Hello.

I want to buy this device as replace of my Xperia M4 Aqua. I see there are much ROMs released but sometimes its for A7000 and sometimes for A7000-a.

Is any difference between this? I know exists A7000 Turbo or A7000 Plus with MT6752 1.7GHz and 13MP camera. A7000 has MT6752m 1.5GHz and 8MP camera.

Difference between 6752 and 6762m i found only cpu clock.

I want to flash and use custom roms,.beacause lastest i used was CM12.1 (5.1.1) in Galaxy Ace 3... On M4 Aqua i was stuck in 5.0 stock, beacause AOSP and CM12 not usable for daily use, and much more negatives to this phone.. I see here on A7000 is option default SD write disk in stock and some other ROMs, it is good to have device with low price and much pros.

Once one question, it is overheating? I can tell you my M4 Aqua could have more than 80*C CPU temp in gaming in few minutes.. It was hard to touch it..

ive done that already but it seems that i cant get into twrp recovery after flashing
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] sanctioned_k:
A7000 and a7000-a are essentially the same phone......the plus and turbo versions do not have many updates/development.......caus they were not very famous......the h/w and s/w build were not very stable........no it does not over heat( not as much as ur m4)......but yea it does get hot depending on the usage......only if u play heavy games like asphant 8 and brothers in arms for long time(2 to 3 hrs then it will heat up considerable....... But would still be less than m4....…..I'd u are that interested in custom Roms.....go for micromax yureka or yureka plus.....they both have stock cyanogen OS (not cyanogenmod OS there is a difference...... But is not that noticeable)

[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] aznracr_X:
For A7000 users who have blank IMEI, try this:

You can do this for both SIM 1 and SIM 2.

If you can't open Engineering mode using the code, you will need to download and install Nova Launcher, make an activity shortcut by pressing and holding on a empty space on the homescreen, then selecting Widgets, then under Nova Launcher, select Activities. Once released, a list of apps will appear. Scroll to Engineering Mode, click on it, then select .Engineermode, NOT .LenovoEngineermode.

How long did you wait after rebooting? Sometimes it takes 20-25 minutes for a normal start up after flashing custom ROM.

If phone is not starting up, then flash the ROM again via sp flash tools

Flashing bugs with lenovo is understood

my device is on boot loop condition,

i download cwm recovery from here and flash it then restart mobile then i get " Tool DL image fail! " error on logo screen then nothing happens, mobile continues restarting on background as i feel vibrates.

ok so i got its softbrick.

then i decided to download stock rom provided here from google drive and it takes 10 hours as i have very slow internet download speed around 30-40 kbps.

its okay, then i extract it and flash the whole stock firmware still device is on same condition, is it really stock firmware for Lenovo A7000?

i am unable to even recovery my softbrick device using this firmware .

please help someone who already done flashing this firmware ? any of you face the same issue?

Install stock firmware available at page1

Guys i had flashed the stock firmware given in this thread at page1 (google link).

Below are the steps i followed.

Note: This process will wipe off all your phone data. Ensure you have proper backups taken before proceeding.

1. Poweroff your mobile. Ensure enough battery backup is there.

2. Go to the downloaded folder of your firmware zip file.

[IMG="Extract Firmware zip"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3320711&stc=1&d=1432023403[/IMG]

3. Now go to the extracted directory => "A7000-a_USR_S134_1505051536_MP6.V3_LENOVO6752_BMAIN_ROW\copybin" and extract taget_bin zip file

[IMG="target bin dir"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3320712&stc=1&d=1432043173[/IMG]

4. Now go to the extracted directory => "A7000-a_USR_S134_1505051536_MP6.V3_LENOVO6752_BMAIN_ROW\flashtools" and extract upgrade_tool*.rar file

[IMG="extract upgrade tool"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3320713&stc=1&d=1432043418[/IMG]

5. open the flash tool as showed below.

[IMG="open flash tool"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3320714&stc=1&d=1432043691[/IMG]

6. Select scatter file as showed below. Scatter file location can be found at "A7000-a_USR_S134_1505051536_MP6.V3_LENOVO6752_BMAIN_ROW\copybin\target_bin\target_bin"

[IMG="scatter file"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3320718&stc=1&d=1432043691[/IMG]

7. Enable "Firmware Upgrade" option

[IMG="enable firmware upgrade"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3320721&stc=1&d=1432043847[/IMG]

8. Check download option. ensure you enable the option as shown below.

[IMG="check download option"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3320719&stc=1&d=1432044016[/IMG]

9. Click download option and wait for 20-10 secs. Connect your powered off phone with battery to the usb cable.

Note: Hope you have installed the VCOM usb drivers before this step.

[IMG="Download click"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3320720&stc=1&d=1432044016[/IMG]

10. Once the flashing process starts it will go on for around 5 mins. Once you see the successful "ticked green image" after the flashing process completes. unplug the usb cable and power on your mobile wait for 10-15 mins until you get your welcome screen for Lenovo A7000-a.

11. Enjoy Hope these steps would be helpful for someone here :angel:
