Lenovo K8 Plus: Device hangs when locked

My lenovo k8 plus , which I bought 2 days ago, hangs when I try to unlock it. It's not an hardware issue as lockscreen hangs when fingerprint or lock button is pressed. After opening, in 10-15secs, it returns to normal state and runs flawlessly until screen is locked. This is not an app-related issue as I have tried this in safe mode also.

Kindly help me out developers.

Also, dont' try to compile the kernel just now. First, just use the stock kernel with RR rom... later when everything is smooth, try compiling your own kernel.
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] saaivignesh20:
No I haven't tried to compile my own kernel. It is necessary to have the stock kernel sources to compile Resurrection Remix ROM from Github. Do you guys know atleast how to bypass kernel compilation?

Anyone please try to compile the kernel from the given sources and DM me if you get any errors in compiling it. If you don't get any errors please guide me!!!
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] RITZYtheDEVIL:
That's what I'm saying,,, if you put the kernel source in RR source, it will also compile the kernel when compiling the rom,,,, so dont put kernel sources, just put the original kernel from stock rom (I think it goes in prebuilt folder).

BY THIS POST I DON'T SHOW ANY DISRESPECT TO OP OR TO ANYONE ELSE.

I think following link should be the kernel link of K8 plus XT1902-2.

https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-mtk/tree/nougat-7.1.1-release-marino

why i think so ?

because when i check my device details , i found it as marino. what i get after following the link you provided is this.

what bugs my mind is " nougat-7.1.1-release-nicklaus "

I compare nougat-7.1.1-release-nicklaus with nougat-7.1.1-release-marino on github & found it different & i don't know which device is nicklaus , i belive it's Moto E4 Plus XT17.

I am confused with these , please tell me which source to clone ? btw if i am right please update the link in OP.

RR OS Fix

I certaily don't know where it went wrong! I tried to fix but couldn't due to lack of knowledge about how android actually boots up in technical level (kernel level). But I am sure that something is wrong with the kernel or the ramdisk files. But I found one clue and tried but it didn't fix.

Warning: Some technical ****:

Actually the init files are initially mounting and looking for vendor files in the /vendor partition where most of the files doesn't even exist. So I replaced most of the statements with /system/vendor (actually where the vendor files exist). ut it dn;t work as expected.

So guys please check the boot image if possible and tell me if it works. Or try to compile with Google Cloud on your own with the prebuilt kernel. I will give you the make files and the prebuilt kernel.

Looking forward for replies.
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] Anas Rahman:
I noticed that too while porting a ROM. Most of the files that needed to be replaced from the /system partition were present under the /vendor partition.

The framework is messed up and we are not even sure about the kernel sources
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] byomdwi:
Give me the make files
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] saaivignesh20:
Links:

Modified makefiles: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NvddRFqAb1xrdRL1Ouaaw6T2zAz9m-57

^^^ Just replace these mk files in the device/lenovo/manning directory ^^^

Pre-built factory kernel: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dV5KncBw07qnUxrtjKyD9ghpp0ov1sA0

^^^ Keep them under device/lenovo/manning-kernel and copy once in the out/target/product/manning (will be created when you run brunch manning ^^^

Just take care of other errors you encounter. Possibly libstagefright/colorconversion.

And [MENTION=8800038]anasr[/MENTION]ahman: Yeah the framework files and other data are just piece of ****. I don't know what to do now. Waiting for the error to get fixed soon. But got some serious exam preparations.

bricked k8 plus HELP!!!

hi

so i have a Lenovo K8 plus 3 GB ram variant. Let me explain what happened first.

I unlocked my device's bootloader to flash the patched boot image for magisk root, then this orange state sign started showing up eerytime i booted up. then when the latest update rolled out in march, i decided to relock the bootloader and then update my device. did it and then a red state sign showing up accompanied by bootloop (it said something like rollback kernel too). so I formatted the whole thing via sp flash tool and downloaded the stock rom.

now when i try to flash it, preloader flashes FINE, recovery flashes FINE, but when it comes to md1img it shows this error: STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER (0xC0010007). I tried flashing all the files individually to find the cause of the problem and see exactly which particular flash file was causing the problem. results are as follows.

[STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER (0xC0010007) ]- this error was displayed while flashing these files - md1img, md1dsp, md1arm7, md3img.

[ STATUS_SEC_IMG_TOO_LARGE (0xC0020005)] - only popped up while flashing the oem image.

when I exclude these files from the queue, the rest files flash fine.

In short, I have a bricked phone which i am unable to flash via sp flash tool.

PLEASE HELP!!!

[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] JDsingh007:
Well thank you for that link, definitely good but the foolish thing I did was to format all via SPFT. So I don't think that'll work. Any take on that?
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] chankruze:
Did you tried with SPFT ?

Try again with choosing firmware upgrade if download only fails(never choose format all onwards).

let me know if it works ?

why i am saying so because on choosing firmware upgrade it skips checking previous bootloader & allows critical flashing.

if it helped hit that thanks button !
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] JDsingh007:
Sure thing, I'll check it after 12 hours since I got my exam tomorrow, thanks for the assistance :D
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] JDsingh007:
Okay so, I tried everything: firmware upgrade, download only, different versions of SPFT. I recieved the following errors.

Firmware Upgrade: same old insufficient buffer error

Different versions: The older versions were very picky about scatter files so it only worked in the latest version.

What I am thinking that the problem might be is the fact that I'm using the 3GB ram version and the rom is for the 4GB variant (just an assumption). What should I do now?
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] chankruze:
Post some screenshots.

And i think your assumpation is correct try to find firmware for 3GB variant...wait,didn't you visit the link i shared ?

This is me & i have flashed that firmware more than 3 times & tested ok.Flash script is also rewritten & provide with it.

Download it & type same command until the bootloader brick & allows your firmware to flash.

Please leave SPFT & give my method more than a try.:o

Again link is HERE , do read what happened with me.

Keep faith on me, it will work perheps harder to achieve then me,but you can do it.

Regards,

GEEKOFIA
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] JDsingh007:
I tried your method though, it didn't work, might be because I wiped all using SPFT, Can ya talk on PM?
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] chankruze:
telegram me [MENTION=8377831]GEEKOFIA[/MENTION]., you can PM.

by the way i was porting googlecamera due to which my framework & library messed up.

I will be offline in the morning.
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Ofcourse it will not work...for one simple reason - you are using 4GB firmware on 3GB phone. And the main problem is internal storage (32 vs 64).
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] JDsingh007:
But even the 4GB Ram model has 32GB internal memory
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] RITZYtheDEVIL:
No, it has 64, I can confirm.
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] chankruze:
It really don't depends upon"variant" , it depends on the model.

which is same for both 4GB & 3GB (XT-1902-2).

For example, lenovo k8 & k8 note & k8 plus has different model no(XT-1902-1,2,3) but on other hand galaxy On7 & On7pro have same model no (SM-G600FY) so you can flash on7 firmware on On7pro & i had done that.:)
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Nope, It has no direct relation with model numbers. When you flash via spft, you basically hard write the blocks sector by sector. Now if the rom size is different, then ofcourse the sectors will be different and that will give a problem. You can get around that by editing the scatter file manually. Model numbers are decided by manufacturers and they have no definite effect on rom compatiblity. They can name the two versions same or different as they wish. Your statement about On7/Pro might be correct because that is SD4xx SoC and the standard flashtool might follow a different method to write blocks. Infact the whole partition table could be very different. So that comparison does not really means much.

PS: k8 Note has model no. XT-1902-3, not XT-1902-2. I think you confused the note and plus versions.:)
[Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers] chankruze:
I was expecting that answer.

By the way i didn't wrote the model numbers 'respectively'.:)
