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

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.

You are not correctly getting it my friend. i said the phone doesnt boot at all no matter what key combinations are tried. it simply doesnt start. no display no vibration no sound nothing just the pc detects it as qualcomm hsusb.........
BTW in the mean time my father got to know about this condition. he scolded me but asked to fix it if i can before going to service center. i was just thinking what if they got to know that i rooted the phone? or installed custom recovery in it? anyway if i am to go to the service center the statement given by me will be that:- while updating via ota from kitkat to lollipop the battery died and this all happened. an yes i live in INDIA time zone=+5:30 GMT so tell me when i can find you online(time?) my friend so we can try fixing my phone also it will be help full if we become friends on facebook? so that we can chat live clearly and for as long as we want. so that i can ask you about any problem occouring in future directly without creating a forum in xda. so please buddy please....... .... .. .

You have to install it from stock recovery and to factory reset and wipe cache partition before installing the zip
Lenovo updates are very bad and may soft brick you phone

So it seems I'm being ignored
Hey ahmed
Hello!
I have a bricked phone. When I got him, he was in a state "loaded to the screensaver and stop".
I decided to flash him using recovery (carliv touch recovery 2.2). Thanks to recovery I copied all the files from phone. But all my attempts of flashing were unsuccesful - I've got the errors while recovery did an unzipping.
That because I decided to use SP FlashTool. But I've forever got the same error 5069.
I notice, that I can format my phone and download the preloader. But it's all what I can.
What I tried (what i remember):
to load without and with battery;
to put a battery after beginning of flashing;
to flash with pushed power, volume control buttons - all together and alone
to use another system, cable and computer (2 cables and computers, windows and ubuntu);
to flash different versions (from off site);
to use different versions of sp flashtool
Also I found a video, where propose to do the backup of working phone (prestigio 3400) by MTK droid tool and try to flash this.
I would be very grateful if you help me. Thanks
Hi i bought a umi z not long ago and today i wanted to install twrp thanks to this link
Then i wanted to root it thanks to super su.
So I install SPFlash tool on my computer and downloaded the recovery twrp on my phone. It worked great until I wanted to reboot into android. And than !!!! problem. I'm in bootloop. Nothing to do. The people who did it also said they were all satisfied. I need help pleease. After several unsuccessful tries I find myself without Custom Recovery and without system.
HELP ME:crying::crying::crying::crying:
You can flash stock ROM again with SP flashtool.
Shut down phone. DL stock Rom. Extract this and flash whit SP tool. Works. Great.
First switch off your phone, staying the power button more than 10 seconds (release as soon as the bootanimation deseappears).
Then on your PC launch SP flash tool and use the scatter file of the last version ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/umi-z/development/compilation-original-roms-t3549971 ), start download, connect phone to PC and all is ok ! But factory reset...
Device:
Lenovo A916. (I don't think that matters for this isue though)
Issue:
Since the one and only firmware lenovo released was kitkat 4.4.1, i wanted to update to 5.1.
Rooted phone, managed to install TWRP, flashed to lollipop 5.1, so far so good. But had some problems with the custom ROM (no SIM detected), so i decided to download a stock ROM recovery and installed it.
When rebooted device i was stuck on CWM and custom rom installations give me errors and can't access USB storage on PC.
When i try to install a custom rom i get a no file_contexts warning and it fails.
Is there a way to fix this (maybe enter again to TWRP so i can flash a rom again? i don't know) or is my phone ruined forever? It was on USB debug mode, if that helps.
For some weird reason, it turns on by itself when connected via USB cable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello everyone.
So I decided to update my device as i find out that there is a new default ROM available for my device that is Infocus m530.
I downloaded the ROM and i was flashing it through Software Update Tool (SUT) in Normal mode. The installation process got stuck at 16% for like 10 or 15 minutes so I removed the USB (I know its a dumb move ) . And I rebooted the device and got stuck into a boot loop.
I can access the default 3e recovery mode only but because my ROM was in format ob .nb0 I am not able to Flash it using stock recovery, I can no longer access the FastBoot mode,
When i try to boot the device up it goes into One or two loops and the a windows pop up saying no command. In that window if I press power button the stock recovery shows up.
I tried to flash the ROM again using SUT in emergency mode but the device is getting disconnected automatically. In device manager its showing up as Mediatek Pre Loader USB VCOM for a second or 2 and then automatically getting disconnected and then same No Command menu.
For a minute a new device is also popping in the Explorer which usually contains all the default driver of the phone.
Any way I can recover my Bricked Device
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Hi , try to flash this firmware from normal Recovery , once you download rename to update now put firmware inside empty formatted sd card and put inside your phone to start flashing from recovery .
https://www.kriztekblog.com/2016/06...=o67JcQ2b1GjkodlJa9ULilWJwoqb1xZxq6CkVi5D960=
I didn't checked it is for zip or for flash tool so test it first . Good luck .
FIXED

I already tried it but it didnt work.
So finally I was able to fix the device. The META Mode ain't a myth. Flashed the ROM correctly in META mode and the device booted up properly.
