can i flash a7000-plus ROM to a7000-a?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Bahamut.xx:
Its sure that is software problem!

Maybe on windows with dview you can remove all the unwanted driver wath cause the problem,but i cant tell you which driver is unwanted.Ask somebody smarter than me :)

With linux you dont need driver.I dont installed nothing extra just adb and fastboot from repository,but i think it have nothing to do with that.I m a welder so,its not a complicated thing a linux desktop :)

If you dont find any other solution to repair your phone,I can try to write a guide for the linux methode.Just tell me.

No,you dont!It will cause unreversible damage!

(I read somewhere,i dont know where,maybe here)

If you flash another rom than your phone needs,preloader and boot.Its makes your phone unflashable.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] sanctioned_k:
make sure u have vcom drivers on ur windows......pda drivers sometimes cause problems.......

the damage that he is talking is that both the phoones are different entirely......simple example u dont put petrol in a diesel car......or vice versa.......similarly......u dont flash the os of a different phone on another phone just cause the names are some what similar........

what if my a7000-a is not loading ,booting , should i format boot loader ?

Its better try to flash a rom with spflash tool.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] kwikastaga80:
oh okay, thanks for answer.

I thought its the same as lenovo a6000 with a6000plus. the ROM is the same and both are can be flash visa versa.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] kwikastaga80:
i had tried flashing with flash tool but i unthick da with checksum coloum.

sp flash tool firmware upgrade success., but it wont load firmware, just vibrate

if i thick again da with checksum option. flash tool failed when it comes 100% with brom error s_chksum error 1041
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Bahamut.xx:
In this case,try to flash another rom first, erlier ones like S13x or S14x.

If fails, ( I know,that i say always that,but... ) try linux.... (Read the last 2 or 3 page) 100% its works.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Joel Asignar:
Hey guys, can I directly flash this update even if i'm with cm12.1 this time?

Or should I revert to a stock firmware first?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] andreasbo:
You should flash the stock update ONLY using SP Flash Tool.

The stock ROM is intended to be flashed only using the SP.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Joel Asignar:
Of course, I'm aware of that. What i'm trying to say is that when flashing the update using SP, does it require me to revert to a stock rom first or I can directly flash it even with a custom rom on my phone. Thanks anyway.??
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Ankit Dubey:
You can directly flash it using spft no matter on which rom you are.

how to change font style in lenovo a7000
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Eversmile23:
Not good?

I had been using Link2SD app to download and install a number of apps to my Lenovo A 7000 running Lollipop. Now, after updating to 'Marshmallow' apps can not be moved easily to SD card. Now, I found 'Link2SD' also not working as expected. Since my device has only 8GB internal storage, had this 'Link2SD' been working it would have been great. I also checked 'APP2SD' by Vickybonik, I am not satified. Even after setting the MicroSD card to be used as internal memory, I found 'insufficient stoarage' messages many a times. I can not understand, how this feature in android 6.0 is going to help. Any idea, how to get rid of the 'insufficient storage' on our device?

[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] nickalumada:
You know there is a "Format sdcard" Section in marshmallow, right? :))

You can format your sdcard as internal storage in marshmallow. And the internal storage(not sdcard) will be hidden and controll by the OS :)

hey guys now i have seen this whole thread should i really buy a7000 or i should go with yureka plz help guys
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] samsexy98:
Seriously if you want a Frying Pan for Rs.9000/- then go with Yureka :laugh:
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] ali.jishan786:
Seriously it is gonna delivered today give me final verdict that should i really buy yureka or not
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Ankit Dubey:
Yes. you can buy A7000. I have tried both A7000 and my friend's yureka and found A7000's performance and battery life better then yureka although on camera front the rear cam of yureka produces much crispier photos than a7000 however, with new update to A7000 camera quality has become slightly better and there is hardly any noticeable diffrence in picture quality. Yureka heats up faster and has lesser battery backup of about 1 day on avg usage with little gaming, whereas A7000 did gave be backup of more than a day though its not the cold one either.

So if u are more interested in playing games and running application fluently for long time i'll recommend buying A7000.

If u want to take pics or have an already rooted phone (don't wanna go through tedious rooting process ) then go for yureka.......

(many of the root apps are currently not working on A7000 as they do not support android lollipop for now (like xposed,viper4android etc.)but eventually they will )
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] ali.jishan786:
Thanks a lot then looks like i have to let down delivery boy whoom bringing a yureka for me and tommorow i would get a7000 with luck in its open sale.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Eversmile23:
It really works : as stated by Chikkarajusk, but I succeeded a bit differently.

