The dodgy ZTE firmware flasher
This method can help if your blade cannot boot at all. Consider it a LAST RESORT - people do this all the time and only make their situation worse. Only use it if all the above methods fail or if your IMEI is corrupt. Your IMEI will be lost in the process and you will need to use hex editing to fix it up afterwards. This method also requires windows. Most of this is taken from burstlam’s thread here, which you can also refer to (burstlam has posted screenshots which also help to show what to do). Do the following in order:
Boot into download mode and set up connection
Download and install the ZTE USB driver.
Put your phone in download mode by turning it on with both volume buttons held down at the same time. The screen will remain black, but the notification LED should briefly flash red.
Plug it into your computer. The phone should be recognised in windows device manager under “Ports (COM & LPT)” as “ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface(DFU) (COMxx)”. Take note of the port number (xx). If your phone cannot turn on at all and the LED doesn’t flash, it is dead. Sorry about that.
Flash firmware
Download this file, which contains the ZTE flasher along with firmware to flash your phone with, and unzip it somewhere convenient.
Run “Flasher.exe” from the extracted folder. Press the exclamation mark and login as administrator with the password “ZTEsmt123”.
Under “SW Directory”, select the correct firmware folder inside the extracted folder (European Gen1 firmware or Chinese v880 Gen2 firmware). ONLY flash the one appropriate for your phone.
Leave the default settings as they are – “download cefs” ticked, “no backup restore” selected, and “download” selected.
Go to the “Option” menu and select “Port Config”. Set line 1 to the COM port that you observed in step 3, then press OK.
Press the purple arrow next to line 1 and wait for your phone to be flashed. When finished it should boot into FTM mode.
Edit "channel1.nvm" to hold IMEI
In the flasher folder, open the file “channel1.nvm” with HxD, or a hex editor of your choice.
Go to offset 0x1215. The IMEI is stored between offset 0x1215 and 0x121C. You need to read your correct IMEI from behind your battery and enter it here like this:
In 0x1215 put the first digit of your IMEI followed by A. For each successive pair of digits, enter the second digit followed by the first digit. For example: and IMEI of 123456789012345 would be recorded at 0x1215 as 1A 32 54 76 98 10 32 54. When done, save this file.
Restore channel1.nvm to your phone
Make sure channel1.nvm is in the folder next to the flasher with the correct IMEI.
Connect your phone to your computer and turn on your phone with volume down held. It should boot into FTM mode.
In the flasher, select “restore NV” and “RF/BT/IMEI/unLock info”, and press the purple arrow next to line 1. Your IMEI will now be restored to your phone.
Put clockworkmod in the recovery partition
Take out the battery and turn on the phone. Clockworkmod should load.
Clockworkmod is now installed to your phone’s boot partition. This means that if you install a ROM at this point you will overwrite clockworkmod. You must now flash the correct version of clockworkmod to the recovery partition.
Go to “mounts and storage”, and select mount USB storage. Connect the phone to your computer and copy the correct version of clockworkmod as a zip file (Gen1 for European Gen1 firmware, Gen2 for Chinese firmware) to your SD card, then install it using clockworkmod.
Restart your phone with volume down held. It should boot into clockworkmod. If it boots into FTM mode or does not progress pass the green android, reboot normally and make sure you flashed the correct version of clockworkmod.
You can now flash a ROM (If you flashed Gen1 firmware you can also upgrade to Gen2 via TPT). When you do, check your IMEI. If it is wrong, flash stock recovery in clockworkmod, boot into FTM mode, and repeat (correctly) above from editing channel1.nvm onwards.
Personally i had countered the following situations that put me in difficulty for a few moments:
as put in the download mode the led didnt blinked or turned red as it said it should behave in the tut
and the second part ... after checking the port in Device Manager i didnt noticed the exclamation mark on the driver that meant the driver should be updated ... so when i had to pres the purple arrow nothing happen as actually the flasher didnt recognized the Blade so i chose to update drive from the net and everything went just fine

Please put this thread into stickies section. Going to be very help full for future users

