The Lenovo K8 Note is a mid-range device from Lenovo (which was released along the Lenovo K8 plus and Lenovo K8 ), which looks like to be an absolute steal for the money. Couldn't find much about it here on XDA, so decided it was time for a general thread until it gets it's own section on XDA.

After flashing this, when I reboot to recovery, all I get is a black screen, but when I touch the screen and the nav buttons, it vibrates. I'm guessing the recovery is working but we aren't getting any display. ;-;

So i tried this, waited 30 sec, same black screen nothing more. But, when I waited for one minute, a random twrp screen appeared, and then disappeared. (screenshot below). And then again black screen. Also, this twrp screen was upside down for some reason.

Might be some bug since it has been ported from another device. If you can access the TWRP then cancel when it asks you to enter password and then go to wipe and format data

What silly you are talking.The phone is not getting slow at all.
Marshmallow has many feature such as Doze for better battery,good ram management and many more.
You should know that motoG (2nd gen) which has only1 GB ram and 1.2 GHz quadcore processor had received marshmallow. Now you can compare yourself.
if MM will make phone slow so why lenovo released it.

Just got this phone after some years off android and I find myself being confused by so many terms. Would love to start flashing roms like I did 5yrs ago.
Can I know the process to follow? (already unlocked my bootloader)
Thanks in advance

you can use xiaomi tool kit (search on google) to flash any custom recovery. then flash a good rom (currently miui 10 is best for me.) flash magisk if you want root stuffs or go with flashing lazy flasher after miui rom. reboot, done!

I've done the installation through orange fox and that issue didn't persisted anymore so, you could try that too.

I have downloaded miui 10 global fastboot rom. What is orange fox? I already unlocked bootloader..
Hi @ridersam
Need some advices from you. I am interested in installing Custom Rom on my Redmi 5 Plus. The one I am referring to is Android P Vince (already got hold of the step by step instructions). My concerns :-
1. Waiting to unlock my bootloader in the next few days (Redmi 5 Plus) with root too and to install Red Wolf Recovery (fastboot to install the standard twrp). The default is OrangeFox-R6-Beta-vince.zip recovery
2. From standard twrp to flash Red Wolf Recovery instead of OrangeFox recovery. Can I do that?
3. Going to install Android P Vince custom rom in Redmi 5 Plus (serial of steps instruction from the devs). Done and reboot as my daily driver.
4. Can this Red Wolf Recovery be used like normal twrp recovery for other custom rom or backup and/or restore not only Redmi 5 Plus?
5. Through fastboot I can also install Red Wolf Recovery, right! Do I have to rename the file like recover.img rather the actual name RedWolf-Unofficial-vince-2.img? Another method to install recovery.
Thank you
I have a question
Does the aosp ROMs, pixel experience and such are using the open sources of Vince that Xiaomi released months ago?

Thank you so much!
Last question: Can I use this Redwolf Recovery on any other smartphones like Samsung Note 3, Asus, Sony, Nexus, Huawei, etc for my recovery purposes?

Any substratum theme to change the 4 Row Quick Toggle to 5 or 6?

No issues. I got it
[ASK] [MIUI 10] Install unknown sources apk
I've installed MIUI 10 via updater app today, following a factory reset from MIUI 9.6.4. I didn't use fastboot method bcs I'm just lazy lol.
Today i tried installing Sony Music App apk which I had on my previous MIUI.
After finished installing, the screen says "App not installed"
Any idea how to work around this? The install permission setting of unknown sources is confusing as you need to allow each app you would like to open apk from. And no, this is not because screen filter app which restricts you from pressing the install button, I don't use such app and i get to press the install button.
Then i tried enabling it from all my file explorer app, even manually enabling the PackageInstaller system app to install from unknown sources. The problem persisted so i try downloading other apk from another mirror site, and nothing is working.
I'm currently on the 8.8 update of MIUI 10.
Help appreciated.

GSIs

Hi,
Has anyone been successful in flashing the Android 10 GSI? Especially if you are using the Chinese RN8. Would like to hear how you've done it.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Managed to do it using resources from the Redmi Note 8 Discussions Telegram Channel. Just do a search for it and you'd likely find it.
Currently running PE Android 10 Unofficial. Some bugs but as this is a secondary phone not a big deal to me.
Same question here. I can see in phhusson's Github documentation that Redmi Note 8 is one of the devices which has successfully booted his AOSP GSI and I can't see any indepth guide and discussion on how it can be done here in XDA.
Some do claim that they were able to run it while here I am trying to make it work with no success. Be it AOSP 9 GSI or 10 it just won't work at all. I followed the GSI installation tutorial for the Mi 8 here with the same old results. The Redmi logo just keeps on bootlooping after following all instructions.
If there's anyone who were really able to boot these GSIs to their Ginkgos, do leave a reply here on what worked for you so that we can also give it a try. Much appreciated.
Hey,
I've try to flash GSI (phh-treble 10 V208) But the phone direct reboot in TWRP after that.... I wipe everything except vendor and flash gsi throught system but nothing work...
Also I have 8T (Willow) but it should works the same as Ginko... Any helps ?
I'm still waiting to get my ginkgo, but I found this, could it help?

Thanks man. I'm miles away from the scene hence why I'm safe.
Going back, I still can't figure out how to make those GSIs work. I'll ask those on the Telegram group where that link originated from so that I can check whether someone was really able to make it work.
Good idea, I'm checking it too. Just got my RN8, and once I get back home I'll unlock it and give it a try.
Important! On this device run only Arm64 AB gsi rom!!!

Vendor and kernel to flash gsi.
Giving a bump here as I've managed to do this. See OP for info.
