Rooting and backing up the ROM on the Lenovo A850

Welcome to another tutorial. This time we’re starting things off with our first look at the Lenovo A850. And our first step is a very important one – backing up your current ROM before messing around with settings or experimenting with installing custom ROMs.

For this simple step-by-step guide, we’re going to be using a Lenovo A850 and various free apps to root the phone then simply install a custom recovery. This allows us to then make a nandroid backup of your complete system.

Before we start though, a disclaimer: by flashing a new recovery or using your phone with root access, you may be voiding your warranty. We take no responsibility if your phone is damaged or bricked by following these instructions.

Rooting the A850 is very simple. You don’t even need to download any files. Simply follow the link below to install Framaroot directly on your phone. You can then run it according to the instructions in the video. To check that the phone has been correctly rooted, use the Root Checker app. You can also use this to verify whether your phone is rooted if you’re not sure.

For backing up your ROM, you need to install a custom recovery which only works if your phone is rooted as above. Before you start, it’s easiest if you’ve already downloaded the recovery image you want to use and put it on your phone’s internal SD card. Just download it from the links below then unzipped them somewhere on your phone. You will then be ready to start following the instructions in the tutorial video.

All the files and apps you need to follow this tutorial are linked here:

How to Unlock your Bootloader on Zenfone 5 (A500CG/A501CG) [With Video]

Donwloads:

Method 1 toolkit : Donwload from author's blog here.

Method 2 toolkit : Download from my Google Drive here.

Fastboot tools : Download from MediaFire here. 

By the way if you have followed any of my previous tutorials like Multi-user mode or Installing Xposed on Lollipop your Bootloader is pretty much unlocked. Still repeating the process double ensures it. 

Okay so before we get started with this let me remind you again that the official method works on Kitkat and not on Lollipop so you need to do it manually. This will void your warranty and prevent you from getting OTA updates though I doubt ASUS will ever push out any..

SO PLEASE DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

There are two methods as I will show in my video too, so if you don't like reading see the video from the Link below.

 Check out the tutorial video instead. 

 METHOD 1 : So the first method is an automated method and made by SatySatsZ B and you can download his tool from here.

So once you download the tool and extract it with the password connect you phone via USB(make sure ADB Debugging is enabled) , run the Bootloader-Unlock_Relock.exe and press 1 and hit enter. Let the process complete and you will have a unlocked boot-loader and you can progress with installing CyanogenMod 12.1 on your Zenfone. 

Learn how to install CyanogenMod 12.1 on your Zenfone 5. With a video tutorial.

 METHOD 2 : The second method is manual. You need to download the Toolkit from above. 

Extract the files and copy them to the Fastboot folder. If you don't have it you can download it from above.

Connect your phone via USB with Debugging enabled and in the fastboot folder press CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK and select "Open command window here"

Then type out this command and hit enter

          adb reboot bootloader

Your phone will reboot to your bootloader. Once there you need to flash the three files. Type in this command first and hit enter.

          fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img

 when that is done you need to reboot the bootloader. Type the following command and hit enter.

          fastboot reboot-bootloader

When your phone reboots into the bootloader you can continue to flash the second file. Type the following command and hit enter.

        

          fastboot flash dnx dnx_fwr_ctp_a500cg.bin

 When that is done go ahead and flash the last file. Type this and hit enter.. 

           fastboot flash ifwi ifwi_ctp_a500cg_unlock.bin

 Now your bootloader is unlocked and you can continue installing CyanogenMod 12.1 on your Zenfone from the link above. If you don't want to read, follow this video from the link down below.

Listing of adb Commands

The table below lists all of the supported adb commands and explains their meaning and usage.

Category	Command	Description	Comments
Options	-d	Direct an adb command to the only attached USB device.	Returns an error if more than one USB device is attached.
	-e	Direct an adb command to the only running emulator instance.	Returns an error if more than one emulator instance is running.
	-s <serialNumber>	Direct an adb command a specific emulator/device instance, referred to by its adb-assigned serial number (such as "emulator-5556").	If not specified, adb generates an error.
General	devices	Prints a list of all attached emulator/device instances.	See Querying for Emulator/Device Instances for more information.
	help	Prints a list of supported adb commands.
	version	Prints the adb version number.
Debug	logcat [<option>] [<filter-specs>]	Prints log data to the screen.
	bugreport	Prints dumpsys, dumpstate, andlogcat data to the screen, for the purposes of bug reporting.
	jdwp	Prints a list of available JDWP processes on a given device.	You can use the forward jdwp:<pid> port-forwarding specification to connect to a specific JDWP process. For example: adb forward tcp:8000 jdwp:472 jdb -attach localhost:8000
Data	install <path-to-apk>	Pushes an Android application (specified as a full path to an .apk file) to the data file of an emulator/device.
pull <remote> <local>	Copies a specified file from an emulator/device instance to your development computer.
push <local> <remote>	Copies a specified file from your development computer to an emulator/device instance.
Ports and Networking	forward <local> <remote>	Forwards socket connections from a specified local port to a specified remote port on the emulator/device instance.	Port specifications can use these schemes: tcp:<portnum> local:<UNIX domain socket name> dev:<character device name> jdwp:<pid>
	ppp <tty> [parm]...	Run PPP over USB. <tty> — the tty for PPP stream. For exampledev:/dev/omap_csmi_ttyl. [parm]... &mdash zero or more PPP/PPPD options, such as defaultroute,local, notty, etc. Note that you should not automatically start a PDP connection.
Scripting	get-serialno	Prints the adb instance serial number string.	See Querying for Emulator/Device Instances for more information.
	get-state	Prints the adb state of an emulator/device instance.
	wait-for-device	Blocks execution until the device is online — that is, until the instance state is device.	You can prepend this command to other adb commands, in which case adb will wait until the emulator/device instance is connected before issuing the other commands. Here's an example: adb wait-for-device shell getprop Note that this command does not cause adb to wait until the entire system is fully booted. For that reason, you should not prepend it to other commands that require a fully booted system. As an example, the install requires the Android package manager, which is available only after the system is fully booted. A command such as adb wait-for-device install <app>.apk would issue the install command as soon as the emulator or device instance connected to the adb server, but before the Android system was fully booted, so it would result in an error.
Server	start-server	Checks whether the adb server process is running and starts it, if not.
	kill-server	Terminates the adb server process.
Shell	shell	Starts a remote shell in the target emulator/device instance.	See Issuing Shell Commands for more information.
	shell [<shellCommand>]	Issues a shell command in the target emulator/device instance and then exits the remote shell.

How to Reset Your Forgotten Windows Password the Easy Way

Forgetting your password is never any fun, but luckily there’s a really easy way to reset the password. All you need is a copy of the Windows installation disk and one simple command line trick.

Resetting Your Forgotten Windows Password

Boot off the Windows disk and select the “Repair your computer” option from the lower left-hand corner.

Follow through until you get to the option to open the Command Prompt, which you’ll want to select.

First you’ll want to type in the following command to backup the original sticky keys file:

copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\

Then you’ll copy the command prompt executable (cmd.exe) over top of the sticky keys executable:

copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe

Now you can reboot the PC.

Resetting the Password

Once you get to the login screen, hit the Shift key 5 times, and you’ll see an administrator mode command prompt.

Now to reset the password—just type the following command, replacing the username and password with the combination you want:

net user geek MyNewPassword

That’s all there is to it. Now you can login.

Of course, you’ll probably want to put the original sethc.exe file back, which you can do by rebooting into the installation CD, opening the command prompt, and copying the c:\sethc.exe file back to c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe.
