How you guys change the phone to vibrate only in s422? I select silent mode using power button but it switch to no disturb mode.

But i want my phone vibrate when calls come in. Not ignore them.

Ignore my complaint.

Lenovo use another button for user to turn the phone into vibrate mode.

I thought that button is same as "vibrate while ringtone play "

Bricked my K3 Note while flashing 422 ROW.

Lost IMEI and S/N.

I'm already able to update IMEI using Chamelephon, but my S/N still shows 000000.

Tried using Maui META, but instead of S/N changing, ended up 1 more line PN.

Since then WiFi NVRAM 0x02 Sigh.

Tried SNWriter, etc., ended up mismatched NVRAM database. Sigh.

Anyone here successfully updated their S/N after bricked?

And anyone here know where to find the serial number on K3 Note?

I got look through below the battery. It shows as S/N: HA0Axxxx(xx)

I suspect this is not the correct S/N though.

Isn't S/N supposed to at least 12 or 16 digits?
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Maybe it only works for LP. Ask the dev.

The SN that appears in the about isn't useful for anything. The real SN is printed behind the battery.

I lose IMEI's everytime i flash a new rom. NVRam wifi error is already known.
[K3 Note General] wild_one_ro:
so here is a picture of a sn from a friend. it is clear that sn is HA0Axxxx. i have same problem my sn is 000000. i cant write sn from the back of the phone. but i also have at pn number that huge string of letters. i managed to write my imei and i dont loose it after a clean instal. nv ram eror disapeared after i flashed a copy of nvram from a friend. the only drawback is sn number.otherwise everything is ok.

i figer it out how i lose imei and gor nvram eror. when i flased with sp flash toll i selected format . do not select format. select firmware upgrade .
[K3 Note General] br0wni3:
So if I loose my IMEI, I can use the app which is mentioned in the first or second post to type it in again. So far so good.

But how do I backup it in the first place ?

Is it possible to flash any of the ota files using twrp?

I was wondering if flashing any of the listed OTA files via a custom recovery (twrp) the same way that you would flash the full rom would work or would it end up bricking the device?
[K3 Note General] barankas:
That's the part that I'm avoiding, lose IMEI everytime I flash a new rom.

As of now, I'm still using stock 422 ROW.

Who knows in the future, going to flash VIBE ST ROM.

Thanks for the advice, bro. I thought Format is like a factory reset.

Sorry to trouble you, can you provide me with a copy of NVRAM from your friend?

TIA.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Just edit the updater-script file of the ota zip, then flash it via twrp.

But remember ota is an update for a specific rom, so flash it over the rom only which it was meant for. And DOT NOT wipe anything.
[K3 Note General] wild_one_ro:
here is the my nvram . after flashing it with twrp u need to change imei with champelon or Maui META .

tell me if u manage with it
[K3 Note General] karthikdeep:
Here are the files you asked for. I just zipped the apks. Just extract the zip and install. For your information I got those from system/priv-app ;)

I'm running S422 ROW.
[K3 Note General] kavena78:
Thanks

karthikdeep
[K3 Note General] barankas:
Apologies, but how to flash it, bro?

no updater-script or anything in the zip file.
[K3 Note General] wild_one_ro:
twrp. extract in twrp bachup folder. thenn go to twrp recovery an thenn restore
[K3 Note General] xDEV007:
So you're saying if I edit the updater-script the same way I did for the rom and flash it, it'll work. I just have a few questions. 1. Has this been tested and is proven to be working? 2. Assuming it does work, will it remove twrp? 3. It works on rooted K3 correct? 4. And finally I'm running stock rom VIBEUI_V3.0_1604_7.209.1_ST_K50-T5_WC58CB6441 so I should be able to flash any of the (china) ota files including the dev ones right?

Thanks
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
1. Yes. By myself.

2. Depends.

3. Yes. Correct. But in most cases the root will be lost. And you will need to root again.

4. No. Not "any" of the ota. As I have said earlier, You can only flash ota over the rom which it was meant for.

For example:

VIBEUI_V2.8_1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5_TO_VIBEUI_V2.8_1544_5.192.1_ST_K50-T5_WC22.zip

This is an ota file for 1535 ST rom, to update it to 1544 ST.

So you can flash this only if you have 1535 ST installed currently.

And by the way there is no OTA for 1604 ST *YET*.

