I found instructions to root the A390 here.
Step 1: Download and unzip the three attached files.
Step 2: To install the drivers for the computer, had to reboot the computer (Win8 64x) and disable driver signing. Then turn off the phone, connect to the computer, and run the InstallDriver.exe. After the driver installation is complete, disconnect the phone. The phone only makes the pre-loader interface available for a couple seconds when the USB cable is first plugged into the computer.
Step 3: Open the folder with the flash tool, and run Flash_tool.exe. Click the scatter-loading button and select "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" from the recovery folder you downloaded. The recovery check box should automatically be populated with the TWRP.img file.
Step 4: Click download button and select "yes" to ignore the dialogue box. The flash software will now wait till it sees the MT6577 interface from the phone. With the phone off. Plug the USB cable into the phone and then into the computer. The flashing software will automatically load the recovery image to the phone. The flash-tool will show the power status bar red to yellow then wait for the message "OK" green is successful, then disconnect the phone, the TWRP recovery has been flashed. If the flash does not detect the phone when you plug it in, check your driver installation from step 2.
Step 5: Access recovery mode by pressing volume up + home + power key until the phone vibrates or it boots into recovery mode, then let go. This time open Team Win Recovery. You now have TW recovery and you can now root your device. (Make android backup first before rooting you phone)
Rooting Lenovo Ideaphone A390
After boot in recovery it will ask you to install superSU just drag/swipe to install. After you reboot the phone, you will have to have internet access to download the GUI. You can download the GUI from the play store, or download a zip which you can flash from recovery.
You are now rooted!
Good Luck

Voice Calls
hello! Recently, I bought a Lenovo A390 and i think that it has a problem with the voice calls. During the voice call, the person who i´m talking doesn´t hear me no more and end the call. I think the phone have a problem with the sensor because the screen flash when i put it on the ear. Anyone knows what i´m talking about? Thanks!
Just can not send the recovery file to my Lenovo A390 using SP Flashtool
Hello,
I have installed the correct drivers because I did manage to flash my ZTE v889s phone and send a recovery.file to it.
But with my Lenovo A390 I have tried over a week and nothing will work. After SP Flashtool finds the phone, it gives an error message after 4 seconds, saying:
BROM_ERROR: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)
I am sure this must be some kind of locking mechanics on the phone, and not a problem with the drivers, since they are working with other Android devices. Do you know what could be the problem?
The phone is suposed to be rooted, I am using SuperSU, that I installed using the USB cable on the device.
All your good advice is highly appreciated!
Thanks!

My Lenovo A390 has problems with its ANDROID CORE AND ALL THE ANDROID COMPONENTS!!!!
Hi all. I got a rooted Lenovo A390 and I downloaded ROM Toolbox LITE. I used build.prop editor. I accidentally edited the vm growth heapsize from 16 to 10. then after rebooting the phone, everything didn't work anymore. The android phone, android core, google services, gapps, and everything else stopped working and the notification bar dissapeared and nothing in the phone will open. Does somebody know how to reverse it without using the apps in the phone since nothing would open?
ultimate bootloop
i think i got a dead end, just trying (desperately) to fix my phone,
the situation is :
usb debugging is off
stucks at boot
the recover is not functional (just an android logo and red exclamation point
can't install the drivers
how can i fix this? or is it really dead?
thank to those who will help

Hello everybody , to all mates who bricked their phones by upgrading or using custom roms
I had soft brick my phone 3 times before and i read all soft brick methods here in our lovely forum, if u can my steps you will recover your phone 100%.
Note: remove your sd card and put it in PC and upload a custom rom in it, then bring it back to phone.
Lets go
1-]first of all these for unlocked boot loader.
2- after your phone die, connect to wall charger, at first will be no response (no red led) its OK don't be afraid.
3- charge it till red led on (it may takes many hours first time it need from me 22 hours, but usually need 10-15 hours).
4- now boot loops will start , its OK you are almost done believe me, prepare flash-tool in PC but do not select any thing.
5- while phone boot loop connect phone to your PC and do soft reset, ie hold power bottom and up volume bottom your phone will vibrate once now let power bottom and keep pushing up volume bottom (the phone is connected to PC as we said), blue led will appear which mean you are in fast-boot mode.
6- in flash tool select fast boot mode, a dialogue will appear select now (Select kernel To Flash), a window will appear choose from it JB_211_Kernel_twrp2.5.elf kernel or any CWM support kernel and flash it.
7- you will see the dialogue of flashing which till you that flashing is OK..
8 - now select reboot system from flash tool, your phone will restart.
9- enter recovery and select wipe all (advanced) system, data, cash and davlik cash, only leave internal memory and sd card
10- now select back and choose install and select any custom rom you have put in sd card and install it, after that select reboot system and you will go :laugh: its working believe me the phone will boot.
11- if you want to flash it with stock rom, after you boot recovery select power option and select power off (do not choose reboot) your phone will turn off, now prepare flash tool in PC and select your stock rom, wait till a pop up message appear to connect phone, connect your phone in flash mode ( volume down key and connect phone to PC) and flash stock rom .
Guys it really works do not ever give up try and try and you will recover your phone.
Please guys any one try this tell me the result I will help as I can.

