I have a VIBEZ K910 with locked bootloader after upgrading to version 4.4.2. Now it's bricked. Cannot enter test mode with the combination Volumn - and Power button. I think the droidboot.img is damaged. Cannot enter recovery either. Anybody can help me unbrick the phone? Pls:crying:
Sorry to hear about your bricked phone. I can't help specifically as I don't have a Lenovo, but having a search around XDA there seems to have been some success reported in the following thread:

See this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52013378&postcount=412
Another post in that thread suggests:
Turn off the phone --> Run minimal ABD and fastboot as admin--> just write the command for recovery install (don't hit enter yet)--> press volume + and volume - button and connect the phone to pc via usb--> now hit enter and voila. Your phone will boot in recovery.

OK, but did you look at the second link there, to the specific post in that thread? It suggests a process for locked bootloader, which is why I thought it might help...
Anyhoo, I hope you manage to get it fixed somehow!
Is anybody have the droidboot.img file from the VibeZ K910 dualsim, pls upload it for me. i cannot find it anywhere.
I look into the second link as well. that method for user have a working phone but locked bootloader and want to downgrade.
Ah, OK. Sorry I couldn't help.

lenovo k910e 4.2.2 bricked after TWRP for 4.4.2 installation
Hi , this is my first time on the site , so forgive me if ive posted this in the wrong place.
I briked my Lenovo k910e running 4.2.2 rom with google apps purchased off Aliexpress.
What i did was run the flashrec.exe file for TWRP , but not until too late did i realise it was for 4.4.2 instead of 4.2.2.
Now i cannot boot the phone , TWRP was successfully installed and operational , but after about 20 reboots TWRP flash screen is stuck on the TeamWin logo and not accessable.
Ive tried mostl sugestions on this site and others without luck.
I can get the phone recognised with fastboot only after these commands ;
cd downloads
cd fastboot
adb devices
and it seems i may be able to push files to my device.
Is there a working link to the k910 OEM rom k910_ss_s_2_040_0109_131226 someone could direct me to.
All the links i have found so far are corrupted. Is there a way of repairing the TWRP recovery i have in the phone now.
Am I correct in assuming I have to install the OEM factory 4.2.2 ROM to wipe TWRP and istal Lenovo recovery ?.
Any help would be so appreciated. Thanks
Solution ( k910 bricked )
Ok here is the solution even if your device ( k910 dual sim ) is completely bricked as was mine.
I was stuck in Lenovo logo with no success in finding right and working drivers ( windows 7 64x ) and i was not able to to get in recovery official ...everything was just - somehow - deleted...
I had locked bootloader **** and was not be able to flash cmw in working mode ****
There was nothing for me that could recover my phone even if the "hard" way with QPST or miflash etc
So....after 3 days....find this solution and hope this will help you because it is soooooooooo easy finally!
Steps:
1) Download lenovo driver ( i think it is useless in fact but ok....just run it you dont have anything more to loose )
https://www.dropbox.com/s/frbpz16udrefoit/LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.112.exe?dl=0
2a) Download and install Minimal adb
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uvngsu4vz4hvsky/minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe?dl=0
So now you have to use the right recovery image ( this file has to be inside minimal adb folder )....so here it is:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ge05m1fe8n4qgb1/recovery.img?dl=0
2b)
Download this ROM ( this worked for me - with other i did try i did get an error )
http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-k910-vibeui-2-0/
prefer the last updated version ( 1501 )
Put this rom in the same ADB folder and renale zip in VIBE1411.ZIP ( in order to be easier later )
3) Turn off the device open Adb and write : fastboot boot recovery.img ( to have it ready )
4) Push volume + $ volume - at the same time and AFTER connect with usb to your pc - At the time the device will vibrate HIT ENTER in ADB
This will flash the recovery and after 1 minute device will open in a recovery screen with an adb update option ***
SELECT THIS adb update OPTION !
Your device kow it is ready to flash the new rom ! ( you will realize that everything is right from many usb beeps you will hear )
5)In adb console write : adb sideload VIBE1411.ZIP
This will take a little ....after that your device will reboot ! Dont panic if for a few minutes it will stuck in lenovo logo....
IT IS NORMAL AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT!
Hope this will help you.....please feel free to tell me if this worked for you.

