Lenovo k8 note, system dump....

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwB3-3laBtCMNW9CZUdXRkRwNTQ/view?usp=drivesdk
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] guitardedhero:
Awesome job guys coming through today! :highfive:

The only remaining file not included in both dumps is /bin/audioserver which is in either /system or /vendor.

If that file can be found, renamed to "audioserver.zip", and attached to a reply, ahrion and I will be even more grateful than we already are. :good:
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] lohan8055:
I found it,

It is in /system/bin ,but the problem is ,it is not copying or moving or renaming.

I m using fx explorer.
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] guitardedhero:
Thank you very much for trying and I apologise for not getting back to you sooner.

Try the following in Android terminal:

killall audioserver
cp -f /system/bin/audioserver /sdcard/audioserver.zip
reboot

Once booted, everything should be up and running and /sdcard/audioserver.zip should be available to attach to a reply. :good:

Edit*

Your sdcard path may be different than /sdcard.
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] lohan8055:
Error again
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] guitardedhero:
It's the smallest things that drive one insane, am I right lol?

You might try zipping up the file to somewhere in /sdcard.

Dear guitardedhero,

Thanks for helping us.

But FYI, we wont rooted our device. Only unlocked it.
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] guitardedhero:
Right, I realize that, otherwise it would be easily obtained. I won't trouble you anymore. I do appreciate your trying. :good:

wants to root my devices

I want to root my device. because lenovo won't take away the warrenty of the device if you root the device, they will only take it way if you lose the imei code of your device. so i say i want to root my device, but i couldnt do it.:confused::crying:
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] pranav351985:
oh is it so??? i dont know details..
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] gokulraj3:
Lenovo Warrentz Truth

I had this lenovo k3 note, i used it for about 5 months. when suddenly due to water, my display started to get stuck. with a blue hue. In that time, my device was root. i took it to the lenovo service center, and they checked the imei number in the phone and they accepted my phone. They didnt check it was root or not. :p:D:D:D:D:D
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] guitardedhero:
No worries, your English is more than adequate and I certainly did not mean anything other than genuine appreciation for your attempts at providing the missing components for a complete system dump of the device.

Root is not necessary if there is a build of TWRP recovery available for the K8 Note device, so that is the next logical step in my opinion. :good:
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohanoctane:
Yes that's exactly where we have to start , I have successfully unlocked the boot loader,in the other thread they gave some twrp recovery images I tried and it said successful in of those but I think it was not compatible when I booted back to the recovery it says no command . Now I ended up loosing my stock recovery also. so , can u create a twrp recovery for us?
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] lohan8055:
Now it shows this,but no zip file created
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] guitardedhero:
I have never attempted such a task but I can certainly look into what is entailed. :good:

What you see is the usage of the copy (cp) command in that particular terminal which appears when inappropriate usage of the command is attempted or when the command's help option is used (cp --help). :good:

So,what i do now?:confused:
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] guitardedhero:
That would certainly require having the device. I apologise if I've misled anyone, my current focus on the K8 Note firmware is porting its new Dolby Atmos audio enhancement system, which currently only lacks /system/bin/audioserver at this moment.
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] pranav351985:
i tried several times about audioserver.. not allowing me in any way to rename, copy, move at all...
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohanoctane:
Don't get me wrong u need that Dolby atmos so , what I suggest is build a twrp for us and we will definitely help u out in building it . Once it's built rooting is child's play and when that is over u can have that audio server file right? The main reason for having twrp so desperately is for installing viper cause what ever that Dolby atmos is doing for audio enhancement is **** for k8 in my opinion as of now . Audio quality is not at all good , I was using k4 note audio on it is way better it was having wolfenson audio driver but this sounds like **** . Sorry if I was rude in any way I did not mean to offend just sharing my thoughts what do u say?;)

Lenovo k8 note stock rom compatibility with lenovo vibe k5 note??

Is lenovo k8 note stock rom compatible with lenovo vibe k5 note..... As i have seen both have an mediatek processor and mali gpu so i thought their rom's may be compatible..... I desperately need an noughat rom for lenovo vibe k5 note and even CyanogenMod lineage os has ditched this product from creating it's rom.... Please kindly help??
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Anas Rahman:
No. It's simply not compatible with your vibe k5 note and as far as i know lenovo k5 vibe has some great roms available out there.

We just need a working twrp recovery so that even though we can't root we can still use magisk.
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Fire_Falcon:
These roms are for lenovo vibe k5 and k5 plus both having Qualcomm processor but not for lenovo vibe k5 note having mediatek processor..... Installing these roms of different phone may hard brick the phone.... Please kindly suggest rom specifically built for lenovo vibe k5 note........

HI, GUYS,

TODAY IN MY LENOVO K8 NOTE THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. So i installed it. Now i Would like to check whether i would be able to root my device without installing custom recovery. beacause i am afraid, that the future updates for the phone will be great. so i would like to install it. otherwise the twrp is good to use.
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] lohan8055:
Whats happen when u update it.

Did the depth effect working fine?

Probably not.

Then what motive of company update ,they give it because of open sale or other saleing purposes.

On the other hand in custom rom ,u do whatever u want,camera,sound,screen, battery.etc.

I'm looking for a MI UI 9 rom and Cynogenmod rom, Oxygen rom, Cool rom, Ressercution remix rom and many other roms, I dont remember the names, I do like all roms. Please ask and contact the developers to develop the roms as soon as possble and also some fix to increase the battery life and many other mods. Let wait and see:D:D:):):):)

no command means your the twrp recovery is not installed yet. so you try reinstall it. because no command is shown in the default recovery. you can go into the default recovery by just pressing volume up + power (when no command shows up) ok
