[LP][MM] Lenovo K4 Note STOCK Roms (S152) (S232 volte)

Hi Guys!
This is not a "How to Flash Stock Rom Tutorial"
I made this thread because these ROMs are not easily available and people have to install a lot of OTA updates to get to them.
Keeping it short, this is a thread for latest stock ROMs for Lenovo K4 Note/Vibe X3 Lite (both Lollipop and Marshmallow) which is flashable via SP Flash Tool.
The last Lollipop Stock Rom is S152 and the Latest Marshmallow stock rom is S232 (supports VOLTE).
Previously, we have to flash old lollipop rom and then update it around 5 times via OTAs to get to the last lollipop version i.e S152 and then and only then we could update it to Marshmallow via an OTA and even after updating to MM we still needed to install around 5 OTA updates to get to the latest version of the ROM i.e currently S230 (as on 12 Dec 2016).
For ROOTING:
* Use Kingroot APK for Lollipop
* Use TWRP method by flashing SuperSu zip for Marshmallow (any version of MM)
"BOOTLOADER CAN BE EASILY UNLOCKED IN BOTH THE ROMS (same method)"

I had same issue, tried everything. Flashing via bootloader didn't work.
Flashing only stock recovery via SP tools sent my phone to boot loop. Had to flash whole rom again to get stock recovery.
Here is what I did.
Download S218 rom, flash all except cache & user data (This will preserve your data & apps, but root will be removed)
Download S219 from here, flash manually via stock recovery.
Update to S230 via OTA.
Root again with same procedure for MM.

Hi guys,
I lost nvram, lost the IMEI.
Got a nvram from internet, Works, but no VoLTE. I tried to change the IMEI using maui meta. It shows errors as nvram database is not for S232.
Can someone give me their nvram from S232(which has VoLTE) ? Don't worry, I'll change it to my IMEI number/ serial to the values in the box. I need my IMEI back.

Even works on cm14!
Bootloader + modem seems to work just fine on cm14.

Nice. I had flashed Resurrection Remix ROM a few days ago, but it wasn't stable. Rebooted several times when I tried to manually input a phone number in dialer. Also, it took far too long to boot. About twice as long as Stock. So now I am back to Stock, still rooted on 30D & I just got hit with an OTA update notification.
How is CM 14 doing for you in regards to heat issues, Bluetooth connectivity and camera quality?

I don't use my g3 for daily use so I can't tell you about what issues. The Bluetooth seems to work, but I haven't tested it totally yet. I need to update the g3 vendor and configs to 30e and make sure nothing is broken.

From where do I download the SU.zip file?

Working so far! Thank You!

Hi and thanks for the uploads! My questions is, if I'm already on stock 30D what files do I need to flash in order to only update. Or do I need to flash the complete 1.1GB package? Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Just flashed it. In the Software Version it still displays D85130d. Is it something I missed?

Used TWRP to dirty flash Complete, Boot Repack, and latest SU from the link in post 1 of the 30d thread, in that order, on a phone with 30d rooted, and everything seems to be working correctly. Still rooted, showing 30e in software version.

tha's because you didn't want to flash the whole rom. You're bootloader and modem are on 30E, but you're still using the 30D rom.

Ok, I understand what I did and thank you for the explanation. I'm kinda of a noob when it comes to ROMs and for a moment I thought this was the OTA from D to E but breakdown into separate files. Guess I have to flash the ROM compelety. Again, thanks for all the work to do!

Did it boot up normally, or did you have to go through the process of setting up a new phone? (enter email, restore apps, etc) Thanks.

So this only changes the software version. I'm on
D85130D, is there anything different in this ROM.??
Another question. If I only want to run the stock without root what do I flash.

Yes. Dirty flash (just cleared cache and dalvik, but not data or full wipe) preserved all settings. Took a couple of minute to boot and update apps, but everything was preserved. Only dirty flash if you are coming from stock or rooted stock, not from any other rom.

Dirty Flashed using TWRP 3.0 over 30D (Rooted+Stock) by clearing Dalvik and Cache.
* First boot took a while.. roughly 20-25 minutes for Optimizing App (as I have around 250 Apps)
* Took 23% of my battery (flashing to first boot -- Surprised!)
* Ubuntu 16 no longer detecting phone (no charging or MTP) was working fine before update
* Lost Root Access -- SuperSU no longer works.. says SU Binary not installed (was working before)
* Tried KingRoot 4.8.2 for temp root , NO LUCK! (root is gone)
* Rebooted - Ubuntu is detecting the phone now
* Bloatware are back
googled .. couldn't find any root method for this update.
Anyone has info.. how to root 30E?
---------- Post added at 06:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------
UPDATE
=======
Battery's dropping FAST!!! (from 77% to 66% in few minutes of standby)
UPDATE 2
========
Flashed Boot Repack, and latest SU .. ROOT is back!
Battery Draining FAST!
This one is a working method 30E+ROOT+TWRP.
Thanks

Working fine so far. Thanks a lot!

Worked for me too. Thanks.
BTW, I did the dirty flash option. and followed danam's post.

So for clarity, I just want to make sure I'm doing this right if someone can chime in. I currently have a D851 with Lollipop 5.0 CloudyG3 2.5 rom unrooted with TWRP recovery. If i wanted to upgrade to 30E KDZ, i have to do the following:
1. upgrade to 30e kdz firmware using LG Flash Tool
2. use twrp to flash the complete flashable zip
thats all I have to do?