Boot into recovery under bricked condition
Today I bricked K910 after reinstalling GMS apk.
The phone hanged at boot logo.
Nothing can be from here.
I decided to take this risk.
I removed the back cover and disconnected the battery terminal.
After that I plugged back the terminal.
Several tries by power button and volume down to get into the recovery mode. All failed.
Each time it hanged at boot logo.
I have to redo the battery terminal unplug sequence again.
This is correct method to get into recovery mode.
Press power button and volume down till the Lenovo logo appears.
Move the power button finger to the position of the " Home " of the touchscreen position.
Hold till the recovery menu appears. Choose factory reset to erase the phone.
There was two lit small icon below. Make your choice.
The phone will be erased by reset.
Reboot after the process.
I solved my phone bricked problem.
Hope the method will solve your problem.
Good day to all K910 users.
my vibe z cannot access the recovery mode (PWR + VLM DOWN), it only vibrate. If turn on only stuck at Logo. Please help .
Hello,
Just yesterday I got my Elephone p5000
I have been setting up applications and so on. I have installed xposed and installed one hand module. It worked OK.
Later I was trying to setup google authenticator and the device just hang and rebooted.
And it went into bootloop.
I can't go to recovery mode: VolumeUP+Home+Power-> Recovery mode just starts another bootloop.
So I tried to flash an official rom from with sp flash tool SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1504.00.000.
It works OK and completes with green indicator. But I still have the same bootloop.
I tried to flash custom recovery tool: TWRP_Recovery_2850_P5000 it also flashes successfully but no use of doing that. Nothing happens.
I have formatted the device along with bootloader with sp flash tool and flashed with official rom. No use.
The device goes into fastboot mode. I tried to flash TWRP recovery.img with help of fastboot but it gives an error:
FAILED (remote:
partition 'recovery' not support flash)
So far I tried all these things.
I am a newbie in flashing and using android devices. I have been using iphone so far. So sorry if I used wrong terms.
FYI:
The battery cannot be taken from the device. I am clicking on reset button on the back of device to switch it off.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
An MTK device is very hard to "brick" IF you happen to have the the firmware in SpFlashTool format - there is one on "needrom.com" and use the SpFlashTool v5.11452 or better (so far that is the latest for Octa Core 64bit). I specialises in modding MTK centric ROM , I know what I am saying. If bootloop it probably (guessing only) the TWRP version is not suitable for P5000 , there is always CWM to fall back(try searching on MIUI site).
Although I know a lot of users like to use Xposed but I never ever put any Xposed modules in my mod ROM , I want a working ROM for my users to enjoy their devices. I stayed away from Xposed bcoz I had seen some bad after effect , even after uninstalling the modules there are some stray files left behind. Good luck.
I tried to install a new rom(cynogenmod 11 from xda forums) in my lenovo a6000 which i god a day before on my birthday. it had lollipop os and i installed TWRP recovery in it. but the instructions for installing rom said to clear data. dalvik, cache before installing and the twrp cleared cache and delvik cache but then it had been over 5 min and it still stated -"formatting data by mounting(bla... bla...) method". so i just reboot the phone by removing the battery and booted in the recovery again. i tried to clear them again but this time all of those three stated mounting problems while clearing. i went on installing the rom but it stuck too stating only these lines:-
1>no md5 checksum found.
2>skipping md5 checksum(bla.. bla...).
so i did the same mistake again and removed the battery to reboot but now it just shows the lenovo logo on bootup and nothing happens thereafter except frequent restarts. i tried to connect it to pc to load recovery via minimal adb and fastboot but the phone is just charging itself via usb cable and not connecting to the pc no matter i reinsert the battery.
i dont want to reach the service center or my dad will kill me for damaging a new phone. please if anyone can help then reply soon or i am gonna screwed.
Just press volume - & power key same time , now your phone is in boot loader mode now connect USB & flash twrp recovery through minimal adb method & restore your backup

