For Fingerprint, go to SETTINGS > SECURITY and then there you will find fingerprint scanner. If you’re talking about hardware issue then do a factory reset which will solve the data connection problem as well.

how to get or update lenovo k4 note Marshmallow Android 6.0 from build number S202 to s322??
HI .
i want oto rollback from 6.0 to 5.1. (s209 to s152)
i cant find official stockrom of k4 note.
my previous version is (A7010a48_S152_160302_ROW).
could you please help me.
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8HRL/6diKxebcp
you also can do one thing that just go to any nearest lenovo store and ask them to update your device without saying them that you have updated into marshmallow.
The service center engineer will automatically degrade the same without saying anything.
i tried to upgrade to marshmello.. but my phone is stuck at “android is starting… starting app” i dont seem to have any means o restarting as the battery is non removable.. plz help.. its urgent..
if i happen to screw up my phone while updating or after updating and want to revert back.. what should i do?
Better to wait marshmallow update in india instead of force ROM update. This marshmallow ROM has lots of bug. Like atom sound not working, google services stopped, proximity sensor isn’t working properly, fingerprint sensor not working sometime, etc etc . so I decided back to lollipop.
Fingerprint sensor is working pretty well, I didn’t face any problem so far.
What is your phone
Is it official update , will I get other new updates from lenovo after flashing
After flashing this ROM.. After usage of 3-4 hours the device is restarting without any action.. Restarted 4-5 times continuously then I don’t a factory reset then Its normal.. How to solve this? Bug?
You did the factory reset?
Yes I did from then it’s fine but not sure … I’m afraid that the problem would occur again
My device is not detected by the flash tool. it asks for MT6753 and my device shows up as MT65xx
how do i install my original lolipop back?
Flash the Lollipop stock rom using SP Flash Tools.
What’s the space took by os in marshmallow rom?
Hi Guys,
The marshmallow firmware posted here(s200) is quite outdated. Update to s202 to experience a better rom with less bugs. I guess there is also a later version released. However im using s202 as my daily driver now. Just waiting for someone to post rooting procedure to get the device rooted.
Nasib,
I second you, have faced all these issues, so flashed s147 rom and updated upto 2152. Shall wait for OTA update i guess.
One more bug I noticed is that auto Rotate is not working. The icon on the notification settings is not usable, have to manually go to display in settings. Most frustrating is loss of audio after earphones.
Hi All,
I’ve updated my mobile a week ago and I am a technical person so as per me there are some bugs like:
1. Major problem i’ve faced with sound as while listening the songs in earplugs after removing the earplugs the output of sound stopped from the speakers and for that I’ve to restart the mobile and only for this problem i want to fixed up so please if anyone can then please let me know.
2. Google play services stopped working error while opening the messaging app.
3.Some apps stop working cause of permission. It’s a good and also a very bad thing. Good is that google made it internally but in vibe ui it was there as an separate icon in settings but now you have to find it in app settings.
4. The battery backup was slightly better in Lollipop.
5. Also charging was slightly better in Lollipop.
6 The another major thing is about storage as in Lollipop in storage there was an option for storing the apps and date in outer storage but in marshmallow it is not there for that you have to make the sd card as an internal storage that is good and bad also. Good is like that you can make it as internal storage but bad thing is that you can’t use that sd card in other transfers directly from pc or anything.
7. You can’t move the data from internal storage to usb and also from usb otg to internal that is very big mistake as per me.
1. The ui in marshmallow is very good and smooth. I like it very much.
2. Performance is good.
3. No lags while performing anything.
where is fingerprint scanner ? after this update?
Settings>Security>Fingerprint
Fingerprint option is not there under Settings>Security after the update.
Works for me completely… in case of any bug, again go into recovery and flash it.. its in chinese so choose the
2nd option and then again click the second option .
this time, it will show update succeeded ! :D
I think it is not official released. ROM is still in testing phase, it has Whats-app bug, Bluetooth bugs and Ram Usage
Saw the user reviews
The ROM update causes lags???
Is it true???
My version is S153 not S152 update was failed in S153
I am already on S153 what i have to do
Download the Marshmallow rom and update it using stock recovery.
is it working properly without any bugs????
Yes it is working absolutely fine.
