To have full unmodded VIBE UI 3.5, you need stock recovery as well, otherwise no way.

You can try my app for stock K3 roms: https://xdaforums.com/k3-note/general/lenovo-rom-downloader-v5-0-root-unroot-t3415674 :good:

Sir I used the above process and successfully updated my device. My device model is LENOVO K50-T5 Build number is VIBEUI_V3.1_1622_5.440.1_ST_K50-T5 . sir I don't have a PC and I can't even root this with king root or any other tools. And Im badly in need of a custom recovery. I don't have a PC so can't install a custom recovery. I don't have root access too. Now what I'm planning is to downgrade my device to lollipop and root it and flash a recovery. To do this please help me. Or please help me with rooting my phone without PC. Or installing a custom Rom. Or a custom recovery.... Please help me... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[K3 Note General] adikri:
You cab try flashify or rashr to flash recovery.. And

For rooting you can try mobile rooting app.. Try Google them.. But use with precautions..
[K3 Note General] Bablu21june:
Sir I tried almost all mobile rooting tools but I didn't succeed.... And I cannot flash recovry trough flashing or rashr as they both require root access

[K3 Note General] Jawadpathan:
Hi guys, please forgive my ignorance as I'm not into these technicalities but the reason I'm here is to seek some help with my Lenovo k3 note. I searched a lot of internet but invain. My phone has signal problem while indoors and cannot install Google apps. Is it because of the default China based ROM? If so what should I do?

Please someone help me out.

Thanks
[K3 Note General] olgutza34:
having weak signal indoors is not ROM's fault. Are you using by chance a metallic bumper or a back cover? Maybe your provider signal was already weak, and indoor goes off. Check in system-about phone- sim status the signal. If goes below 100 dbm being outside, then change your provider.

Regarding Google apps, yes, you have to get rid of that chinese ROM first, alltogether with all the chinese crapware installed by default in ROM. Warning! If you have read a lot of materials regarding TWRP, SPFlash tools and stuff and you did not get the main ideea, then you should as someone more skilled than you to do it. There is a high chance to do something wrong and brick your phone.

You can go ahead with twrp and flash stock or custom rom.

Your device just got boot loop. It can be solved by flashing new rom or by flashing boot.img.

For rom check this link

https://www.needrom.com/category/lenovo/serial-k/

And note that next time for rooting any ron before flashing​ super su.zip should make backup of boot with the help of twrp recovery and after flashing of super su.zip restore the boot.

And at your current condition you can do one more thing

In this case you have to flash boot.img of k3 note. If you want boot.img email me to hrishabhchauhan123@gmail.com

Thank you for sharing your problem.

Hey,

I was trying to change the IMEI number using Chamelephon, but instead I lost the original one. The app is not working for me, I do everything right but after reboot there is no IMEI number. How do I restore my original IMEI number? I am using AOSPExtended 7.1.2 Nougat rom.
[K3 Note General] zelendel:
You will it find any help here. Messing with the imei is illegal in most countries in the world and as such all talks and tools for it are banned here.
[K3 Note General] Aditya781:
My sim card wasn't working so I thought it might have something to do with the IMEI. Can someone help me "recover" a "lost" IMEI number?
[K3 Note General] zelendel:
There are only 2 ways that are allowed to be talked about here.

1. Restore the backup of your efs partition that you should have made when you started.

2. Flash the stock firmware and hope or return it to the oem for repair which will most likely cost you.
[K3 Note General] Aditya781:
Flashing vibeui ROM fixed it. But the real problem still exists, my SIM cards aren't working properly. The signal strength is mostly low and something no signal, data connection is not working, whenever I turn on cellular data there is no traffic and if I try to access the internet the signal is lost. This problem has been there since days, before losing the IMEI. Changing ROM didn't help :( . Help me, please

make a quick backup and reset it to default factory settings, better from recovery, to be sure that everything foreign has been removed. Most likely you got something nasty on it, if you not dropped the phone and broke digitiser, acting as receiving random touches.

Is there any another way to flash twrp recovery without using sp flash tool.

Please help.....
[K3 Note General] locolyric:
if your phone is rooted.

use rashr to flash your or update the twrp directly in the recovery

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

use the universal modem files and flash it to see what's going on.

Not recommend vibeUI anymore as AOSP 7.1.x custom rom is more than stable now.

Anyone able to use 5Ghz network on MM or Nougat based rom? The app doesnt seem to work anymore
[K3 Note General] Aditya781:
Sorry for the late reply, I was busy with school stuff.

