LENOVO A816 (qualcomm based) flash HELP NEEDED! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I am new here, so my apologies if posted in the wrong section of forum.
I need help with my Lenovo A816 (qualcomm based). I accidentally deleted lenovo launcher. In the morning i switched the phone and it keeps boolooping (at least i think)
I can't do factory reset also because it doesn't react to vol- + pwr button, it keeps turning itself on and off. It does that also without battery when connected to USB-PC.
Can somebody help me flash the correct ROM and gives me instructions step-by-step how to do it.
I kept searching everywhere and whatever tool i tried it seems like it's mission impossible.
I downloaded custom ROM from here. I wanted to flash the custom rom because all of the chinese junk inside (couldn't access google play or etc... with pre-installed).
P.S. If it helps i have another Lenovo A816 (exactly the same) which is ok, if that helps in anyway. PLEEAASE PEOPLE, HELP ME OUT. It's a brand new phone.
Yes, one other thing, i can enter Lenovo-Recovery by pressing vol+, vol- and pwr. I do format data and wipe user data, and reeboot but keeps bootlooping. So Lenovo recovery doesn't help either.

[Q] Lenovo A830 Boot Loop No Recovery

I have a problem with one of my Lenovo A830 phones.
I bought it from Etotalk, so it came rooted, and with their custom version of the Lenovo Stock ROM and their custom version of CWM 5.5 installed.
I tried formatting my SD card and then doing a factory data reset from within the operating system. (I was intending to install MIUI V5 after rebooting into recovery).
However, on rebooting, the device is now caught in an infinite boot loop, and I am not able to boot into recovery mode (by holding down power and both volume keys). It loads the initial splash screen, then shows a few seconds of the Android character and some whirring cogs before rebooting.
I am able to boot into Factory mode (power and volume up) or Meta mode (power and volume down). Factory mode has a number of options, but they are all in Chinese characters, which I am unfortunately not able to read.
I did notice that my SD card seemed to be write protected when I tried to format it in my computer and to copy on the new ROM - I solved this by putting it in a different phone and reformatting it. I wonder whether the factory reset process has write protected something it shouldn't have?
Does anyone know how I might best proceed? I've been digging around on the forums, and tried a few things, but there's nothing which seems to provide a coherent solution for this problem.
I've got the latest Android SDK Tools, MTK Droid Tools 2.4.8, SP Flash Tool 3.1312, some additional ADB drivers (120827 v3.7) that I'm not sure how to install, the latest MIUI V5 ROM (3.8.16), and the latest stock Lenovo ROM (S118 from Need A ROM, just in case I need it).
Maybe different SP Flash Tools version?
I had trouble using SP Flash Tools v3.1312 with A830. Once I switched to v3.1304.0.119 I was able to flash both the original ROM and the custom MIUI one without serious issues. I'm unable to post the download link but google it.
One other thing is that when connecting the phone, it usually loads the something something Preloader driver, which is no good (even if it gives you Download OK). When attempting to flash either ROM, try pressing both the power and volume up buttons while connecting the phone (after pressing Download), only way it worked for me.
Good luck!
I managed to sort this out quite simply in the end!
On the Lenovo A830 (and presumably other Lenovo Android phones?), you enter recovery by pressing power and then pressing volume up / down together after a short pause. The short 1 - 2 second pause is important, because if you try and press them at the same time or in quick succession it doesn't seem to work.
I then installed MIUI V5 from the SD card followed by Google Apps after a reboot. In order to get MIUI to install, I had to remove the assert check at the top of the update script, because this seems to erroneously check for the A820 (even though there isn't currently a port for this device?). It's working excellently with two exceptions - I am unable to select the SD card as a storage device, and Google Play store is not searchable (it causes a Force Close).

Hi I had similar "reboot loop" problem this morning after a phone factory reset.
I have no idea how I solved that but the following was the steps I tried:
1. Install the MTK6589_PdaNET_ADB_VCOM_Drivers. Skip the USB connection during setup. Start the PdaNET after setup finished.
2. Insert battery inside the phone and connect the phone with the computer by USB
In my case, the phone reboot loop once, and the lenovo screen appeared in the second restart. The phone hanged. I unplugged the cable, took out the battery, insert the battery again and start the phone normally again and it is working now.
I recommend installing the recovery rom after you have fixed the phone.
Goodluck

Huawei u9510e brick

I've search long and hard ..to no avail. I have a huawei ascend d1 qaud u9510e. Its had a chinese custom recovery and was flashed with MIUI 3.2.22. From the UPdater miui i've been spammed by to do a 'weekly update'' on a daily basis. I read it , it said it didnt delete internal and minimum problem would happen. So I did it. It went through the install phone rebooted. it worked one time till I restarted phone. now i am unable to get back .All i see is the HUAWEI start up logo. it just hangs there. the phone wont turn off just restarts itself to that screen, I am unable to get to custom recovery by holding the power button + volume + which etc. I have the original miui 3.2.22 on my sd card but cannot get to that because of this bootloop/cannot access reovery mode. majority of the time my computer will not reogonize my device but sometimes my computer recognize my phone as adb. How Can I fix it so I can get to a recovery so I can reflash to previous working rom. thank you for your time

