SP FLASH TOOL Tutorial to install TWRP / Custom Recovery in Lenovo K3 Note

UPDATE: Hi. This is just to notify everyone that I am not maintaining or replying to comments in this thread anymore.
K3 note was one of my most favorite phone of all time, and will always be, but it's way too old now. I am using and doing 'research' on other devices now.
So please pardon me for not replying to you. But you can always find help regarding issues on tons of other places!
:highfive:
​
Installing custom recovery on K3 Note using SP Flash Tool
(COMPLETE TUTORIAL)​
NOTE:
This post helps you if you need to:
1. Fix a bricked device
2. Install custom recovery to install custom rom later
3. Make your device bricked (if you do not follow this post correctly)
You will find the necessary files related to this post in the attachments
First, get your PC ready:
Download and Install "LenovoUsbDriver_v1.1.13.exe", then Restart pc.
Download and extract "SP_Flash_Tool" zip (I used v5.1820_Win, but you may try latest versions)
Link to download : https://spflashtools.com/category/windows
Open SP Flash Tool (Double click on flash_tool.exe from inside the SP Flash Tool folder)
Go to Options > Option... > Download > Tick "DA DL All with Checksum" > Close the options box
Close SP Flash Tool
Now, the flashing part:
Download and Extract "TWRP_v3.0.0-3_for_SP_Flash_Tool.zip" *
Open SP Flash Tool, and From "Download" Tab click on "Scatter-Loading"
Browse the TWRP v3.0.0-3 folder and select the "MT6752_Android_scatter.txt" file > Ok **
Click on "Download" icon
Completely turn off your phone (BUT DO NOT REMOVE BATTERY) and connect it to PC using usb cable.
Wait till the Process completes and a "Download ok" box will appear with a green tick. Disconnect the phone from cable.
Done!
Now press and hold VolumeUp+VolumeDown+PowerButton all three buttons at one untill you see the "TWRP" logo.
The phone will boot into custom recovery you just installed.
Check this screenshot for illustrated steps:

}
* The provided folder has TWRP v3.0.0-3 recovery in it
To flash other custom recoveries (Like CWM, or other TWRP versions), follow this:
i. Rename your recovery image file to "recovery.img"
ii. Replace the "recovery.img" file inside the folder from TWRP_v3.0.0-3_for_SP_Flash_Tool.zip with your "recovery.img"
iii. Continue from Step 7
** You can also flash ROW/CUSTOM roms (which are made ready for SP FLASH TOOL) using this method. For that, Just select the scatter file inside the ROM folder (IN STEP 8)
*** REMEMBER If you have a MARSHMALLOW (Android OS 6.0) rom: Marshmallow roms need to be flashed with patched boot image for custom recoveries. Go to the index thread of k50 note for the patched boot images.
And by the way, there's a thanks button below if you find this post helpful! :highfive:

If I flash TWRP in this way, am I going to destroy ROM that is currently installed?

Since, I am not born with knowledge of flashing custom recoveries/ROMs, is anyone willing to answer?

Please refer to these two links. There are multiple roms for k3 note. Different roms have slightly different installation processes.

Then I choose Reboot System, installed Root.
And the phone does not boot !

You probably has a marshmallow rom. Marshmallow roms need to flash patched boot image for custom recoveries. Go to the index thread of k50 note for the patched boot images.

If you are rooted, you can do that. Without root this tutorial is the only way.

Only works for me when USB is plugged while holding volume up, else SP flashtool won't start and not responding.

I'm on ROW S327 at the moment. Will this method work for me? Thank you!

Some feedback would be appreciated!

