[Q] Root Lenovo P780_8GB instructions for Dummies - Lenovo P780

Hi Friends,
I have no idea of rooting and installing custom ROM P780. So after googling, I tried Framaroot 1.91 to get ROOT access for apps.
I used ROM Manager to install CUSTOM ROM via sdcard(both phone and external card).
But I am unable to install ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/slx-rom-lenovo-p780-t2722775 .
Whenever I try to install I get Installation Aborted message in recovery mode. I tried more than 6 times.
Can any guys help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks in Advance ...

Hello,
To install two things are needed
1 rooted phone - u have done that
2 custom recovery to install from - u have missed that .
U have done half work only. First of all install custom recovery in your phone and then download zip file of a custom ROM to ur SD card and install that ROM from custom recovery...

Use SP Flashtool for install the CWM into A50 then after put the JetMOD.zip file into the root of your SD Card, and boot the phone into recovery mode, Wipe Data, wipe Dalvik Cache and then browse your zip file and its done
SP Flashtool and CWM recovery.IMG file is available on net downlaod it and Do IT.

Try porting but *NO* guarantee will work :/

[Q] how do I install a recovery on D9503?

Hello everyone,
I updated to the latest version 6.0.1. 572
I also unlocked the Bootloader and rooted with King root (Temporary root)
But what I can't boot to the stock recovery, and whenever I try to, it automatically boots to system
And I tried to install twrp, I ended up getting it soft bricked and I had to reinstall lastest firmware
So, is there any way I can install a custom recovery?
Thanks
Do not use standalone recoveries at the moment. Use ROMs that has recovery else you'l end up in bootloop.
For now, rcovery fix is an issue with 6.0.1. So i suggest you simply stick with a ROM like Existenz MM V1 or any other, by downgrading and installing recovery with root AND then flashing 6.0.1(with recovery & root). That way you can have recovery.
I too am waiting for a recovery fix so just managing without recovery for now as non of the fixes are working for me.
Good Luck buddy!

Use a custom kernel.

Well, thanks for the help, downgraded to 5.1.1 (or should I downgrade to something more older?)
But I need help to choose a custom kernel (I know how to flash kernels using fastboot ) can you suggest me a kernel that has a custom recovery
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
5.1.1 is fine as you can root it. Just install Recovery( nuts dual recovery/ choose your version carefully & Follow instructions). if you'r going to upgrade to 6.0.1, i would suggest this kernel -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2965480.
Just follow the instructions carefully and you'l be fine.
BTW, if you only want recovery, you can easily install in 5.1.1 after geting it rooted using kingroot.

Hi
I do not know about korean device.
But on i9100 international you have to root your device, then For installing cm13 for instance you have to repartition first and install twrp 3.x.x and cm13 and gapps which you do by flashing zip-files in recovery (Not with odin).
You should search for the developer @CNBLACK who made 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 roms for i9100 and for korean devices aswell (named 250 or similar)‘

On i9100 int. you can flash philz cwm6 stockkernel.zip which has root by using stock-recovery because it is a zip-file (no need for odin)
And If you flash isorec twrp it will not show up If are not on an isorec-kernel.
So after installing philz use again recovery to install latest latest cm11 20161119 by @zjq985062714 i9100.zip (has isorec kernel) and isorec twrp 3.0.2-1.zip by @the.gangster.
Again this works without odin just using recoveries.
Then you can do repartitioning and flashing cm13 of others.
This is How i do it always On my i9100 international.

Hi
Maybe you overlooked it in my Post.
I wrote you can install philz Kernel by using STOCK - RECOVERY. On switched off device press 3 buttons at the same time until stock recovery appears ( Volume up-, power- and home-button).
Then move to "apply update" and choose philz.zip from SD card (of course you have to copy it on
card first).
Reboot System.
Switch off device
Reboot in recovery using 3 buttons and you will have custom recovery to continue.

Hi
This is strange. Philz kernel is well known as a safe kernel which has been used by many people.
Did you look for the correct version for your device ?
I am not sure but it should be PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSD-OXX-4.87-signed.zip (or similar)
Anyway you could try to make a Backup in recovery.
Then i would flash cm11 and twrp which i mentioned before.
In case you flashed wrong kernel flash correct PhilZ kernel or cwm 6.0.4.7
Then flash cm11 and twrp.
Just want to say once more all this works fine On i9100 int. and i do not know if your device is different in any way.
Did you read the threads by @CNBLACK which i recommended?

Okay, I checked this thread.
You must upgrade to Stock JB Firmware.
And If you already to use Stock JB, Check my SGS2 thread (u1skt).

Eureka!!!! i have found the problem and solution!!!
as i've previously said, my phone was rooted using kingoroot. once i have installed philz, it start bugging. So i though myself maybe there was a conflict between superuser by kingoroot and superuser by philz. i tried to unistall kingoroot but i was unable tu unistall superuser (don't really know why). nevetheless i have disabled the kingoroot superuser in application manager and the problem just disappeared. now my phone is working perfectly. i have repartitionned it in 6Gb internal and 7Gb USB. i'm ready for the next step.

Glad your device is working again.
Please keep in mind that (on i9100) you have to increase the SYSTEM partition to 1 GB or more If you want to flash any cm13 or cm14 rom.
As far as i can see you increased only data (internal) partition.

Hi again
My opinion is: once the device is converted to i9100 it should behave like one.
Maybe anybody can confirm this.
If it were my device i would make a
- backup in recovery (important!)
Then i would have a go and make
- clean flash of latest cm11 + gapps + twrp 3 ( i think i mentioned the Files before).
If it works - fine! (and can think about flashing other roms).
If it does'nt work: restore the backup from recovery .
But it is your device and your decision.

Hi
cm11 should not make any trouble at all.
I do not know why this message turned up.
Please tell me what exact Recovery you used for flashing (e.g. philz cwm 6.0.4.7) and which cm 11 you flashed.
Maybe the Recovery should be updated to latest.
Still I wish somebody would confirm that your korean converted device can be treated as an i9100.
