Detailed instructions needed for downgrade from S219 to S208 - Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
I'm in using k4 note with s219 build. I have to stick with Jio Join app to make calls. I have read some posts and found that by downgrading we can avoid sticking with join app.
Here are the instructions,
1. Downloaded S152 and S208 builds from various resources.
2. Found sp flash tool and lenovousb drivers within S152 rar.
3. Open flash tool and click scatter log.
4. Choose scatter loading file from target_bin
5. Click on download
6. Turn off the phone and connect with pc
7. Now, successfully downgraded to S152 build.
8. Finally, turn on ur phone and paste the s208 build package (rename it as update.zip) in internal/sd storage.
9. Go to stock recovery by pressing volume rockers and power simultaneously.
10. Choose update from internal/sd card where u kept the files.
11. Tada...! We are done..
Thanks for all the developers.. I have spent lot of time to find these steps. Hope, someone like me make use of it.

Steps For Rooting Xperia Z1 C6902/C6903 14.5.A.0.242 Firmware
1. Downgrade to .108 / .157 Firmware and Root It
If you have already updated your smartphone to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, then you have to downgrade your device to KitKat OS and Root it.
Use this guide to Install .108 firmware.
Root using this guide.
Now Install XZ Dual Recovery.
Now phone is rooted, USB Debugging must be enabled.
Download latest installer for Xperia Z1 from here. (Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.10-RELEASE.installer.zip)
Connect phone to PC using OEM date cable and run install.bat.
It will install the custom recovery.
Now work here is done. Lets move on to next step.
2. Root and Install Recovery on Z1 C6902/C6903 5.0.2 Lollipop Firmware
Custom recovery was installed in the first step.
The pre-rooted firmware was created and copied to phone in next step.
Now you have to turn off phone.
Turn it on again and press volume up or down repeatedly to enter custom recovery.
Click on install and locate the folder where you placed the flashable zip earlier.
Tap on it and install it.
Now reboot the phone.
If phone is still connected to PC via USB cable, disconnect it.
Now go back to the .242 ftf you downloaded in second step and copy it to /flashtool/fimrwares
Open flashtool and click on lightning icon in the top left.
Click on it and click on flashmode.
Select the .242 firmware.
In the right bar, in the exclude options, exclude System only. It means that untick System only there. Leave every other options as it is (See the Picture).
While flashtool prepares the software for flashing, turn off your phone.
Keep the volume down button pressed and connect it to PC via USB cable.
The button must be pressed during it.
The phone will enter flashmode.
Flashtool will automatically detect it and start flashing.
After flashing phone will reboot and you will be done...
thanks to 'Hayder Ameen'.....

I think this guide for Unlockbootloader only.
You just copied and pasted the text from this page:

And you did that without all the instructions, without any links to the mentioned guides and without proof-reading it to make sure it made any sense...
Seriously...

4. wait until the update is complete

[Repository][XT907] Stock Firmware and Custom ROMs from 4.1.1 to 7.1 [SEPT 2017]

Hello! I spent a while researching and learning about my XT907. I absolutely love this phone and I am in love with Android 4.4, but I was also keen to try other versions. So I gathered everything you need to flash ANY Android custom ROM and or Stock Firmware to your XT907.
There are (or were. I'll explain below) several custom ROMs for this device, most of which were built for phones with a Jellybean 4.1 bootloader, IF it's unlocked. In the case of this device, if you didn't unlock it before June of 2014, then your bootloader is likely still locked which means you can't put any custom ROMs on it
There is still light at the end of the tunnel though. You can pay 'Sunshine S-Off' US$25 to unlock the bootloader for you. You can still be rooted to use their app, but if you have Xposed framework installed, you'll have to uninstall it first. They accept many different types of payment, including Bitcoin! However if you don't want to spend the money, the XT907 CAN BE ROOTED! Simply download and install the latest version of KingRoot then go here and follow the steps to replace it with SuperSU.
When it comes to restoring your firmware back to stock (in case you brick your phone), @sd_shadow and his list of phone saving tutorials is the place to go. If you want a custom ROM, see below
Over the last few years, it's become incredibly hard, almost impossible, to find everything you need to flash a custom ROM to your XT907, including the ROM itself. This becomes more the case with older versions of Android. Today, that has come to an end. I've spent the better part of a week or so gathering every single file you need to flash firmware or every custom ROM version from Android 4.1.2 to 7.1. Just go to the Google Drive link posted below, click/tap on XT907, and there you go. Everything is placed in it's own set of folders, with the exception of optional APKs. You can get detailed installation instructions at the respective links below.