Flashed. Looks good and works well.
One critique from my limited use: Add more contrast to the "swipe to unlock" when the screen times out. It was hard to identify the slider as it is pretty well hidden by the background.

here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Km0FbYnea1aDdIaTEydElhUkk/view?usp=sharing

twrp has not made it to 3 ox you have to use a downgrade to get a fresh start using unbrick method, (keep flashable backup via flashify) get twrp installed with the new (old) boot loader, flash cm14+ext. and you are done.
if you had cm13 or the likes, please confirm if you CAN upgrade to 14 before ox people start trying to install without knowing if it even has android 6 (last update i saw on the branch was from june 7 so idk)
teamwin does not have twrp for the ox 3 on oneplus x yet (on their releases anyway) so you have to follow some other process to downgrade to a twrp'able os (and a backup) before trying yo install this
if i see any info from people who have been able to update (and if it has android 7) i'll try to make a video on the process (in white, Texan english)

Please remove this page.

Did you try boot into it:

Seems like the guide says you have to boot into it, not flash it.

You're right. I tried fastboot boot twrp_for_ox_3.1.0.img instead of fastboot flash recovery twrp_for_ox_3.1.0.img and it booted into twrp_for_ox_3.1.0. But it still return an error when flash CM14, the same of twrp 3.0.2.0.

Looks like a successful install to me. Could you provide twrp logs?

With whose permission did you post this build here ? Don't you think there was a reason that even after a complete build of CM14 it was still not posted to the forums ?
I am asking you, as politely as possible, to remove the links and this fake procedure, when N is ready, it will be shared, you might find phony builds or legit but non working ones on the interweebz, that doesn't mean it gives you the right to share it just because you think its cool, because its not.
Take it down.
EDIT: Sure, if you build yourself and want to share it then you're more than welcome.

And then they will cry if things are broken !! Take it down folk !

This Build was just a test build, what made u think that i will not post it here on xda if the rom booted? We, the team are working to make it work but yeah dont post the builds from afh here, will update u all for sure when its done. I think it was my mistake to not to make that build private. -_-

It flashes successfully but doesn't boot, goes back into recovery. Still, great work.

congrats for succesfull starter build
hats off !!!!! to you guys ([/B]developers off this rom) :good:

Tap on Install in the TWRP main screen.
Now, the default mode is to flash zip files, you will need to toggle the mode to images.
To do so, tap on the Images… button on the bottom-right of the screen.
The recovery will now only see the image files, select the one you desire to flash, this could either be a system or boot image file.
Once you select, you will be prompted to select the type of image it is, select Boot or system corresponding to the image file you selected.
Finally, swipe the button on the bottom of the screen to start the flashing process.

Yeah did that. Works but it has some problems and also, it says its for Lenovo S660.
There are problems with the ROM as it keeps asking if I want to switch to SD card as default write disk, screen flickers bad...and its identifying the phone as a different model which can cause problems installing other apps not intended for this model....I'm guessing that last part.
Right now I am trying to find the latest stable Marshmallow ROM and not seeing one that works.
Any ideas? Too bad there is no Resurrection Remix ROM for this model.

Aweome ROM but autofocus is a problem. Any ideas, please?

Hi all
This is just the best ROM for my phone I've found, love it, but autofocus doesn't work with any of revisions of boot. I see the autofocus question still has no answer, that's very sad. Am I forced to upgrade to CM because of autofocus only? I like this vanilla Lolipop very much, everything works just great, battery runs 1,3 times longer than on stock Lenovo ROM
Let me know if I can help with testing
Thanks!

[Guide] Give your OnePlus X a new look

You're having a OnePlus X and you're bored up with his bootanimation, operating system and whatsoever? This guide is made for you.

