OTA With TWRP

Remember : this update works fine if you didn't modified system files(except games).

But if you did don't worry when you flash the update you will see errors note it down open updater-script using notepad++

(You can find it here *.zip-> META-INF -> com -> google -> android -> )

now search the name of app/file name which is in the error and put "#" (without quotes) in front of each line which contains the searched word now save the file and flash it you're done. OR simply let me know the error you're facing.

After flashing device take 8 to 15 minutes to go to the home screen

s137

https://www.4shared.com/zip/jdM4QoHvce/S137.html

s141

https://www.4shared.com/zip/PbC7p7XEce/S141.html

Even i have tested these files on my device and working fine still i don't take responsibility for any damage caused to your device.

Question to the OP about AOSP ROM

Hello OP! Love your work. :good:

I have a question about the AOSP ROM you ported to our device. Is it able to use the SD Card as primary storage? I have downloaded an AOSP ROM from needrom before that was linked here and it couldn't use the external SD card as primary storage. Reading as you have ported it yourself it would be able to, RIGHT? :confused:

PSA: To the users ^THIS^ is how you quote a post. Just a small specific part of it not the whole thing.

P.S. Pls don't close this thread. We'll be nice. We promise. :angel:

yeah

if you didn't downloaded that then download s137.

this is the link

after flashing change the region code
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] samsexy98:
I think you have even listed the s141 update:

https://www.4shared.com/zip/PbC7p7XEce/S141.html

Can I just flash this and update to s142. I already have updated to s141 before root.

Btw how do I change the region code?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Chahat2197:
you cant do that

for region code it is only necessary if you flashed stock rom s136/s137 given above.

s141 which you have linked here is not working on rooted mobile those files are only for custom recovery because when i tried i was not rooted.

dont you have a backup of non-rooted rom?

if you want to try then take backup of your current rom and i'll give you the modified ota just flash it if you face problem then simply restore.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] samsexy98:
That s137 is 1.2GB??????? Awwww..... That hurts...

May be I will just live the official s141 that I am updated to unless there any major updates. I think s142 just improves a bit of battery life. More so I am afraid to brick the device.

Many thanks for your help and time though.... :)

Edit: No I don't have backup of non-rooted rom.

Can you upload the cwm backup of your firmware( after formatting the data of course )?

We could try directly restoring it. Might work
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Chahat2197:
I dont have faster internet connection this is why i cant but if you can download a backup then i think it is more simple to backup your app data download stock rom and flash it then update either online or offline i have already uploaded s137/s141/s142 ota zip files.

Use adb command or lenovo mobile assistant.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] haltstaker:
You're right, I agree. But for me, the thing is, for now I don't have access to a computer, it got short circuited and I'm yet to get it repaired. So I won't have it working back for at least a month I think.

Backups don't require the use of a computer so i asked :)
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] sam_80_2003:
I have tried that. Does not work. Once you root the phone the OTA simply fails.

Yesterday I flashed the Stock ROM s136 from this thread. Then updated to 137 -> 141 -> 142.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Eversmile23:
Does not work after rooting, even if on stock recovery.

There seems no other way round. As I am using CWM (not TWRP), had tried all u have asked and did not succeed and finally last night, I flashed s_136, updated to S_137, then S_141 and then finally to S_142. Had there been a shorter way, it would have saved a lot for us. Some body says it is possible to flash the OTA update without going back to stock, provided TWRP is the custom recovery at that time. I had never used TWRP. Hope some developer may make a work-around.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

I had made a CWM back up prior to going back to Stock ROM (S_136) for the purpose of getting the latest OTA update S-142. Now, after installing the latest OTA, if I restore data.ext4 only from the previous CWM back up, will it restore all my apps and data those were present earlier on my external SD Card and external SD card 2nd part (ext 2/ext 3/ext 4). If no, what other steps do I need to perform? If anybody knows the required 'how-to', please guide me in right direction.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] haltstaker:
Data is just unbundled apk files and their data as far as I know. It might get all your apps back but I'd suggest you to first take a backup and then try in case something goes wrong. We had an advanced restore ( you can select just data for restoring) in the original cwm.

For app backups you could've used titanium backup and then directly restored them after updating, that's more easier.

Succeeded.

Yes, I know all apks could have been backed up first in Titanium Back up or ROM Tool Box Pro(this one , I am using). But for the sake of knowledge, I had put the question. Any way, I flashed 'data.ext4' in advanced back up menu of CWM, and I confirm that all my apps in external SD as well as in 2nd part of SD(sd ext 2) are alive again. Thank you for answering.

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 AM ----------

Go to your settings and then to about phone and inside it you find 'System Update'. Click it after connecting to internet/gprs and then it will show you the OTA available for your device, download it and install it.

Now, I have received the latest firmware update vesion S142_150630 yesterday, but I am hesitating to install it.

bro you can't Flash OTA Updates When You Are On CWM

if You Want To Flash Ota Update You Must have Stock Recovery...

Because CWM Can't Handle OTA Updates Till Now..

And Flashing Stock Recovery neither help you too..

So If You Want OTA Update S142 then You Have to Flash Whole Stock Firmware Again And Start Again..

and yes you can Root S142 Update With The Same Procedure...