There is an OTA for 1604 DEV

VIBEUI_V3.0_1604_7.424.1_DEV_K50-T5_TO_VIBEUI_V3.1_1608_3.177.1_DEV_K50-T5_WC***.zip

And no, 1604ST and 1604DEV are not the same rom.

*For marshmallow ota, after flashing it using TWRP, you have to immediately flash patched boot image file.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Supposedly if you backed up nvram you woudn't lose your imeis, wifi mac, BT mac, etc but i tested it and it doesn't work.

Protect partition, etc have the SN and other info also.

Maybe it just works between same android version roms i don't know, it never worked for me.

But you never lose anything, you can always input imeis again and everytime you flash a new rom you get a new SN or not.

The software SN doesn't mean anything, it isn't useful for anything. You real phone SN is printed behind the battery, that's the only one that matters.

[K3 Note General] Scorchgid:
Beginning to have a moderate number of difficulties on Cucos92 rom (4 11)

Particularly with sharing a receiving images. It is unable to download or share them, I just get errors which don't really tell me much other than "Sorry, Messenger was unable to process the file" if I'm sharing from gallery to messenger.

And "The download was unable to complete. Please try again later" from Whatsapp

I was able to bypass the messenger problem by using the build in share system.

I do get quite a bit of lag but that's the limitations + loading a lot more apps than I need too.

I use an app called Yu-gi-oh pro. For some reason I am unable to either type in the text boxes (It's bizarre the keyboard will popup but my phone will pretend that it just is not there. (I'm able to circumvent this by using the "native keyboard" option (A setting within ygopro application)) or save my decks. On Nexus I was able to do this. The save deck is a real issue. (If anyone is intrested in testing/confirming this for me here's the link to the application - http://www.ygopro.co/HowtoinstallYGOPROonAndroid.aspx

I cannot set the default messenger, every boot it switches back to stock messenger. What's worse is that the stock messenger application doesn't display names, only numbers. If the application did display names I wouldn't mind so much.

In clearing recent applications if it closes the music application (Poweramp), it kills the music. Music applications such as Poweramp cannot survive being cleared, so you have to lock it down. (Now I am beginning to remember why I switched)

I get the feeling that there is a bigger battery drain, more likely when the phone is on wifi

Finally like others I am unable to place widgets on other launchers other than the native launcher.

Still I don't have random reboots like the nexus roms

Both roms seem to still suffer from random disconnects from the wifi. So automating with Tasker based on if it is connected to a wifi point becomes problematic.

I am aware that some of these issues are Lenovo's problem and some a Cuoco92 which i heard this isn't a stable rom however from the comments on his fb page nor is S422

"Latest Row 422 impressions.

Ram usage is bad. It needs 200-300mb more than previous MM roms. After reboot free ram is about 950-1000mb.

Internet is down when I use data traffic.

Tool shortcut has disappeared.

Random lags.

Wifi signal is unstable.

Dolby Atmos 1st option Virtual Surround NOT working.

Proximity and light sensors are lagging or not responding sometimes.

I did a clean install after factory reset and also advanced wipe on internal storage.

Is it possible that I needed to also wipe the system?

Pretty disappointed." He mentioned not wiping the system so perhaps he didn't do a factory reset before he flashed. I want to be cautious on the next rom I install.

[K3 Note General] hemeroidman:
I seem to have went from a phone which was rooted and with a working TWRP to one that is without root, TWRP and a working ROM.

I was updating to latest S422 TWRP version as posted by Stone-hendge so first i updated TWRP to 3.0.0-3 but for some reason with this version i couldn't see any restore s, i have several on phone. So at this stage i flashed an older version of TWRP only to find after reboot i no longer had one. I then used SP flash tools to try and flash VibeUI_Xancin but that didn't work and wouldn't even begin to flash without battery enabled even though my laptop recognises phone and says drivers and preloader ok. I have also tried 'ADB/Fastboot automatic recovery' as posted on first page by Hackerpower but that says 'device not recognised'

Im guessing if my laptop doesn't recognise the phone then its either something wrong with laptop (wouldn't surprise me the age of the thing) or phone is possibly bricked.

What I'm left with is first splash screen with a tiny line at bottom saying "-tool DL image fail"

Any suggestions would be welcome

hey [MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION], I am using the official MM update released for the Indian K3 note . I , including many others are having the problem of automatic sim card data on upon restart of phone. So to solve this , I went to the inbuilt notification log ( which stores the notifications even after removing them) which I think is present only in Indian version. In that was written " mobile theft security". So I clicked it and went to the app info where the official package name was wriiten ( com. lenovo..... ). An idea struck my mind . I just recently searched the forum for a software called "debloater" which helps to disable bloatware without root. It requires a PC. So I connected my phone to PC, ran the debloater software and from the list of packages, searched the one whose name I saw earlier. I ticked it and clicked DISABLE. Then I disconnected my phone, and rebooted.

