Cool. I wish I knew this before. I selected Download + Format option and lost the serial number.

Edit: Restored Serial No. Successfully using SN Writer.
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] softmaster3:
how did u manage to restore imei and serial?

i tried maui meta and sn writer without any success .. both failed to connect even i tried many times and reinstalled vcom drivers and tried different PCs

when i try my phone boots and gets stuck on the boot screen with lenovo logo and white background but sn writer and maui meta gives errors like timeout or default fail ...can u or someone help?

should i revert to stock rom with sp flash tool first or what?

currently i'm on lineage-15.1-20190601

please help
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Anas Rahman:
Try restoring to stock first by following the instructions in OP. Then use Maui Meta to restore imei. I have used it and can confirm that it works although it took me 2-3 times to get it to connect
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] softmaster3:
sorry i didnt understand

u mean i should revert to stock first ?

what is OP?

i tried maui and sn writer too many times on different PCs and different usb ports with no results on lineage os

would it work with stock rom?

thanks in advance
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Anas Rahman:
Yes I meant you should revert to stock first... OP is the first post in this thread (the LOS one)... I've successfully restored imei twice on stock using Maui Meta but never tried on Los... Try connecting and wait for about 5 minutes then reboot if it doesn't and try again, it took me 3-4 times for my phone to detect
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] softmaster3:
thanks a lot anas.. at last i managed to connect using maui meta but cant get the database files compatible with the stock version i installed ..see the attached image when i choose get db from target

and i downloaded many database files but none of them worked

My current rom is MANNING OMB-27-43-45
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] M.A.P:
Either use latest nvram database file or downgrade to previous versions and then use it
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] softmaster3:
thanks but i'm having trouble finding the correct nvram files

and i dont know why when i click get db file from phone it gives the error in the image attached to my previous comment

should i reflash the stock rom with format all option in sp flash tools to fix this or i just need the right nvram files ?

any help?
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kk9999gada:
db file is not required for restoring imei. Ignore that error. Use the Maui Meta tool from this thread :

https://xdaforums.com/k8-note/how-to/how-to-fix-imei-problem-lenovo-k8-note-t3830675

In imei section select change database file. A popup will appear saying something just select yes. Ignore nvram inconsistent error. Now you will see 2 imei tabs. Now fill in the imei in both the tabs, leave imei imcrement to default. Now select upload to flash. Thats it.
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] softmaster3:
thanks alot ...it worked !!!

at last imei restored!!!!

but couldn't change serial number by using barcode option though

I wrote it and got successful message but nothing changed
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kk9999gada:
Maui Meta is fine for restoring IMEI but it won't work for Serial No. on our phone.

For restoring Serial No. we will require db file. I am working on writing a detailed guide for restoring everything using "SN Writer" on K8 Note.

Stay tuned.
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] softmaster3:
thanks for your help

i wish u could find a solution for nvram database file mismatch coz i tried and searched a lot without success and i think i might will have to use sp flash tools with format all option if i couldn't fix that
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kk9999gada:
Relax. Don't worry. Even if you use format all option then also you will get nvram db mismatch. Wait 1-2 days for my guide it works 100%, i'm working on it. Then we will discuss on that thread because this thread is now going off topic.

Is volte ever going to work in future or not?
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] M.A.P:
Well this question is unpredictale, no one can say whether it'll work or not, though it mostly wont work, cause you need to make mtk frameworks work with the rom. But the chances are there(very slim), but I dont think you can expect it anytime soon.

Waking up

Does anybody else have an issue with their K8 Note not "waking up" from a screen time out? I am running the Lineage OS and I was hoping that this is one of the things it fixed, but the behavior seems to have carried over from the Lenovo Stock ROM and OTA updates that preceded it.

BTW, the Lineage OS has been installed now for about six weeks and it all seems to work as advertised! Thanks to all the developers that made this possible.

[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Anas Rahman:
No functional bugs for me, everything seems to be working fine as of now. There is no turbo charge , but charging speed is decent (comparatively better back when I was on RR). Music Key doesn't work since it's a GSI and there's no provision for 'extra keys'. I tired using button mapper but it didn't detect it.

I m really glad that developers make this awesome ROM

But

I recently installed Lineage OS-15.1-20190601 but still facing random reboot problem and bootloop problem.

Actually it starts from lenovo Oreos OTA UPDATE.

To get rig of it I installed L'OS-15.1-20190601 with twrp 3.3.1, magisk-v19.3.

Plz could anyone tell me why is this random reboot is happening .

And how to solve this "in steps plz."
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] M.A.P:
It is like a disease that came due to oreo update ota (Don't think of downgrading to nougat, the phone wont even start), even formatting and flashing the whole thing didn't work, many members actually my friends got affected too. The only thing those clever service center guys do is replace motherboard. They did say Moto is planning to push android 8.1 update that fixes the issue.. But to be honest, seeing moto's update track record I'm bit skeptical about update.

Flashable zip for reverting to stock partition-table

I've noticed that some of you users don't have access to PC for flashing back the stock rom through SP Flash Tool, So I am sharing a flashable zip that does the job for you guys.

Steps for reverting back to stock partition table

* Flash manning_stockpartition.zip attached to the post.

* Reboot to recovery

* Wipe system.

Now you will get an error that TWRP is not able to mount /vendor because we reverted back to stock partition table which doesn't have vendor partition.

Before flashing this ROM, if you don't have stock system and boot images, use the BACKUP function and backup them. Remember that format data or wipe data clears the whole internal storage so you will loose this backup if you backup to internal storage if you do that, if backed up to sdcard it doesn't get affected unless you wipe micro sd in TWRP

Steps for reverting back to STOCK ROM

* Complete the Steps for reverting back to stock partition table.

