Hey guys i've found a tutorial on youtube to unlock the bootloader of k4 note and rooting it for android marshmallow 6.0. I think this is the only tutorial on net to show how to unlock the bootloader of k4 note marshmallow.
here the link-
[Marshmallow] Install Custom/TWRP recovery on Lenovo K4 note/A7010a48
This is the Rooting video
so guys i want to know that,
after unlocking bootloader can i do OTA updates? can i get notifications for OTA updates as i am getting before?
what happens with the lenovo stock recovery? am i be able to do OTA updates using custom recovery?
can i use flashfire on my phone? and can i install CM 11 on my phone? and can i go back to lollipop using flashfire(if yes pls tell me how)?
when i install any other rom on my phone then can i do OTA updates and if i revert back to stock rom then what happens with the custom recovery?
does custom recovery can do OTA updates? like, after flashing custom roms can i get notifications of new software update, and can i update them from settings>about>software update. (can i do OTA updates when i am running custom rom in my phone?)
Flashfire can be used in place of sp flash tools or other pc tools?
sorry but in all those cases i am a noob(not fully), but i really need the answers.
and i really need you guys to look in that tutorials, are they safe?
and i hope answers of this questions will help other new users too. Thanks in advance.
I also want the answers
No replies, i really need the answers guys
At first, I don't own a Lenovo K4, nor I owned any Lenovo Device. The following answers should be correct, but (in case of need) I now say that I'm not responsible for any Hard- or Software-Damage
NOTICE: If that is the phone you want to get bricked, follow all these Video-Tutorials above and the Steps below and make as many typos and mistakes as you can and you'll have the best chances to brick your device!
* I don't know what happens to OTA Updates after unlocking, as its dependent on the Manufracturer (hope I wrote that right), but most likely you won't get any OTA Updates
* Stock recovery should stay
* I don't know flashfire, but to use any flashing apps (I think it is one), your device has to be rooted
* You can install CM11 on your phone, if it's availabe for your model, either official or unofficial. Of course, you need a Custom Recovery
* Custom ROM OTA Updates are dependent on the ROM, for example CyanogenMod gets OTA Updates, if it's officially supported
* For reversing back to Stock ROM, you would need the system image for flashing, but it should work in General
* As mentioned above, I don't know Flashfire and it's functions, but I think, that no App can replace a PC program, because a pc program also works in case of a Phone Failure

Depends how you update. Just don't update with ota or pc companion.
1 Downgrade to 4.4.2
2 Root phone
3 Install recovery for locked bootloader
4 Flash rooted 4.4.4 zip in recovery
5 latest firmware and root remains
I am new to Sony devices (been a Samsung guy for years). I have had my Z2 less than a fortnight but already I'm itching to root it etc, problem is it seems a lot more complicated than Samsung devices. I was always switching between roms on my S4/note 2. I am on the latest firmware and would like to root it to be able to use xposed but I'm scared of messing it up and as the phone is under warranty don't want to end up with a paper weight.
Has anyone done a detailed tutorial for newbies like myself?
Thanks in advance

It's not really that hard and there are also of resources online that can guide you.
1 Downgrade to 4.4.2 is required as noone had found a vulnerability with 4.4.4.
2 Root phone
For step 1 and 2, Have a look at this http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-sony-xperia-z2-xda-developer-tv/
3 install recovery for lock bootloader
Have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785598
4 install a 4.4.4 zip through recovery. I recommend this one as its basically stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-4-4-4-23-0-1-0-167-bug-free-t2929402

You can try Kingroot or Root Genius.
There should be some efforts made towards developing a rom for this phone. Quite a long time, quite a decent phone for low budget users.

This is the correct process of rooting the your Huawei Y541-U02
1) Go tho Phone Settings.
2) Under Phone Settings go to Security option.
3) Under "Security" option unchecked the following Unknown Sources and Verify Apps.
4) Install the Rooting app. In my phone i used Kingroot app to root my phone. any rooting apps will do, not just kingroot..
5) Start the rooting app and start the rooting process.
6) Phone will be successfully rooted.
Note: Verify Apps option under security will deny the owner of the phone to install rooting apps...
Enjoy the benefits with rooted phone.....

