When compiling ROMs it is advised to use H324 source because it's not so broken and is universal for single/dual sim.

How to flash?
Best method is MTK FlashTool(download)
Grab uboot (This is for devices that have android 5.0 on them, should work for all models, tested on my H420 and works)
Grab TWRP 3.0
1. Unzip Flashtool.
2. Get recovery.img and uboot.img from recovery and uboot zips.
3. Open flash-tool.exe
4. Select scatter file. which is in the same folder as flash-tool.exe
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Select your uboot and recovery.img click on the highlighted, it will open the file picker.
6. Turn off your phone, plug in usb cable in the computer.
7. Click the download button in flashtool, plug the usb cable.
8. Wait for it to say ok.
DONE!
To enter recovery:
1. Turn phone off.
2. Hold power and volume down
3. When screen turns on, let go of the buttons and quickly hold them again.
4. A menu should appear about factory reset. Don't worry, it won't since the recovery is custom.
5. Select yes using volume keys, you'll need to do it two times.
6. Voila!
To root stock 6.0, download this and place files in flashtool like in the guide above, just pick the files and flash. (recovery.emmc.win = recovery; logo.emmc.win = logo etc.) afterwards you can go ahead and get a magisk zip and flash it (it needs to be modified to be able to patch our device, thanks to the people @ 4pda for being so helpful) here

forget my last question (kinda stupid). i have a problem if you guys could help me would be great. after flashing everything succesfully on the phone, wich is a spirit H420, under phone info now i get H422. it wouldn't be a problem if only i could flash the marshmallow kdz meant for the H420, but the installation process via LGUP doesn't even start. i've seen interesting stuff on 4pda, maybe i could find H420 lollipop stock there? to start from scratch before updating?
can anyone help me to revert the phone info?

In my case, I tried to upgrade my H420 from LP to MM via lg Mobile support tool or lg pc suite, but neither does the trick, constantly getting error. I have the MM .kdz file that is named as "H42020C_00_0530" but I tried to flash it through lg flashtool 2014, this one in vain too. What I should do to get Marshmallow? Thanks!

apparently marshmallow can't be flashed using flashtool 2014, in 4pda there's a link to this video. the video is in russian, but to put it simply: go to lg site of your country, go to support, find your device, download drivers and "LG support tool" wich is a new version of the 2014 flash tool, install both of them, insert the phone turned on because the software needs to recognise the model of the phone. it will find the upgrade, "the phone may reboot, do not disconnect etc.", sadly it will go through the process of downloading the update from the internet, so no use of our kdz.
i've managed to get untill "upgrade available" step using a mobile connection, but since the firewall of my university is filtered (and beside the weight of the file, my phone would reboot, so no tethering) i can't update now. as soon as i get to a private connection i'll try. let me know if you succeed.

No way with lg support tool, it didn't pass over the download of the firmware, just give error. I resolved following (by google translate) this: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=686154&st=2500#entry50284916, then the green colored link Прошивка android 6.0 с нуля через LG Flashtool, finally download the attachment named H422, about 1,1 Gb. But the guide assumes that you utilize a firmware with .dz extension, not .kdz...We need an extractor/converter, just get this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3136613&stc=1&d=1422375946.
Then, if you have, like me, downloaded the v20c MM stock firmware from a site like this: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=190, just extract the two files needed to flash our H420: "LGUPc.dll" and "H42020c00.dz". I hope I've explained myself well or almost....:silly:
If needed, just ask. I'm pretty happy with my solution.:victory:

DONE! thanks mate! owe you one
a clarification to anyone who might come here: the 2013 version of lg flash tool, wich is required for this guide is contained in the H422.rar of the russian guide. it took me a couple of minutes to understand. also i didn't understand the part of the green link, but i managed to update anyway, so i think your advice is pretty clear.
i'm not sure if this kind of update was needed for my device (didn't try upgrade tool), but since it was succesfull for you, i already posses the .kdz and i'm on a limited connection, i decided to give it a try...and SUCCESS!
already like marshmallow, hope memory leak doesn't affect our devices, and can't wait for root!

