failed at which part ?

Can AP set install the ROM from ROW version?
Does the modem compatible?

it is the same procedure as sitescope mention before. here are the steps in brief:

PART A - preparation
1. install & verify all the required drivers. can refer here
2. get the rom & extract the .7z file. download the rom here
3. get spftool and extract the zip file. download spftool here
4. optional - backup app via titanium backup and/or do a backup in recovery. save to external sd card

PART B - flashing
1. open spftool. go to option > download > da dl all with checksum > check all the 2 boxes (i have no idea what is this)
2. click scatter loading > select MT6752_Android_scatter.txt from \K50a40_S112_150610_ROW\target_bin\
3. click download
4. switch off phone. remove sim & sd card
5. connect phone to pc. spftool will start flashing
6. flashing successful when the green circle pops up
7. disconnect phone. switch on the phone and complete the initial set up & update

if you have no intention to root, enjoy the new rom!

PART C - rooting
1. get twrp recovery and extract the .rar file. download here
2. get supersu .zip file, save to phone. download here
3. open spftool. click scatter loading > select MT6752_Android_scatter.txt from \K3_Note_TWRP\
4. click download
5. switch off phone. remove sim & sd card
6. connect phone to pc. spftool will start flashing
7. flashing successful when the green circle pops up
8. disconnect phone. DO NOT POWER ON. enter recovery (vol up + vol down + power)
9. install supersu .zip file
10. reboot system and verify supersu app is properly installed

PART D - restore
1. if you are still reading, i don't think you understand why you need root...
2. install titanium backup and ehem*lucky patcher*ehem and you know the drill, or perhaps you might want to restore data from recovery

so that's it. let me know if i miss anything

nice to know it works for you. oh did you do the ####682# code (change region)? the phone will restart with welcome screen default to bm. i'm not sure how this impact the phone.

Yup, just did it, the device will update again. I think u are right, is region setting. Now my K3N is Malaysia set already
Double tap ON screen still available but double tap OFF screen dont have. I cant find the setting
Good news is Whatsapp notification led is working and same to other apps also.

How about +6 numbers ? Contact able to recognize ?

Yes...
Btw, there's no ORI frm lenovo msia set as of to date. All are AP.

No issue.

Yup, malaysia set is all AP set. And this indian rom works like Original Malaysia rom like other phones like Samsung, Xiaomi etc...

http://www.smartprix.com/mobiles/lenovo_k3...110121v4zl7.php

But still on KitKKat

For me i will go for new model

Agree, me also if buy new phone sure go for new model.

then go for k3note...

good... strong reason to flash row rom tonight...

Noted Tq

Kit Kat still ok imo, then again lolipop have their own pro XD

Noted, SOT on 3g or LTE mode any idea? 4-6 hours?

K3 Note can do that...My K3N with 4G+Wifi can get 4 hours on China rom. Upgraded to India rom yesterday night.....SOT 2 hours and 50min....still got 45% battery left. And with light gaming also. Will keep testing it.

Good, more less what I get with zen2 550ml (after root of coz)

Thank you for sharing

Here is a short review on this India Rom after use for 1 day
- Battery not much different with China rom
- Camera v4.1....nice but slightly slower than China rom when snapping photo
- Camera GUI improved
- Secondary camera improved but no more age detection.


- Double tap for off screen not available on this version. Only got double tap for on screen.
- Not all apps can transfer to External SDCard. China rom can transfer all google apps to External SDCard.
- For gaming........smooth but China rom slightly smoother

- +60 no issue
- Loaded with gapps and no 3 party apps on it. Original calendar also using google calendar.
- Touchscreen sensitivity improved
- Support multilanguage
- Guess mode & Secure Zone [new feature]
- If can get K3N Teanna edition back battery cover.....it can enable ceramic speaker mode. China rom also got this feature.
- Notification panel looks better and more features on it.
- Notification center no issue....china rom notification center buggy, got issue when set notification for apps on SDcard.
- Auto run features improved
- Notification Led is working on Whatsapp and other apps
- Call/sms for sim1 and sim 2 can set as default.....no need to choose which sim card when want to make call or sms.


Thats all i can remember
Will add in if i found something........


This rom is awesome and the phone also awesome for price below RM600.



P/S: Thanks to uan for the flashing steps
