Does anybody know how can i extract the stock "recovery.img" file from Lenovo K3 note (without root of course)

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Finally figured out how to get to 1613 the official way (Thanks [MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION] for mentioning 1609)

- Flashed 1609 via TWRP, booted up (That replaced TWRP with STOCK)

- Flashed 1610 via Stock Recovery (maybe an unnecessary step)

- Flashed 1611 via Stock Recovery

- Flashed the 1613 OTA

But as it turns out that the stock recovery is important, now i need to extract the Stock Recovery.img for future use. Anybody knows the way to do that?
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Did you renamed all the zips to "update" in order to be able to flash the roms through stock recovery?

Isn't the recovery inside the rom zip?

Also the latest CN stock recovery is posted in the chinese foruns if i remember correctly.

After you had all that work, please post a fully untouched and rooted twrp backup, thanks.

[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Yes

No... there isn't. I tried to unpack the system.new.dat but failed to gain the system image.

I put on a glance on the first page but can't find it... Can you provide me with a link? Would be really helpful.

Ok... Will post a fully untouched rom as TWRP backup soon

Usual method of flashing GAPPs not working on 1613.

Also flashed trustzone.bin from 1611 into 1613 via SP Flash but still no success.

Phone stucks at boot logo whenever Gapps is flashed.

* Tried with pico and micro versions from opengapps

VIBEUI 1613 Untouched TWRP Backup

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5JFX1KT2nauR3JXcjRKWjA5d1E/view?usp=sharing

To root it, Just flash the patched boot img from 1608 and then SuperSU 2.46

*Anybody is welcome to find out how to flash GAPPs into this thing.

Hi,

i tried 1613 dev, no need to flash patched boot image to get root working (supersu 2.46), but with latest open gapps pico rom hangs

while booting.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
You probably tried the one which already had its boot patched.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Is this 6.0 or 6.0.1?

Have you tried installing gapps before rooting?

Sent from Hacker's K3 Note
[K3 Note General] zu4lu:
You are right.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
6.0 of course..

Before or after root, does it matter?

Hi, I am using AICP rom and recently registered for 4g network. They gave free 700 mb 4g data and 300 mb 3g data for 10 days (validity). I used the 300 mb 3g data but can't use the 4g data. The customer service guy said it's because of my phone that it does not have '4g only' network type setting, it has '4g/3g/2g' and the phone automatically registers to 3g which has 0 mb left. Help me quick! I have only 5 days left (validity)!

Note: I tried MTK app for engineering mode but it says, 'your phone doesn't seem to be mediatek device or your rom no have the engineering mode in system/app. Please investigate the problem.' or something like that when I try to open engineering mode.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Dial ####5994# from the dialer and select '4g only' or 'LTE only'
[K3 Note General] Aditya781:
When I dial that it says,' connection problem or invalid MMI code' ?
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Open up engineering mode, and from 'telephony' tab, go to 'network selecting'

And then you will find the drop down list box with the option.

If you can't open engineering mode, install engineering mode shortcut from the play store

Hello,

I would like to share my review about the rom I have installed K3_NOTE_MM_6.0_1610_3.40.1_v16_ROW_D_CUOCO92.

So let me start with what's not that good.

The first difficulty I noticed is with Bluetooth low frequency. I have a xiaomi MI band and a smart bulb (lamp) I could connect with them very easily and fast when I had the android 5.0. It was very hard to connect with the xiaomi MI band and impossible with the smart bulb. Also the smart lock feature is now useless due to the Bluetooth problem. Speaking of smart lock, the face detection is not working as well.

Usual problems with Android 5 are still present with this rom too when the launcher is changed.

An other problem I noticed is setting an app as default. I have installed Google sms (messenger) and can not set it as default. As soon as I accidentally open the default sms app it will ask me again to set it as default again. Also I get the same request once I restart the phone. The reason I installed did is to create a notification with the xiaomi MI band to make it vibrate when a sms is received. I couldn't find the default sms app that comes with the rom.

While typing a sms, I could change the font size with the volume buttons, with this rom I can not.

Can't say too much about the battery. It drains faster now but can't complain because the Bluetooth stays activated all the time.

Will post more details if I find others.
[K3 Note General] oldfold:
You might be the only one using that ROM. People are busy working on the latest 1613 while others are on 1611 DEV and ROW 422 .. Maybe you should upgrade.

