Hello everyone friends! Today is July 19th and for several days already on Lenovo P780 phones have the official European firmware Kitkat, i.e. Android 4.4 Kitkat. This is a fairly interesting event, because our phone Lenovo P780 stood in line for this firmware, and all the same "Lenovo" did it. Even for this, it would seem the old phone, announced a year ago. They support it, constantly update the firmware, and they do not easily have some minor changes, but even put Android 4.4. Those. It is very nice - thanks to "Lenovtsam" is big, for supporting this unit.

Everything's OK. In principle, sometimes there are small brakes, quite a bit, but they are. At least I noticed it. It is possible that while the raw version of the firmware and a little later, the developers will update everything, correct, but they say that already on Monday, July 21, this firmware will be asked to upgrade to all Lenovo phones with the European "\u003ckal" firmware. Those. If you have chinese phoneAnd you put ourselves "stock" firmware and then replaced the radio module, then you have a phone on Monday as soon as the Internet will want to upgrade, but it will not be able to do this because you changed the radio module. The firmware that will come through the air checks all the files are intact, and if you deleted some applications, or replaced the recovery, or replaced the radio module, then the flash driver sees that the original files have been pouched upon, and the fear of something irreversibly harm - It just will not update the firmware.
You can install the firmware a few days before the official release. This became possible thanks to the forum http://lenovo-forums.ru/, for which he is thank you very much. All files took from http://lenovo-forums.ru/. They will be posted on a deposit. The link is at the beginning of the article immediately under the video.
In this video, I will show how to install the kitkat firmware. There is a small nuance, since the firmware is now only in the option "OTA". She now exists in the OTA version - this is an update that "through the air" comes. This is not the option of the firmware version that you are with personal computer Install on any firmware in Lenovo P780, and all data on the phone is formatted and installed a new firmware.
So, what do we need to do? Since the firmware "Ota", that means the phone before flashing - checks that everything you have OK and that the firmware version you have the last one - the European 124th, also checks that you have a whole recovery that you have The desired radio module, all googlovsky files, services in place. If the flash driver feels that something is wrong with the phone, naturally there will be no installation. You, at all, who have Chinese versions of phones, is already initially not all. As a rule, you have the recovery updated and 200% that everyone has a modified radio module. By the way, in Kitkat, the radio module also needs to be changed, because by default everything is very bad and catches. We are determined that we need clean stock, the European 124th firmware.
Now many will begin to ask:
Oh, and I only changed the radio module, how can I change the back of the radio module to then be stitched and everything was fine.
And I only changed the recovery, let me be back the recovery, how to do it? Then I tried, but she does not go.
And you spoke, and you did not say.
Therefore, we initially put on the P780, from the computer through the flastell clean, the original, 124th, the European firmware. Do not touch anything else. We throw the ZIP with the update to the root of the phone, launch the standard recovery. We will install updates and we get such a VIBE interface to get Kitkat on our P780. After you got Kitkat, you need to immediately clean the cache. After that we use Kitkat for the European version.

After the firmware, you find that we do not work well the second SIM card that is in 2G slot. It is also easily solved - changing the radio module. In order to change the radio module, you must first replace the recovery. We will change it using a computer. After we change the recovery, we will be able to change the radio module through this advanced recovery (TWRP). After that, we can get root-rights, too, using a patch, i.e. File, which we run again from TWRP recovery. Everything is simple. Here is the entire plan of this video.
Be sure to save all your data to your computer before the firmware, you can even in several places. Be sure to remove the flash card, SIM cards and charge at least half a battery.
I have Kitkat. Now I will demolish him. I will put the European 124th firmware. How to do I have already shown in the video, but there is one nuance, you have a phone can be either 2014 release, as mine, or 2013 release as the one that I have no available now. The difference in the bud. If you put the 2013 firmware on the 2014 phone - you get a brick. Many are asked, oh, I threw the box how to determine what year the phone. I'm afraid to get a brick. What are you afraid of? We assume that he is 2013. We sew the firmware 2013 - we get a brick. It's simple here, then the phone is 2014. We change the boot, again load and get the working phone already. No problem!
How to flash for the 2013 phone -.
How to flash for the phone 2014.
Everything is simple. Choose what year you have a phone. I put the 124th firmware and then continue. It will be interesting.
Everything is done very simple. We turn off the phone completely. Ticker "Fast loading" - we remove.