To be continued
Oh I somehow figures it out, I pressed all the keys I.e. volumeup + volumedown + power key even after the Lenovo powered by android logo and it suddenly booted into recovery. This method worked in my bq s37 I didnt expected it in this case. BTW thanks for your support and can u please help in in a new case related to same. The twrp recovery for a6000 lollipop is not installing cm11 properly. Every time I install using the same method as mentioned in a post of XDA. After installation it stops on the same screen:- Lenovo (powered by android) and after that no reboot just that screen forever till the battery dies. I even tried cleaning /system before installing cm11 ROM but still no progress. Please help!
You cannot install cm11 on top of stock Lollipop rom
Revert it back to kitkat flash recovery Then install cm11
Get it of one problem and the other awaits. Now when installing KitKat rom (the official one from techotally) it said unable to mount /data. I followed some tutorial which asked to write some codes from adb shell menu. One of the codes said something like -kill recovery, after what my recovery frooze. I restarted the phone by removing the battery but nothing is happening after that. I am trying to restart it in recovery or in bootloader or even normal restart. Everything in vain and nothing is shown on screen and not even boot logo or the lenovo powered by Android screen. But in my pc some drivers started installing out of which two were installed and two weren't please help.

i tried with stock recovery but same problem.
So it seems I'm being ignored
Hey ahmed
1-step
in order to root these qilive devices you will need...
magisk manager apk v5.6.4
stock boot.img file
working ADB to unlock oem and flash
2-step
lets get to it
place the magisk.apk and the stock boot.img
in the internal memory of your phone (downloads)
if you like to keep stuff organized :good:
3-step
follow the vídeo tutorial and use magisk manager
to patch your stock boot.img it will output a new
boot.img that includes magisk Root (patched_boot.img)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF4_hnKgjFA
ps: major ty to hovatek team for this great tutorial
step-4 use Google drive or usb OTG to get the patched_
boot.img to your PC and place it in the ADB folder
once you have oem(bootloader) unlocked just
rename the patched_boot.img to boot.img
step-5
unlock oem, these qilive devices wont unlock
the bootloader even if you enable it in DEV options
enable USB debug in dev options
you will need to use ADB commands
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock
(MAJOR WARNING the fastboot
oem unlock will wipe/reset/factoryreset/delete your data)
after you give the command small letters will appear
on the phone screen(yes or no) hard to read dont be hasty plz
use VOLUME+ to select and VOLUME - to confirm
note: when my phone ended the unlock it whent back to
that black screen where you choose fastboot-recovery-restart
and was stuck there, side keys did nothing if this happens
just long press the power key for 10 sec it will shutdown
then press power again to turn on
first boot after unlock will take longer then normal dont freakout
after you unlock small letters will appear during boot up saying the device
is not safe unlocked ,you can later use ( fastboot oem lock )
step-6
flash the patched boot.img with ADB
command- adb devices
serial appears
command- adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots to fastboot mode
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
finished/ok
command- fastboot reboot
and voila you should now have magisk
installed in the app drawer, open it!!
step-7 run the install one final time from the
magisk manager and install magisk V16 using
recomended option it will verify/patch the boot image
Do NOT select the AVB 2.0 BOX it will bootloop the phone
and your done, enjoy your qilive rooted phone.
from this point on you can use the fastboot
command- fastboot oem lock
to remove the letters in boot up about the
device not safe unlocked
WARNING oem lock
will WIPE/FACTORY RESET again (god damn it!!)
ps: i had to install twice in a row,major pain in the ....
Repeat step 7 after Wipe/Reset
here is the stock boot for 2 qilive models
you can get the stock firmware for any qilive
at this site www.doc-doapi.com/EM/qilive/smartph...te_3m-fdd-cs_mul_20170818-110645_songlixin_PC
and get the recovery or boot from the unpacked firmware file
ps:my phone is the Q8SIN4GP AND ITS WORKING FINE
A VERY SPECIAL TY to topjohnwu (magisk creator), this man is nothing
short of a God damn genius!! , and if you can donate to him.
hope this helps other qilive users to root:highfive:
quick note on the qilive models, they have two model names
the cliente name in my case Q8SIN4GP
and the factory name in my model its 882912
in order to download the right firmware for your model
you need the factory model witch is what appears in the qilive
site above, it will be in the back of the phone or the original
box on a sticker just bellow the bar code, full model exempl
:Q8SIN4GP/882912 my firmware serves several models,
these Q8 models all start with 88xxxx WARNING
dont try this using the wrong firmware/boot file or you will DAMAGE your phone
Help with BOOTLOOP problems, if you find your self stuck in a bootloop
the phone wont go past the qilive logo and just stays there, dont freak out
you will loose your data but there is a way out
just keep pressing power + Volume up until a black screen with 3 options appears
when it does let go, use Volume + to select option and Volume - to confirm
select Fastboot or alternative select recovery and then select reboot to bootloader
both option will place your phone in Fastboot mode, once in fastboot mode
connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands to fix/bootloop
command- fastboot devices
serial appears
command- fastboot oem unlock (skip this if you use phone unlocked)
a confirm action option appears on the phones screen
use Volume up to say YES / or Volume Down to say NO
Warning oem unlock will WIPE/Factory reset your phone
once it finishes the phone will be stuck on the
Recovery/fastboot/restart screen just long press the power key
until the phone shuts down
start the phone again using Power + Volume up when the black
screen with the 3 options come up, let go and use Volume up to
select Fastboot mode and confirm using Volume Down
Once in fastboot connect your phone to PC and use ADB commands
command- fastboot devices
serial apears
Here you will flash the magisk patched_boot.img
the same image you used to root your phone
command- fastboot flash boot boot.img
it will say finished-ok (or similar)
command- fastboot reboot
the boot up time will be longer than normal
but the phone should now complete the boot
and present the inicial setup screen, select language
enter your mail, the usual bla bla...
any way at this point just repeat step 7
to get root running again