[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
It must be clear to you mate that ALL Cm based Rom's does not support MTK app for engineering mode and also those codes are not functional so i ll suggest to you dont bother doing this or ask the Developer of the AICP rom
[K3 Note General] speakingcolors:
I tried restoring your 1604 backup through TWRP and now it always boot into recovery mode no matter what I do... Do you have an idea maybe?
[K3 Note General] Aditya781:
So should I let it be and never have 4g on my phone? (look for my actual problem couple pages back)
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Just flash another rom!
[K3 Note General] speakingcolors:
Is there anyone else here that gets into problem when trying to flash another rom on it? I been able to get out of the boot recovery loop problem I had... but I flashed roms easyly on 4 other devices without any problems, this is the first time it gives me theses kinds of problem.

When I try to flash a new rom, it almost always boot forever without ever going into the OS itself. I have to wipe and flash the rom again like 5-6 times before it gets it...

P.s. For theses who might get into this bootloop problem I had, I solved this by wiping system - data - cache - dalvik and installing a new rom WITHOUT rooting immediately when prompted to.

After playing few days with 1611 and reverted to old thrusty 1604, i tried yesterday 1609 stable. Better than 1604, good RAM usage, good battery life ( wifi must be turned off overnight, power drainage alleviated but still present) fluent and fast, managed to squeeze another 1000 extra points in Antutu, now the score is 48338. Received right away an OTA update, first of your ROM's where OTA updates actually are received.

Few things, let's say not bad, but not good either. Add intercept option dissapeared from SecurityIT menu, I enjoyed that function. Also, double tap2wake up became double tap2unlock, meaning swipe2unlock being redundant. Power button also unlock directly the phone like swipe2unlock.

I am not very attached to these options, but it may be some wrong manual settings of mine? On top of that, the weirdest thing was that I wiped up in recovery, flashed 1609 over presumed wipe 1604 and it turned to be a clean .... dirty flash!!! All apps were back at their places, personalised settings also.

Another big thumb up for your work, maybe I should start to follow your directions in Androidiani's page also

In order to have some battery saving enter mtk engineer mode and disable 2G/3G/4G that you don't use/need.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
No, you can have 4G on both sims one at a time (but i think it's only for data connection, not for network).

No, the dev builds don't have this option. Don't know, maybe.

Hai Guys and gals,

I'm coming from my broken LG G3 and just yesterday arrived my Lenovo K3 Note and I immediately rooted the device as well as flashed twrp and rockin lemonchelo ROM which is nice and most of the time sufficiently smmoth. It's not on par whit G3 performance but close enough for the value of the phone. OK, can you guys recommend what is in your opinion most performance tweaked ROM out of the bunch.

hello,

which rom have a good camera, have good performance and whithout bugs ?

Actually I'm on the ROW ROM, and it's very not perfect !
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
From my perspective:

LED notification is not a deal breaker, I have sound and vibro and I do check my phone often, so its not like a miss notifications because I don't have light blinking, but yeahh it would be great addition to the ROm

DT2W is not a deal breaker also, I can push the button no problem and guess what, screen turns ON

Dont know what are you talking about low resolution, maybe you think about DPI?!

So, to call it unusable is a bit unfair don't you think so?!

What does make it excellent choice is very good performance for heavy users who really do some acctual work on the phone and not just sitting on the table or in the pocket doing nothing most of the time. Whit this Nexus ROM I'm actually on par whit my LG G3 running custom AOSP ROM, and battery life is a tad batter on Lenovo, so that is a hell of a comparation.

Guess this ROM is not for you and that's good for you. I'm still recommending Nexus ROM for all peeps to try it out and see for them self's .

Your reading skills are lacking. You are the one seeking short cuts whenever possible. You could read a little, invest some time and learn a little, do actual testing and take care of yourself. You are the only one that can judge which ROM suits you the most, so flash away. My answer and recommendation is a one post above. :) ?

Hi

First of all, I want to say that I am new to this thread so I haven't read every post in it, though I have searched the thread for what I want..

As you can see below I'm using the Indian version of the K3 Note (K50a40), that is the reason for my doubt. Will the ROMs for K50-T5 work on this version?? I have seen people using it here but many posts said that they were different and as this version requires certain trick (removing battery) for rooting using the method for K50-T5, and the title of this thread says K50-T5, my doubts are increased..

So, will anyone be so kind as to answer my question, please??

I'm really sorry if this has been asked once.. And can't this be added to the OP and also remove the K50-T5 from the title??
[K3 Note General] stephendt0:
Lightflow works for LED notifications on the Nexus 8 ROM. You need to be using direct mode and root mode, and there's only one colour and it stays lit, but it does work. It's good enough for me (I use a smartwatch anyway). D2TW I do miss, but it's not a dealbreaker by any means. Performance and stability (and battery life - hot damn!) trumps that anyday. Maybe one day we'll have it.
