Hi I'm very new to android rooting but after loosing my brand new lg g4 I bought a k3 note to have a play with, I have rooted it using the kingroot app and installed trwp custom recovery with another app my problem is the ROMs I have tried to flash fail? Gapps is fine and installs but the cm 12 ROM from rootjunky fails every time anyone have any ideas? As I said this is my first rooting so I'm probably missing something simple! Thanks for any help
refer this thread on xda forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/general/organized-thread-lenovo-k3-note-k50-t3158522
you will get the necessary help there
@Bigbainy Don't install cm12 from rootjunky instead go to index thread by @hackerpower he have every solution and he had made a list of roms plus there are backups by hackerpower too... Or u can to www.needrom.com for latest k3 note roms or there are chinese forums too like bbs.ydss.cn
Thanks guys I downloaded hacker power cm ROM and it flashed successfully but when I rebooted the phone just went back to stock ?
Got it sorted now flashed cwm recovery and the ROMs install fine now

So I tried the latest SuperSu and also the beta version of Supersu but boot loop both the time. Did anyone root it? Or any idea or any other tool through which it can be done? I used the standard rooting method. Didn't work. I'm using Indian version k50a40_S324_160328_ROW current build.
Also, there's k3 note manager tool but it has negative reviews for rooting Marshmallow. Though will try it.

If u flash custom recovery and rooted stock then i GUESS you have to flash patched boot.img.. go to the index thread in k3 note general forums
Followed Shashwat Uttam YouTube video "how to root and install twrp recovery on lenovo k3 note!". It worked fine and easy. For rooting flash updated supersu. You can also follow the video for instructions.

Hello XDA! Greetings! I just got a K4 Note on an S150 firmware update which was rooted with Kingroot. About a day or two, I replaced it SuperSU. Bootloader status unknown but no problems whatsoever. Btw, I never unlocked the bootloader
Everything is in excellent running condition at this point. Anyway, I get notifications pertaining to S152 System Update. Tried OTA, Lenovo Smart Assistant on desktop and lastly by using Lenovo's stock recovery. Unfortunately, all 3 methods prevented me from installing the S152 update. Performed a Factory reset via back up and reset in Settings. Still no Go.
With my Sony Z3 and C3, I just flashed XZDual recovery and never had any problems. Am a little cautious with what I am reading re Lenovo K4
What would be the surest and quickest way to install the S152? My K4 is running S150 with SuperSU 2.76 at the moment.
Anyone regarding my upgrade path?
Please see attachments for reference.
Download
Give download link? :good:
I found link and instruction for upgrade, unbrick, back from custom rom, etc....and I hope that it will be useful for the most people. My recommendation is to use force upgrade method with three buttons. Enjoy!

I used those service roms with same method for p10 lite, p9 lite. I didnt try this one, but, I dont expect any problem because instruction is provided by Huawei. Just, read instruction, but again my recommendation is force method. Because, normal upgrade is not necessary with this rom, ota, or ffinder are more efficient. But if someone bricked phone, or has custom rom, this is the best thing for rollback to stock rom. The reason why to use forced method iis simple, because with three buttons first flash stock recovery and than stock recovery automaticly repair all system and upgrade all things.

No, no this rom is not for rollback. Only if you have issues with Nougat mentioned servise rom is usefull. But if You try rollback from Emui 8 with this yiu can brick phone. For rollback from Emui 8 to Emui 5 must use official rollback from ffinder.

How can you downgrade from softbricked Oreo ROM where FFindar can't be loaded to Nougat ?

How did you brick phone on Emui 8? Only solution is to try to unlock bootloader in fasrboot and downgrade using twrp, hwota. Method for rollback you can find here in our section. https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/development/downgrade-p10-plus-oreo-to-nougat-t3724382
Regards and good luck.

Long story. Three days was trying to get it unbricked, even it was in service shop, but they didn't do much
however, upgrade from nougat to oreo didn't went well at first. Almost an hour it was installing oreo update zip file in twrp, so I had to turn off the mobile phone in middle of process. At last, it booted to Oreo, but after a first restart (changed overall appearance from large to medium), it just bootlooped. As I had nandroid backup of nougat in twrp, I tried to restore to that, and my problems just got bigger. I tried to go back to oreo again, multile times, different builds, but no luck. Than I found the method you linked, and with great help of guys from Telegram group, it booted again in OS. Hell yes
Strange thing that happend that it didn't booted to Nougat, but in Oreo acctually. Probably LowLevel format helped to fix partitions and stuff, after that bootloader was unlocked again, As for now I have bad Oreo version (8.0.0.046) will rollback again to Nougat.
I'm try to download but on half its stoped
Hi all I used this service rom and it got my phone working again but there are problems the dialer and contacts apps do not work anymore I had to Install 3rd party apps and software update is gone the project menu won't come up when you key in *#*#2846579#*#* command. Fastboot won't let me install twrp fastboot screen shows bootloader unlocked. Frp unlock As it stands I'm stuck with a working limited phone. Does anyone have any ideas I could try

Please let me know where I can find the service ROM for a VKY-L09 (P10 Plus).
The instructions on this forum are written very garbled and not clear enough for me to take a chance and upgrade my phone from Nougat to OREO.

I agree with you all instruction for p10 plus make confusion. You can try this to upgrade to Oreo https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/how-to/huawei-p10-plus-debrand-rebrand-update-t3715288
But, you have stock emui 5 or some custom rom? Im asking because if you had stock rom you had to get regular Ota to emui 8. If you have custom just try to.use Hwota method from mentioned link. I have similar procedure with Hwota for p10 lite so it could be usefull in your case just as example to see how it works
https://youtu.be/m2hZT1g0jtg
If you have stock firmware emui 5, stock recovery and locked bootloader you can try Ffinder for upgrade too.

Thank you for your reply. First reply from Huawei contributors. Thank you.
I have stock EMUI v5.10 and Android v7.0.
I unlocked the device, installed TWRP and rooted it.
I would like to upgrade to OREO and was hoping to find a solution that will allow me to upgrade using TWRP as it is working and installed.
Please advise.
Thank you once again.
