[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chhapil:
Try these steps

1. Boot into fastboot

2. Fastboot format system

3. Fastboot -w ( note that this step erases everything on your phone. Internal storage also)

3. Now you can reboot into stock recovery

4. Do a factory reset from stock recovery

5. Now reboot to bootloader

6. Fastboot boot twrp.img ( use the recovery in OP)

7. Now you can flash any Rom you want)

[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sunny.singh:
So Here Is the Procedure to Roll Back to Kitkat 4.4.4 From Lollipop 5.0.2...

Things u need are ..

1. Stock ROM in Zip Format which can be updated through Stock Recovery...

2. Phillz Recovery, CWM recovery...

3. Full Charged A6000/a6000 plus

4. Minimal ADB

5. A6000 Drivers

6. Winrar

7. Bit of Dedication

8. Notepad++

9. X-plore

U r ready Now

Now firstly u need to understand how Stock Recovery works . Basically when u try to Install Older ROM on Phone with Newer ROM u get an error Saying That ' Cant install older build over New Build ' Abort. So now u need to edit the Stock ROM .zip file without extracting by using Win RAR and Edit the (UTC and DATE) in following files same as u are having on ur current ROM u can see the build.prop for the date and UTC by using xplore file manager.

1.) Build.prop

2.) Build.prop.bakforspec

3.) Updater-script \META-INF\com\google\android via Notepad++

4.) Updater-script \META-INF\com\android via Notepad++

Save the edited ROM after every Step Carefully

Then Flash the ROM using TWRP ...

Then Boot the Phone in bootloader and use CWM recovery to restore the ROM which can be downloaded through technolaty ..

Then reboot after Wiping DATA Cache Dalvik Cache ..

BAM u r Back on Kittat ..

grin emoticon

If u Dont wanna Do so Much Editing then Just download the files extract them in relevant folder and update Stock ROM in WinRAR without Extraxting

Updater script not present.

I downloaded the rom but couldn't find the updater script in it. I'm a bit scared to update to lollipop as it will lock the bootloader.

Just as a precaution can I unlock the bootloader if it does. I would like to root and install custom recovery.
[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] debaxish:
for me, it went smooth @ second shot. post downloading the OTA, while upgrading it showing an error "insufficient space" while free space in internal storage was 3.9 GB. i tried thru wipe data/factory reset but again it was showing mount error. while downloading for second time, i have copied the .zip file to external sd from lenovoota folder which was 1.02 GB on size. booted into recovery, wipe data/factory reset and did via "update from external storage".

it took nearly 20 minutes to install, and 10 minutes to first boot. OS is smoother than previous build, and loaded few new feature like blocking sms/calls, start up and traffic which is good for any normal user. loaded with few games which were removed immediately but interesting to see Asphalt 8 running without any additional data download [i am not able to find out the data folder for A8 to place old game saves]. another good thing i noticed the task manager while clearing app [FB and chrome both nearly consumes 200MB of memory]

i have seen posts all over the net saying install error due to "switching error", "buggy call receiving", "slow phone" etc, but have not experienced yet.

HI, i need your help please.. I installed about a month ago Lollipop on my Xperia S by some YouTube tutorial. There was a link for root package, but i forgot to install it before installing Lollipop, and now i cant get to CWM recovery, i tried (almost?) everything, so i cant install the rar, and one-click root sw/kingo root doesnt work for me ..

If i flash recovery again, will i lost my data/OS or something? I dont want to install etc. everything again so please, let me know how to deal with this. Also i turned off the "ambient thing", but its still pretty sensitive - it keeps unlocking itself when I put in on my bike or just when im trying to clean it which never happened to me before.

i was wondering where the test point for this phone is? i have opened it and found around 4 or so points but i dont know which is the right one. can someone show me? i need to unbrick a xperia TL.
[LG Optimus L90] baldy21:
After trying to install twrp, my phone bricked.

I managed to unbrick it and flash stock 5.0.2 .kdz ! Through the procedure of unbricking, I performed a low level format which erased everything including my /efs partition and everything included in it.

Therefore my IMEI is currently 0 and my IMEI SV is 00.

I have tried to install my IMEI through QPST but it will not connect to my phone as it will not recognize it (No ESN, No Phone Connected).

I have tried to connect to my phone through CDMA and EFS Professional but still the same.

During my search on the forums, I found that Ishould enter DIAG mode in my phone, but I cannot find an option for this.

LG said I am not covered by warranty as the /EFS partition is not something that could be wiped without root or a modification to the system.

