Today we will flash the smartphone. So, we have this phone, which already has custom QNeon Modern firmware version 1.7. This firmware is considered one of the most stable for the A706, but for some reason the smartphone began to behave inappropriately over time, which was primarily reflected in the regular departure of most launched applications that simply did not want to work. What became the reason is not clear. Our task is to reflash the smartphone.
We will not reinstall QNeon Modern, but install the assembly RASA MOD XPERIA (This is a build from LeWa), in which there are two nice launchers to choose from (Baidu or Xperia), SuperSU and Google services, including the Play Market, are preinstalled. The firmware has a good translation into Russian, although in some places English words slip through. In general, in terms of functionality, the firmware is very, very decent and completely suits us. In addition, judging by the reviews, it works stably.
We will flash through ClockworkMod Recovery, the desired version of which is already available in the previous firmware. If you do not have such an advanced Recovery, install it. How? You will find it on the Internet, because this is a topic for another discussion.
LENOVO A706 FIRMWARE STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
1. First of all, download the archive with the firmware to the computer. In the same form as you downloaded it, we drop the archive into the smartphone’s memory (but not onto the memory card), after connecting our A706 with a cable to the computer in USB storage mode.
At the same time, press “POWER” + “Volume Up” + “Volume Down” on the smartphone turned off
3. The start menu of Recovery usually looks like this (photo below). Navigation on it is carried out by volume buttons that move the cursor up or down. And with the “Power” button, we select any item. So, we need to select the “wipe data / fastory reset” item and confirm the selection by clicking “Yes” in the next menu.
4. In the next step, select the “wipe cache partischions” item and again confirm the selection by clicking on “Yes”.
6. We return to the start menu of Recovery and select the item “Install zip from sdcard”. In the next window, select "choose zip from sdcard". In the file explorer that appears, select the archive with the firmware, followed by confirmation with the “Yes” item. We will see that the flashing process has started.
7. After the firmware is finished, the smartphone will ask you to restart it through Recovery. To do this, using the “Go Back” item, we return to the main Recovery menu, where we select the “Reboot system now” item to restart the smartphone. Again confirm the selection through the item “Yes - Disable recovery flashing”.
That is the whole process. Now we can see the first start of the Lenovo A706 smartphone with a new firmware. The first download takes a very long time - about 2-3 minutes. We can only wait. In the future, the download time will be spent several times less.
Immediately after the start, the system will prompt us to choose a launcher - Xperia or Baidu. Let's turn on the Xperia interface as an example. We see that there is the Play Market, and SuperSu, and file guides including Root Explorer. Launcher has its own widgets, themes, wallpapers. The Baidu interface also works and has its own characteristics. Which launcher is more convenient for you - only practice will show. You can switch between them at any time.