And turn off the USB cord. So he - I turned it off.

Open the flash and choose the scant, I have 2014 firmware.

I check that everything is fine.

I put a tick "Check the amount"

and I press the software update. Everything.


Now I connect the USB cable to the phone off. You must hear "Bzhin" from the computer, which indicates that the new equipment has connected. And the process of flashing rushed!


After everything is over - we must see the following window:


Everything is completed. Turn on the phone. Well, wait, the first turning on the phone is always long. It can leave 3, 4 and even 5 minutes. Those. You may seem that the phone is hung. In fact, this is not the case, it is just the first time turns on. Take care of patience, well, before you reboot or something global to do something - wait at least 10 minutes. As a rule, 4-5 minutes.
The P780 phone turned on, I went for 3 minutes 15 seconds. Now he will start the first time, a license agreement appeared. The 2nd SIM card should be badly catching the network - this is normal. Everything happened, we have a naked, clean, official 124th firmware for the Evraquest version. Here it is the last 124th firmware. All perfectly.

Now put the update "OTA" to Kitkat. In order for the phone to establish these updates, he needs to somehow raise them. To do this, simply copy the update to the root of the phone. The archive with the update is called "Update.zip". I do not unpack it, but just just throw in the root.

Turn off the cable. While he is not needed. Well, check that we really have our "update.zip" file, which has 722 MB.

Perfectly. Turn off the phone. Like the last time you remove the Quick Boot tick. Fully turn off Lenovo P780. Further, we need to go to the recovery for this, press both loud swings and the power button.

Pressed and keep all three buttons until the image appears on the screen. The phone turned on, you can release the buttons.

And then the process went. Here is the status of boot, a small goat, which is lengthened.


Those. Recovery found at home "Update.zip" and immediately updated. As soon as this process is over, we will get our Kitkat. The phone after 2-3 minutes of convulsive, monotonous whistles began to publish some signs of life. It's fine.
Now we will be asked to accept the license agreement. Also pass the simplest wizard, which will help choose the languages, configure the phone P780. Here is the master, he offers to choose a language, click on, further.


In any case, we need to do full reset. And all that you have chosen now will not be saved and you will need to choose everything for the second time.
Everything. OK. You can make a complete reset from the recovery. To do this, turn off the phone, go to the recovery, but you can do it all easier. We open the dialer, and type the code #### 7777 #. We are asked, really you want to reset all the data, as everything is deleted, everything, all your user data. Well, of course we want. OK.


Now the phone will go to reboot. It will go to the recovery, prevent something that he cleaned something there. After that turns off, it will need to be turned on. And again wait 5 minutes until it turns on.
Turn on. And wait. Here you already choose what you need, language. This of course can be done and then from the settings menu. But you can immediately.
That's it. Everything works for us. All perfectly. My congratulations! You have now installed Kitkat, the latest version of android, which is for our beloved Lenovo P780.
Now I have a second card catches the network very bad.


That's all due to the fact that European and chinese version The phone is hardware different radio modules. Since we want to the Chinese telephone, the European firmware then we must put the radio module, firewood from the Chinese version radio module. What we will do now.
We put TWRP recovery, then with it change the radio module. We need a archive in which all files that are needed for further procedures. The link to the archive was higher. The archive is large enough - 60 MB., But nevertheless there are everything in it. We will change the recovery using a computer. To do this, turn off the phone (turn off completely). Remove the Fast Boot tick (fast download). The cable to the phone is not connected now. In order to replace the recovery, we need the recovery itself and the Flashtool program (Flashtool). I created myself on local disk D, fashion folder. Recovery P780 Kit-Kat and, I will prepare in it all we need. We also need TWRP mod recovery. Open the folder with TWRP, in it 2 files: recovery and scant. Also throw off in our folder. Everything, we have everything.

