update lenovo k3 problem
hello !
i just bought the lenovo k3 note. i have the android 5.0 ... i wanted to check for updates but i cant find anywhere the update button.
i went to setings--about phone and nothing is there,
i tried to force search for updates by dialing *#*#blablabla*#*# and nothing happend.
how is that possible? i cant find anything related to updates in my divice !
please help
My phone downloaded a file of 855.76mb called update.zip on 25/7/2015
I don't know if I should update or not.
go to setting/about phone/system update
Some phones come with the shop suppliers rom so that update option is not available. If you want updates you'll have to flash a different rom with sp tool.
OTA update
I got a K3 note (k50-t5) which had a multi language rom (Android 5.0) with VibeUI 2.5 preinstalled from the shop.
I also had no OTA update on this device.
Given that the german translation had still some Chinese strings and I wanted to get the latest stable Lenovo rom, I searched for a rom with OTA to get OTA back on my device.
After I found www needrom com/download/k50-t5_usr_st2511_5-444-1_1503111505-lang-pk4-china-aliexpress/ I only downloaded the Lenovo OTA app to get the OTA update back and to update to VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5 over the air (which is the actual Lenovo rom stable with Android 5.1).
I didn't had to flash anything to do that - just installed and run the Lenovo OTA app.
BE AWARE:
If you run the OTA update you will loose the Google apps (which you can install with Google Installer app or flash a custom recovery to install the gapps after the OTA update).
AND
VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5 is Chinese/English only!
If you're looking for a multi language rom with OTA, you might want to use the Lenovo Indian rom or another multi language rom which you can find at www needrom com/category/lenovo/serial-k/k-50/ .
How is the phone working after the update? Any difference?

I tested it only a couple of days with the 'old' ROM. So I can't say much about any differences in features or performance.
I had no issue before the update - and have no issue since the update.
Before, it was VibeUI 2.5 Android 5.0 (Multilanguage - with some Chinese within the German translation) - and now its VibeUI 2.8 Android 5.1 (Chinese/English). But I use the Google Now Launcher for a more vanilla like UI.
I had to reinstall the GoogleApps after the OTA update (this is normal with the Chinese/English stock ROM) - you can use the 'Google installer app' for this.
And I had to download and install the Lenovo Music App again - Because the Version after the update was old and in Chinese.
I found the download link for the app here on xdadevelopers (Just search for 'Lenovo music app').
Because I 'lost' the possibility to choose 'German' as system language (so ALL apps where in English) - I used the app 'MoreLocale 2' to change the Configuration to my favorite language 'German' and the Location to Germany.
To give the app the needed permission I used the adb sdk command line tool with 'adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION'.
So now I have the System in English (Settings, Notification bar, and all apps without German language support) - and all apps with German language support are in German (Playstore, Gmail, Chrome, Google+, Skype, Whatsapp, Games, and so on).
Neither root nor a custom recovery is necessary to do any of this.
update to VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5
after your update to VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5 is it support OTA or not ??
and if it is supported you can update through OTA or u have to flash stock rom again
please the links to update
thanks in advance

Lenovo K3 NOte Marshmallow Update
Hi,
i bought Lenovo K3 Note (VIBEUI_V2.5_11520_5.827.1_ST_K50-T5) on Gearbest and phone doesnt have OTA.
How to install newest Android Marshmallow (there is only Indian)? ...is there any workaround, guide, ...or similar?
tnx in advance...
Yes...and: phone came with Super SU and its rooted
just got my hands on a good used p9 plus as a replacement for broken moto lux.
i am impressed by the build quality and the refreshing miui ui on the first look.
dont know so much about the phone, tried to look up information but still a little bit confused.
Still on march security patch after two ota updates.
Got the VIE-L09C432B370 version.
Which part of the build number is the one I can use to look up more information? Cant find any faq.
Any way to update to an actual security patch?
Is there a gcam modded apk for the exynos?
Is magisk officially supported?
If not, what the best way to root?
Is miui in some way customizable? Always had pure android or custom aosp roms.
Thanks for your help!
Ok, so:
1- VIE means vienna, phone's codename. L09 is the variant, it means single sim. CXXX is the region/brand, in your case C432 means europe no brand. B370 in the firmware version.
2- there should be out there an ota out there with November patch, if you can't find it or if you want to update faster look for firmware finder: you'll find a lot of guides on the internet.
3- the CPU is not an exyons, is a kirin, and no there's gcam apk, but the official software is pretty good expecially when it comes to full manual controls.
4- iirc, no
5- install twrp and flash supersu zip, you can find a guide here on xda
6- actually the UI name is EMUI, miui is xiaomi's rom name. There are some themes out there, check the emui themes community on G+, you'll find something more interesting than what you find on the theme app.

