Un rooted
Hi,
I wanted to install a custom on my lenovo s920 as well, but after I've done all the wiping steps and installing the rom it says:
Root access is missing. Root Device?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
- No
- No
- No
- No
- Yes - Root device (/system/xbin/su)
- No
- No
- No
- +++++Go Back++++
----------------------------------------------------------
And then if I click any option it shuts down. I think the phone is un rooted some how during the cwm process.
Help would be appreciated.

Vibeui v2.0 1427 dev s920
I found this rom from this link and now using it. Still has no big problem on it, smooth, colorful and flat theme make it really eye-catchy. Battery backup wasn't better than stock rom. Based on KitKat 4.4.2, very good score reach on Antutu Benchmark, and I try some HD game running smooth.
Here is the link : VIBEUI V2.0 1427 DEV S920
You should based on CN Rom before flash it through CWM/TWRP Recovery. :good:

if im not mistaken if ur using vibeui rom its not root rom. you'll need to flash root 4.4 from cwm
that because u use the wrong version of CWM/ TWRP. re read carefully the instructed cmw/ twrp version, needed to install the rom
[/QUOTE]
ROW version and CN version using different files. This is the files i used for vibeui CN base rom

9Hello,
I own a Lenovo S920.
I bought it in China and re flashed the firmware of it to a Russian modified.
I'd like to share with you the process that located in the Russian forum:
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/1346-кастомная-русская-прошивка-для-lenovo-s920-lenovo-forums/
Requirements:
1. USB VCOM Driver http://lenovo-forums.ru/Files/OS/P770/usb_driver_SW_Rom_P770.zip
2. Lenovo USB Driver http://lenovo-forums.ru/Files/OS/P770/LenovoUsbDriver_1.0.1.exe
3. SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119_EDR http://lenovo-forums.ru/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=1682
Maybe I'll translate the process later.
Also I found on the Chinese forum a OVERSEAS firmware (S920_ROW_S110_20130515) - updated to "S920_ROW_S114_130626" after installation.
Can be downloaded here: http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=541466&uk=2335146322
The archive password is "bbs.lenovomobile.com"
Installed it. (changed the EBR2 file and flashed again - now using it for everyday use)
Re-partition of the internal storage
I found that the internal memory is parted into Internal Storage and USB Storage - seems useless when inserting an uSD card (the USB storage is sdcard0) and also confusing.
I found a way to re-part the memory so that the Internal Storage became 3.6GB (left 18MB for thr USB Storage because if it's 0MB the phone stop seeing the uSD card). After 1st boot I selected the "SD storage" as "default write disk".(and changed it in all applications ex. Camera)
This is done by editing the HEX of the EBR2 file (I used the OVERSEAS firmware).
Reference (on Russian): http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=383013&st=0#entry16443051
Using this method it's also possible to change all the partitions (system,cache etc.) sizes.
I don't see any added value in it so I only edited the Data partition.
this is my EBR2 and Checksum.ini, before trying anything have a copy of the original EBR2 (as an option to flash back the original partitions)

Rooting
(translation from the link: http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/1700-root-права-lenovo-s920/ )
1. Download the file: http://lenovo-forums.ru/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=3257
2. Copy the apk file to the SDCARD
3. Install the apk file (on the internal memory)
4. Start the app after the installation
5. Choose SuperUser or SuperSU (the writer advise to choose SuperSU)
6. Press "Boromir"
7. (from me) start the SuperSU app and make binaries update.
Done.
Next thing I'd like to do is change the functionality of long press on home button (switch it with the left button)
I'm new in the field of helping others (although I've experience with several smartphones) - so please be patient.
NOTE: Everything that you do with your device using my directions may harm your device and I'm not responsible for that.3for all the FM radio lovers, and as our beloved Lenovo S920 stock radio app is boring and have no RDS
here is a radio application taken from a rom i found on an Indonesian forum http://www.kaskus.co.id/
the rom is ported from Xperia C
this app has a visualizer, RDS, and you can choose Radio region!!
you can install it as a normal application, you don't have to be rooted, and you will still have stock FM app.
enjoy

First of all - you should edit the EBR2 before flashing the rom.
What I did is:
1. Backup all the apps with Titanium backup to SDCARD (recheck few times that the selected storage of Titanium backup is the External SDCARD) - if you select in settings->storage->SD storage as a default write disk then your External SDCARD will probably be sdcard0 (otherwise it will be sdcard1...and you should change the location of backups in settings of Titanium backup).
2. Made a copy of the Overseas ROM
3. Changed the parameter CHECKSUM_SWITCH from 1 to 0 (in the file Checksum.ini)
4. Edited the EBR2 (I'll upload later today my EBR2 that making the Internal Storage to be 3.6GB and the USB storage to be 18.59MB)
5. Flashed the changed ROM
6. Changed the Default Write Disk (settings->storage) to SD storage
7. Recovered apps (using Titanium Backup)
*** pay attention that there're applications (like camera) that it's default storage is still the 18MB (changed it in settings)
