Changelog:

"

Initial ground work for software drawn keyboard (_that) Fix handling of wiping internal storage on datamedia devices (xuefer) Allow DataManager to set and read values from the system properties (xuefer) Fix crash when taking screenshots on arm64 devices (xuefer) Fix error message after an ORS script completes (Dees_Troy) Fix crashes / error when creating encrypted backups (_that, Dees_Troy) Add system read only option – more details below (Dees_Troy) Add resize2fs and GUI option to run resize2fs (Dees_Troy) Fix crash loop caused by empty lines in AOSP recovery command file (_that) Prevent duplicate page overlays such as multiple lock screens (mdmower) System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again. resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don’t take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason. This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at https://jenkins.twrp.me and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at https://gerrit.twrp.me to help us keep devices up to date and working.

Modding Lenovo K3 Note
I anticipate that I will, nor the forum will take responsibility 'of malfunctions and \ or damage!

Part One - CMW Install and Root command line

In this thread, I'll describe a simple, fast, and definitely safer than SPFTools.
SPFTools VCOM working on ports that are not always recognized, sometimes give problems also installing special drivers, they are almost always a problem for Windows because of the signatures on the driver.

Closed this little digression for information, we start with the drivers:

Quote:

Driver Lenovo K3 Note + PDAnet+:
https://mega.co.nz/#!O4lmBaZa!jCUk1z...xi6TXuwcBOCv5k

Install all drivers Lenovo inside. Once you finished enable the USB debugging and wait for Windows to complete its configuration.
When completed restart the PC and install the utility on the device:

Quote:

PdaNet:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...m.pdanet&hl=it

Be sure to restart to have all the drivers installed correctly and stay in Debug USB.
Without this included in your terminal this .zip file to obtain permits Root later:

SuperSU:
https://mega.co.nz/#!b8tSiYZJ!yr3okw...Z3VUSALqTKszsM

Now download this Minimal ADB (with Recovery K3 notes included) from here:

Quote:

Minimal ADB & Fastboot + K3 Note Recovery (CWM):
https://mega.co.nz/#!rs0lHZrI!hE3Ux9...92uU0KJB3iQNdo

Now comes the fun part!
Unzip the zip file and open the file py_cmd.exe and quietly run these commands:

Code:

adb devices

To ensure that the PC recognizes the device, and if it should be unauthorized make sure that USB debugging is enabled.

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

This command will reboot the phone on a black screen, going in fastboot .

Code:

fastboot devices

This command will confirm the above.

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

This command will install the much sought CWM, but it is not over yet!

Code:

fastboot reboot

This command will restart the device.

Perfect! now to get root permissions, there will be that off the device, wait a few seconds and turn it on using this key combination:

Quote:

VOLUME UP - VOLUME DOWN - POWER

Wait until the CWM is not playing, choose obviously the English language.
Subsequently searching

Code:

install zip

... and subsequently ...

Code:

choose zip from /sdcard

... looking for that zip file SuperUser inserted at the beginning.

Et voila! The device is unlocked and ready to receive new rom and functionality!

Part Two - Install new ROM from SPFTools CWM does not work when

Many with the above guide you tried to change the finding in eom stuck.
With this procedure you can go back, but before we move forward I want to give you a few details regarding the update of the rom:

*- The rom mounted on chinese devices with Play Service support and multilanguage already moddate the seller.
*- Given the above, download a rom 'official' (see NeedRom) carrying the phone in its native state.
*- If you need to download the latest versions from the site VibeUI not download the latest available, sometimes the downgrade is not possible (personal experience).

Let's start!

First, before you go ahead to make sure you have followed the guidance post 100% in the first part of the thread.
Follow the link:

Quote:

SPFTools V5:
https://mega.co.nz/#!G0sVBK5A!M9Dovh...ePtJgZRXyjtG7w

Now unpack everything and put it in a folder convenient for you.

I post the link of a rom in case I tried to see if this will work, even to you. To me it is working well.
In the third part if this rom works almost everyone will get all roms that I find around and decide what to do and what to do.

Quote:

Rom 1949Deal:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zep53n1j21...20rom.rar?dl=0
Password: 1949dealjoy

Once downloaded, extract directory in a readily available and open flash_tool.exe .

Before we go on, first remove the battery and attach only the USB cable, then set the SPFTools this:

Set in this way the program.

In step [1] look for the previously extracted folder and locate the file.

Give the program a few seconds to load the rom, and after leaving it in Download Only Click Download .
Obviously nothing will happen, to make sure that going forward, you can simply insert the battery and wait for the completion of the transaction.

Reinstall the back cover and turn on the device. Give it about 8/10 minutes for the first startup.

Et voila! We are again ready to modding this Lenovo K3 notes!

Part Three - Collection ROM

In update


You will not find in this type of tour guides, as is the link is driving are my own work, so excluding the Play app store are my property. If you have any problem with the link, do not hesitate to ask.
