Lenovo Vibe P1 STOCK ROM, CUSTOM ROM, ROOTING, UNROOTING, RECOVERY

[pabgar]

Since the original Vibe P1 thread in Q&A became cluttered I propose to start a new topic devoted only to Vibe P1 ROM and customization

For general questions please apply to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/lenovo-vibe-p1-t3238360

Flashing with QFIL

First let your phone to be properly recognised by Windows:
1. Connect your Vibe to USB port
2. Upon popup on the phone "USB computer connection check "Media device" and "USB debugging" -
3. New disk "Lenovo suite" will appear in Windows.
4. Do not let autostart ( You can but it is not necessary as it will install whole Lenovo crap )
5. Explore the "Lenovo disk" and run "Lenovo usb driver"
6. After driver install finish reboot your PC ( not necessary - just to be shure everything is stable in Windows )
Environment preparation
1. Download and install QPST https://cloud.mail.ru/public/4yDt/6r6cDuGzK
2. Disconnect and power OFF you Vibe
3. Push Volume Up ( DO NOT PRESS POWER BUTTON ) and simultaneously connect Vibe to USB
4. If everything is OK VIBE will vibrate
5. Check your Windows Device Manager. In order to move further you HAVE TO find new serial port. Something like "Qualcomm......." It maybe Port 3 but may be other
Flashing
1. Unpack the ROM archive to any convenient folder on your HDD
2. Close ALL unnecessary programs running in background including antivirus ( providing constant data flow in flashing process is crucial )
3. Run QFIL in Windows


Disclaimer: Flashing recipe above was tested by me and fully working. This does not necessarily mean it will work for you. Flashing on your responsibility. Do not complain if you brick your phone.

I suspect that NFC hardware module in P1a42 is different then p1c72 - that is the reason.

 

[binh_hdda]

Please help me, how to use QPST ?
Thanks

"P1a42_S*_ROW" ROMs are for P1a42 this is why NFC don't work on P1c72 (thanks that NFC is only one broken)!

I know this would void warranty. I am not worried about that either. Can I go back to stock ROM if I need Lenovo OTA or other reasons. ?

Full stock rom P1a42_S152_160126_ROW ( NFC does not work still )

No wipe necessary if coming from previous P1a42 ROM

Does that mean flashing this ROM will not wipe the data? It will just install the rooted ROM on top of existing ROM without touching the Data?

TIA

Shure, if you will have your original ROM files to flash

Does that mean flashing this ROM will not wipe the data? It will just install the rooted ROM on top of existing ROM without touching the Data?

So happened in my case. I came from previous P1a42 ROM and all data and apps remained untouched.

I think even warranty won't void if you flash stock ROM back!

Thanks, do you know where can I get the P1a42 ROM? I just updated to the latest one yesterday on which the rooted ROM based. Could have done proxy stuff to sniff the url!!