Hi guys, first I want to apology if it has already been asked.
I'm running Android 6.0 (32.1.A.1.185) on my E5823. My phone is rooted and have Xposed installed (Hi Niantic)
I can't get rid of the notification for 32.2.A.0.224.
Should I update?
Will I loose root and Xposed? If so, how can I get rid of this annoying update notification?
Thanks a lot
You won't be able to update the official way without getting rid of the mods/root.
Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk
Okay thanks. How am I supposed to update then?
Can I remove this annoying persistent notification?
the difference not that big, i would wait for 7.0 nougat if i were you
probably coming somewhere in 2017 Q1 - Q3
(i'm really waiting for last version b4 rooting my device, also i don't want void my warranty, and the reason rooting ruin ota update like *bushako* said
(i guess you have to use flashtool\adb to flash) i didnt use flash tool for a while (used on my previous sony)

Uninstall Xposed framework and then you'll need to flash stock kernel using fastboot which would also remove whatever custom recovery and root you have.

Thanks. I'll do it for 7.0 I think
Hey, I was asking myself: if I install systemless root (Magisk), will I be able to OTA? (if Magisk is compatible with my phone, which I'm not totally sure)
Thanks

I wouldn't recommend it. Even if you do succeed in updating you could end up with a bricked device or just mess up your firmware and would have to do redo everything. Best is to bring it back to complete stock and then do the update.
Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk
Okay, thanks for the reply
I don't really see the problem. Just flash the latest firmware using Flashtool and then root again by using the rootkernel mod in this forum. Xposed and such aren't a problem either.
Hi
Is it possible to use Flashtool with twrp/root/xposed? Btw I think my bootloader is still unlocked.
And what should I use to root? Something like this or this?

If your bootloader is unlocked you should be able to follow both tutorials just fine.
In short:
Flash new firmware using Flashtool
Patch kernel of new firmware and flash it
Flash SuperSU and Xposed using TWRP
Enjoy life
If you need step-for-step help, just send me a PM with your instant messasing contact details. I'll help where needed.
Hi, thanks for the reply, I'll do that when I'll have more free time.
Instead of SuperSU, can I flash Magisk?
Bump
Thanks

You'll first need to downgrade to an older firmware in order to backup the TA partition. This thread describes everything very detailed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/how-to-backup-restore-ta-partition-root-t3479532

In my case MM 6.0.1 (.224 or .253) solved the battery drain issue during night/sleep, so i would highly recommend it. There is also a discussion regarding this.
as suggested by others, i would not directly OTA upgrade with modded kernel, Supersu and Xposed installed. I would do it with flashtool.
If you want to stick with the current version, simply disable/hide/remove the Software update app (or "hide all notifications from this app".)
I froze it a while ago with Rom Toolbox, but thanks

Hi, I'm still on 32.1.A.1.185
Flashtool (Emma) only allow me to install 32.0.A.6.200 (there is Customized MY and NOBA, don't know the difference) and 32.1.A.1.163 (only Customized_NOBA)
Why can't I update to a more recent firmware?

Hey there guys, actually I bought an iVOOMi Me3 recently and I wanted a phone with Android Oreo, but this phone has Android nougat (7.0) and I had to settle due to low budget. And also this phone isn't much popular so I can't find any guides for rooting it and I can't find TWRP or CWM for it. And I wanna get it rooted and install a custom recovery. Also, I need a ROM with Android Oreo(8.0) or at least 7.1.1 or 7.1.2. Please help!

Kingroot won't work+I don't trust that at all. Anyway, I got rid of my ivoomi in 6 months. And now have a moto and am happy developing roms for it(even got official maintainership for cosp), anyway, rooting is easy. Just unlock your bootloader, and flash twrp using fastboot and then flash magisk. It's not that tough, but you can quote me if you run into any issues. Thanks!

without a pc you cant flash twrp unless you have root. So, I'd suggest you to use a friends' someone else's PC.

Not yet, unfortunately. It seems developement for this great phone is going to be slower this time around because I think Huawei made it so it's more difficult to build a custom recovery for it. I fear that unless someone puts a bounty on some sort of custom recovery for us (TWRP) it's gonna be awhile.
