Hi, congratulations on the program!

I have 6.0 with 160,517 india which is magnificent and has Portuguese.

I just want to take the root apps that do not.

I've read that your program has difficulty with 6.0, you are true?

I use your program to root?

Can I go back to the original recovery to make ota?

Thanks
[K3 Note General] robterza:
The program is for 6.0 and ready for 7.0.

What firmware version is 160,517?

You can do all things described in first post.
[K3 Note General] toze1:
K50a40_s327_160517_ROW

Only to root, you lose everything?

In my s3 do not root mean losing everything.

In Lenovo lose everything?

This backup, backs up apps and settings?

Can I restore after you root?

Sorry so many questions, I am new to Lenovo was very accustomed to Samsungs and odin.

Grateful
[K3 Note General] robterza:
First install all drivers on pc: Vcom, lenovo usb drivers ver 18.

Second. If your are stock, make stock backup from the app.

Third. Flash TWRP, Patch boot, Supersu.

Read "Fast guide for beginners" in first post.

You will not lose your apps.

If I press unroot will it go back to stock rom and I have installed miui 7.3.2.0 will it even detect the device
[K3 Note General] robterza:
The app is for Lenovo K3 Note official firmwares. The UnRoot removes only SuperSu on device, and if you have miui 7.3.2.0, your device will go in bootloop.

In your condition, to go back to stock, you will need to flash a official lenovo firmware or TWRP backup, if you have one.

The app should detect your miui, but dont use, Unroot, Flash Stock recovery, Flash boot and Restore buttons on your miui. I have warned you.

Hi robterza,

Is this tool working only with MM? Can I unroot my Lenovo K3Note K50a40_S121_150813_ROW (Lollipop) with your tool following the instructions above? I want to unroot then make OTA update to MM and then root again.
[K3 Note General] robterza:
Hi, i will test this for you, and then tell :good:
[K3 Note General] raghuM:
Hi

I tried using v5.2 to root my device when it had s424 installed but then it told me to make a stock backup first as a precaution, so i did that. Then i thought of updating to s433 and then rooting and i was successful.

Now my question is if i try to restore the stock backup of s424 on top of s433 will there be any chances of bricking the device since the firmware versions are different?

(Btw i am using K50a40:))
[K3 Note General] robterza:
If you made S424 stock backup, you will be fine. To downgrade to S424, just unroot, and then restore S424 backup from the V5.2 routine.
[K3 Note General] robterza:
Do this procedure to update from Lollipop S121 to MM S322. :)

[STEP 1] Download from V5.2 Update: "STOCK_S121_Row_boot.img" and "STOCK_S121_Row_system.zip"extract the "SYSTEM.img" from the zip package and place them in the right folders of V5.2 ("STOCK_S121_Row_recovery.img" should be already in V5.2 folder, if not, download it aswell).

[STEP 2] Unroot.

[STEP 3] Restore: Stock Restore (all togheter by spflastool) option. Select the 3 partitions, S121 boot,recovery,system, and flash them trough the V5.2 routine.

[STEP 4] Download the MM S322 OTA by phone update.

[STEP 5] Let device start, initialize and MM bootup. (about 20 min)

[STEP 6]

.Make Stock backup (MM S322)

.Flash twrp

.Flash K50a40 patched boot

.Root

Done :good:
[K3 Note General] raghuM:
Thanks but two more things,

If i have already rooted my device and then i want to make a stock backup, will it backup the system along with the root?

Also, i tried the flash twrp option in your app but when it reaches the flashing stage it opens up sp flash tool and waits for us to manually flash it. Can you make it to do that automatically?
[K3 Note General] robterza:
The concept of making the stock backup, you need it, to make the OTA update, with a clean system, otherwise the update will fail '. Make a Stock backup with the root , it is useless. I added a help for this, through the UPDATE button, of V5.2, for users that are already rooted, and dont have Stock backup (3 clean partitions: boot.img, recovery.img, system.img) you can download the 3 clean partition to return to stock, and do the OTA update

For TWRP and Flashtool, everything is already configured, you must only check the first time if the "scatter file" points to the . "\Lenovo_K3_Rom_Downloader\FlashTool" folder and hit "DOWNLOAD". This is the most easy way for users, other workarounds are more confusing and users could get lost.
[K3 Note General] ivoton:
Thanks for the detailed answer man :) It is just exactly what I need because I could say that I am newbie with Android flashing and so on. It is amazing how devoted you are to your tool. Respect for that :good:

I downloaded all needed files as you mention above in Step 1 and put them in the corresponded folders. I will take a look few times on your tutorials and then will continue with unrooting and flashing. Next weekend maybe because I will have more time.

In the mean time I have some additional questions :)

I have the latest Lenovo USB drivers from your first post installed and the phone is properly detected by the tool. Do I need to install the VCOM drivers? I saw that they are for Windows 10 and I am on Windows7 x64 Ultimate.

