To root kitkat firmware you need used so flash tool cannot use this. This is for only android 4.2 or lower. Root with framaroot then install twrp then install supersu update

thanks, i will try it then

Your welcome, thank you for visit.

Sorry wrong not twrp, carliv touch and not so flash tool but sp flash tool. Install this using sp flash tool and then update supersu via carliv custom recovery, cannot use mobile uncle. But you need scatter file to run sp flash tool.

can i use the scatter file the on i downloaded contain the recovery image?

Usually from the stock rom download, yes you can use it. But becareful on using sp flash tool cause it can brick you device.

Im trying to use SP Flash Tools, but i couldn't find tutorial to do with this device.

How to use sp flash tool is basically same for every device, what make the different is the scatter file and the image file. You can search in my blog how to use sp flash tool but make sure the scatter file and image file are for lenovo s939.

Andy,
I lost all my phone contacts, from powering up after a swapping of SIM cards.
Is there a way for me to recover the lost contacts.

hi,

if you seriously losing your contact there is no way to make it back.
for lesson always sync contact with google, so you will never losing your contacts

Andy,
Thanks for the input.

It seems I have to accept the fact that, the lost contacts cannot be recovered.
Those lost contacts, I don't have duplicate copy in SIM.

I'm pretty new in using smart phone, have been using the old keypad phone for long time, and just recently switched.

Please kindly share me a link that I can learn to sync contact with google.

Thank you.
regards,
EK

Hi, I tried for a few days and seek no solution, therefore I would like to ask if anyone have such situation and got a solution. Model: Lenovo S939 It was with android 4.2.2 which is the stock rom until I successfully flash it to android 4.4.2 which is the official VIBEUI_V2.0_1507_7.9.1_ST_S939_WC36 about two months ago. I think I accidently deleted some apps in the phone(I was trying to clear personal contents) and now the phone cannot turn on at all. I am able to connect the phone to my PC using USB and have the driver for it. So… Read more »

I have quite some customs roms saved in my Sd cards which I got from needroom.com: So i think you not clean in install it.

Hi Andy, Thanks for the reply.

I reboot into recovery and format data, system, cache. After that, I use SPTool to flash a rom(VIBE UI) . Now the phone stuck in boot loop (lenovo icon keep come out and go).

Do factory reset after finish flashing

I do a factory reset and stuck in boot looping also. Just now I try to enable USB and Storage DA DL to flash. I got an error at the 100% saying 'BROM ERROR : S_CHKSUM_ERROR (1041)" and if i disable the DA DL then it is not there. Do you think it is because of that?
