HELLO FRIENDS...
Many friend have face this problems i.e no recovery,no splash screen,no system only just a small vibration this is know as Hard-Brick..
This method will 100% works for both Lenovo a6000 and plus...
for this we need the following things....
Firmware-File
QPST Tool
and well working computer or Laptop..
Thing want to know before starting...
We will not use QPST tool for flashing this is optional. After installing QPST tool the error face by most computer will be fixed error like MSVCP100.dll error mostly this problem is face by 64bit OS..If you have installed 64bit try it if it's works then good if not then use your friend's PC which have 32bit OS or install 32bit OS
We will use flash tool which already given in Firmware zip.
Let's Start...:laugh:
After downloading the firmware You'll get firmware folder and Qualcomm Flash Tool and most important drivers folder there will be more files but no use of those file.
STEP 1.First extract this above 3 file in a folder where you want...then click on driver folder and then click on Qualcomm_USB_Driver_Setup.exe......setup will start...select the first option(WWWAN.DHCP........) and then next...further you can do.. while installation if a pop-up comes click on yes(all ways click on yes) after completion of driver installation please reboot or restart you are pc or laptop ..:good:
STEP 2...click on Qualcomm Flash Tool->QcomDLoader.exe if it start then good....and if there is an error like MSVCP100.dll not found or something else
then install QPST tool and run it. After opening it now close it.....Now again click on QcomDLoader.exe this time it will work:good:
then click on Load button(the first icon of the tool) then browse the firmware folder where u have extracted...then click on start(the 3 icon of the flash tool)
STEP 3:..Now remove Your sim card and memory card(if u don't have this then also remove your battery and then put it again)...
Now hold volume+ and volume - button(do not touch power button) and plug in vie usb... the flash will automatically start....
wait till it complete...after finish it will show finish in green color...then unplug the phone and hold power button to start...
This method is same for Lenovo a6000 plus the only different will be....it will show 1GB ram and 8GB internal storage
To fix this install any custom rom..,:good:
This method is tasted by me and it work for me I have Lenovo a6000 plus that's why I am sharing this with you all....
NOTE:-after coming back to KitKat you may face the problem of boot loop for 7.x.x rom or some feature of the rom may not work..to overcome this problem follow this
download this twrp KitKat version(not so important) you can use cwm(not tested) and direct flash the lollipop rom which contain system.img file in it eg. vibe 2.5(tested and works) ,color os 3.1 or any rom which contain system.img and reboot.:good:

After flashing , i just power on the device and left it. it just keeps on restarting. (ie what i mentioned as boot loop).
I cannot acess TWRP then how can i flash vibe 2.5 using it.
Sry I didnt get you, I send the video of the phone in your whatsapp number.
even using " fastboot boot twrp.img" command it is showing sucessful in cmd promt but while device keeps restarting

If you can't enter recovery your simplest method would be flashing recovery through fastboot mode..
