Updating ROOTED K3 Note to MarshMallow - K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I had used Lenovo K3 Note Manager by Princ3v to root my device. It had also installed TWRP recovery then.
Now to get OTA update to Android M, I flashed back STOCK recovery using the same tool.
Then I downloaded 1.65GB OTA update in 5 hours.
Now I tapped on reboot to get the update done but I got the message Update Failed.
Please tell me how can I get back to everything stock so that I could update it.
I have Indian version of it as I am from India.
Thanks a lot.

you gotta install stock recovery and then try to update your phone

can you tell me what exactly the logs says, when the update fails?? this info might help. plz try once again and do let me know

you need to install stock indian firmware starting with s205 using flash tool. After that put the downloaded update in the root of your internal storage. You rename this to update.zip if it is not so named. Boot into recovery and update.

I faced the same issue so got it resolved by downloading original rom from the following link and following the instructions stated.
http://www.needrom.com/download/official-stock-s322/
I was able to install it thru CWM recovery but I guess TWRP shud also work

If you use cuoco92s modded/rooted MM ROM for the k3 note, you can flash it directly from TWRP, just be sure to wipe before and after installation.

Hey can i keep the update.zip in sd card nd run in lenovo recovery? Will it update or not! I tried but it gets start normally then on coming 49% message pop ups install failed.!! Help me plzz my phone is stucked on soft brick it only gets on when i plug usb cable to charge.!

[Q] (Q) Galaxy Tab P7310 USA Retail OTA

Hey all,
sorry if this might be a dump question. I have a P7310 USA Retail with StockRom with CWM on it. Now I was offered a HC3.2 OTA Update, I downloaded it, but the installation is aborted. So is it possible to do OTA update with CWM installed?
Also if I only download the update, is there a location on the tab to download it to the PC?
Thanks,
Matteq

Yes , with CWM Recovery you cannot update with OTA, you may need your Old Stock Recovery for complete the instalation. (Android recovery 3E)
Still want apply the update with your CWM? Maybe you can extract the update.zip from /cache with dd from terminal emulator, then you apply the zip file from CWM recovery..
$ su
# cd /cache/fota/
# ls
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
see what kind of file from there..if you find the .zip, copy to sdcard (with dd command) and explore the file..(are the file structure flashable ? if yes, you can apply from cwm recovery..)

Thanks for the hint. There is unfortunally no /tmp... any idea?? Any chance to grap the Image from the server?
Cherrs,
Matteq
sorry mateq, how about /data/cache..
i found bout that here
Maybe you can find some clue..
Give me a feedback if it works..
Or you can just flash the CWM version of it here. No risky Kies involved.
I have the US retail P7310 and I don't have any update for my tab, it is still on 3.1 and it says "No update avalaible" when I check it, is this normal?
All,
I didn't find the update somewhere on the storage of the tab. So I installed the posted and suggested version in the thread. Everything went fine!!! So now the tab is super smooth
I also didn't get the update notification, so if you like you can install the modified stock version out of the forum...perfect! now I have a rooted 3.2 tab with CWM.
Cheers,
Matteq

Use a computer and Download the miflash tool and the correct RECOVERY file for your phone. Flash the file using miflash software. Use your original usb lead to do this. doing this will return your phone to stock.

You might get lollipop update, but mostly, you won't be able to update

No. The stock firmware already has Google apps
Which recovery should I use?
It is tested in Philz recovery. But TWRP and CWM should work too
Any tweaks applied?
No. Its just stock
deodexed or odexed?
I just said it is 'stock' ROM, like 3 three times now. You still ask?

Hi everyone,
I just loaded the V2.8_1535 stock rom (5.1) for Lenovo K3 note. The rom works find, but I couldn't flash my previous CWM recovery used for Lollipop 5.0 onto this new rom.

Can someone show me how to flash recovery onto this rom, or is there any other way to load gapps on? Thanks in advance.
Still same issue...

[Solved] I unrooted using SuperSu. Reset the phone and flashed the stock recovery with the help of reefuge's file. and normally updated the device by checking for updates. Again reset the phone after updating. As of now everything is working fine.

if you havea back up via TWRP restore it then flash back correct stock recovery there are several version for xt1068
if unsure see my signature for easy installer of 5.0.2 stock rom (blue links) this will restore everything to as new out of box
Hey instead of bothering with all this, should I just install CyanogenMod ROM? I'm really afraid to ruin my phone trying to restore stock recovery. I'm really in need of suggestions now.

just install a recovery image to match rom - tell me build number and system version in about phone and i will find correct recovery from my collection and show you how to flash
as long as its a xt1068 recovery and you flash it correctly even if its wrong build version it wont do harm phone would boot and get ota updates - just wont install updates.........
xt1068 can take ANY xt1068 regional version of rom - i have made my UK phone a german/ brazil / global just by flashing regional versions of 5.0.2
Built number LXB22.46-28
System version 22.21.28titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 retin
you must have motorola device manager 2.5.4 installed (this installs titan fastboot drivers) you can re install and choose repair if unsure
download attached zip file to pc and unzip
plug in usb cable and put phone into AP FASTBOOT MODE
this is done by holding power and volume down till screen goes black and chimes then still holding volume down release power count to 5 and release vol down - should now be in boot loader / ap fastboot mode
run recovery flasher.bat from inside unzipped folder on pc
Thank you. And should I restore through twrp even though I'm still on stock ROM? Or just do what you said without bothering about anything else? Cause I'm rooted and I read in your other post that we need to unroot too?

if you have a back up of stock rom it would be best to restore via twrp then flash back stock recovery and then apply ota zip
if root is by supersu i may have option to unroot - not sure though
please help

Don't use kingroot! That's a very bad method to root your phone and also causes the long booting times.Also kingroot has nothing to do with chainfires rooting toolkit. That's ok and if you used it (after unlocking bootloader) I apologize.
In both cases do what @reefuge wrote,install the rom from his signature. Check if you got the right version for your model.
