It's already on needrom for a long time. And the links on ydss are from gdrive so why do you need mirrors?

[MENTION=6026840]stone_henge[/MENTION]

1628 DEV is out! Unfortunately there's no full rom again, only OTA. I've tried restoring my untouched 1627 DEV backup and then restoring the 1613 DEV recovery but no luck flashing the ota update.

I'll have to try and extract the 1628 DEV recovery from my phone once it's flashed (it should work for my phone, since it's signed just for it right?). And then see if it works on the next OTA update. It will be, restore my full untouched TWRP backup and then flash back the 1628 DEV recovery, hope it works...

It's curious that if you flash this 1613 DEV recovery and put an update.zip of any stock rom it will flash withou any problems, but if you try and flash an OTA directly through the phone's update procedure you get a reboot at 24% and the phone says it's updated but it's not. Maybe we can move the ota zip to the root of internal storage and rename it to update.zip and try...will try that the next time if the above procedure still doesn't work.

But by now, i'll have to flash from 1621 DEV all over again....getting really tired of this process.

Tried two days ago Blend Rom, no issues initially but when updated Supersu got caught in bootloop after reboot. No R sign during tests. Reversed to TWRP backup done previously. During weekend I will check upon this again. Still, RAM usage bigger than usual AOSP, and too many tools written in system.

Just tried renaming an ota zip to update.zip and put it in the root of internal storage and it works! It flashes without problems.

I'm in the loooooong update procedure right now...will post 1628 DEV TWRP backup asap.
[K3 Note General] Meteordust:
Yep tried that, doesn''t matter what I put on or off, data, roaming, R sign is always shown in my case and irritating, for the rest rom looks super smooth. Back to CM12.1 st5 and give aosp pure a try later.

Bro Flash K3 note modem patch will solve the R sign issue.
[K3 Note General] Meteordust:
Installed this rom two times, everything works but don't have a clue why I got the R sign " bug ", All settings are no different then I use on any other rom I flashed so far. Maybe it's my sim card. Using a telecom provider that is on the network of other telecom provider.

Thanks Bro but which modem patch I need to use, can make (extract system.img, make flashable zip) myself any modem patch I want and tried a 1544 dev patch, 1614 and 1622 but none worked.

Sir, How when & which GAPPS to install?

I am unable to install GAPPS.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
First using Titanium Backup, unfreeze and then uninstall, pre installed google apk (services framework, account and play services)

Next flash gapps package directly through recovery.

You can use Slim or Open Gapps.

After the 1st boot give all the permissions to everything google including the setup wizard.
[K3 Note General] panchalgl:
Big thanks
[K3 Note General] Meteordust:
Just take the modempatch from previous post, open it with 7zip as "open archive" walk to the system/etc folder, remove firmware and mddb folder and inject the firmware/mddb folder from any rom you like, close 7 zip and flash it with twrp, that's it, it will do auto reboot. this is a full intergration of firmware/mddb folders.

You can also remove the line, "delete_recursive("system/etc/firmware"); in updater_ script file and only replace the modem_1_ltg.img and lwg files from firmware folder but do full replacement of the mddb folder, more save, depends on the rom you using.

That's the way I do it.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
First of all, I appreciate the long update process you made and a big thanks for keeping up the good work with full twrp rom backups. :good:

There is a way to avoid this long update process. Backing up just the untouched system and recovery won't make it work because the boot image is needed too. (They sign the boot & recovery with system image, so we need to have them altogether).

So, basically, after updating the rom to the very recent rom, you need to backup the original "boot", "recovery", and "system" partition. (Using 'readback' in sp flash tool)

Now, whenever new OTA appears, you can flash these original three partition images to the phone again (using sp flash or TWRP), and then download & apply the OTA normal way.

NEXUS v3 aka NEXUS MM by dr.root

Features:

-LED (with init.d script)

-very light (306MB)

-better performance

-some updated libs

-updated modem

-updated SystemUI

-fully Lollipop AOSP look and feel

-multilang

-no root (SuperSU)

-no GAPPS (use opengapps.org ARM64)

ROM Install

Step 1: Download my ROM and copy on a SD card

Step 2: Reboot and press Volume UP+DOWN buttons to enter the custom recovery

Step 3: Wipe

Step 4: Install the ROM

Download can be found on needrom.

