This app is for official Marshmallow (6.0) Lenovo Roms ROW-DEV-ST. (K50a40-K50T5).

* Can backup the Stock Roms and restore back for OTA updates 100%

* Can Flash your favorite Custom Roms as well.

* Can root and unroot , and add you favorite apps by zip package

* Can backup your apps before flashing a new Rom and restore them after flash.

* Can backup your NVRAM partition.

* Can flash your personal Custom Recovery. (TWRP is the default).

* Can download Lenovo roms by a rom list.

This is my personal app that i use to mod my K3 Note. Made in html (hta) and vbscript.

It is not perfect like a professional one, maybe there are some bugs, but it does the dirty job.

what we do by hand, it does with some clicks.

VIDEO TUTORIAL tips: They are of the previous version REV4.4 But very similar to version 5.0

FAST GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. My AntiVirus program says the app may be harmful.

A. The exe files I compiled are not digitally signed with a Microsoft certificate, so certain AntiVirus programs will pick it up as potentially harmful when it is not. They will pick up ANY file that doesnt contain a purchased Microsoft certificate in the same way. Restore the deleted file and exclude it from further scans and it will be fine.

Q. While I was trying to unroot during flashing stock boot.IMG, I can't find stock boot.img file in the app.

A. Click "Update" button, and you can download your stock boot.img from MegaDrive. Download them in right folders of the app for easy find. Example: "STOCK_S433_boot.img" in the "K50a40StockBoot" folder.

Q. I am on Stock , what is the first step for rooting?

A. First step before rooting is make "Stock Backup"(you need for OTA Update) and then "Flash TWRP", you will be guided by voice assistant and popup messages. [Tip] For more, read the "Fast guide for beginners".

Q. Can't flash patched boot image. My phone boots into TWRP, I selected adb sideload but nothing happens.

A. ADB in Android and ADB in recovery are two different drivers. If you are running Win10 you could be in luck because it's generic driver.

Boot the phone into recovery and then disconnect/reconnect it to the PC. With a lot of luck Windows detects a new device and installs the driver automatically. If not go through the driver update routine in Device Manager.