[Tutorial] Flashing CM 12.1 custom ROM (Lollipop 5.1), SuperSU and Xposed Framework
***REQUIRES UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER***
If you don't want to downgrade your XT907 to a JBBL (Jellybean bootloader) then follow the tutorial below to flash the CyanogenMod 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1) custom ROM, SuperSU and install Xposed Framework onto your UNLOCKED XT907. This is for the KitKat BOOTLOADER ONLY.
WARNING: I am not responsible for any damage you may cause to your device and or other individuals. Use this guide AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1) Please download the appropriate folder labeled 5.1-Android-CM12.1-KKBL from my Google Drive link.
2) Make sure to have the appropriate Motorola and ADB drivers installed or this will not work.
3) Power off your phone.
4) Now press and hold, all at the same time, volume down + volume up + power button for 5 seconds. Release the power button first and 2 seconds later, release the volume buttons.
5) You should now be in your recovery screen. Use the volume down button to navigate to AP fastboot and press volume up to select it.
6) Now plug your phone into your PC. Make sure to have a good cable.
7) Now open the folder you just downloaded from Google Drive. Extract the file named TWRP-KKBL-XT907.zip to the same folder, or your desktop (whatever is easy for you).
8) Open the folder you just unzipped and place the file 'recovery.img' in the same folder as ADB.
9) Open an ADB command window (right click on your opened ADB folder and select 'open command window here') and type fastboot devices. This will show you if your device is properly connected. If you see a serial number and the word 'device' next to it, continue to the next step.
10) Now it's time to install a custom recovery. Type in the following code below. Make sure you placed the recovery.img into your ADB folder.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11) You will see about 3 lines of errors. Just ignore them. When the process is complete (you'll know it's done when you see something like C:\) type the following line below:
Code:
fastboot reboot
12) Please keep your phone plugged in. When it's finished rebooting, in the ADB window type:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
13) If all goes well, you should have TWRP custom recovery properly installed on your XT907. You will see a list of several things. Now we are going to flash CM 12.1 to your device. Keeping your phone plugged in, you should be able to freely move files while in TWRP recovery. On your desktop PC click: start > computer > XT907 > Double click internal storage. (NOTE: If you can't move files in recovery, reboot normally and place the files into your device's internal storage manually as described below).
14) Go back to the folder you downloaded earlier and copy the file labeled cm-12.1-20160822-NIGHTLY-xt907.zip. Paste it into the INTERNAL STORAGE of your device. DO NOT place it in any other folder or directory. Again go back to the folder you downloaded earlier and copy the file labeled open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20170830.zip. Also paste it into your phone's internal storage (the same place as the CM file).
15) Now on your phone, from TWRP recovery main screen, tap 'wipe'. Now look at the bottom where the arrows are. It should say 'swipe to factory reset.' Please swipe the button. When it's finished, go back to the TWRP home screen and tap 'install'. Navigate to where you placed the CM12.1 file and select it. Now tap 'Add more zips' on the screen near the bottom left. Navigate to the open_gaaps file and select it. Look at the top of the screen and it should say you have '2 of max of 10 files queued'. If so find the arrows at the bottom where it says 'swipe to confirm flash'. Go ahead and swipe it.
16) When the process is finished (it might take a minute or two), from the TWRP home screen, tap 'Reboot' and select 'System'. Your phone will reboot. The reboot process can and usually will take SEVERAL minutes to complete the first time. During the reboot process, DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE or attempt to reset it. Just let it go about it's business. In about 5-8 minutes you should have booted to your new custom CyanogenMod 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1). Go ahead and continue with the setup process.
Flashing SuperSU and installing Xposed Framework
1) When done with your general setup, navigate to the folder you downloaded from Google Drive earlier. Copy the file labeled SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip and paste it into the internal storage of your device (The same place as before). If you've been successful up to this point, you can delete the other zip files you added to your device earlier.
2) Use ADB to reboot to recovery. From TWRP home screen tap install and navigate to the SuperSU zip file you just added and select it. Now go down to the arrows at the bottom and please 'swipe to confirm flash'. When the steps have completed, go back to TWRP home screen and tap reboot then system. SuperSU (Super User) is now flashed to your system and you are now ROOTED. With Wifi on, you can go to the Google Play Store and download the updated SuperSU app. When installed, open it and it will ask you to update the binary. Please install using the 'normal' method. If successful, allow SuperSU to reboot your device.
3) If you would like to install the Xposed Framework onto your phone, you can follow the guide here. Also available at the link are the files to install Xposed. You can also use the ones I provided inside the folder you downloaded from Google Drive earlier. They are the same files as in the guide linked in this step.
If you have any trouble or if I missed a step, please post comments. Also post success stories so I know I did something good!

Upgrading to OREO (8.0.0) from CUSTOM ROM (Nougat 7.x.x) (already have TWRP)

Hi guys,
I tried to find a guide on how to do this coming from a custom rom but I couldn't so I'm posting what I think the process is and hopefully someone can tell me if this is correct. I just don't want to brick my phone so want to be absolutely sure the entire process is correct before I undertake this.
Coming from Custom rom means
1. Bootloader unlocked
2. Twrp already installed
Download Files
1. http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=mha-l29&firmware_page=0
2. Get the right 3 files for your phone, mine is C636 (rebranded from Chinese version) so i'll be getting: MHA-L29 8.0.0.360a(C636) files
3. Rename them to update.zip, update_data_public.zip, and update_all_hw.zip
Flash Update
1. Use Vol-Up + Power to boot into TWRP.
2. Create "HWOTA8" directory in MTP sdcard.
3. Put hwota8_update.zip, MHA_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img, and three huawei update package (update.zip, update_data_public.zip, and update_all_hw.zip) files into "HWOTA8" directory.
4. TWRP install sdcard hwota8_update.zip, it will reboot and install update automatically.
If I missed a step or something is wrong please let me know!
Thanks for the advice in advance guys!
Cheers,
Mike
Can I switch from 321 (C185log) to this update without opening boot loader or no
sorry i'm not sure because i'm actually posing the upgrade question

No, you need to use HWOTA, not HWOTA8.
HWOTA8 is only used if you are on Oreo already.
