Hi bro, you need to switch base to China ROM (S125, S129, S135) before flashing Vibe ROM if you are on ROW ROM. Directly flash Vibe ROM will cause you end up in a bootloop and possibly corruption of /nvram.
Nevermind, to flash via SP Flash Tool, you will need to press the red button on the bottom top right side and connect the USB cable to begin flashing process.
And by flashing Vibe ROM after repartitioning will cause the partition restore to default too. (2.5GB /data, 1GB /media)
Reply this post if you need assistance.

The one in satanduck thread: P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z is a China based S135 ROM and flashable via SP Flash Tool ROM. After you flash it then you can flash Vibe ROM. Remember do a wipe after flashing the Vibe ROM.

using needrom sites. this is the one working rom needrom site's p780 (update rom). Others did not work.
is it work i change only scatter file of the rom with worked rom scatter.
there's a different version of CWM/TWRP for Chinese base and ROW base ROMs. I think they have different partition layout. Most, if not all, ROMs from needrom requires Chinese base.

For ROW, I use this:
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/1526-recovery-и-root-для-lenovo-ideaphone-p780/
For Chinese based ROMs, I use Mobile Uncle tool to install one. Description is in Chinese though. Be careful if you don't read Chinese and use Mobile Uncle to download, there are several versions for P780, some for ROW some for Chinese ROMs.
But this one seems to be a TWRP for Chinese based ROMs that's in English:
http://dl.vmall.com/c088c04a97
Both can be installed from MobileUncle if they are in the root of your SDCARD.
one quick tip, if you use mobile uncle to flash recovery, after flashing it will ask you if you want to reboot to recovery. don't touch anything at that pop up for about 30s, then press cancel. then you should be good to go. you not it will not be successful.

İt was not work for me friend. recovery mode did not open when flashed with mobil uncle. Only working recovery is offiicial rom's recovery.
i flashed it with mobil uncle. But still cant flash anything with this recovery, or sp flash tool.
Only way to rom installing is Offical rom with sp flash tool. CAnt install custom rom any way.
when you say "did not open" what does it mean?
there are several things that may cause this to go bonkers:
1) wrong recovery image for your ROM, i.e. ROW recovery on Chinese ROM
2) recovery is not downloaded correctly, mobile uncle download may not be complete and you flashed it
3) the wait 30s tip not followed. seems like a bug that it's nit finished flashing but it thinks it has, that's why wait about half minute at the pop up
4) later version of stock ROM it will auto reflash stock recovery at reboot! what I did to avoid this is comment off every thing in /system/etc/install-recovery.sh or you can simply rename this file to something else if you don't have init.d hook in it.

btw, there are some sp flash roms available with already recovery in English and Chinese, would you like a link to this? are you trying to get Chinese ROM with Chinese recovery or ROW ROM with recovery?

Solved!
Problem was about driver. İ installed right p780 driver and sp flash tool driver. After installed both i flashed.
Ty for helps.
English CWM Please
Someone Please Make a Simple Guide With Links To English CWM.
Since this is a Mediatek Processor Based Device.. The Rooting should be quite easy. For Noobs Use the Bin4ry Rooting Tool. Very Easy & it Even Installs SuperSU
BUT I did not find a reliable English Language CWM. Do not want TWRP (Multiple Bad Experiences).
CWM is simple & appears safe. Hence A Humble Request.
Installing a Recovery is Fairly Simple. Install Mobile Uncle Tools AFTER Rooting... Start It & It will ask for Root Rights.. Give it.. Thereafter there is a simple 'Recovery Update' Button. Mobile Uncle Tools English Version is Available in Play Store!
Since Lenovo has launched P780 in India, an English Language Phone is available. Please Provide English CWM & users will have a GREAT Experience.
Yeah, I'm also looking for CWM in English for Chinese ROM. If anybody has a link, I would be very grateful
I have p780 with stock rom 115ROW, so this is not chinese version... How to upgrade to latest ROW rom? After that, how to root phone and install custom recovery for ROW roms? There's Miui on 4pda which is custom row rom I think... Thanks
CWM 6.0.1.5 - english (flash using mobileuncle or sp flashtool)

[Q] Have I hard bricked my phone?

I was flashing Custom ROM on my "Qmobile Noir A900" and ended up corrupting both ROM and recovery.
And my device is now stuck at a boot loop. Recovery mode is just a white screen and can't seem to go into bootloader mode either.
My Question is.. Is my device totally hard bricked or there's still some hope left?
I am new here and not sure if this is the right section. Sorry

Solved these issues too.
First did a cache wipe and factory reset. It solved the storage problem but gave me invalid IMEI notification.
Then did a backup restore from default recovery. (I had made a backup prior to all this )
Solved everything.
Thanks a lot man. You saved the day!