* Restore the backup of stock boot and system or you can use the TWRP to flash stock system and boot images that you have.

If you have SP Flash Tools and stock rom, you can use "Firmware Upgrade" option to flash stock rom which will automatically restore the partition table.

Caution:Never use the "Format All + Download" option in SP Flash Tools. It will wipe your serial number, IMEI and other device specific information. If you follow the steps properly, you can revert back to stock without any issues, but by mistake if you use "Format All + Download" you will loose device specific info as stated above and "I am not responsible for it"
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] m1sterand3rs0n:
Thank you so much for your work on the device and making it treble-compatible. I've been running the stock ROM all this time but I want to flash this one just so I get to use the Android 10 GSI.

I wanted to ask - if I'm flashing this ROM just for the Android 10 GSI, do I need to flash the GAPPS for 8.1? I don't know if GSI's contain GAPPS and if I have to flash GAPPS for Android 10 afterwards... could you clarify the situation regarding this?
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] M.A.P:
Most of the GSIs do have a variant with gapps and one without it and some even have one of FOSS. If you want to use a GSI which doesn't include GAPPS then use the one for Android 10, but I think you will be able to find a GAPPS variant for most of the GSIs
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] m1sterand3rs0n:
Finally tried to flash the phone with this ROM but the TWRP isn't flashing. My bootloader is unlocked. It's showing Error 21, E:Footer is wrong and saying signatures didn't match. How to get around that?

EDIT: IGNORE THIS ONE, SEE NEXT COMMENT
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] m1sterand3rs0n:
Issue - phone ONLY boots to recovery

I don't have logcats or anything but I'll try to describe in detail what happened when I tried to install this ROM, in the hope that somebody else has faced the same issues and can help me solve it.

I didn't miss a step. The first time I tried to flash, there were some errors with bootloader lock and whatnot, but it went fine. The phone booted and LineageOS 15.1 seemed to be working fine; only it didn't detect any of my sim cards.

Because I had already downloaded Android 10 GSI I thought I should try it out. The flashing went fine again and the phone booted. But the issue of not detecting sim cards persisted.

Somebody else on this thread earlier had reported the same problem. M. A. P. had suggested them to do a factory reset and see what happened. So I did the same. But once the factory reset happened, the phone refused to boot back into the OS, only went into recovery. I've tried flashing the ROM again and again, using the same methods following the same instructions that I did the first time. I've tried replicating the process by re-flashing stock partition and recovery before going back to the TWRP provided here, then re-partitioning again, in an effort to simulate the process of the first time. But the problem persists - the flash goes fine but the phone ONLY boots to recovery.

Has anybody else faced this issue? Any idea how to fix this?
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] M.A.P:
The sim cards not being detected is odd... if you want that issue fixed give logcat, it is strange because I have been using the previous(of last year) and current rom and it is fine. Coming to the recovery issue.. I did face that issue 2-3 times when I was working on the device, no matter what I did it always rebooted to recovery. I needed to use firmware upgrade option in spflashtool to flash stock rom, then unlock bootloader and then needed to flash recovery and rom again.
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] m1sterand3rs0n:
Thanks for the quick reply... I'll try to flash the stock rom, if there's any further issue I'll report back here

Workarounds

Is all the workaround fixed now so I could install it?
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] M.A.P:
This project is sort of dead, I have stopped using this device, moreover you have mentioned about others having simcard issues but I and other testers and even group members have tested the rom and found no such issues, if you can once reconfirm that no such issue exists in stock rom for you it would be reassuring. I actually daily drove it for 10 months with gsis and faced no such issues too. The logcat which you have provided is not complete. There is 'Attach Files' under Additional options for adding attachments.
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ank Sak:
Unable to find the attach file, in my browser...... WT, I am saying the facts the truth about problems of no network no sim card detection, I was active during legacy days, so I know about flashing roms, recoveries, scripts, moddings, etc... Made new account in XDA, unable to post logcat using XDA app too.. WTF...

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

I am now on Oreo stock rom, everything is working...

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

The problems about network Are all real and booting to twrp is also real, lying to you makes no sense, previously I provided incomplete logcat, 30k words, lineage rom has no other problems, I personally want stock custom rom so that I can flash gsi over it, the logcat I provide will only be related to network..
[Lenovo K8 Note ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] M.A.P:
I agree. But I find it strange that only you and another single tester faced such issue. There are many members in https://t.me/LenovoK8Series the telegram group where testers and also regular end users are there, none have reported such issue, and yes, the logcat is not complete and you said that you are not able to paste full logcat. Also if you haven't tried before, flash the latest stock rom which I believe is OMB27.40-70 . I've stopped working on this device, hence labelled the thread as discontinued, so no more builds would be up. But I just tried the rom again on the device to reconfirm the issue.

I have tried both single and dual sim, and they seem to work fine for me, even after many reboots. I'm not saying that you are lying, but just reconfirmed that it is working for me, only you and another person in the group are facing this issue, a full logcat would help, moreover If I am not wrong, you do get signal bar with no signals right? And I also think imei is getting detected just fine if you dial *#06# ?

Hey so, yeah I just let the phone sit and it somehow booted in after almost what seemed to be an hour. Out of the frying pan, but into the fire, the problem now is, my phone no longer connects to google, i.e., I'm unable to use my google accounts anymore. It just goes into a perpetual loading state wherein it tries to get account information and stay there. Is there any workaround? I unfortunately happen to use apps such as youtube music. And I most definitely cannot connect to any of my games either. Please advise