Run the flash station. Select the scatter file. I have a lot of firmware on the disk with and you need to make sure that we have chosen the correct scatter file. Here is TWRP mod. Recovery, but also scatter file. To make sure that everything is right, the check mark should stand above the item recovery. Everything is fine with us.

To accurately make sure that we have exactly the recovery, click on it 2 times, go to the C drive, and again we find the recovery. And here is our recovery, I pointed it again.


We put a check mark Check Hashsummum. And click the download button, we warn us: Are you sure? Of course, confident. Press yes.

Now the program is waiting. The phone is turned off. And now we simply connect the USB cable. As soon as I connect it to the process. Everything.

Well, now we directly go into our modified recoveryTwrp. If the first time it did not work out to go into the recovery and the phone began to turn on, it does not make sense to turn off the phone and again try to go into the recovery. It will be necessary to sew it again. This is due to the files in the Android, which the recovery should be replaced when the first is turned on. In the general algorithm, the following:
We flash the Rakavery and go to it.
If it did not work, we flash again and again try to go into it.
After we go to it, the recovery will already remain and will not fly. Now we need radio modulus files. To do this, leave the recovery by selecting the "Reboot Phone" item

We connect the phone to the computer, the lies with the radio module on the phone and only then go to the recovery. I will change on 51 radio module, as I personally test him, I like it. It works well. Guys with Utyuba, and my subscribers and spectators say that they tried everything, 52 gives the best results. I dont know. I will lay out you great amount These modules. Here they are. Look, let's like it, then take it. These are modules, others.

These are modules for the firmware Kitkat on P780. They have any changes regarding radio modules for more old firmware. I will put 51 radio models. If you want to try everything - copy everything and try, test. Now we have 4 modules on the phone. Turn off the phone and go into the recovery, for this we climb both volume buttons, then the power button and wait until the phone does not start.
We went to TWRP recovery. Choose what we want to install.

Choose our radio module. I want a 51 radio module. I choose him.

After that we clean the cache.

At the end reboot.

Phone Lenovo P780 turned on. We see all the "antennas", that is, the phone catches the network well.

Let's make sure that we got exactly 51 radio models.

Yes Radio module 51. Since I wanted. In this regard, everything is fine with us. Again, all sticks catch. I tested him, he catches good, at least in Moldova, works fine in Chisinau. I have the first SIM card stands Moldchel, the second orange. Work perfectly. How I tested it: I spoke on the phone, people hear me, and I hear people as much. No problem. We got excellent phonewhich works for Kitkat. It seems to work smoothly, and it seems and says a little. He sometimes thinks when she is doing the first time, and then flies.

Installing root.
We connect our Lenovo P780 to the computer, and copy the root files to the root. This is a SuperUser and MobileUncle archive with which we will make sure we have root rights.

We remove the cable, it will no longer need it, unless of course it goes well. Install MobileUncle via a browser file. Choose MobileUncle and install, we say that it is forbidden to install applications from unknown places in the phone, but we will change in the settings and allow you to install from unknown places. Let's try to install MOBILEUNCLE once again. Immediately open. We see that the root rights we do not have. Regrettable ...

Turn off the phone. We go to TWRP recovery, press 2 swings, wait a second and press the food. I hold all 3 buttons as only Lenovo will hang and the inscription will appear all the buttons let go.
Located in TWRP, everything is fine. Select the "Instal" item and select our SuperUser File, which we threw into the phone's memory. If we want to install - we move the slider. We look at what is all good. Successfully. And reboot.

Now I will run MobileUncle again, I want to make sure that the root rights have appeared.

This long video can be considered completed. While the phone Lenovo P780 also thinks. That is why he slows down a stupid. So it seems to be a little moved. We launch our MobileUncle. We immediately ask the superuser that this application (MobileUncle) wants to get root rights. Let me. And we see the inscription root. What we needed.
Well, that's all friends. I am sure that you do not regret that they spent time on watching this video. If you like it, be sure to place LIKE. I will be very nice. If you can't do something or it turns out, be sure to unsubscribe about it in the comments. But in any case, you see that I have done everything from P780, everything shown in the video. I did everything, I got on phone Lenovo. P780 last kitkat firmware. Last module. Well, not the last - put a normal radio module. Everything works well. So sure you have problems, well, just can not. But still, if anything - be sure to write. I will try, if possible, help you.
Thank you all. Until. Do not forget to like a video well, and write good or not very successful results of your attempts in the comments.