The main problem is that I do not have a backup. Please help me,

Thanks in advance!
[LG Optimus L90] Xemidra:
If you had a backup made by TWRP then you could restore your EFS partition. Unfortunately I don't know any other way to fix it.
[LG Optimus L90] baldy21:
That's the thing, my whole trouble begun when I tried to install TWRP!
[LG Optimus L90] Xemidra:
I'm not sure how could you destroy EFS partition with installing TWRP. You should have stick to instructions.
[LG Optimus L90] baldy21:
TWRP didn't kill my partition, unbricking the device did! Plus If you can't offer a solution or any kind of help, don't answer at all! I am not here for judgement!
[LG Optimus L90] Xemidra:
I'm not judging xD

I'm trying to understand how did you exactly destroy your EFS partition. You didn't provide enough information about it, except saying that you did some kind of low-level-format (you didn't mention how or why). What surprised me was that installing TWRP doesn't require to perform any low-level-format. That why I wrote about sticking with instructions. Then you wrote that you messed up your phone while trying to install TWRP and got you IMEI lost during unbricking. You didn't wrote what exactly meant bricking and what "procedure" did you performed to fix your phone.

My point is that you should have written exactly what happened, not only how you got there and what did you tried to do to fix it. In my opinion it's hard to propose any solution when we don't know what exactly did you do.

Also, unbricking your phone with other variant image will destroy your radio info and I don't know if there is a way to recover it in L90. Even if you use your variant image, but from other phone, it will probably overwrite your unique info, that's why it's wise to make a backup of your phone after rooting with dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/external_SD/unbrick.img bs=1024 count=168960 - this will be YOUR phone backup, don't share with anyone and store it in a safe place.

Back in time when I had the Optimus 2x, it was possible using Tutty (debug mode ON) and accessing LG debug (in our L90 it's 3845#*VARIANT# e.g. 3845#*410#), of course you must use the IMEI printed in the sticker in the back cover (this is not possible anymore FYI).

Actually, there is not EFS partition in L90 indeed, instead, the IMEI and other radio info are stored in modemst1 and modemst1 partitions. As I suspected before, unbrick images takes some NAND blocks and writes to an image file - it takes the partition 1 to 15, which includes modemst1 and modemst2 partitions (11 and 12). These partitions are also not flasheable via KDZ (these partitions are absent), so before doing any modification after rooting your phone, do yourself a favor and backup modemst1 and modemst2 partitions, because if anything goes wrong, unless someone find a way to inject the right IMEI data in modemst1 and modemst1 image files for further flashing, you will end with a "radio brick".

Found a tutorial here at xda how to backup and restore modemst partitions : http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329

Hello,

where would be the appropriate forum to post this link:

Mod Edit: link removed

thanx
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

Since that is essentially a paid commercial app... With a long trial period, it would be best to contact [MENTION=487859]jerdog[/MENTION], our OEM relations specialist, about that and go from there. He handles those sorts of things. Posting it directly in the forums will likely see your thread closed.

Good luck!
[XDA Assist] pudnik:
Not a problem. I do want to remind everyone, however, and this is based on the last few days of research -

That the Intel Mobile Development Kit in my opinion is currently the ONLY way to test and debug privileged code on Samsung Verizon retail devices running Android 5 OG5 and later, and since a way to root those devices may never be found - it will be the only way, period.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBigRuss:
So no matter what image (recovery, boot, system) I try to flash I get the same error of "Permission denied". Model ZE551ML.

I've unlocked my bootloader and previously had TWRP recovery, but while trying to upgrade to .63 by Fastboot flashing method, I got the above error and now it's soft bricked. I managed to get the stock recovery back from within TWRP, but even it won't apply signed updates (fails with Status 7). So I can't flash any of the stock images nor TWRP again, and I'm in a constant bootloop. Any help or suggestions are welcome!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBigRuss:
Well, slight progress. It seems that even with the error message the TWRP image somehow flashed successfully, so I'm restoring my last backup now. However, I still don't understand why the other images keep failing... I will keep working on it, but still need some ideas, please.

Read through the thread started by weeset in q&a it should give you all the information you need to get things going again,
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBigRuss:
Well, after the backup was restored I was up and running again, so I applied the update to .59 by putting the zip on an SD card, then I took the update to .63 OTA.

However, any attempt to flash a .img file still results in the "Permission denied" failure from Fastboot. I can only flash images by the dd command in ADB or Terminal Emulator. The thread you referenced above didn't address how to fix that.
