Thanks for this pino. How do I install it?

Just extract the "image" folder to your SD card, and follow the steps that our friend Belkrem posted on the topic "Guide To Lephone":

pull out the battery and unplug the reboot the phone while holding the right button and just wait. remember to delete the image folder from the flash card or you wond be able to flashboot to root your phone.

Remember to have a full charged battery.

 

[morz001]

i hope i do it right. still not confident to do it since there is a chance that the phone could get killed (dead) right?

Thank you Pino for this.
I hope they will release LEOS 2.0 soon.
I think you translated with google - but it's ok. I do the same thing when browsing on the chinese forum, however thank you.

I flahsed it yesterday and I can say that the firmware works fine.

It's much better them the S992 that I was using, it feels smoother.

All the Google Software is working too.

As all flashing processes there is a chance to do wrong and kill your device.

What I do to minimize the chances is:

- full charge the battery

- conect the phone to the USB cable, and conect the USB cable to a notebook, so the notebook can work as a "nobreak"

I flashed my Lephone 4 times already and never had problems.

Pino when i click Unicom 1 Download, the page shows "403 Forbidden". Do you have a direct download link for this? thanks for the help!

 

[Pino13]

Pino can you do a screen shot on how/where to download the latest firmware from the link that you provided? Thanks!

Just open the page using google translator to help you and click on the text that I circulated in red "Unicom 1 Download":

 

[morz001]

Pino both "unicom 1 download" and "1 telecom download" shows the forbidden page result. is it the same if i click the "backup download" link? there is a result in the "backup download" link though.

 

[Pino13]

Just tested here and all the 3 links are working.

They all start downloanding a file with exact same name and size, so I guess they are the same.

[Pino13]

The PC suite can be downloaded from Lenovo China website, here is the link:

For firmware S973 I have no link, but why would you like such an old firmware?!

 

[Rocky4u]

I would like to find an original US firmware for this phone....

have anyone tried? are all the functions supported?

I have no idea that that is an old firmware. I was just downloading all the links that belkrem provided. Wish me luck on the upgrade.

 

[morz001]

Pino, the pc suit seems to be not compatible with my computer. When I try to open the setup file the program goes to error and automatically close. Is it really necessary to have the pc suite to upgrade the firmware? thanks for the help.