Second question is about upgrading to MM. I have read on the forums that it is always better to make upgrade by sideload (clean install) than OTA. When I was downloading "STOCK_S121_Row_system.zip" I saw that there is also "STOCK_S322_Row_system.zip". Can I directly make clean install to that ROM with the tool?

Sorry if my questions sounds silly but as I said I am newbie.
[K3 Note General] robterza:
I have good news for you :) You can jump to MM from S121 in this way: Download the S322 partitions, "boot.img, recovery.img, system.img" then from the V5.2 "STOCK RESTORE" button, select "flash all togheter by spflashtool". When Flashtool has finished, close it, skip all the V5.2 popups and messages. Disconnect USB cable and power on your device, and wait MM initialize. DONE ;)

The Lenovo USB driver has all the drivers you need. Just do this operation before using V5.2: connect usb cable to device and power off device, disconnect usb cable wait 10 seconds, and reconnect usb cable. Do this operation in recovery as well and when device has full booted up. You can check what happens on pc with "DEVICE MANAGER" open. :good:
[K3 Note General] ivoton:
Super :) But I have another stupid question... Should I do unroot procedure first and then flash S322 or I could go directly to flashing of S322?
[K3 Note General] robterza:
Yes sure! Follow this video guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtqctKv0yWw. When asks for the 3 stock partions, to restore, select S322 ones.

[K3 Note General] robterza:
If you're inexperienced, you should look at some guides on how to install a custom recovery with spflashhtool before. :rolleyes: It is not hard if you already did, but it's hard to do if you have not ever done, :confused: and you can 'risk to lock your phone, then it becomes a problem. :( To use this program, you have to have a minimum knowledge to flash roms, boot.img and system.img by hand. The program does everything automatically, but if something goes wrong, you can recover the situation, by hand mode. :D

These are the steps for rooting K50a40 stock rom by LENOVO ROM DOWNLOADER V5.2 app

[1] Detect device

[2] Stock backup

[3] Flash twrp

[4] Flash K50a40 patched boot

[5] Root

Are you ready? ;)
[K3 Note General] raghuM:
My phone is not booting right now, neither to the recovery nor to system after i flashed something. Now i want to know whether my files stored on the internal storage will be deleted or not after i perform stock restore through your app as this is the first time i will be doing it. It does say my apps will not get deleted after i do this but i wanted to confirm for my files too.

Thanks
[K3 Note General] robterza:
Hi, First: your device is rooted or stock? (For stock i mean, "recovery stock, boot.img stock, no SuperSu installed") :confused:.
[K3 Note General] raghuM:
Well now I have fixed my phone;)

But FYI, it was rooted with SuperSU interface and the recovery and boot IMG were both custom. I was a bit confused as to what to do since the device was refusing to even enter the boot animation, but later I realised that my phone ran low on battery when it was in that state and that's why I couldn't boot to the recovery. Now its in perfectly working condition as before:D

Can I use this to Unroot my lenovo k3 note which has AIM ROM???
[K3 Note General] robterza:
Hi, if you are rooted with Magisk, just uninstall Magisk.

If you are rooted with Supersu, you will need "boot.img" and "system.img" of AIM ROM to flash/restore back, after unrooted.

What app are you using?

"Lenovo Rom Downloader V5.2" or "Lenovo K3 Workshop V2.0"?
[K3 Note General] Truely Simple:
Unable to root

Sir, I own Lenovo K3 Note K50a40, I initially had stock phone, nothing changed. I downloaded your application and firstly backed up stocks, all 3. Then, I in root/unroot tab I tapped on 'one tap root' and followed the instructions. But, app was saying phone is rooted but twrp said flashing do not touch screen. For long nothing changed, then without thinking I restored stock full.

Now through recovery tab I flashed twrp and rooted with Magisk from there again I got root successful message, but my device was not rooted, both the Workshop and an application told that device is unrooted (this I was able to reboot). I again rooted the device with Magisk, this time from root/unroot tab. Again same condition. Then I rooted my device with SuperSu, again the same condition, what should I do?
[K3 Note General] robterza:
Sorry for late replay, im not daily following the thread.

Did you install the Lenovo drivers? There is a button in "Workshop V2.0" app, that helps to install drivers by a routine.

How to Lenovo K3 note root
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Fr33L4nc3r:
Hi guys,

Ok, so I'm coming from an old Nexus 4 on which I was used to do everything with one hand (right).

I was used to Pie Control, and completely remove my software navigation bar (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in build.prop)

Now, I'd like to do quite the same thing with my OP3, but I'm struggling a bit.

As you know, with OOS, we can use either:

Capacitive Buttons

On-screen navigation bar

When I use Pie Controls (either LMT or GravityBox) and set the navigation to capacitive buttons, it's mostly OK, but there's always the unintentional touch, especially when holding the device in landscape mode.

