[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] kalematus:
Awesome work

I'd like to officialy thank you for this rom! it turned my phone into a usable capable device with more battery mileage than before.

When i started using the rom it was version 5.8.3. and i fiddled with it quite a lot, especially after 5.8.4. came out, so i was wondering if something can be done with the delivery system, to make it idiot proof.

So there are a few issues that i ran ito with this method.

1. installing drivers... that was horrible to begin with... i got searching and after installing a bunch of versions finally one worked but i couldn't tell you which one.

2. imei... that was also driver related... i couldn't get maui meta to connect to my phone untill i found the right drivers.

3. wifi nvram error... that was also nasty, untill i found that archive on xda and replaced files on my phone and setting right permissions for it.

4. procedure to flash the rom, i must have flashed it over and over like 10 times before i got it to work. first flash the one recovery than flash rom than flash open gapps than reboot than install the other recovery.

i'm not a programer but i am guessing that has to do with the exploit.

also the best version to flash was 219 row, not 232.

so i have this idea... what if you could bundle all this software in one package and make a bat script to run all of this and then upload it. because you have to admit the delivery sucks...

the bat could be something like this:

installing drivers for phone

message: turn off your phone, press any key to continue

plug the phone to usb, press to continue...

using sp flash tools to upload stock rom to phone

disconnect phone, turn it on...

imput imei written on back of your battery, press any key to continue

fixing nvram error 0x10

flashing first recovery...

......

you get the idea.

the reason i'm suggesting this is because the procedure is a bit tricky and if you get one thing wrong like i did you could end up flashing a lot of times, and it sucks to be left without a phone or end up not being able to use the generous internal memory (this also hapened to me).

so this is what worked for me after installing the right drivers:

flash stock rom 219 row (marshmallow)

tick version number to get to usb debugging

go back to developer options

tick:

oem unlock

enable usb debugging

accept authorization from pc

FIX IMEI WITH MAUI META (turn phone off, click reconnect on maui meta, than wait for the phone to connect, go in the dropbox to imei, load the "blgu...." file from the stock rom directory, imput the imei, the last digit will imput it's self, than click download to flash)

BOOT TO STOCK

ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER

fastbtoot oem unlock

press up to say yes on the phone

reboot to stock

tick version number to get to usb debugging

oem unlock

enable usb debugging

accept authorization from pc

flash the 3.1.1 recovery with >>>>>

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery something-3.1.1.img
