Best available official latest ROM for Lenovo K860

Hi,

I have recently flashed the ROM K860 _1_SAM_1217_2_002_0343_121229 to my Lenovo K860,
Unfortunately lot of things aren't working, Like I am able to install Google Maps or lot of other apps with error :
"Your Device isn't compatible with this version" from Play Store.

I need help to get things sorted out and working fine, smooth and stable.

What I need is the latest stable ROM available for Lenovo K860 Indian Model, and also the instructions on how to flash.

Thanks for the help in advance and for your time.

Hi,
Please find the steps below. Hope I am able to explain everything well. Please do this at your own risk. I am using this since yesterday and everythings working fine.

I have not created anything just used bits and pieces from different places to get this done. All credit goes to the people who actually created this.

Root Tools-- : Download all three files.
1. Install CWM recovery (in english) using SDFUSE method.
2. Flash the "get space.zip"
3. Flash the "supersu.zip".
Reboot and your phone is rooted.

Warning:please do not update the supersu as the binary doesn't get updated after the update and you would loose root access. IF you loose root access please follow steps 2 & 3 again to get root access.

The system partition is a big 567 Mb. Remove Lenovo Bloatware to make space for Gapps and flash gapps You can get it from Here. If you directly flash it using recovery do remove the new folder created in the system/usr folder as it not required and consumes around 30 Mb.

** All credits to Silesh Nair for modifying this apk
To remove the location issue replace the framework-res.apk in the system/framework. You can do it using root explorer. First move this inside the system folder. Change the permission to rw-r-r. Then after changing the permission move this inside the framework folder.
framework-res.apk is already modified by Silesh and he has uploaded it at URL(here)

**All Credits to Koitu for providing these suggestions
To remove the market issue add the file "android.hardware.location.xml" in system/etc/permissions and set the permissions as rw-r-r. Reboot phone

To remove the ussd issue replace the "librapid-ril-core.so"in system/lib and set the permission to rw-r-r. Reboot

Both files attached.

    There are different custom ROM's & root methods for the K860 & K860i. Most of the root methods & ROM's are compatible with both the K860 and K860i. Read the full thread to be sure.
    I'll update this post regularly, if there are any changes needed please say so in the thread or PM me (still WIP for adding the latest stuff).
    Below you can find everything!

    - Root methods & stock ROM's + MOD's/fixes:

    There is an APK root method, linked below, or you can use the original not so easy root method:

    I did some research on how to root it.
    I found some steps on this Chinese website.

    What I understand from it is you have to do the following steps to root:

    - Set the phone to USB debugging in it's settings
    - Make sure drivers are installed and the phone is recognized well by the phone PC software
    - Close all the PC phone software applications
    - Make sure no other android or smart/USB-device is connected except for the phone itself
    - Download this file: root files, download link is also below in the attachment.
    - Unzip it and launch the .exe (executable file) with the Chinese characters (should be first .exe in directory)
    - The shell/CMD should start the root process
    - The phone will automatically restart, don't touch it or any button, don't interrupt the shell program!
    - Now after the reboot of the phone you should press any key on your keyboard when asked
    - The shell program should continue, the phone will restart again!
    - Again press any key to continue and wait for the shell program to reboot your phone for the third time (this can take some time, be patient!)
    - When rebooted the "Operation was successful" message should appear in the shell program
    - Now your K860 is rooted! Look for the root app in your phone to confirm. If rooting didn't work, try this process again
    - Also update the Superuser or superSU app & binaries

    USSD CODE Fix for Native Chinese JB ROMs

    Hi all, for all of you using Chinese native JB ROMs on your K860 or maybe also for K860i (I only have K860, thus can't do any testing), I have found a way to fix problem with USSD code not working. The solusion is pretty simple, you just need to replace the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) Library and Bin executable files using that of working ROM (in which obvious are only from ICS ROW ROM). I have tested it myself and it simply works so far.

    Files to be copied (replacing existing files) and their respective folder in your phone are:
    librapid-ril-core.so --> copy to "system\lib"
    librapid-ril-util.so --> copy to "system\lib"
    libreference-ril-so --> copy to "system\lib"
    libril.so --> copy to "system\lib"
    rild --> copy to "system\bin"
    Use any of your favorite Root Explorers and don't forget to change back permission of copied files as shown, then REBOOT your phone

    To keep it simple, I attached the extracted library and executable files (it's in rar, extract them first!); files' permission setting; and a screenshot of me running balance check USSD code on Lidroid 4.4

    Hope It Helps :angel:

    Custom ROM K860

    Updated my custom ROM to version 2.03, and sharing it just in case someone else outside my local forum is interested:
    THIS IS FOR K860 not sure if it's working for K860i (although i'm using K860i kernel source code)
    Features:
    - Working USSD and Market fix.
    - Base ROM: Latest 130424 Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
    - Swap uboot.bin from other version, (130424 uboot.bin broken recovery option through boot loader menu A)
    - Custom made kernel, modded & compiled from K860i JB source code.
    - Add i/o schedulers: ROW, SIO, & V(R).
    - Default i/o scheduler set to ROW instead of CFQ (standar stock K860).
    - Busybox installed.
    - Root-ed, Superuser manager using Koush's (creator of Clockworkmod), all credits goes to him.
    - Init.d support.
    - Playstore compatibility and USSD fix.
    - GApps (Google Apps) for JB 4.1.2 included, using package from Formula84
    - Apex launcher.
    - Set default language to English
    - Lots of Ringtones.
    - Added Cootek TouchPal keyboard.
    - Lenovo's app debloated
    - 4 way reboot, thanks to Kahvitahra of XDA-Developers.
    - Changes from my v2.02: some build.prop tweak for less UI glitch, Themed UI - BLACK - Quick Setting Toggler button from JB 4.2

    Tweaks:
    - Default governor (pegasusq) tweaks for more responsive CPU.
    - GPU rendering for UI (may cause small glitch).
    - Tweaks for better battery life (sleep mode; disable normalize and new fair sleeper;dll).
    - Low memory killer (Minfree) tweaks.
    - Increase eMMC readahead buffer size.
    - Some minor VM tweaks for better performance.
    - Navbar size set to 25dpi (default 40dpi).
    - SQLite database and auto Zipalign optimized (set on timely event, not at every boot).
    - GPS localized (to Asia, mind you...for other region should tweak GPS.conf file)

    Not Working:
    - Google Chrome browser (due to surface_flinger service been disabled by default, if enabled through init boot chrome will work but also cause off-power battery charging error).

    Bugfix:
    - How to set Alarm: go to clock, add alarm, set ringtone first prior to checking the "turn alarm on checkbox", original ringtones were removed due to chinese filenaming, therefore setting alarm by directly checking the turn alarm on checkbox will cause FC.

    Disclaimer and notes:
    - As always DIYOR (Do It on Your Own Risk)...
    - Warranty Void.
    - DO NOT OTA UPDATE.
    - This ROM does not erase current data and apps, therefore wiping data and cache prior to flashing is recommended especially when upgrading from ICS, failure to do so will often lead to app FC. Restoring apps using any backup application should also restore apps only not apps+data.

    Download link:
    Warning: this is my local file-sharing, contains lots of a*d*f*l*y banner and those are not my doing, i'm taking no advantage of my sharing.
    Please set language to english just in case.

    I've successfully built CWM recovery in English for the K860. My sources are here: https://github.com/angelsl/cm-android_device_lenovo_stuttgart

    Rename the attached zip to update.zip and place it in /sdcard, and then install it using the stock recovery. You can also extract the recovery.img from the zip and flash it using fastboot.

    Repackaged/Debloated supercharged final JB 4.2.1 (K860_1_S_2_003_0020_130605)

    As promised, here's the latest version released yesterday - K860_1_S_2_003_0020_130605, repackaged with all fixes, gapps, root etc for everyone struggling here.

    The changes are:

    1. Debloated - Around 125MB free on system partition (before Gapps and my apps)
    2. Cleared preload partition
    3. Gapps latest pre-installed (Updated Google apps as on 6th June i.e.) - Google Music App, Gmail (the new version 4.5), Maps, Google Now, Search, Calendar etc. Everything on system partition to save space.
    4. Rooted out-of-the-box along with latest SuperUser apk.
    5. Added light weight GB keyboard (For basic setup purposes, to save space)
    6. USSD fix included
    7. Google Location fix included
    8. Market fix included
    9. Replaced default recovery with CWM (Meaning, you can directly go to CWM from option 3 in Mode A menu)
    10. Host file updated from ad-away (No ads)
    11. GPS.conf tweaks
    12. Browser and a cleanup utility put in (Boat browser, SystemCleanup_Intek)
    13. Replaced lenovo launcher with the newer version - 3.2.2
    14. Replaced Email and Exchange APKs with hacked version (which won't enforce PIN lock on corporate exchange network)

    Lenovo apps left are - LeUpgrade, Phone Manager (Not sure what its use) and LenovoStore

    How to flash:
    Come on; its a SZB, you know how to do that. Just brush (read flash ;)) it.

    What else to do
    Well, nothing!

    Please note that this will format data partition.

    Download Link (Google Drive): http://goo.gl/Lpo3Y

    Some intentional debloating (If you wish to use those features):
    - I had removed liblenovo_liveeffect_library.so from /system/lib/ as it was around 8 mb. It was necessary to have all latest google apps in system partition. It's used for special effects through the magic wand icon in the bundled camera app. If you wish to have those effects, extract this file into /system/lib with permissions rw-r--r--
    - Of course if there's not enough space on system partition for that file, Replace the autorun.iso in /system/media/ with the one attached, it will save you around 10-11mb in the system parition as it contains LeDrivers.msi (also attached), which you can keep instead in SD card (All files attached)
    - There's also an issue with adding APNs in some regions (which is an issue with chinese ROMs in general). To be able to add APNs, replace the attached telephony.db into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases with permissions rw-rw-rw-

    You are welcome.