hi phonedriller,
...well, i must have been an unlucky fisherman
an app i installed ended up giving me a soft brick (bootloop between qilive icon opening screen - btw still with the "warning" of "device is unsafe etc", i.e. oem still open - and black screen, qilive opening screen etcetcetc)
have cleaned cache; went for factory reset; etc
BUT: am presently stuck when trying to go via ADB (which used to work perfectly before) that somehow the usb drivers don't want to get installed properly. as a consequence, desktop cannot see devices.
and i cannot, for the sake of me, remember how i had succeeded before installing usb drivers.
could you please help?
thx

BUT: am presently stuck when trying to go via ADB (which used to work perfectly before) that somehow the usb drivers don't want to get installed properly. as a consequence, desktop cannot see devices.
and i cannot, for the sake of me, remember how i had succeeded before installing usb drivers.
could you please help?
thx

PS: adb will not work if the phone is not booting to the OS
it will work if you manualy place the phone in fastboot AKA bootloader
MODE ,you see if it does not boot to OS then usb service is not working
use power + Volume up to enter the black menu
use the Volume up to select fastboot(bootloader) volume - to confirm
connect the phone to your PC
flash the boot.img, the same boot.img used to root (patched by magisk)
to see is adb is ok just run - fastboot devices
if a serial is presented then all other stuff should work
step 1 - reflash the boot img
step 2 - after the flash finishes - fastboot oem lock
message on the phone screen, confirm yes to lock
OEM
step 3- press power until it turns off
it should now complete the start up (boot)
if not working this method let me now
you can still flash the full factory firmware
using SP Flash Tool v5.17xx

dearphonedriller,
thank you so much for your speedy help.
followed the steps given by you. all is well, as you predicted, until step 3.
however:
phone (now without the "orange state" message, i.e. oem locked) still bootloops and short of ADB "fastboot devices" the desktop doesn't see the phone (and driver installation continues to fail), as per your PS (thanks!) i guess flashing the full factory firmware ("RC-mt6737...zip" quoted by you in your very first post) is next.
would you please point me to a basic-for-noobs tutorial or instruct me on the step-by-step commands/procedures using this zip file?!
HUGE thanks

thank you, phonedriller
everything worked perfectly via SPFlash Tool.
and, referring back to our above questions re the possibility of getting TWRP onto the phones, a developer friend of mine writes me this:
>try to flash TWRP:
>Download following files from this link:
>https://mega.nz/#F!qZIgnJRK!5apBfYo1je0ytg-wmA6JMQ
>- Odin3 v3.12.3 (Complete folder)
>- twrp-3.2.1-0-Q8S55IN4G2-20180318.tar
>1. Start your Phone into download mode
>2. Start Odin (Odin3 v3.12.3\Odin3.exe)
>3. Click on Options and unmark Auto Reboot
>4. Click AP and select twrp-3.2.1-0-Q8S55IN4G2-20180318.tar
>5. Press Start and wait until finished (Reset or OK!)
>6. Restart your phone immediatly to recovery mode
>7. In TWRP Recovery click on mount
>8. Set the checkbox checked at system (that system is mounted)
>9. go back and click on advanced
>10. Open file manager
>11. navigate to system/build.prop and click on build.prop
>12. Click on chmod
>13. type: 0644 and hit the accept button on screen or at the virtual
>keyboard on your phone
>14. restart your phone
i haven't tried this, but am wondering whether it might seem "reasonably possible" when reading through it.
thanks

Do you perhaps have link to Q8S5IN4GP stock rorm? Mine came with malware installed on it. I want to see if those were chinese who preinstalled or or was it decided by Auchan.

