detailed instructions: Firmware Lenovo Vibe Shot

Attention!!

Before doing anything with the device, I strongly recommend that you do backup EFS/NV and the entire system of your smartphone to restore it at any time if any problems arise!

Before flashing or " Wipe» reset standard means Android otherwise there will be problems with your Google account.

On rooted firmware, do not update SuperSU from PlayMarket if he asks, you risk getting a brick!!
Only flashing the phone will help!!

Before flashing firmware from QFIL or MiFlash, be sure to remove the flash card. The phone is bricked!!

All ROW firmware and instructions for flashing the phone are also suitable for the z90-3, you just need to replace it with the stock NON-HLOS.bin file, otherwise the connection will be lost!!

Before flashing, remove the SIM card and flash drive (there were cases of bricks due to them).

How to enter firmware mode (port 9008)
Provided that everything necessary drivers installed:
Turn off the phone (wait until it turns off completely) >> hold down the “volume +” button and without releasing it, connect the USB cable to the phone. In Device Manager, your phone should be identified as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 :

If this does not happen, we first try to change the ports, figure out if everything is okay with the drivers and/or (relevant for ROW firmware) try another method:
Unpack archive (479.27 KB)
to the root of the C:\ drive >> open the Windows command line >> type in command line:
CD C:\Android
connect the switched-on phone to the computer (in the “for developers” menu, USB debugging must be enabled, and if you connect the phone to the computer you are using for debugging for the first time, a window will pop up on the phone screen asking for confirmation - allow it by checking the box.) >> in the command line enter:
ADB devices
If everything is fine, then in the command line we will see something like:

How to choose firmware:
There are two versions of the phone (actually three, but to make things easier to understand, I think we won’t consider the Z90-3 at all for now):
1) Z90-7 Chinese version of the phone, which you also successfully purchased and are using
2) Z90a40-exactly the same phone as yours but aimed at the European market (sales have just started)
Now the most important thing is that for “ Chinese» phone versions their official firmware(Z90-7_USR_ST1527), and for " European» — their(“S118”, “S208”). Through testing, it turned out that the “Chinese” version of the phone, without any dancing with a tambourine, installs firmware intended for the “European” version of the phone.

I recently received mine Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-7. The smartphone had original Chinese firmware. In principle, I review both Chinese and Russian versions when there are no other firmwares for the phone, or when the firmware contains at least English or Chinese. But it so happens that the Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-7 has a large number of English items, and not only in the menu. Therefore, before reviewing the smartphone and its graphical shell, I decided to change the Chinese firmware to international one. Today we will deal with the Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-7 firmware.

We will flash our smartphone with the official international firmware. Considering the problems of working in two networks and LTE on Android 6, we will flash it on Android 5. In addition, if you need a six, you can update to it using OTA updates.

To flash the Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-7 firmware, we will need a software package, and . Download the archive from and unpack it. First of all, we launch vcredist_x86 in order to restore Microsoft Visual C++ 2010. The fact is that MV settings, messed up by the installation of games or programs, may prevent you from properly flashing your smartphone. After restoring the MV, start the installation QPST 2.7.422.

The most important step is to extract SIM cards and memory cards from a smartphone. 100% of phones from which memory cards were not removed turned into bricks. Therefore, be sure to remove the memory card and SIM cards before flashing the firmware.

Launch Device Manager for monitoring correct connection Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-7 to computer. Most likely, your smartphone will be determined as Vibe Shot with an incorrect driver installation icon.

We need the smartphone to be identified as a port Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Neither a removable drive, nor a smartphone, nor a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9006. But a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port. To do this, turn off the smartphone completely. After turning off the smartphone, hold down the Volume+ key (increase sound) and insert USB cable. You will have a device like QHSUSB_BULK.

Press the right mouse button to call context menu, and select Update drivers. Automatic search will not give results, so we select - Search for drivers on this computer. In the window that appears, indicate the unpacked folder with our drivers. To the warning about the danger of installing unknown drivers, we respond - Install this driver anyway. After this, our Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-7 will be detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 COM 10. You may have a different port. The main thing is to identify the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port.

What to do if the smartphone is identified as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9006.

Let's launch QFIL. IN top line The program must determine our device and the port on which it is located. If everything is correct, we continue.

In field Programmer path press Browse and select the path to the unzipped folder with the firmware, or rather, to the file prog_emmc_firehose_89XX.mbn. Then click Load XML... and select, in the same folder, first rawprogram0.xml, and then patch0.xml. In principle, you can’t go wrong, because when selected, the program will not see files except rawprogram0.xml, and after loading it, it will not see files except patch0.xml. Click Download.

The Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-7 firmware update to international firmware has begun. This can also be seen on the smartphone screen.

After flashing the firmware, the first thing you need to do is change the region code. To do this, in the dialer you need to dial ####682# . In the window that appears, select RU. Please note that after changing the region code, all data from your device will be deleted. And installing programs for your region may take long time. My parameters were used for about 20-25 minutes. After changing the region, it is advisable to reset the settings in order to clean up all the tails.

This completes the firmware for Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-7 for international firmware.