Hi All,
My phone was shutting itself down yesterday for no reason, so I boot into TWRP, thinking I should do something there, maybe restore to a previous backup, or wipe cache, etc...
I was in a hurry to go to the game (GO WARRIORS!), so I was just trying to get the phone ready for the game...
I tried the "Regular" wipe, and when it didn't work, I went into advanced wipe, and chose system wipe and REBOOT the phone (BAD IDEA!)....
so now my phone won't go past the SONY logo, because there is no system to boot into
What can be done here? Flashtool won't recognize my phone, and kept telling me I need to install the correct driver, and I can't boot into recovery.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
Try connecting your phone to Sony PC companion it has all the device drivers. It may not recognize your phone when you connect it but proceed to the update/renew tab and follow the on screen prompts.
Nope ,won't connect, it turns on for like 1 second when the cable is plugged in... then it turns off again
is there any other way?
Connect it with fastboot.
To do this, hold the volume up button while connecting it with your PC, the LED will go blue.
Now you can either flash a rom via flashtool, repair it with PC Companion, or emma.
But since you have TWIRP, I would guess PC companion won't help you. You will likely also whipe all your backups stored on the phone by doing this, unless they're on the SD card, but that's better than having no phone at all.
,,,
1) install flash tool by androxyde
2) open the flash tool.
3) click thunder button and select flashmode.
4) connect your phone via usb (if message: device status no found [is ok])
5) press reset button 30 seconds( 1 vibrate and again 3-4 vibrates)
6) and now your phone is connected via flashmode.
7) Download original rom and put in any folder. [PM ME IF NOT HAVE ORIGINAL ROM .ftf]
8) Select "any" folder in source folder firmware selector
8) Press flash and wait.

I was able to flash "C6506_10.6.A.0.454 R2E_Customized US" to the phone, however ,after the process is done, it still won't get past the SONY screen.
Xperia shows underneath SONY logo this time though, so something was done to the phone.
ohhh
go to service gsm, maybe your motherboard/sd memory is die.

If you use Windows 8, you must disable driver signature before installing flashtool, for this, hold shift key while restart your computer, enter in the proper settings and choose "disable signature driver", after this, install flashtool, then go to its folder and find folder driver and install the Xperia Z family driver. After these processes your phone will be recognized by flashtool

Does your phone start to home screen when you put in AC charging from wall socket?
I think you mean Flashmode...If you didn't try flashmode.Install needed drivers from flashtool folder.Connect you phone in flashmode (volume down+cable into).disconnect it.
load ftf-exclude any .TA files if you r not locked to any carrier.--click on 'No final verification'.
flash and connect when asked when displays .Hope it helps.Keep us updated.

Hi there,
I just updated P8000 via OTA update and after downloading the Update, the phone restarted and stops at the elephone boot Logo (about 30 min )!!
I did 5 Restarts but every time it hangs at the boot logo...
In the past i did no other updates or flashing ROMS.. nothing!
When i press "Volume Up" and "Power" to Start, i get three Options:
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Using Recovery Mode leads to: Symbol Android Robot with "No Order" (in german : "Kein Befehl")
Using Fastboot Mode leads to: Nothing (Recovery Menue stays)
Using Normal Boot leads to: restart and hanging at Elephone Boot Logo
So, I am running out of Options... any ideas?
Cheers, Albert

The Hardware of P8000 is pretty cool, but the Software is "§$§"%§""!$%
When you go to recovery mode and get the the android robot symbol. Press again Vol up + Power until you enter to recovery. Make a 3 wipe (data factory , cache and dalvink). Reboot and uninstall the El loader. Use another Loader instead of El Loader
i had the same problem. (in English NO COMMAND) I only flash Eragon ROM again. Sometimes you have to repeate.
AL 6677 - ELEPHONE MUST BE TURN-OFF !!!!!!! and CONNECT USB CABLE REPEATEDLY !!!
After that everything goes according to instructions

