Wish I could find a place in JB selling this phone at this price (RM470). So far, the lowest AP set I manage to get is RM550.

Any bro from JB have idea where to find a good deal like this?

I'm tried to flash via TWRP but hit an error...
I believe bcoz of my current rom is javum rom (not stock)...
Will flash stock rom 1st before proceed again...

Also read from p780 forum, to install vibe rom, must from CN rom, cannot from ROW rom...
Still waiting confirmation on this...

For those who buy AP set from DirectD and wishes to upgrade to Kitkat, you must follow all steps mentioned above. Must flash CN Rom -> TWRP recovery -> KitKat.

Mine original rom is VIBE, but i was unable to flash the kitkat if following just 13-22.

Then i just flash to a CN rom, flash TWRP recovery and flash the kitkat rom. Btw there is a new rom for kitkat http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-s650-vibeui/ .

and dont forget to backup your room using mtkdroid tools before begin flashing.

I think ur default VIBE doesn't has item 5,6 and 9
If aldy got, should be no prob to start from 13-22
Correct me