Few models of Android smartphones of the most famous manufacturer Lenovo can be characterized by such a prevalence and popularity as Ideaphone P780. It is really very good at the time of his release the device and, despite the fact that this phone considered morally obsolete, his specifications allow you to satisfy most of the needs of the average user and today. Below will be talking about working with system software in the aspect of its recovery, replacement and actualization, that is, about the firmware of the model.

Lenovo software components can be updated, reinstalled, customized, as well as if necessary, restored with all users of tools and methods available to all users. Almost all situations that may arise are described in the instructions below, but before serious intervention in software Devices should be considered:

When performing operations, according to the recommendations below, the user aware of the potential risk of procedures. All actions are performed by the owner of the apparatus at their own risk and only he is responsible for their results and consequences!

Before manipulating with the software part of any Android device, you need to conduct certain preparatory actions with the device and a computer, which will be used as a tool for transferring data to the device. Conducting the preparation in full, you can avoid many errors and very quickly achieve the desired result - a correct and steadily functioning smartphone Lenovo P780.

Hardware revisions

In total, there are four versions of the Lenovo P780 model, which differ not only to the estimated manufacturer of the use region (two options for the Chinese market and two international revisions), the program part (memory markup - in the devices for China - CN., International - Row), year of release (conditionally devices are divided into released until 2014 and during it), but also hardware (various ROM volumes - 4 GB (only "international") 8 GB, different radio modulus).

Firmware methods and software tools for various variants of the model do not differ, but used various versions Packages with system software. This material demonstrates universal methods for the model to reinstall and restore the OS, and according to the references proposed in the article can be found software, suitable for "international" smartphones with memory and 4 and 8 GB.

For "Chinese" options, the archives with the system files according to the reader will have to search for yourself. To help with this search, we note - a good selection of official and modified OS for all revisions of the device is collected on the site, but to download files from a resource.

The instructions under consideration below were applied to a device with a memory capacity of 8 GB, intended for the international market - it is such smartphones that are sold in the CIS officially and are today the most common. Distinguish the model from versions for China, you can inscribe on the battery, removing rear cover.

Information on international versions is applied to english language, "Chinese" - hieroglyphs are observed and a blue-colored sticker is present.

Drivers

The first thing you need to do before moving to the installation of android in Lenovo P780 is the installation of specialized drivers.

On methods for connecting non-working smartphones that are not defined by the computer is described below in the description "Fashion 3: Deadlishes". This uses the driver package laid down on the link above!

Rut-right

Obtaining the privileges of the superuser on the model under consideration should be attributed rather to the concomitant, and not preparatory procedures before reinstalling the system. At the same time, root rights may be required to create a complete backup of the system and other manipulations preceding the intervention in the software part, as well as necessary in its daily work, therefore, the knowledge of how to get them may be useful to many users.

Equipping the phone with root rights is made using a tool that usually does not cause difficulties even from newbies. Just download APK file by reference from the review article on our website and execute instructions from the lesson:

Bacup

Copying information commonly stored in the smartphone, in a safe place - mandatory action before the Lenovo P780 firmware, because when manipulations with the sections of the device's memory, all information will be destroyed! Users of the model are extremely recommended to perform backup any affordable way And with every opportunity.

There are quite a large amount of protection against data loss, and the most effective of them are described in the article:

In addition to the loss of personal information, users who produce manipulations with the system on the model under consideration may encounter another unlikeness - the loss of communication modules that occurs after wiping "IMEI" and / or is a consequence of damage to the section "NVRAM".

It is extremely recommended to create a dump "NVRAM" In front of any not documented manufacturer with smartphone operations, then the restoration of this section, if damaged it does not take much time and will not require serious effort.

