Hey everyone
I recently got my hands on the lenovo z6 lite.
Now, the phone runs perfectly. However this phone is, as far as I know, only available in china and the rom only available in english and chinese.
My phone however came with a custom/global (?) rom which the seller flashed. I can also choose my own language, german.
On aliexpress they said its the official GLOBAL rom by lenovo. Appereantly the z6 lite to be called k10 note (under settings this is my device name) outside of china when its released.
Still, my goal is to install the original chinese Rom. Simply because I can choose settings for hdr10 and dolby. Its working on my rom but I cant change settings.
I managed to unlock bootloader and install recovery without problems, but im unable to flash the original rom.
I always get "Download Fail: Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Fail: Process Fail"

I basically tried all three roms which I found here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/lenovo/l38111/
Choosing the programmer path I can choose between "prog_firehose_ddr" and "prog_firehose_lite" (log: https://notepad.pw/share/ep1l3ji3j)
I tried both and everything. The error is still the same.

Anyone know what to do?

btw I followed this tutorial, which isnt really helpful anyway: https://boycracked.com/2019/06/27/offici...stock-rom/

...

ensure to select the firehorse programmer file from within the firmware folder

OR you can also try flashing using miracle thunder @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-25473.html
load the firehorse programmer file from the firmware into miracle thunder using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-28594.html

..

How many different versions of QFIL (in QPST) have you tried?
You can follow https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-22466.html

The Sahara fail could be due to the programmer (firmware) you're using or tool version. Share recovery.img from the firmware.
Try backup using https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-25473.html
You could try manually loading the programmer file from the firmware if the tool's auto option fails

Sorry been busy all week.

The rom that was installed somehow even had gps problems. It found satelites but never used them.

I've tried now today X3non's advice using miracle thunder  and voila, it worked flawlessly.

I simply chose "flashing" and then under programmer I had to choose to show all files, because it couldnt find a firehose programmer file.

The file I have ends with .elf. Still, choosing show all files and selecting the programmer and the whole rest it installed without doing any problems.



Thanks to you guys!

edit: Damn the gps is still not working. it finds literally nothing. Any ideas?

You'll need to create a new thread
