Lenovo Vibe X2 - CU firmware update to EU

Dear Friends,
I have just bought Vive x2-CU, and even it says that there is English language there, but it still doesnt work correctly. All the messages and warnings are on Chinese. Please help me to resolve this issue, otherwise I will hange my opinion about Lenovo, and will give this telephone back to store, and get another brand, without chinese. Please help me to solve this problem, as I really thik that it is a powerful phone, but if it is in Chinese, then I don't need it's power.

Hi norayrg
Like I said the X2-CU is the Chinese version of the Lenovo X2 and dosen't/ won't have a official(I suppose that is what you mean by ''normal'') ROW firmware like the X2-AP&X2-EU International versions have.Please keep in mind that there are hardware differences between the four X2 models !
....but anyways there is still some chinese stuff in it, for example Theme Centre, or whenever I enter to Video section, it brings chinese movies., In radio there are chinese stations.
Generally speaking this is the downside of buying a ''China only model''. Cheaper than the International counterpart(in this case the X2-AP&X2-EU) but forever dependent on ''custom'' firmwares....From personal experience (not referring to a specific device) there's always some CN in this kind of ROM's.Aren't AOSP ROM's just modified versions of the official CN ROM and in most cases some things can't be removed or replaced successfully.
Also maybe I shall change the product code of my device. What do you think will it help?
Unfortunately in the X2-CU case I can only give general advices.
If you find a better ''solution'' please feel free to share it......Might help other X2-CU users.

  • BIOS //& Lenovo Battery Firmware Update Utility Dependency Wrapper

    Hallo zusammen,
    ich besitze folgendes Modell und benötige eure Hilfe:
    (hier noch einmal die genauen Spezifikationen:
    Turion K685(1.8GHz) 6GB RAM 250GB 7200rpm HD 13.3in 1366x768 LCD ATI Radeon HD 4225 802.11bgn wireless Bluetooth 1Gb Ethernet UltraNav 6c Li-Ion No preload)
    Ich habe folgendes Problem, das sich als eher umfangreich gestaltet; ich hoffe dennoch, dass mir jemand helfen kann & dies auch tun wird:
    Aufgrund der sehr kurze Laufzeit des Akkus (trotz guter Pflege) bin ich zur Update Utility (s. Betreff) gelangt und wollte das Update durchführen. Die Seriennummer meines Akkus habe ich selbstverständlich im README for the Battery Firmware Update dependency wrapper utilities abgeglichen und sie sind dort auch aufgeführt.
    Bei der Durchführung des Updates kommt folgende Fehlermeldung:
    Ein Update des Power Managements konnte ich durchführen, aber es scheitert an der aktuellen BIOS-Version. Laut READ ME wird als Minimum die BIOS-Version 1.18 (6ZET31WW) benötigt, ich habe Version 1.17 (85ET44WW) und auf der lenovo-Seite auch nur die Version 1.25 finden.
    Ich habe vor einiger Zeit einmal mit einem Techniker telefoniert, der alle meine Daten geprüft hat und mir einen Link zum Firmware-Update des BIOS (File mit dem Namen "6yuj11us") gegeben hat:
    Dieses wollte ich dann durchführen und es hat auch so weit funktioniert:
    Beim Klick auf "Next" kommt es dann aber sowohl beim Update des BIOS, als auch der "model number" zu folgender Fehlermeldung:
    Wenn ich dann im DRIVERS-Ordner in das erstellte Verzeichnis navigiere, finde ich WinPhlash (32 & 64), da traue ich mich aber nicht so recht weiter:
    Den Support kann ich nicht befragen, da meineGarantie abgelaufen ist und ich hoffe an dieser Stelle nun auf eure Hilfe. Hat das jemand schon einmal durchgeführt oder kann mir sagen, dass das (sogar im Falle eines BIOS-Updates) bedenkenlos ist?
    Vielen Dank schon einmal im Voraus!
    -R