Modding Lenovo K3 Note
I anticipate that I will, nor the forum will take responsibility 'of malfunctions and \ or damage!
Part One - CMW Install and Root command line
In this thread, I'll describe a simple, fast, and definitely safer than SPFTools.
SPFTools VCOM working on ports that are not always recognized, sometimes give problems also installing special drivers, they are almost always a problem for Windows because of the signatures on the driver.
Closed this little digression for information, we start with the drivers:
Driver Lenovo K3 Note + PDAnet+:
https://mega.co.nz/#!O4lmBaZa!jCUk1z0BB6wsBgP1P3e5BdoJQtBY_xi6TXuwcBOCv5k
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install all drivers Lenovo inside. Once you finished enable the USB debugging and wait for Windows to complete its configuration.
When completed restart the PC and install the utility on the device:
PdaNet:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdanet&hl=it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Be sure to restart to have all the drivers installed correctly and stay in Debug USB.
Without this included in your terminal this .zip file to obtain permits Root later:
SuperSU:
https://mega.co.nz/#!b8tSiYZJ!yr3okwkxmoR8NqSN10PCEtxsLl25aZ3VUSALqTKszsM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now download this Minimal ADB (with Recovery K3 notes included) from here:
Minimal ADB & Fastboot + K3 Note Recovery (CWM):
https://mega.co.nz/#!rs0lHZrI!hE3Ux99skP-q3RYsgb9KNwX2Dnji192uU0KJB3iQNdo
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now comes the fun part!
Unzip the zip file and open the file py_cmd.exe and quietly run these commands:
Code:
adb devices
To ensure that the PC recognizes the device, and if it should be unauthorized make sure that USB debugging is enabled.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
This command will reboot the phone on a black screen, going in fastboot .
Code:
fastboot devices
This command will confirm the above.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This command will install the much sought CWM, but it is not over yet!
Code:
fastboot reboot
This command will restart the device.
Perfect! now to get root permissions, there will be that off the device, wait a few seconds and turn it on using this key combination:
VOLUME UP - VOLUME DOWN - POWER
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wait until the CWM is not playing, choose obviously the English language.
Subsequently searching
Code:
install zip
... and subsequently ...
Code:
choose zip from /sdcard
... looking for that zip file SuperUser inserted at the beginning.
Et voila! The device is unlocked and ready to receive new rom and functionality!
Part Two - Install new ROM from SPFTools CWM does not work when
Many with the above guide you tried to change the finding in eom stuck.
With this procedure you can go back, but before we move forward I want to give you a few details regarding the update of the rom:
*- The rom mounted on chinese devices with Play Service support and multilanguage already moddate the seller.
*- Given the above, download a rom 'official' (see NeedRom) carrying the phone in its native state.
*- If you need to download the latest versions from the site VibeUI not download the latest available, sometimes the downgrade is not possible (personal experience).
Let's start!
First, before you go ahead to make sure you have followed the guidance post 100% in the first part of the thread.
Follow the link:
SPFTools V5:
https://mega.co.nz/#!G0sVBK5A!M9DovhVgx_aCdXpySq0zmkKvrPbAFePtJgZRXyjtG7w
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now unpack everything and put it in a folder convenient for you.
I post the link of a rom in case I tried to see if this will work, even to you. To me it is working well.
In the third part if this rom works almost everyone will get all roms that I find around and decide what to do and what to do.
Rom 1949Deal:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zep53n1j214ri45/lenovo k3 note rom.rar?dl=0
Password: 1949dealjoy
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once downloaded, extract directory in a readily available and open flash_tool.exe .
Before we go on, first remove the battery and attach only the USB cable, then set the SPFTools this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Set in this way the program.
In step [1] look for the previously extracted folder and locate the file.
Give the program a few seconds to load the rom, and after leaving it in Download Only Click Download .
Obviously nothing will happen, to make sure that going forward, you can simply insert the battery and wait for the completion of the transaction.
Reinstall the back cover and turn on the device. Give it about 8/10 minutes for the first startup.
Et voila! We are again ready to modding this Lenovo K3 notes!
Part Three - Collection ROM
In update
You will not find in this type of tour guides, as is the link is driving are my own work, so excluding the Play app store are my property. If you have any problem with the link, do not hesitate to ask.
If you have been useful, it is needless to say that it is a thanks is appreciated!
PS: SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH!
Works like a charm. Thanks
will get my lenovo in a week and will use this guide, Thanks!
just one question, when installing the driver's is phono connected to pc? and is it connected with battery inside it?

