Hi everyone,
This is my first post/question on this awesome community. I have a lenovo p780 8gb, the phone was working absolutely fine until yesterday. Now I am not getting any signal coverage whether it be 2g or 3g, I didn't do anything to the phone, no root, no physical damage etc. I tried searching for a solution but all effort in vain. I checked with different sim cards, tried the factory reset but the signal never came. I also tried to upgrade the firmware but after downloading the update data of 11gb the phone entered recovery mode and the update failed. I will post the complete error message if any one asks. Please help, it's very very annoying. :crying::crying::crying:
thanks

Hi. You must tell us more about your phone. Like: are you in custom ROM? Your ROM is ROW or Chinese? Do you have Custom Recovery or Stock? Have you moved in anorher region then where you tested the phone, because the modem would not recognize the network type?
Ohh... And 11gb of update for your phone does not exist. Max 1gb in custom ROMS.

Hi thank you so much for replying, As to answer your question everything is stock, the rom, recovery etc. My rom is ROW. I didn't change my region, the signals just went missing without any reason. I am sorry about writing 11gb update I wanted to write 11mb. I havent rooted my phone and havent tinkered with it in any way. The phone is 3 months old. Also the phone is showing a system update of 11mb but when I download it and enter into recovery to apply it the installation aborts. I really have no idea what is happening. It's really frustrating. If you have any questions please let me know.
thanks

This is realy strange indeed. I think your phone is in warranty time? Iff your phone is not rooted we cannot do mutch! Maybe you should go to a local service store.
Yeah it is, if you have any kind of solution then I can root my phone. I tried to install a different modem but the installation aborts without giving any kind of error message.

Yes. Because your phone doe not have a custom recovery.
To root your phone you can use Framaroot but you are going to lose your warranty and this is not good.
After that you can install a custom recovery with mobileuncle tools and then you can patch a new modem.
OK , can you share a link about how to install custom recovery in lenovo p780, and a list of few modems. It will be really nice of you. Thanks

My question is while installing a new modem do we have to copy only the modem file or the whole. Zip package which includes firmware, mddb etc?

This zip file must be installed from custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.
Iff you doit manualy, must copy the modem files and the set permissions! after that reboot the phone.

I tried this: http://lenovo-forums.ru/Files/OS/A800/A800_RUS_S107.ZIP
It is stable, have ROOT possibility, English and Russian language. In Chinese forums i saw the new one, but i cant download it.
cacofonix3 said:

No ,i have`nt try any customize ROM.I just Rooted my phone with SuperOneClick.
If anyone is interested, on cacofonix3's request I have build an *experimental* and *untested* recovery and ROM for the A800 based on the P700i_ROW_S107
(the S107 hints it is probably pretty much the same as the Russian one mentioned above)
Warning:
- I do not have this phone, so I am not sure if it is a working ROM, I cannot test myself. It either works, or it does not.
- If you never done flashing before, don't try this, leave it to the experienced people to test first.
- Make sure you have the original ROM to go back to, like this one.
- Never flash preloader / uboot / mbr / ebr
- A800 has different partition table. Never use a scatter file for a different ROM.
Advise:
- First flash the recovery using the v3.1238 flash tool, and see if that works
- Put the ROM on the SD card
- Next boot into recovery and use that to flash the ROM.
- Also advised to wipe cache and data after flashing
- I do not have this phone, so I am not sure if it is a working ROM, I cannot test myself
Info:
The ROM is essentially the one described here, but with a800 kernel/modules/firmware and also a v0.01 marker to clearly indicate 'beta'.
The A800 is pretty similar as the P700i, except higher resolution, one button less, uses the MT6577T rather than MT6577, and I suspect uses the MT6628 rather than MT6620 radio subdie. As a result, when flashing this ROM, one of the following may happen:
- It does not work at all : solution flash factory ROM again
- GSM may not work : solution flash factory ROM again. OR: The GPS may work and also pick up Galileo...
- GPS/Wifi/BT may not work : we may work around this by swapping out some libraries. Or: The GPS may work and also pick up Galileo...
- Icons may appear smaller : should be OK, as it is a bigger schreen.
- 4th button is missing: Use buttonsavior as workaround for the recent apps button.
ROM and recovery can be downloaded here. Flash tool and USB driver from here
Ok, given that i receive no feedback, neither positive nor negative, but it is a rather untested and experimental ROM, I removed the download again.

Getting SP flash tool error 8038.
You will have to show some screen shots to show exactly what you are doing, and where you get the error. Also, which version of the flash tool are you using.
Hey cybermaus,
I accidentally uninstalled all of apk in the internal storage of this phone, using wondershare mobile go, how can i reflash everything to stock settings? i can't install the settings.apk =(

hey i wanna know how did you flash it ? cause there is no install from zip card in the recovery
Not sure what you mean with 'flash tool drivers': the VCOM drivers are the ones you need. Also I know nothing about missing DLL.
hey thanks cybermaus i did it! :laugh: just followed your blog, but the rom is so slow the i dowloaded the A800_RUS_S107, what other roms can i use?
I cant reinstall the official ROM, so then ROOT and then install cybermaus' ROM.
The factory ROM is dead. I can't see the apps, anything, only system settings. When I made a factory reset it says the following:
Factory Mode
Full Test
Item Test
Test Report
Clear eMMC

Hopefully, you wonderfully knowledgeable people can help with this one!
I recently rooted my Galaxy S3 with no problems and decided to install a Custom ROM, (Omni version 4.4.2). Followed the instructions on a page that the forum won't allow me to post a link of and got to the point of installing the new ROM. It then came up with "Installation Aborted" and "Status 7".
I then found an explanation of how to sort out the problem of Status 7, at which point I attempted to put the edited version back onto my phone, only to realise that my computer and phone are no longer mounted and I cannot access the SD Card. I've tried disconnecting and re-connecting with no joy, because I'm stuck in ClockWorkMod it won't show up on my PC.
Now here's the moronic part... I completely missed the big bold lettering of "Before you install a custom ROM, PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP ROM!!!", so I cannot restore to another point.
Any suggestions and feel free to assume I'm a complete idiot when describing any fixes.

