Try download this file http://www.needrom.com/mobile/vibeui_v1-5_1413_dev_s939_nk_5c2c_gapps_cwm/ and flash using SP Flash tool .
Oh okay got it, i will try with the new link that u provided below, hopefully wont have any major bug :laugh:
Downloaded and Installed. During the first few flash there was some error message. But managed to install. Looks OK so far. Except for some CHINESE Apps. Is there any Google apps out there that can remove these CHINESE characters from the phone.:laugh:
U can use MTK Droid Tool to remove some of chinese apps,download MtkDroidTools v2.5.3,connect ur phone,go to root,backup,recovery and seleted delete china..or u just download Rom tool box pro...and remove any apps that u dun want but b carefull..if u remove some of lenovo security...the next u reboot ur phone..u will have error SECURITY PROBLEM...so to make it safe..dun delete..just freeze all chinese apps....

It seems TWRP and CWM Recovery have lots of problems with the S939. Im using Carliv Recovery and its painlessly easy. Reflash via SP Flash Tool your recovery to Carliv Recovery and it should go away...

factory kitkat
Yesterday I buy new s939 and had to change factory Indonesian language to english.
out of box factory Specs: android 4.4.2 Baseband version
MOLY.WR8.W1 315.MD.WG.MP.V34, 2014/02/24 14:43
Build number VIBEUI_V1.5_1419_5_ST_S939
I tried genius, vroot/iroot, framaroot, genius root, rootmaster and kingroot, none work.
Only kingroot allows me root but I have to re-root after reboot.
While rooted, I made backup with mtk droid root & tool v2.5.3.
I also tried readback rom method with sp tools, always stops @ 800mb, nearly 75% completed because of usb disconnect. I tried this 4 times already.
How do I root???
Since one clicks and readback method didn't work for me, what is most stable rom & method you suggest that will work with my device without sacrificing functionality???
Since I have backup with mtk tool backup, am I safe from bricking phone, just in case?

What u need is :

2 - SP Flash Tool v5.1348.00 or latest
3 - Original Lenovo Recovery
4 - CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4
5 - VIBEUI_V1.5_1411_8_DEV_S939_NK_W_5C44 Rom (Now have 1413 update)
- First ur phone version must be in version S125,S126 or S129.
- If ur phone already flash CWM Recovery,u must flash back to original lenovo Recovery using SP Flash Tool,this is because if u want to upgrade to vibe ui 4.4.2..u need original Lenovo Recovery,cannot use CWM,dun't why.
- After that,Rename VIBEUI_V1.5_1411_8_DEV_S939_NK_W_5C44.zip to update.zip and put in ur internal or external memory.
- Boot in ur Lenovo Recovery by press Vol +,- and power,selected update package,then let ur phone update by it self,at 50% its like freeze but wait in 1 minute it will continue.
- And right now im sure ur phone in 4.4.2,remember,in this version..u cannot root ur phone using any one click root like Vroot,even the latest one also cannot,i already try,but i found 1 way to root this version.
What u need to root version 4.4.2 and instaled Gapps :
1 - SP Flash Tool v5.1348.00 or latest
2 - CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4
3 - UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip file
4 - gapps-kk-20140105-signed file
- After u Succes upgrade to 4.4.2,flash ur recovery to CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 by using SP Flash Tool
- Boot into CWM Recovey.
- Installed 2 file,first UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip and second gapps-kk-20140105-signed (just ignore any problem)
- Reboot ur system
- At first Startup,ur phone will update package,its for Gapps.
- After that u will set ur Google Play Store id.
- After Finish,ur phone will have all Gapps for 4.4.2 and Rooted with Superuser,no need to root using Vroot anymore and need to replace that root app..
Sorry for my bad english,so this is the way that i used,hope can help u too..
*Cannot Post Link For UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip and gapps-kk-20140105-signed coz im new in this XDA..so try google ur self.
*One more things,ur phone will be like factory reset,so backup ur file first
*After done all,installed Rom Toolbox Pro to remove any Chinese App.1
im already find my own way to replace chinese superuser (vRoot) with SuperSU
1.Download SuperSU from Play Store
2.Open Lucky Patcher, move SuperSU to system/app then phone will reboot
3.Open Root Explorer, set RW and find Superuser.apk at system/app then delete
4.At system/app find eu.chainfire.supersu.apk and rename to Superuser.apk
5.After rename, click to install Superuser.apk from Root Explorer. After finish install then open it.
6.it will popup ask to update, select CWM install then phone will reboot
7.After that, phone already have SuperSU.
im already try at 2 phone Lenovo S939 (me and my friend phone)..
u can try it..