Hi there, sorry for the revival !
But i got the same problem: OTA update, fail, P8000 blocked on boot screen.
I tried wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache -> nothing changed, still boot screen blocked...
Then, i tried to use flash tool, but, the phone isn't booting, so my pc isn't recognizing the phone..
I'm not even sure that I correctly installed the drivers..
Can i use flash tool even if the phone is blocked to boot screen?
I downloaded this ROM: stock-rom-elephone-p8000-20150907-android-5-1 (this is my first post i can't post URL..)
Because i got some issues with my phone and support told me to try it.
But when i follow the tutorial, launching "donwload" and connecting the phone, nothing happening..
The phone turn on, and display recharging logo, and flash tool still wainting.
Recovery mode -> "No command", Volume up + power is working, i used it to wipe datas
But at the moment, i'm still blocked, since 2 days, i dont know what to do
Can someone help me?
Thank you by advance, i hope my english isn't so bad

Yes you can use SPFlash tool evenif the phone stucks in the boot screen. Simply switch the phone off, start SPFlash tool and then connect the phone to usb.
If you follow the instructions from elephone, then your phone should working again: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VofQ13wvdpo

Hi, and thx for the help.
The driver is correctly installed now, i had to allow unsigned drivers in windows parameters.
So, i followed the tutorial, again.
I configured SP flash tool, clicked download, and then connected powered off P8000 with USB.
But, again, the phone displays recharging logo, and flash tool still waiting...
The phone is recharging so the USB is working, so i don't know how to make my PC detect the phone......
Is there a way or a thing that i missed?
thank you..
EDIT: i finally got a timeout error from flashtool..
I missed something, but what !? i can't remove P8000 battery, is there somthing to do to get it detected by windows?
Like a boot mode, or a magic formula... i'm open
For MTK Driver installation:
Did you follow skeletons Guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/guide-windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-t3264884
I'm sorry to say, that I do not have any experience with windows installation, this problem, because SPFlash tool performes on my 64bit Linux very well, without any driver trouble.
Cheers
Hi,
I'm on windows 8.
I used SP_driver_v2.0, that is an .exe
it's the only driver tips gived in most of tutorial
I allowed unsigned drivers installation, and i correctly installed it.
I tried too use flashtool before and after restarting the PC-> no changes
Flashtool doesnt detect the phone
I start getting crazy..
I have repaired mine, so i'll share

Hi there,
I just updated P8000 via OTA update and after downloading the Update, the phone restarted and stops at the elephone boot Logo (about 30 min )!!
I did 5 Restarts but every time it hangs at the boot logo...
In the past i did no other updates or flashing ROMS.. nothing!
When i press "Volume Up" and "Power" to Start, i get three Options:
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Using Recovery Mode leads to: Symbol Android Robot with "No Order" (in german : "Kein Befehl")
Using Fastboot Mode leads to: Nothing (Recovery Menue stays)
Using Normal Boot leads to: restart and hanging at Elephone Boot Logo
So, I am running out of Options... any ideas?

So the simple way to solve it is flashing the latest stock elephone p8000 ROM, which you can find on google easly
1. as described on other forums, you have to install the adnroid drivers, then get the sp flash tool, and have an un-zipped stock elephone p8000 ROM.
2. if you are stuck at bootloop, do the following to power off the phone so you can flash the ROM
1. Long press power button until power off
2.Do it fast--Press volume Up and then hold power button
3. choose recovery (volume up choose menu, volume down enter)
4. android logo with red triangle is displayed( "no command")
5. hold power button and press volume up
You're in recovery mode
3. select power off
4. open the SP flash tool >go to download tab>opne "scatter loading"( you will find it in the Folder where you unzipped the stock elephone p8000 ROM, if you have more folders there, chose "firmware" folder)
5. on the left side, under scatter loading, you will find a "pull-down" tab - it will be written "download" chose "firmware upgrade" or "upgrade"
6. start the process, then connect your elephone p8000 (it must be powere off) via usb cable to the PC, the process will start,and in less then 5 Minutes you have a factory new Elephone p8000 with the latest good update
7. WATCH OUT- it will erase all your data, absolutely all your data on the phone, except SIM and SD card.
Hope it helped, if not, feel free to ask me =)
Hello,
I have similar problem. Bought P8000 5 days ago. Did update today. Bricked. Stuck at logo ... I tried to flash but SP flush tool but the process isn't starting. When I downloaded ROM I received long list as on the screenshot: kaczorowscy.name/Screenshot.png
I have ubuntu - I see lsusb and dmesg see the phone (it is shut down from recovery menu) but maybe I am missing something ....
Ok here is what id did:
1. Get SP flashtool
2. get newest stock ROM
3. Shut down phone through android recovery menu (start phone with holding volume up, select recovery mode, wait for dead android, hold volume up and unblock button for 3 sec.)
4. Open SP flashtool - use "format all + download" of ROM (unzip and select scatter file from rom) - click start
5. Connect shut downed phone
6. Dot OK! from flashtool
PS. Flashing removed IMEIs - they are both written on the battery - you need to use android service menu to check them with special codes and reboot the phone.
Thanks ALL! :good:
Fix - Recovery Mode

