How to Root Lenovo S939? And how to install VIBEUI_V1.5_1417_2_DEV_S939_NK_W_B215_MultiLang_GAPPS_

I bought a Lenovo S939 with a multilanguage ROM and GAPPS (aNDROID 4.2.2 - S939_S124_131211). After the system update to the 4.4.2 ( VIBEUI_V2.0_1434_2_ST_S939) all the system (including Apps) have appeared in Chinese (I could choose English as system language): I managed to install Google Play (installing GMSTools), and I could download Almost all Google Apps (some of them are not compatible with this version, for example G+ is not in Google play at all).
In order to have a multilanguage version with all the functions I had in the original 4.2.2 Android version I've downloaded VIBEUI_V1.5_1417_2_DEV_S939_NK_W_B215_MultiLang_GAPPS_(link http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-s939-4-4-2-multilang/) and I've followed all the instruction (after installing all the software I needed) illustrated in the linked web page. I don't have any problem along the whole process, but at the end, when i connect my phone the red bar doesn't appear and nothing happens.
What happens? what's the mistake?? My phone is not rooted.
I have tried to root it in different ways. but it seems impossible. Do yo know how to root S939?
Thanks

How to install XP on an R61i with a new hard disk

I have an R61i which I've used for years. The hard disk died and I put in a new unpartitioned hard disk.
Our IT guy has provided me with the six disk set "Thinkpad Product Recovery CD for Thinkpad T61, R61 ... " as well as an OEM MS Windows XP install disk complete with valid product key.
First I tried to boot the Recovery CD #1. It is not bootable.
Then I installed XP from the MS XP disk. Everything goes OK, but the drivers for the R61i network interfaces and other special hardware are not on the MS XP disk. When I look for an application on the Recovery Disks that might install them, there is none.
Then I tried "search for new hardware", so XP found the unsupported network interfaces. I gave Recovery Disk #1 as the location of the drivers to be loaded. XP did not find the needed drivers there.
Then I went to the Lenovo site and found an install file for their recovery environment. I downloaded it on another machine, burned a DVD, and ran it on the R61i. It won't run because there is no .NET framework in the XP that was loaded from the MS XP disk.
It seems likely that everything that I need to get the R61i set up with all its hardware should be on the recovery disks somewhere, but how can I get to it?
Why is this so difficult? Surely I am not the only person who has ever had to replace a dead hard drive!!!

Welcome to the forum. The simplest way to get the drivers you need is to download and install ThinkVantage System Update You'll need version 3.16 for For Windows 2000, XP and Vista.
After you install SU, run it and let it find all the device drivers, ThinkVantage utilities and such for your system. Then let SU install them for you.
Alternatively you could go to Drivers and software - ThinkPad R61 to manually download and install what you need. That's a lot more work.

i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
thanks
john

Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

How to inherit roles between root organization unit and sub units

Hi all,
I have root organization unit and sub units:
->Company
>Department 1
>Department 2
>Department 3
>Department 4
>Department 5
I would like it to work like this that all people from all departments would have access to transaction ZTEST. Most obvious way would be for me to assign appropriate role to unit Company. Unfortunately it looks like roles are not inherit between units like this. So question is how it should be done? Do I have to assign this role to all departments to make it work?
Best regards
Marcin Cholewczuk

Hi,
To activate inheritance of roles between root org and sub org units, you need to set switch HR_ORG_ACTIVE to Yes in table PRGN_CUST. Also proper evaluation path has to be used so that user comparison (via PFUD) creates the indirect role assignment to user master records.
You can modify evaluation path US_ACTGR in table T77AW/ tcode OOAW to include root org and its subunits (add entry for relationship O B002 O) and connect the role assigned to root org to the users belonging to sub org units. Then run PFUD which will use this evaluation path to create indirect role assigment.