It is much easier to create a backup "NVRAM" At the first opportunity, than in damage to this area of \u200b\u200bmemory for a long time and hard to restore it!

One of the most simple methods creating backup "NVRAM" is the use of tools.

Restoration of the region "NVRAM" It is performed by the following steps, only in paragraph number 5, the button is selected "Restore".

Installation Android, Update, Restoration

After the preparation, you can move to the immediate firmware Lenovo. P780, that is, overwriting system sections of the smartphone memory using specialized software. Below are the official and more universal methods of working with the OS device in various situations. And also shows the method of restoring non-working devices and the installation of modified (custom) firmware.

The choice of the method of interaction is determined by the initial state of the smartphone and the desired result, that is, the version of Android, which is managed by the phone in the future.

Method 1: Official Lenovo

One of the few documented by the manufacturer of interaction methods with system sections Lenovo P780 is software Lenovo Moto. Smart Assistant. . This software allows you to simply and quickly update the official version of the system, that is, to get the latest official firmware on the smartphone.

Upload a tool for working with Android devices Lenovo follows from the developer's official website:

1. After receiving the package on the link above, install the smart assistant by installing the distribution file and follow the instructions of the installer.



2. We start the tool and connect P780 to the USB port. On the smartphone should be activated "USB debugging". To turn on debugging, it is enough after connecting the phone to the PC to move the notification shout on the screen down and set the mark in the corresponding checkbox.



3. The definition of the model and its characteristics in the program occurs automatically. After displaying information in the window, go to the tab "Flash".



4. Checking availability for Android is made in Moto Smart Assistant automatically. In the case of the presence of the ability to actualize the version of the system software, the corresponding notice will be issued.



Press the button with the image directed down the arrows located near the information on the versions of the versions in the device and the future OS, and then wait for the download files to the PC disk.

5. After all the required components are obtained, the active button will be "Update", Pressing the process of actualization android will launch.



6. The system will remind you of the need to create a backup important information in a special request window. In confidence that everything you need is copied in a safe place, click "Proceed".



7. Subsequent stages involving the update of the system according to Lenovo P780, the manufacturer's brand means conducts without user intervention. The update will be transferred to the smartphone, the latter will reboot and will start with new version Assembly OS.

Method 2: SP Flash Tool

The most effective tool that allows you to produce almost everything possible actions With systematic on android apparatuses built on the MediaTek hardware platform - this is.

To work with the model under consideration, you will need a specific version of the application - v5.1352.01. You can download the archive with software files by reference:

Before proceeding to the manipulations with the P780 via FlashTool, we recommend reading the material containing instructions for reinstalling the OS on MTK devices using the tool in the general case:

We install the last assembly of the official system for the "international" version of Lenovo P780. You can always download archives for 4 and 8 gigabyte model options by reference below. Select a directory corresponding to the hardware characteristics of the smartphone:

1. Unpack the archive with software and flash drive in separate directories.



2. Run Sp. Flash Tool and load in the program using the file button "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt", located in the folder, resulting in unpacking the archive with software.



3. We are convinced that the mode is selected "DOWNLOAD ONLY" in the drop-down list of options.



4. Press "DOWNLOAD" And we connect the connected telephone to the USB port of the PC.



5. The process of overwriting the memory starts automatically and lasts pretty long time. It is possible to observe the execution of the procedure using the filling status bar at the bottom of the window.



6. Upon completion of data transfer to the device, confirming the success window with a green circle will appear - "Download OK".



7. Disconnect the YUSB cable from the phone and run it, holding a key for a long time "Turning on".



8. After initialization, start and settings get official Android latest versionreleased by the manufacturer for the model under consideration.

Method 3: "Deadlining", Restoring IMEI

The above instructions that assume reinstalling android on Lenovo P780 are available for execution, if the device in question as a whole is operational, loaded into the system or in any case is determined by the computer in the off state. But what to do, if the smartphone does not turn on, does not load and is not visible in "Device Manager" Even for a short time?

This or similar to it has been comic among Android devices among users, but at the same time a very accurate name is "brick", and the restoration of performance in such situations is "exposure". To output Lenovo P780 from the "Brick" state, you will need already used above. SP Flash Tool v5.1352.01, package with official version S124., as well as additional files recovery "NVRAM" and "IMEI"If the dump section was not previously created.

