    @Kanishk,

    My Lenovo A820e is back now. I am extremely extremely thankful to you for your service.

    Your helpful nature is evident even on this forum but I experienced it even during the time I sent you the phone.

    One more thing that I like about you is that you are open to suggestions and ready to experiment. Lenovo is not some everyday samsung and was a bit difficult to find related things and files but you did it.

    Your attitude rocks. Way to go.

    Very happy.

    Hi,

    Currently I am considering to buy a GSM + GSM handset.

    I am considering Micromax A116, Spice Pinnacle FHD Mi525, Lava Iris 504Q, Xolo Q1000.

    All these handsets are : >= 1.2 GHz, 1GB RAM, 5", 720x1280 , Rs.12k to 14k

    However, while deciding between them, I stumbled upon a point when the Dual SIM definition is varying for these phones.

    Some of these phones are "Dual Active" (A116 ?), and others are "Dual Standby". Dual active meaning, while you are talking on one SIM, you can still receive a call on the second SIM. This is in contrast to Dual standby, meaning, while you are talking on one SIM, the other SIM becomes "Unreachable".

    The official or review websites do not clearly mention this distinction, they simply mention "Dual SIM" and that is not sufficient. So, I thought to start this thread where, our members can discuss about handsets which come under these categories.

    A review on net says that A116 is Dual Active, but when I checked it was not. However, when a data connection was active on one SIM, the second SIM was able to receive a call.

    Can you guys help here to distinguish between these phones and also other phones ?

    Just called this person. His name is Dev. He works only on Gaming Consoles, not phones.

    What's the issue with your phone?

    connect the phone to pc it should show a cd rom install china telecom software

    it will install all the required drivers

    enable usb debugging

    try adb devices first if it connects than try adb reboot bootloader

    I could have done this. But before I read this, I already gave the phone to a friend.

    He used Flash Gorden and flashed a CWM Recovery. Now the phone is not moving beyond Lenovo Logo. :(

    Also when booted into recovery, it still shows the stock recovery.

    Then he wiped the cache and partition and restored the backup. It shows that the restore was successful but still on reboot the phone stuck at the logo.

    Now wiping the partitions, shows error that it couldnt mount.

    It seems, I am in a deep trouble. May be the phone is bricked permanently.

    I would appreciate any help.

    Thanks for responding quickly Jagjit Singhji.

    When I try -

    adb devices

    I dont get the phone listed there. From resources on net, I found that the drivers get loaded when the phone is connected to laptop during fastboot mode. Since I cannot get there I am unable to load the driver.

    Exactly when should I connect to laptop to issue the "adb reboot bootloader" ?

    However, I managed to install most of the drivers. Only one node - "USB Device" remains yellow in Device Manager.

    If you have the USB driver, I would install and try this.

    I have not yet tried to connect using EVDO. Let me try right away. I will update soon.

    Hi,

    I got Lenovo A820e from china this week. Its a CDMA+GSM.

    The phone is from China Telecom and doesnt have Google Apps.

    I have rooted the phone using Framaroot.

    In oder to install Google Apps, I am able to get many zip files which can be flashed using customer recovery like CWM. However, to install custom recovery, I need to go to Fastboot. But my problem is that I am unable to get into fastboot.

    By pressing Power + Volume Down I get to a menu where these options are listed -
    0. Board Test
    1. Current Test
    2. RF Test
    3. Test Flow
    4. SD Update
    5. Erase Userdata
    6. Format Internal SD
    7. Copy Pre-Source
    8. Reboot

    And if I press Power + Both Volume Buttons, I get the menu like below -
    Android System recovery <3e>
    Reboot system now
    apply update from external storage
    apply update from internal storage
    apply update from ADB
    apply update from cache
    wipe data/factory reset
    wipe cache partition
    backup & restore
    mount & storage

    Can anybody help me here on how to get into fastboot mode ?

    Or is there any other way to install a custom recovery ?
