What abou root access?

What about losing root access? If u r reverting back to stock recovery, then do the necessary steps to accommodate the OTA, what will happen : (1) OTA update successful, root intact? Or, (2) OTA failed, Root intact. Or (3) OTA successful, but root is lost?

Please, let me know if anybody has succeeded or failed.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] excel0:
You do have a point. Did you use the SP flash tool included in the firmware? I know it seems like a stupid question but I see no other way that error can be caused other than corrupt .img files.

Regarding Unrooting

Dear Experts,

I've rooted my phone with the procedure given in main thread.

Now I want to unroot it because I want to get servicing done for this phone.

What is the simplest way to unroot the phone? Any recovery package exists to unroot SuperSU?

Thanks,

ota update issue

Let me raise my ota update issues here ( naive though they may be).

Presently my device is on s_133.

I have downloaded the s_136 ota update. And Inside Google ota folder on ext.sd there is the zip file.It has also been copied to internal SD.

I have tried to flash it both through

custom recovery(cwm) and stock recovery{thanks to puchupechu and maxrits(ritesh)} but the flashing doesn't take place either from internal SD or from external.

I have tried changing default write SD but to no avail.

What might be the possible reasons for the failure?

If this question is already answered, please lead me there.

---------- Post added at 03:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 AM ----------

First of all I am no expert.

You can do the following.

In super su app there is an option to for " full unroot". Try it.( no harm done)

Then you can do the stock recovery in this thread( in the very beginning of this thread)

Flash the recovery using the sp flash tool and the last provided scatter.

Then you may be good to take the device to service center

Link for stock recovery files(including scatter)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_RnOWVq6YXfUDVxSFhGMXFTTUU/edit?usp=docslist_api

Link for scatter only

Did you install the drivers included in the firmware? Also try checking the MD5 check sum of the firmware you downloaded. The firmware I downloaded has check sum: AACF0BA170FF2134A90C919D59A3EAC5 - If it's not the same then you have to probably REALLY have to re-download the firmware. I hope this ultimately solves your problem. :good:

Hello [MENTION=6572195]puchupechu[/MENTION] I thank you very much for all the hard work you've spent on this phone in order for us power users to really make our phone be OURS without restrictions using the power of root access. Anyway I'm kindly asking you to please provide checksums to the files that you linked here. It would really help reduce the number of factors that causes and error an also help diagnose flashing errors more quickly. But you know, no rush man, no rush.

Succeeded in getting S_136_150519 ROM flashing.

Hii all interested. As I had told to post my observation, I succeeded in flashing this S_136 version ROM and just now I am updating (OTA) to S_137. I am very happy that it is a success. After flashing, when my phone booted up, it took a longer time. I was afraid if any thing was wrong, but after almost 10 minutes it flashed the starting set up page. Then it is rolling on. Now, if any body has checked to see that if re-rooting is a success on S_137 version or not?

[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
Why get all freaked out! Back up your current ROM ( if you uninstall all user apps in advance it will save a lot of space) through twrp or cwm( I did so through twrp and and successfully restored- no Imei was lost) and flash the the new ROM. If anything untoward happens ( not likely) you can always restore the old one through twrp( you will have to flash twrp again)

pls tell which system apps can be removed?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] sam_80_2003:
Thanks bro...

I had never used TWRP, only CWM.

I backedup myphone first and then flashed the s136. Then did a OTA upgrade to s137. Then rooted it again using the same process in this post.

One of the most important reason I like root access is because of the app Adaway. I hate all the ads that are pushed / displayed to our devices by all these apps and google. Adaway removes them all and gives an amazing NO ADs experience.

Thanks to all the members here in this thread. each and everyone here knowing / unknowingly contributes something or the other.

Special thanks to those who took all the efforts to make these recoveries and stock firmware available here and for the person who gave screen shots of the firmware install process.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
OK, here goes the list.

First you can go to settings- apps- downloaded. Once there you will see apps like uc, four or five games, facebook,chrome etc. These are as you know not system apps but provided on board as user apps. You can uninstall all of them( I did so except for the browsers and google drive)

Then in system you can uninstall ( use titanium backup so that you can do a back up of the apps you intend to uninstall) YouTube( tubemate is what i prefer), maps ,ebook reader,etc. Make sure you don't uninstall default launcher and file manager. There are a couple of other system apps I uninstalled but don't remember which they were. Let me see if I can send you the screen shots of the apps I have kept on system

Hello OP, the description in the link is quite confusing. It says that the firmware is "ROW" version yet it also says "Only EURO version of the smartphone". Also it says "Android 4.4.2" although it's clearly a more recent firmware than s134 which is Android 5.0

There are actually 2 "recovery" menus. My guess you are in wrong one.

One is some test menu which is completely in Chinese and other one is recovery in Chinese and English (if you have not flashed other recovery).

You can get in Chinese test menu by powering off your device and holding VolUp and pressing PowerButton till phone vibrates.

You can get into recovery by powering off your device holding VolUp AND VolDown and pressing PowerButton till phone vibrates.

[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
Yes,before flashing twrp you have to update device drivers.

if you are using windows 7, select it. if it is win8, select win 8 driver folder(unzipped,of course).

Assuming you have the win 7 driver folder

before updating drivers you have to go to advanced system settings.

for this right click on the on computer icon on desk top( this pc in win 8).

select properties-advanced system settings-harware-device istallation settings.

once there tick 'no let me choose what to do and 'never install driver software from windows update'

{ for win 8 you have to go to advances system start up options and disable driver check-just google ' how to disable driver check up in windows 8. you will get ample tutorial]

again,righ click on the computer icon-properties-device manager.

now under 'monitors' button and under other devices button' you will see the already installed drivers. just count how many drivers are there and which ones they are;

Now ;

1) power off your phone.

2) pressing volume up button connect it to the computer by your usb[keep the vol up button pressed]

3) you will see the screen jumbing and the phone driver will appear. now you can release the vol up button[ while doing this you will see some chinese words on your phone-just ignor them]]

4) when the new driver appears right click and give update drivers.

5} a window will appear . select the unzipped folder and update.

you will see the message ' mediatek vcom drivers successfully updated ' on the task bar now or after restat.

6) restart your computer.

7) after restarting, open sp fash tool folder and open flash tool as administrator.

8) select scatter loading file by clicking the scatter loading folder button on the flash tool( if it does not load automaticaaly)

9) once the scatter is loaded click on the recovery tab under location ( number 4} and select recovery file from the folder( it should also automaticaaly load)

10) go to options tab on the flash tool( between file and window tabs) and click download and tick 'DA DL all checksum'.

11) now close that window and come back to the main window.

12) sect download only and download.

13) swich off your phone and connect to the usb. fashing will be with ok signal at the end.

if flashing takes time just reattach your phone with the usb.

(This is how I did it. I had to spend a whole week on it before it finally worked. )

Use sp tool v5.1444.
