    19. Extract CWM into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot". You may rename it to"recovery.img".

    20. Download these files:20.1.VIBEUI_V1.5_1427_3_ST_K910_C316.zip (CH/EN) :

    https://yadi.sk/d/m2jNdz5-VvDgvRename to "rom.zip".

    20.2.GAPPS : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 . Suggest to useMini Modular Package. Rename to "gapps.zip".

    20.3.SuperSU : http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu . Rename to "update.zip".21. Connect K910 to PC via USB. Ensure Debug Mode , i.e. Step 3.22. Copy file (20.1), (20.2) & (20.3) above into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot"

    directory.23. From this directory: "Shift keyboard" + "Right-Click mouse" to run "Open command window

    here".24. In Command prompt, type and ENTER:

    24.1."adb devices". You should see K910 is detected. If not, repeat Step 2 all over again.24.2."adb reboot-bootloader". Your K910 screen shows "lenovo" image.24.3."fastboot boot recovery.img". K910 is now in CWM recovery.

Check success status at K910 screen.Note: If at any stage, after you run the ADB SIDELOAD command, the command prompt returns"error: device not found" or similar, you have to start all over again starting from Step 2 onwards.This error occurs due to driver incompatibility with Windows XP/7/8/8.1 .

    27. Use K910 VOLUME buttons to navigate to "Go Back" > "Reboot system now".28. Select NO when prompt to fix the root. The rebooting process takes about 5 minutes. Be

    patience. It is NOT brick or hang.PANIC MODE:I am still believing Android phone(s) cannot brick. If at any stage, K910 does not reboot properly, orhang, or freeze, just press-hold for 10 seconds the POWER button and repeat Step 11, 12, 13 & 14.At least K910 is not brick and you can still use the K910_SS_S_2_040_0109_131226 stock JellyBeanROM.All the best.!
