There is a tool in the development section that upgrades your bootloader without taking the hassle to flash a stock ROM. Or you can use flashable zips scattered throughout the forum. But either way, upgrading bootloader through unofficial means is somewhat risky, so consider it before you proceed.

So I was reading anandtechs review on the galaxy s6 and I came across the display section if their review and had a chance to see a defect that I just found out i have, not it only shows up in very bright light, outside mainly but its there, see the picture below I was curious if anyone else has this, my other s6 also has this issue as well wanted to know if its widespread. Here is the link to it as well http://www.anandtech.com/show/9146/the-samsung-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge-review/4

After reading the article you referenced I went outside and took a closer look. I never noticed it before. It's really only something you'll see if you're deliberately looking for it and it only shows up in direct sunlight. I probably would not have even noticed it if I hadn't read the article. Also, in direct sunlight every little smudge and fingerprint shows up too which is a lot more noticeable. I had to get the screen perfectly clean to even see the lines.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyberz09:
Earlier today, I set up Fiddler (a web debugging proxy) on my computer and configured the WiFi connection on my Lenovo A7000-a to pass all traffic through the proxy running on my computer.

I wanted to see what requests my phone makes when checking for firmware upgrades. I found out that requests were made to http://fus.lenovomm.com, more specifically,

[B]http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?optionalparameter=%7B%7D&devicemodel=LenovoA7000_A_ROW&curfirmwarever=A7000-a_S133_150424_ROW&action=querynewfirmware&locale=en[/B]

There was nothing on that page as my phone is already running the latest firmware, so I changed the value for the attribute currfirmwarever and set it to an older firmware version (A7000-a_S129_150324_ROW) and I got an XML file with an OTA download URL at the bottom:

http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/A7000-a_S129_150324_ROW_TO_A7000-a_S133_150424_ROW_WC52.zip

I've identified the names of 3 old firmware versions that can be switched in place of currfirmwarever to get the OTA updates for each one. They are:

1. A7000-a_S124_150303_ROW

http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?devicemodel=LenovoA7000_A_ROW&curfirmwarever=A7000-a_S124_150303_ROW&action=querynewfirmware&locale=en

2. A7000-a_S128_150319_ROW

http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?devicemodel=LenovoA7000_A_ROW&curfirmwarever=A7000-a_S128_150319_ROW&action=querynewfirmware&locale=en

3. A7000-a_S129_150324_ROW

http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?devicemodel=LenovoA7000_A_ROW&curfirmwarever=A7000-a_S129_150324_ROW&action=querynewfirmware&locale=en

However, they're essentially DIFF files used to update old ROM versions to newer ones (e.g. S129_150324 to S133_150424). I know that Lenovo stores entire ROM ZIPs on this server as you can see by visiting these links:

http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?action=querynewfirmwarehtml&curfirmwarever=VIBEROM_V1.0_1407_2_ST_K910&devicemodel=LenovoK910_ROM_ST&locale=en

http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/Kraft-A6000_S032_150327_WCDB.zip

I want to know how I could get the stock ROM for Lenovo A7000-a from this server. I want to know the format of the URL that would get me the download for the complete ROM and not just the OTA update.

I already tried

http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/<ROM BUILD NUMBER HERE>.zip

but it didn't work. The URL I tried was

http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/A7000-a_S133_150424_ROW.zip

Possible Lenovo OTA server & client source code

While looking for a way to download stock ROMs off of Lenovo's servers, I found this:

https://github.com/otaserver/

I believe that to be the source code for Lenovo's OTA server (and client). I think so because of the strings.xml file here:

https://github.com/otaserver/otaclient/blob/master/res/values/strings.xml

Translating it with Google Translate would give you a better idea of what the strings mean. It also contains a reference to "/mnt/sdcard/lenovoota".

The following search result makes it clearer:

https://github.com/otaserver/otasdk/search?utf8=✓&q=lenovo+OR+lenovomm&type=Code

You can clearly see that the code contains a reference to fus.lenovomm.com and this file in particular contains many hints on the working of the OTA server:

https://github.com/otaserver/otasdk/blob/master/src/com/otaserver/client/sdk/MobileInfo.java

I'm not very good with code. If you guys could analyze it and figure out how it works, maybe we'll understand how to make queries to the OTA server that spits out URLs for entire ROM downloads and not just OTA updates.

