That's the generic approach you need to take on a normal phone. Samsung phones don't have a fastboot mode, you need to go into Download Mode and flash it in there.

My lenovo a6000 is hard bricked. PC not detecting it.

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.

There is only one pcb in it. Changing the cable does not make a difference

One update. I can get into the fastboot mode. But the bootloader is locked. What to do?

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.

Thanks! I will try it and post the results.
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.

Try this with the CWM recovery too.
BTW does your device gets detected by fastboot devices command? Also, have you tried the QPST method?

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.

If i press and hold vol up and power key together the phone only vibrates once and shows nothing. And i think my friend applied the lollipop update on it. She is not sure.

I think you are missing something (maybe).
The command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
If the recovery files name is twrp.img then command will be "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img".

Need help, bricked my 3s

Was supposed to flash CM13 Rom. I did a full wipe including system via TWRP.
Before flashing I decided to reboot into recovery, but it didn't. Only gets stuck in the MI logo now. Can't boot into recovery anymore.
I can go into Fastboot mode. Tried flashing twrp via ADB but whenever i type 'adb devices' in command prompt it says device is offline.
Tried to enter EDL via ADB in fastboot mode, it gets stuck at 'waiting for device'.
When plugged in PC, it gets detected as USB ADB interface
Bootloader was unlocked prior, was on xioami.eu ROM before this. I have TWRP system backup of last ROM installed.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction on what to do next. Very much appreciated, thank you.

Hi Supdow,
I was facing with the same issue and I also thought I bricked my phone... No worries. To solve it is very easy, just unlock your bootloader again with Mi UnlockTool. Than you have access to your recovery again.
Good luck!

Was able to unlock bootloader again, but I still can't access recovery. I may have forgotten how to exactly do this since the last time I did it. What do i have to do after unlocking bootloader? I tried flashing TWRP via fastboot but it only gives me an error.

So you have a few options
1. Hold volume+ & - and power (if you have twrp)
2. Take fedosis twrp 3.1 and installer, put twrp 3.1 into extracted installer folder, then shift+right click on installer folder, open cmd, then type
fastboot flash recovery twrp_name.img
fastboot boot twrp_name.img (or do step 1)
3. Just flash dev/stable with miflash (recommendation: go into fastboot, then like step 2 go into cmd and type fastboot oem edl then flash mi rom)
Hope this helps

Unable to install TWRP

Hey guys, I'm at a lost here. I don't think I'm that stupid but I am following all steps from the guides to install TWRP without luck. I already managed to unlock my bootloader with Axon7Toolkit. I already certified that QUSB_Bulk driver is installed, I did it with Zadig, but when in EDL mode, even after killing adb, the axon7tool can't find it. I tried installing a zip with the toolkit but when I choose the package, the toolkit simply closes. Is that me? My phone?
Thank you!

What software version are you on?

I was at latest nougat but I downgraded to B10

Doing it via fastboot never fails for me.
Get to fastboot put two img in adb folder (I rename it for ease of typing since I suck) rename to recovery.img
Type this cmd in adb
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot to recovery and root. Done deal

download 3.1.0.0 twrp into your download folder on your desktop enter fastboot into your phone open up your command prmt type fastboot devices, your phone should appear then type fastboot flash recovery then go to the twrp right click drag it into the command prmt air page and place it there. you should see the file then hit enter. It'll take like 5 seconds it's really fast then reboot t recovery. when in twrp it'll ask you to install it again say no and uncheck the to options. DONE.

After loads of stress and bangs on the table I managed to unlock, install TWRP, LOS and root. I removed every driver related to my cell phone, deleted everything I download from it and started from scratch. I installed TWRP via fastboot but wasn't able to enter recovery mode, than I mase the stupidity to lock the bootloader back and got stuck in that password screen. Then I gave another go with the toolkit, unlocked it again and, I don't know how or why, it finally booted TWRP. Now everything is OK. Glad to be back to "Nexus mode" after so many time.
Thank you!

fastboot devices
does not respond?
Then something should be wrong with PC, cables or device hardly bricked
PS: Is it really in Fastboot mode, did you successfully unlock Fastboot preciously?

yes I did succesfully unlock Fastboot previously. Now fastboot devices not respond.
It looks like it s hardly bricked. Is there anything I can do with hard bricked phone?
