[MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION]

I was wondering if you experienced any bugs with the Xposed framework, since the only version we can use is in Alpha phase.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackerpower:
I only was able to install xposed on 5.0, it depends, sometimes you can get lags/freezes but it's very rare. Everything works fine here, the problem is that not all modules work or are fully compatible.

Don't know what it is they are the same exact bands that i use here in Portugal and everything works ok. Maybe it's a network coverage thing. Have you tested with your sim in another phone in the exact same place to see if it picks up 4G? Which rom do you have? In some roms the 4G icon doesn't appear unless you have data on.

You can't flash it unless you are not rooted and have stock recovery.

Indian ROW rom with OTA 117, added lenovo music player, default RU region, sd card write rules for non-system apps, root and gapps installed, CWM/TWRP flashable.

https://yadi.sk/d/Vv22C6Ifhzpzz

You have to edit the updater-script and remove those lines of code. Either that or edit your build.prop so it matches the updater-script. But i don't know if it will work. Why don't you just dirty flash the russian 117 zip i posted above?

It has nothing to do with that.

Dido...

Install Limonchelo, any doubts PM me.

You're wrong, sometimes the usb cableor the drivers of the PC malfunction in the midle of a flash and brick! But it's easy to recover from brick!

It doesn't work because it's wrong! The correct commands to flash the recovery should be:

adb reboot bootloader (for connected phone to enter fastboot mode)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

You have many options of doing the same thing, any doubts PM me.

You flashed a bad/wrong recovery or had a driver problem during the flash. You can try reflashing a good recovery via fastboot or via SP Flash tool, if it doesn't work you'll have to flash a stock rom in SP Flash Tool.

Same answer for you as the above, you did/used something wrong, any doubts PM me.

support of OTG to HDMI in Lenovo k3 note

Does lenovo k3 note indian version support OTG to HDMI...

[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rydraj:
Okay, so, according to you, if I do full unroot and flash stock recovery, OTA should work but it didn't so do you know what else is being checked ? I see that you mentioned the build.prop, may I know how is it being changed, when I flash custom recovery ?

Well, "fastboot boot recovery.img" worked on my previous Lenovo A6000 plus, I used to install OTA after doing full unroot as I only had stock recovery. Instead of flashing the recovery, the command directly boots from it so we can root/backup/install rom etc without having to install custom recovery.

EDIT - Forgot to mention, I flashed the stock rom using SPFTools, installed OTA updates and restored data (that I had backed up previously). Everything is working fine as of now.

I need that 117 update zip
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fexo:
I did the latest (big) OTA update and have now deleted almost all of it. What I did note, though, is that in the small partition containing the Lenovo PC Suite (Chinese) there is now "Lenovo Mobile Assistant" which allows you to back up the phone but also to do screen shots if you want to put something directly on your computer. Looks nice compared to the PC suite (I have an old English version).

I have a problem here guys

In my phone i was in the stock rom

I did all of these steps and worked perfectly

I used cwm to install the latest VibeUI gapps and to root my phone and worked.

And now VibeUI uploaded another update so I went to system update and downloaded it

The problem is when I hit install it says that my phone is rooted and it will fail installing

I continue and install so it goes to cwm to install and fail.

I flashed the stock recovery and tried to install the update from settings but also fail.

Can anyone help me ?!

Searching for an hour ago and cant seem to find the right answer.

Can you please give me a quick answer that can help me.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WearySky:
There's a very quick answer: you can't do OTA updates if you've rooted or have custom recovery installed. Even rolling back to stock recovery and unrooting, I haven't been able to get OTA working.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackerpower:
Obviously you haven't visited my index thread, you can find there CWM/TWRP flashable s117 row rom and all the OTA's separately.

Are you going to continue on that road?

Wake up! :victory:
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WearySky:
That's not doing an OTA update. That's downloading modified flashable versions of the OTA updates, which is entirely different. :)

I said you had a CWM/TWRP flashable S117 ROM

and all the official ST/DEV/ROW roms and OTA's
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WearySky:
Then how do you flash the OTAs with custom recovery, without errors? Doesn't work for me.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustafa Mar3i:
So What Should i do

I unrooted and installed the stock recovery

I saw your index but i realy dont want to flash every update separtely .

What is the solution to get the ota updates to work ??

Please Help :crying:
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackerpower:
Official OTAs are only flashable with stock recovery, but i guess if you edit updater-script and eliminate all lines that cause problems maybe you could use them in custom recovery.

I've never root and unroot to try and install ota, only have done it always in stock and not rooted.

Why don't you dirty flash the russian s117 rom?

You have to flash every ota separately you can't update from 112 to 117, believe me i've tried.

So you're ota are not working? Don't you get the system update notification saying there's a new ota?

[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WearySky:
That's the point that I was trying to make - that having the OTA files doesn't mean that OTA updates work if you've rooted/flashed a custom recovery.

On this topic towards the bottom of the second post there is a flowchart. Now currently I have a 5.1 version of lollipop on my phone. Now I'm quite certain that my rom is not touchwiz.

I am not sure if it's ARMv7 or ARMv8?

I did find a /system/lib64 folder on my phone so am I right in thinking I should install romracer's unofficial ARM64 version?

---------- Post added at 17:10 ---------- Previous post was at 17:07 ----------

Yes, I believe that's to pin your app. Once you pin the app It prevents the user from exiting till they enter a button combination (I don't know if it varies from rom to rom, mine is hold the back button). You'll likely find more information about it in your phone's security settings. It was designed so young kids couldn't exit the game they were playing when their parent gave them the phone etc.

Ignore that!

Okay I reckon what it must do is if you have a close all button although I can't see one. If you have say a few apps with the locks on, then when you press close all it will close all except the apps with the locks on. So for example it wouldn't close your music player etc.

Ok. I will lay out my assumptions in what I will do . Please correct if wrong and give solutions where possible.

1) I cannot use spflashtools as that requires the ROM to be in USB debugging mode. I just restored my default ROM with that setting off

prior to TWRP looping

2) I cannot use spflashtools as that requires phone to be powered off ( with battery still in ). Why cannot? Because if the USB port supplies

power, the phone will temporarily show charging animation, before booting into TWRP!

3) So I need to try installing ROW ROM from within TWRP. In the resource page http://xdaforums.com/android/development/organized-thread-lenovo-k3-note-k50-t3158522, the ROW ROM is listed. Is that ROW ROM already in the right format for TWRP to install?