When I was trying to root my p8000 I couldn't flash a custom recovery, fortunately I discovered that to access recovery on stock android you need to go to the screen with the android and "no command"/"no order" text and hold down Vol+Up and Power for 3~ seconds and then release power, this will boot you into recovery mode, If wiping cache/factory reset isn't enough "fastboot flash recovery <image>.img" SHOULD work now
hope this helped
Hi guys,
Some people including me faced Hard brick issue with LG G4, which has now two solutions. the first is temporary, i discovered it and it involves using an SD card flashed with Original EMMC dump ( i tested it with H815 ands H811) , the second needs advanced hardware, equipment and soldering skills ( JTAG) .
The solution that i want to explore is trying to revive the phone with the SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/unbrick-lg-g4-h811-9008-qualcomm-t3456417
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/unbrick-lg-g4-h815-9008-qualcomm-t3452853
The H811 dump that i made has TWRP recovery and unlocked bootlloader, so if someone know how to help that would be awesome.
How ???, its very simple. I dont have very good UNIX architecture skills , but if the SoC successfully booted from the SD card. We could see if it detects the EMMC memory ( with parted or with LS command). I personally Tried to brow /dev/block directory from TWRP i hoped to find MMCBLK1 or something but that was unsuccessful , im pretty sure the TWRP or the Soc Does not mount it automatically .
I really dont know How , but i'm very Sure that there is a Solution headed that way , So if some one is Good with Unix architecture and can find a way to soft Flash the EMMC from TWRP ( installed in the SD card ) it would be very Nice
hi,i tried the sd card method...it boots but immediately gives me secure boot error (1006).
i have an h815 bl locked

You can fix fastboot mode with this way.
1. First you need to download stock rom that your phone supported. extract laf.img file from rom and copy it into fastboot directory
2. download LG Flash Tool and make it ready
3. open flash tool and load firmware and dll that support your model.
open command prompt and make sure you in fastboot directory where the fastboot and related files are stored.
Run following commands.
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
fastboot reboot

Hurry up, now you need to start flash with lg flash tool, if device does not start into download mode. remove battery and insert again, press and hold Vol Up btn and plug USB cable it will boot into download mode. and your device com port should be 41, if not change it in device manager. and start LG Flash tool to load stock rom. once it finish loading rom your device will start and will show you factory test 1, 2, or 3. if it stuck there more than 3-5 minutes. reboot your phone. now you will have welcome screen.
I hope this will work with supported models.

lol, when you see a screen with 0% and a usb connected image, that mean your battery dead
why not just try to charge your phone? or replace a battery?

Hello, well after what happened I thought the same and went to buy another battery and when they tried it did not work, I repeat, not fastboot, no logo, no recovery, only a small vibration without screen, it is not detected by the PC in any of its modes as dead, the detail is that this happened after restarting when I had flashed bootloader N, rom V30, magiistic, I gave it restart and it did not turn on again, so I discard that it is hardware .
I think the problem was that I flashed the bootloader with full aboot, that gave me hardbrick I was told in a forum in Spanish I leave the link I hope you help me thanks

Hey MichaelCV
I have exactly the same problem with my LG G4 H815p. I was running [ROM][H815] H-ROM G4 NOUGAT [v29a] _ LG G4. The phone was up and running and last night I flashed the "LG-H815_29a_Modem_and_Bootloader.zip" to try resolve an issue I was having with the mobile data indicator not showing. I flashed the zip in TWRP, rebooted the phone and now it is bricked. I have exactly the same symptoms as you. Windows and FWUL does not see the phone, no matter what combination of keypressed etc that I try.
Lets hope we find a solution here for it.
Chris
