[Lenovo Vibe Shot Questions & Answers] Mars2025:
Bricked Vibe Shot - multiple partitions in device manager - no edl

having read all the above I'd like to share small info once again, it is all about correct qualcomm drivers, you can get them from androidurdu.net, do not search on the site but click on mobile drivers then scroll down and download qualcomm usb drivers.zip . unpack and use "checked" folder within the zip, they are signed and work on any windows including 10th. You see, your brick might be having an edl times, but PC doesn't know without proper drivers installed. You might want to remove all earlier/bad driver versions, for example try sigverif command or just install below qualcomm drivers and try away.

1. connect phone with good usb cable, 2. press power button till it shuts, then release power button and press volume up and down same time and phone will enter edl mode itself almost instantly, if you had twrp installed then it'll enter there, if so run from terminal "reboot edl"; keep device manager open and comm tree will appear along.

other way is via adb reboot edl command, if fastboot doesn't work, or fastboot reboot-edl

on miflash when refreshed you see the short port name and the number like com4 or 3. now it's time to flash, but the last proven flash I did with QiFL, Miflash works as fine.

i used latest international marshmallow version. after first boot, within dev mode unlocked oem + enabled adb and connected to PC with phone turned on in order to accept handshake prompt.

unlocking bootloader is easy via adb command: adb reboot bootloader, then: adb bootloader unlock-go .

all files are available online via some russian speaking forum, you just need to install twrp, then place su.zip onto phone (I copied on internal memory), boot into twrp and flash; if clean - no errors flash then you got neatly rooted marshmallow phone.

my struggle with bricked vibe shot was worth it. earlier I noticed cpu was running high, all cores all the time. also many google apps which I wanted to eliminate for draining the battery and uploading stuff all the time.

right after flashing su.zip boot into phone and install kernel adiutor from play store, then take control of how your 8 cores behave. I discovered the minimums were set at 800+Mhz so I dropped them to 200, then below within cpu section enabled all "disabled" options for boost + enabled "ondemand" + plus few more. You got to understand the process and enjoy tuning your phone your way.

I've charged my vibe shot 3 hours ago and was randomly chatting on whatsap until now and I have 73% battery. Day before yesterday before the bricking, full charge would not last more than 3 hours, incredible battery performance thanks to "adiutor" .

One more important thing, use correct rom version for your phone because of advanced camera and specific drivers camera won't work well.

Names of files used to make my phone a super hero:

1. adb-setup-1.4.2.exe

2. Miflash_140509.exe

3. Qualcomm_USB_Drivers.7z via androidurdu.net

4. TWRP-3.0.2.0_Z90a40_by_SevenMaxs.rar - has .bat files inside; enter bootloader mode and shoot

5. UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-SYSTEMMODE-PRO.zip (I pay for my apps including supersu pro)

6. Z90a40_Android-L_unlock_7M.7z , or use command line via adb shell.

7. Z90a40_S363_160625_ROW_QPST.7z - latest intl Mashmallow Os , to make it more perfect download marshmallow google dialer - patched.apk.

8. QPST / QIFL , used to flash the above rom

I'm not a pro so small mistakes are acceptable, I hope.

ciao.