How to install opensuse-arm-xfce-12.3 on Lenovo A3000 tab

Sir recently I have bought Lenovo A3000 tab which is having android version 4.2.2 and 16 GB internal memory, 1.2 giga hertz quad core processor and 1GB ram.
I want to use opensuse on my tab so I have downloaded the file opensuse-arm-xfce-12.3.tar.xz I have extracted successfully it and found .IMG file and opensuse.sh file.
Kindly suggest how to install the above os in my tab with dual booting ie., opensuse and android.
I am expecting the two operating systems to be on 16 GB internal memory and so suggest how to partition the internal memory.
I have searched the net and followed the procedure which is too difficult to understand even though I have performed some of the steps like becoming root, installing busy box,complete Linux installer etc.,.
when I launch the complete Linux installer app it is showing message as unable to mount the image loop device not working.

CWM recovery and Rooting Lenovo K3 Note K50-t5

HOW TO ROOT THE LEVONO K3 NOTE K50-T5 This How To describes how to put the ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery onto the Levono K3 Note Model K50-t5 and, using CWM Recovery, root it. The method was generated from notes that I took of Root Junky’s YouTube video on the subject and what I actually carried out on my Lenovo. I fully acknowledge Root Junk’s methodology and prior work. Other similar methods exist but I had trouble with fully understanding the steps. DisclaimerAny modification to firmware and OS could possibly brick the device and neither the author or the web sites assumes any responsibility or loss from your actions.

I would also like to know why the product is not here on Lenovo Support. I purchased mine from Vickmall EU wharehouse (#link_below) where it says "Newest 1520 multi-language rom". Vickmall does not mention on the site anything about it being a "china only" phone, and obviously don't consider it to be since they converted it over to multilingual. In any event, it should be formally supported by Lenovo, especially since the phone did not come with any software or English documentation. I think Lenovo Support needs to make whatever ROM Vickmall used and instructions on how to use it for others who don't have access to it.

How to install Windows 7/Vista as 2nd OS and retain predesktop environment (service partition)

This is a step-by-step instruction how to install Windows Vista or Windows 7 as a second OS on a Lenovo Thinkpad that originally shipped with Windows XP AND how to retain the access to the Lenovo Service Partition.
I have been searching the internet for instructions like these but could not find anything useful. So I am posting it
here. Maybe this helps other users.
I have tested the procedure below with installation of Windows Vista Ultimate (64bit) and Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit). I believe that the procedure will also work with the 32bit versions of these OSs. I am not totally convinced that this works when the OS to install is Windows XP (64bit or 32bit). XP has a completely different boot sequence compared to Vista or 7. The basic steps would remain the same, but the XP setup is less forgiving when it finds an unknown partition. If somebody wants to try it out, please post your results as a reply to this forum entry.
Never never never try to install an older OS (like Windows 2000 or NT) as a second OS when XP is already installed! This is doomed to fail.
The procedure below does NOT work for Linux installations. I am not a Linux wizard, but any Linux bootmanager I know about is incompatible with the Lenovo Service Partition.
The procedure was tested on a Thinkpad R61 model 8918-B9G. It should work similar on other models.
You definitely need a service partition with Rescue&Recovery version 4. It will NOT work with older versions of R&R or if the service partition is not a type12 partition (see below how to find out about that).
I assume that the harddisk partitions are unmodified, i.e. still have factory settings. This is likely the case if you
never attempted any OS install or recovery action. If this is not the case, the procedure may or may not work.
You also need a bootable CD with a tool that can change the size of your current system partition. I was using gparted live version 0.5.2-9. ( http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ )
Everything you do is at your own risk. I am in no way related to Lenovo, other than being a customer using their
products.
Step 1) Make a full backup of your harddisk. Get yourself recovery CDs for your Thinkpad model if you don't have any. The changes we are about to make can completely screw up your harddrive. A typo is sufficient for that to happen.
Step 2) Power on the system. Check that you can boot into the Service Partition by pressing the Thinkvantage button when the startup screen appears. (Older systems may have a differently named button.) If there is a problem booting the service partition now, it is likely that the rest of this procedure will not fix it.
Step 3) From the service partition choose 'Warmstart' to reboot the system. Reboot Windows XP, logon.
Open a command prompt. CD to the following directory:
\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\BMGR
On a german language system (like mine) it is
\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR
If you have an older IBM system the directory may be named
\Program Files\Common Files\IBM\BMGR
or something like that. Maybe you need to search around.
In the following, I will call this the "BMGR dir".
Enter the following command:
bmgr32 /info /v
You should get an output similar to this:
C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>bmgr32 /info /v

