Disable update CM recovery option in developer options... Then flash custom recovery.... it will work.
once flashing twrp recovery, you will need to use
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf reboot
command.
remove battery after install recovery before restarting phone
then insert battery and start in custom recovery
install Custom Recovery
1) enable developer options
2)enable advance reboot and usb debugging
3)disable Update CM recovery option
4)reboot to bootloader and flash recovery
" fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery recovery_twrpyulolli.img "
5) directly disconnect phone (phone displaying FASTBOOT MODE)
6) remove battery and start phone in recovery mode using volume UP+DOWN and power key
7) And YOUR are IN TWRP RECOVERY ......
THIS method work for me perfectly .....i m also having same problem of flashing custom recovery and again showing CM RECOVERY

Hello all, I have a Lenovo a6000 smartphone. It was owned by my friend. She had a problem with the android os, so she went to a local store and the there it got hard bricked. Now if I turn it on it only vibrates once. no backlight or any picture. If I press and hold vol- and power buttons together LCD backlight turns on but no display. then it goes off and then again turns on. PC does not detect it. Can anyone help me getting it out from this state?

You need to have adb and fastboot drivers for your phone to correctly get detected.
Here's the LINK FOR QFIL TUTORIAL. You'll need another set of drivers called as the QCOM drivers which are mentioned in the tutorial from the above link.
Hope this helps.
I already have installed the drivers. Still not detected. Even the device manager does not show a device is connected

You should try changing the usb cable you are using. Or maybe that guy in the local repair shop didn't put the sub PCB board back correctly.

Lenovo A6000 doesn't come with a locked bootloader B-l
If you can boot into fastboot then you should flash twrp from it depending on the current android version of the device. If it had been on kitkat flash this TWRP v2.8.6.0 or if it has been updated to lollipop then flash the latest TWRP v3.1.0.
For this you need to first have the fastboot drivers installed and also the minimal adb and fastboot tool. Then place the required TWRP in that folder, better rename the file to 'recovery.img' and then in the CMD window which you open by Shift + Right Click first type
Code:
fastboot devices
To check whether your device is detected by the tool and haa got drivers installed correctly.
Later, if successful, type in
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then you'll have TWRP recovery installed.
Then flash any ROM on the device using it.

Btw are you sure it does not come with a locked bootloader? I tried to flash the stock recovery and got an error saying "unknown command or device is lock"

Yeah bro I'm 100% positive. I think unknown command is displayed when you flash the wrong version of recovery.
You can also try
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Sometimes only this works which temporarily boots into the custom recovery.

You've tried booting into Download mode? It requires you to press the VOL UP + POWER KEY, then you need to select the Download mode in it to perform flashing through QPST.
Also, you never mentioned what android version was the device on, earlier.

With that and pressing vol +, vol - and power at same time you enter in flash mode and start to flash the rom

Hi Have got succeeded or not, if not follow the guide.
Is your phone being detected by PC if yes then you have chances of recovering your phone.
1. Download 15 Seconds ADB and Fastboot Drivers. Visit the official XDA forum for download and installation instructions.
2. Install Huawei HiSuite which will install drivers .
3. If HiSuite doesn't install Install drivers then install universal drivers for your device .
Now connect your device to pc and open HiSuite and click on system recovery it will show options for recovery if it is success then you are fine if not then proceed to this method.
Connect your phone to PC.
Open Command Prompt in the directory where you have extracted the ADB files by holding Shift and Right Mouse Button and finally click Open Command Prompt window here in the context menu.
Completely power off your device.
While holding Volume Down button, connect your device to PC via USB cable to boot to Fastboot Mode.
1. Type the following command in ADB :
Code:
adb devices
If your device is being detected and it shows list of devices attached and its serial number.
2.Now download the firmware of the phone before your phone got bootlooped extract the update using the file here
3.Now copy the following files ( boot.img, recovery.img and system.img ,cust.img ) from the extracted files to the ADB files directory.
4.Now Execute these commands one at a time using the command prompt.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
5.Now Perform a Factory Reset if your phone got recovered.
If not then download the stock recovery of your Device and try steps 2,3,4.
Even if it doesn't get succeeded then try this option .
If your device got bootlooped while on Lollipop or Marshmallow then you have one more way to recover .
6.Now download the latest TWRP from here and boot into TWRP recovery if you cant enter TWRP recovery for this version then try the previous TWRP versions like 2.8.7 ,
7.Use the following command to flash the TWRP recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
8.Then download any of the custom ROMs or ask any of the XDA members for TWRP backup for your device and flash them through Recovery.
Then Reboot your Device.
You would most probably recover your device from any of the above methods . I too had the same problem and My device was use less for almost 6 months but after several trial and error methods my device got recovered.

Did you try flashing different variant ROM ie different builds?
Actually I too got the same problem bootlooped on LP but cant flash the LP ROM back so I flashed different Region ROM.
Give a try to TWRP Method It should give you success.
Imp:
Try the previous ROM where you got Bootloop, or the version earlier to it.If it doesn't succeed try the rom which you got initially on your mobile.
PS: If your phone is being detected by your PC you have good chances of recovering your phone.
I have now spent the entire day trying to get this thing to work, and having used up all the help from xda, I am asking you guys for help. Here's my situation:
I am trying to install TWRP on my Zenfone Max Pro M1. So I followed all the guides available, and downloaded the drivers, unlock.bat, TWRP img etc and did what I have always done on all my phones.
My computer also recognizes the device when I try fastboot devices. But the second I try to fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, the phone goes onto a black screen with "Press any key to shut down" written on it. I have tried every combination out there, and I don't know what to do now.
Please help.
Did you unlock boot loader? After that press volume up and power button,then you can enter fastboot screen. After that use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I have same problem plz help
1. boot into fastboot.
2. make sure fastboot can see the device 'fastboot devices'
3. fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxx.img
4. boot into twrp.
Did that work?

No, you must have done something else too. I'm trying to use fastboot mode to flash the fastboot firmware using Asus Flash Tool but as soon as AFT detects the device, it goes all black with the screen saying" press any key to shut down". Did you installed any other drivers or used any other system to do it?

Nope. Just used Powershell to execute the bat file and then push TWRP.
CMD wasn't working for me.
So I flashed the stock pie rom from this forum, came from pixel experience 9. After I flashed the ROM I also flashed the twrp installer and when I rebooted it says the system has been destroyed and press the power button to shut down. I can boot the phone in fastboot but it doesn't recognise it even though the drivers are installed and it worked perfectly before. The miflash program also doesn't recognise anything after I press refresh.
Is there anything I can do?

Thanks for the solution. Worked for me as well for similar problem. A simplified step by step if anyone still couldn't get it to work.
Power off your phone as asked by the Error Message
Press Volume Down + Power button simultaneously to boot into fastboot.
Load Command Prompt in the ADB/Fastboot folder in your PC (ADB and other drivers need to be installed)
Type "fastboot continue" and press enter
And you are done. If your phone is not recognized by the PC (after you put it to fastboot mode) make sure you have proper Drivers installed for your devices. You can use MiFlashTools to install required drivers automatically.

Thanks for this. This happened to me two weeks ago, had to completely flash stock rom and begin from zero. Hopefully others will see this and avoid starting fresh.
