Can't i even flash any marshmallow rom??

Can't i even flash a marshmallow rom or flSh any firmware???
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
The problem is that based on your hardware and network requirements I can't even suggest one for you. I have no idea what software/firmware will play nice on your Indian carrier. Whoever you purchased the phone from already replaced then Verizon firmware/os with something that would work on your carrier....if I were you I would ask them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] YanEiOnP:
You can use HTC Sync Manager to update your phone to the latest version (android marshmallow). Just install sync manager and connect your phone. It'll show a prompt to upgrade. I'd recommend doing a backup, but I saw that it left the apps and storage untouched.

ok, so I got a T-Mobile Wing. I live in Canada and I use my Rogers sim card on it. I don't have a data plan with my 'my5' plan. I was looking for Rogers GPRS settings on line and I went to this site: http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/376820-1.html

I entered 'Rogers internet.com settings' it says 'requires access to a Data access plan'. As I said, I'm not on a data plan, anyways after entering these settings:

apn: internet.com

username: wapuser1

password: wap

ip: 208.200.067.150

I was able to go on the net. Now, does anyone know If I will be charged for this? If so, is there a way I can goto a Rogers store or online and see how much data I've used and how much it will cost me? Or do I do nothing and wait for my next bill to see if they're gonna start to charge me?

Thanks!
[Networking] Azimuth21:
as far as i know, yes, you are being charged for this.

i base that answer on this knowledge:

personally i have not bought an internet plan, and when i went to browse the internet (i thought i was on wi-fi only), there was a notification that my phone was connecting to GPRS. i of course cancelled that and then went in and deleted the Cingular internet settings that were on my phone to ensure that i wouldn't accidentally connect again, but when my phone bill came i was charged for a minute of internet usage.
[Networking] N1c0_ds:
If you want to make sure they don't charge you, call Rogers to ask them to block any data via GPRS. In about 2 hours of phone calls it should be done and any charge on your bill for data is their fault. A data plan with Rogers is a bad idea so you should cut this service right now.

Did you get this working on your 6P? How does it look? I noticed those themes are for 1980x1080 while our phone resolution is 2560x1440. I just skimmed the OP though, didn't read to the thread. I'll check it out later when I get home.

Edit: I tried it and it works fine. I read in the thread that TWRP scales up images automatically. It looks fine.

Note to encrypted users: When you boot to recovery, the splash will be stock and TWRP will be stock theme until you enter your pin/password/pattern. After that it will automatically load the theme after a few seconds.

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that happens while/after flashing these files. Your device's destiny is your own responsibility. Proceed at your own risk.

After days of waiting, a stock ROM package for Vibe X3 is finally available(or rather leaked).

This thread and all its contents are meant solely for the ROW variant X3a40.

This thread will come handy for restoring both working or bricked devices back to stock state.

There are two ways to flash the stock ROM:

Using QFIL tool on PC: This should be handy for bricked devices and also for working devices. Guide in post #2.

Using Qualcomm Diagnostic mode on device: This should be handy for people willing to downgrade a working device to an older stock firmware. Needs access to internal storage so doesn't make sense to use for a bricked device. Won't work if on custom ROM (modded stock ROMs should work). Guide in post #3.

With Windows PC Flashing Guide

WARNING: Everything apart from data in external SD card will be wiped. Make sure to backup everything.

Download the QFIL flash package ZIP and appropriate ZIP from Drivers+QFIL.

Extract the ZIPs to a folder whose complete path has no spaces (space characters) at all. A number of people have reported issues when this folder is on the same partition as Windows(mostly C: ) so prefer D: or any other partition.

Make sure you uninstall any other phone's PC Suite/drivers as they may cause conflicts. Microsoft Emergency Driver (installed for restoring Lumia devices) is known to conflict, please uninstall it.

Go to Drivers+QFIL folder extracted in Step 2, run the appropriate 'INSTALL_DRIVERS_&_QFIL.bat' and follow the instructions.

Backup contacts, SMS, apps, etc. as well as the entire internal storage as they will all be wiped(you will setup a new phone). Internal storage WILL BE erased when using the QFIL flash method.

Run 'QFIL' program. Let it load, close and run it again. This restart is only needed if you haven't used QFIL on that PC before and failing to do so might cause Sahara related errors.

Select 'Flat Build' as build type.

Click on 'Browse', select the 'prog_emmc_firehose_8992_ddr.mbn / prog_emmc_firehose_8992.mbn' file from the 'X3a40_S130_151122_ROW_QFIL' folder which you extracted.

Click on 'Load XML' and select 'rawprogram0.xml' followed by 'patch0.xml'.

Make sure you completed each step precisely, the USB cable is connected ONLY to USB port (USB 2.0 preferably) of PC and not to device yet, the device is powered off and is charged (at least 40%).

Now boot into EDL by plugging in the USB cable to device and then QUICKLY(within a second of plugging in) pressing and holding power button for ~1 second. QFIL's 'No port available' text should change to 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMXX)'. The display will stay off so, don't worry about it.

Within ~5 seconds put the device on a stable surface (so that it doesn't move around or shake) and press the 'Download' button on QFIL. If you are late, the device starts to power on normally and you need to go back to Step 11 and continue.

Wait for the flash to complete and 'Download Succeeded' message appear at the bottom.

Press and hold the power button for ~10 seconds to boot normally. If display doesn't turn on press and hold the power button again for longer time, it will boot.

Once you see the Lenovo logo, unplug the phone.