    Von so einem Quatsch, den der so genannte Techniker angeraten hat, würde ich auf jedem Fall absehen. Auf der Supportseite von Lenovo ist eindeutig zu entnehmen, dass die BIOS Versionen 1.25/1.20 aus dem Jahr 2012 und die 1.15/1.17 aus dem Jahr 2013 stammen. Ich denke, dass es sich um unterschiedliche Geräte handelt und entsprechend eine bestimmte BIOS Reihe unterstützt wird.
    Im Readme steht:
    Versions 1.25 (for BIOS ID 6Zxxxxxx-based computer)
    1.20 (for BIOS ID 6Yxxxxxx-based computer)
    und
    Versions 1.15 (for Machine types: 0217 and 0250)
    1.17 (for Machine type: 0221)
    Ich denke, dass ich mit meiner Vermutung richtig liege.
    Wo du eine BIOS Version 1.18 beziehen kannst, das weiß ich nicht. Vermutlich gibt es keine neuere Version. Ich würde auch nicht krampfhaft probieren eine falsche aufzuspielen.
    Meine Frage ist, wie lange die Akku, so im Normalbetrieb reicht?

    Good to hear! I removed and re-installed synaptics drivers, but this doesn't help. You can't install that firmware update without drivers being installed on your system. Someone could try installing older synaptics drivers and then the firmware update. I don't have energy to do that.
    This really sucks.

  • [Lenovo Vibe X2 - AP]: SIM registration failed after firmware flashing

    Hello forum,
    I have a Lenovo Vibe X2 -AP, India version.
    I flashed EU ROM in my phone only to realize that EU is meant for single SIM devices only. So in order to get second SIM working, I put CU & then TO ROM I found on needrom.com. With these Chinese ROMs my second 2G SIM started working but first LTE SIM was not getting registered. So I put EU ROM again .. Now both SIMs are not getting detected. IMEI is shown as "unknown".
    There is no AP ROW ROM on the internet.
    Is my device unrecoverable now? Do I Have any option?

    Hello. can you help with my post. ?

  • ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock - Firmware update doesn't work

    Hello,
    My company has bought over 200 ThinkPad USB 3.0 Docks to use with HP Folios to connect dual and single monitors.  Some users have experience multiple issues with this product and I am trying to determine how to resolve these issues.  I first want to update the firmware that is located here:  http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/guides-and-manuals/detail.page?DocID=UM014961
    ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock - Firmware Update - Lenovo Docking FW Update Tool V1.0
    I have the USB 3.0 dock connected to the 3.0 USB port on the Folio.  The unit I am testing seems to be working fine as I have dual monitors up, external keyboard and mouse are working. 
    I ran the .exe, a command window comes up, and it attempted to look for the device.  The text is as shown:
    1. Initialzation<>   Success
    Start Search HUB
    !!!No device found!
    Press any key to continue . . .
    This has been tried on several devices and it simply does not work.  Does anybody have any suggestions?  I have contacted support which was a complete waste of time because they have no idea what I am talking about.

    I'm going to return my dock if possible.  My main problem is that I cannot view Vmware virtual machine which is required for work.  2nd I can't view photos on my dual screens, it just hangs saying "Loading...", but I can view them on my W520 LCD Display.  3rd, I can't view a downloaded video, as in an .mp4.  I disabled the hardware acceleration in Firefox, so I can see streaming video.
    I have a Thinkpad W520 and an X1 Carbon and both exhibit the same problems with the dock.
    I tried upgrading the DisplayLink Drivers to the 7.x version and that created a slew of problems.  The Dock firmware driver link in the OP doesn't work either.  As mentioned it couldn't find the device.  Uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling the stock one cause lots of problems with my W520.  The dock would try to connect but it kept connecting and disconnecting and the cycle would continue infinitly.   It wasn't until I did a system restore that I could get it working again to where I can use the dock again.
    I am extremely dissapointed with this dock. 

  • X230 SSD Firmware Update help

    Hello,
    We are currently having some issues with waking up a X230-2324CTO from a sleep. When awoken from sleep it is unable to open any programs. Programs for example an icon on the taskbar will glow up like if you would normally open a program but then will return to a normal icon like suggesting it was never pressed and no program will open.
    Our hope is that the solution is a SSD Firmware update. The have the system updated with every update available for the X230-2324CTO using System Update but this one remains.
    Tho we can't figure out how to do this SSD Firmware Update. We don't have a CD drive in this model and when using an USB external disk drive (Samsung) we are unable to boot to the CD.
    The question now is can someone provide us with a very clear step by step manual in how to create such a CD the documentation with the update FWSS31 is very poor to say the least. What do we need to create such a CD and how do we need to do it.
    Thanks for the support

