Hi there,
I've been through your guide with no success!
I own a Lenovo S920, which was pre-rooted with cwm pre-installed
when it was delivered to me.
I followed your first steps installing busybox and usb vcom driver with success.
Now when I try to run the mtk droid tools, nothing happens.
The adb shell command outputs error: device not found.
Also there is another wierd behaviour in the cwm recovery. When I try to backup it outputs error: cannot mount /data
Any idea what maybe wrong about it?
Hi
Are you already enable usb debugging? Most of the problem device not found because usb debugging was not enable, go to system setting->developer mode -> usb debugging please enable it and look if mtk droid tool can found your device
USB debugging is enabled..
I just figured it out. I was missing the Lenovo USB Driver.
I download it from a russian forum, I installed it along with the Vcom driver
and everything worked out just fine!
Maybe you should add a small not for Lenovo smartphones regarding
the lenovo usb driver.
Nice guide. Thank you very much…
PS: I think that you should write another one on how to restore an mtk device
after the backup!
Hi
Thank you, i will write on how to restore ot backup soon. And thank you for your augestion. Thank you

Hi Andy….how to downgrade kitkat to jelly bean for lenovo s860??..

why i can not install driver… using usb vcom driver…
hi,
while connecting with pc open device manager, this USB VCOM will pop up just only 2 second then disappear so before disappear right click it and select update driver.
yup i already do that…. but error.. still unknown device.. and i try to update drive by manual… it still error…. so is there another options….?
hi,
contact me on email for further.
I cant find usb vcom driver in device manager. any ways to find it?
Open device manager while connecting your device, the name is usb preloader not usb vcom it will pop up for 2 second than dissepear before dissepear right click it and point it to usb vxom extracted folder.
can u tell me the path to show it? i still cant see any difference after 2 second…
Maybe this video can give you a clue http://youtu.be/r3N-SCjWoCs
Still the ssame, nothing happens. is it no need to install the usb vcom driver? i just extract it coz i cant find ways to install.
If you not install usb vcom driver than flash tool and mtk droid tool will not detect your device, are already enable usb debugging? It need battery remove when you wanna install usb vcom driver, are it already remove?
I have already enable it. Also removed the battery it still wont shown up…
Then sorry maybe you got mulfunction usb devices or usb cable, or maybe your windows need to re install. Because it impossible your pc cannot detect your phone after it xonnected. Pleade check your pc or cable first.

my computer only show up searching for device but cannot install the mtk preloader. I dont think is my driver problem as my driver is already up to date.
Your pc will not found if you do automatically that why i am say that you must do it manual after connect open your device manager right click and point to usb vcom driver folder
hi, when i root my phone, it says error: su inaccessible. what does it means?
It means mtk droid tool cannot access your su binary, maybe because not properly rooted
I just updated my phone few days ago to kitkat via the official system upgrade. I bought my phone from China. And I could not root my phone at all. I have used all the apps and the phone dont let me to root it.. Its also in chinese version after I update it. I dont understand chinese…. plzz help.. regret updating it TT
Android 4.4.2 cannot be root using framaroot, vroot, or etc when root it you need to change lenovo standard recovery with custom recovery then install root from there. Yes update vibe ui 2.0 remove all google applications and change your multilanguage rom with cn firnware. Just make backup current rom and IMEI first then change your rom to row / international version
Hi, I already at the backup process but why it takes so long to finish ??
Hi,
Stuck or not? If not just wait for 30 minutes before cancel the process sometime it take 45 minutes to finish the backup. If stuck than check error message on left side MTK droid tool
no error , i already wait about 2-3 hours ~ keep waiting ?
hi,
could you contact me on hang out and send me the screen shot from your MTK droid tool view
Hi
Should i do that with my device off por on????
Muy computer recognice muy device but i can't install drivers.
You should do this with device is turn on and enable usb debugging.
If you have lenovo cd driver try to install it, to install your device driver.
the other question is already ok, thank you.
But now, i follow this guide, and when i have to click on root button… i do that, and i can't do anything else because it say "ERROR: adbd file not to install".
What i'm soing wrong???
i try rootchecke and it say i'm root.
adb is some program that can communication between device and computer, for installing ADB on your computer please refer to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979, then try again.
I follow the guide to intall ADB on my computer… but, happen the same… ERROR: adbd file not to intall.
I have Windows vista… can be that the problem??
Tried run using administrator privilege because windows vista like windows7 need administrator to install something. Hope you success
I run ADBD driveras with administrator privilege , MTKtools aswell…. but … happen the same…
I am suspect with windows vista, because i never use it. I am using windows 7 and windows xp and never have problem installing adb server. Maybe tried this on the windows search box type cmd, if you found the result right click on it and run as administrator. Your using administrator user with right click run as administrator is a different think. On cmd type adb kill server, then type adb devices while connect your device
i want to download BusyBox from google play but google play cannot detect my new device(chinese version).how can i download it
As far as i know when your email match with email on the google play then google play with recognize your device. Try search busybox from play store on your device, if not maybe you need wait for sometime for google play to recognize your device
when i install busybox on my s660 it display error root acess not detected.
yes busybox required rooted device, look at requirements number 1, it need rooted mobile devices.
so please root your devices first, please look at this for reference http://bit.ly/1wlTaEZ