Lenovo vibe Z90-7 brick - stucking at initializing

Hello, after playing with my z90 (with the original rom that was Z90a40_USR_S118 international, bought in october 2015) I wanted to clean it up and make some updates. So I made my backups etc... Entered the recovery (not the green lenovo one wich is very limited) with hold vol - , I choosed to wipe (the phone was encrypted just to mention) all that I can and reset to factory, all was done but when it finished, it reboot and it stuck to initializing just after lenovo logo it reboot... initializing... and it s an inifinite loop. So I retryed to go to the maintenance recovery but it s not possible a black screen come and it reboot, I can go to the limited lenovo green recovery, but no factory reset, so I make the wipe datas etc... nothing... infinite reboot loop!
So I found some rom put them in the micro SD, go for an update.zip with the recovery, update work well but... initializing.... reboot...
Grrr, lenovo... So I take the big tools, installed a minimal win7 with qualcom drivers, lenovo ones, qpst. I tried many manipulation to enter the download mode with port com (I finaly managed multiple times with not the exact manipulation it s vol- + power + 10s and multiple spanning of the vol - button....) And I have succefully flashed multiple roms with qfil but with always the same results... initializing, reboot... I don t know where to search now, I someone can help me to find where to go, perhaps reflashing the recovery or I saw the .qnc in a russian forum but I can t understand one word.... 2 days of flashing make me hate my lenovo, my first brick with a phone . Any help?
Thanks,
sorry for my bad english

Hi,
here is my solution if can help.
I had on my vibe shot s208 rooted ROW. It stacked after SU update in boot loop.
1. I did wipe data without formatting from recovery mode (Vol+ and Vol- and Power button. When Logo is on release power button and hold Vol+ and Vol - until you are in recovery mode). STILL boot loop.
2. I did wipe data with formatting from the same menu. - STILL boot loop.
3. I did factory reset from recovery menu (Vol - and Power after logo is on release Power and hold Vol - until you get recovery mode) - STILL boot loop.
Then I did next:
1. I downloaded and installed QFIL (QPST_2.7.422) - I am not allowed to post links yet.
2. I have connected OTG adapter to phone. Phone was off.
3. then connected OTG to PC. It was some HDD activities but I did not hear any sound.
4. press Vol- for as long as something is going on - HDD activities. Then I think came up sound too - but not sure.
5. I had installed Qualcomm USB drivers from before I suppose.
6. Because I couldn't see my device as ...908 I disconnected and connected again usb cable... then I got my device as ...908 in device manager, but it was written "RECONNECTED" or similar in front of word "QUALCOM".
7. Then just follow instructions for QFIL. and ROM will be installed.
First I have installed INTERNATIONAL no root ROM. But because I needed phone to be rooted in order to use data recovery software I flashed again with s240 ROOTED. When I flashed second time I did not use OTG, just direct usb cable connection to PC, and my phone was again recognized after I reconnected usb cable and in device manger was "RECONNECTED" in front of word "QUALCOM".
Hello, thanks for replying. But I already tried all the roms with qfil, they were successfully installed as wtih miflash but I always got a initializing boot loop... Unfortunately I tried some other method, I successfully erase all partitions, I m now in 9006 mode with a long vibration on start and I cant do anything now No flashing works anymore... I ll try some stuff when I had a little time.
did you find a solution ?? , cause I have the same problem ... tried everything, adb or cwm recovery won't work cause my device is not rooted nor the usb debugging is on .. so am stuck with this "initializing loop".. flashing didn't solve it for me, I tried every ROM I could find, rooted or not .. nothing .... this problem happened with my phone after wiping user data and trying to restore QCN, cause before this problem I had another one with network services, tried to solve it, and here I am, from bad to worse
Hello,
I had the same problem. I tried with QFile and MiFlash but unfortunately without success. will you a track ?
I reinstalled the drivers QDLoader HS- USB Driver. I maintained volume + for 3 seconds , however, nothing happens ! (Before it worked ) I also tried adb reboot eld the prolème is the USBport phone is not known !
I followed the procedure of DejXDA carefully until the end staying press the VOL- the phone starts to recharging battery ... have you others sollutions ? thanks in advance.
Hey there !
Same problem for me... The solution may be to rebuild the partition table, but we need a working phone, and a backup with QPST.
Would anyone post a *.qcn file from his phone, made with QPST Software Download ? or a *.hex ?
And the user partitions ? Or a factory image (*.mbn) ?
Any gurus here, what would you advise for that problem ? Would using QPST properly work ?
Cheers !

reboot to ffbm - phone will not start

Hello All
I find myself in a desperate situation.
I have rebooted to ffbm mode by mistake and my phone will not start.
I have just the white start screen with the wilefox logo...it does not get passed this.
I could do with some urgent help if there is anyone out there?...
Thanks
Update....I'm out of it...thank god...if anyone else finds themselves here then volume down and power button for a few seconds. Then you find yourself in the recovery mode where you can select reboot using the volume keys to navigate up/down. Rebooting then worked. What a relief!