I flashed stock rom with sp flash tool, but no luck, still no signal. When I flash any modem files with twrp, the flash is successful but it says something like 'files not found' or something during the flash.

Also, when I turn on data (which doesn't work) a 'send SMS' toast keeps popping up at the bottom of the screen.
[K3 Note General] :
any reason you can think of that i wouldnt be able to use any android 7+ roms because of my cell service dissapearing?

when i tried 5 different nougat roms none of them would let me text because they said no service but when i went to miui 8 (android 6.0) it worked like normal, yes the imei stayed, yes i checked the settings in *#*#4636#*#* and they were fine and i also made sure that the sim settings in actual settings was good too...and engineer mode.

anyway, any ideas? (universal modems didnt work, copying modem from system/ect/firmware folder and replacing with a previously working one also did nothing)
[K3 Note General] Aditya781:
I am late again. I finally took the phone to the service center and they told me that its a motherboard fault and the repair would cost an unreasonable price as the phone isn't worth it anymore. So I bought the new Lenovo K8 note.

Booting into recovery only :(

I had Resurrection rom installed in my K3 note and needed to sell the phone. So performed a complete wipe of the internal storage and tried to install AICP rom later (TWRP), it shows flashed successfully, but whenever I am booting my phone, it always boots to recovery only. Downloaded the SP flash tool to go back to stock rom with stock firmware, but as soon as I plug my phone woth my laptop with the USB cable, (which is switched off at this moment) after clicking the download option in the SP Flash tool, it just again boots back to recovery and the stock firmware's download never happens because my phone has booted into recovery. So i guess no use of SP Flash tool too.

I am able to connect my phone to my laptop and can see my internal storage and i can transfer files too.

Any help,? :rolleyes: :(

Current rom flashed via TWRP - AICP v4.2 and Gapps micro (arm 64, pico) (Still stuck in booloop to TWRP only :( )

FIRST BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING MORE MAKE AN BACKUP (OF EVERY THING AND STORE ON YOUR COMPUTER OR AMYOTHER DEVICE AND KEEP AN COPY ON MOBILE TO)so if anything go wrong you can just restore it .You can find some guides on XDA on how to switch from super su to megisk . good luck and why don't you try custom ROMs better then stock one and they are fast fluid and with newer security update.

it dose not show photo (small or large) in case of incoming or outgoing call on vibe 2.8. It is available in the Indian ROM as you said small photo.
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
Battery life is much more than 4-5 hr, it has 2900mah, wich can last up to 2 days with moderate usage with heavy usage it can last for a day.

As for the lagg well it depends, i am sure that there isn't adnroid phone that doesn't lagg from time to time as for the k3 it does occasionally lagg but only for like 2-3 sec, i am using the row rom wich is good , maybe i will switch it but i will use this for 2-3 more weeks and see how it preforms (so far its good)

Hi All, I need help! Firstly though this thread is great but why no FAQ section???

Cut a long story short, got a Chinese K3 Note from GearBest (K50-T5) and because I don't trust any of the Chinese ROMs for it after reading all the negative comments regarding malware etc I want to set it on the ROW ROM path, my thoughts on this is its the best of both world's in the respect that it comes with Google services out of the box and there's OTA updates...

This is where my problems start, I downloaded the latest ROW ROM from the front page, and flashed it via SP Tools, it gets to the end after all the validating the checksum etc and I get the big white tick in green circle saying that it flashed successfully. When I then try to boot the phone I get nothing but a short vibration and aa blank screen.

I've flashed it a total of 3 times now all with the same outcome...

So that's prpblem number 1.

Problem number 2 is that I then went to try the ST Roms to see if I could restore functionality but when I try to load the scatter files from them (VibeUI 2.8 and latest 2.5) all I get is Invalid Scatter file...

I've opened the scatter files in notepad and the ST scatter files look very different to the ROW version so I'm not sure what's going on there...

Any help would be very much appreciated as I currently have a K3 Note that vibrates a d stays blank...

Thanks in advance, Adam.

*** Sorted it... All I did was went into Option and ticked the 2 DA Check Options and instead of using 'Download Only' I used 'Upgrade Firmware' and all is working perfect, flashed 112 of ROW Rom and it's updated via OTA to 121 all working very well indeed :) Happy days! ***
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
Yes but only row rom and the chinese stock rom have official ota updates, so that means only those roms will be automatically updated with Andoid M for the other roms you will have to manually install.