    We are using a Lenovo preload of Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. We currently have 5 Lenovo X230 2324CTO laptops and all of these laptops have the same problems.
    One of these problems is that when coming into the office and they put there laptop into the Lenovo dockingstations and power up the laptop that when logged in the OS no program is able to load. There sometimes is a delay in this problem that for example they are able to open Outlook or a website but then no program is able to load. As I described earlier the animation for opening a program will occur on the bar but it will quickly just fade away. Also shutting the laptop off is not possible. It is possible to open the charm bar in Windows 8 and go to the shutdown option but on clicking the computer does nothing.
    Another problem is that the user is stuck on the login screen of Windows 8 simply saying Welcome with a loading circle which never stops.
    Only a forced shutdown (holding the power button for aprox 10 seconds) and restarting the laptop will make the laptop work again when either of these problems occur. These problems occur on random days. As I'm in the IT Team I know when a problem occurs and it can vary to a few days, every day or a few weeks even before it starts to show up again.
    I also checked the users and there behaviour in using the laptop but I cannot find any strange behaviour at all. As i also stated before we are running on every update that Lenovo System Update 5 can trow at us. I also installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology the newest version in hopes of fixing some of the problems.
    Thanks for the support.

  • Firmware Update for Samsung PM851 Family SSD's

    Just purchased a Yoga 2 Pro and found that it came with a Samsung MZMTE256HMHP-000L1 256 GB SSD. This is a member of the Samsung PM851 SSD family, which is essentially an OEM clone of the PM 840 EVO. The 840 Evo has well documented slowdown problems, and as a result, Samsung has released several firmware updates to address the issue. Several other OEM's have released firmware updates for their OEM versions. However, Lenovo has not. Is there a way to update the firmware of this SSD that I'm not finding? Supposedly Samsung Magician won't work. Thanks,C

    Lenovo did release an update utility for the Thinkpad series. Will this work with the Yoga 2 Pro?

  • ICH8-M AHCI Macbook Pro 4,1 : Firmware Update ????

    Why Apple has not updated the firmware of the chipset ICH8-M (Macbook Pro 2008 Penryn). What interest to buy an SSD, if only to be reining in advance with the SATA 1.5Gbps so it can support the SATA 3Gbps without problem!
    We hope that Apple does not forget that these models are not yet doomed to become obsolete and that many users are waiting for an update as soon as possible to see their performances evolved.
    I hope those who are in my case will raise their voices so that Apple can offer us a firmware update.
    PS - MacBook Pro models from 2009 had the same limitation, but were treated to an update: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3561

    I am aware that Apple is not the only one affected by this problem, however I found an article which stated that the amendment remains level software instead of hardware. So yes, Apple is stifling the ICH chipset model 3.1 and 4.1. The following models of MacBook Pro (pre-unibody) had the same problem in 2009, Apple was provided with an update of EFI numbered 1.7.
    Admittedly, I did not say it was not compatible with SATA 3Gb but this limitation does not really impact when using a hard disk, but is troublesome with SSDs lately. .
    Read this article (sorry it's in French): http://www.presence-pc.com/actualite/sata150-lenovo-35555/
    A player has managed to activate 3Gbits on a PC Lenovo http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=4882948#post4882948
    So it is useless to say that this is impossible.

  • SSD Firmware update fails

    In my T61p [6457-BQG, BIOS 2.29]  I have the Lenovo version of a Samsung 830 SSD [MZ7PC256HAFU-000L7]. It is recognised by the firmware update program [fwss29.iso] and I am offered the chance to update from CXM72L1Q to CXM75L1Q. But when I try to run the update process I get a big red error box with UPDATE FAILED. I removed the HD password before trying the upate.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    Have you tried changing the SATA drive access mode from AHCI/RAID/SATA (name might vary) to Classic/Legacy (again, name might vary) and then performing the firmware updateon the SSD?

  • Lenovo Vibe X

    I recently bought Lenovo Vibe X (S960), however there are no croatian language on it. Is it possible to install croatian language ? I suppose I need to install new firmware that has multilanguage support, but I cannot find such download link. Does anyone hava a link for download or is willing to make a backup of his firmware with multilanguage support ?

    You're already running a custom firmware....Unfortunately even the official ROW(rest of the World) firmware dosen't support HR.
    The easiest way to add HR to your phone is to root the phone(That's if you're not already rooted) and install THIS or THIS .
    If you're not already rooted use the latest Vroot version to obtain root access
    Hope this helps.