Better add a custom ROM for Lenovo K3 note in the thread has official Roms of lenovo k3 note are useless bcuz FDD 4G and VPN are not supported in k3 notes official ROM. It would be better if some one finds and updates the thread with k3 notes custom roms available :good:

Do you have it and know that FDD LTE is not supported? Sounds unlikely as China Unicom has FDD LTE in addition to TDD LTE (and the phone supports China Unicom).

[REQ] SafeCenter
Dear Colleagues,
I have Lenovo Vibe Z2. It has got recently the Lollipop upgrade that works quite well. But Lenovo did not include the SafeCecter app into the upgrade and the old one, extracted from the 4.4 ROM, isn't compatible with the new ROM, it even cannot be installed.
So, my request: would someone be so kind and extract the SafeCecter app from the K3 Note firmware for me? Since the K3 also has Lollipop I hope that your SafeCecter would serve well on my Z2 too.
Thanks a lot in advance!

phone has to be in PTP usb mode not MTP usb mode and double click on themepush and then hit run don't run as administrator.
Has anyone managed to get Google apps installed on the CM 12.1 ROM for the Z9 Mini? If so, how?
edit: nm, figured it out, been a little while since I've used CM. You need to download the GApps zip from CM, make sure it's the 64bit version, than install it via Recovery.
Vijay. Have done exactly what you suggested. Changed USB debugging to PTP from MTP etc... Still shows error fastboot not recognized when I'm on #2. . Any thoughts or suggestions?

I see that on your download link for roms is a 12.1 cm rom, is that one working? I can't find anything about it on the Internet.

It's unofficial, comes from a Chinese forum. It does mostly work, however I've now removed it because it disables the backlighting for the back and menu capacitive keys and you lose access to a few features from the stock ROM, like the excellent camera app.
Any fully working Custom ROM?
I have tried many custom ROMS like CM 12.1, MIUI etc and finally have reverted to the latest factory V1.19(Chinese version) as the breathing lights and Nubia camera functions do not work on the custom ROM's . But even on the factory based ROM I have faced one major issue. I am using BSNL and iDEA sims. I am not able to enable 3G on my BSNL sim and the only combo where I can use 3G is when i use iDEA as the first sim. the 3G/2G changing does not seem to work fluently...It stubbornly stays on 2G and sometimes even when 3G is enabled on BSNL, I do not see any data even if I try to turn the data slider on. Has any one come across such issues? Everything started after I rooted my phone and tried to install custom ROM's. Now even when i flash the factory ROM these weird issues remain...
yeah cm has camera issue video recording does not work
You also have to checkmark the box on your phone! when USB debugging is turned on.
Go into setting about phone. tap build number like 7 times. then press back once the click more then you should see a new menu called developer options. click on the and scroll to usb debugging then once the slider is blue a window should pop up on your phone tick allow all the time and that wool should now work!
or try a different USB port in computer and a different cable. Make sure drivers are installed. and phone has to be connected to computer with you being able to access its root folder first.

I have a C version and was able to intall a real root access with Kingo and than remove the unwanted apps with a good uninstall app.
Now I have almost non chineese signs, my battery lasts mutch longer and it feels more "my phone"
One problem to solve. I can't lock the screen. Probaly because the phonenumber isn't bound. There is no way to fill the number field with a + and my international number. So I can't get a code to bind.
Is ther somebody with the same problem?
Hey everyone. I have one strange and annoying problem:
I went running, so I turned on Endomondo and Rocket Player. I started new training and started running. After few minutes both apps stopped working(without any alerts or anything). I tried few times again with Endomondo and every time when I unlocked phone the app was like freshly started. I have no clue what to do now. Now I'm trying playing some music on rocket player - after few minutes app just stops again......
Oh, and if you shake your phone do you have a feeling that something is "clunking" inside?
I heard that the A version of rom got less crappy apps than U or C. In general if you want use this phone use version A and wait for I.
Hey guys,
got this device since yesterday and wanted to remove the chinese-bloatware. But if I deinstall them with TB, they just reappear after reboot. Isn't this possible with the last firmware (Flyme OS 4.5.3.2A)?
Thank you very much!
Hello everyone,
I did all the works in trying to root it (according to every available instruction available), and still no app (and I did try a lot) has root access. Basically, just the same as this guy:

Has anyone encountered any such problems? Firmware is 4.5.3.1A, phone purchased off Pandawill.

Thank you, this worked. Below is a short summary, in case anybody is interested.
First did an upgrade, all the settings and apps remained as they were, and the root worked. Well, Play Store had it's issues, which could have been solved. After, did a clean upgrade, and it still worked. So I guess that's the solution. Be wary that you have to use "Google Installer" in the Meizu "App Center" to install Google Play.
BUUUUUT. Now the mobile data services won't work. I did uninstall some System applications, but I stayed within those proposed by the OP in the first posts. Does anybody know where to go to solve this?
Thanks!

Aaaaaand, I made it all work out. Don't really know how - after quite a few APN settings, it finally worked. Even though I'm 99% sure I did the right settings the first time. Hell knows.
So, for any others - watch out over your APN settings after a clean install. You must use your carrier's defaults (found on their website). And maybe a bit of luck/voodoo? Dunno what I did wrong the first times.

I got my device with 4.5.3.2 a. it has only a limited list of languages.
Has anyone the version 4.5.3 a? please update what languages it has
try to install google services, but the google installer from app center failed when try install google services. after that "a key to install" came up and i press it, but same thing happen, always failed. even uninstall and reinstall the google installer
EDIT :
I found out that the newest version that is google installer 2.0 from App Center doesn't work well. i download the 1.4.4 it's install successfully on my m2 mini running flyme 4.5.3.2a
Our device is officially supported for dualboot using the app Dualboot Patcher, it allows to dualboot multiple android version, example LineageOS and AOKP, unfortunately it doesnt allow Android 6.0 and 7.0 at same time due to changes in preloader. So im here to give a guide on how we can do this, it should work with any rom if its android 6 with android 6 or 7 with 7. If you like this guide you can donate to me here: https://www.paypal.me/RubenCraveiro
Any questions you might have please post below and ill be sure to try and help
Requirements:
Root and a version for dualboot.
/*Tested on: LineageOS with AOKP on 6.0 */
/* Stock Rom with Lineage on 6.0 */
So first thing you have to do is download the secondary rom of your choice, it needs to be a flashable zip, not a zip for sp flash tools.
After downloading the rom, download this apk: https://goo.gl/FBnJWG
After you installed the apk, open it go on ROMs tab and you should see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After granting root permissions you should see the above page, press the set now button to set kernel as default.
After doing that and having the secondary rom downloaded, follow the next steps on the next images to configure the flashable zip for dualbooting.
After choosing rom continue next image.
Patch the zip now, after zip is patched go back to ROMs page and follow the next images.
After selecting the patched zip, it will ask if you want to change location, keep it, a quick info is that, if you want to add google apps to dualbooted rom, you have to patch the gapps zip and set the location to the ID(android name) you previously made of the dualbooted rom, so that it doesnt install on primary rom and flashes to the secondary rom.
You should press the ✓ button after selecting patched zip and should start installing the rom.
After it flashes simply select the rom on ROMs page and reboot, to go back to primary rom simply install the app on secondary rom.
Quick info on device name error, if the app says it cant find device name "elephone" you need to change the build prop device name "elephone" to "p9000" (case sensitive) and do a reboot after to apply changes.
Known issues:
Rotating device or leaving in background while flashing causes app to crash when reentering the app.
Special Thanks to
@chenxiaolong for the awesome DualBootPatcher.
--- Roms that should work ---
Android 6 Dualboot with LineageOS 14.1;
LineageOS 13 with LineageOS 14.1;
AOKP6 with LineageOS 14.1/LineageOS 13;
RR 6.0 with Stock Rom(6.0) / LineageOS 13/14.1;
-- Does Not Work --
Android 6 with Android 7.0 (stock roms)
Android 7 with Lineage 13/14.1
Android 7 with AOKP 6/7
Reason to why some work and some dont is because, android stock roms on 7.0 have changes in preloader that makes older roms not dualboot, if such is attempted to do. LineageOS 14.1 is Android 7.1 but it is based on old preloader so it should work with any android 6 rom. AOKP 7 is based on LineageOS 14.1 sources so it is also based on old preloader and as such should also work with any android 6 rom + LineageOS 14.1.
If you have any questions or you are unsure about anything, just ask.
will try this with official 7.0 an Eragon 5, will tell you sooner or later