}
​
Let's begin this with some usual advices :
I'm not responsible if you break your smartphone, if it stops working (properly or not at all) or if it blows up. You're attempting these modifications at your own risks.
If you never heard about flashing roms, Gapps and whatsoever, pass your way. This guide is made for people that have at least a bit of knowledge in Android developpement and roms.
This guide is made ONLY for OnePlusX devices. Everything I'm about to introduce to you worked on mine. :good:
You may brick your phone (If so, check the "Usefull Stuff section).
You're waranty may (is) void after these modifications.
Let's do this!
********** OPX Modifications **********​
So here are 4 different ways on how to modify your OPX system, make it look unique.
1. Alternative Roms​
So here we are, for our first step: OS modification
First thing you want to do is to replace the recovery menu of your OPX.
To do so, I invite you to check on the excellent work that Funk Wizard did. You can stop after step 3.
Once you did this, you want to download you're costum rom (personnaly Lineage) and download Gapps . You should always prefer Official costum roms to Unofficial costum roms.
Make sure you stored these files on an external micro sd.
View attachment 4435729​
Here you go, you're about to flash your costum rom :
Reboot into recovery mode
You can make a backup of your phone (optional) that should allow you to get all your datas back if you change your mind or if the flashing operation does not work.
​
Then go to the Wipe section and wipe your phone (All the unsaved datas will be lost)
​
Go back to the main menue and select the install section.
​
Select the storage where your zip files are located and select your costum rom zip file. Flash it.
​
Once that's done, hit the back button, select your Gapps zip file and flash again.
​
You can now reboot into system and configure your phone. You're done with this !
2. Boot Animation​
So here we are, for our second step : Boot Animation Modification
If you don't see what a Boot Animation is, this is the kind of video that is played when you turn on your mobile phone (after the oneplus/android logo).
Boot Animation Example​
This step is somehow way easier than the first one. Thing is, you gotta be rooted first. Here is a quick step by step guide on how to root your device (Magisk root)
Root process :
​
Beeing a rooted user will allow you to have access to all your smartphone files and system. The process is pretty easy. You can follow this XDA Thread. All credits to them. Otherwise, here is a quick recap :
Make sure you don't have any other root installed. If so, uninstall it.
Download the latest Magisk zip file
Reboot to a custom recovery and flash the flashable zip
​
Reboot to system, and check whether Magisk Manager is installed and the version matches the latest one in the OP
If for some reason Magisk Manager isn't installed/upgraded automatically, please install/upgrade it manually!
Via Magisk Manager (Only support v14.0+)

You're now a superuser!
Boot Animation modification Process :
Once that's done, you have two different ways to modify your Boot Animation :
Install an app that will make it for you, there are plenty of them, just take a look on the google playstore.
​
You don't find the Boot Animation you're dreaming about in apps. Then you gotta find the boot animation you want and get a file named bootanimation.zip once that's done, you want to open you're file browser (ES explorer works pretty fine once you've disabled all the notifications/pop-ups) enable root mode and go to /system/media. You'll find a file named bootanimation.zip. You can backitup, renaming it bootanimation.zip.bak for example. Then copy the bootanimation.zip file you've downloaded and paste it in this folder. Once that's done, reboot and enjoy !
​
You're done with this step !
3. Boot Logo​
And now here we are for our third step : Boot Logo modification ️
The Boot logo stands for the "OnePlus Logo and powered by android" picture that appears when you turn on your mobile phone.
Boot Logo Picture​
The hardest part of your work is to find the boot logo you want. Tanks to this guy at XDA, here are a few boot logo that you may enjoy. All credits are to this guy. Thx mate (If you don't find the boot logo you want, you can probably find some more on the internet. You're looking for a zip file.)
Once you've downloaded your new boot logo zip file, you need one more time to reboot into recovery mode. Hit the install section.
​
Select your boot logo zip file,
​
Flash it,
​
Reboot, you're done!
​
I think I've heard about a splash injector tool that allows you to use whatever image you want as your boot logo, but I didn't try it. Surch and perform at you're own risks.

4. Battery Charging Animation​
Finaly, here we are, the last but not the least of our four steps : Battery Animation
This is probably the trickiest part of this guide, but thanks to @Aaahh work (credits to this awsome guy), and to me, this is way easier.
You can either follow his guide, or download the zip file I made for you. (Worked on a OnePlusX with LineageOs 14.1, TWRP 3.2.xx and Magisk root installed)
View attachment Battery-Images-Changer.zip​
Once you've got the zip file stored in your device, you just have to flash it. To do so, reboot into recovery mode. Hit install, select your file and finally flash it.
