Give me patience...

It's all in this thread! As i said the 1st 2 posts of this thread have everything you need for our phone.

Oh no, another one...2nd post of this thread, under Latest ST/DEV Rom's.

Really guys? c'mon.... I have all this work to keep this thread updated (i know i haven't updated the custom rom's section in a while, but i don't have much free time these days) and organized and still there are users asking for roms which are posted in the beginning of this Index thread? Really? :crying:

And to make matters worse there are other users posting different links in my Index thread for the same rom's posted here.

Which only confuses more the noob users.

No to mention that this is a Index thread and all Q&A should be posted in the Q&A thread of this thread, right here:

http://xdaforums.com/android/help/qa-lenovo-k3-note-k50-t3159625

C'mon guys i'm losing my patience...:(

I say it again for the 10000000000 time, you can only flash 1 thing at a time!!!!

Did you booted to system after the restore without flashing nothing else as stated in the instructions???

Patience, patience, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...:angel:

What do you mean by assistance?
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Hey hackerpower!

I am taking a moment here to appreciate your work.

On behalf of every one here, we want to thank you for your hard work on the thread, and yes, don't lose your patience and of course, don't stop updating the first two posts on this thread. Those two posts really helped & still helping out people owning a K3 Note.

And on behalf on everyone being the reason for your headache, I just want to mention the obvious fact that this thread has now become the OFFICIAL thread for Lenovo K3 Note which is in ENGLISH. So all the folks having a K3 Note comes around here searching for answers and help! And so if you want to get angry at something, get angry at the popularity of this thread! :laugh:

Yet again, I must say, I, and people like me gained a looooot of knowledge from this thread.

Thank you!

If you would have read the whole reply then you could have noticed that I just wiped everything, restored the 1602 ST backup and then booted up till the setup wizard. There I get the "Unfortunately, WLAN has stopped" message.

I DID NOT flash anything else before booting --> hence, I DID read what you have written 100 000 times. AND yes, I have been waiting for about 15 minutes after the booting was finished but still got that error.
[K3 Note General] kongha:
Hey hackpower. You started this index thread for yourself and for fun. Now when it has become some sort morbid form of FAQ then you should maybe ask the mods to lock it down for awhile so you can have a nice break from these. often rude questions (yes its rude not to bother to do some reading by yourself and just keep asking and asking). Also during the lockdown time the rude ppl maybe will find away to use their reading skills once again.

Thanks a lot for your hard work, Ive learned tons by just reading.
[K3 Note General] nejcov:
+1 :good:
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
First of all let me just say that you don't mention in your post whether you flashed something else after the restore before entering the setup wizard or not.

And the error you report is a common known error you get if you flash gapps after flashing a new rom.

You do realize you're asking for the help of the guy that made that backup and tested it and still you're being rude.

Let's continue, you never wipe internal storage, that's just suicidal.

And depending on which rom you were, if it was vibeui, you didn't had to wipe anything, only data if you were coming from a different rom. Everytime you restore something, twrp first wipes, then formats then restores.

If you do have a full Nandroid backup, try restoring the nvram it might work.

If not, kindly and politely report here to see if we can figure it out. Maybe there's a problem with my backup.

Sorry for the hassle [emoji6]

Thanks for your reply.

It was not meant to be offensive, but I did have written that I was just restoring the provided backup before starting. Anyway, this is not helping anyone if we just argue whoelse's statement is true or not.

By now, I have restored my backup of the Cuoco92 1552v3 rom. And yes I have tried again with the backup file and got the same error. When I boot back into TWRP and try to flash GAPPS it tells me that already an older version of GAPPS is installed. Therefore I was thinking that the backup files may be the source of the error because I did flash several other roms as well as backups without any issue.

So for you everything is working as it should?

I have actually read everything posted on this thread and I have to say it has given me most of the answers I needed. The only questions worth asking here are those to do with discoveries in new ROMs. Nothing else. If you're still asking basic questions then you don't deserve to have an internet profile. Cave Man
[K3 Note General] uan:
I have to agree with [MENTION=7227180]mue91[/MENTION]. The 1602 ST twrp restore file has the wifi error. Workaround: flashed other rom (lanyang1602.zip - the smallest filesize i can find), then restore the 1602 ST. All good. Thank you.
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:

[MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION], Hi bro do you know if I can update my current 1550 dev to 1604 without wipe? 1550 is 5.1 while 1604 is 6.0

Edit: Okay from my research you must be on 1602 or lower if want to flash 1604 6.0 and must flash stock recovery and remove root! Also many bugs are expected!
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
It shouldn't be any problem, as long as they didn't implemented major changes in the VibeUI, but try it and report.

[MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION]

Installed VIBE UI 3.0 1604 DEV on my lenovo, then flashed gapps, few errors mesages, stopped after goggle services updated . Last stable RAM I had since I got the phone was indian ROW S_137, based on Lollipop 5.0. Still keep a good backup of it, already tested and restores fine, only whatsapp needs to be reactivated, but is normal. Indian ROW had flashed it with SP Flash tools, having included TWRP 2.8.7.0 and supersu install option, very handy.

1604 ROM is stable and fast, no major improvements in terms of battery life, few more tricks added, compared to 2.5 VIBE UI. It worth struggle to eliminate some pesky chinese apps, still some pages shows chinese characters along english text. One small issue, notification LED not working, though all setting are correctly done. Light flow didn't help also. For the rest, everything works great.

Forgot to mention, under 1604 Antutu benchmark enriched with another 2000 points, 47.935 now versus 45k and something under S137.

A BIG THANKS!!! for your work, I really appreciate restless people like you, people who gives a new life to our everyday gadget.

[MENTION=359798]uan[/MENTION] Thanks for your help. Flashed the lanyang1602 and then restored. Now everthing works.

Hello, so could we flash the rom android M with TWRP ?
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Thank you, but this is a one man show.

You can still help me, whenever you see lost souls in the thread point them in the right direction.

No.

You have to be on official 1602+ st/dev, unrooted and have stock recovery.

[K3 Note General] jordandroid64:
ok, thanks, but how I can go to lenovo recovery ? and after I need to flash twrp with SP flash tool ? thank you
[K3 Note General] zwiebug:
enter fastboot mode on k3 note, open cmd on pc, enter "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" you will get the stock flash recovery from here : https://mega.co.nz/#!XkplnJ7L!_pIqrvjGMFPMbZKkOISpYwGspwZYTdL_bPEXdKyGp2c

of course, you need the proper fastboot.exe on your pc, and your bootloader has to be unlocked. this can be done in the developer menu of the phone, there is an switch for "unlock OEM bootloader". at least i needed to check that switch before i could use fastboot on my k3 note.

you could also flash stock recovery with spftools, but the fastboot method is more convenient, i guess.
[K3 Note General] jordandroid64:
Thank you and after I could flash TWRP ? How with spflashtool ?

Thank you very much
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:

developpment version

[MENTION=6026840]stone_henge[/MENTION]

Sistem update from VIBE_UI 3.0 1604 1.7424 recognise this version as being developpment version. Having TWRP and chinese apps cleaned It is supposed to receive a stable version via OTA? or at least an anouncement that a stable version is released, in order to download and install it via TWRP? System update says that the last stable version is 1602.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
This version is not supposed to be out for public release so it won't appear as official release in system upgrade.

[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
I did somewhat the same thing, but what i did, i think, wrong, was flashing the 6.0 rom over 1553 dev. I think you need to flash this over 1602 dev?

Also, from the screenshots there, I don't see much of a difference of interface or UI of android 6.0 than android 5.1 in VibeUI. Guess I'll just stick to current 1604 dev with android 5.1, and wait for more tested 6.0 rom from the officials...

hi , i have tried the marshmellow rom and this is how to update :

1 - i have 1604 dev rom 5.1 + xposed + supersu ...... on my phone

2 - second flash the official recovery via spflashtool

2 - reflash the same rom 1604 dev rom 5.1 from system update ( open system update app -> more -> toolkit -> install a specified update parch -> and select the 1604 dev (5.1))

3 - after the phone boot normally ,(do not root your phone), flash the android 6.0 rom via the system update app the same as the previous step.

4 - finaly,it will take some times to boot

after one hour of test, the rom was fluid but it have a lot of bugs : cant access to internal storage + wifi nvram error + cant root it with supersu 2.67 beta ( the phone stuck in boot logo ) ...

so i will wait until the official dev come out

But the R icon near the network has disappeared. pls can some one upload the modem files :laugh:

[K3 Note General] Lord AJ:
Thanks for the reply but I already figured out how to recover the phone. I allowed the battery to drain and then switched it on normally without pressing the buttons for booting to the recovery. This led to the phone booting up just fine with stock VIBE UI 3.0 still there.

I have come to the conclusion that there's a certain mechanism in the phone that prevents installation of custom recovery a d replaces it with stock which was perhaps the reason why the phone got fine on its own.

Then I tried installing a custom recovery again with a different version of SP Flash Tool (the one packed with the stock ROM archive in hacker's index thread) this time, and voila, it worked.

Anyways, thanks for the reply.

Thanks [MENTION=4728673]Cuoco92[/MENTION], will add it to the modems folder, but VibeUI lollipop is already 3.0

And flashing this modem or the modem from 1544 ends up being almost the same, you have to flash a modem after you flash the rom and that sucks! In my case using 2 sims, the R roaming sign sometimes appears in the 2nd sim after a restart but after a while it goes away and never appears again, not even after a restart.

Keep up the good work! :highfive:
