Lenovo have 2 different firmware, china and ROW or international. Your is chinese version without google play. The solution is install google play from recovery or twrp second install ROW firmware like above guide
how to install google play from recovery ? or it has install automatically if i install row firmware like above ?
download google play with zip on the net, but you must first install custom recovery first to your device, and then install the google play.
International firmware include google play by default so you will no need to install it again, china firmware dont include google play because it forbidden in china
i have done the above guide and it work , i've been using china firmware for almost two year , thankyou so much for your guide , really appreciate it