Happy New Year Andy,
I'm having trouble while my device (Lenovo S850) connected to usb, MTKdroidTools couldn't detect my device. I've also installed the VCOM driver, it appears 'MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port' instead of that shown in your picture above, it only appears for a second and gone. I did turn off my device before doing this. I notice it began to charging mode once I connect the device to usb. I tried this on two computers with the same problems. Is it because the existing of the battery? But my battery built in.
Any solution bro?
Thanks!
Hi,
Devices not recognize by mtkdroidtool usually because you not enable usb debugging, so make sure that usb debugging already enable and cable connection is a good condition.

Hi Andy
It started 30 min. ago… looks OK, green line and everything, but… can it take so long? Might I have done something wrong?
Hi,
Backup full system may take 45-60 minutes to finish, it recommend to you to factory reset your device first before do full backup because when restoring withoutfactory reset it possibilitu that you device boot loop because of application that installed on your device
So, shall I stop it and go for factory reset? … this will leave me with the Vibe 2.0 UI, which is what I don't want…
Wait a little longer like 15 minutes again, if still same try to factory reset then try again. If do factory reset please remove all sim and sd card and backup data to computer first, lost forever once it erase
hello andy
i have done every thing you said in this tutorial and everything went fine with the root.
when clicking the backup button on the Root, Backup, Recovery tab, it pops up a message saying :
system and userdata won't backup! to continue ?
(FYI: i tried to continue, when the program asked me to pack the backup and i confirmed, it poped up a message saying failure to pack
what am i doing wrong ?
hi,
yes this is guide is general backup full ROM for MTK devices, try to explorer the MTK Droid Tool there is a menu to backup your NVRAM folder that store your IMEI. you can also made custom recovery using MTK droid Tool, so please explorer the tool.
packing is like zip, do it won't effect when it fail, the important is system files, it recommended that you do factory reset first before do this backup because sometime application file that store on /data give error on backup process. just make sure your device already rooted install root checker at google play
Hi ,
i am using windows 8.1 and can't find media tech USB VCom in my device manager
For windows 8, you must enable unsign driver installation first. Look at google how to do it.
i did it now and i installed ADB because i didn't find the media tech USB VCom in Device manager and after that MTKDriod can read the phone but now when i press root this message appear " — ERROR : file adbd not install ! "
Have you root your phone?
Backup can only be done if you already root your phone. Try search on the google installing adb driver it google applications so should be easy search at google
my phone is rooted but it's 4.4.2 VIBE UI
Then try to search on google how to install adb on your computer.
it's installed 🙁 , i think i have to install windows seven
I think you should, because i never use windows 8 when modified my devices. So i think i cannot help you clear enough
i dun have backup modem but my phone is alrealy flash new firmware what can i do now T_T help~
modem file is not important, the important is NVRAM because it contains your IMEI, without the IMEI communicate ability will off, modem can be use another phone with same model.
if your phone already flash with new firmware and there is no problem with signal then i think it fine no need to worried about previous modem. but if your signal is not stable than need to change modem files
I have taken backup via it but i need steps to restore so please help me fast.. i have formatted all
I dont have guide to restore it, backup result can be restore using flash tool. Extract the backup zip file and open flash tool, click scatter file button and browse to extracted backup file and begin to restore
hello sir,thnks for the nice tutorial.i've successful backup my device.i did it twice to make sure its working properly but sir i didnt factory reset my device when doing the backup.is that ok?or do i have to factory reset my device and do the backup again.your help is much appreciated.
@nur, if you do factory reset you can distribute the backup file, so people that dont have backup file can use your's file with same device type with you. but if you don't factory reset it you can only use it for yourself.
it ok i think when restore and it bootloop just go to recovery menu and do factory reset.
you're really nice sir.i thank you so much for this.now i understand.thanks again sir.
your welcome, thank you for visit and leave comments. I am very appreciate it
