general information
Foreword
For the correct interaction of your electronic friend and personal computer, you will have to install the driver. The definition of driver is:
Spoiler
Driver (English driver, plural drivers) - a set of files with which the software or the operating system gets access to the hardware of a certain device (text editor - printer, skype - web-camera, paint - scanner). Usually, drivers for key hardware components are supplied with the operating systems, without which the system will not be able to work (video adapter, hard drive, keyboard ...). However, some devices (such as a video card or printer) may require special drivers, usually provided by the device manufacturer.
First postulate
According to the specifics of my hobby, I had to interact with all Lenovo devices supplied to the Russian market. Drivers for Lenovo smartphones built on the MTK processor platform are identical, with the exception of some instances, therefore, the drivers laid out in these instructions and recommendations for their installation are universal and will suit everyone.
Second postulate
Drivers for Lenovo smartphones are divided into 2 types:
- Operating mode drivers include:
USB drive mode. A driver is not required - it is built into the OS itself. In simple words, connect like a USB flash drive. By connecting the smartphone to the PC as a USB drive, you disconnect your smartphone’s SD card from the smartphone, transferring it under PC control.
MTP (media device) mode.A driver is not required - it is built into the OS itself. A feature of Windows XP is that for this mode to work correctly, installation is required Windows Media Player version 11 from Microsoft and run it at least once. In this mode simultaneous access to the SD card from both a PC and a smartphone.Definition of abbreviation MTP:Spoiler
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is a PTP-based, hardware-independent protocol developed by Microsoft to connect digital players to a computer. Unlike the USB disk protocol, MTP does not operate on sectors, but on files. Thus, a player that connects as a flash drive is fully trusted by the computer; connected via MTP - independently responsible for the storage and integrity of data and, thus, can play some tracks at the same time as recording others.
Camera Mode (PTP). A driver is not required - it is built into the OS itself. Same as MTP, but only the DCIM folder is visible. Used to view photos and videos from the device’s memory.
USB debugging. Designed for development purposes. With its help, you can copy data from a PC to a mobile device and vice versa, install applications on the device, view log data, remove the log files of the smartphone, etc. - Special mode driver. Used only a few times in the life of a smartphone - to install firmware through a utility . The smartphone enters this mode when it is connected to the PC when it is turned off.
Third postulate
- For successful driver installation, you must:
- Not all drivers are signed with Microsoft certificates, so these OSs may ask questions during the installation process. We do not pay attention and press the button "Install Anyway" .
- To unpack archives with drivers, use the archiver 7zipthe latest version of which can be downloaded from the developer's site 7-zip.org

Thanks to the use of new software versions, it is possible to optimize the operation of devices. One such program is lenovo update. What is it and what is the software for? This will be discussed in this article.
FunctionsLenovo System update
The program is designed specifically for Windows operating systems and is used to install or update drivers on Lenovo devices. Also, System Update software applies settings for BIOS and all kinds of applications. It is worth noting that the manufacturer does not recommend updating both BIOS and other applications at the same time. In order for all updates to be successfully installed, you will have to download System Update more than once.
It is important to verify that the correct version of the program is being used. The fact is that for Windows Vista and XP one version of the program is installed (3.14 and later), and for Windows 7 or 8, version 4.0 is required.
First of all, you need to run lenovo update. Its placement may vary slightly, which depends not only on the version of the program itself, but also on the operating system that is used to operate the device.
- For Think products using OS 7 or eighth version, you should go the way: “Start” –All programs –Lenovo– System Update.
- For the same devices running on Windows XP, you need to perform the first two clicks, as in the previous case, and then specify Thinkvantage and proceed to update the system.
- For Idea series devices, after All programs, specify Lenovo Care and start the system update.
When the program is launched, you must click "Next", and then click on "Get Updates." Another option is to find this link on the left of the menu. If you need to update the program, you need to do this, and then restart it.
If all actions are performed correctly, the active process will be displayed in the search window. Then you have to agree to the terms of the license agreement and click “OK”.
- important - they must be installed;
- recommended - it is advisable for the user to familiarize themselves with them and, if possible, install them;
- in addition - options for the used system;
- optional - can be installed if necessary, but not necessary.
When the required line is selected, click on "Next".
If you need to postpone the installation, you will need to select the update, and then point to the arrow, which is located under it. Its data will open. It is necessary to set a mark in “Delayed installation”. It is worth noting that updates will be downloaded, but not installed. If you need to immediately install, you will have to click the appropriate item, not forgetting to specify which drivers are required.
Program problems
If lenovo update does not want to work adequately, you need to determine the reason that led to the failure. To do this, you will have to check the version of the program. As the facts show, most users carelessly follow the recommendations, so the majority of cases of inoperability of the program occurs precisely because of the incorrectly installed version.
