[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord AJ:
I'm having trouble rooting the K3 note flashed with VIBE UI 3.0. 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. Earlier I couldn't boot into the phone due to the above mentioned problem. Then I waited for the battery to drain and then powered the phone on normally (without pressing the button combination for recovery mode) and the phone booted up just fine but the recovery was the stock one .

From all this, there's one thing I've concluded- that this phone has some kind of defense mechanism that protects against installing a custom recovery. This occurred even when I tried rooting on Stock 2.5 VIBE UI. That time I overcame the problem by flashing recovery using fastboot and then booting directly into the recovery instead of system. Now, however, fastboot isn't able to flash the recovery (the transfer of the image is successful but the flashing fails) .

Finally, I request anyone who can help me in any way to Root the phone or to get a recovery installed to please reply.

Thanks.

I got full recovery using TWRP is it possible to flash modem from that

If I understood correctly, you have a full backup of your 1524, and yes you can flash only the modem from there I guess... It should work.

Help!

Can someone provide a new method to root my phone which is the indian version having marshmallow 6.0 because I tried using this method but it did not work. When I launched the supersu app it says 'There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!'. I noticed that while flashing the supersu file it was showing 'system-less mode, boot image support required' and

'-Decompressing ramdisk

---Failure, aborting'

which were not there before while I was rooting my phone and was in lollipop.

The process was completed after that and I was able to reboot my phone but the device was not rooted and only the supersu app was there which was showing the message I mentioned earlier. I would really appreciate a help because i want to restore all my apps through titanium backup and without root it would not be possible.

Hello. I'm currently running Vibe UI 3.0 the developmental version, and I just downloaded the 3.5 update. I remember, the last time when I flashed 3.0, the recovery for replaced with the stock recover and I had to use SP Flash Tool to flash the recovery (TWRP) again. At present, I don't have access to a computer (and don't hope to for at least 2 weeks) . Therefore what I wish to ask now is that is there any way to not loose the currently installed twrp 3.0 after flashing Vibe UI 3.5?

PS: I know that I'll have to edit the updater script before I flash. Is there anything else Ineed to know. Thanks a lot for any help.

Hi, i know it's a bit late, but i am using Lenovo K3 note (k50a40) as my secondary backup device and thought of flashing a Custom ROM with pico gapps. I tried flashing multiple ROMs (Ofc one at a Time) and fell in love with OS lineage. At the beginning i flashed it through TWRP (Which i flashed using SP flashing tool) without Rooting and it was a success. After that i flashed other couple of ROMs like RR, Carbon. But while reverting back to stock ROM i was puzzled by his to uninstall TWRP so i Flashed the stock ROM using SP flashing tool and mistakenly forgot to uncheck Preloader which i later came to know could potentially brick my device. But lucky me i was able to flashing my stock ROM by Formatting my device completely (Shown below) and then flashing it using Format everything+ download option from Download tab.

So now the problem that i am facing is I am not able to flash Lineage 15.1 through TWRP, While flashing i get two errors lines saying (E Unknown command 0) that i suspect. And after the flashing when i boot the device if just gets stuck in the LENOVO screen for 6+ Hours.. Any help would be appreciated.. PLEASE HELP...!!
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonHD:
Dunno what made you post in this old thread, as this is obviously for the much outdated CRM recovery, NOT TWRP. You could've benefitted much more if you posted it in the Questions forum.

Anyways, the problem could either be caused by two things: 1) The TWRP version or 2) The ROM itself. Please specify your TWRP version, and see if the same error occurs if you switch to another TWRP (preferably by a different creator).

BTW, I don't know why you chose to use SP flash tool. If you wanted Stock firmware, there are many stock (VibeUI) ROMs available to flash through TWRP. I recommend downloading from needrom.com instead of here.

and

VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_5.955.1_ST_K50-T5_WCA8.zip

The first one is an excellent Rom. Much superior than the Storck Rom. It contained some excellent features, especially Secure Zone Management, and Users options under the Settings. But only drawback with this Rom is comparatively fast draining battery.

In the previous stock versions (1511 and 1522), under the SIM Management there was an option to select as to which SIM (1 or 2) should use 3G/4G services. Its not the case in 1524 Stock Rom. Any help so that I can switch between Sim 1 and SIM 2 for using 3G/4G services?

First sorry for stupid question, but it's my first time to unlock bootloader, root the phone, install custom rom and etc. I ordered my phone from minideal, they promise it will have play store and many languages ( not only EN and CH ) but send my phone with stock chinese rom with ****ing chinese apps, without play store, and with not 100 % translation on English. Many things are in chinese, and it very annoying. Now I want to install normal custom rom with play store and many languages. I read the thread, but I'm a begginer and I have problems. In all way I don't want to brick my phone, It will be very sad. First of my questions

How to download this:

I don't have play store and I can't download this. I try many ways to download and install this app but I can't :(.

And second question. Does it compulsary that zip file SuperUser to be inserted in the sd card ?

SuperSU is for rooting. If you want to root your phone you need this.

If you want to install VibeUI rom don't install rom and GAAPS together. First install the rom and let it boot and then go back to recovery and install gaaps.

After flashing rom first boot is take long time.so don't worry if it takes about 10 to 15 min. And be sure your battery has enough charge.

At the end I suggest you LiMoNcHeLo rom.it is rooted and it has google play installed.so you need just flashing the rom.

What's about in German?

Hello,

I'm from Germany, and I got the K3 Note (K50-t50) since 4 days.

I've removed the system apps (Bloatware-****) like DU Battery & Booster, AVG with Kingroot and any more. And the "Safe Center" and the App-Manager dissappeared. (But this is not so bad)

So much the worse is the valued at only 70% of Translation in German, the rest ist in mixed englisch-chinese (or mandarin?)

But if someone says, the LiMoNcHeLo-ROM is very good (smooth, without bloatware and more?), has anyone some screenshots & videos for demostration? Based on Android 5.0 (Lollipop)? It this avaible in German too? Maybe completetly or 90% of German, the rest in English? (hope no chinese, sorry. Maybe 0,5% *smile*) Must I reenter my 2 IMEI in the new ROM? And the Camera-App is the same like in the official ROM? (I like it *smile*)

And sorry, my English isn't good. The language isn't part in my daily routine. :)

Edit: what's about the LED-Notification for another Apps like WhatsApp, Facebook-Messenger and similar Apps? In the offical ROM, the LED-Notification is only for missed calls, unread SMS and Mails, and another like WeChat, QQ, Weibo (don't know anything about this 3 Apps)
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironss:
I can recommend the lemonchelo. It has no german sadly. But its fully english. It has another app for camera AND the original camera Lenovo app. So you can remove the one you dont like. It doesnt have many bloatware but you can remove any bloatware because its rooted. You can use Titanium backup to remove bloatware, which is also included in the rom.

You dont need to reenter your IMEI(sim-card) into the ROM. For the led I read something about the "light flow lite" app. Havent tried it myself but you can try. I think the battery also improved a bit.