I think ADB set up and recognising your mobile by ADB is important. What I observed is like this : I downloaded all required tools and files mentioned in the post by Chikkarajusk. But when I connected my Lenovo A 7000 without battery and allowed some seconds to pass and then connected the battery I did not see any progress, I mean, download process. Then I connected again my mobile after (i) disconnecting the cable, (ii) removing the battery for some seconds, (iii) inserting the battery and (iv) pressed download button with pressing volume + button, I got a red line showing 100% at the bottom of SP Flashtool, but encounted a BROM error(5054). Then I repeated steps (i), (ii) & (iii) and in the step (iv) I pressed 'volume-' button and I succeded, I saw a redline saying 100% then a yellow line and then a tick mark. I could not believe it ! Because, for last 7 days or so, I had been trying desperately to root it. I studied a lot, even tutorial on flashing CWM(the ported one) through fastboot, but I was afraid of soft/hard bricking my phone. Now I am rooted with CWM recovery. I hope this may help somebody else. :D
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] sam_80_2003:
Thanks to everyone here I got my phone rooted. Followed chikkarajusk with one exception

At Step 10, I Just put off the phone. and waited till it completely went off. Then just connected the USB cable from the PC to the phone.

the Flash tool flashed it in seconds and green tick mark came.

Special thanks to all here for the CWM,TWRP and SU.

New firmware for A7000 released ?

Hi after I rooted and restarted I got this message. Its a new firmware update for our phone.

Now my question is, after we have installed a custom recovery and achieved root , will we be able to safely download this update and install this firmware upgrade ?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] ali.jishan786:
Buddy this is just a update to fix some sort of bugs. Don't worry it will not effect either root or recovery.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] sam_80_2003:
My question was a bit different... since we have overwritten our stock recovery and boot. Will we be able to install the firmware upgrades given by Lenovo. I mean does this firmware upgrade make use of the stock recovery to install these updates ? Now that we have CWM, will CWM be able to install this update once the phone restarts ?

Sorry if my question here is lame , am a newbie.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] ali.jishan786:
The tools required to flash a update in a stock recovery were also present in the custom recovery. Simply the custom recovery were integrated in the system so no need to worry about that. Custom recovery performs all the duties of a stock recovery and sometimes more.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] sam_80_2003:
Thank you buddy (ali.jishan786) !!!! I'll go ahead and try the firmware upgrade then ....
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] ali.jishan786:

In the first post it's mentioned that Restore is not yet working . Then even if we take a CWM backup is there any other way of restoring ?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] ali.jishan786:
If cwm restore is not working then there is no way to restore system apart from the stock recovery backup restore which is a hit but as u mention u don't hv a stock recovery. There is other way to restore things which is MTK droid tools but is was complex process.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] sam_80_2003:
Kindly read this link

http://sakitechonline.com/how-to-get-ota-updates-on-a-rooted-htc-one-m8/

It says that a custom recovery will not be able to process the OTA updates. for that we will need to reflash back the stock recovery .

Can anyone share the Stock recovery and the process of flashing it back ???? I would like to have the OTA updates from Lenovo ....
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] ali.jishan786:
Then u should use below method which i tell u

1) U download the update file but u must not update that.

2)go into the file manager where in internal memory probably the google OTA folder will be there in thus folder u will find the firmware update zip then copy this zip to internal memory or sd card directly.

3) Go into the custom recovery then choose maual update option then select the firmware zip which u have copied earlier.

4)after flashing clear cache then restart the phone now u hv successfully updated your phone without stock recovery.

Is there any possible way of just rooting the device without the CWM/TWRP recovery being flashed...???

Do a factory reset then clear cache if the problem persist then you may visit the lenovo care.

Yes i did that too but stucked in boot loop....now i have just flashed the stock recovery.....but still stucked

Restoring Stock Recovery ?

In the first post there is a link

STOCK RECOVERY AND BOOT

Is this the original Stock Recovery ? Can I flash this back on my phone to overwrite CWM ?

Any process to flash back the Stock Recovery ? Can I do it using Flashify ?

I want the Stock Recovery back since the A7000 has a new OTA firmware upgrade from Lenovo. And I am not sure if the CWM can handle this OTA update.

Alternatively people who have rooted using this CWM, has anyone tried installing the OTA update ?

Thanks in advance.
