Are you on TWRP 3.0.x.x?
If yes, then go to Mount Section, enable MTP.
Connect to your PC, transfer desired ROM.zip and flash.
If no TWRP, then reboot to BootLoader/Fastboot
Download latest TWRP from official website, then flash it using command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot (keep holding vol- to enter TWRP)
where "twrp.img" is name of the recovery file.

Try with Latest TWRP build.
And at worst case scenario use Qualcomm Recovery Tool to go back to OOS 2.1.1, as already you have lost all your data.

Lenovo K6 without OS

Hi, I already had my phone rooted and with TWRP installed, but I needed to restore my phone. First I did this trough the system, but I noted that a lot of old files still were there, and I went to TWRP and did a wipe, but selected /system and /cache, now I don't have a OS on my phone.
The phone doesn't turn off, everytime I try to power off, he turn on again, and stay on Lenovo logo. The only thing I can acess is Fastboot mode (via Power down + power), I cant acess TWRP trough the phone, but I found a .bat file, that when I'm in fastboot mode, it flashes twrp on my phone and I can acess it . The other problem is that I always get an error when trying to flash any rom. Things like Error:255 or ".zip file not valid". Tried 2 roms and nothing.
Can someone please help me? I would prefer a stock rom for Brazil, but now I just want any rom, dont even mind if it's not stock.

Error 255 is caused because you are trying to install a 64bit ROM over TWRP (32bits), you need to upgrade TWRP to 64bit, just so you will be able to install a ROM. Remember that you should use Gapps in 64bit [ARM64]
TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/karate/twrp-3.1.1-1-karate.img
Gapps: http://opengapps.org/ (ARM64)

I already had this version of twrp, but downloaded anyway and got the same error when tring to sideload a ROM "Updater process ended with ERROR: 255" . I don't know what to do anymore, I tried with 4 different ROMs, also I searched for a method to erase the lines with asserts on "update-scripts" in META-INF, but then I got a "Invalid ZIP file" error.

Try to go back to the 32bits version and erase everything and format the data and return to the 64bit version because here I had this problem it was because of the TWRP that I was using, it was the 32bits version, after that I upgraded to the 64bits version I did not have this problem. Remembering that in the site https://dl.twrp.me/karate/ has two versions of TWRP, the version twrp-3.1.1-0-karate.img is 32bits and the version twrp-3.1.1-1-karate. img is 64bit.

MAN, the ERROR: 7 now could be solved by deleting the lines with ASSERT in "\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script".
So, thanks for helping me, the problem with 64/32bits worked. I'm really glad that this worked, had stuck for 3 days without OS, now i'm never messing with this stuff again haha.

Dont forget to reboot again into twrp - after flashing 64bit twrp . This is a step that is very important if you will not reboot your phone into twrp after flashing 64 bit twrp then , it will keep showin you the error 255.
So check that .

Use erase the data from wipe option then you will be able to install rom and g-apps.
Every time you will need password, I don't know why but after erasing data you install all files otherwise you need to erase data again and again

I Faced same problem. It's ok that your phone is in weird state for time now. And also possible to recover.
Hopefully you have adb-tool, custom-rom & gapp, twrp.img on your PC.
1) Boot your mobile in fastmode using Power ON with Volume down key for 5 sec (Lenovo log with left hand side sayinh fastboot mode)
2) Connect the mobile to PC using USB & Go to adb tool folder. Open command prompt in this folder & Execute the follow step by step execution
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
3)Wait for mobile to boot in to recovery mode with TWRP
Now need to flash custom-rom followed by gapps installion.
I) You can use pendrive with otg to flash custom-rom followed by gapps
OR
II)You can use phone storage/SD card to flash the custom-rom followed by gapps
OR
III)adb sideload command as fallow
a)In TWRP recovery on mobile, goto Adavanced->ADB Sideload & Swipe to start the sideload
Now on PC execute . Specify custom rom path inside ""
adb sideload "C:\adb\images\MyCustomROM.zip"
Have a patience to complete the operation.
Click back for Adavanced Menu again.
b) Select ADB Sideload & Swipe to start the sideload
Now on PC execute . Specify Gapp path inside ""
adb sideload "C:\adb\images\open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180611.zip"
c)Have a patience to complete the operation.
Once complete go to TWRP Screen.
d)Now go back TWRP main menu & select wipe->format Data.
Go to Reboot->system.
How to install TWRP if no OS there
1) Boot your mobile in fastmode using Power ON with Volume down key for 5 sec (Lenovo log with left hand side sayinh fastboot mode)
2) Connect the mobile to PC using USB & Go to adb tool folder. Open command prompt in this folder & Execute the follow step by step execution
a) To check the device is connected to PC or not
fastboot oem device-info
b) To flash the recovery. Give twrp path inside the ""
fastboot flash recovery "C:\adb\images\twrp.img"
c) To boot into recovery mode
fastboot oem reboot-recovery

Hard Bricked!

Hi,
My devices is stuck on Mi logo, it was not Bootloop, it cant reboot to EDL, sometimes my devices can go to Fasboot mode but sometimes cant, while in fastboot mode I check in the Device drivers section theres no Qualcomm blablabla but the only available is Android Bootloader Interface and when I try to flash my phone via Mi Flash Tool I cant because my devices is not detected, What should I do? :crying:
1. My device is already unlocked
2. Before this I was flashing RR, and it was just fine, then I try to boot to my TWRp but it seems I cant, then I install TWRP and it just works fine, then I want to flash new rom, then I qipe dalvik cache, cache, system, and data then it shows error "partitions blablabla" then I try to factory reset in TWRP, its done its job, then I try to flash the new rom but when I pick "sdcard" (internal storage) it was blank! then I check "sdcard1" (external memory) it was blank too! then I just reboot (it says no OS installed, I just swipe then it stuck on MI Logo).
3. I have tried some tricks to recover it but It cant! (I still didn't tries deep flash cable or either test point method because I don't know how to do that)
4. My devices Is Detected when I typed "fastboot devices" in cmd but not detected in MiFlash Tool.
Please how do I fix this problem?? please help me as soon as possible!!
Thanks.

Help me!
Please someone answers me! :crying:

Since your device is showing in fastboot, flash TWRP again from fastboot. Copy ROM and GApps to external SD card and boot into TWRP. Wipe dalvik, cache, data, system, and internal storage. Flash new ROM, GApps reboot.
If you get any errors while wiping partitions then format the partitions to f2fs or anything then again back to ext4.
Hope this helps!!!
Cheers ?

Yeah. This is not a hard brick. You can also reflash miui from fastboot. Extract that tgz file of miui and click on one of the batch files.

If you're facing issues while flashing magisk modules then you might have done something wrong. Remember that you have to flash force encrypt disabler and format data after that

After successfully flashing image, write 'fastboot oem reboot-recovery'. Your device will boot into a black screen, now double press the power button, swipe to unlock. You will have to flash magisk zip(use adb sideload or flash from sd card) to prevent system from replacing TWRP.
Remember that you'll have to format your device once to be able to access internal storage so that you can restore backups

Hi, I have the same issue and I tried all the possible ways but nothing. Can anyone tell if got the same issue but got resolved

no usb debugging
currently my phone is switched off. I am able to go into normal recovery mode. I think the USB Debugging mode is off. How can i revive it again. I was thinking of applying from SD Card a custom ROM flashing. But how to unroot it first

Twrp Oreo Manning
I am just facing one major problem, every time I reboot my device It seems to be my recovery keeps installing again and again which means it's always so my internal storage - 0, after the formatting it reads it but after a new reboot, it doesn't.

Is this working now?
