I recently faced the same problem. The solution is simple: after installing the new rom, boot into recovery and wipe the internal storage.

TWRP path: Wipe->Advanced Wipe->check Internal Storage. I guess the respective CWM path should be something similar.

Unable to Root

Hello, I followed tutorials to root my Lenovo K3 Note with CWM and SuperSu,

and all the steps are completed without any errors, but when I check with Root Checker,

it says the phone is still not rooted. I searched online, but it seems no one has answer

why is this not working for me and some other people.

Please, does anyone have an idea how to root the phone in this case? Is there any

other alternative method, or a solution?

Thank you!

Screen Protection

Since K3 does not have Gorilla Glass, I tried the tempered glass screen protector, after I applied it, there is a gap on all the sides, this will accumulate dust and its kind of a problem, have anyone tried this and if si could you please replt wheather your tempered glass leaves gaps after applying.

NB: I have attached a few pics showing the problem, also is tempered galss a must, since I read somewhere that K3 uses hardened glass or something like that.

Thanks for any help.

A quick call for help

I have bought k3 note for about 2 weeks now. From today afternoon my phone has just stopped receiving network signals. All the time it is either no signal or just a single bar which disappears immediately. The phone has worked very good so far with no issues. Today suddenly the problem has started. The sims are working fine in my older phone so there is no issue with the sim cards. I have taken the phone to another location where the same problem persists so area problem also unlikely. If anyone could help me out please. Thanks

Which Rom is best.

Yesterday I installed stock Rom 1522 without gapps and super su. it worked fine. But when the battery level was 15%, I connected charger and when it reached 80% charging paused, saying Battery temperature too low. Whenever charger was connected, the same message was displayed. The battery level was decreasing but it was not at all charging.

I then switched to another Rom VibeUI2.5_abroad_0603_NanJ.zip. The battery has started charging now., but I feel it is draining more quickly as compared to stock Rom, otherwise it is ok.

Just found another stock Rom

ht*tp://*phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_5.955.1_ST_K50-T5_WCA8.zip (remove stars).

Would it be a safe option to switch to this stock rom?

Hi everybody,

I bought my Lenovo K3 Note in may, since then I was using Limonchelo Nova Mod rom from hackerpowers thread. Now I would like to flash VibeUI v3.0 to it via TWRP - so far ok, but I read in hackerpowers thread that you have to edit the updater-script file, do the numbers and everything has to be exactly the same or is it just the four lines which need to be deleted? Cause in the VibeUI v3.0 some numbers are different, just what I noticed, so I thought I'll be better off asking.

Then I would like to flash gaaps from opengapps.org, I think its correct to choose just "ARM" and 5.1 stock.

One more question to Patches/Fixes, is it better to flash them right away after flashing the rom, gapps and root. Are these fixes/patches only for VibeUI or are they for many different roms? And how about the modems/radio/basebands? Should I flash it right away?

Link to hackerpowers thread. To Post #2 directly.

Sorry for all those questions, hope you can tell me if it would be good going this way.

Thank you very much for your time and help!

You can't wipe system before flashing latest Vibe Ui ST/DEV roms, all the zips do is patch the already existing OS.

Hello everyone,

I'm having a little problem with my camera. I'm running Androium 5.1 (but the exact same thing was happening with 1544 vibeui3 lemonade). Sometimes when I open an app which uses the camera, from google camera to messenger, the camera freezes- it is still working but updating very slowly like 3fps and no its not related to ambient light.

After monitoring my system for some days with Cool Tools I noticed that there is a process called "logd" which is almost always running, sometimes being the most resource-intensive process. And thats when the camera becomes unusable. I do believe this does not happen in safe mode, but im not 100% sure. It's pretty random so its a pain to deal with.
