It will be very easy for me to get back into number,

Please sir....
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
If you are on stock rom use Maui Meta 3g. It is better. Search for tutorials online on how to use the tool.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Ok. Will try. :)
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] hanalinqu:
After using "format+download" in SP tools my sim 2 doesn't work, I'm getting "no connection or invalid mmi". Sim 1 is working but I only use it for 4G Internet.

I read that it could be an IMEI problem, I followed post to enter the correct IMEI but it didn't change anything.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Now I'm in RROS Rom sir...

Please send me the nvdata backup sir...

Rom was extremely awesome....

But I couldn't make calls because of nvdata problem...

Please send me sir, I'm waiting for ur reply...

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Because I couldn't make the process clear even watching many tutorials...

So, please send me your backup file sir, please

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

I'm waiting for that file sir...
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] mohancm:
I just tested with my friend nvram backup, it isn't working.

Better you need to try with Maui meta 3g
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
Use this tutorial for Maui Meta

https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-12328.html

Go back to stock marshmallow and follow the steps which I gave before to get back imei in custom RR

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

Did you enter IMEI for both the sims? There are two options in Maui Meta one for SIM1 and other for SIM2
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thank you so much sir...
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Doubt [MENTION=7471004]mohancm[/MENTION] sir,

Can I flash lollipop Stock From and Try this Maui Meta 3G process?
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
Yes. Provided the stock rom file has modemdb included. (It will be there for sure, so no worries)
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] hanalinqu:
Maui Meta 3G can only be used on the stock rom can I keep the custom rom installed and try it?
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
No. Maui Meta doesn't work in custom roms.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] hanalinqu:
So what is the difference between this thread and the normal RR installation thread? It says to do the same things except flashing NVRam for those who lost IEMI, right?eta: Because this is what I did today:

1. I flashed stock rom S232 with SP Flash tools using "format+download" to try and fix IMEI.

2. after booting I unlocked oem and flashed recovery 1.

3. flashed LineageOS 14.01 and GAPPS.

4. flashed recover 2.

5. booted and internal storage is missing.

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Is there any harm in using the phone without internal storage? In settings under storage I can still see that I have my 32GB of total storage and I can install apps directly to system. Is it okay to use it this way and give my file explorer root permissions?
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] hanalinqu:
Did it work flashing from internal storage instead of SD card?
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] hanalinqu:
Sorry for multiple posts, but I finally got it to work after 3 or 4 tries...

The only thing I did different the last time is that after unlocking the bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock" I rebooted the phone normally and let it initialize, then went into fastboot again and flashed the first recovery. Before that I was unlocking the bootloader and flashing the recovery right after without rebooting.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
No. Tried it both the ways.

---------- Post added at 03:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 AM ----------

Seriously? I guess this has been mentioned at many places. After unlocking bootloader it is mandatory to reboot. Anyway, that's what i did everytime. Yet doesn't work
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] hanalinqu:
Actually, before I flashed Marshmallow roms without rebooting after unlocking the bootloader with no problems, only doing it with Nougat roms I lost the internal storage.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] namthat:
i'm not lucky

I tryed very more times, but i also lost internal. It shows full 32gb, but not using (ex: connecting to computer, only sd card)
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] msamiltekin:
I have that same problem...
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] hanalinqu:
I lost internal storage again after factory reset while trying something else. I did the same thing I did before and I got it back. I know a lot of people already know these steps but I'll put them here anyway...

Here is exactly what I did both times for reference or anyone that wants to try it:

1. "Format+Download" stock rom using SP Flash Tools. (I used S232 rom on 2GB RAM model.)

2. Boot into phone, enable developer options, enable oem unlocking and USB debugging.

3. Connect phone to PC and use console to reboot into fastboot mode ("adb reboot-bootloader").

4. Unlock bootloader using fastboot ("fastboot oem unlock").

5. Erase cache with fastboot ("fastboot erase cache"). I used this command, although I'm not sure if it's needed or not.

6. Boot into phone normally. For me here the phone got stuck on logo both times, so I booted into recovery (the stock recovery), and clicked on "erase user data" (NOT the "clear" option, the other one) or something like that I don't remember.

7. Boot into phone normally, enable developer options and USB debugging. Place GAPPS on internal storage and the custom ROM and second recovery on SD Card. Reboot into fastboot mode again.

8. Flash the first TWRP recovery from the start of the thread.

9. Erase cache like in step 5.

10. Boot into TWRP recovery.

11. What I did is that I had the custom ROM, the second recovery img file, and the SuperSU zip on the SD Card. The GAPPS zip on internal storage (in folder called "Download").

12. Flash NVRAM backup if you lost IEMI.

13. Go into advanced wipe and select everything except SD Card and Internal storage.

14. Flash custom rom, wipe cache. Flash GAPPS from internal storage, wipe cache. Flash SuperSU, wipe cache. Flash second recovery file.

15. Reboot into system and you should have internal storage with IMEI working.

Tried this twice after losing internal storage and it worked. I tried multiple other ways to do it (like having everything on SD Card) and I lost internal storage.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Nik2404:
when you flashed the stock rom ....you got back the internal storage right ?
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] msamiltekin:
It did not work for me. But i have not sd card. I used OTG instead SdCard. Is this a problem?
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] mohancm:
Anyone up?

Got some time and compiled new recovery.

Need tester , who lost internal storage.?

Mention me or quote me, I will provide new recovery and test it according to procedure, I recommend.

Thank you
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:

here is the recovery2:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298981920

Flash stock rom with the sp flash tools(You can with the existing rom/if doesnt work, you need to flash stock rom with sp flash tool)

unlock bootloader and flash recovery1

wipe everything except sd card

Flash rom, Gapps

At last, Flash Recovery2 from the above link and

Reboot to System

Hope this Solves the Internal storage Missing problems.