Download another stock rom from sammobile switch phone off and flash it with odin then factory reset Done..
You can then start again... By the way status 7 is usually caused by wrong recovery or old recovery.
Use Odin install latest original firmware then root then install latest CWM to get rid of status 7 error

You sir, are a gent. Thank you kindly. :good:
Thought we'd got the problem sorted but it seems to not like ArchiDroid, still waiting on the stock ROM to download as there are server problems.
Out of interest, would a KitKat recovery work on a 4.3 ROM?

We're all sorted, it was a 4.0.4 CWM installed with a 4.3 ROM. Upgraded CWM and we're good to go! I don't think he's brave enough to attempt a KitKat install after 6 hours of being stuck in CWM, haha.
Thanks again to all that posted. :victory:
As Kalavere says, all sorted! Looks like the key to Custom ROMS is make sure you have the latest CWM!
Thank you all for your help!
yeah this has occured with me when i rooted my s3
i've tried to install a rom but then and totally out of the blue it told me that installation aborted so i became very disappointed and didn't know what to do cuz i've already followed the instructions written in the site

Hi. Your phone is rooted? Any custom recovery like TWRP?
What have you done to the phone?
Did you moved to another region?
By the way... in what country are you in now?
So many variabiles?
Try and dial *#06# and tell me if you see the IMEI's.... Or invalid. This is a precious information.

When dialing *#06#, I can see 2 IMEI's in my phone.
The issue started when I was using the phone in the same reason, Mumbai in India, however now I have moved to another.
The phone is not rooted neither any custom recovery tried.
As far as I can guess, the problem started when I updated phone android version from Jelly Bean to Kitkat however I am not sure.
Should I try downgrading android version of the phone. Please mention how to do that. What else should I try.
Thanks in advance,

Hi.
Ok if you see your phones IMEI is good.
Lets start with first steps:
1. Beacuse this is your last official update to your phone and is quite old you could root your phone.
2. Rooting tutorial with tools and istall TWRP here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605 . Use TWRP 2.8.4.0 REV2 ROW if you have ROW version of your phone.
3. Read first act later.
4. After rooting and TWRP install, go to TWRP and do a full backup. NOT OPTIONAL. Save backup to an SD Card.
5. Now go to this post and download all Europa Modems: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2ORIgaV4iacaFFaM2pnX1A2Rnc
6. Putt all those modems on a folder called Modems.
7. Reboot to TWRP. For this part go to Magazin Play and install Reboot Recovery. Give root rights and reboot in to the recovery.
8. After you are in TWRP go to Install option, browse for your Modem folder, select one modem and swipe to install.
9. After install do not wipe to factory reset. Dont need this factory reset in this tutorial.
10. After install reboot your phone in to system and wait for the signal to appear. Iff by any chance is not working , the install of the modem procedure must be repeted, till one of those modems works.
11. Do not hurry up. Let the phone to find the signal for a minute or two. First time the signal will appear more slow.
12. Good Luck.
I have the same problem. However, my phone doesn't detect SD either, so I can't do the procedure described above. Everything was OK, util I did factory reset. I can also see my IMEI.

Great thread! Flashed an old P780 4GB CH late 2014 with the AOSP ROM the other day and the GiffGaff SIM in it stopped getting a signal. Just flashed Modem_P780_KK_V.103.zip from the Modem Europa folder and now both the GiffGaff and Vectone SIM cards are working perfectly once again.

Hello, I really need your help because i think its a hardware problem but i must have your confirmation.

-- im not able to copy the whole file to install from the internal storage (its start but do not finish and the paste window show like 53% i see the file but i cant use it) its just like i have a problem with the internal data?
can someone help me with the whole procedure please ?
can at least make the status binary to official so i can use the warranty to fixe it ?
if you need more informations please ask me and thanks for your help

Hello guys.
I'm fighting against a ZTE a460 by two days. Please help me!
I have tried a lot of ways to root this phone so I can remove bloatware by the carrier. The only app that root it was iRoot.
After the rooting the phone now shows ads even in the set up screen! Even when I did run TWRP and did the factory reset, when I enter android and set wifi the phone starts to show ads.
The app that show the ads is called SMSTool. I can use an antivirus to remove it from the phone, but I can't clean the ROM.
I am a "advanced user" so this is not a problem for me, but this phone will not stay with me. I will give it to a relative in some months.
Can I clean the ROM? I've read a lot about flashing a new ROM but people are saying that they can't use SIM functions after flashing, so the phone became a game, not a phone. If a root access can infect, a root access can clean, right?
How can I do that? Please! Help!!!

I don't have a trusted source of original or brazilian rom.
I've searched a lot, but always when changing the rom people are suffering with loss function of SIM card .
I'm afraid to try one of them and lose the phone. I'm using it normally now but, if I need to wipe all data, the virus will come again.
Besides this option, there is another?
