Is volte working .???

Using some module or whatever....
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] Darkrai119:
Install quick reboot from playstore (only work in root)

So everything works fine except volte put some screenshots ?
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] manosatvik:
Actually my simslots are not working properly. so I can't verify whether volte is working or not.
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] Darkrai119:
Its not working after flash lollipop os ?

Have you unlock bootloader? Have u got twrp for k5note
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] manosatvik:
For unlocking the bootloader i need to press volume up button which is not working in fastboot mode. Only volume down button is working.

I got one twrp from the net and i need to test whether it is working or not to test it first i need to unlock my bootloader
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] anujmankotia:
It's a security feature in our kernel

The volume up button will not work .

U need a patched lk.bin and preloader.bin to unlock bootloader
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] Darkrai119:
Can you provide download link of that TWRP u mentioned

How is this related with rooting and bootloader unlocking?
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] MeZen81:
if you have both files how to patch them
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] anujmankotia:
Don't know how to modify them

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

If we r able to flash custom boot.img

Then it might be possible to unlock bootloader
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] SRIRAMM:
If we grant root permission by modifying boot.img we could get root access without custom recovery
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] Yogesh1969:
As we have seen earlier, custom boot.img fails to boot as the bootloader ( being locked ) does not allow it to boot and then the problem follows (bootloop,etc. ), it does not allow rooting scripts to run, and so on.
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] ClearOrb:
One could perform an edit to swap the commands around, so the working button performs the needed task.

[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] elwess93:
since all rooting attempts failed our only hope is unlocking the bootloader to flash a new rom even if it is of a low probability. i've been searching everywhere for a solution to bypass oem keys for the past two weeks and came up empty handed, my bootloader doesn't even respond to any kind of commands ( the " remote: uknown command" error).

And to show you all how good the Lenovo customer service is, i posted on Lenovo forums asking for a way to get the oem unlock keys and the moderator answered me with a link to the Lenovo smart assistant pc software that's it. It's like going to the mechanic to ask for advice to fix your car engine and the mechanic just shows you how to open the car door.

Thread of light has been eXposed ?

Yesterday, I tried to root my K5 Note device with MTK Easy Root but it was temporary. Root is lost after RESTART.

Surprise:

• This is about "xposed", but "NOT ROOT"

• I tried this Triad and this was successful :laugh:

I'm not responsible for device damage, bootloops, erased data,.... etc. So backup your data if you need.

• Download this triad:

1) MTK Easy Root: Download

2) Magisk: Visit Magisk Page after searching in Google and download it

3) Xposed for Marshmallow: Download

• Install the 3 apps then:

1) Launch the MTK Easy Root then tap root button

2) Run Magisk AND NEVER UPDATE THE MODULE OR FRAMEWORK

3) Run xposed and install the framework then reboot

• N.B. 1 → First boot will take longer time due to "Optimizing Apps", so don't worry.

• N.B. 2 → If you faced a bootloop, go to recovery and clear data (Recovery = Vol+ , Vol- , Power button all in same time for 7-10 seconds).

And I say again I'm not responsible for any damages, take a backup for your files.

IF YOU DO IT SUCCESSFULLY, FILES WON'T BE ERASED.

And I hope in the near future that our bootloader is unlocked and we can flash custom roms. :confused::angel:

[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] Yogesh1969:
Guys, the post looks genuine. The link for it is : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kJLXUfdyME

Would like someone to confirm it by trying. Of course , he mentions it as a temporary root. But I think you can't flash custom recoveries like TWRP,etc, as a locked bootloader won't allow it.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

Thanks buddy. It looks like a good effort, and if working will surely help. As the bootloader has not yet been unlocked, atleast rooting may help somehow.
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] Fl∆$H:
Yes, Rooting will help in Overclocking and do other stuff such as Xposed Framework and all wo if anyone who wants to play games by oberclocking then they can use this method..

• Flashing Custom Recovery Like TWRP failed and gived me a red state like that pic:

[IMG="Red State"]https://i.ibb.co/syX1r4W/Screenshot-2019-09-14-03-30-28-200.jpg[/IMG]

--I Tried many versions of ports to a7020 and also mediatek helio p10--

• Also I Tried to port a Nougat Rom and pack it into a "system.img" then I used the SP Flashtool.

Flashing was successful but I faced a bootloop, so I returned to Marshmallow and deleted the System.img that I created. I don't know if the problem of bootloop is from my wrong port or from the locked bootloader

Fu** Lenovo
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] Yogesh1969:
As I mentioned, the locked bootloader is blocking the boot process, as it discovers the recovery partition is customised. So no TWRP until unlocking.

Same way all the ports will fail for the same reason. Even root dissappears because of that.

Developers can unlock the bootloader. Hope someone helps atleast now after 3 years of waiting.

Can the system update from lollipop to marshmallow unroot the mobile?
[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] countdoku:
You ask motorola for a key

Fr

You can mail the oem unlock data to motorola and they will send you the key to unlock the bootloader.

HardReset.info website:

5. Type in mfastboot oem get_unlock_data and press enter. To get data from a phone that are needed to generate bootloader unlock password.

Example: On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be

$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data

(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230

(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00

(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95

(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000

(bootloader) 0000000

On a Mac OS Desktop, the returned string format would be

INFO0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230

INFO30373731363031303332323239#BD00

INFO8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95

INFO1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000

INFO0000000

6. Copy together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string without (bootloader) or ‘INFO’ or white spaces. Your string needs to look like this:

0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000

7. To get bootloader unlock password you must have an account on Motorola page, just create it, is for free.

8. Past this string to Motorola page for unlock bootloader in correct field and press button Can my device be unlocked.

**Trouble is I do not get anything when I try get oem unlock from fastboot mode.

Trying out SP Flash Tool. Root may be in sight!

Guys, I'm trying out the SP Flash Tool for the recoveries given by [MENTION=7499369]Romeotamizh[/MENTION] in this thread and [MENTION=4951021]Gibz97[/MENTION] in the Mediatek 64 bit rooting and custom recovery thread.

I'm having trouble with the Flash Tool as you'll see in that thread. Read through pages 19 and 20 to catch up on the situation. You can also check out the links that I've posted at the end of this message to read the messages we have exchanged. We'll be moving the discussion here since it is basically about rooting the K5 Note. It will also help you guys to check out the progress of the flashing/rooting.

Post #174 | Post #176 | Post #187 | Post #188 | Post #189 | Post #191 | Post #192 | Post #193 | Post #194

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

The phone pops up under ports as 'MediaTek PreLoader VCOM USB Port (COMx)' where x is a number between 3 and 5 depending on the port I connect it to. No yellow exclamation triangle and going to the Properties window shows that 'The device is working properly.'

I have tried other scatter files. Two, to be exact and they are from different versions of the Stock ROM and they both have the same size, down to the bytes. I hope that there must be some way to flash it.

Does this mean that you won't be able to downgrade back to Lollipop either? If that is the case, then somebody has done it in this thread itself. So, it might be something else.

Hoping we can find out a solution to this nightmare. I am yet to try out the recovery given by Romeotamizh. I'll update this when I do. Thanks!
