick. but fixed, when flashing Rom with TWRP, my phone cannot receive the partition / 'cache', when root receives the message: error: 28, I need help, thank you very much
Hey there everyone,
I wanted to root my s8 (sm-950f) and when I flashed twrp my phone initially got stuck in Samsung logo. After managing to shut it down I tried to go to recovery mode to wipe everything and perform a factory reset but I can not do it. All that happens is I get to s8 screen and it reads in red on top left of the screen "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" and it keeps resetting itself. I can access download mode but that's it, I can't do anything else. Currently downloading a stock firmware to try and flash it but with the free downloads it's taking its time. Any help appreciated, I really want to unbrick my phone
note: It shows FRP and OEM lock to be off in download mode, i dont even know if i'll even be able to flash a new fw. Do I just have a very expensive brick in my hands now?

On the xda thread for your device there aren't no stock roms uploaded to Android host for fast download so you can flash in Odin and start the process of twrp again or just leave it alone you have a S8 it's good money