AND VIOLA ....................... IT WORKED. NO automatic data on problem . So I just wanted to share my solution . you can also TRY!!!!!

I had a similar problem.

Try to reflash with SP Flashtools using other files(rom/flashtool) which can be found here: http://www.gizchina.com/2015/07/19/tutorial-stock-rom-cwm-google-play-lenovo-k3-note-k50-t5/

You can just follow along the instructions as well. This saved my ass a couple of times.

There probably is another/better way. but I'd say it's worth a try.

A little feedback from CyanogenMod v5.I use it for 4 days now. According my use I didn't notice any bug. So far 1 random reboot. Still battery percentage drops from around 40 to 20 in no time but I had the same with vibeui dev ROMs too.I think i'll stick to it.

I have similar experiences from v5. No bugs for me either :) Very stable rom for daily use..

And just to let you guys know, I'm getting amazing photo quality with oneplus's next camera I installed from "Cyan apps" - app found from play store! I actually just tried cuocos MM rom, but the camera quality was so crappy compared cm cam, I had to change back to cm12.1...
[K3 Note General] hemeroidman:
This didn't work on my crappy windows laptop. Problem i have is that phone isn't recognised at all without the battery installed. I have tried to trick it by briefly touching battery to phone terminals, this starts the flashing process but doesn't actually flash anything. Im going over to brothers tomorrow and see if his newer PC will fare any better.
[K3 Note General] greekfragma:
Having a question about flashing procedure's wiping options and please someone correct me if I am wrong but I can't find a proper answer.

I always like to clean install roms so I am using the factory reset wipe option on TWRP.

Then before I flash the zip file, I go to advanced wipe and I also tick internal storage.

I see on some roms that they suggest to clean System too. Can someone tell me if he is wiping System too and what are the things he lost?

I know there are ways to re-enter the IMEI and that cleaning System makes you lose it....but....is it the right way for a clean install? I thought that you just wipe the dalvik-cache-internal and system overwrites only the pieces that are getting updated. rest of things like IMEI and system drivers need to stay untouched or updated.

I would be grateful for a good answer. Not a 3 words one.

thanks :)
[K3 Note General] olgutza34:
[MENTION=622119]greekfragma[/MENTION]

I do not think that NVRAM (where IMEI is stored) is being touched, even if you wipe system. I have wiped system once and I did not loose IMEI that time. It is suggested to do so when switch to a different ROM structure, like coming from CM to VibeUI, but I didn't few times and nothing bad happened, those ROM's worked as expected (I speak about Andronium, Limoncello, AOSP) but anyway, I haven't tried them enough time. But IMEI was untouched in all changes, either wiping or not system.

I've lost IMEI when SP flash tools refused to work because of different partition structure or size, that time I had to wipe out entire memory and to write back IMEI's printed under the battery. Original phone box is having those IMEI's printed on a side too.

[K3 Note General] oldfold:
Hello.

Every time I flash a new ROM I always clean system, dalvik, cache and data that is the only way you know you are doing a clean install. There's has never been any time when I've lost my imei and I think I'm flashed ROMs on the K3 note maybe more than 200 times now testing everything new.

When you clean internal storage you are only wiping your files like pictures which actually do not affect ROMs performance or anything with the new system. So I do not see any need to wipe internal storage unless you are running low on space.
[K3 Note General] greekfragma:
thanks for the clarification guys. :)

So you have to flash 1611 and have stock recovery to ota update to 1613?

So which boot.img are you guys flashing now too be able to boot with a custom recovery and root access? Still the 1608 patched one? Isn't there a zip/script that patches any boot.img by now?

So any thoughts on this or should i also do something with the Ota's script?
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Wasted an entire evening trying to install 1613.

Used a lot of ways, a lot of strategies, and almost anything you can think of.

The closest to success was... Installed 1613, but i could only get to the desktop and then thousands of force closes of every single app started to appear at once. It was like all hell broke lose! Even the settings app had force closes!

Hands down on my part guyz. Eagerly waoting for a twrp backup or flash file of 1613.
