Nailed down the heating issue. CPU cores 8 and 9 which has 2.3 GHz cluster are running with full performance. I see in lenovo community forum it is due to jio volte.

I think I messed up really hard... So I didn't like the oreo update so thought of reverting back to Nougat and I flashed using fastboot... Then it went to bootloop, I tried once again and it didn't fix it... Then I used SP flash tool and checked the format all + download... Don't ask me why and now I'm stuck at nothing but a black screen... I cannot connect it to pc also can't access the bootloader menu... So does it have any solutions at all?
[Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] keerthiraja1988:
Why blood same blood here

Same issue I had did. No help at all. I know how hard without smartphone.

You need to give it to Lenovo Service center and they will fix & update it to Oreo and give it to you(they said "no revert back to Nougat"). Since bootloader unlocked, they charged 450rs.