Thank you!!:good:
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
Thank you! Will try and report by evening! :)
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Nik2404:
going back to stock rom is it compulsory or can we try it on the existing rom( I am on 5.8.3 ) ?
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] mohancm:
Yes try it once,

If no success then, flash stock rom via SP flash and continue
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] msamiltekin:
I tried but I did not work. My storage it seems 29.12 gb. System partition is working fine but User storage not show.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Nik2404:
Can anyone tell me the process of using the sp flash tools and also the steps required to be followed to get back to stock rom without loosing my imei number...another doubt I took a back up of my stock rom when I unlocked my bootloader using the adb so would that contain the nvram and nvdata partitions required to restore the imei number

Thanks in advance :D
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
In sp flash tools, select choose scatter file and navigate to your stock ROM folder and choose the scatter file. It will load for a while. Make sure Download Only option is selected. Now without connecting the phone select download. Now connect the phone and after the sound it will start to flash. Leave it till it completes then you'll see "Done" on the screen. Now disconnect and power on the phone. It will boot to stock ROM. :)
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Nik2404:
thank you sir for the information could tell about the IMEI number loss as mentioned by the developer ?

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

Thank you sir for the steps could you please tell about the IMEI number loss mentioned by the developer and how to go about that too with respect to the earlier question I posted ?
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] ginathaifa:
If you use the Download only option in SP tools you won't lose your IMEI number. Although this guide says to format+download which will probably delete your IMEI number. You can backup your NVRAM partition from twrp.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
About the IMEI issue, I PM'd you. Taking a backup of these partitions is "highly" mandatory so as to not loose your IMEI. Although, you have some workaround to get back the IMEI using Maui Meta 3G.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] rdadalte:
I'll try the new recovery later today, it can be used with both Lineage OS and Ressurection Remix ROMs right?

I'm having trouble to restore backups with TWRP. Using restore option, I'm not able to find backups from older installations of TWRP, even if I throw the files in the TWRP backup folder.

I want to backup my phone with all the settings I'm using right now. My Google and Nova Launcher backups just restore my apps and launcher settings, but not my apps settings and logged accounts, they take time to setup and if it's possible to backup, it's a lot less time consuming to test new recovery and roms.

Thank you!
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Nik2404:
Can anyone provide with download link of stock room for 3gb ram and 16gb rom version and also tutorial for using sp flash tool ?
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
Yeah. When you move from an older recovery to newer one, the backup of the old recovery cannot be read by the new one. I suggest you first flash the new recovery and take a backup from that one.

---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 AM ----------

[MENTION=7471004]mohancm[/MENTION]

UPDATE: Flashed the new recovery you gave directly from v3.3( Didn't go back to stock rom). Now internal storage detects and works well! :cheers: :) :D

Thanks a lot for the new recovery. :) Will test other features and update! ;)

EDIT 2: Found something strange. I guess ZA Kernel is not properly installed in this version. ( Or there might be my mistake). Because, in settings Kernel Info shows unavailable. And even I can't enable few things like USB Fast Charge from Kernel Auditor. Should i flash ZA separately?
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] mohancm:
Za not yet released for that build.

Will release soon
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
Oh sorry, didn't know that. Everything else is good. Thank you for the new recovery! :)
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] msamiltekin:

If you are on v3.3 then you can directly flash with new recovery from that rom itself. No need to go to stock.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] rdadalte:
New recovery works GREAT! Now I'm running 5.8.4 with storage and camera fixed. The only thing annoying me is the Cell Broadcast notification that keeps popin' up every 5min that can't be disabled (I try to set it to 0 in notification levels, but it only goes down to 1. Any way to get rid of this? (had the same issue with lateste Lineage OS ROM too).
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] pPhiros:
I did it by your method and it worked perfectly. Thank you. I am now using the latest version of Lineage 14 and have access to all functions and internal storage. Thank you very much.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] rdadalte:
I flashed Lineage OS with this new recovery and it worked fine too. By the way, with my 2GB/32GB, RR gets a bit laggy, Lineage OS is way more fluid for me, so I'll stick with it by now, besides some customization losses from RR.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Nik2404:
I am using version 4.1 of the RR ROM right now and don't wish to go back to stock and repeat the whole process ? Anyone who can suggest a detailed method of how to get back internal storage ?

PS : going back to stock is my last choice would try anything before that
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
While in v4.1, go to recovery wipe everything except sd card, flash rom and gapps, next flash patched recovery and reboot. If that doesn't work, then stock rom is the only option.
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Nik2404:
please share download link for stock ROM ? Along with the recommended version of the stock ROM ?

Can flashing of new recovery be done by twrp or commands?

And how ?

Please help me

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

Can you describe the complete procedure please I am new and I have lost my internal storage too so please help me

Your help would be great for me
[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] PraneethMv:
It's upto you. There are two ways. You can use adb or through twrp. If you are already on custom rom, then first, make sure you are on the recovery1 ( because it's the latest recovery). Then boot to recovery, wipe everything ( data, dalvik, cache, internal storage) but don't wipe sd card. After wiping, flash v4.1 of RR ( i assume you are trying to flash RR, right?). After flashing new rom, flash gapps. Then select to flash image file and flash the patched recovery to recovery partition. Reboot to system. Internal storage issue will be gone. :) If this doesn't work, then you have to flash stock rom and repeat this procedure.

In which recovery you did the backup, use this recovery for restore your backup. Therefore you need to use the first recovery while backing up and restoring.
