Custom Recovery

Yes, the post has been edited... firstly we are in a great need of Custom recovery and we will be grateful if someone does that for us.

if the recovery ( CWM/ TWRP) is made the rooting issue will be solved. Then we will move on to the Custom Rom section. But, for now we need a working custom recovery.

[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] KangkanD:
These are of no help as they confuse Lenovo Note K3 with our Phone...... infact, our phone is different from K3 note in many aspects.

None of these methods floating around are actually working, including all the PC rooting softwares.

Matter of fact, people giving these tutorials don't even own a real Lenovo A7000a IRL. We are the users and we are well acquainted with the Dilemma.

A custom Recovery ported by a altruistic developer can only put us out of our miseries.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] kanagadeepan:
+1 ji..

This phone is pretty good. I think, it Comes with unlockable bootloader / unsafe boot image. Even the source + stock firmware is already available.

If experienced developers helps us by giving any custom recovery, we will be very thankful and grateful to them as this great phone is lacking in this area only.

Here it is but. if you know chinese.

Well its final i think.

can someone test if the SDCard works.

the mounts work.

remember. you need to delete "recovery-from-boot.p" in /system

this can over write the recovery.

original recovery from

http://cellphonemic.com/lenovo-k3-note-recovery.html

i tried the original recovery image. Didn't work. so i ported. I replaced the core files and retained the ram disk and did a few edits.

Thanks to the guys who made that recovery. It seems that was originally for a K50

credits:

Kishore Dutta for the stock recovery.

The guy whoever made that original recovery

My patience, annoyance and my anger that made me do it.

Feel free to give me a thumbs up, lots of money, anything. Thank is welcome too.

Root not sticking after reboot need to check this

any idea how to make it stick after reboot
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
Sincere Thanks

I never pun on words. Indeed I don't remember ever teasing anybody.

You are certainly doing a great help first rooting this device and then uploading the firmware( no matter whatever bugs or lags there may be). I have been using rooted androids for the past 3 or 4 years so much so that I can't even think of using an android device without my favorite root only apps on it.

Before buying this device the first thing I searched on internet was if there was any help rooting this device. And I placed my order only after visiting this post.

So please don't get pissed by the comments or behavior of anybody ( I too may have acted recklessly- I apologize here publicly if you feel so)

Don't ever give upon the ones like me . please continue your work.

( l may have my groundless doubts and questions. Just ignore them if they don't deserve an answer.- I will never be offended or grouchy(

Sincerely

[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] BHARDIK:
rac

no sp flash tool doesn't require root at all, tutorials given in this threads with screenshots just search this threads in PC and search page no 10 to last you got full sp flashtool tutorials with screenshots .

2. extract it

3. download and run sp flash tool

4. select load scatter button and find scatter file "MT6752_EMMC_Scatter" extracted firmware folder.

5. wait for sp flashtool to verify files

6. choose option in sp flash tool/go download option and check the DA option.

7. now press firmware upgrade

8. remove battery from mobile and insert it back

9.connect smartphone on switch off condition via usb cable.

Note:- you must installed USB VCOM driver in your pc before you connect it.

driver already provided in first post.

10. now if all gone well and device detected then RED gauge filling shown in sp flash tool then yellow bar filling slowly . wait until you see download ok message in sp flash tool.

thats it. please refer and do all steps correctly . then everything gonna be okay else you can not success.

Hello,

Can this TWRP be used for Lenovo P70 which has the same Mt675 with 1.7 Octa Core, 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] BHARDIK:
no i don't think so, each device may have different partition even if device have same cpu. you must port it using recovery porting methods...

easy way to test it is unpack recovery and edit partition info in etc/recovery.fstab file as same like your device partition info then repack it.

now test recovery by flashing it using sp flash tool if not worked then flash stock recovery back.

Thanks

You can use this link to download the stock ota rom s133 and after you can update it to s136

http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=1898956137&shareid=2321425575&third=0

This is ota ROM so to flash have to make a folder with name googleota in phone storage (default write access storage).

After copy the ROM in this folder and rename it to 'update' then boot your device in stock recovery and use update from SD card and that's all

Note: keep a copy of ROM in PC because after flashing it can be auto delete.

After flashing start do not stop it in between.Flashing ROM take time after 75% to process or keep patience after flashing start.

If it will not start then there will no change and no damage to your phone.

After flashing do a factory reset.

Flash work on only lenovo stock recovery.

This is my tested procedure and experience.

Do at your own risk and choice.:thumbup::thumbup:

Restored stock recovery and tried OTA update to S136 but failed

Hi guys

I restored to the stock recovery given in the first post. and tried doing the OTA update to s136.

It rebooted and showed that it's installing the update and then showed a failed message.

How can I install the OTA update after recovering to stock recovery ???
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] excel0:
I soft bricked (I hope) my phone too. Need assistance

Hello, I have a similar problem with post #101

I have done the same thing. I flashed CWM recovery using SP Flash Tool. I have made sure to check the DA DL checkbox but it still showed the Tool DL image fail error.

I was forced to download the 1.4 GB stock firmware and when I flashed it using instructions from post #104 and making sure to check the DA DL checkbox it still showed the Tool DL image fail error. It also displayed similar symptoms in post #101 about it vibrating from time to time indicating that it's in a bootloop.

TLDR: Bootlooped phone "Tool DL image fail" error. Please help! Thank you.

P.S. I'm running Windows 8.1 64 Bit

I FIXED IT! IT WAS JUST WHAT I THOUGHT. MY PHONE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH BATTERY! I CHARGED IT FOR 30 MINS AND FLASHED THE FIRMWARE AGAIN AND IT FINALLY WORKED! NO MORE TOOL DL IMAGE FAIL ERRORS. SO PLEASE, WHEN YOU FLASH SOMETHING MAKE SURE IT HAS MORE THAN 50% BATTERY

When i select the scatterer file from stock

The spflash tool is unable to verify the files

It stucks loading the system.img file and

It shows something error like "checksum error of the system file"

And can someone please upload a screenshot of his "target.bin" folder in stock rom i want to see what files are present

[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] excel0:
Hello friend. The checksum error you are experiencing is probably because the firmware you downloaded is corrupted. Sadly the only way to fix this is to download the firmware again.
