Does the rom link given here unzips perfectly?

Because i saw in another thread of Lenovo K8note titled firmware, users unable to unzip due to error in system img. Also downloading from baidu needs a user id. If its possible could you or anyone else reading this upload it in some other online storage drive. Im little bit worried about getting a worse situation while rooting. Even if it goes wrong i can use the stock firmware to make it back.
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00215:

Do i have to unlock bootloader again after flashing the firmware in order to root the device?
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] peacelover94:
Yes, I think so. Anyhow there is no need to unlock oem again if you are flashing the rom via TWRP. Anyhow let someone confirm about it.
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00215:
There is a error while extracting zip file of the firmware .just checked, I downloaded it from mega.i want to confirm if its the same for baidu also

how to restore imei in k8 note

hello everyone. imei number of my phone got erased by mistake through sp flash tool.does anyone knows ho to recover it. plz inform me. thank you
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Andi_:
update: procedure flashing TWRP and ROOT

You will have to set a Windows system path to your adb commands direcrory for the initial tutorial above, otherwise you are unable to execute the commands from your download directory!

This procedure worked for me:

________________________

Preparations:

•	Rename the "TWRP_3.1.1.0.img" image file that you downloaded to "recovery.img" and put it into your adb commands directory.

•	Put SuperSu or Magisk on the SD-Card of the phone in normal mode (file transfer) before starting.

then

1. Connect your device to PC and make sure Data connection is enabled (NOT only charging mode!)

2. Open “CMD shell here” by Shift+Right click in your adb commands directory on PC.

3. Reboot to Bootloader by

adb reboot bootloader

4. Now enter following command in fastboot

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

5. DO NOT USE fastboot reboot

Use "vol up + down + power button (ALL 3 Buttons!)" to manually switch off you k8 note,

otherwise twrp will restore to stock if you use fastboot reboot command.

6. After Switch Off Press & hold vol up + power button then

select recovery by vol up &

press vol down key to enter in recovery.

7. Now Wait for 30 Sec/ till phone vibrates,

Then press power button + vol up simultaneously until you see twrp lock screen.

8. Just Cancel if It asks for Enter password to decrypt and Allow modification by swipe.

9. If you see internal storage 0mb Then GoTo Wipe and FORMAT DATA once & reboot to recovery

10. GoTo install browse and select Magisk.zip or SuperSU.zip & flash.(optional if needed install Busybox for Android NDK by osm0sis magisk module for busybox)

11. Reboot Enjoy.

root error, though rooted

Hello all,

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial, I managed to root my phone and have used SuperSU.

Though I've been able to check that it has rooted successfully, there is something wrong.

The reason I wanted to root it was to limit background CPU usage when phone is idle, but to my suprise, when I try to install and use a CPU limiting app, it says "root not found, your phone neds to be rooted".

Has anyone else faced similar error msgs ?

I tried installing Magisk after SuperSU, but it gives error during installation from TWRP.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Anas Rahman:
Make sure that you have restored your stock boot image before installing magisk

Hello Everyone

My friend is using K8 Note and he is total noob.

He just bought LG smart TV with WebOS3.0 and is unable to do screen casting due to pure stock OS of K8 Note.

Is rooting is only way to achieve screen mirroring ? I went through forum and google searches but didn't find any solution.

If rooting is only solution can you guide me which files to backup avoid loss of IMEI. ( Because that is the major concern i noticed in this thread)

Any other suggestions are also welcome. I had Galaxy S3 in past so i am familiar with flashing and rooting but this is my first time flashing Lenovo phone.

Sorry for long post.

In the second error, you need to type 'recovery' not 'recover' which is giving you the error, and for the first one, not sure if it matters.

Hi,

I would recommend you to share the latest version of the Stock ROM.

Bugs observed:

1. After succeeding in TWRP and SuperSU, the problem is latest updates were not available.

2. Default upgrade works fine for download. On rebooting, it goes to TWRP again and again.

This means, you need to flash the tool again with old OS.

3. Subsequently, you need to give TWRP, till our friend shares the latest OS.

4. Only you will have the bootloader unlocked.

5. Latest img file of the K8 Note need to be released by you.

I tried to find the download upload file in the TWRP. I am not able to find that also.

My request is to resolve the above for everyone benefits.

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

I need flash again and succeeded.

OS updates downloaded. Then again I lost TWRP. Current version is NMB26.54.94.

In order to maintain the TWRP with root - tried:

1. Try to find the latest OS version in various places - Not succeeded.

2. Default update downloaded and automatically NMB26.54.84. On reboot it goes to TWRP again and Again.

3. Again I need to flash with the OS image and lost the TWRP.

4. If you can share the .img file of the latest OS image file, we can use it maintain the upgrade.

Current status: Lost the TWRP and Living with latest version. Provision clear method for upgrade after rooting with TWRP.

Please share your thoughts.
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] priyank.g:
Update the firmware and then install TWRP and root.

Currently on the same firmware as you mentioned, rooted with Magisk, tried SuperSU earlier and it works too. :good:

[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Anas Rahman:
I would suggest that after installing twrp you shouldn't reboot with fastboot. Force close your device and then manually reboot to recovery. Once you're in recovery flash magisk zip. (if internal shows 0mb go to wipe and Format data)

but now when I was trying to update Magisk to v 16.0, it was unable to install from magisk manager so I have decided to flash Magisk with TWRP but it failed, when cheked now again it shows internal storage 0 mb and I am unable to flash anything.