The important thing to look for is the 0x12 partition type in the partition table at the bottom. This is the service
partition. If you do not have a 0x12 partition, then you can stop here because the rest of the procedure will not work
for you.
Step 4) Shutdown and boot gparted from CD. Shrink the system partition to the desired size. Do NOT touch the service partition! Do NOT attempt to create another partition! Leave the new white space on the disk untouched! Apply changes and restart the system.
Step 5) Reboot XP. gparted has set the NTFS dirty bit. This will cause XP to run a full CHKDSK. Depending on how much files there are on the partition this may take considerable time. Let CHKDSK run to completion. When CHKDSK finishes, the system will automatically reboot.
Step 6) XP reboots now. Logon. When loading the desktop, XP will show a popup window, stating that system settings have been changed and new devices been discovered and that the system should be rebooted. This is ok. XP actually recognized the shrunk system partition and applied the necessary changes to its own system parameters. Click YES to reboot the system.
Step 7) XP reboots. Logon. Open a command prompt, CD to the BMGR dir and enter:
bmgr32 /info /v
The output you get should be similar to the output you have seen in step 3, except that the partition 0 size column
shows a smaller value.
Step 8) Shutdown, restart. Check that you can still access the service partition by pressing the blue Thinkvantage button when the system startup screen appears.
Step 9) From the predesktop environment choose warmstart. Reboot XP. Logon, logoff, shutdown.
DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!! If you start the Windows Vista/7 install right after shutting down from the predesktop
environment, the Win Vista/7 setup program will screw up your harddisk! The Lenovo MBR bootmgr reboot takes two steps for completion. The first step is the shutdown and the second step is executed when booting from harddisk. A boot from the Windows CD will skip this second step and disaster finds its way...
Step 10) Insert the Windows Vista/7 DVD and boot it. Start the setup. Choose "Custom (advanced)" install. It will show the partitions on the disk. Select the white space (unallocated). Click on "disk options (advanced)". Click on "New" to create a new partition in the white space. Keep the default size, click "Apply". Click "Format". A popup window appears stating that the partition may hold OEM data. Continue. Click "Next". Installation starts.
Continued in the second post...

Step 11) Win Vista/XP will reboot several times during installation. You will always see the Windows bootmanager with an entry for "Earlier Windows version" and "Windows Vista/7". DO NOT DARE to touch the blue Thinkvantage button on any reboot or press any function keys!
Step 12) When the installation is finished, check that you can successfully reboot Win Vista/7 by selecting it from the Windows bootmanager.
Step 13) Reboot XP by choosing "Earlier Windows version" from the Windows bootmanager. Open a command prompt. CD to the BMGR dir. Enter the following command:
bmgr32 /info /v
The output will now look like this:
C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>bmgr32 /info /v

startLBA and size will of course differ, depending on the actual partition sizes you have set. Note that Windows setup moved the service partition to entry 2 of the partition table. If you do not see the 0x12 partition then stop here.
Otherwise the following step will likely screw up you harddisk.
Enter the following command (case sensitive?):

So you have actually regained the Lenovo bootmanager. But you are not done yet.
Step 14) Shutdown. Restart the system. DO NOT PRESS THE BLUE THINKVANTAGE BUTTON AT THE SYSTEM STARTUP SCREEN!!! IT DOES NOT WORK YET! When the system startup screen DISAPPEARS, quickly press F11 (maybe several times). The system should now boot the predesktop environment from the service partition.
Step 15) When the predesktop is there, choose "warmstart". When the system startup screen appears, press the blue Thinkvantage button. The system should again boot into the predesktop. The blue Thinkvantage button now works permanently.
Step 16) Check that you can boot Win XP and Win Vista/7 from the Windows bootmanager. You're done!

