Installation instructions MIUI on Lenovo P780.

1. Go to: Settings - About Phone - version information. There are looking at the line where the version of the SXXX phone is written. If you have a version other than S129 ( chinese firmware), then go to step 2, if you already have this version, then skip the installation of the stock firmware.

2. To install the stock firmware you will need:

Program on computer SP Flash Tools: download
Driver to work with the phone: download
File with firmware: download

After downloading all files, we install the driver, create a folder (preferably as possible with a smaller way, for example C: \\ Lenovo \\) and throw two folders from the archives to it - target bin from the file with the firmware and the folder with the SP Flash Tools program. Next, go to the folder with the program, launch Flash_tool.exe.
In the program window, we perform alternately:

Click the Scatter-Loading key, choose in the Target folder bin file. MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.
Press DA DL All WITH CHECK SUM
Click the Firmware Upgrade key

After the strips stop going, we take the phone, turn off, remove the lid of the battery compartment, click the RESET button. After that we connect with USB phone in a computer. Strips should appear. We are waiting for about 8 minutes until the green circle appears with the OK inscription, close the program, take the USB from the phone and turn on.

After downloading, it is desirable to turn on English in the settings so that it is easier to put the root and recovery.

3. Take a microSD card, throw off the following files on it:
Ruth Installer: Download
MobileUuncle for installing recovery: download
Recovery (personally for me more conveniently CWM, but you can search another on the Internet): download
MIUI image:

First, we put the root installer, be sure to the device itself, and not on the SD card. In the application, select the installation of SU and click Boromir, you must get out the message about a successful root, if simply came out of the application, go and select SU. After that restart the phone.

Next, install MobileUncle, when you first start, press the Grand key. Next, select the Update Recovery menu in it, you select the image of the recovery from the SD card, confirm, and reboot to the CWM itself.

4. In the recovery, make Factory Reset, Wipe Cashe, in Advanced Wipe Dalvik Cashe. Then in the MOUNTS menu, select Mount SD Card, mount and exit back to the main menu. Here you select Update .zip, then Update From SD Card, then select the file itself with the MIUI image. We are waiting for about a minute, and after successful installation, restart your phone using reboot now.

All the above, the actions described you do at your own risk, read more carefully about installing third-party firmware!

Famous difficulties: it does not turn on english. You need to go to the settings (gear icon), to enter all the settings there, then scroll down to the menu with the letter icon A. There is the first point to choose a language.
