Awesome and Thanks
I am grateful someone with experience is stepping up. I am still pretty new to customizing my phones. This K3 Note is the first Mediatek mobile device I have had. I must say the flashing method is way better then qualcomm, despite the support being far more limited. I have only one request, and I would be happy to contribute where and when I can. That request is to unlock basebands 2 and 4. I live in the US and my network connection is the worst I have ever seen. I am limited to a tertiary channel band support from ALL US service providers. It really sucks, I am lucky when the connection exceeds 80kbs, I haven't had a connection this slow since dial-up. Most apps like maps and weather do not even sync on the mobile network I can only use them on wifi. Please help.

I don't think anyone has figured out how to unlock mediatek lte bands yet.

Is this the rom that it came with when you bought it?
Have you tried flashing a stock rom through SP Flash Tool? It sounds like a bug from your rom, if it's 6752 it has to be octa core, 6732 is quad core.

Yes, but you have to have a custom recovery to flash most of them.
Lenovo K3 Note "CWM/TWRP" ROM Install
Forgive me if this is not the place to ask, but ..... I found "Stock ROMs - Downloads and Tutorials" on reddit.com and the CWM/TWRP installation instructions are a bit different :
Extract the downloaded zip file.
Transfer extracted files onto your device/sdcard.
Boot into Custom Recovery mode.
Use the "Restore Backup" function with the extracted files.
Wipe you Data and Dalvik Cache partition.
Reboot.
..... comared to this (for example) :
Download the custom ROM copied to an external SD card root directory
While holding down:
– Power button + volume button up, to enter the recovery mode.
– Wipe Data / Factory Reset -> delete all user data
– Wipe Cache Partition -> Wipe cache
– Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
Return to recovery main interface Install zip from sdcard --> choose zip from sdcard --> Select your ROM
The "Restore Backup vs Install zip from sdcard" & "Wipe you Data and Dalvik Cache partition vs Wipe Data / Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Is there a difference and why or is it just me? I just want to do it right. Thanks!
Which one is the best ?
I already flashed my Indian ROM using the SP Flash tool and have TWRP custom recovery installed and its working fine.....due to which I was able to change the screen density to 320 from the default by editing the built.prop.....but I am still not able to use xposed framework and viper4android fx...Can you suggest the rom which has these features along with the default ones ? Also the Dolby atmos does not work with any other music player than Google play music...I hope you can throw some light on this
Hello,
I would like to install this rom LiMoNcHeLo NovAMoD MDSTeam VibeAosP, which hackerpower himself is using atm.
But first I have a question about CWM recovery. Yesterday I flashed the CWM from kangel (official thread on k3 note), but I would like to flash the CWM by rootjunky. Can I just flash it via ADB fastboot like I did before or could I get problems flashing CWM over an existing CWM?
Another question that just came up, cause I just read about it in hackerpowers profile - xposed mod/framework - do I have to flash it at the same time I flash the rom or can I use the rom for a few weeks and then decide to flash xposed onto it?
Thank you very much!
And thank you hackerpower for the great work!

Dolby atmos works universally with any app. If you are speaking about poweramp, disable the Direct Volume control (DVC) under Audio settings of poweramp

Just to try and explain the methods you've listed:
#1 Someone has installed a ROM; and perhaps rooted it and added some scripts, mods etc. and then they have backed up this ROM in custom recovery and they've packed up and uploaded this backup (you will need to use the same recovery - and the files will need to be added to the same folder on the sdcard (TWRP/backup/ for example).
#2 Is a zipped ROM with a META-INF folder that tells the recovery what to do with the included files (system, boot (data) etc.)
#2 is preferred as it isn't dependant on a specific type of recovery...

Xposed works on 5.0, links in my sig.
Never liked viper4android.
Dolby works with everything, maybe you uninstalled something you shouldn't have.

You can flash any recovery over another one, no problem. There are many recoveries that don't backup/restore properly be careful, and use the one's posted.
You can install/uninstall xposed framework whenever you want, after the first boot will take a long time.
Hi
Iam using this phone from 2 weeks.I flashed the indian Rom but i still have battery draining problem . I lose the full charge after 10 hours of normal use. The battery draining in this phone is very strange and i have never seen like it.
Well i am asking if there is a Rom that manages the battery backup in the best way.And Also the free Ram i am gotting in opening this phone is about 800 mb wich is strange also.

Install cpu spy plus and monitor the frequency. I believe your device is not going to deep sleep mode.
Also if no deep sleep install another app better battery stat and check the partial and kernel wakelock when not using the device. Try airplane mode and repeat above process. Finally if it doesn't figured, it is hardware problem, get it replaced

Thanks for the reply hackerpower!
So just to make sure I'm goint to do the right steps in the right order:
After I installed the CWM recovery like rootjunky did in the video you linked in your description, I will do the follwing:
1. Make sure battery is fully charged and boot into recovery
2. backup and restore - backup
3. wipe cache partition
4. advanced - wipe dalvik cache
5. wipe data/factory reset
6. install zip from sdcard (LiMoNcHeLo NovAMoD MDSTeam VibeAosP - gapps already included, so there's no need to flash any gapps.zip)
7. the rom description says root 100%, do I need to flash SuperSU.zip at this point then?
8. restart - enjoy
Lenove K3 note Model K50a40 GPS not working properly
Last month I brought Lenove k3 note in india from Flipkart.
Following is my device information.
Model Number : Lenove K50a40
BaseBand Version :K50a40.LWG.V37,2015/05/21 09:44,2015/05/21 09:44
BuildNumber: K50a40_S117_150706_row
I am facing issue with GPS of this device. GPS is very inaccurate. GPS is quite slow to lock on, and seems to "try too hard" to maintain the lock. GPS position easily "dislocates" to the adjacent or another nearby road. With My old phone I was using Runtastic app and it was capturing distance correctly. Now it shows my location at random places and end up showing totally wrong map of my run session and distance estimates. I am highly disappointed from this phone due to this issue. Is there any fix for this issue?

1. Doesn't need to be fully charged, just don't have little like <20%
2. backup (boot, nvram, system, data)
3.4.5. advanced wipe (select everything except internal storage and sd card)
6.7.8 just flash rom, everything is already there, first boot takes a while.

Hi, my friends.
Great news . The new official update Leeco that has come in Indian web finally brings everything to their phones sold worldwide:
- Multilanguage. But, really. All are translated (I only tried Spanish, I assume that the other languages also). In Europe only translate to Spanish, English and French. The rest are Asian languages.
- Leeco Account. Integrated with Google account, as it should be. Leeco access to the entire EUI universe. Synchronization of our contacts, photos, etc.
- All active applications, including Leeco LIVE, Levidi, Leview ...
- Google for Works integrated with Gmail Exchange account, Play Music, Play Video, Google+, Yotube .
Only rest check battery perfomance, but ROM it´s smooth and powerful.

yes, it's a good one. just installed no problems so far.
I had a problem with previous stock versions that 4G speed had some hickups....when I was downloading (for example from google store) it paused for 30 seconds..sometimes longer.
tried SIM in slot 2 and vice versa..but problem remains.
now it goes smoothly without pauses (so far)
also had the CM13 which is almost the best, apart from the sound bug...definitely one I want on this phone for a long time..if sound thingy is fixed.
thanks!
Recommendation Do Not Use India version
This version apparently has data encryption enabled and will not show a viable data partition. This will cause TWRP to fail and subsequent attempts at root or installation of other roms.

Hmm..Ok! phone is encrypted indeed..do you know if there's as a way to decrypt or turn it off.?twrp is asking for a password when going onto recovery now...in previous roms the encrypt option was not greyed out.
or is only way to get in twrp and wipe everything.
Thanks !

Under TWRP data it´s encrypted. But under Windows not. Copy to your computer all files that you need save (photos, music, etc.), and then format data in TWRP.

You did not understand my question properly.
Right now, there is absolutely NO way to install TWRP on Indian X821 model. I cannot format DATA without installing TWRP.
All the TWRPs available on this forum give a BLOD (Blue Led of Death) The screen remains blank but powered on. The Blue LED light remains. There is another guy who is having the same problem and he has created a separate topic for it.
We can restart the phone normally but the installed TWRP gets overwritten with stock recovery.
atm here is no solution for your device, you need to wait until a developer create a TWRP compatible for your device.

What I did was to go into settings -> fingerprint -> -> other security options -> trusted credentials and disabled the credentials. You have to do this one by one as the clear all option is grayed out. From there I went into and fast boot and flashed TWRP recovery. I rebooted immediately to RECOVERY wiped everything on internal storage. I then transfered a ROM to storage and flashed normally. All is working again and TWRP and root are functioning.
WTF, ok it is a security related issue?

I flashed old 14S Chinese ROM and then flashed recovery. My phone shows X820 now. I guess X820 and X821 may be just the same. It's the Chinese Roms show X820 and Indian Rom shows X821.
BTW I am on TeamSpain's CM Rom. Working good except charging.
If I used my Aukey QC 3.0 charger, the LED flashed like crazy and Ampere current measuring App showed 4680 mAh charging current and was climbing. (QC 3.0 shouldn't exceed 3000 mAh) So I immediately disconected it. Gave me a scare for a moment. Normal charging is slow but no LED blinking and feels safer.

Not a security. Just a way for Indian Dev's to prevent users from messing with their OS and to keep users on 100% stock.

So can someone clarify if there's a way to clean install this ROM on a Chinese version of the phone and have a) TWRP b) ROOT working or is that impossible for now?
Exactly the same way as you install any other ROM. I have a Chinese phone and installed this ROM and uninstalled it because of its encrypted. Yes, the le-bloat is gone, but you will be unable to install TWRP or root because of the encryption.

Copy all your files (photos, videos, music, etc.) under Windows and enter TWRP, format DATA, reboot system, configure setupwizard, reboot TWRP again and copy supersu. zip and flash it.
Hello friends,
In a moment of a severe mental handicap, I appear to have flashed a Mi4(cancro) ROM in EDL mode when I was trying to unlock my bootloader.
(The reason was that the guide I was using had a broken download link, so I searched for the filename and downloaded from one of the mirrors I found. I did not realize I was now downloading a file with a different device prefix (cancro instead of kenzo.).
So after the unavoidable brick, I was able to recover by flashing a proper Kenzo MIUI rom with disabled device checks (Since the phone now thought it was a Mi4, I guess).
MIUI is booting, but most of the functions are broken:
- No camera
- No SIM/Service
- Can't adjust brightness
- No rotation
Maybe there's more stuff broken, but I did not check every corner.
I moved on to try CM13, but that won't boot up at all (just sits there at the boot animation).
So far everything I've tried to get the phone back into a working state has failed, but I'm still getting used to this phone's specifics, so I may have missed something.
Please tell me there is something I can do.
if you can get to the recovery then WIPE everything out (system, cache,etc) then install the stock MIUI for your note3, if it booted up then you can move on to any other Rom...

Thank you. I can indeed get to recovery, but I always end up without sim card and camera when I flash an official rom.
I just tried to go back to the shop rom from geekbuying, that at least made brightness and rotation work, but still no signal/camera. I feel there's some firmware missing or was overwritten by my stupid action and now there does not seem to be a simple way to get it back up.
EDIT: So I just found out that my IMEI is gone. I will try to use a guide to re-set it. Hopefully, that will get mobile service running again. Dunno about camera, though
So this guide was written by @DeathByArmadillo who partly copied it from user "Danmue" from an old post. Anyway, it works.
Tested on Mi Note 10 with Global rom.
Just re-posted it in it's own thread because the information was a bit scattered among the threads.

- An unlocked phone (duh). It can take 3 days, a week, or more to get your phone unlocked. So I recommend starting the process as soon as you get the phone.
- A full backup of your phone as this will wipe it clean. Unlocking ALSO wipes your phone. You can use Google One (as far as I know) to backup most stuff. I usually use Super Backup & Restore to back up all contacts, calendars, etc. Then I copy over ALL my folders to my PC - except "Android" as it's just usually junk/data files for apps that I can't copy back anyway. Last I use Google One to also do a full backup. As far as I know - this is what you can do without root.

Yes, you need the two recoveries. At least I needed both.
What we do, notes:
- I had issues with OrangeFox while I was using EEA firmware (EU). After flashing Global firmware on my phone the battery issues went away, and I was able to use OrangeFox after.
- TWRP can be a bit non-responsive, like for me it was at the unlock screen. For some reason after a few tries I managed to make my inputs work. Just kept touching the screen lol.
Steps:
- Boot your phone in fastboot mode. (Turn it off; Then hold VOLUME_DOWN and Power. it should display this weird looking thing with an ushanka saying FASTBOOT MODE.)
- Open command prompt and go to the Android SDK tools folder where you can find "fastboot.exe".
- Type the following:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-tucana-mauronofrio.img
- TWRP will boot up now. Unlock your device as normal and it should show up in Windows as a drive.
Copy over the
Code:
OrangeFox-Unofficial-tucana-20191120.zip
file.
- Go into Install on your phone and pick the OrangeFox zip file you just copied over.
Once done, just go Back and Reboot and Recovery.
- OrangeFox should boot up. Unlock once again.
- Go into Partition management, tap Data, and tap Format. Not wipe, FORMAT.
(if you get an error reboot to recovery and try again)
- Go Back, Reboot, Recovery.
- Copy the Xiaomi.EU rom you want to the phone. I used Stable.
- Use Install within OrangeFox to install the rom.
- Go back. Reboot into Recovery. Once again.
- Format data partition. NOT wipe. Format.
- Finally, reboot to system.
Thanks for taking the time to order it, good job
Though NOW the issue is that the recovery (either TWRP or Orange Fox) won't work with touch, which is a bit of a pain.

Sorry my emails didn't arrive. Interesting, it works for me. Followed the steps 100%, using Mi Note 10 Global rom. I just booted up Orange Fox after turning off my phone and it works just fine. I seriously wonder what can kill recovery input... sounds like such a super weird bug.
I did boot TWRP (mauronofrio's) and then installed OrangeFox from there. Maybe that's the key.

Yeah, possibly that, no clue. Don't get me wrong, it's not a biggie, as I always have an OTG mouse setup just in case that kind of stuff happens, just weird. On the whole that phone is a bit of an odd duck, not sure I'm going to stick to it, too much inconsistencies, both hardware and software.

Yea I tried to find blobs today for 730g but there is nothing on the internet (yet?).
I mean, the phone works for me - if they just fix the missing "Ignore Do Not Disturb" option, I am golden...
flashed orangefox through twrp, touch doesnt work at all. But it worked on the first time, flashed MIROOM. Maybe it is related to the currently installed rom.
Edit: Flashed TWRP from fastboot and touch is working again. Just to be sure, reflashed orangefox and it didn't work again... I'll stick to TWRP, although I dont know if it is a problem with TWRP but i can't flash GSI roms
Hello,
Sorry for my Bad english.
with the stable rom 11.0.7, the orange fox touch works perfectly.
but with development roms, touch does not work. tested with 20.1.9 and 20.1.15.
Touch work with flashed twrp from fastboot

I get big battery drain on official MIUI Global 11.0.13. Are you running Miui EU or global rom?
Miui.EU (Based on china rom) https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-11-0-stable-release.52628/
Some reported that their battery issue went away after flashing miui.eu

For flashing recoveries as twrp, I think the bootloader always needs to be unlocked.

There is a MIUI Global 11.0.13? The latest I see is 1.0.7?
I'm looking to update for improved camera speed etc.
First timer on Global Rom, now o EU Beta. Followed instructions, nothing else needed. Thanks a lot! (also, having an usb mouse just in case paid off)

Edit: solved, pay your bills in time kids !
Hi guys, I have a mobile data issue since i flashed my phone two days ago.
I cannot connect my phone to the internet unless I use wifi. Texts and calls are working.
Issue is occurring on both Lineage OS 18 (unofficial) and CrDroid 11.
I already flashed and reflashed the roms, wipe data, system, everything multiple times, flashed the original modem/NON-HLOS.bin file via fastboot with no luck. Tried on multiple recovery too just in case (twrp, pitchblackRP, OrangeFox). I mostly use sideloading but install from an sd card got me the same results.
Issue happens with rooted (magisk last version) roms and unrooted roms aswell.
I had several issues about twrp/recovery being unable to mount /data, which I tricked to do so by resizing data from ext4 to ext2 then to ext4 again. Not sure that's the good way to do it.
I tried to go back to a clean room with relocking the bootloader and flashing the official fastboot rom but I got stuck on a bootloop. I tried other methods with MiFlash and succeeded into booting the official rom but i'm stuck on the Welcome/new device screen (the little slideshow crash/won't advance to the next step when i have to choose between recover data from an old phone or start from scratch). I went back to crdroid for now.
My first thought was to tinker with the APN but it didn't worked, sometimes i get a message like "APN Settings are not available for the current user" but I usually manage to still write them, with no effect still. I'm on the a french operator called "Free"
Typing ##4636## in my phone app gets me to a debug menu where I can see that I'm not connected to the data services (but i'm connected to the vocal services). I have a way to check the IMS state in this menu, which tells me that i'm not registered, don't know what that means.
Already did the trick of cleaning sim card, going in plane mode, changing favorite network and so on. I'm a little desperate
If you cannot help me with this, can someone points me a good tutorial on how to going nuclear on a phone and delete everything to reflash an official Mi rom ? I'm quite used to flashing roms but I still get a bit lost between a factory reset, a data wipe, and what to flash/wipe/mount in order etc.
Vendor or firmware flashing you test?
I think maybe vendor help

Sorry i didn't mention it. My last flash attempt was flash Xiaomi FW > flash crdroid > flash gapps >flash magisk and that's my current set up, and it still doesn't works. The issue might lie in the SIM card, i previously tried the sim card of a relative on my phone and it didn't do much but this morning the same sim worked and mine still does not. I'll report back once I have a new one.
Edit: could you explain what vendor is ? What's the difference with the fw or a rom ?

I'm going to lose it lmao, the reason why I didn't had any access to my mobile data is because... My monthly bill payment didn't went through because of a credit card renewal.... I apparently decided to flash my rom the day of the due date and didn't saw any warning hence the confusion. Probleme solved, I paid my bill and the data is back (what a surprise). i feel like an idiot but i've learnt things, thanks for the link joke19.