On my phone it came from factory and on the firmware file on 2 models , however only kasperky complains about malware on an system app called Helper bla bla bla i think its a false positive(i think) as no other antivirus or playstore ever found anything,but hey better investigate and be safe then sry right :good: maybe a ported cyanogen rom, ive look at a few rom port tutorials but my knowhow is limited + dont even have a working twrp yet, avg/avast/malwarebytes and a few others ,only kaspersky detects malware.

I had issues with adds being displayed at home screen and I was not able to close them. I had to use NetGuard to find that FOTA talks to 'adsup' and it is a known malware provider. I learned that some of the system apps try to talk with Alibaba servers and AdOppo (whatever it's called). Kaspersky might not be wrong, actually.
I'm trying to download stock firmware, but I don't know the file name. The website with it is locked, so unless I know exactly what I need, I cannot download it.

I guess the best thing would be a lineage or cyanogen ported rom(clean),ps i flashed the phone 2 times because of popups/adds and battery drain,however im aware that having root and installing tones of crasy stuff can fu.. Up any phone cheap or flagship,thus the firmware flashes,i discovered that having malwarebytes(premium)free for 30days keeps the phone clean and working fine,it seems that one is forced to buy from a main stream brand or risk this kind of thing,little to no support,no updates at all,bad security,the problem is certain apps if removed resoult in boot loop like this Helper app

Ps use root + apps2sd or titaniumbackup to stop/disable the bad apps and replace them with playS app,not possible on all apps of course

I'm thinking about Android 8.1 with it's Treble project. I might not be knowledgable enought to compile and flash it, though.

Flashing is super easy use spflashtools or. Odin compiling a Rom is not , were you able to get the original firmware? You will need the original firware to get the boot and partition info from what i read so far
Unfortunately not. I will ask at the shop where I bought it how to contact tech. It should be freely available. I don't understand why Qilive restricted access to firmware.
I'll post when I learn anything.
Well, you can download the firmware if you know the file name. The bad news is, it seems the stock firmware has malware preinstalled. If there is anyone who could help confirm it. I have the ROM, and I can upload it to Google Drive if needed.
Hi all,
I'm coming back to a question lingering since the very first post here and mentioned again in post #9:
Is there a successful way to install TWRP on this Qilive model?
Re this topic:
- has anybody tried/has anybody been successful with the procedure described in post #9?
and
- has anybody seen the following TWRP builders' version (do an in-page search on Q8S55IN4G2)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/fr/downloads/twrp/
with the download belonging to it
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657591798
???
any successful installations to report???
Wouldn't THAT be great!!??
thanks

Hello, believe me i have search, i have a lenovo vibe k5 plus a 6020l37, which oiginally came with 5.0, i nstalled lineage OS 6.0, then several custom roms with android 7, and then installed oreo with aosp rom (all with minimal adb), everythng works, but the battery last only a few hours, so i decided to keep tryin other roms, but, it turns out i no longer have twrp, no root, if i try to boot in fastboot/bootloader it just gets stuck in the lenovo logo, if i go to developers options i have no unlock oem option, not even in gray, it just doesnt show, even if i wait 2 weeks, kingroot or any app won´t get me root access, when i have the phone plugged into the cpu, adb recognizes it (with the phone turned on) i tried copying an img to the sd, but the phone gives me several errors i try to factory reset and after it ask for the pin, i tap the "erase all" button but does nothing, in recovery mode i wipe data cache, and partition, but it gives me errors like
E:/failed to mount /cache/recovery/last locale
couldn´t mount sd card
instalation aborted
E:/unknown fs_type "f2fs" for Cache
And many similar ones.
The lenovo moto smart assistan recognizes it, i go to rescue, download de image to flash it, and it gets stuck on 67% everytime, i tried qfill, but i cannot seem to get it recognize the port (the device) and two other apps like that, is there any known path to solve this? i appeciate the help, thank you so much.