How to install "Rescue and recovery" on a new harddisk (T60)

My T60 has a 60gb harddisk and I want to upgrade to a 160gb.
I need to know how to install this rescue and recovery on the new disk.
Can some one help me out here
I can imagine for example to create this (hidden) partition with Partition Magic, but how to continue ?

Hello,
Have you considered either cloning your old 60GB hard disk drive to the new 160GB model, or using your recovery discs to install a fresh copy of the operating system plus ThinkVantage utilities to the new hard disk drive?

How to install Rescue and Recovery 4.21 on Windows 2003

There should be a good amount of users running Windows 2003 on their thinkpad for various reasons. As much as I tried, I could not get Rescue and Recovery's MSI to install on my X61 running Win2003 R2 SP2, despite attempts to modify the Setup.ini file.
the changes made in setup.ini:
[Win2003Server]
MajorVer=5
MinorVer=2
MinorVerMax=3
BuildNo=3790
PlatformId=2
The returned installer error is "The current operating system is not supported for running Rescue and Recovery. Supported operating systems includes Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or later".
This is such a shame as I'm pretty sure RR would run just fine on win2003 as both WinXP and win2003 are based on the same underlying technologies and code. Please advice if there's any method such as a command switch for MSI installer to suppress OS detection error or any modification that can be made to setup.ini to get it to install on win2003 or any utility that can be used to modify MSI files and database? Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Alrighty..I've manage to google a hack to this problem of getting Rescue and Recovery to install on Windows 2003. So let this post be a guide to how to get this done:
Getting the tools to modify Rescue and Recovery MSI (Windows Installer)
Download and install Orca MSI editor from http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools/Orca.zip
Review http://ravi1337.blogspot.com/2007/05/orca-msi-editor-make-any-software.html, this guide should give you a good idea what you'll be doing with this tool.
Download Rescue and Recovery™ 4.21 from Lenovo
Download Rescue and Recovery™ 4.21 for Windows XP (32-bit) or Windows 2000 from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/license.do?filename=thinkvantage_en/z652_setup_rnr42_016c...
Ensure you are downloading full install with all language pack to avoid any missing installation file due to regional settings
Run the installer and see that all files are extracted accordingly.
Modification of Rescue and Recovery Installer
Delete all files in C:\Documents and Settings\(User Account Name)\Local Settings\Temp\ this will prevent confusion on which files are unpacked and created by RR installer
Extract z652_setup_rnr42_016c.exe into a folder named z652_setup_rnr42_016c.
Execute tvtrnr42.exe
The MSI installer is then unpacked to the following default directory: C:\Documents and Settings\(User Account Name)\Local Settings\Temp\. Note that the installer creates two directories for installation of RR, that are {F151F2B3-0C32-44D3-90E2-E639B8024622} and _isXXXX <--- 4 randomly generated digits
The folder _isXXXX contain Rescue and Recovery.msi
On the first run of the installer, the following error will be shown "The current operating system is not supported for running Rescue and Recovery. Supported operating systems includes Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or later". DO NOT CLICK OK! This is cause the installer to purge all installation files and related directories in the temp directory. Just leave the error window as it is without clicking the OK button!
Copy all TVT files from folder z652_setup_rnr42_016c into both directories
Modify setup.ini entry for Win2003Server with notepad and save changes:
[Win2003Server]
MajorVer=5
MinorVer=2
MinorVerMax=3
BuildNo=3790
PlatformId=2
Right-click on Rescue and Recovery.msi and edit with Orca
Go to LaunchCondition Table
Drop the following rows and save changes:
(((VersionNT=501 AND ServicePackLevel>=1)OR (VersionNT=500 AND ServicePackLevel>=3)) AND WINSERVER=0) OR Installed- The current operating system is not supported for running [ProductName]. Supported operating systems include Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 2000 with Service Pack 3 or later and Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or later.
IEEXISTS=1 OR Installed - [ProductName] requires Microsoft(R) Internet Explorer version 5.5 or higher. You cannot install the Rescue and Recovery program without this version of Internet Explorer.
INCOMPAPPNAME=0 OR Installed - [INCOMPAPPNAME] is installed and is incompatible with this version of [ProductName]. This application cannot be installed. To install [ProductName], uninstall [INCOMPAPPNAME] and then restart this setup.
Not SGEWRONGVERSION OR Installed - [INCOMPAPPNAME] is installed and is incompatible with this version of [ProductName]. This application cannot be installed. To install [ProductName], uninstall [INCOMPAPPNAME] and then restart this setup.
When you're done with these modification, re-run Rescue and Recovery.msi without closing the previous error window. Rescue and Recovery should now install without any glitch! Good Luck!

Hi，
I think you can start your computer and long press F8 or other keys (depends on the PC model) to enter the BIOS, set the boot option, make the PC boot from CD\ROM Drive, then customize the installation, resize the partition, you can refer
to this video.

Linux, Netscape 7.01 and java plug-in how to install?

I have J2SE v 1.4.1_01 SDK installed in /usr/java/ directory. Some days ago I installed Netscape 7.0.1 on my RedHat 8.0 Linux. Now if I try to run my simple html page which calls simple java applet, I get message to install proper plug-in. "OK" button directs me to SUN's page where I can download J2SE. But I have one.
I still don't know how to install plug-in. Trying to create symbolic link:
ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
in /root/.netscape/plugins and /root/.netscape6/plugins does not resolve the problem. As You see I work as root.
My Mozilla 1.3a browser works fine. It has java plug-in installed.
I saw Netscape uses /root/.mozilla directory for storing some information rather then /root/.netscape.
Could You send me any suggestion? Thank You.

Thank You leukbr.
Unfortunately, this not resolved the problem.
More info about configuration and my activity:
I start Netscape by clicking on Netscape icon on my gnome desktop.
The icon has its file in /root/.gnome-desktop directory. File name is Netscape 7.01.desktop (like title under the icon). Line to launch executable has following contents:
Exec=/usr/local/netscape/netscape
I changed it to:
Exec=/usr/local/netscape/set_plugin_start_netscape.sh
and wrote set_plugin_start_netscape.sh file.
File /usr/local/netscape/set_plugin_start_netscape.sh has the following contents:
NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610
set |grep NPX > /root/diag.log
/usr/local/netscape/netscape
Second line is used for diagnostic purpose.
I closed all Netscape windows.
After launch of the icon /root/diag.log file is created and looks as follows:
NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610
If I start my html file (which calls java applet), Netscape still displays message:
This page contains information of a type (application/x-java-vm) that can
only be viewed with the appropriatePlug-in.
Clisk OK to download Plugin.
Hm...

HOW TO INSTALL ROOT (Authority) CERTIFICATES ON S4...

