God I'm starting to hate this piece of garbage!
as I'd asked earlier, I had a problem with the wifi, it couldn't find anything when the sim card was in, so I tried rooting the device, installing Wifix and Wifi manager aside Busy box Pro.
that solved the wifi problem in the original Row rom, but didn't work on neither the Vibe Rom nor the Qubex Roms, so I had to go back to the stock ROW.
but this is just way too slow and a big number of games won't work properly on my phone, like Shadow Warrior 2 that i could easily run on my dads S920! but was awefully slow on my phone.
so what's the problem?! is it because of the Rom, or the Root, or it's just because of the Intel inside?! :D
more important question: the Wifix .... method is buggy and it takes a while to work after a reboot, is there a permanent way to fix the wifi issue?!
it'd be great if one of u guys could answer me quickly, it's quite urgent!

@dondeep
thanks for the reply mate, I have tried all of the Vibe ROMs, including the Qebex 8.2, but wifiX and wifi manager don't work on'em and I can't use wifi while there's a simcard in my phone!
so u think the reason it can't run even medium quality games is because of the ROM?
btw: I'm currently on the International ROW ROM 13078
p.s. I'm still lookin' for a permanent replacement for wifix and wifi manager to fix the wifi issue!

im tried with factory reset and i have same problem my friend..

I suggest you take a backup and reinstall the ROM. OR do a factory reset.

im tried with factory reset and i have same problem my friend..
if i reinstall system, if I can put any version? The authorized service told me that they may not work reinstall the system on phones that do not have a domestic software. I said that I bought it in China and they said that we should not do system because it can happen that I will not be able to turn on the phone ever? :crying:

What is the problem exactly

I have a problem with my mobile phone (lenovo k900). It just shuts down and during operation. Not because of the temperature or anything. He turn off after 5min of work, and sometimes after 20 hours of work. but lately has begun very often shuts down .. I bought it six months ago, at first I thought I had a problem with the battery, but in service center (not legal for lenovo) they said that the battery is fine.

When my sim card is not in phone and if the phone is switched he can work 10+ hours (WiFi is turned on, and can normally surfing on the Internet). But if is the sim card is inside, and I use quite normal mobile phone he is turning off. It happens all the time. He encounters a period that goes turn off and i can not turn on next 1hr. He began turning it off at every 2, 3, 5, 15 min

That is Non-Stop happens ... sometimes can work with SIM card 2hr ... but generally he is turning off non stop ..

I do not know how to explain it, I think you understand me... i'm very mad on my phone. I do not want to sell it out of principle, I want to break it! I love my phone, his resolution is beautiful, everything works ok but since this started to happen I'll have a nervous breakdown :crying:

    More images Benchmarks and detailed preview (use google translate) : http://hi-tech.mail.ru/review/misc/Lenovo_K900-prev.html


    For Root and Google apps(if missing) :
    Credit to cyman for finding this out
    Everything I write here is originally from lenovoforum.net (http://www.lenovohome.net/thread-161530-1-1.html) so every credit goes to them and also Google Translate, who helped me to understand that Chinese stuff;)

    1) So, first you have to download their package. Because it's a very slow connection, I'll offer it via my Dropbox. Please, can someone upload it on another hoster? This would be great, thanks. Anyway, the download link is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ilxyuc9gimzpa0q/联想K900纯净版含google谷歌服务框架版已root线刷包 (1).rar PW for unpacking: www.lenovohome.net

    2) You have to install the things which you can find in one of the folders in this order: First IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.2.0 (you may try to install it with compatibility mode Windwos XP, worked for me), then iSocUSB-Driver-setup-1.0. 2.exe (during this process it will tell you, that you have to plug in your phone and turn it off with holding the power button for longer than 10 seconds and then turn it on again). If you suceed you will see that it installs a new driver "Colvertrail". At last, you may install ManufacturingFlashTool_Setup_6.0.2.exe.

