If anyone managed to flash A6020a40 please let me know what version of QFIL and which ROM you used.

I tried many combinations and I keep having Sahara fail.

Un brick lenovo vibe k5 plus

Once I've tried to install open qfil(which I've downloaded from a android mtk)it asked to install .net framework 4.0.3019.but when i installed .net framework 4.5,qfil opened.when i tried to flash it it says fh loader fail firehose fail sys can't find the file specified and sometimes sahara fail.

i even downloaded the qfil file u gave me but it's not at all installing..and I've tried to install the qfil what you have given,it says some file is corrupted .(however it needs a .net framework 4.0.but I've installed 4.5)

Is it depends on version of .net framework?

I FIXED MY PHONE
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] xmascious:
need help, noob questions

i have a6020a46 (k5 plus), which firmware should i choose? s034? s042? s105? the higher/newer the better?

and what the heck "row" and "usr" means? row=rest of the world? i'm living in Indonesia btw

when i bought the phone, it came with s006 iirc

thx, esp to Shreps
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ChonDoit:
S105 if you want to have Volte working.

ROW = Rest of the world

USR = User applications (Another way to say System, Rom, etc)

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hbtkmr:
Did you have backup of stock ROM,if not you have to flash stock firmware by using qfil.

Before flashing custom ROM you must backup stock ROM......

I just found another way to update the device easily without the Lenovo assistant

So when u recover your Device back to stock (using qfil method) open internal storage and then 0 named folder and a zip for your country like India.ota.zip then move to your SD card and boot to recovery and flash this zip (note- all your data will reset to new so backup your device apps and other things) now download update and it will work....;)

Hey i was flashing my Lenovo K5 plus using the qfil tool and laptop went off suddenly.

I'm assuming the flashing was interrupted halfway and now my phone isn't responding to any of the button combination. No bootloader, no recovery, no VolUp+VolDown as well. When I connect it to charge, the red light comes on. When I try connecting to the laptop again, it says "Device descriptor request failed, could not recognize". It tried updating the drivers. But it isn't making a difference. No adb, no fastboot. Nothing seems to work. Anyone help??

Hello all,

i made a Geocaching scene with tasker and would like to switch between that scene and another APP... But when i press the home button, the scene disappears. Other apps still remain in the recent apps list. Is there a way to have the scene in that list so i can switch it with another APP.

Thanks!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] svampsson:
A scene isn't an app so it can't be shown in the Recent apps list. It's just overlay.

Your best option is probably to either create a shortcut to the task and place it on your home screen, use AutoNotification to create a notification that shows the scene when clicked on, or to use the Autobubbles alpha app to use a bubble as a shortcut.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Babelbernd:
OK, thank you for your help. Downloading AutoNotification right now...
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Babelbernd:
OK, i downloaded the APP but i cant make the notification clickable. Can you help again please...

You need to setup a profile that reacts to when you click on the notification.

So I read through the other thread that talked about VR, but it's dead. So I'm posting a new one to see who's currently doing this, if anyone at all.

Are any of you using the Z5 Premium to watch movies through VR? I've never ventured into VR territory but the Z5P keeps luring me in. I don't care about gaming, and I don't care about 3D. What I'm really looking for is a way to block out the rest of the world and watch a movie. It can even just be pitch black around the movie (I guess that's called Void cinema in the world of Oculus?).

There's got to be one of you out there.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifilgud:
I used it twice with a plastic, adjustable and good quality cardboard a coworker bought and it was very cool, as the screen is ver big, it filled the space of the cardboard. I tested some games but for movies I guess it would be cool to. In fact, Im planning to buy one soon. I recommend it :)

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiritoxda:
I've post my experience with watching 3D movies using VRTube on another post + pics perhaps you've seen it. Also, Sony's image enhancements works with VRTube which is great, too bad Sony sound effects do not, i suggest using viper4android for sound enhancements. Also VRTube is pitch black around the screen so it'll be perfect for you. I use sony's bluetooth headphones for a complete wireless experience. I can tell you that the picture is superb, no screen door effect from pixels. I use the colorcross headset since that works best for movies imo. I haven't found a headset with a clearer lens than colorcross although i stop buying headsets a year ago since I've wasted so much money on them, (trial and error).

I've been watching 3D movies on mobile for about 2 years now using this setup, the previous phone i had was the LG G3 (2k screen) which wasn't bad but still has the screen door effect. After upgrading to xz5p my vr experience got better so yes i'd say it was worth it.

I forgot to mention i use a bluetooth remote with a mouse cursor mode, you can get one for cheap on Amazon unless you want to keep taking out your phone to make adjustments.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimex:
Have you used the Bobovr Z4? I've read that a lot of people like that unit. The VRTube app you're speaking of is the one by IdeaMatters (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ideamats.vrtubefull)? The one that looks like it still has Gingerbread interface?

You can get through an entire move no problem without it overheating or anything like that? What do you look for resolution-wise when you're sourcing your movies to watch? Sorry for so many questions, I'm completely clueless when it comes to VR.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiritoxda:
Yea that's the one. The phone gets warm no overheating, I lose about 20%/h watching movies, All the movies i have are all BlueRay quality in its highest resolution, The movie file can take up 10-20gb each..
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimex:
That doesn't say much. So I'm guessing you're sourcing BluRay 4K rips at 3840x2160, ya? So I'm just trying to educate myself, but that would mean when you watch it in your VR headset you're effectively getting 1920x1080 to each eye and watching the film in FHD?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiritoxda:
No the full video resolution is usually 1920x1080p so each eye would be getting 960 x 1080
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimex:
But I'm guessing that's still plenty clear and enjoyable due to the lack of SDE?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiritoxda:
Yup.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimex:
So I just got my Z5P yesterday, but first time playing with it tonight. Do I need to force 4k through ADB or anything like that to get the best VR experience?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonshipman:
No. Android automatically plays back video (anything using SurfaceView which is just a buffered view) at full resolution.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimex:
If that's the case, than what's going on here (2k vs 4k resolution)? Am I able to make the VR screen larger but in essence the video played within it is the same resolution for both?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cleoold:
Then it'll better be 4k Blu-ray video with 20 more gigabytes
