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.

Just install the zip, because you are on chinese ROM base already.

Hi.
Look in Development area for your stock firmware.
Flash again with SPFlash Tool.
Go to q&a section/rooting tutorial for kitkat. There is a tutorial for installing TWRP safe.
After all this, safe backup your currently installed system. NOT OPTIONAL.
Now after full backup, ONLY AFTER FULL BACKUP you can install other custom firmware. I recommend you to install latest MIUI.
Hope this helps you.
Good luck.

Well thank you for your reply.
I was about to post some more details, like:
I was able to start recovery mode using p780 image.
some ROMs (i think OTA) tried to install. but it stuck with
warning: No file contexts
and after some time it would abort the installation with status 6.
However, this time i think i messed up
It is now stuck at "ASUS" logo on restart
cannot do factory reset mode also.
On top of that my phone doesnt connect to my laptop. (it cant detect )
I think its dead/brick. if you have further rescue suggestions , please do comment.
Thank you for your support.
Regards

Now seriously... To be sure, you must reflash your stock firmware.
If after reflash the phone still have problems, then you have a hardware problem.

Ok let me start from the beginning:
I rooted my phone because of pokemon go. The phone was too slow and could not run this app effectively.
I rooted p780 using kingroot apk (the one with crown icon). removed unnecessary apps like (security, google play books etc...)
My phone was very happy :good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::laugh: untill...
I wanted to explore more what i can do with root. I uninstalled contact manager (IdeaFriend) bbboooommmm.
Even with Contact+ i was not able to add any new contacts.
This made me to explore more about flash and roms.
I had S226 or S228 OTA and I found this Asus Zenfone 5 ROM.
During recovery i used Asus.....
After Asus installation I realized
No English Notification (Only Russian).
No Camera APP
No Necessary GAPPS...
So I tried to become Hero and wanted to reflash Lenovo. and .....rest you know.
Current condition: I have reflashed Asus. because i am not able to find/install the old lenovo rom or any other rom which can support.
But this is temorarily.
Hence i still need support:
I am able to reboot in recovery but need a proper ROM.
Regards

So... You have recovery, system is messed up,... Hmmm...
Look what i propose....
1. download the latest MIUI from Development/MIUI post
2. Put MIUI zip file on sd card any sdcard and insert it on the phone.
3. Reboot to recovery or start to recovery.
4. Go to wipe, advance wipe. Select all except sdcard and otg and swipe to wipe.
5. After wipe go to rebooy and press reboot to recovery
6. After reboot go to wipe and swipe to factory reset.
7. After wipe go to install, browse for MIUI and install.
8. After install is complete reboot to system.
9. Wait till all is completed, this reboot takes longer than usual... Do not be scared.
10. That must be it. Tell me if something goes wrong.
11. Good luck.

Already tried that....not working...
always says an error of "unable to mount /emmc".
On looking into twrp I tried to format the internal storage but it says 0MB.
Also i see 'internal SD storage' as vfat format.
Any further suggestions ?
I have noticed that luckily my twrp is 1 version older. which has option to format the internal storage (if i understand correctly)
Maybe you can provide some codes to re-partition the internal storage. (this is what i learnt so far from other forums :crying
:crying::crying::crying:
Hi. To repartition the phone you must know some hexa.
I studied some tutorials here in XDA.
On our problem, seems to me that something happened to your hardware.
See if you can format the phone with sp flash tool v5.

My computer is not able to detect the phone. after connecting with cable i see a notification as 'usb not recognized'.
However, my External SD card can be read through phone.
So any other way to partition internal sd ?

If your computer does not detect your phone is a hardware problem.
That means you have a hardware fault on the phone motherboard. Seems to me that you have to go to an service store for further analysis.

I was messing with different custom roms for my BLU Studio M HD (same as Gionee Pw5). At one point I went into TWRP -> wipe -> Advanced I checked all the boxes and then pressed enter. Now SP flash tools freezes at Download DA 100% when trying to flash stock ROM and I can't turn on my phone or go into recovery mode.
Please help! Is my phone bricked!
Help anyone?

Why did you do such thing?!
Do you remember the names next to the boxes you checked?, if you still have TWRP, can you flash a custom rom through recovery?
Help. I'm new on flashing. Recently I accidentally made a big mistake by flashing a wrong recovery on my phone (Cloudfone geo 401q+) and now its stock on boot logo. I made a backup of stock recovery and firmware using flashify but I don't know how can it help me to get my phone back to working. Any help will be gladly appreciated. Thanks

I hope this helps.
Has anyone been able to resolve this?
I chose to restore my phone to factory settings and it just won't stop booting to recovery now.
I tried to flash Eragon but still the same thing.
I am using TeamWin Recovery.
Please help.
Thanks!
Just in case anyone will find this useful...
I resolved this by flashing back the stock ROM using SP Flash Tool.
