LENOVO S750 MTK6589 - Wookash - 2013-07-01
Hello guys, I'm new to this forum.
Since there are many of you more expiernced in china phones, I hope I can get any info and help as to my lenovo s750 which is running a mtk6589 chipset.
I got this phone, from china by et.... well known company. Unfortunatelly the buyer (who was not me) didn't order a new modded firmware, and it was supported with the original chineese one, hopefully rooted by a chineese program.
The first problem was lack of google play store. I've tried to install it from apk, but it only crashed. The solution I found to that was more then simple, just to copy few files into system/apk dir, using root and google play works.
I've even managed to remove most of chineese apps, that were not usefull using titanium backup pro.
What I did not manage to do, was to run GPS. I've tried the method on deleting mtkgps.dat and using mobileunclemtk tools, but mine still does not find "any" satellite. Do you have any other suggestion, as to what I could do, to fix the GPS? Or maybe this GPS is just f...cked?

I've tried many times, but fortunatelly I've managed to run GPS also.
As a solution I paste for future how to run google play store and GPS firs for chineese MTK6589 chipset. Maybe someone will need it in the future.
Just one thing - make sure your phone is rotted - I got mine chineese already rooted.
You need a rotted file explored - I use ESfileExplorer - link below.
Download and copy the content of zip archive below. Copy this to either to you SD card, ord phone storage - just to locate it no problem.
Then run ES explorer (or any other), find that archive you copied above, and select all the files within. Copy them into system/app (make sure your root options in setting are all "checked"). Then find theese files in system/app dir (helpfull sorting the files by modification time), and change their atrributes to READ (all three USER/GROUP/OTHER) / WRITE (only to USER), leave everything else blank.
After that restart your phone. Then you should have the google play store available - enjoy
As for GPS fix, after doing the above, turn off GPS, but ensure you wifi or net connection is on. Download Better GPS application, and GPS TEST from play store. Run it - choose your continent and country. Then go to settings/ location access, run GPS there and tap it. Next enable EPO (download latest) and AGPS. Run GPS TEST place the phone either outside under sky, or near the window. It should connect within few seconds. If it does, you can disable AGPS and EPO, also uninstall BetterGPS app. For me, it catches fix in few secs now
if any questions feel free to ask - ENJOY!!!