If you flash the KDZ, it'll erase TWRP and you won't be able to get root.

Root is working only for apps. System is still read only since kernel is not fully patched yet. Anyway system is writable in Twrp if you want to modify it.

[Help me!] My Zenfone 2 always brick when I try to install a ROM

Hey! I have a Zenfone 2 ZE551ML (Z00A) which always brick when I try installing a new rom. The first time I tried installing RR and so, I downgraded to Lollipop so that could use Asus official tool to unlock my bootloader, then I flashed a TWRP recovery (I'll post the file here) through fastboot and booted to recovery mode. I used the TWRP recovery to then install ASUS rom for Android 6.0 (because the RR thread says I must have Android 6 previously installed) then I restarted and.... got bricked. To unbrick, I used this tutorial from here (one that teached me how to use xFSTK and fastboot to bring my phone back to life) and then unlocked the bootloader and flashed the TWRP recovery, did the update to 6.0 then when I tried to flash RR TWRP says I can't install it (I got error 7) the I reboot and got bricked again. Can someone here please help me?

There's a lot going on here. You need to spend some time reading through the threads. Basically, you can't flash the official asus rom with twrp. It requires stock recovery. And you need to be sure to have the correct bootloader for the custom rom you are installing. Basically, Lollipop roms based on stock rom and Cm13 based roms need Lollipop bootloader. Marshmallow roms based on stock mm rom and LinOS 14.1 based roms need the Marshmallow bootloader. That's where your error 7 was coming from.
Again, read the first post of the Rom you want to install carefully. It should tell you what you need.

The RR rom tells me I need Android 6 but the Official way to unlock the bootloader doesn't work with Android 6. How am I supposed to unlock it? If it helps, here is the link to rom I'm trying to install: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/rom-resurrection-remix-m-5-8-0-t3507247.

Like I said, you need to read through the threads. Go to the resources and the index threads in the general section. And look at the first posts there. Also find the modder tool thread. It's a very useful multipurpose tool for all kinds of things.

[ROM/FW][STOCK][PIE] LG V30 (Joan) US998 30b TWRP flashable firmware ROM

LG V30 US998-30b ROM​Hi!
This Rom is 99% Stock. 3.2.3-7 TWRP should first be installed. Then you can install this Rom and have Pie with working TWRP.
WARNINGS!!!!!
Only for North American variants -- EXCEPT T-mobile H932. NOT for H930, H930G, H930D, H930DS!
This zip is created from the original KDZ. It contains almost the complete 30b firmware, but the partition table rewriting part and recovery image is removed. I changed the system.img, so you do not have to reinstall TWRP (recovery-from-boot.p deleted) when ROM is booted. I also changed the partition size of system.img, so the vendorized people can install this too without having problems because of a too small system partition. This is a continuation of westwood24's idea and work, I've updated it to the newest fw version and edited / advanced it a bit. I followed his idea and made this for users who can not take OTA's because they have Custom Recovery / Root installed.
​
Features
Stock build made from official KDZ
Stock Build.prop (only 2 extra lines added for DTS, full weather lockscreen)
Unrooted
System image modified to keep TWRP
System image size shrunk for being able to flash this on a smaller system partition, mainly caused by vendorizing
Removed dm-verity
Removed rctd (LG's root checker tool daemon)
Enabled opt-encrypt, it's your choice now if you want to encrypt your phone, it's no more forced. TWRP now is capable of decryption (both AOSP and stock) since a few versions
Installation
What you need
Unlocked Bootloader [How to do]
Working TWRP installed (should be installed already, otherwise you wouldn't need this zip )[Link to newest unofficial TWRP]
When you need Root, Latest Magisk [Download]

How to install
When you are still on Nougat,
you should start fresh: Reboot to recovery using button combo or reboot app (needs root; btw, Magisk offers this possibility too: Menu -> Modules -> three dot menu top right - Reboot to recovery)
Then flash this TWRP.img via image flashing function in TWRP, reboot to recovery again (for fully working new recovery) and do a backup, then copy this backup to your PC.
Then initiate a factory reset. Wipe your system partition too in TWRP advanced wiping menu, copy the 30b firmware zip to your SD and install it. Reboot and enjoy
From Oreo:
For clean install: Factory reset and wipe system
You can also keep your data by simply dirty flashing the zip. *Be aware that problems may occur, maybe you need to do a factory reset to start fresh*
Flash the 30b zip, then Magisk zip when you need root, then reboot to System = you're DONE
P.S.: could be, that you first need to boot up your fresh install and set it up before you can flash magisk.
At the first time you boot to system, it can be TWRP says No OS installed. You can ignore it.
If TWRP asks if you want to install SU, hit no (in newest TWRP SU is disabled, and the option to install the TWRP app is disabled too.)​

Wow, that was quick. Thank you very much for all your efforts!

Thank you so much for your flashable zip to stock pie! Before i installed Android 10 and lost my sensors, camera and download mode, but because of your ROM i installed it through TWRP and everything started to work fine. Thank you again, you saved my phone!

The first part of "How to install" in the OP describes a clean flash. It's wiping the phone clean.
