    Hi I have installed the ROM prepared by Daniel_H_k on Lenovo K3 Note 50a40 using TWRP 3.# Custom Recovery, everything seems to be working alright. In India the Airtel SIM and Jio Sim were used, Jio sim takes time to register, VOLTE not available. also SMSC has to be fed manually (Which should not be the case). Its only 1 Days since installation. Will keep updated. Installed Gapps Pico 64 bit version. Seems to be working alright. Thank You so much. Looking forward for later releases with VOLTE support.

    The only issue for me is being unable to use double-tap to wake. Could you please check this out? Thank you and great job!!

    Ok, so I installed RENICE V6 custom kernel and that got it done. Amazing.

    Thanks for the information. Looks like the kernel image on the Lineage ROM is missing with double tap to wake functionality.

    Hi

    I flashed the daniel_hk Lineage 14.1 rom and I have found that after installing and enabling a substratum there will be different issues that prevent the phone from working correctly.

    After enabling one theme the phone will reboot whenever root access is used and with another the System UI stops responding.

    I tried re flashing but this had no effect.

    I was trying to install ‘lineage-14.1-20170312-UNOFFICIAL-aio_otfp.zip’ from Daniel_hk and it gave an error ‘E3004: This package is for device: K50-t5,aoi_otfp, aoi_otfp_m,K3Note; this device is K50’. What should I do? Which ROM should I use for ‘K50’?
    Note: under ‘Settings > About Phone > Device Information’ it says ‘Model number’ is K50a40.

    I believe it’s just the assert() in the updater_script in the ROM which is causing this failure. It is risky to do so, but you can remove the assert() code from the updater_script of the ROM and flash the ROM.

    Why is it risky to do so?

    The ROM might be built only for the device codenames mentioned in assert() file and there by removing the assert() code you are allowing to flash this ROM in any phone. Yes, you read it right, in any phone. If it is not meant for your phone, then IT MAY BE BRICKED permanently. So, TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    Yes, there is an assert in updater script and I could have modified it to allow installation on K50. But I knew its risky. That’s why I didn’t do it :)

    My point was
    1. why does it show the device codename as K50 (this is just for my understanding)? As I’ve read somewhere that K50a40 gets changed to K50-t5 when stock ROM gets updated to MM. But could not find any info related to K50.

    2. My main question was: Which ROM should I use for ‘K50’?
    Any idea?

    See the /system/build.prop file for more info about the ROM build that you are going to flash in your phone. If you are confident about the build based on the build.prop info then it should be fine to modify the updater-script file to remove the assert.

    As long as you have a NANDROID backup which can always take you to the last working state, it should be fine too.

    It’s for the users I write these disclaimers, because I never know how much knowledgeable they are to get the device back to work even after a soft-brick. In my own devices I don’t think much while doing these minor things, because I always know as long as my custom recovery is working I can get the device to working state.
