Hi, so I've been around here for a while and I've had pretty good success with flashing phones.
However, I have a Lenovo A6000 that is hardbricked with Resurrection Remix ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/development/rom-resurrectionremix-5-8-1-t3555184
Followed the destructions and now it is stuck rebooting. I'll see the neat RR logo start and then it will freeze, and then reboot.....over and over. I didn't wipe the phone and start new...thought I could install TWRP and wipe it, flash the new ROM and be done. Nothing like being confident.
So now, it is hardbricked after trying to flash the stock rom....and I cannot figure out how to fix it. Downloaded QFIL, and the stock ROM, installed the Qualcomm drivers, put the phone into Fastboot with VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON and QFIL see's the phone but gets stuck on fail sahara error. I have done countless searches online and the videos I have found don't resolve the problem. Google search turns up no solution. There is a thread here that basically just dies with no solution.
The phone ready for the trash bin?
Also tried Lenovo Downloader and it also gets stuck on step Sahara.
The little cheap phone belongs to a girlfriend of mine (she's a single mom) who has no money to buy a new one, and everyone here knows how awful the stock ROM. So I'm trying to help her out and flash this bugger. I had an A6000 before I bought my MiMax2 and it wasn't a bad little phone after getting RR on it.
Will anyone be willing to help?
?
So no one is willing to help with this problem huh?
From what I can tell the phone is junk now....even though both QFIL and Lenovo Downloader will see it when I plug it in.
Well...thanks anyway.
So who wants to be paid to help fix this problem? You must have PayPal and must be able to solve the problem.
I guess the problem is that a lower version OS can't be installed via QFIL. For example if the phone got bricked in lollipop you can't install kitkat on it via QFIL. Although the same version OS might work (lollipop to lollipop) and of course higher version OS will work.
I have also had some version of QcomDLoader flash tool work where other flash tools simply failed or even older versions of QcomDLoader didn't work.
This is the one that worked for me https://androiddatahost.com/dt3gh9
move firmware (SW_LENOVO BLABLABLA) to loca disk :C
restart pc > then flash again.

Hi All you very clever people.
This is my first post, have been watching from the shadows for a long time on xda, but have finally met my match and have to ask for help!
I had the (I believe) HK version of lollipop 5.0.1 KDZ that was 'leaked' a while back (possibly the first LP one out?), liked it for the most part but wanted to go back to KK. Tried to flash via KDZ again the KK KDZ. Unknowingly I tried using a USB3.0 socket and it didn't work. I then unplugged the cable from the computer and plugged it into a USB2.0, still didn't work a few times.
Foolishly I thought, 'I know, I'll reset the phone and try again!'. This then stopped me form getting into download mode!!!
I can still get to recovery fine but resetting just gets me back to a black screen. I am getting the 9006 error of bulk usb mode or something. I have tried SRKtools and still cant get to download mode? Is my best bet finding the corresponding .img files for that rom and flashing them in ubuntu?
On that note, does anyone have a link for that KDZ image by any chance. Can't find mine on my computer anymore (again foolishly probably thought, 'won't need that any more, phone is working!').
Also wondering if this has erased the rom on there of if it is just related to boot? It won't boot into the rom at all just black screen after LG logo?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! :good: :good:
Cheers

KitKats are 20x, I think. But you should know that as you already tried to flash one.
Sorry I'm new so I can't post plain links.
Give us some info about your phone please
I have this Lenovo A328 which suddenly had multiple and continuous gapps crashes. I tried to do a factory reset but the problem still existed. I decided to flash the stock rom using SP Flash Tool. Flashing the stock rom succeeded but then after, the device does not charge nor boot up. It does not even respond to vol up(or down) + power which brings up a menu for testing the device(not recovery). I tried to format it first before flashing but the result is still the same. I also tried flashing stock rom from different source. Any idea on this one?
Update
I tried to flash a stock rom on my Lenovo A328 with SP Flash Tool but the process was interrupted and now after I flashed the stock rom successfully, the phone won't charge nor boot, not even to recovery. I noticed in my EMMC Flash that the sizes of GP1 - 4 are all 0x0.
I found a solution in here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2792667
It says that I have to flash the rom using DOWNLOAD first and then flash it again with FIRMWARE UPGRADE. I'm already at the FIWMWARE UPGRADE process but I got this error
Failed to get PMT info.