Once you have finished the initial set up, open dialer, dial '####682#', choose your region and confirm.

Without PC (QSB) Flashing Guide

WARNING: All the contacts, SMS, apps, etc. will be wiped. Make sure to backup them. Data in internal storage (sdcard0) and external SD card will not be wiped.

Download the QSB package and extract the ZIP.

Place the "sdfuse" folder extracted from the ZIP in internal storage of your device.

Backup contacts, SMS, apps, etc. as they will all be deleted(you will setup a new phone). Internal storage will not be erased when using the QSB flash method. But, to be safe, back up the data in internal storage too.

Boot to Qualcomm Diagnostic mode (not recovery) by pressing and holding Volume down + Power button together until Lenovo logo appears and flickers once(release the buttons after flicker).

Goto 'SD Update' using volume rockers and touch on 'Enter'.

Touch on 'Start'.

Once finished touch 'Restart'.

Once you have finished the initial set up, open dialer, dial '####682#', choose your region and confirm.

That's it.
[Lenovo Vibe X3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] arpit_nnd:
TIPS & INFORMATION

The various modes X3a40 can boot into:

Recovery mode: Press and hold Volume up + Volume down + Power together until Lenovo logo shows up and flickers once. Release the buttons and you will reach the recovery. This opens up the recovery of the device.

Qualcomm Diagnostics mode: Press and hold Volume down + Power button together until Lenovo logo shows up and flickers once to boot into this mode. This opens up the Qualcomm Diagnostics screen which has a number of hardware testing and other tools along with ability to flash the stock ROM. It is also used for further Diagnosis using a PC.

Fastboot mode: Press and hold Volume up + Volume down and plug in the USB cable(already connected to PC). You may also use the ADB command "adb reboot bootloader". Obviously, you need a working device with USB Debugging turned on and ADB installed on PC. This enables the traditional Fastboot interface. NOTE: Device stays on Lenovo logo while in Fastboot mode.

EDL mode: Plug the USB cable and then QUICKLY(within a second of plugging in) press and hold the power button for a little while. Device stays in EDL only for ~5 seconds unless you start firmware flash via QFIL. You can also use ADB command "adb reboot edl". This will put your device in Qualcomm Emergency Download Mode which is meant to flash stock firmware using QFIL tool on working/bricked devices.

Normal mode: This is what you boot by normally pressing the power button. I don't need to say much about this one.

Keep your NV data (IMEI, Serial No., etc.) backed up from QFIL>Tools>QCN Backup Restore. Device must be in Qualcomm Diagnostics mode. There are many more ways to do this.

Will this stock go to Lollipop or marshmallow ??

i really wanted to switch back to lollipop because of the buggy marshmallow.

& if i use this firmware will i be getting official update if any released from lenovo with something bug free ??

i know what stock means it should b lollipop but just concerned as i read alot of forum's & got confused with stock marshmallow term.

please let me know.

- On latest lenovo marshmallow 6.0.1

[Lenovo Vibe X3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] arpit_nnd:
It is mentioned in the OP that all firmware listed in the OP are official stock packages.

That is enough to answer your query regarding updates.

Marshmallow starts S217 onwards. Prior to that all versions are Lollipop.

hi arpit,

i am indian user with x3a40 model....i m in marshmallow version 6.0.1 (x3a40-s217-160623 row)

i wants to flash earliest stock lollipop firmware ...i just wanted to know after flashing it via qsb mode if i want to go again to marshmallow what will i have to do..

will i get it by system update as usual...or i have to flash it manually via qfil mode (which u posted as latest)..

isnthere any way i can flash marshmallow too by qsb method as i find it more safe and easy??..(sory i just want to avoid the hassle and mistakes i can do with qfil method)
[Lenovo Vibe X3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] arpit_nnd:
As I mentioned just a couple of posts above your's, all the firmware on the OP are official packages and therefore will get all the updates normally. You can either apply OTAs to get to S217 or directly do a QFIL flash.

I couldn't get my hands on any QSB package for S217 so there isn't a way to flash from there as of now.
[Lenovo Vibe X3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pratiksonihbk:
Thnx for rply bro...

Soory i didnt make it clear...actually i wanted to know that is it possible that lenovo must have pulled back the updates or may be firmwares have a life span...i know it is a company related matter bt i hope if u know anything about it... Otherwise we have qfil way anyways...

Phone Won't Stop Restarting. What Do I Do Now?

Hi I followed the post #2 instructions to flash the X3a40_S217_160623_ROW QFIL Package (Latest). It seemingly worked but then afterwards when I was following the initial setup, the display kept flipping off and on (the screen kept going black and turning back on) and the phone also restarted a few times. When it stopped and I tried to go on with the initial setup, the phone would not see my WLAN network and I'm sure it was working fine since my other phone and laptop were connected to it fine. So I could not pass the setup so I decided to flash the device again, but this time with the X3a40_S130_151122_ROW QFIL package. Followed the post #2 instructions again. When it turned on, it kept restarting. It went to the initial set up but kept restarting. Eventually, it stopped, the WLAN worked, and I was able to setup the phone. Then after getting the phone up and running the WLAN stopped working again. I left it for a while, still no change. It was stuck saying "Turning WLAN on" and that neevr changed. Pressed the power button and selected restart. Now it keeps restarting... it still hasn't stopped continuously restarting. What am I to do now? This phone is brand new.

I don't feel I can help you with X3c50 but there are a few things which might be causing the issue with QFIL. Try to remove all related drivers and install them again.

After that try QFIL again.