Hey,
Though this thread is old and dead now, but i must thank tunglethanh90 for providing the stock Rom (spflash version) of A900. I was having problem with my A900 and found stock rom on needrom site, flashed it and my cell went in to bootloop. I didn't have SPFlash or MTK backup only CWM backup which was no good. I used this ROM provided by tunglethanh90 and i was successful in making my set alive again. Afterwards, i got the problem of invalid IMEI. For that i installed CWM recovery and restored my cwm stock rom backup that i took and saved ealier. All good now but making my set alive again is due to tunglethanh90. Thank You Sir .... So heads up for any guy having QMobile A900 Rom issue, this is what u need to download, dont dl from needrom as its no go.
Regards.

Dear Stympy,
I tried flashing both the versions (S226 and S228) given in your post. However, neither worked. It always failed in the recovery. Then I tried to flash an OTA S220 which worked (as per my last post). Later there were three official updates shown up in my phone, S226, S227 and S228 (of course, one by one). I just updated them and now I am on S228.
Thanks a lot for all the help!
I will bother you if we get a 5.0 for P780 (8GB).
Till then, :good:

Dear Stympy,
My latest ROM S228 is working well.
However, I am facing a problem in accessing my phone memory. I am attaching snapshot of my storage. When I connect it to laptop, it just shows a Lenovo_Suite which installs a program to share my mobiles capabilities on laptop. My phone memory is not visible from laptop.
What is this emulated folder about? It seems to be a copy of my SD card..but not full. Where is this folder located? Is it eating from my phone memory? Can I delete it?
Please advice!
Thanks!

Hi. Yes you cannot acces the internal memory on the row firmware. I did notice this problem, but was no problem for me because i have sd card. I recomend that you buy one minimum 16 gb class 10.
Do not erase the emulated folder. Seems that system uses that folder.

Thanks! I put the preloader.bin from your link into the S228 directory and removed the "preloader_pradai_row.bin". I still get the message "Unrecognized ROM detected". I guess I have some screwed up ROM, the only ROM I could ever write over it was some older MIUI version (didn't try that many different ROM's though). If you want to have a closer look at my ROM, I can pm you a dl link - it probably would be a waste of time though.
Edit: my phone was made before 03.2014, I am quite certain.
Edit2: Not so certain anymore, because of that ROM date..

No Network error after flashing Vibe 2.0 UI on my Lenovo P780

So, I flashed a ROM by Baralajbi (needrom:http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-p780-4-4-2-vibe-ui-2-0/comment-page-2/#comments) of Vibe 2.0 UI for my Lenovo P780 4GB ROW Kitkat and now I cannot get a netwoek. There is a red cross next to network. Obviously this is a problem of modem so I downloaded some modems for my phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/general/how-modems-t2757923) from there (link given in brackets) and flashed them using recovery (not TWRP or CWP since the rom doesnt have that but the normal Android recovery) and its saying Aborted?!!
Please help! I am new at this and Stympy has helped me quite a lot cuz he suggested the ROMs but how do I fix the no network problem? I love this ROM and want to use it

why dont you flash TWRP or CWM via mobile uncle tool (available on playstore). follow this threade
original recovery will check MD5 and it will abort if verification fails.

happened to me once.. the problem is your IMEI i belive. Dialing *#06# showed my Invalid IMEI.. ( if that is your problem than you can just restore IMEI using "mobile uncle" assuming that you already have root in your phone..) then i need to restore my IMEI.. but that need root and i have few problems rooting in Vibe 2.0 (Doesnt root properly).. so using "SP FLASH TOOL" i flash back my old rom (JB 4.2) .... and i have back my network signal.. then doing all over again to flash back KK rom.

I know.. If its just baseband maybe you can just copy the modem only (make backup of the old modem in system--etc--firmware before replacing. . . I usually name it to modem.bak) using root explorer. . ive flash this rom and everything is working .. Signal is bad nd tried to change modem by the above method.
You can replace your recovery with TWRP that works properly with kitkat. download twrp an flash it using sp flash tool. Just tick recovery and untick everything else.. Double click recovery and replace with twrp recovery image. Select download. Not firmware upgrade... Tick DA DL AL... and flash.. Ive manage to change my recovery...
Here is proper tutorial.. Im not a good explainer.. Hahahhaa

My IMEI is fine!
I just realized that (noob I am) that after installing this Vibe 2.0 ROM, i lost the root priveleges. And then I had problems with SP Flash tool too so couldnt replace the modems and such. Thanks a ton guys!
Although I am too scared to try this ROM again cuz I cant flash it because of drivers not getting detected on my laptop by the SP Flash tool. Can someone upload the rooted version of the rOM or help me in someway? I really liked Vibe 2.0 UI and want it on my phone

Did you wipe your ROM? Bad flash?
Doesn't sound like your bricked. I assume you made a backup of your ROM. All you need to do is boot into your recovery, push your backup to your phone storage. Flash, or flash from your computer. Easy. Lots and lots of guides on XDA. I think all of the le max 2 models are the same device, the name just points to the region.
@sanke1 also put together some stock links :