Not working for me , help please ???, I had just unlocked my tab bootloader and flashed twrp recovery but instead of booting inyo recovery I booted into ffbm mode by pressing power mode , you are the only one who can help me please ??
I don't like to leave you high-and-dry...but I moved on from this phone already 3 years ago and its a distant memory.
All I can suggest is trying combinations of the buttons like. vol+ & vol- at the same time then press power and hold all 3 buttons.
Also on previous phones where I messed about and nearly killed the thing I found that holding the power button for AGES would eventually wake it up. It may be a waste of time but on occasions I found that just doing the same thing over and again eventually brought a result (although this is said to be the first sign of madness...so careful with that). Good luck with your endeavour...been there many times :S

May be I was wrong before that it is because of ffbm but here is the thing with which I had just suffered ... Yesterday just thought to go and unlock the device and root it with magisk, but when I booted into twrp , I found the twrp wasn't showing the device internal storage , so I searched on youtube and found that formatting data will help so I just did that rebooted again in twrp and it did work but while wiping other stuffs such as dalvik, cache , I accidentally wiped the system so I end up getting a lenovo tab 4 10 which can't boot anymore, And one more stuff is that my device is dm verity which is a biggest headache for me , I had almost 5 samsung phones and all rooted easily but the procedure of lenovo and their support is worst, I had decided to never go with any lenovo product in future but also can't waste my money on that tab : (
Btw ... Coming back to the topic while navigating to the device forum I found the o.p. has posted a system sparse image which can be used to restore the system but even after restoring it my device is not booting up only lenovo logo is popping up and then into fastboot mode, sadly there is no custom roms available for this device as I had also thought to flash the firmware using the guide but I am totally confused and scared about to not to do anything which will hard brick this device, I am still able to boot into recovery which I think is a strange think because after flashing sparse image it should be replaced by the stock recovery file, but as described no booting into system, I tried contacting in the xda forum but no one is replying , I even tried sending pm to the o.p. but no response .
I am conpletely newbie in this fastboot devices and the lack of support just sucks ,thanks for reading this and replying me if you have any suggestion from your previous experience then free fell to tell.

Maybe you have this fixed by now.. I searched around a bit about this and found this:
https://blogthetech.com/flash-file-lenovo-tab-4-10-tb-x304l-firmware-download-stock-rom/
Only one step I'm unsure about and that is "You will need to power off your device and connect it to the PC while off."
On my Wileyfox device (different device, I know) I need to power off and then press and hold all buttons (power, vol +, vol -) until device vibrates and gives a blank screen/no screen, this is how to boot into EDL mode on my device.
Your device maybe works differently, try both ways.
This is probably the best way of unbricking your tablet and here is the firmware file you need:
TB-X304L (WiFi and LTE)
TB-X304F (WiFi only)
Do I understand you correctly that you also have a dm-verity check issue?
For that you need to be booted up and have USB debugging on, tablet connected to pc and you type in this command:
Code:
adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing"
It will reboot and dm-verity check should by then be fixed.

Thanks for your effort, I had fixed my tab a week before by flashing the stock firmware but can you tell me what is the use of that dm verity commond.
And yes my tab is dm verity.

I should've given it another read, you have headache over dm-verity cause you want to root your device with custom recovery and stuff like that. This command line will not do you anything, not anything you want anyways.
On a Wileyfox Swift 2 device there was an bad uptade that made dm-verity check fail, this command was used to "reset" dm-verity. I assumed you had a similar issue but now I'm sure yours is a different kind of issue.
You would probably want to find a way of disabling dm-verity on your device.
Made one search for it and found this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
If it is only root you want you could get it with Magisk without flashing a custom recovery, you need the boot image of your device and you patch it with Magisk.
Then you flash the patched boot.img to your device. I believe this way works around dm-verity so is why I mention it.

"soft-bricked" Essential Phone

Hello
A while ago, I tried to root my Essential Phone using magisk. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, but when I tried to install the magisk zip file, it failed, and I was stuck in a bootloop.
Easy problem to solve right? I wiped everything from my phone (including the ROM), downloaded a stock ROM (.ZIP file, and I think that’s what ****ed everything up) and when I tried to install it, it failed once again. Therefore, I downloaded another stock ROM file (this time as a .img file) and tried to installed it.
But what I ended up doing, was installing some other .img file as the boot image (on twrp), and after that, my phone kept restarting endlessly. I couldn’t access the recovery mode (if I tried to press the vol down + start buttons, or just the start button, the process would repeat, so I leaved my phone there until it run out of battery, now its off).
I was despaired and tried to search every inch of the internet for a solution, and obviously, I could not find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for your attention.
(Im not sure if this is really a soft brick, I named this thread wit my basic knowlage, sorry if Im wrong)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
going to give it a shot after I buy another type - C cable, because mine just broke ;-;
but I think that's not going to work, because I can't access the recovery mode menu
when I press the power + vol down keys the Essential's logo appears and get stuck in a bootloop
Thanks anyways