    3) Now let's prepare the ManufacturingFlashTool for flashing our K900.
    I don't know how to put screenshots in here. So I just tell you: Go to settings and put in this values: SOC devices: VID: 8086, PID: 09EE / Android Devices: VID: 8087, PID: 09ef
    Check "Override". You'll find a screenshot of the settings in one of the Chinese Word files in the download folder;)

    4) Now you can open a file in ManufacturingFlashTool and you'll open the xml-File, which is in the Firmware-Folder (calles "flash-DVT3-CPU-sign")

    5) Now the program is ready to flash and says: "waiting for device". So this is what you have to do: Power off your K900 with holding the power button for 11 seconds. It may be black now but it is running! Plug the phone in and now it should detect it and automatically begin to flash. Wait until it's100%. Sometimes it reboots and it says "waiting for device" but it will finish.

    6) When you have completed 100%, you may detach the phone and power it on. It may take a few minutes for the first time but now you'll have Google Apps:)

    7) How to get ROOT: Go to superuser and hit the settings button in the right upper corner. Set "security" "Automatic response" to "allow". No you cann go back in the superuser app and hit "update", it should do a root now. For a better x86-compatible Root Explorer, you can install the apk in the attachement

    Please excuse my English. Maybe somebody can write a better Guide with pictures? But I know you wanted it fast:) By the way: If you can't execute the exe-Files, try to pack them into a new folder because Windwos seems to have problems with the folders with Chinese signs.



    I'm here for help you, and yes I bought K900 :)

    Here is the international .inb file to flash.
    Part One: How flash international version:
    1. create SDFUSE folder in the / of sdcard.
    2. insert inb file there
    3. go to fastboot mode (Vol+ + Power) and choose sdfuseupdate
    4. done.
    you'll get official international 47 rom (ROW region). It has google apps, it has play store.
    INB file is here:
    https://mega.co.nz/#F!xNdywAJA!AFbE_HikuoFODLpoc1j7Yg

    Part Two:
    I made HEX research and separated files from INB files. You'll not find those files in the internet, I didn't find it. So, I decided to research .inb
    For debug, you can find them here:
    https://mega.co.nz/#F!1YE1xDxC!IflBj13Im1549nu0feBvnw

    Part Three:
    I made root in the international 47 ROM.
    how to?
    1. download this system.img.gz:
    2. go to fastboot mode (make sure you flashed 47 INB file already).
    3. install manufacturing tool, all tools can be found here. https://mega.co.nz/#F!0UlDnLLR!IuQdqFqT-oIXtvRlQNtLBw Find fastboot in the program files folder, you'll need this fastboot.exe tool for intel phone.
    4. use cmd,
    fastboot erase system
    fastboot flash system system.img.gz

    by using those commands you re-flash system.img.gz that I made, it includes root (su library) and superuser. Superuser doesn't respond when need to allow or reject root, so you need to go and manually allow root rights in superuser for any application.

    system img rooted: https://mega.co.nz/#F!MZ0SXRIT!R1ZAawbEjKcRm3ZXFJ0siA

    Root was made by me, you'll not find this info in other sites. I write this info on xda first time.

    Enjoy!
    do not brick your phones, I'm not responsible if something you do wrong, but I tested and it works fine at my K900.
    Yes.

    But I found one more interesting thing. First time I flashed .inb file after chinese rom, but now I found full pack of fastboot files and flashed it (same 47 rom).

    https://mega.co.nz/#F!IJF2hLYI!GpcLinegjjcRM6puQa0GXg

    Wonder, but I have less heat releasing from the phone on the load of CPU.
    I don't know why.

    I recommend to flash full fastboot pack first, then boot and then step 4 - root.

    p.s. files are uploaded
    15
    727 root

    Here is rooted 727 ROM created by me:
    http://we.tl/hGjiHxuVXK

    I left rom completely stock, just added su-superuser. I tested it on my phone and it works fine.
    Load it with MFT tool. If you dont know how search this tread for instructions. I suggest you load whole rom as it is.

    After loading and all rebooting wait for first boot, it might be slow. Then go to superuser app and update binaries, same as always.

    Enjoy :).

    Dont forget to press thanks button...

    PLAY STORE INCOMPATIBILITIES

    For app incompatibilities in the play store I heavily recommend you to download this multiDPI play store https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8KrGAeeg12lZFJsOWE2NGVpZXc&usp=sharing

    To install it:

    1-Move the 2 files (phonesky.apk and googleservicesfrmework.apk) to /system/app and accept replacing the old ones.

    1.1-I dont think it is needed any permission but if you have problems grant all permissions to both files

    2-Reboot and you are done :)