its only possible 6.0 with 6.0 roms and 7.0 7.0/7.1.. this is due to changes in preloader between version, and im not sire what are you talking about, an ios rom, if you talking about actual ios for an androod device, that doesnt even exist for any device.. and a skinned android i dont think it exists either, to our device at least..
Little Update: LineageOS 14.1 and AOKP 7 is based on old preloader so these work with any android 6 rom. Android Stock Rom 7.0 still does not work since its still based on a newer preloader. (This is just to help anyone that comes across this and doesnt get confused)

No you cant, unfortunatelly LOS14.1 is based on the older preloader so it only works android 6.0/AOKP6/AOKP7/RR + LOS14.1

You cant, if you want to update to android 7.0 you will need to update preloader, and cm14.1/aokp7 doesnt support the updated preloader, but android 6 with los14.1 should work
And how I downgrade from Android 7.0 to 6.0 if the preloader it's not the same????

download the stock android 6 rom and flash it to the device using spft, with all partitions checked, it should return to android 6 and also revert the preloader to an older version, and by the way, if for some reason the device doesnt boot, go on the lineage thread and download the preloader and the other images it provides and flash them, android 6 should be able to boot and you should also be able to just flash lineage through twrp

Do you think you can post a tutorial on how to install custom roms for this tablet? I've been trying to figure this out ever since I got one of these and I find it way too confusing. I want to get 5.1.1 up and running.

I just updated the thread, the tutorial is up.
I was able to successfully install some of these roms on my tablet. I was wondering what version of gapps should I download? I have a version of gapps from a different forum site that I've been using. Which version of gapps from their website would I use on the omnirom (5.1.1)?

I can help but first a need a bit of info.
What version of Android is your tablet on?
Is it rooted?
What did you get as your cpuid?
And also I think you have the wrong files because this guide doesn't use a500 flash tool. In the a500-bootloader-nvflash zip just click a501.bat and follow the instructions.
Thanks for fast response

sorry for late reply. ive been trying to do the rooting by using the ICS root blackthundr ONLY, and press the button at the bottom with check marks of what it is going to install, but the info at the bottom says "loading file info" and nothing is happening. usb debugging is on, and tab is on while on its homepage, so what i did i just click the button part to do the process, until it says done. but when i check the tablet nothing happened. no new apps was install. can we do a live chat, like in whatsapp or viber so i can also take photos of what im doing and what is going on, so you can track down everything?

Gapps for Omnirom 4.4.4
Hi, many thanks for gathering all here.
I've tried CM12, but found it unusable due to slowness.
Then I put Omnirom 4.4.4 which runs fine, but I'm having trouble with the gapps.
I tried OpenGapps ARM 4.4 pico, and my /data is formatted as f2fs, but Play is showing a black screen and play service stops all the time.
Which gapps version do you use ? I need a stable version.
Thank you
Acer A500

From what I've tested omnirom 5.1.1 seems to run a little better than cm 12 so you could try that. When you overclock it to about 1.5 GHz it runs pretty good. As for the Google play bug idk how to fix that I haven't tried KitKat on my device in a while.

Thing is i don't understand this
"Suggest you extract to the same folder you used for your adb files,
USBDeview will only work when you have previously plugged your tab into the PC WHILE
you were running HC Rom and BL"
specifically adb files ad i also didnt plug it in previously running those things