It seems like this is his last ROM for our phone:

"This ROM is really fast and look like android should always look, clean and vanilla.

This is my last update because i don't have time anymore for android modding"

I haven't tried the ROM. I'm just sharing the information you see above.

I won't add screenshots or a review.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
I did all of that i just didn't had the 1627 DEV recovery, i tried with the 1613 posted by you.

But i think if i had renamed the ota to update.zip and put it on the root of internal storage it would have done it.

This time i downloaded all the otas at once and put them in internal storage, then i renamed them 1 by 1 to update and flash them through stock recovery, everything went fine and it's faster then through the system update procedure, plus if your battery is below 15% the system update doesn't work that's why i tried this.

Will try with next ota to see if it works with both methods stated above.

[K3 Note General] adikri:
Thank you so much..
[K3 Note General] Meteordust:
Normally you only replace the two modem_1_***.img files in firmware folder and all files in mddb folder.

But make sure you remove the line in updater-script file "delete_recursive("system/etc/firmware");" otherwise you will remove the whole firmware folder and only put the two modem files back and end up with major problems due missing files.
[K3 Note General] adikri:
Do you have anything for sensors friend ??
[K3 Note General] Meteordust:
What sensors you mean?
[K3 Note General] adikri:
Gyroscope, magnetic, and orientation sensor...

Actually I'm using nexus by dr root it it has those sensors problems..

I tried take lib files and others from working s427 rom to nexus but it didn't work..

Can you suggest something..??
[K3 Note General] Meteordust:
I believe Dr.root is using Cheshkin's kernel, it's not that easy with just copy the files from one to another, you have to dig deep in all related files.

You already tried his V3 that just came out yesterday??, it has updated libs maybe your probs are already solved and also has updated modem.
[K3 Note General] adikri:
Modem is fixed but still sensor problems all the same..

Do you the procedure to fix sensors brother..??
[K3 Note General] Meteordust:
Sorry mate but don't have the procedure to fix it instantly, coz not using K50-40 rom's and Dr.Root rom.

Best way to find a rom that has Cheshkin's kernel as well with working sensors and look at the differences and start from there. or contact Dr. Root to look into the problem.
[K3 Note General] adikri:
Alright... No problem brother And thanks for your help..

If you find anything in future for sensor..please share... :)
[K3 Note General] :
Guys, most of you have been asking for stable cm13 Roms for our device.. and we know that all the Roms have been using Cheshkin's kernel.. and yes the best kernel for k3 note supporting more features than the stock kernel(oc, governers). In order to get a better cm13 and future developments on our device k3 note we need Cheshkin's kernel developments to continue..

He sold his phone(k3 note) due to encryption problems and now the work is stopped.. so kindly donate to him and please vote over this forum for him to get a new phone (k3 note) such that his work on the device will continue and we get a better development on our device..

http://m.vk.com/wall-94647113_27532

Please use chrome and translate the page and help in the donation.

PS. Remember all the aosp 5.1 aosp 6.0 PAC man sudamod and other Roms have been stable because of his kernel
[K3 Note General] externus:
Is there anywhere a official statement by Cheskin?
[K3 Note General] :
Yes there is an official statement by Cheshkin.. please use a translator and look on the forum from page somewhere between 90 to 118.. where he mentions he sold his k3 note because he couldn't develop any longer.. After long requests from his Russian mates he finally accepted to some extent that he'll help in correcting and making cm13 more bug less and usable.. but unfortunately now he doesn't have a k3 note to test his work on. So may be some of us can donate and he can get a test device.

Please take a look at this forum..

I need some help with getting back my warranty.

Recently I found some unresponsive areas on my phone's screen and the speakers are blown. Luckily its still in warranty period. But I had rooted the phone and installed a custom rom. So I flashed vibe ui 3.5, but its the chinese version (k50-t5). How can I get my warranty back?
[K3 Note General] Aditya781:
I cannot download another rom. So I have an idea. I will root this rom , edit build.prop to change model name and unroot it. How carefully will they look for warranty void?

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

even if they dont find any ota update while they are servicing, it can be because the rom is up to date, right?
[K3 Note General] Meteordust:
Vibeui 3.5 is a Developer rom so not a stock rom.