[GUIDE] How to restore the Stock ROM on the Grand X Pro

How to restore the Stock ROM:
For Grand X Pro​OK, today I'll be showing you how to restore the Grand X Pro back to Stock, just as it was before you flashed the custom ROM...
You will need:
A PC Running Windows 7 (ONLY WIN 7 WORKS FOR NOW)
The Grand X Pro
A USB Android Cable
My FlashTool
ZTE VCOM Preloader Drivers MT6577
So , first get the full flashtool from here: ApeelMe's Blogspot - ZTE Grand X Pro FlashTool
Also install the Preloader drivers if you didn't do so...
Plug in the Grand X Pro and then turn it off...
It should (on the PC) install some drivers and fail , don't worry...
Open flashtool and select the NandUtil file and the Scatter file (nandutil.bin and mt6577_scatter.txt , their names are like that)
In the menu where you can select ANDROID , RECOVERY , BOOT , MBR, DSP , Preloader , etc DON'T Touch anything as it will wipe that partition and you may hard-brick your device..
Click "Download" in flashtool, wait till the green circle...
After the green circle appears , close flashtool and disconnect the phone.
Now turn it on, good ol' stock ROM...
Hope this works for you as it did work for me...
TeamMaverick

it didn't work for me, it completes the download and evrything but it still just stands on zte sign an that is it, can you help?

trying to use but i get a nandutil.bin file is not a valid da format. Is it corrupted?
Anyhowse. i went ahead and flshed with all in one. im now with cyanogenmod and cwm which is the opposite of what i needed. How can I return to stock rom and stock recovery? basically i need to send it back to shop because of faulty screen.
Resolved. Followed guide with link here

Didn't have any problems followed these steps:
1. run Flash_tool.exe from desktopfolder (maybe try run as admin if a problem)
2. select File-open scatter loading file
3. select MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt from restore to stock folder.
the ebr1 etc should be automatically filled in with file pathway
4.click download button
5. plug in switched off telephone (if drivers installed properly should just run)
6. wait until green circle appears. hey presto! switch on telephone.

nothing i hav done all that, an the problem is when it is all finished, i get errors such as can't mount data, it doesn find anything, i don't know what to do else, if you want i can post pictures when i enter recovery mode

repair grand x pro
Hi, this is no working for me. Just have CWm after finished.
I tried update tool software too, but can't recognize phone, red x stay at chacking and installing drivers.
Someone help?

Bro Did you try updating your device. And how did you root your device by using kingroot or superuser? I just rooted my lenovo a6000 plus by superuser using cwm. I just wanna know can i unroot my device by the native superuser full unroot option and install ota when lolipop is available without bricking my device?
I ve heard that people who rooted their lenovo a6000 plus with kingroot had problems to unroot and install ota updates is it the same case with superuser?

Same Here!!

phone soft bricked?? plz help
I think my lenovo a6000 plus has been softbricked as it doesn't get pass the logo screen. also recovery mode is not opening ( tried every combination). Help me with this. This phone has really checked up my nerves. the reason for flashing this phone as it had a problem of automatically downloading apps without consent, and video apps popping out in the middle of night(time service, monkey test apps), so the only best solution i found was to flash it( tried every other possibility- factory reset, password change...etc everything). Now it has died on me, can't get pass the logo screen. Also connecting the phone to pc gives me multiple drive partitions. Please help.

Try to flash any custom rom..but first flash custom recovery using minimal and fastboot

hi bud your situation seems to be similar to mine here is how I was able to work out mine, go to boycracked webpage use this " boycracked How to Unbrick Lenovo A6000" In google (sorry I cannot add webpage due to restrictions) the link from boycracked (mentioned above )actually worked the trick was to hold vol up+down key (while the phone is off) and then insert the usb into your computer, secondly my computer kept of saying that qualcomms --digital signatures not verified and the port is supposed to be Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 where as mine showed up to 9091, to solve this I uninstalled the drivers and then disabled digital signatures (use goggle how to disable signatures verification on whichever windows you are using) and it worked fine.

Hmm.. nowadays some of the Marshmallow version are coming with locked bootloader.. may be because of that u are getting error.
In such case you need to flash each and every version of marshmallow Firmware and check whether it supports flashing twrp or not from the below link. If you are able to flash twrp or certain frimware, that means its bootloader is not locked.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-J500FN/
or simply try this firmware from below link:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/113125/J500FNXXU1BPK3_J500FNOXA1BPK3_PHE/
Dont forget to make ''on'' oem unlock and usb debugging from developer option.

This is perfect root tutorial in few minutes and everyone says it works

Ok so I think it's because it's a bug I put lollipop on and now it's all done their must be something wrong unless I have to flash marhmellow first ☺
