K3 Note - K50-T3s Update Information - K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Got a K50-T3s and have a few questions, if someone can help me.
My stock version is vibeui_v3.0_1604_7.209.1_ST_K50-T3s (Android 5.1)
Tried to OTA update it but it is giving me this error "Network resquest failed or model is not fit"
Thinking to update it via flash tools. This is the latest stock rom to be applied via FT? vibeui_v3.5_1621_7.62.1_dev_k50-t3s_wc66355725.
Or should i flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom like this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/development/official-build-lenovo-k3-note-k50a40-6-t3370537.
Or should i do anything different thanks.

I installed a custom recovery CWM and flashed a stock mm rom via CWM.

Thanks for reply!
Did you know a way to get back the 800Mhz frequency somehow?
I once read that if you flash a certain custom rom (Cuoco92's one for example) it will unlock the missing frequency because the T3S and T50 model are the same except for the fact that in t3s they disabled that frequency..
But I can't find any confirmation about it..

I have exactly the same problem too.
Your link is for the K50a40. Does it work with the k50-t3s ?
Also, I am concerned that the FDD mode should still work

I had the same problem, which I previously stated.. But then I did some more searching and found the answer to our problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/request-xt1064-xt1063-nandroid-backup-t2929280 The backup is in this forum if you scroll down. Just flash it the same way you did the other back up. Hope I helped.

You must relock bootloader and flash original recovery.img
You can find both in this forum

I did it by flashing stock recovery. The bootloader can be unlocked.
I also removed the root binary(you have the option in super su - full unroot). Then I reflashed twrp.
Good luck.

Yeah, that post saved me. Also found a Russian page with the firmware.
Installed the version XT1052_RETAIL-EU_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_54_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip , In my Case XT1052_RETAIL-​EU_4.4.4 for the ASIAN Retail Version XT1052 if any one needs that. Theres also a GB and DE Version for 4.4.4
Update it via this Guide. Any method works.
PS: Dont try to boot recoveries without flashing with the Moto X. You´ll have a free heart attack like me.
FLASH the Recoveries. Get a Stock Recovery and flash it BEFORE installing any OTA.
Help me out too!!!

Even I hav been stuck on bootloader with no OS on my Moto x xt1052. I'v got the stock firmware but RSD Doesn't detect my device (probably because of no usb debugging enabled). I just have twrp recovery on my phone & when i try to adb sideload it doesn't work, also if i try to flash any custom rom through twrp i get the error "error executing updater binary in the zip" I read that I can manually flash stock rom through mfastboot but i cant find any procedure when i googled about it.
Pls guys help me out.
Hoping for Positive response at earliest.

Firmware update...

Hi all,
Currently receiving an OTA alert about firmware 22.41.24.en.gb. Anyone know what this is? 5.1? Can't install as I am currently rooted with custom recovery and xposed framework. Is all I need to do to install change to the stock recovery?
I've got this update as well this morning. Also rooted with TWRP. I'm no expert but I would say we need to wait for someone to make an update we can flash from recovery.
What is your model?

Locally I have stock image + ota
I can upload ota but for apply it you have to use everything stock
I removed root via super su app menu and reflashed the stock recovery.img before accepting the upgrade.
Then once the update installed ok I put TWRP and root back on the device.

Now that you have ota installed, can you tell me your system version and build number? I have 22.21.28.thea_reteuall.en.EU retfr system version and LXB22.46-28 build number and I didn't receive any OTA upgrade notice. I have not done any mod (root, custom recovery...) to stock
OTA Fails
Damn, even after full unroot and flashing back the stock recovery the OTA fails... And I can't really read why.
Except for root, I installed system settings Tasker plugin and converted it into a system app as well as froze some CN bloatware apps with TB. I will now reflash twrp and reroot and first try to unfreeze and as a last step uninstall the Tasker plugin.
If anybody has some solid experience, please share and maybe save me some time.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Alright, that all didn't work. I realized that the tasker plugin does not copy anything to the system, but I had a Helper app from PinTasker there which I deleted. And I unfroze all the apps and did a full unroot, but still no luck. I don't know what to do anymore now except for going full back to stock (no gapps), but I would rather avoid that if possible.
Still, glad for any input on this matter!
Thanks

Hi, is it possible to flash the stock retgb firmware (on locked bootloader) if the phone came with the retde firmware? Since they are exactly the same model (xt1072) and both firmwares are digitally signed by motorola.
I ask cause the retde hasn't received this ota update yet, and if I switched it to the retgb i could get the ota update right away for the newer modem and bootloader before i unlocked and got cm.
Thx

Indian K3 Note / K50a40: Apply OTA marshmallow update over rooted lollipop w/o reset.

I had rooted my K3 note by replacing the stock recovery with TWRP with the help of SP Flash tools and installing SuperSU.
Recently the Marshmallow OTA update rolled out for the Indian K3 Note. However, when I try installing it, the phone simply reboots without updating. Going through the forums, I believe that this is due to the absence of the stock recovery which seems to be required for installing the update.
I also believe that if I try manually flashing the OTA update zip through TWRP, it'll probably fail, since this is what most people have attempted to do so have experienced.
So how do I go about installing the OTA update now? Do I have to reinstall the stock recovery or is there a workaround via TWRP? If I do have to unroot and install stock recovery, how do I go about it? I don't want to go through the hassles of unrooting my phone to install this update, neither do I want to apply any unofficial ROMs such as the cuoco92 one.
Suggest me some solutions guys..
Thanks in advance

Stop spreading misinformation mate, if you don't know what you're talking about. I've spent the whole evening looking through the internet regarding my query where all of them say that the OTA update only works with stock recovery. Flashing the official OTA update with TWRP will most definitely not work.
There is no definitive article or post which explains how to do it with a rooted phone and custom recovery, which is what I'm looking for.