Hi, I am having the same problem. Could you help?
Hello everyone!
I am facing the same problem!!!
Tried almost all the solutions suggested on different sites or forums, nothing works, still no charge and no start...
Change the PC, the USB cables, drivers, ROM's, you name it... Someone said this MTK devices are hard to brick but still, why we cannot revive our devices??? Hardware failure? Not really according to some technicians as long your phone is detected by the pc in device manager, the phone CAN be "unbricked".
SO, we are missing something, we doing something wrong???
We need help.... SOMEONE???
please send me the firmware
I have the same problem about my lenovo a328. After flashing, it's not booting and turning on. It's not even charging. So what I did is I tried to firmware upgrade it and I got this ''failed to get PMT info'' alert. Someone know how to revive this phone?
I got 2 phones and they've bricked themselves
Hi,
I got 2 Lenovo A328s and they've bricked themselves, having the same symptoms.
I can get them to boot in Recovery, and I am waiting to download an image to sideload with ADB, which seems to work.
One of them was still in use, but had software glitches, like the camera driver not working in any app.
The other one was replaced 10 months ago, but after long time, it also bricked.
I haven't attempted any flash of new firmware.
I have the same problem, the phone isn't charging and I can't use vol up+ power buttons.
Can you send me the software please and some instructions?
Hi everyone i was trying to upgrade my phone's os which is 6.1 to 7.1. i did it with the help of TWRP which failed and my phone was working in recovery mode and. Later was strucked in boot loop. Later i was trying to flash stock rom. But my phone got bricked. It's off for several days it doesn't respond to pressing power buttons nor does it responds to connecting to charger. But while i connect it to computer the new usb added sound comes from computer.
I'm really strucked guys help me out. Every video i see online is for phone which are strucked in boot loop. I'm sure if I'm able to reach that state I'll make it working but for instance ineed to revive it. My friend says i have deleted bootloader how can i put it back ?. Also we disassembled it and assembled it again. It also didn't work.
Well you did something stupid. Upgrading from MM to Nougat without clean flash? Also flashing stock rom with TWRP? Well you can't revive anymore.. If you really Hard bricked buy new phone

any luck reviving your phone? isn't there something like Odin for ASUS to reflash stock rom back?
Search youtube for asus zenfone max 8939 you will find twrp and 7.0 custom rom. My phone is zenfone max 2016 and I'm using resurrection remix rom.
Hello, Dear XDA-Developers.
I was trying some custom ROMs but when I installed Viper4Android and flashed it using Magisk the phone stucks on boot
However I have another problem, I found out that the internal storage of my phone got too small after upgrading into another version of Android, so I wanted to get back to Android 5 stock firmware completed to format the internal storage and not partitioning it as I thought so I tried to flash it in TWRP recovery but sadly after that I bricked the bootloader and the recovery. Next, I decided to flash a board image ALE-L02&L21&L23_MAA001077_Board_Software_general_05021SJN using IMAGE Download Software - IDTML01Ver1001, Still, the process got interrupted maybe because the phone was restarting itself and now I'm getting a screen that shows error after showing Huawei Ascend logo. Is there any chance to fix this dead phone but consider that my pc is no longer detecting the driver that I used to flash the board image, and I can't even turn off the phone now except if I let the battery dies.
Notice: I don't dare to use test points if there is no other choice how much it usually costs to fix it?
Hi,
I'm not sure I'm posting in the right section but, I had a really bad experience upgrading to android 10. Really sluggish and slow... so I tried to downgrade to android 9 by using Lenovo's Rescue and Smart Assistant.
What I did, is to find the stock ROM for my model, and replace the files downloaded by the Rescue Assistant (which downloaded the latest firmware). The process went through, but now the device wont power on.
When I plug in the USB, windows makes a sound, the charging light comes on, but The rescue Assistant nor SP flash tool is able to flash the latest firmware.
Is it bricked for good?
Model : TB-XF606F
Hardware number : 60
Maybe your computer doesn't recognize your tablet. Did you ever try using sp flash tool with your tablet before? You can try reinstall or install a driver for your table if you haven't done it yet.
Well the tablet is recognized as the "mtk vcom..." in device manager. I guess it is the driver that the lenovo rescue app installed.
I have never used sp flash tool with my tablet, just the lenovo rescue.
I tried on 2 different pc and it is the same thing. I think the problem is that I can't turn off the tablet properly, even though, all I can see is a black screen.
I will try to drain the battery by keeping the power button pressed with some scotch tape. I don't know what I can do else.
Edit: I tried a few other times with flash tool using different setting for the connection (with battery and full speed) and nothnig happened. But now windows says it does not recognize my tablet.
did the same thing exactly. . bricked lenovo m10 fhd plus x600v after i flashed a downgrade version. dont try to downgrade this thing. i had already flashed it with 3 or 4 versions the same way , but when i chose to flash the oldest version available with the model , this tab got completly unresponsive , no feedback when try to boot into recovery, fastboot, or system . neither does it gets recognised in windows or anything - device manager dowsnt recognise this usb device ( in device manager properties comments it reads- USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE). if you find a way to reflash the device please let us know. good luck .
Bricked mine after being completely running smoothly on Lineage, then was messing around trying to get gapps installed and jacked up the partitions. TWRP said no OS. Kept messing around and mistakenly locked the bootloader again with apparently an unverified boot partition. . I couldn't get SP Flash tool to work ever either. Pretty sure it's a door stop now.