The use of the method is advisable only if all other options for reinstallation of Android are trimmed and do not bring results! Before proceeding with manipulations, you need to read the instructions to the end and evaluate own forces and opportunities, as well as cook everything you need for restoration operations!

We divide the process of returning the apparatus under consideration into a fully working state into three stages: the creation of a situation in which the "visibility" of the device is provided; Installation of system software with pre-complete memory formatting; Restoring the software modem, IMEI numbers, which is necessary for the full functioning of the communication modules and will be needed after formatting the smartphone.

Step 1: We achieve "Visibility" "Preloader USB VCOM" in "Device Manager".

There are only three methods with which it is possible to access the "Dead" P780 C PC.

1. To begin with, we try to press and hold the key before connecting the device to the USB port. "Enlarge volume".

   

   As soon as the PC responds, the volume button can be released. If in "Dispatcher" Still does not change anything, go to the next item.

2. Remove the back cover of the device, remove the SIM card and microSD, prepare the cable, connected with the port of YUSB PC, open "Device Manager".

   Press the hardware button "RESET"located slightly below the connector to install the memory card, and hold it. Not releasing "Reset", plug connector micro USB cableconnected to a PC, in the phone connector. We are waiting for about 5 seconds and let go "RESET".

   

   In case of success, the smartphone will determine in "Dispatcher" as "Preloader USB VCOM" Or as an unknown device to install the driver described at the beginning of the article.

   Connection is not always possible from the first time, if success is not observed, we try to repeat the procedure several times!

3. When described above does not lead to the visibility of the device in "Dispatcher"There remains the most cardinal method - to attempt to connect a smartphone with a disconnected battery. For this we do the following:

Step 2: Installation Android

If the device has determined among the devices connected to the PC, you managed to install the driver "Prelader", We can assume that "the patient is rather alive than dead" and proceed to overwrite partitions, that is, the installation of android.

Step 3: Communication Recovery

The previous step of "expanding" allows you to restore performance operating systembut sections formatting will take to erasure "IMEI" And the inoperability of SIM cards. If there is a pre-made dump "NVRAM", Restore the section. If backup copy absent, you will have to attract powerful software tools Mauimeta 3G.. You can download the version tools that are suitable for manipulations with Lenovo P780, as well as the files needed for recovery.

1. The resulting link above the package must be unzipped.

   

   Then launch the Mauimeta installer - "Setup.exe" From the catalog with the program.



2. Install the application by following the instructions of the installer.



3. When the installation is completed, launch the tool on behalf of the administrator.



4. Switch the connection mode to "USB COM"By selecting the appropriate point in the Mauimeta main window drop-down list.



5. Open menu "Uptions" and set the mark near the option "Connect Smart Phone Into Meta Mode".



6. We call the option Open NVRAM Databaseavailable in the menu "Actions",
   
   

   and then specify the path to the file "Bplguinfocustomappsrcp_mt6589_s00_p780_v23" From the folder "ModeMDB" In the directory with components for recovery, click "Open".



7. Click "Reconnect"What will lead to the flicker (red-green) mug indicator of the device connecting.



8. Turn off the phone, press and hold on it "Volume-". Not releasing the key, connect the ideaphone with the USB port of the PC.

   

   Smartphone as a result of making interference will be translated into mode "META-MODE".

   

   As a result of the correct definition of the device, the indicator should change its color to yellow and window will appear. "Get Version".



9. We are convinced of the adjustment of the device and the program, clicking "Get Target Version" - Hardware characteristics will appear in the corresponding fields, after which the window must be closed.



If Mauimet does not respond to a connection, check the correctness of the installation of drivers in "Device Manager",



and if they are lack of installing the components manually from the package available for downloading by reference at the beginning of this article!



10. Select from the drop-down list option "UPDATE PARAMETER",

    

    and then specify the path to the file "P780_ROW.ini" in the window that opens by clicking the button "Load From File" From the directory with the components for recovery.
