pls help...

here is my question, how to get back original k3 note recovery which was installed at the time when I buy this wonderful device. First i install TWRP but Presently i am using CMW chinese lang...
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Check my index thread, 2nd post, just flash the stock recovery, easy.

The normal procedure is to flash a custom recovery and then in recovery flashing the SU zip to get rooted. Check my Index thread, it's in my sig.

All these things (root the phone, flash twrp, flash original recovery), can do by the software "Lenovo k3 manager", available on xda

You have to restart without driver signing on in order to be able to install the drivers. Google it.

I'm using Lenovo K50a40, Indian Version and I flashed the Dev version of Vibe UI ROM (v 3.0 from hackerpower's signature) . The flashing went all fine. Then I tried to reroot the phone but I noticed that the recovery was the stock one. So I proceeded to reflash the recovery using fastboot but it showed that the file had been downloaded but could not be flashed to the recovery partition. I thought of using SP Flash Tool to flash the recovery. I flashed AthlonX's material TWRP recovery and it flashed okay. Then on rebooting the phone I find it remains stuck on the boot logo with Lenovo written on white backdrop. There's also text written in a small black strip on the bottom left which says "=>Tool DL Image Fail" . The phone stays on that screen for a minute or two and then goes out. It's not even charging since the LED doesn't light up even when connected to power supply. Is there something I can d do about this. Please help me. Anything about this problem is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have this wierd situation with a sim card from Lebara Nederlands.

My K3 Note is with Android 5.1 (Andronium) and works well with sim card from 3 three countries in europe on both sim ports.

In Nederlands, the sim card sims to connect to the data of Lebara (gsm provider), some apps seem to work like (viber, messenger) but the browser doesn't. The error is that page cannot be found.

I have tried many different settings in the APN, that I found online and from Lebara's customer support but without luck.

Small detail, I don't live in Nederlands but I travel there. So I'm only interested in the data of the sim. This weekend I was at a friend there, so I put the sim card in a Coolpad f1 with android 4.4. The data worked directly.

Lebara can't help any more and I'm wondering what can be so different with Lebara that only their sim card doesn't work on my phone?

Obviously, I have tried restarts, limiting to the 3G and everything that I could around the settings.

For TWRP to be succeeded follow all the steps in the OP with one modification.

You just remove the battery immediately after executing the command "fastboot reboot" before booting itself.

Now go to recovery with vol+, vol- and pwr button and will be success.

Screen replacement

Hello everyone

I replaced my lcd and digitizer because the touch did not working on the original screen of K3 note

I have the following problems

The screen works and touch also when i power up the device but when i lock the screen from power button the screen 8/10 times never turn on and i can see only the backlight, if i press multiple times the power button it will turn on finally but i never know when it will. If i remove the battery and turn it on again , everything works fine until i lock the phone. The phone works when it is locked by the way. Also if i press the power button to unlock the touch works but i can see only the back light no image.

I tried to lock and unlock the screen with gestures , same problem.

The weird think is that sometimes it turns on.

One think i forgot to mention is that sometimes when the screen turn on after pressing the power button i see black horizontal lines for some seconts(flickering) and then they dissapear

I tried a lot of different roms, i disconnected and connected again, never sleep mode with safe locker , i disabled the proximity sensor with x posed , i removed the sd card, nothing helped.

Can anyone suggest me something else to do?

Changing screen settings maybe? and how

Thanks a lot and sorry for my engish it is not my native language

For all who are getting Lenovo recovery screen instead of CMW, at the point you type "fastboot reboot" press and hold at this time Up+ and Down- Volume and THEN press Enter... this way you by-pass the lenovo recovery mode and you enter CMW.

Look like above method not working for \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script in vibeui 3.1 Marshmallow

Stuck in $h!tsville

I found this thread while viewing this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWbSaJcONwM

I followed the video as a step by step guide as I'm a novice at all this stuff.

There was no mention in the original post or the video of where to put SuperSU so I put it in my memory card and selected that. Now all I get its the Lenovo logo, the starting one and after that phone screen goes blank.

In short, its not loading the OS.

Before doing this, last week only I updated the the OS to Marshmallow via OTA update.

All I wanted to do was to get proper read-write access to SD card for my apps like PowerAmp and ES Explorer, as I had in Lollipop.

I did try to reset the phone by erasing user data through CWM-Recovery mode thing but to no avail.

Please tell me how to get it back up and running.

Edit: In recovery mode, selected Unroot phone and rebooted the device. Now for almost an hour it is stuck on White colored Lenovo screen, an update in Marshmallow, with a small progress bar with Initializing written underneath.

Hi,

(Edit : Sorry answer to old post :/ )

i Received a new k3 note one month ago too. Mine was coming with an alternative rom (?! Not the official Lenovo...). Many bugs, and bad translation too...

I've searched during few days, which rom to choose. I've finally chosen this one on needrom : SLICK s424 ROW (Edit : not allowed to put link in my post yet)

I've chosen it for theses reasons :

- Android 6.0

- Vibeui AND Androit default launcher.

- International rom (ROW).

- no bloatware (or not found yet)

- Already rooted.

I don't regret it, nice rom :) .

Simple, no bug (until now), and all is working (I don't know about the 4g frequencies and second sim , I don't use them).

. Maybe there is better choice, I don't know, but if it can help you :).

Note : I read many good reviews on nexus and cyanogenmod roms too.

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

I've encountered the same problem, when installed my recovery.

Have you tried to boot with power + vol + up with USB Power source or charger? On battery it s a little bit tricky to enter in the custom recovery.

I've tried two recovery, i will suggest twrt.

Super Su Binary Not installing

Hi i am using lenovo k3 noter marshmallow version k50a40 indian version

Build Number: K50a40_S327_160517_ROW

Tried to root it via Lenovo k3 note manager 3.1 but the app was stuck at 4% while the screen was showing fastboot

So instead i installed TRP Recovery using spflash from rootjunkie/lenovok3 section.

Afterthat i proceeded to install Super Su v 2.56 from recovery and it showed all of it as a success, but on booting up Super SU was nowhere to be found.

I tried installing the beta version too 2.7 but still the phone just wasn't rooting.

Is there some sort of protection enabled in Marshmallow or am i doing something wrong ?