But now it seems that i am stuck with B379 and cant unlock my bootloader anymore.
for other huawei devices its recommend to downgrad back to mm and then unlock.
It wont work with nougat.. "password wrong"
anyone any solutions without downgrade?
So, uh I own a Huawei P Smart (FIG LA1) and while the emui after a lot of customization is bearable, I still hate it, can somone please give me a step by step guide on how to achieve downloading
a) twrp because it requires unlocking the bootloader( idkkkk)
b)install stock style android 9.0
and all this without rooting my device?
Also I will be able to use mobile data and all that right?
I hope so.
IM COUNTING ON YOU XDA!!

Android 9 is not yet available on the Huawei P smart, but if you are okay with TWRP, I have been working on a version of EMUI that resembles a Google pixel running Android 9, a lot of Huawei's apps get replaced with Google versions, the settings, notification settings, and app icons get themed to resemble Android 9.0 and a few of Google's other apps are included such as Pixel launcher and Live wallpapers
Hello I have been a lifelong xperia z compact fan, but due to the the awesome camera on the p9 and its similar screen size I am thinking of switching Have some questions that are not clear atm.
- I am used to rooting but it seems that on p9 rooting is only possible with android 6? if i buy a second hand phone with android 8 it is possible to downgrade and root? from what i have read about the p10 it is not possible.
- I noticed that the latest custom EMUI roms are android 7, Is there a big emui interface upgrade with android 8? I am primarly intersted in the camera, with the android 8 is there an improvement in camera quality/camera interface? Do people prefer older versions (6) for battery life or camera quality?
- Someone made the point that these days rooting is less usefull apart from tinkering, the only reason is a proper adblocker, do many users here decide that the latest 8.0 version is worth it over rooting?
- Do any lineage/aosp etc roms have huawei camera ported?
thank you

- Rooting by SuperSU is possible also with Nougat - but SuperSU is no more updated and bacame obsolete nowadays.
Rooting by Magisk is possible with Nougat and Oreo.
Not sure about Marshmallow but Nougat and Oreo definitely cannot be rooted by King(o)Root or so
- If not stuck with the wrong cust, your P9 should be already updated to Nougat (EMUI 5) - even if stuck with, you can rebrand and then upgrade by OTA to the latest stock Nougat.
Only for Chinese cust, P9 will be updated to Oreo (EMUI 8) - but you can also rebrand to and enjoy AL10 c00 Oreo (latest b540 OTA Patch02), with easy modifications it becomes fully 'internetional' (with all languages, Playstore, ready for Google Assistant, international 3G/4G bands, etc) and you can additionally patch Face Unlock (not supported by stock Chinese Oreo, neither by OpenKirin custom ROMs - see further below):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849
- For rebranding and/or rooting you must unlock Bootloader. Code cannot be obtained (and for free) from Huawei anymore, but can be purchased for 4-5 Euros from Ministry of Solutions or DC Unlocker:
https://ministryofsolutions.com/paid-services/amp
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial
- There are OpenKirin Treble ROMs based on LineageOS, ResurrectionRemix and Omni Oreo or even Pie - installation requires first to (rebrand and) update to stock Oreo:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/roms-openkirin-aosp-collection-t3828806
- Besides the AdAway root app and e.g. Magisk module YouTube Vanced, Magisk might be needed or useful if you rebrand and update to Chinese Oreo.
Namely, you must keep the Bootloader unlocked which blocks SafetyNet (and consequently e.g. GPay - not sure if GPay and NFC are supported and by which OpenKirin ROM, it also changes with their updates).
Hence, Magisk hides the unlocked Bootloader, device shows as certified and passes SafetyNet, and you can use GPay on the rebranded and patched EMUI Oreo.
- With (rebranded) stock Oreo, battery is actually better than with stock Nougat.
Cannot tell you about Marshmallow (used ir only short and long ago).
AFAIK, stock Camera with all its features is not (fully) supported by OpenKirin ROMs (used and tested only one of them for a day or two, and few months ago)
PS: If buying a new P9, you can think of dual SIM L19/L29 - but be aware, unlike single SIM L09, dual SIM lacks NFC reader.
Or even about bigger display P9 Plus - all about rebranding, patched Chinese Oreo, OpenKirin ROMs, etc, also applies to:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-plus-vie-t3843930
I recommend getting a P10 instead. But if you can get it for really cheap, the P9 is a very high value phone. Buy phone. Buy DC Unlocker credits. Unlock. Rebrand. Update. Patch. Enjoy Treble and Android O/P.
Thank you so much for the replies guys, yes after doing some more research will buy a p10 second hand, it has a headphone jack, compact screen and great camera very hard to find! unf i read that after a recent firmware update it is now impossible to unlock bootloader from unlockbootloader site .

