Help me guys i dont know what the heck is wrong? Firstly on my k5 a40 2gb i am not able to to install roms. Secondly when i searched in pac rom thread j get to know of installing pico gapps and after it flashed successfully i cant boot into system. Whatever i do in twrp to boot it returnede to twrp, i tried flashing 7.x roms as there is no gapps problem in it, flashed but when i touch reboot sytem rebooting into twrp( tried manual rebooting removing the battery but stuck at lenovl logo) using latest twrp of shreps, then i try to change recovery, also no luck in it. No recovery even booted. Only latest shreps recovery is booting all other even the stock ones stuck at lenovo logo loading screen, dont know what is wrong, totally frustrated. And for the first time when i flashed recovery i need to manually remove the battery and power on to get the recovery to boot otherwise not working.

Solution to boot loop

Hey buddy even I face same issue go to advanced->Terminal->And then type "reboot" without quotes and press enter

Make sure you have an OS installed before doing this, it just worked for me, give it a try.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Scurzmann:
In my knowledge, internal storage does not refer to an actual partition of our device but rather a subsection of the /data partition particularly mounted in /data/media/0 (the only part that's not deleted when wiping /data) which serves as emulated storage available through /sdcard as internal SD card. Trying to change its filesystem will surely fail since it is not a valid independent partition in our flash memory, same goes for dalvik which is also a part of /data. In other words, they depend on whatever filesystem the /data partition is using.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] ADelacroix:
Removing battery is kind of gross, is better enter "fastboot reboot continue" in prompt after sucessfully flashing recovery! Then after systems boot, switch off the phone and go to recovery!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mr.badman:
In my case it didnt work, so what i did was remove the battery.

fastboot flash recovery

to flash it

I've tried twrp with Atock 6.0.1 on my A6020l36 (just booting on it, not replacing stock recovery) to install root and I got infinite boot.

I'm able to adb shell on it and logcat, and it looks like that after rebooting the system cannot mount /sdcard anymore (df didnt show it).

Perhaps it's a nwe partition layout on 6.0.1 and twrp may be updated to correct function on it. Let's see if [MENTION=4493088]Shreps[/MENTION] can help us with his magic.

Any hints ?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Scurzmann:
To prevent the stock firmware from overriding recovery, don't reboot OS yet, you have to immediately boot to recovery right after flashing twrp. Do this:

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fish0s:
Thanks for the help. However no luck. I just spent literally hours trying to disable this OEM unlock thing. It doesn't matter if it's on or off in the developers options, and it doesn't matter if I erase userdata and misc and cache, it still gives me the same error:

FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
FAILED (remote: unlock device to use this command)
FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot flash images)

I can't root the device, since I can't apply ZIP packages from stock recovery since they don't have signature verification, and I can't change anything since I don't have root, and I can't get to any custom recovery because OEM unlock doesn't work for some reason! What to do?

The issue with your version is we don't know if the phone can accept the Vibe K5 Plus build, because it bootloader and modem/radio are different, and may be brick it or lose your bands.

I can't permanent install TWRP, it boot the stock recovery everytime (i'm sure i'm not doing something wrong, i've done this b4)

But still, i can boot it with the "fastboot boot twrp.img", but again:

You have to put SuperSU.zip in the "TWRP" folder in your internal memory, cause twrp only shows this folder (i dunno if its because of the system read-only option that i activated when i first tried)

Resume:

Just put the .zip in the TWRP folder in your internal and then boot twrp and install it. :p

if someone could tell me a fix to that i would be glad