When I set the navigation to on-screen buttons (but don't use them), "Back" and "Home" simple tap on Pie Control doesn't work at all (Longpress's and Recent simple tap work fine, though).

I tried fiddling with build.prop but didn't manage to disable both altogether.

# enable navigation bar
#ifdef VENDOR_EDIT
#liuhuisheng@framework disable navigation bar
#qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
#else
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
#endif

Anyone knows how to disable both capacitive buttons AND standard software navigation bar ?

If it's possible to stay on OOS for the moment, that would be great :)

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] hasenbein1966:
Yes, something is strange in OOS in that respect.

I use GMD Gesture Control (like I do always on every device), but if I use the on-screen navbar instead of the capacitve buttons, "back" gesture doesn't work anymore. Home gesture works.

Perhaps someone could shed some light onto what the causes could be...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroGlitch:
Yes

It is however I recommend KingRoot as it is better and safer (kingroot.net)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckrobinson47:
kingoroot worked to root my old lg volt but....

...but I have a moto g3 that I rooted with twrp, and I now recognize the danger of the rooting apps. See after routing my moto g3 I installed all kinds of stupid apps that I really didn't understand. I screwed up the phone about five times now. The reason I could do that though, is because twrp has my back. Every time I have the phone running great, I create a backup in twrp. So when I get things too screwy I just go back to one of my backups.

What I'm saying is KINGOROOT is NOT AS DANGEROUS AS YOU CAN BE TO YOUR PHONE WITH ROOT PERMISSIONS AND NO RECOVERY. Every app in the playstore that requires root can screw up your phone. Believe me ive screwed the pooch enough to know.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Kevinwith4y:
Hi guys I need your help.

I just got my Redmi Note 3 Pro 32GB. It was on official China ROM from what I know. I tried to unlock the bootloader without permission using this guide http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html but when I flashed the ROM using MiFlash I got an error. I later restarted the phone and then all of a sudden my WLAN, Bluetooth and SIM would not work at all. So I tried again and now I get this error saying (Reached end of file... Receiving Hello Packets).

I can't flash a ROM from MiSuite through recovery as it always says it fails.

I'm at a loss here stressing out for days trying to get this to work and install CM13 on it. Was really excited but now this phone kind of pisses me off everytime I look at it. If I could fix the problems and flash CM13, this would be a great phone. Guess after this I'll probably not purchase another Xiaomi, nightmare to unlock and stuff.

All your help is appreciated. Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] omegaorgun:
Try use Miflash too to wipe it with latest beta or stable rom.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Archit9169:
Unlock your bootloader, then open your phone in fastboot mode. miflash works in fastboot mode too. Flash your phone. If the wifi problem is still present, then flash a radio package. PM me i will send the link if the problem is still present.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Kevinwith4y:
Okay I'll try to unlock officially cause I can't for any reason do it unofficially cause of that Hello Packet error. Waiting for the code
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] omegaorgun:
Flashed new global Beta and unlocked just fine.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Kevinwith4y:
Well applied for official unlock and when trying to unlock it couldn't verify the device cause I have to MiAccount on my redmi note 3. I can't log in to one on my device because I want get any network on it. So I guess I'm screwed here huh.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Archit9169:
Download the latest miflash. Try to flash a fastboot rom via edl mode. Ise 64 bit os. Make sure driver signature is disabled. Once you have properly flashed the rom, open miunlocl and then proceed normally.

When i revert back to miui from cm13, i encountered network and wifi problem. I unlocked bootloader via unlocktool and it unlocked like a charm.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Kevinwith4y:
Just tried that again. Whenever I use miflash I get error receiving hello packet. On miflash beta I get cannot read COM port.

I've disabled the driver signatures.

Qualcomm drivers and phone drivers are all installed correctly. Just nothing is working
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Archit9169:
Try using windows 7. It has higher success rate. Also try to download some other version of fastboot rom. Maybe the rom has problems. As for your network and wifi related problem, it can be fixed by flashing a different nonhlos.bin file
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Kevinwith4y:
How do I flash that file? Do I need to be unlocked first?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Archit9169:
Unfortunately, yes you have to unlock first. Keep trying the edl mode. I am sure its either software problem or windows problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Kevinwith4y:
Alright. Currently trying will tell you how it goes.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Kevinwith4y:
Not going well man. Still same problems no matter the ROM. If I try the same method on fastboot they tell me the bootloader is locked. I don't have access to another PC so I can't really try out. Looks like I'm all out of options and this phone is pretty much a brick. Maybe I'll buy another one and try again but... goddamn
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Archit9169:
As long as you phone does not have any hardware fault and can boot in either edl mode or fastnoot mode, then it can be repaired. Keep patience. Better yet take it to xiaomi service centre, they'll do it for you. But as far as i know, edl mode can help you properly flash. Keep patiece buddy
