Yes...
So u manage to flash and boot the 131010 root??
- All files put to folder sdfuse
- off phone
- turn on press vol + and power
- in droidboot select sdupdate
- Enter update
- After update phone then reboot
- Wait at least 15min

Yup..managed to do it but all data gone since I actually flashed the phone using these steps:
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/1423-faq-%D0...%BA%D0%B5-k900/

That site really helps if a K900 gets bricked smile.gif

After I flash to 131010, it just takes about 2 mins to boot. After knowing its Android 4.2.1, I might go back to 'K900_1_S_2_019_0113_130903_DVT3_CPUsign_root'. The 130903 root is Android 4.2.2.

Btw, is there any release note for 131010?

Dude.....not sure why you are having so much trouble with the Viberom  blink.gif
Hope you have better luck with the original rom, do keep us updated smile.gif

Not only him..I feel that VibeRom is not stable yet, few issues I noticed:

1. GPS not stable. Sometimes, GPS is not able to locate my location. Then, if I restart the GPS application, sometimes the GPS did not run (there is no GPS icon at the top).

2. Phone gets laggy after about 5 hours. When I play games, it feels really laggy. The game loads fine, loads fast, but when I play it, can feel that it is lagging. Also, I encountered once where when I made a call, it lags so bad that the call screen didn't even show. I can't end calls!

3. Phone heats up faster. I'm using the ROW 131010, and I am surprised that the phone isn't as hot as before, when playing the same game.

4. It happened twice when when I unlock my phone, nothing is displayed. Just blank. Holding the power button doesn't help either. What I had to do is, press Vol+ + Power buttons, then restart from there =.=

Download a copy of the official rom first, you might not like viberom. After reverting to 131010.. I feel like I'm using my k900 nicely again

kekekeke i oso tried to flash now i oso stuck in lenovo screen mind sharing what u did following the russian site ?

where to get the xml ? just download the xml and flash it and then reflash the 131010 ROM ?

Use Google translate to translate the page:
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/1423-faq-%D0...%BA%D0%B5-k900/

Anyway, I'll explain what I did smile.gif

1. Download all the necessary software:
IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.2.0 - http://lenovo-forums.ru/Files/OS/K900/Inte...vSetup1.2.0.exe
iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.0.2 - http://lenovo-forums.ru/Files/OS/K900/Tool...Setup-1.0.2.exe
ManufacturingFlashTool_Setup_6.0.2 - http://lenovo-forums.ru/Files/OS/K900/Tool...Setup_6.0.2.exe

2. Install IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.2.0 (You can refer to the Russian website to see the screenshots, installation is straight forward)

3. Install iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.0.2 (You can refer to the Russian website to see the screenshots, installation is straight forward BUT take note at the last step of installation where it asks you to connect your phone to your PC, and do a restart so that the driver the installed properly. Once you do that, you should see a popup on your PC saying that a new 'CloverviewPlus' device has been installed successfully.)

4. Install ManufacturingFlashTool_Setup_6.0.2.

5. Run the Manufacuring Flash Tool, to go File > Settings. Follow the settings in this screenshot:
user posted image

6. Disconnect K900 from PC and power off K900. At the Manufacturing Flash Tool, navigate to File > Open and select the xml file of the ROM you want to flash. (I've tried an xml of a rooted ROM, and it fails. If you have no original ROM, download this: http://lenovo-forums.ru/Files/OS/K900/K900...Usign_full.rar)

7. After you have selected the xml, the Manufacturing Flash Tool should state that flashing is ready. Then, just connect your K900 to your PC and the flash should start automatically.

8. Once successfully flashed, disconnect K900 from PC and start your phone. The ROW I provided is 130602, super old one, but can update to latest ROW. From here, I flashed to 131010 rooted and all goes smoothly smile.gif


I tried using the xFSTK method (from xda forum), but I always get "SOC device is disconnected". The Manufacturing Flash Tool is automated, hence much simpler. I think this process is similar to SonnyCooL's method smile.gif

Try my method, make sure you install the drivers properly. Also, when you want to flash, make sure the device is OFF, then connect the USB to it. Once you connect the USB, K900 will automatically switch on and flashing should start.

Btw any1 successfully flash the 131010 root?
Sounds like many gets bootloop.

Me! Successful but need to go through the unbrick process ><

Maybe it's because we flash from VibeRom? Could it be the reason? Last time when we use VibeRom, we had to flash the VibeRom inb file, then flash the system.img.gz. But now, we just flash directly to 131010 system.img.gz. What I think is, the proper process should be flashing back to the original inb, then only flash to 131010 system.img.gz. Just my 2 cents smile.gif

There's boot.img though. I downloaded the same 131010 rooted ROM, still missing the boot.bin file, so I guess its normal..

the original charger given by Lenovo has an output of 1A. its too slow to charge my K900 (after it is completely discharged).

i think those iPad chargers do work perfect for fast charging, right?

Hmm mine is 2A output