Be careful (if you plan to do rooting/modding), for some newer Huawei phones, already coming with Android 8 or 9, it is no more possible to unlock Bootloader for free or for 4-5 Euros but only for 30 Euros
And this is not about 'missing that phone from the bootloader codes site, but due to the fact that Huawei switched for them (during the last 6-9 months) to the new and different Bootloader
It might be also questionable what kind of modding is possible at the moment on some of the newest phones with newest firmwares
Not sure does this new Bootloader apply to P10, and does that new Bootloader come by OTA to old P10 phones (better check here on XDA but on the P10 forum)
However, P9 phones do not come and do not get OTA updated with that new Bootloader (even if you rebrand to Chinese Oreo and get its OTA updates), Bootloader code can be bought for 4-5 Euros and modding (incl. rebranding, rooting, etc is possible)
Hi guys, I tried to install apk to enable native call recording for Amdroid 9 but on EMUI 10 it doesn't work. Do you have an idea how to enable it?
Call recorder p30
Never had it on my P30 before, but would really like it now. I'm on EMUI 10...
Only solution for now is to downgrade to EMUI9.1, install Call Recorder and then update to EMUI10. After update from 9.1 it works well.

emui 10 call recording
dears final saying
does call recording work with emui 10 or not. some say it does and some say it doesnt
mate 20 pro or p30 pro devices
It works on EMUI10, but can't be installed on EMUI10. You must have it on 9.1 and do upgrade to EMUI10 via OTA without factory reset.

I am able to install it on version 10. It shows the record button but not working. Im sure a developer can help with this issue.
I am able to install it using apk editor pro. All I did is changing the install location from auto to internal. I don't know why it is making any different, only remember that I read this solve the same issue.
So im sure that if an android developer will take a look at this and change some other thing with apk editor we will be able to install it properly.

That would be great! I saw that there is a beta version for EMUI 10 for Mate 20 Pro, maybe soon there will be for P30 Pro.... hope so! :good:
If someone could help finding a hack, please post instructions on how to install native call recorder for huawei p30 pro emui 10.
Downgrading involves wiping out the device, so that's not an option for me, even with backup and restore.
:fingers-crossed:
At this moment You can not do anything else. You must go back to 9, instal recorder and then upgrade to 10. If this isn't option for You the You must stay on 10 without call recording future.
anyone found a working call recorder for emui 10?
Downgrade to EMUI9.1 (with HiSuite), install Call Recorder and then update to EMUI10. HwCallRecorder.apk works fine.
Hi dear how to work Hwcallrecorder on version emui 10?
