ROW ROM can't be flashed thru twrp, better avoid it has WiFi bugs now (s117)

Go to his index page and download this -++[LiMoNcHeLo NovAMoD MDSTeam VibeAosP]++ it is better than stock and is full English, nothing Chinese.

It can be flashed thru twrp from SD card..

This is the *only" ROM for now is best for gaming suggested by Bidhyadhar and has nil lags almost. VIBEUI_V2.5_1529_5.1063.1_ST_K50-T5_WCBD which is the latest Chinese ROM.

Flash it thru twrp and NOT stock recovery. Download link below.

You should take responsibility of removing Chinese apps and installing gapps. :eek:

To switch back to Indian ROW ROM simply flash with sp tools and u may receive ota after that.

Hi, sorry for my bad english but...

I've a huge problem with my Lenovo K3. firt I'd installed the LENOVO_K3_LOLLIPOP_5.1_1529-DEV_ROW_v1.7_CUOCO92. Everything was ok but with OTA there came an update from Lenovo "VIBEUI_V2.8_1531_7.146.1_DEV_K50-T5" which I'd installed too. Now there is no playstore etc.

I tried to use the bootloader for installing the old version from CUOCO92 but thers is no chance because I can't delete the official Lenovo Recovery Mode. Thers is no chance to install the recovery.img etc.

Lenovo Music endlessly playing all my songs

Any of you guys experiencing a problem about music player? The thing is when I play songs (playlist or all songs it doesn't matter) the songs just won't stop. I mean, for example I have 10 songs in the playlist, after going through all those songs, Lenovo Music will go back to song number 1 ( or if in shuffle mode, it will play a random song again) and keep going until it finishes all songs, and after finishing that 10, again will keep going forever. First I thought the problem was about Repeat Song and Repeat Playlist function, but I think it's not about those because Lenovo music only let's choose 1 function at a time. I know if I pick Shuffle mode, Repeat Song and Repeat Playlist will be disregarded.

It happens while using the stock music player (the one in Chinese language). So what I did is I uninstalled that using Root App Uninstaller and replaced it with an extracted Lenovo Music from another thread(it is I think the latest version), but the problem still exists. The problem doesn't show using other 3rd party music player though, but I really want the Official Music Player from Lenovo.

Can you guys help me please? :) Thank you in advance.

If I use your method will this wipe my ROM, factory rest or leave it as it is? As I'd rather have a method to install a recovery but not affect the rest of my device. If this isn't clear please let me know.

Well I can say for certainty that it did.

I know have a larger issue. Data refuses to mount or wipe. When I try to send a command to wipe or repair it it fails. I do not know why and I'm stuck.

I've tried reflashing recovery as well as flashing a rom to which it fails as it cannot mount data.

It's a chore to just get into the recovery as for TWRP it tries to repair the section then reboot causing it to go in a loop. Using the other 101 recovery this one is more stable.

Why trying to flash my ROM it displays the message.

"mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/userdata at /data: Device or resource busy. "

Yeah I'm in big trouble here.

Just flashing only recovery.img never wipe anything except default recovery. It is better to keep stock rom if you are newbie. Otherwise you have to do flashing rom for every update.

I would suggest to keep stock recovery. Because you will Miss the ota update by your vendor if you are rooted or flashed custom recovery.

Your problem has nothing to do with the recovery you flashed, unless you have flashed a recovery that's not meant for your phone. Flash the right recovery for your phone, enter it, wipe/format everything and flash a rom of your choice.

The built in weather app only works for China. No way to change recent apps UI, it's VibeUI.