Recently i bought a 6500 Classic and stupidly deleted my Authority Certificates.
After trwaling the net for info on how to re-install certificates i couldnt find an answer apart from NO YOU CANT DO THIS.
Well to that i say NUTS!!! because you can and i will show you how by simply following these steps.
1. Create a New Folder on your desktop and call it whatever you like.
2. Open notepad on your computer.
3. Copy the text below into the Notpad file. (I got this from some website as they were using it for smething else but it does work so thanks to them or thanks to you if this is yours)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Install root CA</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<a href="der1.cer">Download a CA Cert1</a>
<a href="der2.cer">Download a CA Cert2</a>
<a href="der3.cer">Download a CA Cert3</a>
<a href="der4.cer">Download a CA Cert4</a>
<a href="der5.cer">Download a CA Cert5</a>
<a href="der6.cer">Download a CA Cert6</a>
<a href="der7.cer">Download a CA Cert7</a>
<a href="der8.cer">Download a CA Cert8</a>
<a href="der9.cer">Download a CA Cert9</a>
<a href="der10.cer">Download a CA Cert10</a>
<a href="der11.cer">Download a CA Cert11</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>
4. Save the Notpad file as type ALL FILES but when naming it just call it cert.html and save it to the folder you created on your desktop earlier.
5. Now downlaod the Root Certificates you need to the same folder on your Desktop.
6. When saving the first Certificate to the folder call it der1 ((make sure not to take out the file extension eg .cer)) then the second der2, third der3 and so on and so on till you get to der11. (Dont worry this will not rename the certificate when it installs on your phone.)
Example of what the files in your Desktop folder should be called der1.cer, der2.cer etc etc.
7. Now transfer the whole folder from your Desktop to your Mobile phone. (I did this by using Nokia PC Suite.)
8. When the folder with the certificates and hmtl we made have been transfered to you phone navigate using your phone to that folder.
9. Go into the folder and open the cert.html file. (Your browser will now open a page with 11 download links available)10. Now all you have to do is click on each link and accept each certificate remembering to save and they will install on your phone. (On my 6500 Classic i can check this by Navigating through my phone to Menu>Settings>Security>Authority Certificates)
Notes:- Some errors you may receive when trying to download the certificates through your phone browser may be Already Exists, Expired Certificate and the most annoying is Corrupted Certificate.
Already Exists - Shouldt allow you to save (DO NOT SAVE IF IT ALLOWS YOU)
Expired Certificate - (DO NOT SAVE)
Corrupted Certificate - Install the certificate on your computer first, then go to Tools>Internet Options>Content>Certificates.
(save the certificate to other people tab) Browse for the certificate you installed then export it in DER format to the Desktop Folder you created then start process over again to get it onto your phone.
Remember to delete any certificates as you go that you have already installed so you dont get mixed up.
Any issues reply and i will do what i can to help and if anyone has Hutchinson 3G Root Certificates please let me know.
Thanks.

How to install and configure srss3.1 in TSOL8

Dear all,
I have a E250 server with installed Trusted Solaris 8 12/02 Certified Edition.
For your info, i am very new to Trusted Solaris OS and my management asked me to install and configure the srss3.1 by next week.
Previously, i have installed srss3.1 in normal Solaris 9 & 10 OS and i am familiar with the installation.
I also login to TSOL8 CDE and i found out that i can't install srss3.1 and the error was permission denied.
I have role called "root and admin". What i can see that the role "root" is no more a powerful user.
Should i create new role to install srss?
What Rights i need to grant to role "admin or new role" in order to install srss3.1?
What other steps i need to execute in order to install srss?
Can someone from this forum guide me on how to install srss3.1 in TSOL8 OS environment?
Thanks in advance.

How to install IPSec Client Certificate for Apple products (iPad,iPhoe and Mac)

We need Ipsec vpn client authentication with certificate (instead of pre-shared key). We tested the same with Windows client and its works fine. However when we used the same certificates with Apple products (iPad, iPhoe and Mac) it doesnt work.
We have two types of certificates installed on the client from the CA server.
One is the root certificate with the extenstion .cer
and the other one is client certificate with the extension of .pfx (personal informaiton exchange)
We can not find a proper document to install certificates and client configuration for iPad,iPhoe and Mac. We need to know what type of certificates needed, what are the certificate formats and how to install etc.
Appreciate if someone has implemented this and share any documents.
thanks

I believe you take the top part off where the camera is. I too want to know how to do this. Also, since you're the only other person here, I have a question. If you watch youtube in HD, do you get massive lag and audio off by alot? When I watch youtube in HD, it's just unwatchable.