The first they do is going into recovery so when your recovery is not stock you busted......and actually how you blown up the speakers....Dont know where you got your phone from but warranty on chinese imported phone will be a long proces if you even manage it.

Also, is there a torrent website or any specific app to download rom? because browser gives very low speed over wifi (something around 50 kbps)
[K3 Note General] Meteordust:
Don't understand much of your questions when I read all your older posts, you know your way where to find rom's, obviously you have a K50-40 Indian phone and you found out that K50-t5 and K50-40 is actually the same phone.

With SP flashtool you can flash a Stock Row 327, 422 0r 427 you can find on the website you already know because you mentioned it yourself already in earlier post.

Don't do a format with SP flashtool you will loose important nvram (Imei, Bt/wifi address, serial etc.) and off course you need desktop computer.

Tutorials to do this you can find in this thread and all over the place.

[K3 Note General] olgutza34:
It happened to me first time when removed some apps, so leave them untouched, but it crashed also when tried to apply a layer. Very sensitive ROM, and way too many apps integrated onto the system.

[K3 Note General] surfistche:
Hi peeps, I haven't had much time to check lately (still on 1604). I want to get to the latest DEV and test it out, but from what I see the last Full Dev ROM is 1621 and the last OTA Dev is 1628. DOes that mean i have to flash 1621, and then the five updates between it and 1628 separately, or will it automatically give me an OTA update for 1627?

Also is there anything special you should do if you switch from lollipop to marshmallow or a clean TWRP install will do the trick?

Oh and do I need the stock recovery for DEV OTA updates, or can I install them with TWRP as recovery, as well?

Thanks in advance!
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
You can use my 1628 DEV TWRP backup, it's full untouched stock and rooted. Do a full backup, a full wipe, restore my backup and reboot into system. Since you're coming from LP, backup all of your user apps with TB before and restore them after.

Yes if you didn't had my backup you would have to flash one by one starting from 1621 and yes you would need the stock recovery for that.

If you have problems with gapps ask here later.
[K3 Note General] surfistche:
Thanks a lot, that did the trick! On a side note, I tried to flash some of the other roms (both ST and DEV), but every time I got an "Error 7" msg and the flash failed (I did both a simple wipe and advance wipe, deleting everything). This is part of the log with the error msg.

This is from trying to flash 1621 DEV (From the Full ROM Dev list) and I had similar with the ST ROMs. Any idea where the problem lies, cuz as it stands it won't allow me flash a ROM with TWRP (both you version and pervious ones),
[K3 Note General] olgutza34:
Now I am on 1621 stable cuoco92 ROM, it is the 2nd ROM of this guy I am using as a trusty daily driver, it never failed on me. I had also 1604 from him and also proved worthy to replace indian ROW or chinese ones.

On a side note, chinese ST or DEV's feels more snappy and responsive, very good ram management and improved battery life. But you find too often partially translated apps or not translated at all. Beside, you have to use an external weather widget, the integrated one needs some mods to work.
[K3 Note General] wetry8:
ya,it is somewhat very powerful rom,though without led notification.After using it for one day,i just found it very sensitive,gravity box could not enable navigation bar,i could customize it like apply new layer or remove pre-installed apps,etc.And it has a bad battery life.I m not going to use it .Would you have any recommendation?

[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
You have to edit the updater script inside the zip in order to be able to flash through twrp. Look in the 2nd post.
[K3 Note General] surfistche:
That's what I thought as well, but since the script didn't have any lines "show_progress" I didn't delete anything. Altho I suppose I should have deleted it untill "ui_print("Patching system image unconditionally...")" instead. That's my bad, will try out a few :)

No problem here on 1628 DEV, i have the 2 options 7 and 11 digits and i can disable location of the caller.

thanks for the quick reply. yes, for the message, i can see the setting, but for the dialer, i cannot see any setting options? if i press a called number, it will only show 'save the number', ; create new contact, etc, but not the setting option.

And I was thinking into going to blend since its one of the two with Android 6.0 and clean AOSP. I hadn't read that its bloated with apps.

Why aren't people just installing the basics that means play store and all dependent services, default browser, time/alarm message and dialer.

All things requires for the device to operate as a phone (just in case) and the rest someone that installed a rom should be able to handle it.