Can you please post link for lenovo a6000 plus link I can't find...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askermk2000:
Hey OP

I have the solution :)

Look at this link: http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3....l&full_rom&devicemodel=LenovoK50-T5&locale=en

Now I have the Lenovo S8 A7600 phone, so I changed "LenovoK50-T5" to "LenovoA7600". You get the picture.

As you seen in the XML-file, the filenames on the server is different. That's why you couldn't download.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyberz09:
I know you can do that, but it doesn't work if I change the devicemodel parameter to LenovoA7000 or LenovoA7000-a (the server is case sensitive). I get this:

<Error>
<Code>FUS-0112</Code>
<Message>Invalid device model</Message>
</Error>

So I guess what I need is the correct model number string for the Lenovo A7000-a.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQDavid:
Well getting the right URL from VibeRomFlash.exe is not hard you simply connect the device to your pc and you wait for VibeRomFlash.exe to detect the phone and you read the memory of the VibeRomFlash.exe i used Process Hacker (it's some thing like Task Manager but with more options) (also sorry forums wont allow me to post links so you have to google it your self)

Well here is how to do it, in Process Hacker you will find the VibeRomFlash.exe and click on it process in the list and open the properties and there is a Tab called "Memory" and you click on "Strings" (leave option as they are and press OK) then click on "Filter" and on the menu click on "Contains..." and you can use any part of the URL but i used "querynewfirmware"

Here what i got from VibeRomFlash.exe (Note that my stock ROM is not ROW):

I was thinking if you use the ROW you might need to change the locale=zh to locale=en

I think this gives you the update only since it's size is just 396.80MB

fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?action=querynewfirmwarehtml&devicemodel=LenovoK50-T5&curfirmwarever=VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_5.955.1_ST_K50-T5&deviceid=<You put your deviceid here>&locale=zh

And this one gives you the full rom it's about 869.36MB

fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?action=querynewfirmwarehtml&full_rom&devicemodel=LenovoK50-T5&locale=zh
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyberz09:
Looking for stings in memory is an interesting idea. However, I think sniffing HTTP/HTTPS traffic from the phone in Fiddler would also achieve the same thing.

Where can I get VibeRomFlash.exe? Is it a firmware flashing tool from Lenovo and are there different versions for different phones?

I tried using the second link in your post and changed the

devicemodel

parameter to LenovoA7000_A_ROW which I think is the correct model number for A7000-A but it didn't work. I got this error:

It's no longer a Invalid device model error though which may mean that I have the right model number.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQDavid:
sorry i forgot to mention it's Lenovo Smart Assistant and you can get it from support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Phones/K-Series/K3-Note/downloads/DS101291

also you have to see how Lenovo Smart Assistant reads the devicemodel

so far this works but its not a full rom fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?devicemodel=LenovoA7000_A_ROW&curfirmwarever=A7000-a_S133_150424_ROW&action=querynewfirmware&locale=en
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyberz09:
That's alright. I figured out it was Lenovo Smart Assistant by googling "VibeRomFlash.exe". I also inspected network traffic after connecting the A7000-a to my computer and I got the device ID and a few Lenovo server URLs. I know about the URL you mentioned and I know it only queries for OTA update patches.

So far, I've had no luck finding out how to get full firmware downloads from Lenovo's servers. The firmware ZIPs are available on several russian forums as well as here on XDA though. I guess someone who has actually acquired them from Lenovo's servers would know how to get them and whether or not they are downloadable by the general public (maybe only Lenovo service partners have access ).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQDavid:
it might be good to ask lenovo support for full rom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyberz09:
I haven't tried that yet, but I have a feeling they'll direct me to the nearest service center to get my phone fixed. Problem is, my phone is working just fine. I know I can download the firmware from other sources but I'd rather get them from Lenovo themselves.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyberz09:
I want the full ROM so I can flash it back to my phone on my own when disaster strikes without visiting a service center. I could do a factory reset but I want the current stock ROM, not one that's several months old and besides my phone isn't rooted and I haven't flashed a custom recovery so I can't make a NANDroid backup.

I know I can make an adb backup but from what I understand, it's not the same as a NANDroid backup and not everything is backed up. I also am not sure that I can restore my phone from a bootloop using an adb backup.

All things aside, I believe stock firmware is something Lenovo ought to make public and easily available to customers.
